MEAN TRICK PLAYED BY FATE
Chances Are That Statesman Had
Hard Time Explaining Mat
tiers to His Wife.

The story is that it happened about
like this:
A representative from Indiana came
on to Washington when congress
started up, and engaged comfortable
living quarters before his wife ar
rived. She reached there some time
later on Saturday night. The next
morning she said:
Nov, Ralph, we'll go to church, of
course. Which church have you been
attending?"
'Wh-er-uh. which one, you say?" re-
peated the congressman. why,
there's mighty nice little church
down here just a couple Of blocks. It's
such an easy walk that I've been 60
ing there rather than to some of the
more fashionable churches"
"All right, if you feel at home there,
that's where we'll co." said the con-
CHEESEMAN'S wife. I'VE haven't much
time, anyhow"
So they put on their things and went
to the little church down the street.
When they got inside they made a
startling discovery.
They were the only white people in
the church.-Philadelp Ledger.

ore Deposits Near Surface.

Men sometimes dream of enormous
wealth stored in the earth, below the
reach of miners, but experts aver
that there is little or no ground to
believe that valuable metallic deposits
lie very deep in the earth's crust. Such
deposits, it is said, are made by un-
derground waters. and owing to the
pressure on the rocks at great depths,
tie waters are confined to a shell near
the surface. With few exceptions, ore
deposits become too lean to repay

Exactly the same situation exists

they do not appeal to men.

because II can make man over after
