FEATHERED TRIBE IN PLAY
Whole Bird Family May Be Repre-
sented in Game Played by
Boys and Girls.

playground or a picnic woods is
an especially good place for this
game. One Of the players is chosen
as mother Bird and two other play
ers are selected for hawks The
other players are given the names Of
several feathered creatures. Five or
six may be called sparroWs, two or
three robins, a few might be known
as bluebirds, while still another group
might take the name of another bird,
such as soriole.
AS soon as the birds are named by
their mother they move their arms
up and down, to initiate flying mo-
ton, as they fly to the forest which
is one corner of the play space set
apart for the game
The mother flies to the nest"
which is the corner diagonalIy oppo-
site to the forest Each of the
hawks flies to one Of the two other
corners, for each hawk has his own
nest. The mother bird calls: 1T is
time the orioles were tucked in bed. .
The orioles then fly from the forest
to the nest, trying to avoid being
caught by either Of the hawks, which
chase them.
When a bird is captured by a hawk
it is taken to the hawks nest. The
birds, once reaching the mothers nest
in safety, cannot be caught by the
hawks unless they accidentally go
outside the boundary Of their home.
The mother bird calls for all of the
birds, just as she did for the orioles,
and the hawks continue their efforts
to capture them. At the end of the
first game two of the captured play
ers become hawks for the next game
and a new mother bird is chosen.

A man named Brown was invited to
speak at town meeting, and when

looked over the program he discover

Considering himself somewhat of an

MIR. Brown exceedingly angry, and
during the entire meeting he sat and
thought over the insult.
The speakers during the evening
we're unusually stupid and by the time
Mr.. Browns turn came the audience
was paying scant attention.
The master of ceremonies finally
stood up to introduce the last speaker,

LOST FOR CENTUR Y

Santa Teresa was Arizpe. The de-
scendants of many Of the miners who
worked in the property are still liv-
ing here and the family traditions of
the fabulous richness of the ore and
the enormous quantity that was pro-
duced are being told and retold since
it was learned that the chances are
good OF the property being opened up.
The owner of the Santa Teresa
mine was Ignacio Munoz, a man Of
great wealth who lived at Guaymas.
The abandonment of the property was
due to the raids of Yaqui and Apache
Indians These redskins massacred
many of the miners and the remain
der fled to Imuris, first sealing up the
entrance to the shaft. Munoz, the
owner, died soon after this, the for
mer mine employees were scattered,
the raids Of the Indians continued,
and when it finally became safe again
to enter the region where the famous
producer was supposed to be situated
no trace of it could be found.

Noted Instances Cited.

New York.-City Court Justice
Pinelite has just filed an opinion
based upon exhaustive research,
biblical and otherwise, in denying an
application by Bernard Elliott Bur-
stein, q lawyer Of 548 West One Hun
bred and sixty-flfth street. for. per-
mission to change his name to Bur
lston, by which name he was known
In college. While the application was
denied only because the papers were
faulty, the court held that it is not
necessary to bother some court when
you want to change your name. A
man may legally name himself or ac-
Iauire a name by reputation, general
usage. and habit
Justice Finelite mentions persons
known to history who changed their
names without recourse to law, among
them President Cleveland, who drop
ped Stephen from before Grover, and
president Grant, who had the name
Hiram before Ulysses dropped
through the error of the recording
officer at West Point when he en-
tered there. James b. Matthews and
James B. Taylor dropped the James
and became known as Brander Mat
fhews and Bayard Taylor. The bap-
Itismal name Of Honore de Balzac was
Guez, Maurice Barrymore's was Her
bert Blythe, Henry Irving was John
II. Broadrib and Henry NJ Stanley
was John Rowland.
Justice Finelite says that in Biblical
times the comforting Of names was
generally connected with some cir
cumstanee of birth. Several OF Jacobs
sons got their names In this manner,
the name being chosen generally by
the mother, while occasionally the
father gave 1t, and sometimes others

dren seem never to have been named
after their relatives, the court says,
and none Of the tWenty-one kings OF
Judah was named after a predeces-
sor or after David, the founder of the.
family.
The court says that as the Jews
spread through the land bordering on
the Mediterranean they drew upon
other languages for personal names,
while retaining Biblical ones. and
such new names became popular In
Italy, Persia, Arabia and Turkey. This
led to the adoption of two names, one
for civic purposes and the other for
Hebrew documents. In 1887 the Aus
trian government compelled the Jews
to adopt surnames

Musty Records Point Way to Fa-
nous Gold Mine.
With Newly Discovered Directions
Shaft Where Millions of Dollars
y Worth of Gold Mined May
BE Found.

Arizpe, Mexioo.-The famous San
"a Teresa mine, which has record
OF having produced ore to the value
OF more than $10,000,000 gold during
the latter period of SPANS control Of
Mexico. may again come into prom
inert notice after being lost for more
than 100 years
The. musty records of this mine
were found few months ago in the
government archives at Madrid,
Spain, by Pablo Resaza, who forward
cd a copy of them to Miguel Lon
gorio, a mining engineer employed by
one Of the companies operating in the
Cananea district, this state. The
existence of this rich mine has been a
matter OF common knowledge to many
mining men In this part Of Mexico, al
most from the very time that its To-
cation was lost. Scores Of attempts
have been made to rediscoyer the
property, but these expeditions have
all proved fruitless up to this time.
Mr.. Longorio has organized party
of mining men, all of whom are Amer
deans except himself, to go In search
of the mine. It is said that the copy
pf the record of the property's pro-
Huction also contains complete de-
kcrfption of its location. and it is
thought that 1t will not be difficult to
find 1t. 1t Is stated that there are
-four men in the exploring party, and
that they have employed guides who
are familiar with the country where
the mine is supposed to be situated

ancient mine in the government
archives at Madrid is due to the fact
that all mines operated In Mexico
during Spanish colonial days had to
contribute part of their output to
the crown. A careful record was
kept Of the output Of each mine. It's
location was matter of official rec.
ord with the government. Duplicates
of these ancient records are to be
found in the archives Of many of the
old towns and cities in Mexico.
It is said that the output OF the
Santa Teresa mine was SO large that
several hundred pack mules were con-
stantly employed carrying the ore to
Guaymas, from which point 1t was
shipped by boat to reduction works.
