The United States Land and 1rriga-
tion Congress, held at the Coliseum in
Chicago, November Goth to December
5th, represented perhaps the largest
collection of farm exhibits ever seen in
the United States. There were large
working models of farms and irrigation
projects faithfully reproduced, giving
the easterners very clear idea of the
manner in which farming in the west
is conducted.
At this great show, held under the
auspices of the Chicago Tribune, the
immense agricultural wealth of the
west was displayed to thousands of
spectators who daily thronged the asles
during the two weeks of the exposition.
The congress was of vast educational
value and will do wonders in interest
ing the people of the east in agricul-
tural lands-and especially western ir-
rigated lands.
Among the features of the land show
We're the ostriches from Salt River
Valley. Arizona, and the Santa Fe rail-
roads adobe building. where two fami-
lies of Navajo Indians We're kept busy
weaving blankets and making silver
jewelry.
One of the most interesting depart
ments was the lecture room, where lee
lures. illustrated by colored views, and
moving pictures We're listened to by
crowds throughout each afternoon and
evening.

and experiment stations explained diff,

Stockmen estimate that giant wolf
killed by Ed Neil, Texan, few days
ago, near Bagg, Wyoming, has cost
them 81, 600 during the time he was at
large, living off the herds of the dis
trict. The shot which brought down
the animal was a remarkable one, Neil
sending bullet through the creatures S
head at measured range of 600 yards.
The wolf was one of the largest ever
killed in Wyoming, the hide being about
the size of that of 2-year-old steer.

Colorado hotel men are opposed to
making the state ''dry. They claim
that such action will be prejudicial to
tourist trade and will spoil business.
Apparently the liquor interests will
have the hotel men lined up solid in the

the next session of the legislature.

BOYS.

At recent Bombay school board
examination, one of the tasks was an
essay on boys, and this was one of
the compositions just as it was hand
ed IN 10y girl of twelve:
"The boy is not an animal yet they
can be heard to a considerable dis
tance. When a boy boilers he opens
his big mouth like frogs but girls
hold their tongue till they are spoken
to, and then they answer respectable,
and tell just how it was. A boy
thinks himelf clever because he can
wade where it is deep. but God made
the dry land for every living thing,
and rested on the seventh day. When
the boy grows up he is called hus-
band, and then he stops wading and
stays out at nights, but the grew-up
girl is a widow and keeps house. -

ity lined with microscopic black dia d.
monds. The way they came TO find
them was that the circular disc they
we're trying to slice off cross sec
tionwith broke and they we're obliged
to break open the aerolite, and when
they cracked 1t open there was a
little cavity lined with diamonds, and
it was those little microscopic crystals
which had broken the steel.
Nov, whether those stones exist
ed in the aerolite when it left its
mysterious starry home, or whether
they were formed by the excessive
friction and changed conditions it
encountered after it entered our
atmosphere of course no man knows,
but ] incline to the opinion they
we're already there when the stone

ct Is possible that gold may be
held in solution. and that under some
peculiar conditions it might be de-
posted by Nature, but as to the
stories we sometimes hear concerning
its unaccountable appearance in
mines or lodges which were previous
ly known to be barren. just put me
down as a skeptic."
Henry q. Hanks, eminent as
scientific authority, and who served
as mineral commissioner for the
whole United States during the great
Paris Exposition several years ago,
nses the following words:
"rhere can be no doubt but that
gold is in the process OF manufacture,
or more properly speaking, In
Natures laboratory, it is all the
while being put in place. Owing to
the peculiar qualities which it posses
SEES, Nature seems to be contir uaIly
carrying the minute particles through
the solid rock ana gathering them to-
getheI, as it we're. UnquestionRbly
this process is going on throughout
the mines of the world, and new de-
posits are being made in barren rock.
In certain abandoned mines in Aus
tralia. in which operations ihave been
resumed after a considerable Der
of years, not only have rock deposits
been found to have become enriched
during the period of inaction, but
old beams and timbers we're impreg

EARLY ADVERTISEMENTS.

One of the first English printed
advertisements was handbill or post
er got out by Caxton in 14s0 and read
ing: "Pyes of Salisbury
~ good and chepe if 1T
please any man spirituel or tempore
to bye. -
Ibis was not bakers advertise
ment. Caxton had printed " Pyes"
or clerical rules telling how the
clergy at Salisbury dealt with the
changing date of Easter; and as the
clergy could read he was bold enough
to print advertisements of his
"Pyes.''
For two centuries after it was in
troduced printing, which should have
doomed advertising If advertising
depended primarily upon printing
had little or no effect upon it. The
public had to be reached by the rebus
over the shop, the public crieIs in
towns and by boys in front of stalls
calling, "What dye lack, master?
What d 'ye laok?"
Even public notices posted in eathe-
drals and other frequented places
we're seldom printed, says writer in
System. So few copies were required
for the few readers that they were
cheaper hand written.
And even the newspapers, when the
civil wars in England in the seven
teenth century brought them forth
and they began to develop readers,
had an extraordinarily small effect in
developing advertising.
Book notices, rewards for the arrest
of runaway servants, and thieves and
the announcements of quacks began
to appear about 1862. And little
later the germ OF modern advertising
began to develop in the Mercurius
Politicus, the Kingdoms InteIli-
gencer and the Publick Advertiser
and others III an effort to introduce
tea. coffee and chocolate into Eng
laud, thus:
Tea: "'rhat excellent and by all
physItiuns approved China drink
called by the Chineans Teha, by other
Nations lay, alias lee"
Coffee The grain or berry called
coffee, growing only upon little lees
in the deserts Of Arabia. Brought
from thence and as drunk generally
throughout all the Grand SeIgnor a
dominons. 1t is simple, Innocent
thing composed into drink"
And chocolate: can excellent
Vest India drink called chocolate. -
The contrast Between popular de-
pendence upon advertising then and
now can not be better shown than by
the experience after the great London
fire.
In 1866 London WAS practically WHIP
ed out by fire. The printer of the
London Gazette, with almost pro-
phetlc acumen offered his columns
for notices of new locations Of shops,
But though practically every import
ant shop IN the city was moved, there
was absolutely no response to this
offer. The old locations had never
been known through the newspapers,
so why should anyone look there for
the new?
At the present time, after a large
lire in an American city the news
papers are flied with notices of the
new locations and restorations OF
business.

The death list for Ell Dorado during
1908 was large for a county of such
small population. But where such
large proportion Of the population is
we'll along in years a large death rate
must naturally be expected. Last
year there we're 13l deaths in the
county. 81 of whom were males and 30
females. The excess of deaths among
male residents is easily accounted for
because of the large number of un-
married miners, lum bermen and labor
ers who have lived here for years
During 1908, II births were reported,
46 OF whom were boys and 40 girls.
This would Indicate a loss in popuIa-
tion of 40 because of excess of deaths
over births in the county. but the
coming in of new settlers has more
than made up this apparent loss of
population. Nugget.

10 ask where the man was, but II wal
some time before she could make Mr.
Van Torp understand what she meant
AS II to help her out OF her difficulty
the sun shone through the clouds al
that moment and streamed into the
room; she pointed to It at once
turned her back to 1t, and then held
out her right hand to indicate the
east, and her left to the west.
"oh. yes" said Van Torp. who had
seen Indians do the same thing, at
was west of here that I bought it OF
him, a good way west"
He pointed in that direction, and
thrust out his arm as II he would
make 1t reach much further II he
could. At this Barak looked deeply
disappointed. Several times, to show
that she meant London, or at least
England, she pointed to the floor at
her feet and looked inquiringly at Van
Torp. but he shook his head and
pointed to the west again, and made a
gesture that meant crossing some.
thing. He spoke to her as II she could
understand.
"rve got your meaning" he said.
You're after the big man with the
yellow beard. who is selling rubies
from the same place. and has very
likely gone on with yours. He looked
like bad egg in spite of his hand
some face"
He turned his eyes thonghtfully to
the window. Barak plucked gently at
his sleeve and pretended to write In
the palm Of her left hand. and then
went through all the descriptive ges-
lures again. and then once more pre-
tended to write. and coaxingly pushed
him towards little table on which
she saw writing materials.
You'd like to have his address,
would you. Miss Barrak? I wonder
why you don't call in your interpreter
and tell me SO. II would be much
simpler than all this dumb crambo."
Once more he made a step towards
the door. but she caught at his sleeve
and entreated him in her own Ian
guage not to call any one. and her
voice was SO deliciously soft and be-
seeching that he yielded. and sat down
at the small table and wrote out an
address from memory. He handed her
the half-sheet of paper when he had
dried the writing and had looked over
it carefully.
Poor little thing" he said i'm a
tone OF pity. III you ever find him
he'll eat you"
Barak again showed signs of great
emotion when she put the address
into an inside pocket of her mans
coat, but il was not of the same kind
as before. She took Van Torp's big
hand in both her own. and. bending
down. she laid 1t on her head. meaning
that he might dispose of her life ever
afterwards. But he did no, under
stand.
You want my blessing. do you. Miss
Barrack? Some people don't think
Rrassy Van Torp's blessing worth
much. young lady. but you're welcome
to 1t. such as It Is"
He patted her thick hair and smiled
as she looked up. and her eyes were
dewy with tears.
