The decrease of lS,600 in the number
of pensions on the rolls at the end Of
the fiscal year 1907 as compared with
the year previous is the feature of the
report of Pension Commissioner War
ner, recently issued. This is the great
est decrease in the history of the pen
sion bureau. The total number OF pen
sioners June 80, 1907, was 967,35l, and
the total value of the pension roll at
that date was Sl4O,S5O,SS0. This is
greater by s4,6l3,l3l than the value of
the roll for the year previous, and is
accounted for by the higher rates Of
pensions provided for by the act of Feb
ruary, 1907, under which act there had
been enrolled June 80 of the present
year 1929 pensions, The total num-
ber OF pensioners in the roll on accouI.

FIND TIN IN GOLD MINE.

The Reliance Gold Mining company
has taken up some active development
work on its other properties located in
Pennington and Custer counties in the
Central and Southern Hills, respective.
ly, and these now bid fair to prove as
valuable as the ground in Bald Noun
tain. On one group of claims situated
two miles south of Oreville, near where
the Clara Belle property has found some
good ore in the past, the Reliance has
opened up gold ledge that with but
little prospecting shows up well and as
says about 81 ton. Further south, on
another group located eight miles west
ton with the gold ore. This means that
the Reliance company will branch out
into the field of tin, which, while it has
had vicarious history in the past, is
now attracting quite a little attention
from the several recent finds Of the met
al. The Reliance company found the
tin in drift off fifty foot shaft, and
their experiments with the new find
will prove of general nterest.--Pioneer-

CUYAHoGA COMPANY TO INSTALL MILL.
The Keystone Recorder says the
Cuyahoga mine is going to be one of the
largest concerns in the Black Hills in a
few months. The company now holds
some of the best gold mining claims in
the Hills, and the stockholders are con-
vnced that with the proper mining and
milling machinery they can make the
mine pay them good interest on the
money they invest on the property.
A new seventy-fve ton reduction mill
is TO be erected on their ground as soon
as the lumber can be sawed. National
ore pulverisers will be used in crushing
the ore. At present Manager f. A. Gira

mill will be hurried along as fast as pos.

pocket, and when turned back to you had
this other pack in my hand. Now, this pack
had its cards previously arranged in such rota-
ton that could name them in order, with
out seeing them"
But they were all mixed up" said Lucy.
How could you learn the whole ffty-two"
Instead of being merely jumbied up, they
were in sort Of order that could remember.
But to do the trick you have to commit to
memory this rine:
Eight kings threatened to save
Nine fine ladies for one such knave. ''s-@-~4
"Ho!" cried Fred "That isn't difficult
I've learned long poems in an afternoon. l
could learn that in two minutes"
Now you must also learn the suits in alpha
betical order. How would they go?"
Clubs diamonds hearts, spades" cried
Lucy quickly.
Analysing the Verse
H/ERY well. Now all you have to learn is
" that the syllables of the rime stand for the
cards, thus: eight, king, three, ten, two. seven,
nine, five, queen, four, one, six, knave. The
knave is what you usually call the jack. Now,
see, we shall throw all the cards down on the
table, face up. We shall then part them into
suits. and then pick them up in this order.
Eight (clubsl, king tdiamonds). three (hearts),
ten (spades), two (clubs). seven (diamonds),
nine (hearts). five (spades), and so on. Take
the card that corresponds to the verse, and
keep the suits in correct rotation. Do you
understand, Lucys"
"Yes, Sir" said. Lucy. blinking hard as she
fitted the cards to the syllables of the couplet.
Threatened is three, ten; and fine is five,
and save is seven. All the rest are just as
they sound"
'Yes,'' said Uncle Bob And as soon as
you are little used to it, it is very easy to
remember how they run. When you play the
trick, go slowly, and don't get flustered. Then
you will have no trouble in knowing each card
but when put the pack on the table, and took
the cards from the other end, / had to remem-
Der my formula backward. This is difficult
until you are fairly expert at the game; so
have the cards cut. Indeed, they may be cut
as often as desired. 1t will not affect the order
of the arrangement. But in this case you
must slyly ascertain the bottom card, and
then YOU can 60 on. If the bottom card proved
to be the seven of diamonds, what would the
next card be. Lucy!"
Save nine,'" said Lucy, muttering to her
self. "Diamonds-hearts. Why, it would be
the nine of hearts, uncle"
So it would. Good for you'll Another way
to discover the bottom card, after the pack
has been cut, is to hold it up to mirror, or
even hold it to the light and see through it.
Then say carelessly, That is the way people
suppose this trick is done: but shall not use
any such means In this way you have dis
covered what the first card is, and may go
ahead. Here. I'll give you children these two
packs to take with you. Their backs are
alike, and they are both arranged in order.
So after one is thoroughly shuf1ed by your
victim, you must substitute the other unseen
by him."

we're going skating: but couldn't you show US

Lucy shuffled the cards, and then Uncle
Bob directed Fred to shuttle them also. Fred
gave them good shutting, and handed the
the cards uppermost.
"A1 right" said Uncle Bob, holding the
pack with the cards face down. But before
! begin, tell me- Lucy, do You feel the draft
from this window too muchl"
It is little chilly Uncle" said Lucy, and
Uncle Bob closed the window, and then pro-
ceeded with his trick.
"Now, children" he said, as he held the
pack up so that they could see the faces of the
cards, but he himself could not, what I
purpose to do is this tell you the name of
each card without seeing it. Some tricksters
might do this by seeing the reflections of the
cards in mirror on the opposite wall. but You
see for yourselves there is no mirror in the
room. tell by delicate sense of second
sight, which peers through the whole pack
and sees the foremost card, the one that faces
YOU"
As Uncle Bob spoke, he held up the pack,
and the children saw the bottom card as it
faced them. 1t was the five of clubs. Uncle
Bob stared at the back Of the pack. as if look
ing through the pasteboards, and said, Five
of cluts. Laying it aside, he announced the
next one to be the queen of diamonds. This
was correct, and then Uncle Bob went on
through the pack, naming each card as he
came to it. Sometimes he would seem
little uncertain of card. and. slipping it from
the pack, would weigh it thoughtfuliy in his
hand As its pink back was uppermost, the
children could not see how this helped him;
sbut Uncle Bob said, "Oh, indeed it does. The
court cards weigh much more than the Spot
cards. You know there is so much more color
on them"

a Uncle Bob laid the remainder on the table,
still with their pink backs uppermost.
Are they marked on the back, uncle?"
asked Fred suddenly
No. my boy" said Uncle Bob, this is a
brand new pack, and entirely free from any
marks which could distinguish the cards"
Fred knew his uncle would tell him only
the truth in such matter as that, SO he paid
even closer attention, as Uncle Bob picked
up the cards one by one from the pack on the
table, and correctly named each one before he
turned it over. Sometimes he weighed them.
sometimes he gazed at them as if seeing through
them. sometimes he even shifted at them, as
if he could guess them by their fragrance. But
invariably he announced the name of the card.

Some Good Work of the W. C. T. o.

Sunday, March Oath, is the
time for the quarterly temperance
lesson in all tie protestant Sun.
day schools throughout the Chris
tian world. To a great many pao.
pie, the temperance lessons have
been dull and uninteresting. For
this reason, the National Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Un-
ion, the instrumentality which
brought about ihe introduction
of these lessons into the inter-
national series, has conceived the
idea of adding special interest to
temperance Sunday by program
in each Sunday school arranged
especially for the occasion.
The local Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, besides fur
nishing The different Sunday
schools with programs and litera-
ture, and arranging for tie exer-
cises, will add still another iuter-
eating feature to the occasion.
This organization has offered
prizes to the four college classes
of the South Carolina Co-Educa-
tional Inst; t;tute, for the best es-
says on the following topics:
Senior class, "The attitude of
business to alcohol" Junior class,
"Alcobol factor in crime;;"
Sophomore class, "What alcohol
is responsible for;;" Freshman
class, "The effect Of alcohol on
character
The respective merits of these
essays will be judged by the
superlntendenta of the Sunday
school department of the w. c. T.
u, and the best essay in each
class will receive the prize offered
in that contest, besides the honor
of being read before one or the
other of the Sunday schools of our
Town on Temperance SUNDAY.
This will serve two-fold pur-
pose, not only making our Tenn
perance Sunday more attractive
and helpful, but will incite our
stu dents to an intelligen. study of
the alcohol question, thus carry
ing out two of the principles of
the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union-Agitate and Educate.

Long Staple Cotton.

Interest in the growth 'of=long
staple cotton becomes more and
mora intense as tho time for

who are going 10 plant some long

with whom ne have talked pur-
pose planting all of their wages

year. He recently sold a bale for
20 cents per ponnd, the bale net,
ting him Sill. A few days ago we
saw check for SLY which was
given for ono bale of long staple
cotton. 1t seems that every new
variety of cotton, like the dog,
has its day, and this is certainly
the Gay of the long staple variety.
