wEsTERNER MOST DELIBERATE.
Gets Second Naturalization Papers
After Waiting Sc Years.

Denver Col.-Making up his mind
after Sc years Of elaboration, William
Edwin Mathews, who had taken out
his first papers that length of time
ago, concluded that he would like to
die IS an American citizen, and he
asked the court for second papers.
Mathews age is now rs.
When clerk asked Mathews for
his first papers the aged stockman
shook his head "They were destroyed
in the Chicago fire. he said. "All
saved was coat and pair of trous-
ers."
The explanation was considered sat
isfactory and Mathews became a citi-
zen of the United States. When the
final papers were given him he smiled
and said that he should have become
a citizen many years ago.
Mathews is the father of 23 chill
dren, all living in the west, where
they nave become wealthy and pros
porous, He tried hard to remember
all their names, but in vain He
went as far as Evelyn, Thomas, James,
John, Robert, Jeanette, Richard, Ma
tilda, William, Samuel, Louise, Edwin
Martha and Josephine. Then he added
that he had generally found it neces-
sary to look in "the book" and see
whenever he desired accurately to go
over the entire list of his children.
AS a young man Mathews entered
the English army, serving in many
lands. After coming to America he
served in both the infantry and caval-
ry. of the United States regulars dur
ing Indian wars following the rebel
lion, being honorably discharged from
the Fifth United States regulars July
10, 1870.
Mathews now owns a large stock
farm at Mount Vernon, near Golden.

the other day when his wagon broke

of dynamite, which, fortunately for
Christley, was not exploded by the fall.
But he knew that the express was due,
and soon heard the whistle a mile

and tagged the train. 1t stopped with

Kansas City Man Was Promised All
Good Things by CIairvoyant.

Kansas City, Mo-Only the irony
of fate decreed that A. M. Goodridge,
who was found dead in his room on
West Twelfth street, should not become
wealthy and happy man. Homeless
and among strangers, his letters, now
in the possession of Coroner Thomp
son, show that he has for years been
wandering about the country seeking
wealth and home. He had been in
Kansas City only one month and was
known to no one. The other day he
did not appear as usual, and on inves,
tigation he was found lying dead in
his room. The coroner said death
was due to heart failure. Goodridge
was about go years old.
Among other letters found on his
person was one from clairvoyant and
fortune teller in Chicago. 1t contained
the usual presages of loves final con
quest and dreams of immense wealth
Among other things it said:
you will have long spell of seri
GUS sickness, but you will ultimately
recover.
"You will inherit large lranch in
South Dakota.
you will marry woman you have
never met.
"She will have a considerable
amount of money and you will live to-
gether happily"

WALL STREET.
Origin of tho Western Hemisphere
Most Famous Thorouuhfaro,

On the morning Of March 81, 1914, q
man of clerkly appearance might have
been seen standing at the entrance to
the dilapidated fortress OF New Am
sterdam with Il sheaf of official papers
In his hand. 1t was not an inviting
prospect which confronted the observer
that raw spring morning, for the
roughly built wooden houses scattered
about the fort looked sadly weather
beaten, and the struggling, i'll made
roads and paths which served as streets
were Uttered with refuse and rubbish
of every sort and ankle deep in mud.
The man ut the fort did not, how
ever, waste much time in gazing at
these diScouraglng surroundings. They
were familiar TO him in every dreary
detail, for Cornelis Van Tienhovcn had
been secretary of the council at New
Amsterdam for many years, and If he
had ever been disturbed by the pre-
vailing Indebtedness of the town it
had long since ceased to afford him
the slightest concern. Slowly turning
his back to the view. he tackled one of
his official documents to the wall of
the fort and then, swinging about and
picking his way across the miry
ground to II convenient tree, affixed an
other paper.
Van TienhOVcn'S handwriting was
easily read. Indeed, good p]cnmanship
was the only qualification he had ever
displayed for his office. and that virtue
had wholly failed to cndear him to the
populaCc, who hated the very sight of
his clerical. fist. The particular notice
he had Transcribed that morning, how
ever, was Singularly free from ofTcnSc.
1t merely rccited Il resolution of the di-
rector and council Of New Nctherland
that Il barrier be erected at the north
Of the settlement sufficiently strong TO
prevent the straying of cattle and to
protect them from the Indians and
warned" all Interested persons to ap-
pear on next y )ndny, the 4th Of
April. Mt Z o'clock" for the prosecution
OF his work.
1t was not long, therefore, before
the %cOlOnists were hard at work at the
projected cattle guard, and within n
few days ii stood completed. There Is
no authoritative information as to how
1t was constructed. but there is evil
dcncc that 1t COZ sisted mainly of I'M
trimmed trees felled at the edge of the
adjoining forest and piled together to
form n sort of barricade and that its
northern line, running certainly from
the present William street, New York
city, to what is now Broadway and
possibly from shore to shore, marked
the farthcst limits of New Amsterdam,
as 1t then existed, and practically de-
tcrmined the location of Wall street.

In Asia aud Africa the natives pos

faculty was furnished during the In
dian frontier expedition against the
Waziris in 1895. Sevcnty-fvc miles rs

tain roads from their base at Shcik
Budin h British troops defeated the
WaZiriS. Heavy mist prevented the
news of this success being hcliograph.
ed until the following day, when, com
munication being opened up, the Brit
iSh officer at Shcik Budin anticipated
he news of the victory by stating he
had been Informed Of it by natives on

The most famous instance of this sort
is associated with the assassination OF

Founder Of Electrical Science.

DR.. Gilbert Of Colchester, England, is
generally considered as the founder of
the science of electricity. He appears
to have been the first philosopher to
repeat carefully the observations Of
he ancients and apply to them the
principles Of scientific investigation.
In order to determine If other bodies
possessed the same property as amber
he balanced n light metallic needle on
a pivot and observed whether or not 1t
was affected by causing the excited or
rubbed body to approach it. IN this
way he discovered hat many bodies
possessed the property Of attracting
light substances. Gilbert also discov-
cred the fact that atmospheric condi-
tons have much to do with electrical
phenomena. Gilbert's book. "Dc Mag.
netc," may be fairly considered the
pioneer work in electrical SCIENCE

The Stone AGE.

The stone age still exists among some
of the islanders Of the south Pacific and
the Eskimos of the extreme north as
well rs in Il few other spots here and
there on the earth. The progress OF
early culture in Europe seems to have
been from the south and east toward
the north and west, so that the cmcr-
gcnce OF the different peoples from
their age of stone was accomplished
much earlier in southern and eastern
Europe than in the north and west.
But, while the stone age of different
areas is thus not necessarily synchro-
nous, 1t seems to be true OF all Euro
pean areas that this is the earliest con-
dition In which man has appeared upon
them. This holds for all other areas as
well, evidences Of the stone age having
been fully established in India, China,
Japan, Africa and the Americas.

with their farm work and if nothing

N Mt. Gallagher school has pur-

the State ought to have one. 1t is a
benefit to both teacher and pupil. 1t
helps the teacher to explain to the pu-

brary, and they should be compelled to.
The establishment of school libraries is
n OF the greatest helps toward train
ing children we have. They spend their
leisure time in reading good literature,
something that will be beneficial to
their future welfare. Everybody ought
TO take an interest in establishing these
libraries; some people never give it one
thought. They think if a man can read
and write that it is enough, but the
time has come when a man starts out
in this old world without an education
he would be better off if he had not
started.
