IN THE NIGHT SEASON,
Young Woman Wakes to the Touch Of
Cold and CIammy Hand.

A young woman who lives in the
East end had a terrible experience a
few nights ago. 1t was awful!
The young woman had curled up in
her little bed and gone to sleep
about 1920.
A few hours later she woke up. Still
half asleep, she stretched about lazily,
and as she did so her hand clutched
something that made her awaken the
rest of the way in hurry. She felt
the cold hand of what seemed to be
a corpse!
1t is always more or less disconcert-
ing for one who supposes she is alone
in bed to wake up in the night and get
hold of the hand of a total stranger.
But when the hand is that of corpse
the situation is even more annoying.
Occasionally one is introduced to a
it is the exception when one comes in
contact with one in the middle of the
night.
In this case, the young woman was
startled to the screaming point. She
controlled herself for a moment,
though, for her second thought was
that she had only imagined she felt
lifeless hand Tremblingly, she
reached out after the hand again.
1t was still there, as cold and clammy
and frightful as ever. She screamed
cen second and third time. They
were good, full-blown screams, too
They brought the rest of the family,
and the light was turned on.
The light helped the young woman
to solution. The cold, lifeless hand
was still there by her side. But it was
her own hand. She had been lying on
it-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

EFT TU, BUTTER!
Another Old Friend Attacks Us in Our
Most Vital Part.

Another Old Friend Attacks Us in Our
Most Vital Part.
If the food faddists keep on there
will be nothing left up to put in our
mouths except perhaps to suck our
own thumbs contemplatively after
having sterilized the same.
''Bacteriologists have shown us
that ordinary butter is swarming with
germs" declares Good Health. "a
single teaspoonful of milk generally
contains from 100000 to 100000
germs. The number may even be
much larger than this.
I'm the removal of cream from the
milk the germs are taken with it and
in the process of churning the germs
are collected with the fat, so in the
butter We have the concentration of a
large part of the germs contained in
the milk from which the butter was
derived.
80 in a pound of butter derived
from twenty pints of milk the number
of bacteria must be almost beyond es-
innate. A brief computation will
show that the number of bacteria con-
tanned in a pound of butter might easi-
ly reach the enormous sum of five or
ten billions"

The Misplaced Comma.

"Some lawsuits of the highest i'm
portance have hinged upon the right
placing of a comma" said Judge F. c.
Downing of st. Louis.
when 1 first started to practice
law a Missouri editor came to me in
a peck of trouble to defend him
against a threatened libel suit grow
ing out of faulty punctuation. He had
not meant to give some innocent
young woman the slightest Offense
when he wrote story about two young
men who went with their girls to at.
tend a lecture and after they left, the
girls got drunk Putting that misera-
BILE little comma out of its right place
did the work, as it made the girls the
ones who became inebriated instead
of their escorts. 1 managed by prop
er diplomacy and the publication of a
neat apology to stave off the damage
suits, and afterward my editorial
friend became an expert on punctua-
tion."

Sinclair nodded.

Sinclair's regular work was that of

it had puzzled more than those pres
ent to know just how the Flasher peo-
pie had appointed him their CORE

Sinclair gazed through his glasses at
the others, who looked up with cold
unconcern.
Well said Sturgess.
'Well!" exclaimed Sinclair, "but it
isn't well. They want exciting details,

POSTMEN'S WALKING FEATS.
Distance Travelled by Men Long in
British Mail Service

Distance Travelled by Men Long in
British Mail Service.
There mist be. few, even among
men of letters" who, like Joseph
Hunt, Lincolnshire postman, can
claim to have tramped distance of,
roughly, 24C.@0O miles, not much less
than the equivalent Of ten journeys
around the earth, says the Westmin-
ster Gazette.
Not long ago George Thompson
retired from service as postman in
the Langrick district of Yorkshire, af-
ter covering on foot 125,O0O miles in
twenty-six years of letter carrying, a
service fourteen years shorter than
that of his Lincolnshire rival.
In thirty-four years Urni4 81 Brown

tween Cupar ond Kli,ilaiy and Logic
"a distance, as was stated at the ap-
propriate presentation to him of an
easy chair, nearly equal to half that
which separates the moon from the
earth.
John Simmonds of Henley-on-
Thames retired with a record of 49,
900 miles of fair "heel-and-toe, the
result of forty years tramping; while
most amazing of all, Thomas Phipps,
a postman in the Chipping Norton
district, was credited with an aggre-
gate journey of 100000 miles between
the years 1910 and 1898.

After some consultation a paragraph
was concocted, setting forth that the
home secretary, Lord Herbert Barra-
dene, was coming down from London
the following evening in order to place
his famous oratorical powers at the
service of his old college friend Rich
ard Deller, the ministerial candidate
for Ripplestone, and it was sent to the

The next morning, Ricketts,, Stur-
CESS and Bond were at the hotel in

from his bedroom in a state of hope

enigmatical mysterious, maddening
telegram. Sinclair was quite encyclO-
pediacal in his adjectives

No, nothing of the kind They were
actually praising him. TIE message
was brief-it said:
"Congratula tons Good stroke; no
other papers have it."
What did they mean? No other
papers had what? What was a good
stroke? And Sinclair, collarless and
distraught, struck his forehead de-
spairingly.
Ricketts, patted him on the shoulder
reassuringly.
Great Scott" suddenly exclaimed
Bond who was standing by the win
dow looking on the street. Look
Sturgess-whats the meaning of
this?"
Sturgess fastened to the wondow.
A man was posting a huge placard
on some boardings opposite and the
name ''Barradene" already appeared
in flaming letters. The two watched
and presently they read
the full announcement that Lord Her.
bert Barradene, the home secretary,
would speak in the market at Pendle-
by the following night.

neither said word.

KELVIN DISTRICT SHOWS
 GENUINE ACTIVITY

KELVIN, Dee. l5.-A number of men will be put to work on the Troy. Manhattan group of claims at Troy within few days. John Kavanaugh will be in charge and he has sent out a general call to all prospectors in the surrounding hills wanting work to re- port to him at Troy. This property was worked very extensively several years ago and good orc was encounter ed. A number of shafts and tunnels had been made. Miles and miles of good roads wecr built and everything was moving along fine when they sud denly quit all work about a year and a half ago. There was no discernible reason for them quitting unless it might have been the money stringen. ey. which sent SO many other compa. nies to the wall in the past two years. This property is one of the finest in the territory and will no doubt resume operations in the near future. John Award has been in charge of the prop. erty at Troy for long time and thinks very we'll of it.
 The Eagle Mountain Copper Com pany, P. T. McGrath general manager, located on the west side of the valu. able Sultans-Arizona Copper company, and directly opposite the extensive workings of the Ray Consolidated Cop. per Company, who arc at present working about 250 men, are showing up some fine coper ore in a forty.foot shaft not far from the sultana com. pany's workings. Colonel MeGrath is a very deliberate worker and whatev. CT he undertakes he does well. The camp of this company, which com. prises a spacious powder house, a gen. eral machine shop and other buildings necessary for operating first class mine are all in the pink of working order The colonel is building up his property slowly and everything that goes into it is first class. Roads are being built to haul the ore and from all appearances the Eagle Mountain Copper Company is a comer.
 The Sultana.Ari Copper Compa ny is not doing anything at present but big things are looked for from this mine in the near future.
 Work is still going on in the Renfro property in Dripping Spring Wash.

EXPLOSION KILLS THREE.
Trainmen Perish in Boiler Blow-Up
 in s. P. Yards.

YUMA, Dec. 15.-About 2 o'clock Saturday morning, as the east bound freight was pulling down the grade and out of the Beaumont yards, one Of those unfortunate accidents oc-' cured that no one can account for or lay the blame in proper place.
 The train was in charge of Con. ductoT Guy 1T. Brockman and Engin. ger Dave Mcdonald. and the fireman, whose name was Ray Reynolds, and none of them are left to tell the tale.
 A, this point the conductor very frequently climbs aboard the engine and goes down the grade on the front end of his train. This must have been bow t happened that he was there at this time, but why the boiler burst no one will ever know for sure.
 Guy II. Brockman was popular with the Yuma people, respected and loved by large number. He was on the train that runs from here to the upper heading while the big fill was being made that such the river from Salton Sea, and was s young railroader Of much promise. His death is doubly said as he was on only son and main stay for a large family whose home is on Buena Vista street, Los Angeles.
 Dave Mcdonald, the engineer, was not so we'll known, but his friends say that he was one of the whitest men who ever pulled throttle, and could always be counted on to do his duty. For these qualities he was held in very his esteem by the officials under whom be labored.
 The fireman, Ray Reynolds, was also out of Yuma, but was not so well Known as the other boys.
 Brakeman Williams was badly scala cd by escaping steam, and his death may yet be added to the list.
