ing no knowledge of the business,
he can always get into communi-
cation with a mining engineer
who will give him the correct in
formation.
In a district that is we'll known
and has been a producer and
dividend payer, the investor in
mining stocks takes as little
chance in buying shares. in a
healthy prospect as he does in
putting his money into any other
kind of security. In fact, he has
far better opportunities of large
gains from a mining investment
than in most any other venture.
All persons who desire to spec
ulate in mining cannot visit the
mining district or the mine or
prospect in which they wish to
invest. Neither can they meet
the brokers who hal die the
stocks, but they have one safe
guard, they can easily find out
the standing Of the broker or firm
and in this manner know who
they are doing business with.
1t is well known that there are
more chances for quick and large
gains in mining stocks for the
person of moderate means than
in most other lines of business,
and greater chances of making a
competency or independent for
tune. The chief requisites are
ready money, a small amount of
nerve and reasonable amount
of patience.

Boise, Idaho, June 19.-The pros
ecution in the Steunenberg murder
trial offered one of it's most impor-
tant pieces of evidence against VIII
liam d. Haywood yesterday when.
recalling Harry Orchard for redirect
examination, it introduced and Sc
cured the admission of four letters
tending to show that Haywood dur

swears he was engaged on various
crimes for the federation leaders,
had participated In plan to de-
ceive Mrs. Orchard the second, Of
Cripple Creek, as to the whereabouts
of her husband.
Over a variety of protests from
the defense Orchard was allowed to
testify that early in the summer OF
1905 Haywood told him that Mrs.
Orchard was writing him for infor-
nation as to Orchards whereabouts.
Orchard swore that he proposed
that he should write his wife series

les Of Waxahachic
An actual numbering OF the In.
habiIauts would sho~ the estimate
made on the basis OF names contain
cd in the new directory Just issued
10 be fully three thousand below the
mark, Even an appropriate estimate
can moi he made from the directory
because OF the fact that IL contains
only the names OF heads OF families
and Of children over the age OF L.
years Not only were great many
negroes overlooked by the enumer-
ators, but some allowance must be
made for white families whose
names we're not secured
The government census OF 1900
gave the city population of Ans
and since then the corporate limits
OF the city have been extended To
take in every outlying suburb. some
of these being populous residence
sections The annexation of these
districts added fully two thousand
TO the population The settlement of
Trinity University addition and the
natural increase throughout the en-
tire city must be reckoned, all of
which. would more than double the
governments report.
That the estimate Of 10000 is
very nearly correct is verified by the
scholastic census for the year 1907,
which shows an enrolment of 1897
children. The governments basis OF
computation in 1900 was six to every
scholastic. Multiplying the number
of scholastics in the city by six and
the population shown is S.32S. This
Is considered a very low estimate as
there are many families in the city
who are not represented in the scho-
laStic enumeration.

backward and forward many times.
What really takes place Is that the
metal, which was strong and ductile
to begin with, Is gradually made hard
and brittle and then finally breaks of.
Now, the metal near the edge Of a.
razor Is being subjected to very similar
treatment. Every turn on the strop
reverses the direction Of the bend near
the edge and, although the amount Of
bending Is too slight ever to bring
about actual breakage Of such an
elastic metal as hardened steel, 1t is
vet sufficient to bring about q change
In the metal which renders 1t less
elastic and able to stand the strain.
This Is why q razor which has been
used long ceases to cut well or to hold
q good edge.
Now 1T has been discovered thar
steel which has lost its proper elastic
qualities BY such a process of fatigue.
as it is called, is capable Of recovering
Its good qualities under favorable cir
cumstances. 1t will recover in this
| way if left at rest though this is a
comparatively slow process, which eX-
| plains the fact that a tool which has
become useless through continued use
will be as good as ever after a prolong-
ed rest. But recovery will take place
much more rapidly if the steel be
warmed, so that a few minutes expo
sure to the temperature Of boiling wa
i ter will bring about recovery to an ex.
tent that would have required several
days rest at the ordinary tempera-
lures. This fact explains the advantage
to be derived from the familiar prac
tice of 'steaming' a razor before use.''

depositors who cannot read or write.

They Are Easily Managed whens
They Are Mnssed Together.
In Spain accidents to bulifghters are
OF frequent occurrence, and it Is inter
esting to see the hero OF many fights
swing into the chapel attached to the
bull ring and kneel before the effigy /
Of the Virgin Mary before entering the
arena.
Bullfghting is the national pastime.
Boys play at it In the cutters, and
there are bullfghts for amateurs all
over the country at which only two
year-old bulls are used and young and
old descend into the arena. Ast0und
ing is the enthusiasm.
Interesting, too, is the psychology Of
bulls. When herded together they are
docile enough, and it is picturesque
sight to see the bulls brought into the.
paddock prior to the fight through the
streets Of the city when all are sleep
Ing, A COW trained to the business,
with a bell around her neck, is all that
is necessary, and the bulls follow
quietly behind her.
i q
| reared men on horses manage them
quite easily SO long as they are massed
/ together Three bulls in the ring to-
gether would be useless for fight, but
each bull separately will fight to the
3tdeath. 5 n 5s
Bulls literally see red. Were it not
4 that a bull will always dash at any
4 thing red the men in the ring would
have no chance whatever. Occasionally
bulls have what is called the evil eye
and remain Indifferent to the red capa
extended to them, and then the list OF
casualties is generally high.
4 Sometimes a bull which has shown
4 prodigious power and fight is pardoned
i by the populace. A COW, Kept for the
purpose, is then sent into the arena
and at sight Of her the bull forgets
man and the fury of the battle ant
L, generally trots behind to the paddock
as meek as any heifer.
Many are the curiosities about bulls
which sometimes refuse to attack :
particular horse and when man i
down, motionless, disdain even to paw
him. Some bulls make instinctively TO
one man and will chase him all aroun'
the ring, leaping the barrier il b
vaults over it, and IL he falls wi
kneel upon his body and gore him t
shreds. There is no mercy in bulls. an
none is shown to them.-Nineteent

A RAzoR's EDGE.
Results That Come From stroppin8
and Long Use. f@S

nesuIts That Come From stroppin1
* and Long Use. s.
Very thin Is the edge Of a razor blade.
Its thickness has been estimated at
about one half millionth Of an inch.
"A writer says Of this wonderfully thin
bit Of steel, when seen under a power
full microscope: The extreme edge Of
the section Is distinctly bent to one
aide. This is nearly always seen in
razor edges. The actual bend repre-
SCENTS the effect Of the last stroke on
the strop which this blade has received.
Now, this bending Of the metal quite
near the edge, minute as 1t Is, has some
very important practical consequences.
If the razor be used in such way
that the bend is toward the skin there
will be a tendency for the edge itself
to burrow downward into the skin, in
stead Of sliding easily over the surface
and merely cutting away the project
Ing hairs. If, on the other hand, the
blade be applied to the face in such q
way that the bend Of the edge is away
from the skin the edge will slide much
more smoothly, with less tendency to
cut or scratch the skin, while 1T will
act upon the hairs in a slightly upward
direction and thus tend to pull them
4 tight while cutting. The direction Of
i the bend of the edge can be regulated
by the last few strokes on the strop.
This minute amount Of bending I'M

AS Is generally known, senior. many
bad things are met with at night In
the streets Of the city. but this wailing
woman, La Lloronn. is the very worst
OF them all. she is worse by far than

comes forth from the potrero of San
Sebastian and goes galloping through
the streets like blazing whirlwind,
breathing forth from her nostrils smoke
and flames, because the fiery COW. Sc
nor, while a dangerous animal to look
at, really does nobody any harm, and
La Llorona is as harmful as she
can be. 'S "
Seeing her walking along quietly
at the times when she Is not running
and shrieking for her lost children
she seems a respectable person, only
odd looking because of her white skirt
and the white reboso with which her
head is covered, and anybody might
speak to her. But whoever does speak
| to her in that very same moment dies!
No one who has stopped her to talk
with her ever has lived to tell what
happens at that terrible encounter, but
LIT is generally known that what does
.happen is this: Slowly she turns to-
ward the one who has spoken. and
/ slowly she opens the folds of her white
reboso. and then is seen bare grin,
4 ming skull set fast to a bare skeleton
i and from her deshless jaws comes oile
. single icy cold breath that freezes int
instant death whoever feels it. Aftel
