A WONDERFUL RECORD

Figures compiled by the railroad
show that during 1910 not single
passenger was killed on the Union
Pacfc, Southern Pacific or South
crn Pacific Lines in Mexico, total
of l7,s00 miles.
During that period there was
carried on these lines an aggregate
of l9,49l,000 passenger or, in
other words, 5000, 100000 pas
sengcrs were carried one mile.
This is the result of electric block
signal and other safety devices
and is believed 20 have no parallel
in the railroad world. San Fran

MAKING UMBRELLAS

In most umbrella factories the
task of turning out ribs and stems
is left to other factories making
specially Of those parts. These
are sent to the manufacturer. and
the man whose work il is to assemble
the parts inserts a bit OF wire into
the small holes at the end Of the
ribs, draws them together about
the main rod and ajusts the ferrule
In cutting the cloth or silk
seventy-fi,e thicknesses or there
abouts are arranged upon table
at which skilled operators work.
In one department there are girls
who operate heming machines. a
thousand yards of hemmiug goods
is days work for one Of these
girls. The machines doing this Job
attain speed of some 5000
revolutions a minute. After the
hemming has been done the cloth
or silk is cut into triangular PIECES
with knife, as before, but with a
pattern laid upon the cloth. The
next operation is the sewing Of the
triangular pieces together by
machinery.
The covers and frames are now
rea ly to be brought together. In
all there are twcnty-onc places
where the cover is to be attached
20 the frame. The handle is next
glued on, and the umbrella is
ready for pressing and inspection.
BY far the greater number of
umbrellas to day are equipped with
wooden handles. A large variety
of materials may however, be
used. Gold and silver quite
naturally enter into the con-
struction Of the more expensive
grades of umbrellas.
a wooden handle may bc quite
expensive, though. by reason Of
the good usod.-Harpcr's Weekly.

HOW TO keep YOUNG

The fact that one has lived so or
even for 80 years. is Ito reason why
he should feel old.
When Longfellow was well alcng
in years, his head as white as snow.
but his cheeks as red as a rose, an
ardent admirer asked him one day
how 1t was that he was able to
keep so vigorous and to write so
beautifully. Pointing to blossom.
ing apple tree near by the poet
replied: THAT apple tree is very
old, but ! never saw prettier
blossoms upon il than those which
1t now bears. The tree grows
little new wood each year and /
suppose that it is out of than new
wood that those blossoms come.
Like the apple tree, / try to
grow little new wood each year.
And what Longfellow did we all
ought to do.
We cannot stop the fight of
time; we cannot hean off the one
event that happeneth to all; but
We can keep on growing new wood
and in that way keep or blossom
ing until the end.-Megazine of
Mysteries.

INTEREST MONEY BUILT ROADS

The county commissioners of
Shawnee county, Kaa., have built
nearly forty miles of good roads
with the money formerly used for
paying interest on bonds.
As rapidly as the bonded debt
was.reduced the money which form
erly had bccn usal 90 pay interest
was expended on macadam roads.
There was no additional burden on
the taxpayers. Instead, the tax
levy was decreased in most
instances and good roads lead into
Topeka fom nearly every direction
as a result.

ON THE OTHER FOOT

The editor of local paper
says that he asked each merchant
in his to wn inturn to give him a
little extra advertising calling at
tention to bargains. In every case
he was turned down with the
remark that advertising in local
papers did no good anyway. The
editor went back to his office and
accepted S65 in cash from mail
order house for space in his paper.
The next week every merchant in
town complained bitterly of how
the dvertising was hurting them.
but the editor had them go ing his
way when he reminded them of
their remark that advertising in
his paper was no good anyway.
Advertising does do good no

A RENO SCHEME

On the back of a hotel car,
issued by the leading hostelry o
Reno appears the following bit o
rhyme, set to the tune of America.
Nevada, tits of thee
Sweet State of Liberty
OF thee sing.
State where our fathers flee:
State that sets mothers free
Marriage, because of thee,
Has lost its sting.
My state holds the key
That sets the shackled free,

| love thy lawyers ways,
Thy dazzling Divorces,
The briefness Of their stays
Their little game.
Reno,it is to thee,
Daughter of Liberty,
To thee we fee.
Long may thy streets resound
With freedoms jcyful sound.
Scatter thy light around
From sea TO sea.

THEY ARE GOOD INDIANS

Mondays Humboldt Star gives
the following account of Sundays
battle with Indian Mikes band of
murderers:
The pursuers, a detachment of
State police under command of
Captain Donrelly, and posse from
Eagleville, headed by Sheriff Smith
OF Modoc county. Cal. and Ben
Cambron brother of one of the
murdered sheepmen after following
the Indians on hot trail since
early morning overlook them
shortly afternoon at a point in
Clover valley. about eight miles
west of what is known as the Kelly
Greek ranch The Indians were
hurryng across the valley when ov-
Crtaken, trying TO reach the
mountains on the cast side. Reing
practically without cover they
had to battle in the open or
surrender. Contrary to the Indian
nature. they chose TO exchange shot
for shot with the avengers. who
were all too willing for such a
climax and the bloody battle COM
menced.
Only very meaRcr details of the
battle in which the Indians were
practically annihilatcd, can be
obtained all the news aviable having
been telephoned to Winnemucca
from North's ranch. early this
morning. The messenger frCu
the battlefield arrived at Norths
ranch last night. but owing to the
telephone office at Golconda being
rosed the news could not be trans
mitted to the outside world last
night.
From the details that can he
obtained il is described as having
been a running fight lasting three
rours and covering over a mile Of
country. When the Indians saw
the approaching posse the four
braves astonished their pursuers by
stopping and engaging in their
tribal war dance. This continued
until the advance guard of the
posse had riden up to within hailing
distance, when the summons to
surrender was answered by cries
of dcrision and defiance and the
Indian braves, squaws and children
scattered into the brush and opened
the battle which was TO terminate
in what was little short Of a
massacre.
Indian Mike fell fatally wounded
early in the fight, but the loss of
their leader only spurrcd his fol-
lowers to more desperate efforts.
Realizing that il was a battle to
the death. none intimatcd by voice
or gesture the slightest desire to
surrender. Answering shot with
shot the Indians fell back slowly
one by one before the withering
fusilladc from the rifles os the
posse. The Indians fought like
yeritable demons the squaw taking
part and selling their lives no less
dearly than their men folks. In
their last stand they used every
aviable weapon of offense. bows
and arrows and tomahawks being
resorted to when the ammunition
from their rifles and rcvolvers was
exhausted. Thus the bloody battle
continued until none Of the Indians
remained alive but three pappOoscs
and the young girl, who were found
in the brush near where the
fight was begun. The squaws
were shot down with as little
injunction as the braves, as the
women fought throughout no less
fercely than the men but the
killing Of the two children was
accidental and could not be avoided
The only details of the battle
known at this hour are those givcr
by the messenger who brought the
news last night to North's ranch
the remainder of the posse remain
ing at the scene to gather up tn,
