There Is some ground for the belief
that MIR. Lawson and the Standard Oil
interests have had some sort of a
reconciliation, and that he has been
employed to engineer bull movement
in Amalgamated Copper. The Standard
Oil crowd have always admitted that
Mr.. Lawson is one OF the most bril-

these interests had finally capitulated

result, his colleagues are extending
their hearty congratulations on the eX-

On exhibition in the files of the civil
service commission is letter just re-
ceived from q New Yorker who recent
ly took an examination for u govern
ment position and who failed to pass.
The circular letter of commiseration
that accompanied the report showing
his sorry rating evidently impressed
the recipient with the idea that the
commissioners were worrying over his
lack of luck. In a somewhat lengthy
note in reply he urged the commits
sioners not to be down-hearted, but to
look on the bright side of things. In
closing he said:
BE perennial optimist. Who
knows, even civil service commits
sioner may be ambassador extraordin-
airy and even minister plenipotentiary

ed up, rare, with hair-oil sauce, for the

The civil service commission has
filed the good advice in it's curio cup
board.
The disastrous results accompanying
the floods in the Ohio valley have caus-
ed genuine concern here in Washing
ton. 1t is recognized that the cutting
of the forests has had much to do With
the annual recurrence of these floods,
and careful study of conditions is be-
ing made in the hope that some means
may be found to prevent them. To
this end, 1t is probable that the prin-
cipal engineers in the country may
be asked to submit ideas. While no
steps have been taken. it is understood
that w. G. McAdoo, of New York, who
conceived and superintendent the con-
struction Of the great tunnel under the
Hudson river, will be among those ask
ed to submit an opinion. The immense
loss in lives and money chargeable to
these annual floods has stirred the adj
ministration to the necessity for taking
some decisive action.

The Green Of English Lawns.

The Green of English Lawns.
The human soul is SO made that
green is one Of its most delectable
aesthetic experiences. The color is not
exciting, like red, nor stimulating, like
yellow, nor exalting and inspiring, like
blue; it is simply soothing, satisfying.
reviving, delicious. 1t is the human
color. If there be planets on whose
surface green is color as rare as is
blue on ours, our race would speedily
languish and die out there. But I
speak, of course, Of the perfect green,
the green of English lawns. Other
green's there are, cold or trivial or
muddy or crude, which do but irritate
or depress us, and there are blue
green's and gray green's. well enough in
their places, and in the caves of ice
bergs spiritual green's that exercise a
weird enchantment. But for the gar
ment of the mighty, round earth no
other green is more worthy than this
of England; none other touches SO In
wardly the heart Of man. No wonder
that Falstaff on his deathbed babbled
of green fields. For my dying eyes I
could desire no happier vision than the
gracious levels Of an English lawn

summer afternoon.-Julian Hawthorne

Happy Derivations.

There are some very funny stories
told about the derivations Of words
since people are likely to twist their
language into strange forms. Thus.
the pope is even today called by the
name 'pontifex," which boys in the
Latin class all know Is taken by him
from the title of the old Roman priests.
Now "pontifex" means bridge builder,
and 1t is true that the Roman priests
In the early days Of the republic were
In charge of bridges, but probably 1t
should be "pomptifex," meaning "mak-
er Of ceremonies" Many Of you have
wondered what the priest had to do
with bridge building. and this little
change of mt to imp" makes the
whole matter clear.
An astonishing derivation Is that Of
the word stranger" which we are told
comes from the Greek word ex, or out
Of. Absurd as this seems, it is easy to
understand. Elk means out, from or
away, the same word as the Latin ex;
hence comes extra. Then comes the
Latin extraneus, which means outside.
The old French word, from this,
estrange, means an outsider, but
estrange gave US the word stranger
by dropping the and stranger by
dropping the e.
After this serious example we shall
not be surprised at the old joke that
derived the town name "Middletown,"
from Moses" by dropping the eddie
town" and adding ''oses."-St. Mich

PANS $500 WORTH OF GOLD
Miner With Wife, Three Children
and Nine Burros Causes Excite
ment at Hillsboro.

A man giving his name as w.
c. Brooks created quite a gold
excitement here last Tuesday,
says the Sierra County Advocate.
Mr.. Brooks, who is evidently a
typical prospector, exhibited
some gold specimens that excited
the curiosity of the most sedate.
Mr.. Brooks also had some fine
specimens of copper ore. The
prospector said lie made his dis
covery last spring in the Black
Range on the head of the north
Palomas, where he had been
continuously at work up to a few
days ago when he quit on ac-
count of snow. He said he had
located six claims in that remote
and inaccessible country, four
gold claims and two copper
claims. Mr.. Brooks, who was
accompanied by his wife and
three children, said they had
seen no other persons during
their stay there from the early
part of April until they left for
civilization. He also claimed
that he had done 800 feet of
work on one of his claims and
that he had a large amount of
high grade ore on the dump and
that he would return to his mines
again next spring. And stock
jumped up few points when he
asserted that his 9 year old son
peStled out over 500 worth of
gold in one day. Mr.. Brooks
has pack train of nine or ten
barros and he and his family left

THE SLAUGHTER OF DEER
The Indians Kill the Animals by this
Hundred Merely for the Hides,
Says Edward Farr.

Edward Farr of the u Bar b
ranch, located sixty miles west of
of Magdalena, has a very positive
opinion on the manner in which
the Indians have been allowed to
slaughter the deer of late. He eS-
Inmates that the Indians have
killed no less then five hundred
o; the animals in the vicinity of
his ranch during the past few
months, and says that il the
government does not take some
steps to prevent the slaughter
in an other season the residents of
the western part of the county
will undertake the job themselves.
In an interview in Albuquer-
quo the other day, Mr., Farr was
credited with the following:
Il counted twenty-five deer in
field of alfalfa near the ranch
one morning last fall and it was
nothing to see a half dozen in
the field any morning early in
the hunting season but none are
TO be found anywhere now. The
Indians have killed them all.
There was a band of reds in
every canyon all winter long"
continued Mr.. Farr. and they
slaughtered deer right and left.
All are armed with the best of
rifles and are good shots. Camp
ing on the trail of the game all
the time they make big kills.
They shoot the animals merely
for the skins in many instances.
In other instances they take the
skin and the saddle and leave the
rest for the coyotes. Unless the
government takes some action to
stop this ruthless murder of the
deer another season the residents
of the country win take upon
themselves the job of furnishing
the renegadeS." D."
