 To prove that mining stock invest ments pay, that they are safe, that they are more than ordinarily praflt- able, note the following as taken from various authorities:
 1000 shares in the Homestake South Dakota pays $60oo annually.
 $1,oO0 in the Tamarack pays s6,ooo annually.
 1000 shares in the Calumet and Iecla pays $S9 10 annually.

PITTsBURG Is GoULD's MOSCOW
Wabash Railroad to Retreat from
Smoky City Within Month.

Pittsburg, June 9.-Within a month
the Wabash railroad practically will
have deserted Pittsburg. and one of
the most monumental failures of rail-
reading will have been recorded.
Today the announcement was made
in this city that with the beginning of
next month all Offices of the Wabash,
Pittsburg terminal. the entrance of the
Gould lines into Fittsburg, will be re-
moved to Cleveland. while all offices
Of the Wheeling & Lake Erie, the other
Gould line. which yesterday asked for
the appointment of receiver, will be
removed to Toledo,
B. A. Worthington, vice president and
general manager of both roads, who
yesterday was appointed receiver of the
Wheeling & Lake Erie. will remove his
entire official family from the million
dollar building the Wabash erected in
this city to Toledo.
The driving of the Wabash from the
Pittsburg district is considered a great
victory for the Pennsylvania and Wander
bilt lines. The Carnegie Steel company
will abrogate it's contract with the
Wabash. which provided that the latter
should receive % per cent Of the west
ern business, because of the inability OF
the company to handle it out Of Pitts
burg.

Hammond Young Man
EntertaiflS Naval Pal

Away from the briny deep, on whose
rocking pillows he tossed for more than
six years, away from the jolly tars and
MS messmates on the proud battleship
the Louisiana, homeward bound for the
inland metropolis, Cincinnati, along the
Ohio river. whose ripping waters first
instilled a love in him for the ocean
waves, Raymond ]. Volz is spending a
fortnight in Hammond with Ed Nc
Fadden of 175 South Holman street.
Volz and McFadden were shipmates
on the battleship Texas five years ago
and on it parted company when the
Louisiana was put into commission.
Volz having been ordered to the Louis
ana. Soon after McFadden quit the
navy where he served as coxswain and
came to Hammond where he has been
ever since, and volE continued his sailer
career on the Louisiana and he in
the meantime was made a petty of
ficer-coxswain.
Went Around the Horn.
Volz, under Captain Joe wainwright.
made the trip around Cape Horn with
Rear Admiral Bob" Evans, and his
service time having expired he left the
fleet at San Francisco coming overland
OA Ills way " he COulO
not, however, forego an opportunity to
visit his former messmate of the Texas,
with whom he ate and slept and made
merry, before going back to Cincinnati,
and there make up his mind which way
he should now head his own ship in
order to land in a safe harbor, three
score or more years hence.
Although Volz has been in the navy
practically seven years. he is only %
years old and the way he got into the
navy is not extraordinary. when it will
be remembered that boys will be boys,

There is general drill from nine-thirty

are at liberty again until four-thirty.
Luncheon is served at noon. At four
thirty there is again inspection of
quarters and muster and then supper
at six o'clock. At seven thirty the
hammocks are lowered and by nine

What was the best fun you had on
your cruise from Hampton Roads to

An Equatorial Initiation. :.
The funniest incident" he contin-
ued, was the initiation across the line
as the stunt is known. The initiation
is carried out by all the sailors who
have crossed the equator. A degree
team is formed and they take charge
of the ship; everybody, including all
the officers who have never crossed
| the line being at their command or
pay forfeit. The degree team initi-
ates the candidates across the line
and everything in that grotesque act
is done in the name of the God Nep-
tune. The candidates are put through

batteries lodge work, etc, take
prominent part. On board the Louis

When the Union Pacific railroad was
first built the point of highest altitude
was at station named Sherman.
1t was upon this eminence that Cakes
Ames, the real builder of the road, put
granite monument to perpetuate his
memory. 1t was much admired.
But alas for the egotism of man!
Years passed. Cakes Ames died, and
the worms gnawed his bones Econ
omy required that the track should be
Strengthened to shorten distance and
avoid heavy grades. A short cut was
made, and the massive rock pile built
by Cakes Ames now stands FOUR
TEEN MILES FROM THE PRES
ENT TRACK.
You may see it far away on the rim
OF the horizon. In the tangled wilder
ness the artificial heap of stones looks
like mere speck-pathetic reminder
OF mans puny effort to project his
memory to future times.
But Cakes Ames is not forgotten. He
is remembered in another way.
Anes was an inventor and manufac-
turer. He made the Ames shovel. His
Ames No. or railroad shovel was de
signed for getting under the sides and
ends of railroad ties. He also made a
''tamper," for tamping earth and bal
last and other railroad tools. These
tools are used everywhere in the rail
road world today.

can be of use.
He can open new road, or make q

or plant tree
He can train up a child for useful

He can write or picture or say some
thing to help men bear their burdens.
He can fight the dragons of evil away

The poor dog is the under dog in this
rabies scare, and all our sympathies
are with him. 1t seems, having once
given the dog a bad name. it was all
up with him, and the least thing he
does is Rscribed to that fateful dis
ease. Even packing dogs in the Arctic
regions have come in for their share
of the prevailing abuse. Why terror
and starvation should not transform
a faithful animal into a species of
wild beast. is more than reason can
make out, but 1t is singular how little
reason superior man evinces in such
an epidemic or crisis. Scarcely a day
passes that we do not see street chill
dren teasing some unfortunate cur that
has either strayed into their company
or is the pet of one of them. The
dog yaps and jumps at first, as in play;
then it resents the attacks, and, finally.
there's rough house in a vengeance,
somebody gets nipped or bitten. and a
foolish shout. Mad dogp' begins a
chase that would drive an angel crazy.
Cruel treatment gets on a dogs nerves.
and the lack of drinking water makes
