WESTON SLEEPS LATE
AFTER LONG JOURNEY
AGED Pedestrian Hands Letter to San
Francisco. Postmaster from Head
of the New York Mall
Service

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15.-When
Edward Payson Weston today handed
to Postmaster Arthur G.. Fisk the letter
given him by Postmaster Morgan OF
New York on March Is last, the little
ceremony ended one of the most re-
markable feats of pedestrianism on rec
ord. Although Weston was four days
behind the schedule he had set for him
self when he stepped off the Oakland
ferry last night, the old man was not
down hearted.
ut was a great walk" he said, land
but for unforeseen difficulties and hard
ships in the last three weeks of my
Journey I would have been here on the
hundredth day. Still, I am getting fine
and could do it over again"
Weston slept late this morning, and
was in no hurr-- to deliver his letter to
Postmaster Fisk.
IT dare say it can walt few hours,
he said, and went in to a late breakfast.
1t was after noon when he started from
his hotel to the postoffice, about half a
mile distant, where the postmaster was
waiting for him. The white-haired,
bronzed old man was quickly recog-
nized by the crowds on the streets, and
before he had gone a hundred yards
had a big following that escorted him
to the postoffice and crowded in to see
him deliver his letter and formally end
his long tramp.
Following is the text of the letter
presented by the athlete to Postmaster
Fisk:
"Of1ce of the Postmaster, New York,
March IS, 1909-Hon. Arthur M. Fisk,
Postmaster, San Francisco, Calmly
Dear Mr.. Fisk: This letter will be pre-
sented to you by Mr.. Edward Payson
Weston, a pedestrian. who at Ais p. m,
on the seventieth anniversary of his
birth, will leave this office on a 100-day
walk to San Francisco. 1t Is a big un-
dertaking for a man of Mr.. Weston S
years, or for any man, but he is not
made of the stuff that fails, and from
what I know of his past performances
I am sure that he will make good. Very
truly yours, E. M. MORGAN,

The Los Angeles Giants and the
Santa Ana teams will try conclusions
next Sunday on the JOY park diamond

How to Inciose a Stamp,

There's only one decent way to in close stamp for a reply" said the head of large business, and that is to use one of the stamps from the out side rows of a sheet with blank mar gin that can be stuck upon the letter and leaves the stamp ready for use Any other way either loses the stamp or else spells it for use. But I found to-day trick that is pretty good. Most people inclose the stamp by sticking 1t down at one corner, and then you have to paste that corner down when you use the stamp. The new trick is to wet the stamp in a little space in the center and stick 1t there. It pulls of easily. yet when you use the stamp all the edges have gum enough to stick."-Farm Ma chinery.

Flowers Without Foliage.

One of the most extraordinary flow CTS in cultivation is Halls amaryllis. which reverses the order of nature by blooming in midsummer without any foliage. Ordinary bulbs bloom in spring and rest in summer, but Halls amaryil!s suddenly appears out of the bare ground during the dry season.
 This extraordinary plant has fra grant. rosy lilac flowers which are banded with yellow. In the spring the leaves make their growth, die down. and after long interval of rest the flower stalks appear with the strange effect here described.-Gar- den Magazine.

MINING EDUCATION
 OUTSIDE OF COLLEGE.

Several weeks ago The Mining World expressed some opinions as to what constitutes the most effective means of educating mining engineer. and advocated judicious blending of the oretical and practical work in connee tion with courses in colleges and mfn ings schools.
 There are, however, many boys and young men who are unable, for one reason or another, to carry their schooling beyond the public schools. When they graduate from high school they are at once confronted with the always serious problem of making 8 living and of making something bet ter than laborers of themselves. There are many fields open to them, but none which holds more alluring pos abilities than mining. This field Is so broad that some portion of it will usually be suited to almost any turn of mind
 In the various branches of science and industry involved in mining there are unexcelled opportunities for a de- termined boy to advance to a respoa- sible anl lucrative position, or \tn eventually establish himself in some independent line of work.
 It is not exceptionally difficult fsI the right kind of boy of proper als, to get some kind of a position abo,i mine which will give hin a foot hold" It sthen up to him to make his waySup. Pluck and persistencs are essential. Calloused and bruised hands, dirt and oil, must be expected It is in this practical school that one becomes familiar with doing things and confidence Is gained.
 Running drills, placing timber, push ling cars. handling chain, etc.. are. however. only part of the, necessary training for the boy who is ambitious to rise. He must study. too. the the oreticai principles of the work that he does and sees done. and learn some thing of physics. chemistry. geology. mineraiogy. mechanics. etc, and their |reistion to msaine This@ressssssshars study. probably under adyerse cir. csmstances-in the evening after .

OIAZ AND
 MEXICO.

It is reported from Mexico that po- litical meetings are to be held through out the country and that the govern ment will not interfere with free speech so long as "the language is temperate and the followers of the re- spective candidates for vice president hold themselves within due bounds" :"
 This follows the story of clash over candidates in which the govern ment was represented as taking avery active part in discouraging the adyo- cates of a candidate that it regards with disfavor. The incident has been treated in various ways. There has been savage denunciation Of the gov ernment at a safe distance, a denun- citation of Diaz as tyrant and hypocrite. There has been fulsome praise of the president as a pure and able patriot. There have been ironical references to him and the republic as if the affair were a joke on every one concerned. It cannot be said, however, that much new light has been thrown upon the character of Diaz or the political st. uation in the country says the Record Herald.
 That the president exercises the control of a master is admitted by those who are ready to applaud his policy. One admirer who has written the introduction to a recently pub lished work on Mexico says that he is a benevolent dspot, an emperor in all but name, and then adds that he gov erns with moderation and that his fel- low citizens see that his hand and brain must guide the mighty engine of advance that he has set in motion.
 ne dutuuI Ol lnc Dooh ucCidicS thoS he has been wise as we'll as fortunate, that he has surrounded himself with the talented men of his time, that he deserves to rank among the historic statesmen of the world. and that he merits the praise that has been ac- corded him, though "so long and var led a course of 1t must prove unpal- atable." AS for the government. Mex. ico is republic in name which shares with SIanssh-American countries gen erally "soc.al conditions which are far from being embodied in the real mean ing of that designation" There are class distinctions as stroag as those oi the most class-ridcen countries of Europe. But the government has the welfare of the people at heart, and in the last quarter of century has re garded the laboring classes and the In d.ans as citizens with rights rather than mere material for revolutionary struggle. as wss formerly the cass.

 Gift Giving.

Just how much are the parents re- sponsible for the indiscriminate giv- ing of presents between boys and girls? Of course, certain rules of eti- quette obtain in certain classes of society, but there is mass outside. in the country and small towns, who are not governed by the rules laid down by Madam Grundy There seems to be a tendency toward expensive gifts among the young people of to- day. Should young gir! be allowed by her parents to accept gifts other than candy. flowers. music and books from her boy friends? The question often comes up in the homes when some boy. all in good faith, gives the girl friend a bit of expensive jewel ry. Some mothers. at once, compel the girl to return the gift and that ends the friendship and causes an en- barrassing situation. Of course. there are girls, without conscience or that innate refinement which every good wholesome girl possesses, who just go with boy for the sake Of the gifts lavished upon her
 Now. does the responsibility of in discriminate giving rest with the parents of the boy or the girl? If the boy was trained by his mother not to offer expensive presents to the girls until Miss Right comes along. it would save many a heartache. If the girl has been properly instructed, could not she. in an unobtrusive way. give the boy to understand that such gifts were not desirable2 Indiscrim- mate giving between boys and girls often causes an innocent friendship to degenerate into mawkish sentimental ism. m.-The Housekeeper.

A canvass of the copper metal trade reveals the fact that a majority hold the opinion that copper will greatly increase in value from now on. As far as any prediction of future prices is concerned, Is cents is a1most unani- mously mentioned A large number of well informed interests point out that electrical equipment companies are now experiencing large increase ir orders, in fact, the General Electric company announces that ii Is doing a business on the basis of an outrun of seO 900, 900 per annum. Its high record was attained in 1907 with a total of S7o,977 900 as compared with $43,147.. 900 in 1906. 3s.231, 900 in 1905. If busi, ness continues to improve during the next year in the same proportion shown for the six months just passed, the amount of manufacturing for 1909 will exceed that of 1907. the banner year.
