OLD y GOLD MINES

Prof. R. D. George of the University
Of Colorado suggests that the ancient
Egyptians drew the larger part of their
gold from the old workings near Cop
tos, latitude 26 degrees north, and
from the mountains some distance to
the south. The mountains to the south
of Coptos are probably the mines for
which the kings of the twelfth dynasty
sacrificed the lives OF many thousand
men; for the rule of Egyptian kings
who wanted gold was to invade NuhIa
and take possession Of the mines, just
as when they wanted copper they
drove back the nomadic tribes of ST.
mai and built fortresses to protect their
miners. The Nubian gold workings of
which Prof. George speaks are placed
in an almost inaccessible mountain
group surrounded on all sides by a
waterless desert. Here may be seen
tunnels and shafts penetrating the
mountains to almost unknown depths.

The boy took the witness stand, and
testified that on the day of the theft
he and some other boys went to Cape
Elizabeth about / o'clock and did not
return until about 9 o'clock that night.
His testimony vas corroborated by
the other boys and by his father.
Mr.. Reed said he had made many
arguments in court, but believed he
had never beaten the one he made
then, for he believed in the innocence
of the boy, and put his whole soul into
it. The prosecuting officer made no
argument, and the Judge discharged
the boy, who at once left the room.
Mr.. Reed soon went out, and the
boy met him and said: you did well.

MANNER OF HOLDING CLASS

CURED more muscular effort, for the
muscles extending from all the fingers
would then be called into use. Where
IS if the person drinking holds the
glass between the thumb and the first
two fingers he not only relieves the
tension on the muscles of the two
other fingers, but also in a way he
pivots the glass and makes it easier
to tip on that account. Thus the sep
aration of the two fingers from the
glass is a perfectly natural act.
This philosopher comedies that the
act may be exaggerated; that fingers
thus extended might even be seen
raised and extended more than was
really comfortable for the better dis.
play of rings adjoining them, and he
comedies that sometimes when we see
our fingers thus raised as we lift our
glass, in clear view of all, we may
seek to crook the fingers in attitudes
of curves of greater grace and so he
comedies that in some cases the rails
ing of the fingers in lifting the glass
may show a~ffectation in some meas.
ure, but his point is that in it's original
inception and in the practice by the
many the elevation Of these two fin.
gers is not an affectation, but an act
quite unconscious and automatic.

A number of years ago the Hon.
Thomas B. Reed told one of his early
law cases.
A neighbours boy was arrested for
stealing a tray of gold watches, and in
court pleaded not guilty. The only
witness for the prosecution was the
jeweler who lost the watches. His
story was that on the afternoon on
which the watches were stolen he vas
fixing up his show window and had
removed from it the goods, the tray
of watches among them, to the our
ter near the door. While doing this
and busting out the window, he testi-
fed, the boy stood on the sidewalk
watching him through the window. AS
it was dusk, he went into a ear room
for a match, and when he came back
the boy and about a dozen gold
watches yer gone. He jumped
through the open door, but could see
no one on the street.

A social philosopher has discovered
that an act very commonly regarded as
an e%ffectation of gentility, as found in
the manLer of holding a drinking glass
when drinking from it, is not an af-
fectation at all, but really an uncon-
scious, automatic act.
This supposed a%ffectation consists in
extending the third and fourth fingers
of the hand clear Of the glass when it
is lifted and tipped forward with its
brim to the lips and while the glass
Is held there in the act of drinking.
No doubt it would commonly be con
sidered that people do this for the
sake of greater elegance, or at least
from an instructive desire to give to
the hand such an appearance, which it
would not possess if they closed the
entire hand around the glass-if they
clutched it, so to speak, a ann of
holding that would seem to SAVIOR of
rudeness.
But this observer says that really
people hold those two fingers clear Of
the glass in drinking because that is
the way that is most convenient. If,
he says, a person should grasp the
glass with the whole hand closed snug
ly around it he would find that the
act of tipping the glass SO held re-

with a lantern and asked what was
wanted. The colonel politely asked to
be directed to the straight road to
Barre.
At a glance the farmer discovered
who the caller was, having attended
the meeting, and said: "Ain't you
the young Teller that was making the
address at Hubbardston this even
ing?"
"Yes," said Col. Bryant, "and I have
lost my way"
WELL" said the farmer, I'm q Wing
and have found my way home, and.

colonel's face.
The colonel finally found his way
home, and related the incident to his
friends with great glee.

RIDING FOR INSOMNIA.
Outinga - the Trolley Cars to Make
People Sleep.

Outings g. the Trolley Cars to Make
People Sleep.
There is a great deal of sound
sense in persons suffering from insom-
mia taking rides on the trolley car to
make them sleep, as l know from con-
slant experience" said a conductor on
an Overlook night car to the Phila-
delphia Times. Men who ride occa-
sionally after midnight, and get on the
car quite clipper, after Eighth street,
are sound asleep before they reach the
Schuylkill River. 1t is only men who
are accustomed to work after midnight
that can keep awake for a long ride.
1t is a common thing for mt to see
twenty men In q late car, all asleep.
II / know where they want to go I
wake them up. but they don't always
tell me.
"The other night a man who lives
near Fifty-second and Jefferson streets
boarded a down car after midnight,
saying that he could not sleep, and he
thought a trolley ride would do him
good. He kept awake all right until
We got to the ferry, but on the up trip.
after 1 o'clock, he fell asleep with the
rest of the men in the car. I forgot
all about him when we reached his
street and carried him to Overlook.
Well, what's stranger, l forgot him
again on the down trip and he slept
all the way to the ferry. He made an
awful row. On the up trip he slept all
the way again, but it was daylight
when he got to Forty-second street.
The policeman on that corner was
waiting for the car. The mans wife
had been out to look for him."

AND THEN ScRIVNER THOVCHT

Scrivner Is a man of great energy
and dispatch, whose hours are so filled
with activities that he has formed a
habit Of quick and a sometimes inju-
dicious speed. Not for many years
has he had time to think twice before
speaking. and however generous his
impulses and correct his life, he does
now and then fume and splurge into
vexatious predicaments. It was just
in this fashion and meaning no harm
at all that he encountered a situation
last week that well nigh undid him for
a time.
Scrivner rushed into a telephone
booth at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and
gave the number of a friends tele-
phone up town. 1t was a matter of
business as well as friendship, and
Scrivner had only ten minues before
he must rush away to an appointment
in Forty-second street. The converse
ton at his end of the wire went like
this:
Hello, Bill. That you?" he said in
his loud and tumbling speech. That's
good. You see, I told you-Hello! Hell
10, Bill! That you, Bill? Somebody cut
in on us. l was saying that-Hello!
What the -? Who's this, anyhow?
No, I'm not Robert, and I don't want
you. Get off the wire, will you? Say,
operator!"
Scrivner opened the door of the
booth. leaned out and called to the
girl to take that fellow off his wire.
Then he went at it again, but found
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1906-03-22

the other man making as much fuss as
he was. For one brief, trying mo-
ment, Scrivner tried persuasion.
Say, old man." he said, I'm in an
awful rush. Won't you"
$50 am l." was the snappy reply.
Whose wire is thus, anyhow"
Its mine, you -. I tell you
it's mine. You've no right to-"
20, shut up that trap, and get out"
sang out the voice. "You talk too
much"
That was incendiary, and Scrivner
didn't think at all before he spoke.
'Ill give you a box Of cigars!" he
shouted, "a good box of cigars IL you'll
give me your name and address so I
car come around and smash your fool
facet"
"Sure!" zane the quick response, in
confident, almost eager tones. I'm
always glad to accommodate a gentle
a My names Kid Mccoy, and I
live at the Hotel Cumberland"
Silence fell in Scrivner's booth. He
dropped the receiver, leaned back In
his chair, and gasped for breath. He
sat a full minute there in a sort OF
trance, then opened the door and
walked out, dazed and perspiring. A
page overlook him at the door of the
writing room.
Thirty cents, please" said the boy.
Scrivner paid, and took to the street
to cool off. Up to yesterday Mr.. Nc.
Coy was still smoking his own cigars.

In the decade Of 1S4O-50 Col. w. A.
Bryant was a young attorney in Barre.
Mass, and also editor of the Barre

leading parties in the country then
being Wings and Democrats.
In the campaign Of the fall of 1841

about eight miles. In the course of

HAD HEART PAINS
A Critical Case Of rheumatism Cured
BY Dr.. Williams Pink Pills.

While Mr.. w. S. Geisel, OF No. 125
East Coates street, Moberly, Mo-, was
steadily working at his trade in a foun-
dry at that place, he became the victim
of All attack of rheumatism, and his ex-
compelled to work in similar surround
ings. He describes his situation as fol.
lows:
81 had been at work for a long time
in a foundry where l was exposed to
danpness. First my feet began to hurt
Gnd to swell, then my knees and my
shoulder joints began to be affected in
the same way. Finally L could not walk
without great difficulty and suffering
and had to stop work altogether. My
appetite was feeble and / grew very pale
and weak. / began to have pains about
my heart and it fluttered q great deal.
l became greatly alarmed about my con-
dition. My mother knew about the vir-
tues OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills, as they
had given her back her health when she
was nearly wasting to death, and when/
she found that they were good for rheu-
matlsm too, she began to give them TO
me about a month after l was attacked.
That was i'll the early part of March,
1903, and by June they had driven away
the pains and swelling and had restored
my appetite and color. Then l felt
strong enough to take up a line OF out
door work and now, in October, I re-
gard myself as entirely'well and I am
about to go into a foundry again at st.
Louis"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills also cure
other diseases s~pringing from inn
pure blood or disordered nerves, such
rs sciatica, locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis and all forms of weakness in
male or female. They may be had at
all druggists or directly from the DR..

Do You Want to Know
What You Swallow?

There Is a growing sentiment in this
country in favor Of MEDICINES OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION. 1t is but natural that one
should have some interest In the compo-
sltlon OF THAT which he or she is expected
to swallow, whether it be food, drink or
medicine.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part Of the public, and satisfied
that the fullest publicity can only add to
the well-earned reputation of his medi-
cines, DR.. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
has 'taken time by the forelock," as IL
were, and is publishing broadcast a list

This bold and out-spoken movement on
the part OF DR.. Pierce, has, by showing
exactly what his well-known Incidence
are composed Of, completely disarmed all
harping critics who have heretofore UNI
Justly attacked them. A little pamphlet
has been compiled, from the standard
medical authorities of all the several
schools OF practice, showing the strongest
endorsements by leading medical writer's
