LITTLE MISS SMITH ARRIVES
"Popper" Tells All About His First
Evening With the Wonderful
New Baby.
Dear Aunt Eleanor:

Dear Aunt Eleanor:
Little Miss Smith (weight 10
pounds) arrived at the Methodist hos
pital at last evening.
So far as human intelligence can
foresee Margaret and the little one
are both in apple pie order. And.
speaking from a purely unprejudiced
viewpoint. she is really the most re-
markable baby, in many respects. you
ever saw.
And, believe me or not, when she
was about half an hour old she looked
up at me and grinned. Margaret says
this is all bosh, but I guess I've been
on earth long enough to know when a
lady smiles at me, whether she is
smiling at me or not. And l like to
believe that she actually recognized
her pepper" and to take 1t as an
omen that we are destined to become
really chummy.
Hoping that you will drop in on US
soon. remain. sincerely, Eb.
P. SIN my haste / may have neg.
lected to mention the fact that she
weighs 10 pounds. and is really some
thing out of the ordinary.
P P S.-Say, do you think those
hospital nurses are the wise gazabos
they are cracked up to be? Last
night when / first saw baby she start.
ed in to cry little, and l wanted to
pacify her with some nice chocolates,
and would you believe those buttin-
skys wouldn't let me? I'm going up
to the hospital tonight with sack
OF but terscotch and you bet I'll find
out whether I'm to have any voice In
the rearing of my own daughter
(weight ton pounds).
P P. p S.-Margaret and I had
quite a little argument last night
about baby. She's set on Wellesley
and l am equally prejudiced in favor
of Vassar. Present indications, how
ever, point to a compromise In favor
Of Wellesley.

ELEVEN TONS OF DIAMONDS
Output Of the Kimberly Mines In
Thirty-nine Years-Diseoyery
Of the Record Gem,

The days work at the mine was
over and Frederick Wells. the sur
face manager, was making his usual
rounds. Glancing along one side Of
the deep excavation his eye suddenly
caught the CLEAN of a brilliant object
far up the bank. He lost no time IN
climbing up to the spot where he had
noted the CLINT of light. He had not
been mistaken; II was brilliant crys-
tai. He tried to pull It out with his
fingers and as this proved impossible
he sought TO pry 1t out with the blade
of his penknife To his surprise the
blade OF the knife broke without caus-
ing the stone to yield Then he knew
It was a large stone. So large and
brilliant was the stone that he feared
he was either dreaming or was in
sane
Determined to test the stone on the
spot before proceeding further. Wells
rubbed of the dirt from one Of its
faces with his fingers and soon con-
vinced himself that ii was not a lump
OF glass, but a diamond. apparently Of
exceptional whiteness and purity. He
finally succeeded in prying out the
stone and bore IT away with him to
the Office of the mire Here it was
cleaned and, to the astonishment of
all was found to have weight Of
302A carats, more than three times
that of any other diamond that had
been discovered Before many hours
passed the telegraph carried tidiugs
TO all parts of the world that the great
est diamond of this age or any other
age had been brought to light.
It was thirty-nine years. July -,
1871. since the discovery of diamonds
In South Africa. Do you know how
these great mines were discovered?
the Christian Herald asks. A trader
stopping over night with Dutch
farmer saw the children playing with
baght marbles. The trader took the
white stones to Capetown and found
they were diamonds of wonderful
beauty and great value. In these thir-
ty-n.ne years about eleven tons OF dia.
monds have been taken from the Kim.
berly mines. Think of eleven tons OF
diamonds, like eleven tons of coal, be-
ing dumped i.to your cellar!

grassworn to their SUBMITS and rise
out Of fiat prairie, from which they

In asking the support of our read
ers and the public in general for their
support in the coming primaries, Mr..
Kuhlman feels that he can safely do
so on his record, having given his full
time and close attention to the duties
Of his office and intends and promises
to continue to do so if elected.
No one has been more prompt in
attendance at every meeting of the
commissioners than him and no one
could have more jealousy guarded the
interest of his precinct, and having no
other business to look after than the
commissionership he can be relied on
to faithfully carry out his duties.
