Mercer came to Globe early in 1901, since which time he has been actively engaged in mining and has spent large sums in prospecting and developing the large number of valuable claims which he has acquired in this district. MT. Mercer is one of Globes good citizens, and bringing his family here to reside is the best proof of his faith in the future of the camp.

The postmaster peered at her as US
ual, and was about to reply, no" not
today" when he suddenly bethought
himself Eyes, do believe a letter
came this afternoon. Don't know who
It's from"
Miss Jane did not volunteer to en-
tighten him. Her trembling fingers
closed about the precious letter. she
tried to appear unconcerned, but tell
tale flush overspread her face. The
few standing about the office noticed it,
and craned their necks to get a look
at the handwriting, while Mrs. Oak
and Miss Priscilla who had just come
In showed especial interest
Miss Jane did not notice them. She
slipped the letter into her black bag
and quickly walked away. She knew
three more letters were in store for her,
and she would receive as many more
as she could write and mail at Overton.
Polkville tongues began to wag. The
unusual had happened. Miss Jane had
received a letter. All sorts of stories
were afloat as to whence the letters
came, but she wisely kept her own
counsel. Meanwhile, letters continued
to arrive daily, and the neighbors' curl
osity continued to wax stronger.
81 tried to hint round bout her~hav-
in so much mail" said disappointed
Mrs. Oak, who had Intellectually tried
to pump Miss Jane on several occa-
sions, "but she shut up as tight as a
steel trip, and l couldn't get a word
out of her."
But there came q day when it was
too rainy for Miss Jane to ride to Over
ton and post her letter. The fact trou-
bled her a great deal, for she had not
missed day since she began the prac-
tice. On this particular day she was
feeling rather blue, partly because in
rummaging in the attic she had come
across the old faded daguerreotype of
the man who loved her many years
ago. He was a sea captain who had
never returned from his last voyage.
"Lost at sea-" was the only explana-
ton she could give for his strange dis
appearance. She had. never believed 1t,
although everyone had tried to convince
her that that was the only reasonable
solution.
In the afternoon the weather cleared,
and with it Miss James spirits rose,
so much so in fact that she decided to
go down to the postoffice as usual. Lit
tie knots of people were gathered here
and there about the Office. A suppressed
excitement lowered about them. In
eager tones they were discussing some

thing Of unusual Importance. Among
the foremost were Miss Priscilla and
Mrs. Oak. What was the meaning of
all this?
At her approach the buzzing of
tongues ceased, and many turned to
look at her curiously. Unmindful that
she was the object Of their conversa-
ton, she walked reluctantly to the win
dow. The neighbors looked at her won
deringly, and marveled that she could
be so cool. Miss Jane knew that there
would be no letter for her that day.
and she felt a bit nervous about ask
ing for one. It was some time since
she had asked for letter and received
none.
Before she could speak, Alexander
Watson appeared at the window with
letter in his hand. Those near by
pressed close about her. She thought
it was for one of them and tried to
step aside.
mo, it's letter for you, Miss Jane"
she heard the familiar voice say. Don't
know who it's from, but it's got fur
rem postmark on it, and likely as not
it's from some furren count"
The postmaster chuclzled at his
bright remark, and glanced mischiev-
ously at Miss Priscilla, who Uttered
audibIy
In a dazed way Miss Jane took the
letter he passed to her under the graf
ing. The address on the envelope was
surely hers. There was no mistake as
to that. THANK you," she said briefly,
but firmly, trying to suppress the angry
emotions which surged up In her breast
Now, she understood the meaning of
the curious, excited throng They knew
Of the letter and had come to note her
behavior when she received 1t. Her
cheeks famed with indignation, but she
was glad she had not made a scene.
She had been as curious as any Of them
to know the contents of this mysterious
envelope, but she flattered herself that
she had not betrayed her desire.
With head held proudly erect she
sauntered forth, but she was all Of
f1utter until she reached the old house.
Not until she had locked herself into
her own room did she proceed to exam
Inc her treasure. She turned it over
and over again. She did not dare open
1t. 1t was surely a foreign postmark,
and the address was written in the big,
bold, handwriting of man. What
man was there who would write to
her, especially from foreign land? She
laughed outright at the absurdity Of

which is shown in the accompanying
Illustration. 1t is always desirable to
use a certain spoon for a certain medi-
cine only. Generally the spoon is tilted
against the bottle, where it eventually
falls over, staining the bureau or other
cover. Imagine how convenient a lit
tie holder like this would be. It is
formed of two pieces Of metal, oval in
shape, which are hinged together. When
placed around the spoon they clamp
together. Projecting from the under
side of the clamp is a small prong
which is forced into the cork in the
bottle. To use the spoon the clasp is
opened and the spoon released.

earth surrounding the shaft can be

the adjacent building sinking or tip

Nearly half q bushel of chestnuts
have been taken from a single den; and
the way this chipmunk piled in the
oats, half bushel measure would not
hold them.
Then came the pignuts, acOrns and
chestnuts. As long as the harvest last

cold came and softly closed their doors
they had no fears. Nor had 1. They
would need no more Of my oats.
But the gray squirrels had need.
They made little preparation, and long
before spring they came to me for corn.
Three of them lived in the barn large
part of the winter.

If you will hunt up big yellow BIRCH

The rabbit, fox, coon and 'possum are
on foot all winter. They have neither

call the superabundance Of autumnal
fat in which the 'possum rolls himself

That from Natural Springs Is Gener-

The purity of salt depends upon the
source from which it is obtained and
the sanitary conditions under which it
is prepared for the market. The sup

sable OF all the seasoning substances

is eXhaustless, yet even so there is salt
and salt
Formerly salt was obtained by evap-
Grating ocean water, a process that left
many impurities in the residuum, to
say nothing of its exposure to all kinds
of dirt in its shipment from seaports.
The Turks island or rock salt, which
is still largely used in pork packing
and in the manufacture Of ice creams,
comes to the United States in holds Of
vessels continually subjected to dirt
and foul odorS. Upon its arrival it is
again handled, then packed in coarse
burlap bags, permitting dust to sift into
the salt. In this condition it reaches
the consumer.
Latterly, however, the product Of
salt springs has largely taken the lead
in this country not only for table salt
but for meat packing. The annual pro-
duction from this source in the United
States reaches more than 100000
bushels, the State of New York in the
vicinity Of Syracuse furnishing a large
proportion Of this important supply
