Half an hour later as Don mounted

usual process.
"Impossible!" he exclaimed.

that left no room for comments. And
Don obeyed, s%peechless for once.

asked.
"Why. here's a special delivery from
Gertrude saying she will not be in the
city until tomorrow. What does it
mean? She Just telephoned me an
hour ago that she would be here to

Don threw up both hands and
laughed.
"Ha! Ha! Betsy, Betsy! Ill bet on

"HoB0" BONDS PROTECT CITY
Novel Undertaking for Towns Along
Reservoir Line In East Yonk-
ers, New York.

Yonkers, N. Y.-Novel bonds, ag
%gregating $4,000 in value, have beer
filed with Mayor Lennon by two Of
the construction companies in charge
Of the New York reservoir work in
East Yonkers. The bonds are legally
known as "hobo bonds" and are issued
as a result Of a clause inserted in the
contract for the, work, drawn up by
the New York city authorities to pro
tect the cities and villages where New
York reservoir work is performed
The "hobo bonds" are Of recent Or
ig1n, and their work is to protect citiei
and towns from any liability as to thu
care Of paupers, hoboes or ne'er-do
wells, who are imported to reservoir
jobs by contractors. For instance, II
q laborer employed on the New Yorl
reservoir, to be constructed in East
Yonkers, were to be incapacitated, Of
in some other way become a public
charge, the expense Of taking care
Of him will be borne by the contract
ing company instead Of by the city
1t also means that the contracting
companies must bring to their jobl
only men who are workers. If they
bring a man here who refuses to worl
they must get rid of him or their IS,
900 bond is forfeited. The com
panies that filed the bonds were thu
Jackson Construction company and
the Keystone Contracting company
the bonds were furnished by the Titl(
Guarantee & SNrety company Of
Scranton, Pa, being surety. Follow
ing is the clause in the contract Of
New York city with the contractors
that calls for the hobo bonds"
"This contract shall not take effect
until the contractor or employer Of
labor to be engaged in the construc
tion Of any of the work herein pro
vided for shall give to the municipal
ity in which such labor may be EN-
ployed a bond in the penal sum Of
$4,000, conditioned to indemnify and
save such municipality from any LOST
that it may legally incur because Of
paupers or INDECENT employees brought
into said municipality and having nc
settlement therein, such bond to b.
approved by the chief executive Off

TURTLE VERY HARD TO KILL
but Glacial Period Theory Was
Disputed.

The weekly meeting of the Faunal
Naturalists' club of West Hurley, N.
=, was enlivened by a debate on the
subject, Resolved, That the turtle is
a hinsect." The negative got the de-
cision, holding that it is a parable.
n members of the club work on
The Ashokan dam. They were ten feet
down In a seam of clay when one OF
them came upon a rock. With diff
Guilty he persuaded the other men to
quit work long enough to look at it.
After they had viewed 1t they called
The engineers. These men made the
laborers dig further; then it was seen
that one side of the rock was marked
like a turtle shell.
When the caked clay had been re-
moved from the other side Of the rock
the engineers were satisfied that they
had found a petriied turtle. They put
1t into a pail Of hot water. By and by
one man said sadly that he guessed
'petrified" should begin with "p-u" in
stead of pc"
The author of this suggestion upset
the pail with his foot, and soon the
turtle himself settled the question. A
scanned and wrinkled head, in which a
pair of white eyes blinked, was showed
out from the shell. and then a foot ap-
peared. The other feet came into
view within a few moments, and the
turtle crawled painfully away.
The F. N. club eagerly seized upon
the discovery as a topic for its next
meeting. The members were tired of
hearing essays on the h~ydra-headed
monster, which has figured so much in
the affairs Of the Ashokan dam, and
the presiding officer had trouble in
keeping the debates in order when the
new subject was declared open.
One engineer told the club that the
turtle had probably become imbedded
In the clay in the glacial period and
had been caught in a nap in the win.

The argument that won the debate
for the negative, however, was that
the turtle had been caught the win.

Cause Of the Tides.


The tides are due wholly to the at
tractive force of the sun and moon.
Every particle of matter composing
the earth gravitates toward the moon
inversely as the square of it's dis
lance.
BY the law of gravity the attractive
force OF the sun and noon decreases
with the square of the distance. Fol
that reason the nearer surface of the
earth is attracted with greater force
and the further surface with lesser
force than the center. The resultant
effect is to cause a tendency to recede
from the earth's center in parts i'm
mediately under the sun or moon and
also on the side most remote from
them.
The waters Of the ocean are free tt
yield to this tendency and hence they
tend to be heaped up into four tidal
waves a day-two lunar and two solar.
The lunar tides greatly predominant,
the others being observable chiefly by
their action in reinforcing or diminish.
ing them.
AS the earth turns on it's axis these
waves cause two principal alterations
Of high and low water every twenty:
four hours in every part of the ocean.
called food tide and ebb tide.
When the solar and lunar tides are
in conjunction the maximum, or
spring, tide takes place. When they
are 80 degrees apart there occurs the
minimum tide.

trick on me?"
BETSY, you made such a fuss about
Gertrude's coming that I thought I'd
like to see how you would act If the
lady herself should happen to n
nounce such a mad possibility, so I
went to the corner telephone-and
found out!"
Donald Warner, you are a mean
thing-the meanest thing on earth!"
His sister dropped into a chair and
covered her face with her hands.
Poor dear, it was a shame-a

WILLIAM SMITH, ONE OF
THE PIONEERS OF COLORADO,
A VISITOR In CANON CITY

From Thursdays Daily.
William Smith of Mosca, Colorado.
familiarly known among his friends
as Music" Smith, was visitor in Can
on City yesterday and made the Rec
ord Office pleasant call. Mr.. Smith
is eighty-three years of age and is
one of the pioneers of the Rocky
Mountain region having resided In
this section of the country continu-
ously since 1S49. the year after the
territory on the south side of the Ar
kansas river was ceded to the United
States by Mexico. Mr.. Smith was born
near Greencast'e, Indiana, and be-
came a freishter over the old Santa
Fe trail when 4 young man, in which
employment he continued for many
years. Few men had more adveniur-
Gus career on the frontier. or ex-
perienced more of the ups and downs
consequent on the opening of new
country to civilization that Mr..
Smith. He knew all of the famous
hunters trappers and plainsmen of
The carly days and could have owned
half the territory west of the Missouri
river had he possessed a few thou
sand dollars with which to buy 1t. He
says he could have bought the site on
which Kansas City now stands for ten
dollars II he had had the money to In
vest. There was no Denver when he
came to Colorado and he did not
dream that some day a great com
merclal city would arise in this sec
ton Of the country. For twenty years
Mr.. Smith has been engaged In min
ing near Mosca Pass in Costilla coun-
ty, ard he believes that he at last has
struck it rich: a belief which his
friends sincerely hope will prove
true. His wife has been dead for many
years and his twelve children are now
scattered from Oregon on the one
hand to New England on the other.
Mr.. Smith once lived in the vicinity OF
Wetmore on Hardscrabble creek and
he has expressed Il wish to be buried
there when he dies. He IS one OF the
most interesting characters imagin-
able and possesses a great fund of
valuable information for the his
torian. He is an unusual man in many
respects and has n marvelously clear
memory OF things that happened half
a century ago.
