if they can, and indct every relative and
friend of the slayer who had aided and
abetted him in his efforts to escape and
to dodge the officers of the law. This is

had ever heard of white men being ac-

Governor Noel and his military staff left
here yesterday at 2:30 for Washington,
where they will participate in the festivi-
ties incident to the Inauguration of Pres
ident Taft. The party travelled via the
Illinois Central to Louisville, thence to
Cincinnati and on east. Arriving at the
national capital, they will make their
home in the car in which they travelled.
Just before leaving for Washington
Governor Noel announced the appointment
of ]. NJ Cashin of Greenville as judge of
the Fourth circuit district, vice Judge
Sydney Smith, who was last week pro-
NOTED to place on the supreme court
bench. -
Judge Smiths resignation of the circuit
judgeship takes effect on May s, just two
days before he is due to begin his term
on the supreme bench.
Mr.. Cashin is said by those who are
competent to judge, and who have the
pleasure of his acquaintance, to be one
of the foremost of the young lawyers of
delta section of the state, and to be in
every way worthy the mantle that is soon
to fall to his shoulders.
There were three or four applicants for
the place, but it is believed that the Sc
lection made by the governor will give
very general satisfaction, even to those
who recommended others for the place.

We are really becoming quite vain

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
From the New York Press

The only time a girl can't pretend is
when she is seasick
The more money you could make in
any business the surer somebody else
is to own 1t.
What surprises a woman is not how
beautiful her children are but how much
more beautiful they are than anybody
else's.
One of the ambitions that the average
girl has Is to speak to a strange man just
because the thought of it scares her so
she never would.
If a man knows what a millionaire
looks like from seeing his pictures in the
newspapers, he will try to give the nm
preston they are on intimate terms.

VAIN AMBITION.

He built house upon the sand
Oh, foolish wight;
The oceans waves crept Ger the strand
And swept from sight
The work of weary, weary years
He'd fain sublime
With wasting toll and bitter tears.
The waves were Time,
The house he built was worldly fame,
The sand was mems esteem,
More idle than an idle name
The substance of a dream.

Preparing a Theatre Stage.

1.-THE work of setting and preparing a
theatre stage for the evenings perform
ance of a play has ever been a fascin-
ating feature of the mimic world, and 1t
supplies work for an army of men who
are skilled in this particular branch of
human endeavor," said Richard Lambert,
business manager for Edna Wallace
Hopper Take, for instance, the produc-
ton of so Miles From Boston 1t is a
very. heavy production In scenic way
and requires 81 men, all told, to work
it, OF these 10 are in the fly galleries,
five on each side, who manipulate the
numerous lines which carry the drops re-
ouired in the several acts. Twelve more,
including the carpenter and his assistant
grips are required on the stage proper,
while the chief and assistant electrician
of the company are reinforced by the
house staff, to the number of nine or
more. Each of these men has his individ-
ual work in the several departments. The
men in the flies do nothing but manipu-
late the lines as directed by the carpen-
ter from the stage far below, while the
grips set, strike and reset the scenes as
directed by the same autocrat back of the
curtain line.
Electricity plays very important part
in stage production, and the chief cleo
trician and his ASSISTANT operators, of
which there must be one on every cal
cium light used, are kept busy throughout
the performance, keeping the settings in
perfect condition to the electrical eff
fects, while the chief electrician Of the

GosSIPS.

GOSSIPS.
The world is full of gossipers,
A busy, carping lot
Who like to spread a tale abroad,
If truth it is or not.
They spend their time retailing filth
And pour in willing ear
A twice or thrice enlarged account
Or all the bad they hear.
They pay no heed to aching hearts,
Or other peoples pain;
When some poor brother goes astray
The gossips count it gam
And like a flock of vultures gloat
Upon his fallen state,
Nor ever shed tear to see
Him meet so hard a fate.
A woman's character is smirehed
With smiles and knowing winks,
For scandal mongers state as facts
What Madam Rumor thinks.
No matter how improbable
The last report may be,
They drag around its garbled form
With most internal glee.
oh, what a pleasant place to live
In this old world would be.
From how much needless sorrowing
And secret anguish free,
If there were no more gossiping,
No idle tongues to clack
And charity would make amends
For noble traits we lack.
How sweet 'twould be when we're away
To know our humble fame
Is not discredited and we
Are not held up to blame
BY persons who pretend that they
Are faithful friends and true,
And yet behind our backs find fault
With everything we do!

Gold Mininu In Colorado.

"Gold mining in Colorado has become
quite as matter of fact as coal mining in
Alabama" said A. ]. Quartz HID
Smith of Central City, Colo.
There are many men in my section,
practical miners, who have dug snug for
tunes out of the earth. Take, for instance,
Jake Lightenen and his son, who were
very poor men. They took lease on a
small claim belonging to the Gregory
Buell. people about two years ago. In
less than two years they cleared up $4,000
net. The owners of course refused to re-
new the lease.
I'm the matter of locating mining claims
there are some differences. In four coun-
ties in Colorado claim is limited to 150
feet by 1900. In all the other counties it
is 800 by 1900 feet. In Utah, Wyoming
and New Mexico the area is 800 by 1900.
"Prospectors first locate spot with a
vein or outcrop that has not been taken
up. The law requires that the miner or
owner shall sink hole 10 feet in 60 days
and feet 10 inches will not give a good
title A hundred dollars worth of work
must be shown before survey is made.
Ten feet of depth is per Sc sufficient for
this, with an affidavit, although this work
costs only SIS or $40 actually. To hold
the claim and secure a patent prospectors
must do $500 worth of work. on continuous
work. for year. On January l many
persons do light work for a day or two
to hold their claims.
"After expanding $500 and making sur
vey patent can be secured from the
government for an outlay of $3.50; then the
titlesrests with the party holding the
patent until decided by him. These pro-
visions have been made to prevent mere
grabbers from squatting on many claims
for speculative purposes or to prevent
them from shutting out real miners from
working the many paying veins"
