Paving Streets with Gold Ore,

= 0vh"9 SNsSSSo vssAp SSlO VIZ
West Denver is soon to boast of
having probably the only streets on
this earthly globe paved with gold.
While workmen the other day were
unloading disintegrating granite ship
ped from South park for the surface
ing of the district between south
Eleventh and Larimer streets, they
found rock which contained what
looked to be free gold. Samples were
turned over to experts, who pro-
nounced that to- the naked eye it was
Enthusiastically gold ore. This opinion
was strengthened by, the fact of. ma
terial having been secured in South
park. This district: was recently ex-
amined by mining engineers repre-
senting the chamber of commerce, who
reported that the district was an un.
explored region of wealth. Mayor
Speer has some samples of the rock
which he intends to have tested by
an assayer. In the meantime this
presumably valuable material will be
placed on the streets unless so mnch
ore4is. found by the assayer to war
rant it being placed In the city treas.
ury instead Denver Republican.

FESTIVAL OF THE WELLS.
Custom Of Unknown Origin Observed
Each Year in England.

The annual custom of decorating
the wells of the village Of Tissington,
in the heart of the peak of Derby.
shire, which for centuries has taken
place on Ascension day, was duly OBJ
served
Many visitors joined with the VII
layers in the thanksgiving service held
in the church. There a procession
was formed, and each of the five dec
Grated wells was visited, psalms and
Ascensiontide hymns being sung.
Upon the stone frontage of the
wells wooden structure covered with
a layer Of clay had been placed, and
flowers had been wrought into ex-
quisite mosaics, with scriptural pas
sages interviewer.
The origin of the celebration is in
volved in obscurity, but the uninter-
rupted continuity of the observance,
in recent years may be due to the cir
cumstance that during terrible
drought in Derbyshire the Tissington
wells did not fail.-London Standard.

SILK THREAD IN NEST.
Bright Material. Made Trouble for
Home-BuiIding Robins.

1T is astonishing" says a bird
lover, where and how birds manage
to find or steal the variety of materi-
ais they use in building their nests.
1.-Two robins are now building in a
tree close to my window, and besides
twigs, blades of dried grass, horse
hairs, and other things that might be
expected, one of them brought a skein
of blue silk thread. tt had been stolen
from somewhere, and was evidently
regarded by both the robins as very
valuable acquisition, for after bring
ing it to the nest there was a long,
animated discussion as to what ought
to be done with it. It would not do
to use it on the outside, for it's color
was so bright that it would attract at
tention to the nest, so after world of
talk about it, the silk was finally dis
posed of by twining it round and
round on the inside. There it be-
came the cause of further trouble, for
the male bird, leaving the nest, found
it tangled with his claws, and pulled it
nearly all out, being roundly scolded
by the lady bird for his carelessness.
It took hours to put it all back again
and prevent recurrence of a similar
accident, but things were finally ad-
justed to the satisfaction of both
birds, and though I could not see, I
think they covered up the silk with
bits of paper, for saw them carrying
fragments of newspaper and wrappers
and apparently very busy slowing
them away inside"

Dachshund Proved Innocence.

A black and tan dachshund gave.
evidence in a law court in New York
recently. He belongs to Mrs. Fanny
Henning, whose neighbors complain,
that he bowls all night long. In sup.
port OF their contention they exhibited
photographs of the dog with his
mouth wide open, taken from windows
overlooking the Henning's back yard.
One witness swore that the dog
barked 234 times in seven minutes,
so the Judge suggested calling the.
dog. In he came, leisurely, walked to-,
the witness chair and climbed into,
the seat, yawning lazily and blinking.

ticke1ed him in the ribs, rubbed his,
head roughly, pinched him, and even
pulled his ears. He appeared to be Sc
well bred that not so much as q whim-
per was heard. The Judge said that
the neighbors had evidently been dis
turbed by another dog.

says the Journal Of the American Cav
airy Association. This may be accom-
plished by fastening a string or hand
kerchief to the side rings of the can
teens, and then passing it around the
neck. For still greater security, pass
a cord around the body and fasten it
to the outside rings.
