WITH tn is issue the MINER be-
gins the thirteenth year of its
existence. Twelve years have
rolled by since it first made it's
bow to the citizens of Ely, twelve
years fraught with many pleasures
and also some sore spots. The
pleasures will always remain while
the sore spots will probably heal
over in time. We were reminded
this week by a gentleman with
Socialistic tendencies, that when
we came here, we had not rag to
our back. We can further supple
ment the gentleman by stating
that now we are all rags and our
accumulation consists of twelve
valuable years of experience, fair
sized family and our printing Office.
All valuable assets in a country
like this.
For the past favors shown us we
thank our many patrons and hope
to merit their patronage and re-
speCt in the future. We have no
promises to make for the future
more than we will do our best to
give the people of Ely a good
newspaper consistent with the well
fare of the city. Our aim will be
to give the news insofar as it does
not border on the gossipy sort and
scandals will not find room in our
columns unless our readers abso-
lutely demand such stuff. It is our
opinion that censure for the aver
age newspaper man would not be
so strong for his lack of news if
those censuring would stop to think
that what is published is discrim-
inatingly weeded from stuff that
should not appear and for which
the average citizen should be
thankful. The politics of the MINER
will continue to be Republican.

"GoNE TO THE DEVIL"
London Inn Responsible for Origin Of
Common Saying.

The old inns of England have been
responsible for the origin of many
common sayings. An instance of this
is the proverbial phrase "He has
gone to the devil" On Fleet street,
London, near Temple Bar, was once a
tavern which was known by the strict
ly old-fashioned name, "The Devil and
Saint Dunstan." 1t was famous for it's
good dinners and excellent wines, and
received a large patronage from the
lawyers of Temple Bar.
1t was Familiarity known as "The
Devil" and when lawyer left his
office to go there he usually left no.
tice on his door, Gone to the Devil"
There were some who patronized the
tavern to the neglect Of their business,
and the notice was so regularly exhib-
tied on their doors that it finally came
to be used to characterize the man
who was losing his grip and going to
destruction.-The Sunday Magazine.

WHY HE WANTED LAW.
Man Had to Be Forced Into Paths Of
righteousness.

Congressman James E. Watson of
the Sixth Indiana district told story
while in town recently, anent the op-
Grafton Of the pure food law, and in
tended to illustrate his expressed
theory that more people would be
good if they had to be.
ct was while we were wrestling
with the pure food bill at Washing
ton," he said, that I got letter from
home, written by man from whom /
bought a big quantity of maple strip
each year. He urged me to fight for
the pure food bill. Now, couldn't
help remembering, to save my life,
that this man bought five barrels of
brown sugar at the opening of the
maple molasses season. So I wrote
him a note suggesting that advocacy
of a pure food measure seemed odd
from a man who bought five barrels
of brown sugar before beginning the
manufacture of his pure maple strip.
Never feazed him. He turned my
letter over and wrote on the back: I
know it, but / want the law to make
me do right indianapolis News.

FOUND OUT.
A Trained Nurse Made Discovery

No one is in better position to know
the value of food and drink than a
trained nurse.
Speaking of coffee, nurse of Wilkes
Barre, Pa, writes: Il used to drink
strong coffee myself, and suffered
greatly from headaches and indiges-
ton. While on visit to my brothers
1 had a good chance to try Postum
Food Coffee, for they, drank it alto
gether in place of ordinary coffee. In
two weeks after using Postum l found
I was much benefited and finally my
headaches disappeared and also the
indigestion.
Naturally have since used Postum
among my patients, and have noticed
a marked benefit where coffee has been
left off and Postum used.
81 observed a curious fact about
Postum when used among mothers. 1t
greatly helps the flow of milk in cases
where coffee is inclined to dry it up,
and where tea causes nervousness.
81 find trouble in getting servants to
make Postum properly. They most
always serve it before it has been
boiled long enough. 1t should be boiled
Is to 20 minutes after boiling begins
and served with cream, when it is GER

upon prospective buyers and their pur-
chases.
The prayers done, the men break up
and hurry over to the slave pens-lit-
tie palm matched huts of mud. I fol-
lowed and found in one of the largest
ten or IL women and girls and small
children. Some of the girls had pulled
their wooden halks over their faces,
and seemed anxious about their fate.
Others were careless and smiling; the
little boys and girls were playing
games on the floor.
The head autioneer allotted so many
slaves to each of his men, and the sale
began. Each dial led forth two at a
time. noticed each had been special
ly dressed for the occasion. The
younger women were radiant in GRIM
son silks and jingling bangles and
anklets of massive silver. This finery
had been borrowed for the sale. Apart
from negroes of both sexes, was as
tonished to see white" women, young
girls and children; by white" is
meant the Moorish and Arab race,
some of whom are as fair as or even
fairer than a southern European, with
light hair and blue eyes.
Prices rule from $40 to $50 Of our
money up to $4,000. I saw this sum
bid for a really beautiful girl of II,
with a headdress of coral and pearl
and silver. She was robed in bright
orange silk and had slippers of green
morocco embroidered with gold and
silver thread. She was bought by the
powerful Caid El-Gundaf, whose khali-
ia, or lieutenant governor, was bidding
for him.
Whence come all the hapless
creatures sold every year literally like
cattle in this way. They have been
raided from defenseless villages as far
south as the Niger itself-a region per-
haps seven months distant from the
Sok-el-Abid of Marrakesh. For hun
dreds Of years these Arabs have been
slave raiders, and the penalty Of six
months convict labor and large fine
in kind does not appear to be a suf-
ficient deterrent, for the profits are
enormous and the raiding Arabs are
never so happy as when they are fight
ing.
The smaller fry of raiders merely
entice and kidnap children, while big
ger men with influence journey down
into Haussalan and stir up dissension
among tribes. The object of this is
that in the ensuing fight village may
be the more easily raided. The slaves
on their way north are viewed with
far less consideration than cattle, for
should many die from hunger, thirst
or ill treatment other raids may be
made on the journey. 1t is only when
the caravan approaches the Atlas
SHOWS that some attention is given to
the slaves, of whom it may be truly
said that only the fittest survive and
the rest leave their bones by the way
with those of the fallen camel or mule.

Mr.. JOHNSON NOT TO BLAME.
Good Old Lady Understood How the
Mistake Occurred.

There is a good old lady who cannot
resist speaking well of all her &C.
Quaintances.
On Thanksgiving day she told the
colored man who did chores about the
place that he might go into the barn
yard and help himself to chicken.
The man obeyed with alacrity and was
most profuse in his thanks.
In the course of a few days the
lady's husband informed her that on
Thanksgiving day neighbors had seen
Mr.. Johnson seize two choice hens
from the coop.
II did tell him to take one," con-
fessed the lady regretfully, 'but, you
know, dear, how intensely Mr.. John
son celebrates the holidays Why, he
simply cannot help seeing things dou-

Good News for the Campers.

For mosquito and black fly bites
there is nothing so good as poultices
made of tea leaves. Put the stepped
tea leaves between two thicknesses of
cheesecloth and run together; then
apply to the affected parts. When
they become dry, moisten with tea.
This is a good remedy for fishermen
and campers to keep in mind. Some
thing that will positively prevent the
bites is oil Of citronella, which can be
obtained from any good druggist. Ap-
ply to the hands and face, and 1t is
well to carry a small bottle Of 1t in
the vest pocket while on a fishing
trip. Cheesecloth or mosquito netting,
colored yellow, will keep the insects
away from the camp; there is some
odor about the coloring which they dis.
