CLAIM STARED BY CYCLONE
How Abe Tucker Got Some of the Best
 Government Land

Abe Tucker lived with his family and his stock on a Kansas farm, but he was not coatented. He wanted to enter the rush for government lands in the Rose. bud country in South Dakota, but he couldn't afford the trip, and, even sup posing his old horses could have reached a claim before everything was stakcd out, he couldn t see any way clear to get his family transported.
 We'll, the morning of the rush started and Abe hung over his pig sty gate, dis consulate, when of sudden he noticed that the tails of his pigs had all un- curled and stood out as straight as ram rods.
 He knew what that meant well enough-the pigs were getting ready to fly, the way Kansas pigs do in a cy- clone, and, looking up into the dark ened sky, sure enough, he could see q greenish, funnelshaped cloud come tear ing along out of the south, with great roar of winds and bearing straight down on them. Then, pop! the feathers all began dropping off the chickens and whirling about in the air.
 This is a good place to point out the scientific truth of the episode, for under the center of every cyclone cloud there is vacuum, and he feather stems, which are full of air, burst under the pressure. The same is true of houses, unless they are open for the air to es- cape.
 The next thing Abe knew he didn t know anything, but after while he came to himself to find his wife bending over him and all the family and cattle and pigs ranged around, with mae- strom of frying pans, cradles, threshing machines and other of their household goods strewn over the prairies.
 "We've squatted on the best claim in the buneh," joyously explained his wife. "You see, the cyclone dropped us here just in the nick of time.

Hoffman Not the Man

In the Saturday issue of the Miner, statement which had been made by the proprietors of the Palace stables concerning Adolph Hoffman, who is wanted for stealing horse from them, in which it was said that he was the survivor of the Grindell expedition, was printed. This was incorrect, Jack Hoff- man, the man who returned after bray ing the dangers of the desert and leav- ing his companions dead behind him, be- ing at present confined to one of 1 the local hospitals. Adolph Hoffman is not even a relative of Jack Hoffman, but no one knowing where Jack Hoffman was and the descriptions of the two men being similar, it was at first thought that it was Jack Hoffman and that statement was made to the newspapers.

 There are great many people who have slight attacks of indigestion and dyspepsia nearly all the time. Their food may satisfy the appetite, but it fails to nourish the body simply because the stomach is not in fit condition to do the work it is supposed to do. It can't digest the food you eat. The stomach should be given help. You ought to take samething that will do the work your stomach can't. do. Ko- dol for Indigestion and Dyspepsia, q combination of natural digestants and vegetable acids, digests the food itself and gives health and strength to the stomach. Pleasant to take.

A MoUTHPIECE OF BRASS

Several weeks ago an ailegeu news paper was started in Globe, which was purported to be the official organ of the wage workers of this district-at least, that was the argument used by its promoters in soliciting advertising from local merchants, who were told that several thousand "dinner pails" were behind the paper. Three regular issues of the paper have been produced and the dinner pails may still be behind the enterprise, but the men who carry them "got wise' early in the game, al though many of them were ''next" be- fore the paper started. In former times it was a pretty good graft for an un- scrupulous man who could splatter ink to exploit the wage worker for his own gain, but the time has passed when the labOring man can be fooled by columns of senseless rawlings, blackguardism and unrestricted use of billingsgate. The working man of today knows when he is being exploited and when man pats him on the back he squints around to see what the batter has in his other hand. Of course, "a man s man, as Bobby Burns wisely said, and, whether he be capitalist or wage earner, he is liable to be fooled, but after one or two ex- perienees, it takes pretty smooth grafter to take him in.
 Realizing that the cause for which they are striving was being used for the private gain of individuals, the extent of whose friendship for this same cause is measured in dollars and cents, and that it would suffer at the hands of it's self-appointed champions, the members of the Globe Miners union at recent meeting, by an almost unanimous vote, repudiated their wouldbe mouthpieee. The Silver Belt published the matter strictly as news, which publication was branded as Giving statements" by the alleged contemporary. The entire arti- ele with the exception of brief intro. duetion, was set in type from the orig inal minutes of Globe Union No 60, Western Federation of Miners. If there were any "lying statements" in the article published, the union will probab- ly take the responsibility.
 In it's almost thirty years of existence the Silver Belt has sought to build up Globe and its principal industry. There was never a time in it's history when the paper was owned by more than one man and the moral support of the own CT, like the editorial columns of the paper, were never for sale. It has never posed as the "friend of the downtrod- | den wage-worker, and is not now do- ing so, but at the same time has always bS'A ANHhN iNohg bO kiNt any man, rich or poor, square deal. It has in the past disagreed with and, for an expression of it's honest eonvic- tions, been boyeotted by the miners union, but we believe that the honesty of the paper has never been questioned, TOT has it ever forfeited its self-respect or the respect of even its enemies. It comedies the right of free thought, free speech and free press to any man or organization and although it may dis agree with the beliefs of many, it res Iects sincerity and honesty, just as it sees good in all things-even in the jackal, who makes the night hideous, and the poleeat, though he exudes an nauseous odor.

ENGLISH HUMOR.

Our Phlesmatic Cousins Sometimes Get Down
to the Pith Of humor.
In a paper on Humor in the Febru.
ruary Lippincotts's, Marvin Dana de-
tends our British Cousins as follows:
As to the English, they are not dull,
as we sometimes contend; they are
merely different. For the rest, the
English, or rather the British, wit and
humor are the most comprehensive
and the best in the world, next TO the
American. Indeed, in the colonies we
are apt to find the spirit which We
claim as essentially American in the
fun of everyday. A Canadian story
is told OF q raw Irish girl who went to
Q clergyman and asked to know what
fee he charged for marrying. She was
told, a dollar and a half. After an
interval of few weeks. she appeared
again, presented the specified sum, and
bsde the minister 60 ahead.
"Where is tho bridegroom" the
clergyman inquired.
What" cried Bridget, in amazed
indignation. "Don't you furnish the
man for dollar and hslff"
As rule, humor, rather than wit,
is the British characteristic. The fun
is found in absurd situations that have
10 suggestion of malice towards any
one. Dickens tells of two men who
we're about to be hanged, and who
were together on a scsfiold erected in
public place. All about them, be.
low, an immense concourse waited.
At this moment bull which was be-
ing taken to market ran amuck in the
crowd, and began goring persons right
and left. Bill, on the scaffold, turned
to his companion and said:
"I say, Jim. it's good thing we're
not in that crowd"
Another English joke is Of vege-
tartan who proposed to a woman,
whereupon she delivered herself of
the following scathing words: "Go
along with you! What? Be flesh of
your flesh, and you aliving on cab.
bage? Go and marry a grass widow" !"

About As Usual.


A short time ago a wealthy Chicago
lady took new and vivid interest in
foreign missions. The tribes in Cen.
trsl Africa suited her fancy best, and
soon she was actively engaged in "Sup.
porting" a missionary of long expert.
ence and great success in that field.
When a bundle of photographs from
the mission, some OF them representing
the missionary and his wife in Euro.
pean costume, arrived, she felt that a
little advice would be OF value. So
she wrote kindly letter, praising him
for his good work, but suggesting that
he might be able to get far nearer to
the natives through his wife, if she
would wear the native costume, rather
then the European dress.
In the course of few months she
received through the mail q package
containing a strip of grass cloth about
two inches wide and two and Q half
feet long, accompanied by the follow.
ing letter:
DEAR Mrs. N:
In reply to your much valued sugges-
ton, am sending you herewith full
dress costume worn by the native wo-
men here. My wife is willing to leave
the question OF changing to this dress
entirely to your judgment.
