TWAIN'S CABIN 4 MYTH

Since the death of Mark Twain all
kinds of stories have been printed
about his cabin at Aurora-most of
which are clearly and purely "rot. !"
Mark at one time lived at Aurora
and had a cabin there, but there
has not been enough of the aforesaid
cabin there for years to build a fire
to cook breakfast for a jaybird.
The late Hank Blanchard for years
used to present every tenderfoot
coming into this section with a
piece of wood from that cabin-all
of which came from fence that
once adorned the roadside near
Sunshne.-Bodie Miner.

DISTRICT C0uRI

The Florence o. Hay murder
trial still holds the attention of the
district court. The evidence this
forenoon was directed to the rela-
lions existing between Carroll and
defendant up to the time of the
killing. The witnesses were all the
associates of the defendant during
her residence here and at Carlin.
1t also tended to show the physical
and mental conditions of the young
woman. All the witnesses testified
that the defendant acted more or
less like an insane, person during
the afternoon of the day Carroll
was killed. =
The trial moves along slowly.
Difficulty is experienced in holding
some of the witnesses down to an
swer the questions put. to them.
Occasional tits between Judge
King, and the district attorney re-
lieve the monotony. The evidence
this forenoon was unfit for publica-
ton. ... ....- .... -.,....-

HOW ARMOUR GOT His RATE

In the late '70s. after several
years of large receipts of hogs and
low prices at the Kansas City stock
yards eastern receipts began to
drop off and prices nearly doubled.
The Armour Company had consid-
cradle pork products, in the
cellars here. They wanted it shipped
east and railroad rates were con-
siderdd too high. A better rate
was requested from the railroads,
but they refused. The late P. D.
Armour said: "All right, gentle
man, you haul none of our pro-
ducts ..
In less than q hours Mr.. Armour
bought steamboat and two barges
in st Louis for $50, 900 and headed
them for Kansas City, and in an
other "a, hours the railroads were
taking Mr., Armour's products east
at his own figures.-Kansas City

Dew as prinltina Mater.

The English administration at Gibral
tar, where water is very scarce. col
lects dew by the following very sim
pie method: A large pit is dug in the
earth and covered with dry wood or
straw, which in turn is covered either
with earth or with sheet iron. The
straw or wood serves as n heat in
sulator and effectually prevents the
conduction OF heat from the ground TO
the layer of earth or the sheet iron
above. Consequently this earth or
iron cools after sunset much more rap
idly than the ground so that its tenn
perature soon falls below the dew
point OF the surrounding air; hence
dew IS formed upon the iron or the
layer Of earth in very large quantities
The water thus obtained is drained of
into reservoirs and after Qualification
IS used for MISUNDERSTANDING Amer.
