Conductor Tried to Soften the Blow
 to the Poor Senator.

Shortly after the railway companies abolished the pass privilege a certain United States senator who had held his office many years and had carried a pass all that time boarded a train for Washington. He had forgotten to provide himself with the necessary ticket. Presently the conductor came along He was one of the oldest men on the line. and the senator, who had made many trip with him before, cordially extended his hand. How are you. Gregory" he said. First rate, senator" answered the conductor, Glad to see you looking so we'll Thank you, Greg. But why are you offering me your left hand?" Be cause don't want my left hand to know what my right hand is doing" What Is your right hand doing?' It's reaching for your fare, senator" |" said the conductor, with a grim smile Youths Companion.

paraphernalia possessed by crit. ters that live on It's surface. 1 think that the volcanoes are skin eruptions caused by diseas- ed condition of the earth's blood, and that earthquakes are local agitations of the epidermis, like horse shakes off a fly; that the human race and the other animals are nothing but parasites upon the earth's skin which it would gladly eliminate if it could. This theory is doubtless true, but 1 don t teach it, for fear the trusts might get hold of it and makeo eour earth rotate to suit themselves. '
 John, 1 thought you said the eclipse would come on at 9 o'clock; l heard the clock strike 10 just now and no eclipse in sight"
 Heavens, woman, 1 have over lectured myself; get up and let me see. Yes, it is on: a total, just as predicted. If old Joshua could see this he would never want to thrash another Philistine.
 John can you see the anulus:" asked Mrs. Tweezer as she nov ed towards the front of the tel escope.
 How do you expect me to see the anulus, Mrs. Tweezer, when it's total?"
 Just wait, John, until 1 pull this rag out of the end of your telescope, then 1 think you can see better"
 Heavens. woman. you have ruined my telescope and spoiled my view of the eclipse. How dare you do such thing? 1 will see madam, if there is no law to protect science and property"
 You mean a law to protect the unsophsticated; you have let the boys put up another job on you, Tweezer. That old fake telescope has been the joke of the town, and now you come lugging it home, with a few tips" on astronomy, while the boys are giggling in their sleeves"
 Woman. I-"
 Never mind, John, we can probably use it for stove pipe, put it away and go to bed"
 Woman. 1 will see my lawyer tomorrow about alimony and protection of science" growled Tweezer as he slammed the door to his room.

The Eclipse.
AS JOHN TWEEZER SAW IT.

asked Mrs. Tweezer, as she watched John Tweezer unload from his shoulder, a six foot in strument of some kind.
 Have you not heard, Mrs Tweezer, that there will be total eclipse of the moon tonight?"
 No, 1 have not heard of it, Johr, will it be visible to thenak, ed eye?"
 Women have no eyes, Mrs. | Tweezer, when it comes to sci ence. They can tell when a hen will come off with her chickens, or, when a baby will cut a tooth, but they can't tell word about astronomy. They have no use for scientific instruments; they can see the imperfections in their husbands, and a made-over hat without the use of them, and when 1t comes, to seeing a jazz they have the Lick telescope put out of business.
 This instrument you called thing, Mrs. Tweezer, is a tel escope, and when 1 get it set up 1 will teach you more about celestial dynamics than you ever heard of. /"
 I will admit, John, that don't know much about astron- omy, but 1 do know that it's i'm possible to have an eclipse to- night when the moon is in it's first quarter; we have them only when the moon is full" "
 Nonsense, woman, you have been taught enormously. The first quarter, or full, has noth- ing to do with the eclipSes; when something comes between us and the moon, we have them, and that is all there is to it, Mrs. Tweezer.
 But John, there is nothing that can come between us and the moon. The moon belongs to the earth, and travels around with it, like man carrying a lantern"
 | know, Mrs. Tweezer, they used to teach such stuff, but with our improved telescopes, we have learned better. Old Joshua com manded the sun to stand still, so he might thrash a few of the Philistines. You may be Joshua, Mrs. Tweezer, to allpurposes and intents, but if you will go with me on the back gallery and help put up this telescope we will knock the four corners of the earth into a cooked hat"
 Now, it is ready, Mrs. Tweez- CT; think we can get good view from the end of this gallery. You might bring your chair and sit down, and look through the instrument at the spangled heavens, as it will be a few min uteS before the eclipse takes 1 place. 1 will focus the instru- ment for you on Alpha Centauri That is our nearest fixed star. It's light was shining millions of years before the Egyptian pyr- amids were built, and it's rays have never reached us. It is thought that some trust has gathered them up and will be sell ing them at so much a thermal watt.

ORE WORTH MONEY
One Foot ASSaying Over $500
in Gold-SeveraI Feet
Going $3.50.

Samples of ore that were brought in
from the kindergarten company's prop
erty in the Seven Troughs district earlier
in the week were submitted TO the assayer
by r. J. Evans on his arrival Yesterday
he got his returns.
Samples taken of a One-foOt streak on

SOS in gold and 245 ounces silver per ton.
A grab sample secured from each OF
fOrty-fiVe sacks of ore that were taken
out Of the bottom of the Wine from the
tunnel and about 200 feet vertically be
meath the surface, gave returns of 1850. 50
in gold and l5.5 ounces silver. This ma
terial represented the character of the
material in which the winze was being
sunk and covering a space about ks feet.
This, then is the kind of ore that the
kindergarten company relies upon TO
make gOney for the company when active
production begins In addition, the re-
mainder of the great. forty-fOOt vein that
has been opened and repeatedly sampled.

Prices and Better Times.

Every clOse-down of properties, every
curtailment of shipments and every
thinkable adverse condition has now been
discounted in the price of stocks on the

is ripe for a change and. as that change
must be for the better whether it is late

stocks. As one conservative broker put
it a day or two ago: This market can
now be boughb with blindfolded eyes

THOMAS F. COLE SAYS
COPPER Is GOING TO zoe

Bullish news on the copper metal situa-
ton was coming over the Pollock private
wires at frequent intervals yesterday.
Probably the most significant statement
was that attributed by the Boston News
Bureau to Thomas +. Cole The item reads
as follows:
Thomas f. Cole tells his friends that
he believes copper will reach price of
20 cents per pound in 1908. primarily as a
result of the restriction in production
which is now taking place all over the
country. He says that a - to Is cents
market for copper has shut down the
small properties in all sections of the
country and that he considers il absurd
for any large property that cannot show
substantial profits on 12-cent copper to
deplete its reserves and give away its as
sets, when by stopping production it can
conserve its copper assets for a higher
metal market. He takes the position that
American consumers are so short on
stocks that they are actually sweeping
up the floors TO gather the filings and
that if they figure upon getting copper at
below cost to many of the producers they
will be very much mistaken.

ORE ONCE PROFITABLE
NOW WORTH NOTHING

Yesterday a mining operator of Bling
ham exhibited settlement sheet from a
local custom smeiter that showed that
during last September a lot of ore was
sold on controls that gave him a net re-
turn of s1430 per ton. Figured Friday
on the basis of settlement now allowed by
the same smelter and with lead and silver
al the current market price. ii was
shown that, had the same lot of ore been
sold Friday the producer would have
owed the smelteF just s265 per ton. In
other words, the entire 1880 per ton pro-
fit as shown by the September settle
ment, is wiped out, with s2.65 added by
present conditions.

are refusing to make new contracts, or
