Lord Rosebery, phrasemak.r.

Lord Rosebery, a master phrasemak-
er. has credit for a phrase which he
never originated. When he addressed
the editors Of the empire at the White
City In June 5. 1900, he was reported
in many newspapers to have said that
Europe was rafting into barbarism."
A capital phrase. The word "rattling"
suggests bayonets, guns, and military
accoutrements: "barbarism" stands
for the mad competition In
What Lord Rosebery said was that
Europe was ~"relapsing into barbar.
ISM" which is equally true but less
picturesque. In the official report of
the Imperial Press Conference. how.
ever. the phrase used is "relapsing in
to militarism," which Is obviously In.
correct, as there was never so much
militarism In the history of Europe as
there is at the present time. While
Lord Rosebery said "~relapsins into
barbarism." "%rattling" has got sucb

whether he was deranged by thirst
and hardships and fell and injured
himself, or as he believed, he was set
upon by Indians. When ultimately
reaching the settlements he was
bruised and bewildered but still car
ried the wondrous specimens, rich
with gold.
Breyfogle made numerous returns

never again locate the coveted spot.
In protracted efforts to find these
treasures he enlisted the aid Of

Lure of 1.-THE Lost ~Gun-Slght."
At a time when Death Valley was
as little known to the p]rospector as 1t
still Is to the public there was a lar
named Bennett who was of a party of
immigrants, making their way west
ward through that region. He had
struggled in advance Of his COM
panions, and being almost famished
for water he found what is known as
BENEFITS Hole" this being on the
western bars Of Death Valley. Ben
nett afterward made his way into
the foothills of the Panamint noun
tains, some 20 miles to the westward.
Here he found a spring of good water
and camped, as best he could, to re-
cuperate. He was not a prospector
but was attracted by the metallic
quality Of groupings that were in
protruded in a mammoth ledge near
by.
When Bennett, after great hard
ships and wandering, finally made
his way out to settlements in the far
Their valleys Of California he still car
ried a specimen of this heavy, silveryl
ore; and later obtaining a gun that
lacked a sight, Bennett took the gun
and the ore to a blacksmith shop and
had a sight fashioned out Of this met
al, which the blacksmith told him was
silver, and hence the story of the Lost
Gun-sight mine," which Bennett and
his friends afterward searched for
in vain, and scores have lost their
lives trying to find.
"The Peg-leg mine," somewhere in
southeastern California, is one of the
best authenticated and most famous
Of all lost treasures of the desert.
Like an Ignis Fatuus 1t lures men
ever to the domains of the purple
mist. for there somewhere upon a
lone hillock lie it's heavy heaps of
gold.
1t was "Peg-leg Smith," an old
~prospector of the earlier days, who
first found this treasure, and though
crazed with thirst he reached civiliza-
ton with some of the nuggets. But
try as he would "Peg-leg Smith"
could never retrace his steps to that
alleged wealth and he finally died
cursing the bitterness Of fate.

her once. But he vas too perplexed
with the new thoughts she had put
into his head to take advantage of the
situation. He merely caught her by
the arm and helped her over the
rougher footing. At the edge of the
grove he suggested that 1t might be
better for them to part there. but she
insisted that he accompany her as tar

closeness to him and of a fresher and
