DEATH VALLEY.
The Burning, Blasting Winds That
Sweep This Arid Waste.

The Burning, Blasting Winds That
Sweep This Arid Waste.
The prevailing winds in Death val
ley are from the west, Though origi-
mating IN the Pacific ocean and sat
urated with humidity in travelling the
intermediate distance, they are inter-
cepted by the lofty peaks Of four
ranges Of mountains, which absorb all
Of their moisture, SO that by the time
they reach the valley all humidity has
disappeared. The blasts are as If
heated in fiery furnace, and no liv-
ing thing can survive the intense heat.
Even birds indigenous to the region
die.
1t is in the months of greatest heat
that the sandstorms Of Death valley
are most deadly. They rage with in
tense fury, ohliterating the landscape
and dimming the light of the sun,
whitening the scanty vegetation and
covering the trails deep in powdered
dust. At all times the aspect of the
valley is superlatively desolate. No
spot on earth surpasses it in aridity or
Tophet-like heat.
During the heated term an hour
without water means death. Meat be-
comes pufrid in an hour. Eggs are
cooked in the blistering sand. Water
is only palatable by means of large,
porous, earthenware jars. common to
all hot countries. suspended in drafts
and reduced in temperature by means
of the rapid evaporation of the mois-
ture from the outside.

BROWN FAVORS
new STATE LIBRARY
Appropriation Will Be Asked
Of Legislature.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 21.-An ap-
preparation of not less than 100000
for the erection of a state library
building, to be used also by the state
Board Of Education, the Museum, the
Library Commission, the offices of the
Indiana Historical society and the In
diana Academy of Science will be ask
ed of the next session of the legisla-
ture. At present all OF these offices
are in the state house, but the steady
growth of the library and the bust
ness in the other offices has made a
separate building necessary, library
officers say.
Demarchus G. Brown, state librari-
an, has fostered the idea, and he will
have the appropriation presented to
the assembly at the proper time.
AT the present rate of the growth
of the library" said Mr.. Brown, 1T
will have reached its capacity in about
two years, if it is to remain in the

continue to grow, Of course, the new
building would not be necessary, but

MAYOR JOHNSON
NOT DEAD BROKE
Better Off Than He Pretends
To Believe, 1t Is De-
clared.
FRIENDS TO ASSISTANCE.
LARGE SUMS OF MONEY ARE OF
FERED BUT SECRETARY TO
cLEvELAND'S EXECUTIVE RE-
FUSES THEM ALL.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 21.-While
only Mayor Johnson knows the extent
of his resources, all external evidence
which could be uncovered went to
show that the mayor may be far bet
ter off financially than he pretends to
believe-in fact that his financial con-
dition is practically what it has been
for three or four years past.
Much of this estate was invested in
the Lehigh Valley Traction system.
This was taken over by Philadelphia
peaple at a good figure some years ago,
it is claimed.
Within brief time, also, the mayor
rebonded the New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania Traction company, which he con-
trolls, for 81 100000 A year or so
ago. Harvey Fiske & Son, New York
bankers advertised about 100000 Of
these bonds, put up with them as col
lateral, for sale. A hurried trip was
made by the mayor to New York and
the bonds were not sold. 1t is this
firm which is now said to be pressing
for payment.
The mayor is heavily interested in
the Depositors bank here, but it is
solvent, so there can be little loss
there. He is also heavily interested
in big land company at Lorain, but
this property will pay out in time.
Things Look Brighter.
MY affairs look brighter today"
Mayor Johnson said. No action has
yet been taken by creditors to throw
him into bankruptcy, and as far as can
be learned among Cleveland attorneys
no such suit is contemplated. He is
without cash and his income has prac-
tically vanished, an associate declered.
Friends thronged the mayors office
in the city hall Friday. Many wanted
to help. Here's $1,000 cash." said
one man. Il want to give it to Mayor
Tom"
Others offered sums ranging from
$500 to 81 900. All of these offers
were declined by Burr Gongwer, the
mayors secretary.

A CHINESE STORY.
Tho Noted Liar Who Had q Fairi,
Competent Spouse.

Tho Noted Liar Who Had q Fairly
Competent Spouse.
A noted liar once told a friend that
he had at home three precious things
q bullock which could run 500 miles a
day, fowl which crowed at the begin
ming of each watch, day and night, and
a dog that could read books. The friend
intimated that he would lose no time in
seeing these marvels with his own
eyes. The man did not expect this, as
his house was somewhat distant, so he
went home and told his wife that he
had got caught at last and that tomor-
row the man would arrive and he
would be disgraced.
Never mind" said the spouse.
Leave that to me. 1t will be all right,
only you meat keep out of sight"
Next morning the visitor arrived and,
being met by the mistress, asked where
her husband was.
"He has gone to Pekin." she replied.
when will he be backT'
"In eight or nine days"
"Why, how can he be so qusck?"
He has gone off on our fast bullock
and SO can do 1t easily"
II hear you have also wonderful
fowl" said the visitor. And, behold, as
he was speaking a small cock crew.
That's it." said the wife. "He crows
at the beginning Of each watch and
also when visitor arrives"
Il would also like to see the learned
dog" he said.
"Ah." said she. Il am sorry; but. you
see, we are very poor. and so he keeps
a school in the city."-Scrap Book.

A CAT AND A CANARY.

They Went Away Separately, but Came
Back Together.
A lady friend Of mine, says an Eng
lish writer, has as pets canary and a
cat The two were the best of good
friends, and when the birds prison
door was opened it would come out
and perch on the cats back while it
trilled forth a song Of gladnesS.
One day my friend left her two pets
together, and on her return the bird
was nowhere to be found. Pussy was
curled up on a cushion, sleeping con-
tentedly, and my friend jumped to the
conclusion that the cat was answer
able for the birds disappearance, con-
sequently she caught up the cat and.
holding the supposed delinquent be-
fore the empty cage. beat it rather
mercilessly. Poor pussy mewed pite-
ously, but her relentless mistress put
her outside and shut the door against
her.
Next morning, feeling rather asham-
ed of her outburst. she made inquiries
about the cat. but pussy was gone.
Some days later she heard a faint
scratching at her window, and on open
ing the easement a cat crept in and
laid a bedraggled canary at her feet.
At first she did not recognize her pets
in the two disreputable looking objects
before her. When she did recognize
them her delight was great.
Presumably the canary had gone out
by the open window, and, finding liber-
ty sweet, 1t had flown to a neighboring
wood. How the cat found the bird and
brought it back uninjured is a mys-
fery

STUPID SHEEP.
They Are About tho Most Senseless Of
All Animals.

They Are About tho Most SenseIess Of
All Animals.
A Colorado ranchman declares that
no animal that walks is as big a fool
as sheep.
1--WE have to watch them every min
ute, and if vigilance is relaxed for an
instant the entire flock is likely to
practically commit suicide. In han
ding most animals some degree of self
help or intelligence can be relied on to
aid the owner in saving their lives, but
sheep seem to set deliberately to work
to kill themselves.
IF caught in storm on the plains
they will drift before the wind and
die of cold and exposure rather than
move a hundred yards to windward to
obtain shelter in their corral. To drive
sheep against the wind is absolutely
impossible. I once lost over 1000 head
because l could not drive them to a
corral not 200 feet away.
''In the corral they are still more
foolish. If a storm comes up they all
move down wind until stopped by the
fence. Then commences the proceed
ing so much dreaded by sheepmen
known as 'piling.' The sheep will
climb over each others backs until
they are heaped up ten feet high. OF
course all those at the bottom are
smothered. Not one has sense enough
to seek shelter under the lee of the
fence, as a horse or dog would do.
again, if a sheep gets into quick
sand its fate teaches nothing to those
that come Immediately after, but the
whole flock will follow it's leader to
destruction. No more exasperatingly
stupid animal than a sheep walks
