EXCHANGE TO

The Rocky Mountain News of Denver
is advocating the calling of Nevada
shares upon the local exchange of that
city, and in support of it's position had
the following to say in a recent issue:
Now that San Francisco is largely
hampered for regular business, but
more especially in those lines which are
not ankle as necessities, 1T would pc
good business for the Denver stock ex-
change to adopt the San Francisco rules
as to title, development, etc, and place
the popular Nevada shares on its call
list.
This would take attention away from
the 'neighborhood' and other fake Ne
vada shares, which are peddled in this
city, depending upon the ignorance of
the purchaser and the reputation of the
camp for their current valu
Nevada shares will lose in quotation,
temporarily at least, by reason of the
San Francisco disaster, as that city was

Hence they can be started here at
ground-fioor prices.
Opportunity knocks once at each
mans door. Now is the chance for the
Denver exchange to show its calibre

CRAZE IN BOSTON
FOE MINING STOCK

A special from Boston to the Denver
Post says: A craze has developed in
Boston and throughout New England
for gold mining investments, the like
of which has not been seen for years.
Coppers and the copper share market
are being neglected for Investments and
speculation in stocks of the Tonopah,
Goldfeld, Bullfrog and Manhattan dis
~tricts, and Cripple Creek and Colorado
Springs stocks. 1t is estimated that
well over $3.50. 900. 900 of eastern money
is tied up in several hundred of these
gold mining companies. In Boston a
number of people own from 10000 to
so. 600 shares each of Nevada stocks.
which cost them all the way from 10
cents to 50 per share and are now show
ing in a majority of cases p profits
of 100 to 500 per cent and in some in
stances even more. In New York, Phil
adelphia. Pittsburg and other large CEN
trail cities and Chicago and the middle
west even, millions of shares of these
stocks have been fioated. all now selling
above their original figures. Some of
the s~hrewdest mining people in the west
are buying claims in these gold camps.

The HIies of Beasts of Prey.

The panther on the plains Of Pata-
gonia gets as near q herd Of guanacos
as It can, then lies down behind bush
on It's back. 1t puts one paw up in the
air. then another, then the third and
fourth and after bit all four at once.
That seems curious to the guanacos,
and they come close to investigate. Up
jumps the panther and lights on the
nearest ones back and breaks Its neck.
4 fox up In Nova Scotia comes down
to the bay Of Fundy and goes jumping
along the beach a couple Of rods and
back again, rising on Its hind legs at
each about face and waving It's big
tail In the air. The little 6ock OF four
or five Canada geese out on the water
begin to wonder what can be the mat
ter with the fox. They swim up into
the shallow water to investigate, when
in dashes the fox and grabs one by
the neck. The men have taken advan-
tage Of this trick and have trained dogs
to do as the fox does. For lack Of a
dog men themselves have ambled about
on their hands and knees to attract the

Sugar has been known since the dawn
Of history, but not In all countries. The
Chinese appear to have delighted their
palates with sugar for more than 5000
years. and It was known In India ear

a Juicy reed or cane. One Of Alexan-
der the Greats generals carried sugar
to Greece in the year 325 B. c., as Sir
Walter Raleigh some 1000 years later
carried tobacco from Virginia to Eng
land. But even so late as 100 A. d.
sugar was still rarity in Greece. The
famous physician Galen used 1t as
remedy for certain maladies. Recent
experiments show that sugar has re-
markable sustaining power when eaten
by those undergoing great fatigue. The

Our forefathcrs were so fond OF the
whip that they seem to have regarded
it as cure for lunacy and even for
smallpox. The accounts OF Hunting

the entry, "Pd. In charges taking up
distracted woman. watching her and
whipping her next day. Ss. 3d." and
few years later eightpence is paid for
whipping two people vt had the small

fancy name for the parish beadle. He
thoroughly earned the title In the days
Of his greatness. The name outlasted
the whip and the brutal performance

The Word Crow"

"Row" is one Of the many words
which are rising TO respectability with
advancing age. Todd'S edition Of John
sons dictionary QS20 denounced IT as
"a very low expression" Since 1t ap-
pears to have been occasionally written
"roue" about n century ago some have
wished to find its origin in the French
"roue." Todd Identifies It with the
older rouse" drunken. bout big
drinking glass or big drink. In which
sense that word several times occurs In
Shakespeare. Hamlet observes that
"the king doth wake tonight and takes
his rouse" Row" IS supposed TO be a
false singular formed from rouse, y
mistaken for n plural. as "poa' for
"pease." sherry" from "sherris,
cherry" from "cheris." But it seems
simpler TO explain ''row" as short for
"row-de-dow," an excellent word fol-

when the inGiction becomes too severe
they know how to get rid Of the in

morant is a yard long and very strong
