ton of Price.

A man seeking to purchase a new
hat visited a haberdashery shop the
other day with the proprietor Of which
he was on very intimate terms. After
trying on several of the latest fashions
he casually inquired the price Of the
hat. He was informed that it was
sold at So.
Isn't that rather steep?" remarked
the customer. isn't it possible for
you to make a reduction for me? !

that the price is a trile high"

concessions for an old friend?"
Because Of our friendship you want
me to make a reduction" said the
owner, dismissing the subject. Don't

Finer Prints Identify,

Taking of the finger print system
for the Identification of criminals, a
Scotland Yard detective remarked the
other day that, although no system is
infallible, the police, given a finger
print of a man who has been through
their hands, will tell you who he is in
nine hundred and n%inety-nine cases
out Of a thousand. Furthermore, it
is a matter of Indifference to the Eng
fish police by which finger or thumb
the print is made; it can be easily
traced. 1t was pointed out that in
France the police depend to a great
extent on physical measurement for
Identification, but while measure
ments are always taken by Scotland
Yard, they r only regarded as of
secondary Importance.

the eminent Englishman Who has been
awarded the Nobel prize for literature.
Whether to sail and see thee. girl of my

or whether to stay
And see thee not! How vast the differ
Of Yea from Nay

At no far day
On our I've mounds. and then what will
Yet l will see thee. maiden dear, and
make
The most I can
OF what remains to US amid this brake
Cimmerian
Through which we grope, end from whose
thorns we ache,
While still we scan
Round our frail faltering progress for
some path or plan.
BY briefest meeting something sure Is
Nor god nor demon can undo the done;
insight the seen,
Make muted music be as unbegun,
Though things terrene
Groan in their bondage till oblivion super

So, to the one long sweeping symphony
From times remote
Till now, of human tenderness, shall we
Supply one note,
Small and untraced yet that will ever be
Somewhere Ihoat
Amid the spheres, as part of sick LIES

from participating in the gold hunt.
Particular significance attaches to
the find because of it's location near
rocks on the Ford Hodgman County
line. There in 1865 seven men from
the Colorado gold fields. it is claim
ed, hid between $50, 900 and $780, 900 in
gold bullion when they were attacked
by Indians All but one of the white
men were killed. The survivor reach
ed an old Santa Fe trail party at
Pawnee Rock, told the story, and died.
Since then repeated search for the
bullion has been futile. Much ex-
element prevails over these finds,
and citizens of Jetmore and ranchers
believe the remainder of the buried
treasure will be unearthed.
