nothing. He told his story and then
looked questionably at me.

that he did not recognize the sur.

room was closed. Jim began on him
"'Now, my friend, what's your
name?'
"'Thomas Withers'
THAT, of course" explained Miss
Clement, wasn't his name. One thing
I do not like to do is to tell the real
name of a man whose case has been

went on-"well, I just don't like to

m alluvial source from which the In
dams early 81 the nineteenth century,
must have obtained the gold dust
which for o time they disposed 81 to
/ trappers, the Hudson Bay company
and others. One morning q prospec-
tor, Joe Carver, when camping with
IN Indian hunter, was told BY him
that, seeing. the rising sun CLEAN on
the rocks. at the base of which ran a
stream, brought to his memory that
the place had been called by his fore
fathers the Rocks Of Cold" Search
revealed the great hoard which Ma
ture had been accommodating In the bed
Of the stream there for innumerable
centuries.
About eight years ago Isaac Newton
Fowler, a Brooklyn man. while hunt
ing In Chihuahua, Mexico, found an
old tunnel, the mouth of which had
been walled up at some remote time.
There was the usual local tradition Of
q lost mine in the neighborhood,
worked by the Spaniards. of old and
abandoned by them in consequence of
the hostility Of the Apaches.- The dis
coverers of the walled-up tunnel de-
cided this was 1t. and have found 1t
to be an exceedingly paying one.
A still. richer find was that Of a
prospector on the Mexican side of the
Rio Grande, near Fort Hancock, Tex.
An old dump" Of worked rock had
been there so long that nobody knew
who had taken the rock out. Not
even tradition was associated with
it. A prospector interested capital
lists, and the old workings were re-
opened.
On the face of the hill being clear
ed for the tunnel, the miners were
surprised to find a solid wall of
masonry, laid in cement, and so hard
that they had to blow it down by
means Of dynamite. Once through
this wall they discovered a tunnel
that few feet further on was closed
by massive door of hardwood logs
fastened by a huge lock of antique
Spanish workmanship. They broke in
and found that the tunnel ran about
400 feet to a breast of ore many times
richer than any found for many years.
A revolution or Indian rising had
probably caused the mine to be aban-
doned, and the workers with the char
acteristic subtlety Of their time had
hidden the bonanza, leaving exposed
only the waste product on the surface.

Time 10 Sometimes Kind

Father Time is not always a hard
parent, and, though he tarries for
none Of his children, often lays his
hand lightly upon those who have
used him we'll, making them old men
and women inexorably enough. but
leaving their hearts and spirits young
and in full vigor. With such people
the gray head is but the impression
of the old fellows hand in giving
them his blessing, and every wrinkle
but a notch in the quiet calendar
of well-spent life.-From Barnaby

Touching Memories.

"A friend of mine travelling in Ireland," said d federal official, stopped for a drink of milk at a white cottage with thatched roof, and as he slipped his refreshment he noted on center table, under 3 glass dome, brick with faded red rose upon the top of it.
 "'Why do you cherish in this way my friend said to his host, that common brick and that dead rose?'
 "'Shure, sir,' was the reply, there's certain memories attachin to them. Do yc see this big dent in my head? We'll, it was made by that brick

Ianouaoes In the Balkans.

Albania, Bulgaria and Roumania, although contiguous to one an other, speak three totally different languages. The Bulgarian tongue is that of ancient Russia, and Rou- manian resembles that of ancient Rome more closely than modern Italian does. Albanian has no mark ed affinity with any other language. though philologists have discovered in it some slight traces of Basque and Hungarian influence. Yet. strangely enough, the three Ian guages have one peculiarity in com mon-that of putting the article at the end of the word it qualities. Thus the title of the leading finan- cial paper of Bucharest is Curierul Financiar-the Financial Courier. "ul" being Roumanian for "the.' :.

Ask . True Friend. to Picture You as

uVN SNkeS"' sS sss'ss
 Few people-in fact, very few people indeed-ever realize the priceless value of the ancient coun- sel, 'Know myself" It seems so trite, so ordinary. It seems so easy to acquire-this knowledge. Does not every one possess it? Can it not be got by simply sitting down in d chair and yielding to a mood?
 And yet this knowledge is just about as difficult to acquire as knowledge of Chinese. Certainly nine hundred and ninety-nine peo- pie out of thousand reach the age of sixty before getting the rudi- ments of it. The majority of us die in almost complete ignorance of it. And none may be said to master it in all its exciting branches. Why. you can choose any of your friends -thc wisest of them-and instantly tell him something glaringly obvi- ous about his own character and actions and be rewarded for your trouble by an indignantly sincere denial! You had noticed it; all his friends had noticed it. But he had not noticed it. Far from having noticed it, he is convinced that it exists only in your malicious imagi- nation. For example, go to d friend whose sense of humor is notoriously imperfect and say gently to him, "Y our sense of humor is imperfect, my friend," and see how he will re- ceive the information. So much for the rarity of self knowledge.
 Self knowledge is difficult because it demands intellectual honesty. It demands that one shall not blink the facts, that one shall not hide ones head in the sand and that one shall not be afraid of anything that one may happen to sec in looking around. It is rare because it de- mands that one shall always be able to distinguish between the man one thinks one ought to be and the man one actually is. And it is rare be- cause it demands impartial detach- ment and certain quality of fine shamelessness - the shamelessness which confesses openly to oneself and finds d legitimate pleasure in confessing. By way of compensa- tion for its difficulty the pursuit of self knowledge happens to be one of the most entrancing of all pursuits, as those who have seriously practic- ed it are we'll aware. Its interest is inexhaustible and grows steadily.- Arnold Bennett in Metropolitan.

NO HORSE FOR HIM
interesting Statement OF Auto Sales
ma 70 Man Who Preferred a
Horse to an Auto.

Out in the great northwest. motor
cars this year are having the greatest
distribution ever recorded. Some OF
the stories the automobile men find
themselves n part OF are most unusu-
ally interesting.
Last week w. II. Stephens who
handles Marion motor cars in Mon
tana and the Dakotas for the Mime

Company. heard one OF the finest ar
guments about an automobile which
has ever come from an automobile
salesman. Mr.. stephens was visit
ing in Missoula AZ the Paxton garage
when somebody said: These here
automobiles are very nice. but I'd
ruther have a horse and buggy
Mr.. stephens stopped the demon
sfration Of the car long enough TO re-
mark in about n breath: You see

As stephens stopped FOR breath. tho

observed that he thought hc'd stroll
over 20 the livery stable and take a
look AT his nag
