DONS WIFE'S SKIRT

port Talerifo managed to make his
way unnoticed to his wife's state
room. When he came out his legs
were draped In his wife's best skirt,
his wife's cloak was around his
shoulders and on his head big pic
ture hat formed a screen from which
fell the heavy veil that hid his face.
Out on deck he tripped and down
the gangway to a waiting sampan.
One of the sentries assisted him into
the sampan and when Mrs. Talerifo
went down the ladder behind her dis
guised husband she heard the sentry
remark. as he pointed to the figure in
the picture hat:
"She has a hand like a ham"

Fish ArtificiaIly Colored.

One of the strangest possible com.

posed by an inspector of the Pennsyl.

struck by the rich red color of some
smoked fish that was on sale in the
"delicatessen" stores of Philadelphia
He bought some and sent it to an anal
yst, who reported that he could dye
wool with the coloring matter extract.
ed from it. The retailers declared
their innocence. maintaining that they
had purchased the stuff in the belief
that it was genuine smoked fish. The
object of the wholesalers is clear in
view of the fact that in smoking fish
there is loss of Is pounds in every
100 pounds, while in dying there is nc
loss at all.

declared Orison SWEET Marden in Sue,

natured to bring up children; that she
would spoil them, as she would not
correct or discipline them; and would
do nothing but love them. But this
love has proved the great magnet
which has held the family together in
a marvellous way. None of these chill
dren have gone astray. They have all
grown up to be manly and womanly,
and love has been wonderfully devel.
oped in their natures. Their own af.

and has become their strongest mo-

We coinciGe with the views of
Congressman Martin on the recall of
the judiciary. Judges should be in
cluded in the list. OF course lawyers
argue that such system would be
striking at the very foundation of
our government. which is all bunk.
If the people are incapable of prop
erly conducting the recall with re.
ference to the judiciary, then the
same condition exists in regard to
the recall Of any public official. If
the recall is needed to induce the
proper performance of duty from a
governor. sheriff. clerk, etc., the ne.
cessity Is more apparent where a
judge does not properly fill his posi-
ton. We have read various argu-
ments on the recall, where It was
the intent to exclude the judiciary,
but have not been convinced that any
harm can come from taking Judge
off the bench If misconduct of Of

1T is ALL IN REASON.

Who would deny that mining for
the precious metals were not the
ne plus ultra of all methods of acquir
ing affluence? The man who tried 1t
and failed would look obviously upon
such an assertion. But this is not
for him. The man who made Tor
tune at mining would applaud voci-
ferously the above expression. HIS
cannon sense would approve most
anything said favorable to mining
He has tasted the sweets or sue
cess, therefore, has nothing but good
to say of that which has brought him
large return. There is no need OF ex-
aggerating the Importance OF the
mining industry. Its results speak for
itself. This has to do with what has
actually been accomplished by those
who have proved mining worth while.
They would never have gained had
they not made the venture. 1t is the
large returns one may expect from
mining that has led many into the
business.
| There has been so much uncovered,
| these await capital to develop them.
1t is no longer a business of small
calibre. To gain much, considerable
must be ventured. The man with
single prospect must be fortunate to
pass his property on to some one else
at a satisfying price. This may still
be accomplished, but not as readily
as formerly. Still, the prospector
has opportunity in making great
discovery in a new section; but the
old, established districts must
wait till things develop in the i'm
mediate neighborhood. These are no
way at disadvantage. Some property
or other may turn out to be pheno'
menal. That electrifies the whole dis
trict.
A mine like the War Dance, out
side of what it may accomplish Tor
it's owners, does much good. Proper
where there are producing mines. Nc
, one will know that by guessing at
the possibility of such. Encourage by
big find, properties, no matter how
remote from the big strike. A hall
dozen producers lend further encour
agement. The wonder is that many
more do not essay it in the hope OF
turning up something worth while
1t is all within the bounds of pos
sibility that they should in a sec
ton like this. They need not go it
blind. They can have something with
which to make a start. Everything
intact with vein exposed ready for
exploiting.
There are few districts like this
in the respect of almost certain re
turns. The fissure veins aid in thl
matter and one may have his choice
at the price. And it is not to be
Inferred that any are going begging

An awful wall is going up from
