ON A BUSINESS BASIS.
Buyers Conscience Would Not Al,o.
Him to Take Present.

Martin Van Camp. a wholesale
poulterer of Omaha, was talking the
other day about buyers.
My statesmen" he said, would al
ways prefer to deal directly with the
heads of firms instead of with buyers.
With the heads everything always, is
open and aboveboa-d. But in the
case of buyers. anything one does
seems to smack OF trlckery and de-
ceit.
"A certain New York buyer for c
big firm ordered from a salesman OF
mine last week large consignment
OF turkeys. The salesman. pleased
with the order, took the buyer a box
Of 100 expensive cigars. 1t was an
honorable enough performance. but
the buyer, when the present was of.
fered to him, got mad.
Look out he said, warniugly
None of that. You can't bri5e me

The salesman was vexed. but he
put a good face on the matter.
"'Bribe your he exclaimed. Why
man, you must be crazy. Who wants
to bribe you? This was n simple lit

And with that Mr.. stephen Os.

about Eve thousand dollars worth OF

French window of Mr.. Thaddeus

Mr.. Thaddeus Field never found n

tered and looked SO merry and hand
some that the lady behind the carved
screen lost her heart to him, and
when Mr.. Field escorted Mr.. Osborne
out, and the door closing behind them,
the ladies were at liberty to come
forth again. Miss Stella Garner
laughed herself, and chatted. and
looked not SO ugly after all. And Mr..
Stephen Osborne. who with Thaddeus
had gone round another way into the
hidden cupboard, that the former
might spy upon Miss Garner as she
had spied upon him, drew deep
breath, and whispered to the matri-
monial agent, Il suppose l can't do
better-she seems a decent sort"
Quite the lady, I assure you, Mr..
Osborne" murmured the willy Thad-
deus in his ear; ANY amount of ac-
complishments-yo and little
bit of money in the bank. VIII you
come up to my house tonight? I'll
ask her round too"
mo, thanks said Stephen Osborne.
''let it be tomorrow. I've something
else on tonight"
Tomorrow, then" replied Thad-
deus, you will make the acquaint-
ance of the future Mrs. Osborne"
Now, there was one thing in the
world for which Christina Field lived
and moved and had her being. and
that was jewelry In her bedroom at
the little uptown house she had a
small strong safe built into the wall
and the key of that safe never left
her possession. Her diamonds were
not imperial, still they were valuable
and had been mounted to her own in
structions, and she had a ruby brace
let for which many a fairly honest
woman would have risked her soul
When an opportunity arose for Ma
dame Christina to don her glitterinG
treasures she was happy; when there
were women present to envy them
she became positively radiant.
In obedience to this ruling passion
Christina-dressing for the early din
ner at which Stephen Osborne was tc
meet Miss Stella Garner, and which
was to be followed by visit to the
theater-clasped about her white
throat and dainty arms some five
, thousand dollars worth of precious
stones. Very well she looked, too

hid their faces. He looked SO young
and boyish, so strong and full of life,
that to think of him still in death
chilled our very hearts and minds.

ter You have all been mighty good

He slowly shook hands with us, one
by one. The lips of the boys were
drawn and it seemed to me that
was committing a crime. Just as he
held my hand sunny-haired girl ran
up to jim. I'VE wants a tory" she
lisped.
He stopped and tossed her into the
air. Jim won't tell stories any more.
Jim's going away"
NO, Jim shan't CO." she sobbed,
clasping him about the neck as if to
prevent. Where is Jim going?"
Wa off, where they don't worry
and where they amt down on a man
because he amt rich and great;
where everything is so nice and
sweet, and where even Jim can learn
to be good"
The child stared at him in amaze
ment. That must be heaven, JIM"
1T is heaven, hope, and some day
you will meet me over there" He
kissed her softly, placing her upon
the ground, while she ran to tell the
rest.
Follow me, but don't try to help"
He hastened to the door, sprang upon
the back of his mare and turned. His
face was lighted with a smile, but it
was transfixed with a new radiance.
The face of the rough miner was
made beautiful by the greatness and
miShtiness of his deed and sacrifice
We followed, and as we waited we
could hear the thud, thud, thud of
his hammer and the grating of his
chisel, and even the falling OF stone.
He began to whistle the same old
tune he loved so well-an old church
hymn. We stood with bowed heads
L.
Then came a horrible, intense,
deathlike stiffness, which was quickly
answered by terrific explosion and
report, as if a hundred cannons had
gone off. The sound was that OF a
rock-crusher, as the stone fell, and
the pieces of coal and dirt went
seething past. Then again the silence,
the ebbing and swirling of black, dark
waters as they poured forth, rushing
out, pell nell.
We stood, hoping against hope. yet
knowing all the time how utterly use
less it was. Presently we caught
sight of hand and his body fioated
to us. The dark face was partly
crushed and discolored with blood,
but there was a smile upon his lips.
He had saved the miners and Jim
had passed to his reward in the
Great Beyond.

DIAMONDS
IN ARKANSAS
A RICH ZINE
Believed to Have Been
Found in the Planters
State--A Government Re-
port--PreciouS Stone S
Scattered Over Large
Territory.

New York, Aug. Diamonds "in
place or in their original geological
setting, and of such fine quality and
such quantity to give promise of a
rich mine, have been found in Pike
county, Arkansas. Such was the
statement made today by DIR. George
+. Kunz of New York, a noted gem
expert That the diamond existed
has been kept as secret as possible
by the owners since they were as
sured by experts that their ground
carried the gems.
In government report to be made
public soon, the first official notice
is to be given that diamond mine
has been found in the United States
This bulletin, which VIII prove sensa-
tonal despite the conservatism with
which IL has been prepared. embodies
the resulut of Investigations by Dr.
Kunz and DIR, Henry S. Washington,
noted photographer. DR.. Kunz has
studied and endeavored to trace to
their supposed sources every dia-
mond found in the United States in
the last 20 years.
Arkansas diamonds are found over
an area of 100 acres near the little
town of Nashville. about 60 miles
from Little Rock. They occur in a
volcanic rock similar to that of the
South African mines, which Is found
in Pike county. The first two stones
were found Aug. l, 1906. by an Ar
kansan, Since then they have been
found almost continuously. the total
number being 120 at last report.
Many stones are white and of good
water, while some are yellow and
others of brow boart The two larg-
est stones weigh six and one-hali
carats. one being exceedingly fine
white and the other brown.
No diamonds have been discovered
outside the 100-acre area. They
were all found between the two dikes
where roadway has cut up the de
! composed rock within an area o
some five acres.
DR. Kunz says: ''In my opinion
! a genuine permanent diamond min,
has been found and Americans ma!
soon be wearing American da
monds"

BILE power of Theresa Schadel over

Huge Cats Have Savage Fight.
Little Theresa happened into the
quarters one day when the two huge
cats were having savage fight. Both
were torn and bloody, and several
attendants were trying to separate
them with iron bars and wooden
stakes. The child was Mortified and,
running toward the cage, began to
cry and begged them to quit: she
even reached in between the bars and
caught Dandy by the tail. He dropp-
ed his hold on Garry's shoulder as If
he had been shot. The move was so
sudden that even Garry let go, and
both shot swift glance at the in

1t took but an instant. and down
went their heads and tails They
drew into opposite corners of the
cage and began to lick their wounds,
and then the little girl began to talk
to them. She did not scold them
but, on the contrary, sympathized
with each one as though he were the
unfortunate victim.
She threw her arms about the
wounded lion while he had his shoul-
der stitched and helped the animal
