HANDY BOOK MARKER.

Nothing hurts a book more, es-
pecially a new book, than laying
it down open to keep the place. In
stead of doing that, if you are liable
to interruption in your reading, get
a stout rubber band and cover it
with ribbon, gathering full enough
to permit the bands stretching.
Then when you need to lay it down
it takes hardly a second to stretch
the band and slip beneath it the
pages read. Upon taking it up
again you find your place automatic
ally, moreover, the book mark cannot
get lost. Take care to have the band
strong enough to hold and big
enough not to mar the ends of the
cover.

GLORY OF THE MOUNTAINS.

No lowlander can appreciate the
mountain appetite and the facility
with which heavy food called "grub''
is disposed of. Eating, walking,
resting, seem alike delightful, and
one feels inclined to shout Justify on
rising in the morning like growing
cock. Sleep and digestion as clear
as the air. Fine, spicy, plush boughs
for bedding we shall have tonight,
and a glorious lullaby we shall have
from this cascading creek. Never
was stream more fittingly named, for
as have traced it above and below
our camp it is one continuous bounc-
ing, dancing, white bloom of cas-
cades. And at the very last, unwea-
ried, it finishes its wild course in a
grand leap of three hundred feet or
more to the bottom of the main Yo-
semitic canyon near the fall of Tama-
rack creek, a few miles below the
foot of the valley.-From John
MuiPs my First Summer in the
Sierras."

PANHANDLERs ARE THWARTED.

Manager Gus Hartz was standing
near the opera house box office when
one of two panhandlers who had en-
tered the lobby approached him, and
holding out an addressed and sealed
envelope, begged for the price of a
postage stamp. cts for me mud
der, boss, he sniveled. "Youse
wouldn't turn down er guy fer
de price er de stamp, would
youse" "Never," said the man
ager, deity grasping the en-
velope and throwing it through the
box office window. "Here, Fred" adj
dressing himself to Treasurer Fred
Coan, STAMP this and have it
mailedp The velocity of the pro-
ceeding fairly took the panhandler's
breath away. Then, backing away
to where his partner awaited him,
he whispered, "Nothin' doing, bo-
the guys wise" cleveland Leader.

ELEcTIoNEERINe IN ALASKA.

1t takes the Alaskan delegate
nearly year to cover his district in
a campaign. He reaches the coast
cities by boat, goes down the Yukon
to the interior, and goes in as far
as time and facilities permit to the
interior camps. So closely is the
population packed in the settled dis
tricts, however, that he is able to tell
by midnight of election day, from
the telegraphed reports from the
more important cities, whether or
not he has been elected.

OYSTER FISHING in MEXICO
Immense Quantities Of Shells Are An
nuaIly Used in Making Shell
Lime.

Operations connected with the oy.
ster fishing in Mexico are very sim
pie, as in many of the lagoons the
water is so shallow that the fisher
men simply step down into the wa
ter, which will reach not much above
the middle of the thigh, and with
their hands pull off large masses of
the shells. The principal use made
of these oysters is to convert their
shells into lime. No limestone is
found along the Tabasco and Vera
Cruz coast, and to bring it from fur
their up the rivers is slow and ex-
pensive operation. The oyster beds,
centuries old, have taken the place
OF the limestone quarries; immense
quantities of oysters and shells are
annually consumed in making shell
lime. The process is extremely
simple, but wantonly wasteful. No
distinction is made between old
shells and live oysters, nor would it
be possible to do SO. The entire catch
is taken on shore, where a pile of
wood is stacked up, and upon this
the shells and oysters are heaped and
a fire lighted. A few of the oysters
are eaten as soon as brought in, but
the percentage is insignificant.

POWELL GORDON

II
 scene of one of Prescott's n1|t beautiful weddings when Lauralee Powell became tLc bride of Mr. Edgar Earle Gordon of St. Louis. Mo. The church was charmingly decorated for the occasion. In front of the altar white Pergola running ov- CT with Wistaria in full bloom, the graceful clusters of purple blossoms bending with the lav- ender of the maids gowns and hats made a very artistic setting for the bride.
 As the ushers seated the last guests, Believe Me if All Those Endearing Young Charms" was sung by a quartet of boys, s,-Har- ris Powell, She'l Marsh, Ali Jones and Harold Brooks, who had been taught to sing by the , bride.
 To the strains of Mendelsohns Wedding March, by Miss Mil burn, piano, and MT. Sitzman, violin, the wedding procession began. The ushers, Messrs. Nat Martin, Chas. F. Pullman, Marshall Powell and Erwin Blakely were followed by the sweet girlish bridesmaids, Miss es Lillie Butcher, Sunshine John son, Mildred and Peggy Pittman, The maids were gowned in white lingerie dresses over lavender satin and with their picture hats and lavender asters, looked like a graceful cluster of flowers.
 The matron of honor, Mrs. Nat Martin wore embroidered lavender crepe with a wide point lace hat and carried white Dah- lias.
 Following her were the sweet little flower girls, Helen McRae and Florence Logan. These dear little cousins of the bride wore dainty white dresses and scat tered flowers and smiles along the brides pathway to the altar. After them came two smaller tots, Gretchen Beebe and Paul Davis with the wedding ring swinging on lavender ribbon. They looked like real cupids. Then the bride leaning on her fathers arm, in her bridal robe of white brocaded satin trimmed with panels of duchess lace. In her hand she carried the groom s gift, white and gold prayer book from which hung shower boquet of Lilies of the Valley" With her crown of orange blos- sons, and delicate white veil Our Lauralee" was beautiful bride.

MOIaSses on Roads

Some Of the best automobile roads in
the country, according to local citizens
who have recently passed through that
section, are down in the sugar beet
district of Colorado. The beet sugar
factories have great deal Of waste
product in the form of syrup that
forms when the beet juice is beng
boiled. Experiments have proven that
this syrupy mass makes far better
dressing for roadways than crude oil,
and the motorists Of that region ride
in comfort over highways coated with
the waste beet syrup.
