would not fade would certainly make his fortune One of the officers, young man. took the hint When he got home he employed a skillful dyer, and the two began a systematic search for an olive dye that when used on cotton cloth would not yield to soap or soda They spent years in experiments along this line, but to no avail The thing seemed hopeless.
 One day however, they found amons( numerous scraps of dyed cloth one thats retained Its color under the most severed tests. The puzzling part of it was that this scrap had been derived from piece of cloth that had been subjected to the same processes.
 Finally by the merest chance they hit upon the secret. The dye in which this scrap had been dipped had remained for a time in a metal dish of peculiar kind. This metal, in combination with the chem cals of the dye, had furnished the thing needed They made the experiment with other pieces; the dye held. and their fortunes were made.

A LAMENT FOR YOUTH

From the WcStIuIlotcT ddzctte. From the forest of the night,
 From the palace of the day, He hath winged a distant flight; No more looms he on our sight,
 No more bows he to our sway. He was cunning in the mart,
 He was mighty with the sword, He was skilled in every art, Like a king he dwelt apart.
 And we fathomed not his word. Weep for him, each dcnizen Of the valley and the hill. Of the forest and the fen! For he cometh not again
 To our glory or our i'll. .., Wake the echo of the Tyre
 And the melody of song With 8 full and tragic fire! For our yeqrning shall not tire
 Till it mourneth sweet and long. Till tho weary deserts verge
 And the shaggy mountaAn's head And the quiet grooming surge Hear, and answer to the dirge Of our youth that now b deaA

Sheriff Jinwright Denies All Charges

Sheriff Jinwrlght Denies All ChargeS
 Sheriff Jinwright denies all charges brought against him in impeachment proceedings instituted by Attorney General Brickell, and the supreme court has named Monday, May 22, as the day for the trial of the issue thus raised. Aberdeen Johnson, negro, was taken from the Bullock county Jail on April by mob and put to death.
 The trial of the case by the su- preme court under the constitution of 1901 will be an event in this state. It may become a precedent that will operate to minimize lynching in this state. It is intimated that many in- teresting facts will be brought out in the forthcoming trial. It will at any rate be an interesting trial, and the state administration did right in talk ing steps to bring it on.
 A good many points will no doubt be sttled in the forthcoming trial and the fuller it is reported the better the people will be informed concerning the duties of sheriff in the guard ing of prisoners committed to his charge. The case may become his- toric in the annals of the state. It will certainly be interesting to people living in the state at the present time.

Business East and West

"I spent the greater part of April in the northwestern states" said liar rison P. billiard of Chicago. "I was in Spokane, Seattle and Portland and I found in all those cities, in fact all through the west. as great prosperity as was in evidence there in 1907, which was highw water mark year.
 When I struck the middle west and heard somewhat from the east, business inactivity, it seemed, was the rule. But the country was never in a healthier condition than it Is now. From what can see my idea is that beginning with June an industrial revival will be in progress and that by the middle of July the whole country will be as prosperous as it was in 1907 just be- fore the financial panic"

GREATEST OF DREADNOUGHTS

thousand tons were taken in eight hoursl which, considering the intense heat irI which the crew had to work, is considered as another record in fast coaling under| difficulties. The two new dreadnaughts| which Brazil had built in England had just reached port. Prior to the arrival of the Delaware the Brazilians, had re- garded these two as the best that even floated, and they freely expressed great surprise when they saw finer one o1 the dreadnaught type come into port.
 The next run was to Punta Arenassds comparatively short one of 2S00 mfIes1 Here the battleship made three-das stop, and then threaded her way. through the Magellan straits to find bowling gale waiting for her as she cleared them But despite it's buffeting she reached Val- paraiso on the very minute of her sched - ue time, 9 a. m., March Il.
 The Delaware Is the first dreadnaught, to enter Pacific waters. and her officers tremendous impression. Chile was then contemplating the building of two dread- naughts in England, and that added to the interest of her appearance.
 After a stay of 10 days, during which time every possible courtesy was show cred upon officers and crew, the Delaware got her anchor and began her homeward trip. On this she made only two stops, one at Punta Arenas, to take on fresh supply of provisions, and one at Rio for coal Off the River Plata she encoun- tered a furious northeaster, described by her officers as the heaviest gale that any vessel of the comparatively recent dread naught type has yet widowed through.
 The fighting qualities of these big ships are theoretically known, but their sea- worthy qualities has yet to be tested. All on board the Delaware are enthusiastic over her behavior In a seaway.

AN OuTING

The picnic crowds are on the way
 see them passing up the street, All in mood for holiday,
 With hampers full of things to eat. The picnic train Is pulling out,
 Witn deafening cries of shrill delight; But all seem crushed, or just about.
 When they come toiling home at night. The little children. erst so gay,
 Are just as cross as they can he. And parents in sad disarray
 Are dolefnl sights, forsooth, to see. The aftermath is rather sad
 Down from that stuffy picnic train Climb families so tired egad,
 They VOW they'll never go again.

.nother Mexican Trouble

''The present mixup in Mexico would furnish excellent food for conversation, remarked a citizen, "were it not neces- sary to pronounce so many spanish proper names. As 1t Is, person must hesitate before he talks, for If he pro- nounces all the names correctly he runs the risk of being dubbed pedantic, and of course he can't take pains to be ig- norant.
 1T notice three different ways In which well-known Mexican proper names are being pronounced. One usage, which Is the correct Spanish, is exceedingly rare. Another is a sort of hybrid method, the principal rule governing which seems to be to pronounce half the word as in Span- ish and the other half English The third is the ultra-American way, which persists in giving a purely English pronunciation to totally unangicized words and names.
 For instance, I suppose 75 per cent of American newspaper readers speak of the Mexican President as President Die as That, of course, is a purely English pronunciation of a Spanish name. A great many others say Dee-ahz,' which seems to nave Sucn d 1ofeisn sounu that it usually passes as correct. Lastly, very few people pronounce the name Dee ath,. which students of Spanish will rec ognize as the right way.
 ''Websters biographical dictionary, as we'll as other authorities, permits the Spanish 2 to be pronounced as in Eng fish. It seems inconsistent, though, to pronounce a word half according to the Spanish usage and half the English. If 1t is right to say "Dee-ahz, with the 'z' as in English, why should we not give the r the English pronunciation and call the name 'Die-as,' as so many people do unauthoritatively? It seems this is much discussed point, though, and l haven't time to argue I don't guess it makes much difference, anyway, whether Francisco Madero will be the next Pres ident of Mexico, or whether that gentle man will be Frahn-cheese-co Nah dairo." f"

Tex.. Pro,,b,tion Campaign

While there is less noise in the prohi- bition campaign in Texas than there was In other states that were agitated over the liquor question, there is a great deal of earnest work being done on both sides" said John B. Gartman of Chica- go. ."I have spent several weeks in Tex as every year for 10 years past. and l am, therefore, familiar with conditions In that state. The fact is, that I am pretty well acquainted with the >entire south, and when I was here in Alabama In 1909 remarked greater violence of feeling than I had ever seen In any political campaign before. The occasion here was the prohibition amendment proposition, which. fortunately. was settled at the polls by an overwhelming anti-prohibi- tion vote.
 When I left Texas a few days ago I felt quite certain that the anti-prohibi- tionists would win. The election takes place in July. The statewide prohibition cause in Texas Is very much weakened by the successive defeats of statutory measures in all the states that have held elections recently to determine the mat ter. Mssouris 215,0O0 majority against statewide prohibition walked up the whole country. Florida has voted against statewide prohibition. Virginia has turned statewide prohibition down with a vengeance. So has Maryland and so has Alabama. Georgia and Tennessee will follow suit in time. These facts stare Texas prohibtionists in the face, and I would be willing to bet my last dollar that the anti-statewiders, in other words, the local optlonists, would win by a very large majority"

Suit for Choice Coal Land.

Denver.-The United States govern
ment entered suit in the United
States District Court against the Car
bon Coal and Coke Company, a sub
sidiary company Of the American
Smelling and Refining Company, bet
ter known as the smelter trust, and
the Exploration Company, Ltd. one of
the largest British mining corpora
tions in the world, to recover coal
lands in Colorado alleged to have been
fraudulently acquired by means of the
dummy entryman system.
The value of the lands In controver-
sy is rated at not less than $5,000,-
900. They are declared by govern
ment experts to be among the choicest
coal properties in the state.
The suit is based on a new point of
law to the effect that the statute Of
limitations as ordinarily construed
does not actually apply to these cases.
1t is contended that the statute of
limitations does not commence to run
until the fraud is discovered.
The suit against the Carbon Coal
duu SOht Soupohy SlApioSSo CiShI
coal entries made in 1901, consisting
of 1880 acres at Cokedale. where the
company's plant Is located.
The lands are alleged to have been
taken by dummy entries in 1903 and
1904.
The investigations were made under
the supervision of the field division of
the General Land Office for Colorado.
of which M. d. McEniry is chief, in
1908 and 1909, and suit was recon-
mended in the latter part Of 1909. B.
D. Townsend, special assistant Of
the attorney general of Portland,
Ore, has worked up the law issue of
the case.
AS the British company could not
legally acquire such property in this
country, it is charged it used its Brit
ish gold to hire American citizens to
act as dummy entrymen.
