Do not fall into the error of think
ing that because there is no opposition
to the regular nominees at the prima-
ry there is no occasion to vote. 1t is
important that every Republican
should attend the primaries aud see
that his candidates are nominated by
good representative votes. Do not be
caught mapping by any sharp tricks.

DISCOVERY OF GOLD FIELD
Apparently Worthless Rock Turned
Out to Be a Valuable
Find,

Five years ago desert rancher
named Jim Butler was prospecting in
southwestern Nevada, packing his out
fit along on the backs of six burros,
trudging among the mountains $50
miles from a railroad in a country
which an experienced miner would
have laughed at, says Outing.
II had none of the signs of gold bear
ing rock, and in his plumb ignorance"
Butler plodded along 40 miles from
water and one mile from HI" trust
ing to gold seekers luck, and not at
all confident of making a strike big
enough to keep him in tobacco money.
One night he camped on ronopah
spring and found some rock that
looked good to him. He broke off a
few chunks, loaded them on a burro
and took them home in the course of
time. In the town of Belmont, near
his ranch, his rock was greeted with
lisht-hearted incredulity, and he was
about to throw it away when a young
lawyer named eddie pricked up his
ears. and with the rashness of youth
offered to have the samples 5ssayed
Butler went back to his ranch in
Monitor valley and betook himself to
the more important business of har-
vesting his hay crop. He had forgot
ten all about his rock when Oddie sent
him word that the stuff assayed sew
eral hundred dollars a ton in gold and
silver.

YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM.
Good Looking Young Woman in
Restaurant Is Helped by Fair
Cashier.

An attractive and altogether "bon-

lical knowledge of the world to carve
out her fortune, after passing her girl
hood days in Edinburg and London.

the Philadelphia Record. she is some
times annoyed by the very evident
admiration she attracts in public
places.
The other day. while dining in a
restaurant, she fancied that the man
opposite was preparing to speak to
her, as he glanced her way, and
seemed to be making up his mind to
open a conversation. The young WON
an assumed a most frigid air and
looked as unapproachable as the arctic
pole.
The man as he left the table made
one more half-hearted attempt to
speak, blushed red to his ears. then
hurried away. When the young wom-
an finished her luncheon and called
for her check, the waitress amazed
he by eXclaiming: why. | thought

FOXHOUND PAYS OWN TAX
Faithful Canine Keeps After Reynard
and Lands Him at Every
Turn.

Josiah Edgerly, Of Atkinson, and his
foXhound had run down and caught
last winter 10 foxes, and still the hunt
er was not satisfied, says the Bangor
(Me.) News. He desired to round out
an even 20 for good luck. So he kept
on the track of a big fox for several
days, but could not get a shot 1t
was left for the dog to do the trick
alone and earn his own tax for the
year.
In his masters absence one day the
dog started out alone and was gone all
day. About nightfall the family heard
haying near by, and saying quite
plainly: Il have a fox cornered, and
should like a little assistance, if you
piease."

FISH HAWKS NEST ON BUOY
Channel Mark Selected by Pair of
the Birds Makes Snug
Home

OF all places that a bird would Sc
lect to make a nest the top of day
beacon, a channel mark, bobbing up
and down on the waves of the river,
seems to be the most remarkable, but
this is what a fish hawk has done in
enc of the buoys down river, says the
Was hington Star. The steamboat men
have noticed for several days past a
mass of twigs, straw, rags and other
ODDS and ends in the top of the beacon
marking the Metompking shoal, off
Riverside wharf, and a day or two
ago they saw a fishhawk light on the
buoy. Closer observation disclosed
that his mate was sitting on the nest
The buoy has a conical shaped top
with a depression in it and surround
ed by wirework forming a sort of
open cage. In the depression the nest
has been placed. and here the birds
will raise their family, free from mo-
lestation, for they are two or three
miles from the nearest land. The bird
home is near the base of food sup
plies.
The father bird has but to step out
to the door of his house, either front
or back, and, watching his water lawn
for moment or two, make dive and
come up with a supply of food for
his family. 1t looks as if it we're
pair of wise birds which selected

STEEL DOES NOT GET TIRED
That Is, If 1t Is Properly Made, Says
One Who Has Investi-
gated.

An interesting problem often dis
cussed is whether iron or steel becomes
changed in its properties by what is
termed fatigue. Most probably, accord
ing to r. A. Hadfield, it does not, if
tho material is, in the first or original
state, properly prepared, says London
Engineering.
Failures, so called of this kind are
generally owing to the steel possess
irg either internal flaws, which are
often only detected by an examination
OF its micro structure, or that it has
not been in the proper condition when
sent out to the user SO-calltd mys-
FERROUS failures are generally due to
improper heat treatment and are quite
apparent when adequately investigated.
A recent writer states that, after long
experience, he has found steel does
not change by fatigue-that is, under
ordinary working loads; 'once right,
always right" is his explanation.
This investigator took a large num-
Der of specimens that had been many
years in use, some having given salts
factory, some unsatisfactory, results,
and he detected no difference or break
down in the mechanical qualities.
Probably this conclusion is correct.
At Watertown arsenal the official
testing department of the American
government, interesting tests have
been made upon iron which had been
submitted to severe mechanical treat
ment % years ago-that is, it had been
stressed close up TO the elastic limit
and then laid on one side. No change
in quality could be detected. The char
acteristics of the earlier overstrained
condition produced by the loads ap-
piled so long before still remained.

What Father Does.

Mothers may talk, work. struggle to
make their sons models by which to
shape a new heaven and new earth.
But the boys world is in the man
who is his father, and the boy believes
that, whatever may be right on Sun
days or at prayer times, the things
that are really good, that really count
in life, are what father does,
says Harper's Bazaar. Moreover.
it is what father does which de-
fines the means with which the boy
shall work, the sphere wherein his eff
forts shall be shaped. In word.
what father does is the beginning as
it is the end of the boys achievements.
