POSTAGE STAMPS.

It is often desired to separate pest
age stamps that are stuck together
without destroying the gum.
This can be done by dipping the
stamps in water for a few seconds
only, shaking off the excess of water
and heating with a match as much
as possible without burning.
The heat expands the water between
the stamps and separates them, So
that they can be easily pulled apart,
and are ready for use.

Some of us are fairly well educat-

Dut the world is good university, and
one doesn't forget the lessons one
learns there. When a gypsy leaves
the life of his forefathers and APPLIES
himself to the usual pursuits of civ

AS a race the Afghans are handsome

in the London Chronicle. Often of

most part, aquiline features. They
grow boards, but shave the top of the
head, leaving the hair at the sides to
fall in large curls over the shoulders.
Proud in bearing, peremptory in man
ner and quick to resent injury, the av-
erage Afghan is nothing if not cruel,
treacherous, perjured and vindictive.

Origin Hard TO Trace,

OrlgIn Hard to Trace.
OF their own origin the gypsies can
give no exact account, many Of them
following the popular belief that they
came originally from Egypt The
Saraeens, the Jews, the Canaanites,
the lost tribes of Israel, or the mixed
multitudes that followed Moses out
OF Egypt-efforts have been made to
trace their origin to each of these
sources The most commonly accept
ed theory is that they are of Indian
origin, and their language, Romani,
shows many resemblances to the
Hindu.
Leaving thier early home in north.
western India about the year 900, the
gypsy folk, driven by the irruptions of
the hordes of Genghis Khan, started
on their long march of centuries.
Taking the direction of Kabulistan
and Persia, they penetrated into
Egypt and northern Africa and mi
grated west through Asia Minor into
Turkey.
Their earliest abiding place on the
continent of Europe was Greece. As
early as 1898 gypsy chieftain named
John was established with a large fc5.

IN Denmark in 1920 III Italy in 1922,
IN France and Spain in 1442, in Pol

England not long after It was the
depredations and the frequent atroci-
ties practiced by these large invading
hordes that gained for the gypsies
their bad name, a name that has stuck
to them ever since.

STORM.BEATEN SERV|A
SEEKS ANOTHER KING
DEATH OF FRANCIS JOSEPH OF
AUSTRIA-HUNGAR WOULD
AFFECT RULER.

VIENNA, Oct. 16.-The opponents
of King Peter of Servia have found
great encouragement in the prospect
of a change of rulers in Austro-Hun-
gary and have reopened their cam
paign with renewed strength since
the first news of the serious illness
of Emperor Francis Joseph.
King Peter and his ministers are
watching anXiously the progress of
the illness of the aged emperor,
knowing that the future of the Ser
vian kingdom depends largely upon
the continuance of the reign of the
venerable monarch. The recent bold
assassinations of anti-regicedes at
Belgrade, two of them having been
done to death in prison in the pres
ence of one of the kings ministers,
have moved some of the great powers
to demand explanations from the
Servian government.
1t has just become known that
King Peter and his prime minister,
Mr.. Pasitch, had almost concluded a
convention with the Austro-Hunga gar
ian government, under which, on the
one hand, the kaiser would guarantee
the maintenance of King Peter and
the Karageorgevitch dynasty on the
Servian throne, and on the other
hand the kingdom of Servia would be
placed under the protection and prac-
tical suzerainty of Austria. The ne
gotiations to this end are now inter-
rupted by the emperor's illness.

ALL RIGHT IN CHICAGO
NOT NEEDED IN ELY

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-The Hyde
Park Liquor Dealers association, as
matter of self-protection, has start
ed crusade against those who over
imbibe. Notices have been sent out
by the secretary of the association
requesting each bartender to ask for
the photograph of every drunkard
from his wife or family, in case COM
plant is made about selling liquor
to him. The pictures then are to
be sent to the secretary of the assO-
citation and he in turn is to have
copies made and sent to every men,
ber of the association. These pic
lures then are to be pasted on the
mirrors behind the bar so that the
dispenser of drinks may see at a
glance if he is selling liquor to a
drunkard.
Two members of the association
lately have been prosecuted by indi-
gent wives for having sold intoxicat-
ing drinks to their husbands. This
caused the movement to brand the
drunkards.

WOULD ADD MILLIONS
TO ASSESSMENT ROLLS.
SUPREME COURT DECLARES
FULL MARKET VALUATION.

The supreme court has handed
down a decision in the tax case of
the Carson and Colorado railroad
against Esmeralda county that has
been before the courts since 1905.
The decision affects many people in
White Pine county.
The supreme court has laid down
the law governing the assessment of
property and if it is carried out the
tax rolls in the several counties will
be increased about 5000, 900.
The court says that every piece of
property should be assessed at its
actual cash value" instead of what
the assessors see fit to value it.
The court held that property in
the state on the first Monday in
March should appear on the assess
ment roll and also any property
brought into the state at any period
between that and the first Monday
in September when the county boards
of equalization meet, should be plac-
ed on the assessment rolls. Further
that the taxes were lien against the
property in the state at the time the
assessment was made, either in
March or later up to the September
meeting. The decision also stated
in unmistakable language that prop
erty throughout the state should be
assessed not at one-third of one-half
value, but at full cash value

Races From Hamilton TO Ely and
Return in Few Hours on
Life Saving Errand.
WAS SENT FOR MEDICINE
Stricken Family Required Immediate
Help Which Boy Hero Fur
nished.

The remarkable endurance of an
Indian boy of Hamilton, who rode to
Ely and back to that mining camp
last Saturday with medicine for suf-
ferers in Hamilton, was related by
DR.. II. d. Cowan last night.
This boy, scarcely in his teens,
rode from Hamilton to Ely and re-
turn in sixteen hours. after working
all day, and then finished his achieve
ment by playing billiards for three
hours in a Hamilton saloon, before
taking rest.
The occasion for the ride was the
serious illness of Mrs. C. S. Alden,
who was suffering from hemorrhagic
diphtheria. A son of the family died
died of the disease Saturday night
few hours after the arrival of DR..
Cowan in the camp, and the mother
had been attacked while attending
the boy.
The mothers case was rapidly as
suming a most serious phase, when
DR.. Cowan arrived and was sum-
moned to treat her. Realizing the
seriousness of her condition, DR..
Cowan told the father that trip
would have to be made to Ely at
once for antitoXin serum.
The Indian boy, Allen, was pressed
into service, and message was en-
trusted to HIM.
81 GO come back quick said
the boy simply, as he mounted his
horse.
Away he dashed like the wind, and
DR.. Cowan attended the stricken
woman, as well as a number of other
cases of the disease which had ap-
peared or were suspected.
The boy left the camp at O'Clock
Saturday evening, and at 10 O'Clock
Sunday morning again dashed up to
the Adm home, his tired pony al
most dropping in its tracks.
81 come back quick said the In
dian lad with grin as he handed
the precious package to DR.. Cowan.
He had made the ride of 96 miles
in 16 hours and had used four horses
on the trip.
There are now nine cases of diph-
iberia, or suspected cases of the dis
ease at Hamilton. and there is not
physician nearer than Ely.
The anti-toXin serum came as
blessing, as each of the patients
showed marked Improvement within
six hours of its administration.
After completing his ride the In
dian lad Went to a saloon and played
billiards for three hours before GO
ing to his rest.
The Hamilton schools will be clos
ed until the disease has been checked.

CLUBMAN FORGER
ARRESTED At WELLS
HIGH SOCIAL POSITION SACR1-
FICED AND NAME BLIGHTED
TO GET MONEY QUICKLY.

DENVER, Oct. 16.-Norris Wilcox,
former clubman and society leader,
wanted here for the passage of nu-
merous bad checks aggregating thou
sands of dollars in his effort to keep
up his social pace, is under arrest.
Chief of Police Delaney this morning
received telegram from the author
tiles of Wells, New, a small mining
camp seventy-five miles from Gold
field, notifying him of the capture
of the fugitive. The news did not
come as surprise to the chief OF
detectives. Yesterday afternoon
William Drake, marshal of Wells, tel
egraphed. Delaney that he would have
Wilcox in Wells today and he would
hold him until the arrival of an Of
ficer from Denver.
Before Wilcox dropped from sight
Tuesday a week ago he took great
pains to inform some of his friends
that he intended to make visit to
relatives in the east, but from the
first the detectives believed that this
was simply ruse to throw them OIL
the right track. Late last week 1t
was learned that Wilcox had gone to
Nevada, and the authorities of all
mining camps were notified to be on
the lookout for the fugitive. Wilcox
is an assayer and the detectives cal
culated that he would make an at
tempt to obtain work in some assay
office. The arrest of the fugitive
proved that they were correct in thelr
calculations.
A detective will be sent to Wells to
take charge of Wilcox as soon as the
necessary extradition papers can be
secured.

NOT TRY FOR THIRD
TERM TO PLEASE WIFE
PRESIDENT SAID TO HAVE PROM
ISED SPOUSE TO RETIRE FROM
POLITICAL ACTIVITY.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Capitol
gossips assert Theodore Roosevelt
will keep his promise not to run
again for the presidency and in that
retirement he will not only be fulfill
ing his promise to the people but the
pledge to his wife.
Mrs. Roosevelt long ago informed
close friends that her husband and
she decided, as a family affair, not
political one, that he would leave
the White House March a, 1909.
Mrs. Roosevelt reluctantly has con-
sented to introduce her younger
daughter Ethel, aged 16, to Wash
ington society, probably in Christmas
week of 1908. Mrs. Roosevelt is de-
termined to shield Ethel from the
publicity that came to Alice Roose-
welt, and she would prefer that the
former girl wait until the family
should be established in private life
Still, she realizes what it is for any
girl to make her social bow in the
White House and for that reason she
will grant to Ethel just three months
as a social grown-up with the crown
ing joy of the inaugural ball; if the
chief personages at that fete be con-
genial to the Roosevelts.
