Some Prehistoric Teeth.

1 OOAAAS ACAAAoSOAA( CCAAs
Old Dave Ballard is always
looking about for fossils-he is
something of old fossil himself
and every time he goes out to the
ranch in Meade county he comes
home carrying grip full of old
bones, stones, chuncks of sand
rock, claws of the pterodactyl or
or the gizzard of dinosauros.
The last time he was out there,
in December, he had Chan and
Mark, his sons, securing gulches
for something from the past
ages, and Chan found a set of
teeth that didn't look as though
they had been cleaned up since
Kizer was pup, and may be
million years before. A badger
had clawed them out from under
bed of volcanic ashes. He ran
a wire eight feet into the hole
and did not get to the end of it,
and the debris, dirt and ashes
were about eight feet deep over
the hole at the gulch, straight
cut down. Mr.. Ballard sent the
teeth to the State Agricultural
College to be identified, and here
is what Prof. Nahour says of
them:
Manhattan, Jan. 21, 1911.
Mr.. D. E. Ballard, Meade, KS.
Dear Sir:-President Waters
has turned over to me some teeth
which you sent him some time
ago. We have placed them in
our museum, and are very thank
full to you for sending them.
The teeth are those of an extinct
(equus excelsis), which roamed
our prairies several hundred
years ago. 1t may be interest
ing to you to know that in early
archaeological times the horse
has been found to have been a
very small creature, about the
size of a fox having, five toes,
and it roamed the woods of Ari-
iona and New Mexico. 1t has
been traced, through it's fossil
remains, through many stages
three. toed, and then the one-toed
stage, and it was at one time very
abundant on our pralries here.
1t seems to have migrated
through a land connection which
connected America and Asia over
what is now Behring Strait
through Asia into Europe. 1t
afterwards became entirely ex-
tinct in America, and there were
no horses whatever for long
period of time in our country.
Their return to this country was
through their being brought over
by the Europeans after the dis
covery of America. They then
became wild and made what used
to be our herds of wild horses.
Yours very truly,
Robert K. Nabours.

M fifth of the second-class mail (Mr.
Hitchcock's 6gures.)
Magazines cost the Post Office less than
any other sub-class Of second-class mail,
because, although their hauI is longer. there
are so many fewer pieces to the pound that
their handling cost is smaller. Mr.. Hitch
cock says magazines hauling cost is cents
pound, newspapers hauling cost, Z cents.
His own figures say magazines handling
COSTS 4 cents pound, newspapers, 6.75
cents pound and yet in making out his
case against the magazines he uses only the
hauling factor, and ignores the handling! .
But neither newspapers nor magazines
hurt the Post Office balancezsheet on the
final analysis. Through 81 years, with
every great increase in second class mail,
has come a decrease in the Post Office def
icit. Before the pound rate came, in $40,
the deficit was 2 4 per cent In 1911,
The Washington times., 1911-02-16
Read the Facts:

after second-class mail had increased more
than 500 per cent, the deficit was only
20 per cent Without the loss on
Rural Free Delivery, there was Post
Office sur plus, in 910, of over $4,000
600, and an aggregate plus in the past
9 years of $74,000,0O0.
Second-class mail, whether profitable
or not to the Post Office, fills the Post
Offices with profitable 6rst-class postage,
resulting from the advertisements carried
in the magazines, and gives the govern
ment surplus Of $22,0O0,O00 year to
confer a wise benefit on the farmer, in
Rural Free Delivery. Isis ~ r. II.
In the face Of these FACTS, and
others which will follow day by day, Post
master General Hitchcock is using the
enormous power Of the Administration to
punish the magazines with this ua1ust, co,s-
hscato,y, and futile tax ....

OLD TIME MINING MAN
 DIES AT THE HOSPITAL

Charles Watts, one of ;he best known old-time mining men in Co., chise county, died at the county hos pital yesterday morning after an ill., ness of about five weeks. Watts was worth considerable money at one time in his career as a mining man, but he died practically penniless. 1t is not known here what arrangements have been made for the funeral
 Watts came to Arizona in the early sos and took a position as clerk at Charleston, a town that is no longer on the map. Later he went to old Mexico and pursued his profession of mining, but returied to Bisbee in the latter part Of the sos and took po- sition in the Copper Queen store as clerk. He subsequently quit that work, however, and became interested in mines, being one of the locators Of the Cochise mine.
 So faras known he had no relatives in this part of the country, and little is known of ifis i;Sss;s ssses-eEe comm z to Arizona. He is said to have been a native of Massachusetts.

daTy of nearly ten thousand niles in extent As a matter of fact. it is a very difficult thing, as is seen by the shrinking Chinese colonies of a hum dTed American cities. A great many more Chinamen die or go home to China every year than manage to slip past the guards.
 Job by No Means an Easy One.
 The simplest way, evidently, to i'm port a group of coolies is to load them on a vessel and land them at some unexpected spot from which they can be quickly transferred to some crowded Chinatown" in a city where they will be indistinguishable from the older inhabitants It is not really so simple as 1t looks. In the first place. the government keeps an eye on the trana-paciiis steamers =:ad assures itself of the destination of any considerable bands which travel by them. Again, a schoonerload of Chinamen is not likely to set sail from any neighboring port without some one being aware of 1t who may be- come informer.
 It was only a few years ago that the government officers in Boston re- ceived an unsigned postal card from Newfoundland saying that forty-two Chinamen were waiting at Placentia, a little fishing village on the New foundland coast, to be taken to the states" A government man was sent hurrying to Newfoundland. He reach ed Placentia and found that the China. men had sailed in the schooner Frolic, of Marblehead. at daybreak that morn ing.
 He telegraphed back to Boston, and the story was given to the newspa- pers. Glaring headlines told in every port of the Atlantic coast how the schooner Frolic was then at sea, searching for a place to land forty two Chinamen with pigtails Cutters cruised of shore from Montauk to Machias, and every eoasting schooner and ocean steamer along the coast from Norfolk to Halifax kept a sharp lookout for the smuggler.

NARROWED, STARVING, THE CHINAMEN THREW THEM SELVES ON THE GROUND AND SCREAMED FOR HELP.

speak of in China The whole heavy charge for. each of them is paid by a secret company, organized partly in China and partly in the United States, which counts on collecting the wholo sum, with an ample allowance for ao- cidents, deaths and bad debts and a generous profit besides. from his earn ings after he is safely landed. So say the men of the governments Chinese Immigration bureau. Their explana- tion may explain also Dr. Moy's frOck coat, his pearl pin, his S4,0o0 in dia- monds-and, 1t may be, his American wife as well
 The organization of these compan- les and the exact form of peonage in which they hold their victims are not thoroughly understood, though it Is cer- tain that both the companies and an organized peonage do, in fact, exist The immigration officers expect to know more on those points before they arc through with Dr. MOy and the three Americans who were indict- cd with him at Boston.
 But, of the ways that are dark and tricks that are not always vain in running the blockade the government men are well aware The smuggled Chinaman is Q tragic figure enough at times, but hc ottener appears in an exceedingly comic light to the men shD are sct to trip him at OUT na- uoaal threshold It would seem at arat that T wo-ld Le an easy thing

 daughter and S4000 worth of American made family jewels be, fore the federal commissioner in ter sey City the other day. With his slick short hair, his smile and his pearl stickpin, he did not look in the least like an agent of 8 great secret body whose arms stretch mysterious ly from the Orient both ways around the hrlge of the world, whose men rob, lie, bribe and kill to get their human cCntraband undiscovered across our border, whose stinking slay- CTS come sneaking down with doused lights from two oceans on cur coasts, a corporation which here. in the Unit ed States Of America, holds hundreds of men in bondage often little light CT than that of the southern negroea before the war.
 Yet such are the companies which manage the trade in smuggled Chi nese laborers. And it is the crime of conspiring to smuggle Chinese labor CTS with which a federal grand jury had charged the harmless looking Dr. MOy.
 Secret Company at Work.
 The cost of passage from China to the west coast of Mexico is something like SI3O, even at the lowest steerage rates. and to reach Jamaica costs about S3o more Adding the s45O or $500 for the perilous journey in the schooner and the still more perilous landing, it costs about S630 to bring a Chinaman into the eastern states. Now. if any one of these men who risk their yellow necks to land here had had anything like s6S0 saved up at home in China, he could have lived in luxury all the days of his life, and all his children and grandchildren with him. Then, why do these men want to come to America?
 The answer is simple. Not one ot the immigrants had saved anything to

FSr a week the newspapers were full of rumors how IS Chinamen were seen coming from Lynn to Boston, when there had been no Chinaman in Lynn before; how the Frolic was sup posed to have run into the Merrimac river and unloaded there, and many other such,
 Discovered by Fireman.
 t was near daylight one morning week later when a fireman in some coal pockets in Providence started down the pier to get a monkey wrench he had left. He was walking over a pile of rags, when something soft turn ed under his foot and he fell. The rags were warm and a fat face turn ed and looked at him as he picked him self up. He separated the heap into two scared and speeches. Chinamen and a pair of empty fertilizer bags.
 The Chinamen could not tell him what he desired to know about their business on the pier. In fact, they could not tell him anything. As he raised his voice still louder he was hailed from a fishing schooner which had been taking on provisions near the pier.
 Whats the matter?" was the ques- ton.

 Well. you leave 'em alone. They're all right"
