Spanish Emeraids.

"Fine old Spanish emeralds" Is q
phrase which means something quite
different from what 1t seems to imply.
There never was IN emerald mined in
Spain. but after the conquest Of Peru
the conquerors brought home great
quantities Of loot. Of which emeralds
formed an Important part. In this
way the finest emeralds anne into pos

Colorado Springs, July n.-Mrs.

including her husband. Congressman
Longworth, and Mr.. and Mrs. Medill
Mccormick, Norman Hapgood and w.
B. Conner, we're caught In a frightful
electrical storm on Pixies Peak this
afternoon. The storm broke as they
neared the timber line, and ragged with
almost unparalleled fury as the cog
train pushed on to the summit which
was basking In sunshine. The party
was obliged to stay on top OF the
peak longer than anticipated, rs the
storm continued for several hours.
The party reach Colorado Springs
last evening from Denver, where they
had been attending the national demo-
cratic convention, and the start for
the peak was made at 1886 o'clock
this morning by special train. The
visitors had planned to return to.
Colorado Springs at noon, but the
%ferceness OF the electrical storm pre-
vented this.

Had ! Treat For His Vito.

DR.. George Harvey, a local veter
inary physician. was called to q stable
not long ago to minister to q horse
that was down with collie. 1t was q
serious case. and the doctor saw that
the only way to save the horse would
be to insert a tube in its side and
allow the gas on its stomach to escape.
Just because he thought it would star
tie the owner of his horse Harvey
struck a match and lighted the gas at
the end Of the tube. The man didn't
say much at the time. but he was prop,
erly impressed. He had never heard
Of using a horse for an Illuminating
plant. The next uay when DR.. Har.
vey came around to see how the horse
was getting along-it was all over the
collie then-the owner tapped him on
the shoulder.

draws his salary Of $4,000 q year. OF
those few who may have given the
matter a thought, q large majority do
not know whether he receives his sal
airy monthly, quarterly q semiannual-
~. As q matter OF fact. the salary due
the president IL taken to the White
House by a trusted messenger from the
ONCE Of the treasurer Of the United
States On the last day Of each month
and handed over to the official whose
business 1t Is to look after 1t. The
president receives his salary In the
shape Of q check, the 10000 being d.
vided into eight checks Of $4.166.67 each
and four checks Of $4,186.66 each.
Thus one month out Of every three the
president receives ! cent less on his
check than he does the other two. Some
such arrangement as this IL necessary,
as, Of course, $4,000 Is not exactly d.
