her void Of unutterable blackness.
Deathly horror and nausea oyercame

Rich Seldom Extravaaant,

Extravaganza, oddly enough, is not
a habit of the rich so much as 1t is
Of the poor. 81
The Midases and Croesuses in every
neighborhood are pretty careful of the
dimes. They have thrifty habit Of
squeezing dollar till the eagle
screams-and not SO much is it
through miserliness as through the
habit of conserving, saving.
With wealth comes the instinct to
save. lax
Millionaires use the street cars, or
probably walk. People with slender
purses loll about in taxicabs. Only the
very rich and the very poor can az
ford to dress badly, is the saying. Who
are the people who dine with such
reckless extravaganza after the thea
ter in the cities? Among them are
there many mlllionaires?
Not many. They are more likely to

Brief HOLIDAY,

Joy is like a bird in flight, which
dips in its passing and touches US
with its wings. It comes from out Of
a Tar country and 1t tracks its way
on high. After that brief lowering
it will recover its former attitude, its
speed, and song Its throbbing heart
passes high over our throbbing cit
les and frozen hills. AS we watch
that flight of untrammeled wing we
wish that somehow we might cap
ture that blith eness and teach 1t to
dwell among men. Why should It
pause but never abide? We would
have that joy abide SO fxedly that 1t
would become peace. The holiday
season is like that. It stoops for
a little out of space, draws near our
dim earth, and sheds its brightness

divers complaints as a result of the

1t advisable to return for repairs while
yet they could, and also that they

though am not advertising it as yet,

conceived a little idea that the Off
Gals are putting into execution, but
until it has been tested l am no in

the idea is this: AS you know, we
have quite a powerful search light at
the observatory, and nights Of late
! have been in the habit of throwing
it about the mel ghboring cliffs and let
ting it rest for a while here and there
as matter of experiment. Well, to

and it seems that it did, for he put
himself before 1t and for: several mo-
ments remained motionless and dis
tinct, apparently as fascinated by its
brightness as had he been an elk or
other wild animal. That gave me my
second idea and the authorities adopt
ed it.. They are rigging up a rapid
fire gun to be placed Immediately over
the searchlight and which will move
in perfect conjunction with it. the
gun to be so sighted that when an OBJ
ject is in the center of the spot light,
the weapon will be automatically
pointed at him Then all one will
have to do will be to operate the
mechanism OF the gun and stream of
high velocity bullets will traverse
down the center Of the lane Of light
and in all probability riddle the target,
be- it Flying Man or anything else.
While the idea has mot been demon
strated practically, am fairly proud
of the suggestion, for being purely
mechanical it does away with the un-
certainty Of human aim. You have
only to set your straight travelling
light, await until your victim appears
before it and then work your straight
shooting gun. The bullets follow the
central light rays and must OF neces-
sity find their mark"

her whole cheeks were fiery red color

Crossing over to Carbon county

you meet scores of Indian names that
bespeak the topography of the coun-

given the forest north of the Blue
mountains by the Jesuit fathers, the

coal washed by waters, indicates that
the Indians were the original discov-
erers Of coal and knew what it was.
for, according to Roschil, historian of
the United Brethren, they worked it
into pipeheads and built pit fires with
it on which they cooked food in pots
made from the trunks of the gumberry
tree.
