three guests at the Valley ranch and
they were comfortable and satisfied.
En- route they visited mining claims
owned by F. Miluchet and Jack Jones
near the Upper Pecos. These claims
are situated about five miles from the
Pecos in the Macho Canon. The Mil
luchet claims have been worked for
many years. There are strong indica.
tions of extensive copper and gold de-
posits. The Jones claims. eight in
number, may be sold at an early date

ANOTHER BONANZA
in JOPLIN DISTRICT
Rich Strike Made on Abandoned Min
ing Claim in Southwest
Missouri.

Joplin, Mo-, Aug. 19.-Three years
ago a company of Webb City capital
lists owned mine southeast of that
place and spent in round numbers
$4,000 in development work. They
found just enough ore to encourage
them in spending their money, but
after spending the vast sum without
getting any returns, the mine was
abandoned. A few days ago DR.. f,
l.. Anderson and others of Joplin OBJ
tained lease on the property and
began drilling in the bottom of the
old abandoned shaft.
After the drill had gone only two
feet it struck body Of zinc ore that
was found to be sixteen feet in thick
ness. The ore is very rich and prom
ises to make fortunes for the owners.
The mine is located close to the car
line and the delegates to the American
Mining Congress, which meets here
in November, will be taken to The
on sightseeing trip.

The Chatty English.

Every Englishman likes to be alone
and have things to himself If he can
not choose his company. he would rath-
er have none. Englishlnen are proud
of the national idiosyncrasy, yet here
comes one who, knowing all this, pays
1t no Difference. but sets the national
tradition at defiance and forces his in
trusive presence on you. Why does
this denationalized Englishman, when
he may be as solitary as you wish to
be yourself. not act as every true Eng
lishman ought and go into the next
carriage or take seat at the other
side of the room as far away as he
can get from you? BY all acknowl-
edged laws Of English intercourse he
ought as much to dislike being near
you as you dislike to be near him.

Deaf Docs Are Rara.

People have been known to excuse
watch dogs for dereliction of duty on
the ground that the dogs might be
hard of hearing. This excuse ought
not to go. a veterinary surgeon Of
Cleveland remarked that in his thir-
ty-five years experience he had never
heard of deaf dog. His remark led
to inquiries among two or three other
veterinaries and not one had ever
heard of a dog that couldn't hear.
When watch dog or any other dog
doesn't hear man that is providing
about the house it is because it doesn't
want to hear Horses are frequently
treated by veterinaries for deafness,
and even cats are hard Of hearing &C.
casionally, but deaf dogs seem to be
unknown in Cleveland at least.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

CLEOPATRA.
The Story Of Her Death From the Bite
of an Asp.

The Story Of Her Death From the Bite
of an Asp.
1t is admitted that Cleopatra killed
herself to avoid being exhibited at
Rome in the triumph Of Octavius, who
had made war upon her and Antony be-
cause the latter had divorced his (Oc-
tavius) sister on the queens account.
But did she die from snakes bite?
1t Is better to think not. IF her death
had been caused by any serpent, the
small viper would rather have been
chosen than the large asp, but the
story is disproved by her having deck
ed herself In the royal ornaments and
being found dead without any marks
or suspicion Of poison on her body"
Death from a serpent's bite could not
have been mistaken. and her vanity
would not have allowed her to choose
one which would have disfgured her
in SO frightful manner.
Other poisons We're we'll understood
and easy of access, and no boy would
have ventured to carry an asp in a
basket of figs, some Of which he even
offered to the guards as he passed, and
even Plutarch shows that the story of
the asp was doubtful. Nor is the statue
carried in Augustus triumph. which
had an asp upon it, any proof of his
belief In it. since the snake was the
emblem Of Egyptian royalty. The
statue Tor the CROWN Of Cleopatra
could not have been without one, and
this was probably the origin Of the
whole story. ~.,,:,. ...4........

BIRD sUPERsTITIoNs.
Queer Beliefs That Were Held by the
Ancient Marinera.

VbVosVUS W0VuuOVOs
Birds as inhabitants Of the air were
naturally chosen by the ancients as
oracles and augurs Of future happen
ings. The sensitiveness to atmospher-
ic changes shown by many birds aided
H. establishing these notions. The real
indications often furnished by sea
birds of coming storm or calm were
doubtless magnified by the anxious. su-
perstitious sailor
The custom Of hanging the sea swal-
low so that the bill may point to the
wind arose from the old time custom
Of suspending the bird by the feet. ex-
pecting it would renew its feathers as
II alive.
Divination by the flight of birds was
favorite method in the olden times
Sailors watched their flight for indica-
tons OF prosperous voyages and favor
ing winds. AS they were thought to
fly through the air to heaven, they
easily became messengers Of the will
Of the gods.
The albatross is believed by Jack tar
to sleep on the winds. 1t was at one
time thought that the petrol Matched
its eggs under its wings.
The kingfisher was at one time kept
in chests to keep away moths.
The fishhawk was esteemed bring
er Of good luck: 1t BODIED good or evil
as its cry was to the right or left.

Efficacy Of a Fire Hose or Stout

where there are children in a mob
cop does not want to nail one of
the little ones on the head with a
night stick. A crack of the whip
would be less cruel and quite as
effective. 1t is usually the sharp
crack of the lash that does the trick, as
much so as the sting. In Russia the
clout is used with more deadly effect
than the rawhide or blacksnake whip
could ever be used. OF course there is
danger of putting out the eyes of some
one with the cracker of the>whip, but
then, too, there is danger Of breaking
some heads when the night stick is ap-
piled.

The Mohammedan Oath,

OF all the many forms of taking the
oath used in the courts perhaps the
most picturesque is that which the Mo-
hammedan is required to take. 1t is a
silent ceremony. The son of Islam
places his right hand fat upon the
Koran and puts the other on his fore
head; then he brings his forehead down
to and in contact with the book. He
then raises himself and looks up stead
tasty for some seconds. The officer of
the court should then-though he some
times forgets this-ask the Mohammed-
an, "Are you bound by the ceremony
you have performed to speak the
truth?' and the answer is, II am" In
India the ceremony has been abolish
ed in favor of an affirmation.
