The Voice Admired.

The voice that is heard without
raising the natural speaking tones is
the well-modulated voice which inn
presses one with it's calm and its sim
certify.
Train the ear to recognize pleasant
sounding, agreeable voices and listen
to your own critically.
A shrill, parrot-like voice makes the
most beautiful woman trying COM
panion.
Just as the touch of a woman's hand
should be a warm caress, so should
her voice fall upon the ear with pleas
antness.
A course of instruction in vocal cul-
ture will create a decided change
many times, but vast improvement
may be found in deep breathing and
careful attention.
Fast talking and loud talking ruin
the voice
1t is the well-poised woman who re-
ceives the admiration and respect.

Feasters Declare They Must
Control Labor and Get
Pay While In Jail.
COVERS FOR FIFTEEN
"Justice and Not Charity
Is What These Hoboes
Want"

New York, Sept. 25.-Half doz-
en- of the destinies of nations, to say
nothing of some burning questions
of the day, were settled last Monday
night at the first annual banquet Of
the New York local of the Brother
hood of Hoboes, held at the Man
haitian Lyceum, No, 65 East Fourth
street.
Covers were laid for fifteen and
James How, hobo with Vandyke
beard, was POSTMASTER. After the
feast, which consisted Of bread ap-
pies and bananas, bad been eaten,
How made few well chosen re-
marks.
He said he did not know where
he was going, but was on his way.
Out West, he said looked good to
him, if he were not run in" first he
intended to go there. Then he in
troduced "the speaker Of the eve
ming" Brother McNutt.
Mr.. McNutt boosted Of good
gray suit, a clean collar and necktie,
but he wore the regulation hobo cap
He said he just came out of the
West, a land, he said, where the peo-
pie have too much to eat instead of
"too little, as in New York. +"
He said that a great change for the
better had taken place in the West
during the last ten years. By the
application of brains the farmers of
the West, said Mr.. McNutt, had in
creased the product of the earth 100
per cent. and that ten years ago
where it took fifteen months to get
a hog in trim for market, it now re-
Quired but seven months He also
said that the East was now borrow
ing money from the West.
Mr.. How again taking the floor,
said chat if the 'boes were properly
organized they could control the la
Dor markets of the world.
Mr.. How also recommended an
amendment to the laws of the state
of New York so that a hobo who
was imprisoned for vagrancy should
receive from the state the sum of
fifty cents day. This he explained,
would help to put the prisoner on
his feet land give him more
nerve" when he got out of Jail. He
also said that the strikes in the in
dustrial world were lost because the
hoboes took the places of the strikers.
For organized charity he had no use,
saying that $75 was spent in the char
liable use of $25. Justice and not
charity" he said, is what the hobo
wants. He has a right to travel and
a right to employment.

sHE BEAT Her REscUER.
saved Her Life but Spoiled Her
Marketing.

II happened in Harlem, says the
New York Press. An old woman car
rying basket OF groceries started
across the street just as a trolley car
came along at a clip that would have
made a stop within ten cars lengths
apparently an impossibility. The old
woman possibly was deaf for she
walked to the center of the tracks,
and the motorman evidently hadn't
thought she would do 1t, for he made
no effort to check his car until the
old woman stopped knowledge of
her position suddenly burst upon her
but she couldn't move, and the car
was 80 close by this time that her
death appeared inevitable.
Whether he had a more powerful
brake than ordinary or such superhu-
man strength that he was able to &C
complish what didn't seem possible,
but at any rate the motorman brought
his car to a sudden stop within foot
of the old woman So sudden was
1t that passengers were jerked from
their seats and the brake handle was
so far out, and the motorman, with
both hands on it, had leaned so far
forward that he was tumbled over the
dashboard and fell on the woman he
had saved.
The old woman was Knocked to her
hands and knees, but not injured by
the motormans fall, and the motor
man, too, escaped even bruise, but
crushed the basket of groceries be-
meath his weight. The old woman
saw this first, her precious eggs, meat
and vegetables ruined in the dirt, and
scrambling to her feet, she made VIC
ently for the man who had saved
her life but destroyed the family
fodder Ratified and dazed he ducked
her clawing fingers, and ran twice
around the car with her in wild pur-
suit before a man on the street
stopped laughing long enough to seize
the belligerent old lady and enable
the motorman to jump on the plat
form, turn on the power and escape
the fury.
81 guess she wouldn't have been
so fighting mad if I'd killed her." was
the way the motorman described it in
speaking of the reward she had given
him for saving her from death.

Pneumatic Tube Story.

An aged colored man who had bust
ness in the Baltimore News office
ambled into the editorial rooms-yes,
ambled is the word. He sat for sew
eral minutes gazing at the pneumatic
tube stations set up like horns of an
orchestrion at the desks of the city
and telegraph editors. There was q
buzzing sound as a copy boy pulled a
lever, and the old man smiled, as If
expecting something pleasant, then
took on a look of disappointment. A
few minutes later the boy sent another
piece of copy whirling upstairs, and
again the visitors expression passed
from anticipation to disappointment,
then bewilderment Finally he &C
costed the telegraph editor;
Scuse me, sub, but mout / ak yo'

Certainly he might and was enlight-
ened

When the Heart Is Touched.

1t is an exquisite and beautiful thing
In our nature that when the heart is
touched and softened by some tran
quill happiness or affectlonate feeling
the memory of the dead comes over 1t
most powerfully and irresistibly. Il
would seem as though our better
thoughts and sympathies were charms,
In virtue of which the soul is enabled to
hold some vague and mysterious in
tercourse with the spirits of those
whom we dearly loved in hfe.-Dick-
ems.

speechIess, But Graphic.

A knowledge of the art of drawing
is sometimes very useful. A we'll
known London caricaturist had done
himself very well at dance and was
being put into cab by some friends,
none of whom knew where he lived,
and he himself was more or less
speechless. At last, however. he man
aged to extricate a pencil and sheet
of paper from his pocket and drew
sketch of a well-known church steepls
in Langham place. They all recog.
nized it, and, with shrieks of laughter,
handed 1t to the cabman. who re-
marked: "All right, knows it,
Langham street." and drove off.

F. HIGGINSON'S
NEW PURCHASE

Near to death from thirst and exhaus-
ton. Frank Higginson and G. C. Braezel
staggered up to the railroad track near
Johnnie several days ago and tagged a
train which brought them back to Gold
field.
They had been inspecting the Groom
mine, which was recently purchased by
c.. b. Higginson of this camp. The
property lies one mile from Disappoint-
ment Springs in the western portion of
Lincoln county This property was
worked twenty or thirty years ago, but
the ore could not be shipped at a profit,
as it was a 200-mile haul to Logan,
Utah, the nearest railroad point to be
reached by wag road.
The Higginson purchase consists of
four patented and sixteen located
claims. This property is presumed to be
one of the richest and largest lead
deposits in the world. At one point the
vein has been crosscut for one hundred
feet and the average assays range be-
tween eight and one hundred ounces of
silver and from forty-ive to seventy
five per cent lead. The is no quartz
SdnSue, lot formation DelnB Il lime
capped fissure in shale. There are other
lodges on the property in addition to this
mammoth one. The ore is a mixture
of iron and lead carbonate and steel
galena.
A force of men have already been
put to work on the property and the
number of miners will be increased with
in a few days. 1t is only a forty-mile
haul from the property to Indian
Springs station on the Las Vegas and
Tonopah railroad and the development
of the property promises to justify the
construction Of a branch line.
Mr.. Higsinson and Mr.. Braezel were
expecting a wagon to arrive and convey
them to the railroad. but it did not come
at the time expected and they set out
afoot. not knowing the country. They
had little water with them and became
lost. walking thirty hours before reach
ing the railroad.

OF THE
LEE DISTRICT
(From our own Representative

(From our own Representative
Rhyolite, New, March 19.-"There has
been a great deal written about the
Lee district by men who know little or
nothing about it," said B. F. Taylor
recently, and the facts of the discovery
of the district are these.
TN early January 1905, Chef Leavitt
and his partner Maroony Hicks came
over from California and made the first
location in what is now the Echo dis
trict.
"They staked but one claim, the Stray
Horse, and on which the Inyo camp is
now placed.
Hicks and Leavitt did not remain
long, returning to the proven fields.
In March, of the same year the part
ners returned to the unknown land.
About the same time Bradshaw and
Paymell came into the country from
the west. All four men camped to-
gether off Cow Creek in early March.
On all sides of the country was yet un-
known. Mineral had been found to a
certain extent in Lee, but on the other
side of the divide no strikes had been
made. For a few lays the prospectors
hung about Cow Creek, then they sepa-
rated.
bradshaw and Paymell headed east
and wound up at the Keene Wonder,
then but a good piece of side hill.
Hicks and Leavitt came on to their

Then commenced the long struggle
of the poor prospectors to make gold
mines. Efforts were later centered on
the Upper Ten shaft of the Inyo to make

ton remained unchanged. The owners
were unwilling to have their property
incorporated. After a time the Inyo
company was formed. Utah capitalists
took hold and the property of Hicks
and Leavitt became the property of the
Inyo Gold Mining company, with a capt.
tai stock of 1000. 900 shares and a par
value of 81.

were developed. including the Gilt Edge,
the Echo Lee. the Lee Gold Grotto and
the Burro. The Suffer-. the Rosario and
others have been sold outright. but

Capital and p~rospectors have been
attracted and Echo Lee has taken her
place in the mining camps Of Nevada
