He was Hoeelng the Dog.

Cumr- gs Martin of Rochester, VT,
had a serious impediment in his
speech, and had much difficulty in get
ting his vocal organs into a condition
to say anything without first going
through such facial contortions as to
cause amusement among the lockers
on. When boy he had dog that he
priced highly, and which, like Cum
mings, was always ready for fun.
This dog was his inseparable COM
panion about the farm.
Capt. Eb Martin, the father of Cum
mings, was thrifty farmer, who felt
a laudable pride in his fine horses,
cattle and hogs and other products of
his farm. One day he discovered
Cummings, the dog and a fine porker
in suspicious juxtaposition, amid furi-
Gus ceilings, barkings and squealings,
and the father roared out: Cum
mings! Cummings. Stop logging
that hog!" And Cummings yelled
back: 81 a-a-aiat d-d-dog- doggin'

SOME TALES OF GOLD HUNTERS
Extraction of Metal More Difficult
Than It's Finding.

!, The difficulty of the gold hunter
Fin Alaska is not so much the finding
of gold deposits, as in the extraction
of the gold when found, the chief OBJ
stacle being the perpetually frozen
ground encountered by the placer
miner says the Philadelphia Record.
According to the report issued by
the United States geological survey,
1t is common practice to use steam
to thaw out the frozen ground in drift
work.
This is accomplished by means of
hollow steel points" from five to ten
feet long, which are set up on the
ground and steam or hot water turned
on. These points are gradually driv-
en- into the soil a distance of four or
five feet, in some cases more, and are
usually operated in batteries on
about three-foot centers.
During the night shift, men are en-
gagged in thawing sufficient gravel for
the men to work during the day. The
points are driven in with a mallet, as
the soil is gradually thawed and are
left in the bank from ten to fourteen
hours. Each point thaws a block
about thirty-six inches in diameter,
that is about eighteen inches on all
sides. 1t requires little more than one
boiler horse power to supply steam
for single point. Wood is used ex-
clusively for fuel, twithstanding it
costs $12 a cord.

Equally an Indication.

The young woman at the church
social had declared her ability to read
the characters of persons by examin-
ing lead pencils they had sharpened.
To put this claim to the test the
young men went into another room
and sent out their pencils, one at a
time, for her inspection.
She had made a number of surpris-
ingly successful guesses, when one
lead pencil was brought to her that
had been neatly pointed in pencil

Worn-Out Billiard Balls.

In the billiard room a dozen tables
were in full blast, and through the
hum of conversation the click of the
ivory balls came sharp and clear.
What becomes of your worn-out
balls?" said an idler
"Well," the man at the desk replied,
when a ball is only little off, it is
sent to the factory to be trued up. We
get balls trued up until they become
too small for use. Then we sell them
at so much per ounce.
after their sale they are carved
into various small trinkets, but in the
main they are made into dice. OF the
forty or fifty balls rolling and clicking
busily here this evening, it is safe to
say that 80 per cent of them a few
years hence will be working just as
hard in the form of dice"

Rest for the Worker.

The incessant throbbing of human
heart for lifetime is a matter of
wonder. The heart rests between each
throb. To be sure, the rest only lasts
for a fraction of second. But it
does really come to a standstill," just
as the piston of the locomotive of
the Empire Express" comes to a
dead stand at the end of each stroke
On the principle that sixty seconds
make minute, ETC., it will be seen
that the heart may get rest. 1t is
claimed that the brain learns to imi-
tate the heart, and that a section OF
the brain of busy intellectual man
will sleep while the other parts of the
brain work. BY changing off" some
rest is secured by the most laborious
toiler. This renders insomnia less
dangerous.

BELEN CUTOFF READY JANU-

The Bclcn cui on, n new piece of track 2G9 miles long, connecting Tcxico and Rio Puorco stations on the Santa Fc. is about ready for business the cn- tire distance. Al present, it is operated from TcXico west to Sunnysidc. and from Bclcn eastward to Vaughn. |, is expected that complete local train ser vice, including the United States mails. will bc installed by January 1 the de- tails of passenger and freight traffic over the cutoff are now being worked out.
 lt is not likely thnt any important changes will he made in through santa Fe freight or passenger trains between Chicago and California until next sum mer or fall. although ultimately some of them no doubt will be run the new way. Several months work are re. quired for placing heavier rails and stronger bridges on the Panhandle di. vision, west of Wellington.
 This route is cutoff in more ways than one. II cuts of lll7 feet altitude as compared with the old line over Raton and Glorieta passes. It cuts off two mountain ranges, on which 22s miles of az per cent grades abound and substitutes one mountain range with only twenty-five miles of lh per cent grades. It cuts off twelve miles of travel. lt will cut oif several hours time for passenger trains and about . days time for freight trains. It will cut down operating expenses.
 This K the line noted for being bal. lasted with rock which contains large percentage of gold.
 The new country opened up west of Texico has already attracted a large number of settlers.
 If ii were merely io save n few milc, of travel, the Ielcn cut off would not have been built. II K justified only he. cause of the heavier loads that can be pulled and the quicker time that can be made. Modern railroading seeks easy grades and direct routcs.
