Eossils In Profuslon.

DR.. Robert Broom of London, in a
recent lecture, says the Oldest known
fossils are 100000 years old. Wait,
please-it isn't necessary to inquire
too closely into the reasons on which
DR.. Broom bases his belief in this
matter, nor to kick up any dispute
about the question. But it is safe to
say that in every town and COM
munity, there are fossils far from h.
100000 years old They are persons
who walk about and hold converse
with their neighbors and are hope
lessly out of touch with affairs. They
are opposed to everything that savors
Of either newness or action. They
have tired of activity. Yet they per-
sist in hanging around on the out
skirts Of activity. What is to be done
with them? Oh, the natural way is
to get huffy and to call them fossils,
boneheads and all that sort of thing
But there is another way to dispose
of them. Let them have their say.

fulness and let the chariot roll on

When tn, Small Bow raIka

One day recently a coterie of youne
women in West Philadelphia complet.
ed plans for moonlight excursion on
the river, and when the evening Of
the trip arrived it was noticed that
one of the most charming members
of the party wore shawl about her
shoulders. One of her companions
wondered at this and to her query as
10 whether the wearer was afraid OF
taking cold received a negative reply.
Another suggested that possibly she
had malaria. This was also emphat.
ically denied At this juncture the ir-
repressible small brother of the shawl
wearing young woman volunteered to
explain matters. and despite his sis.

shawl is so that when she is on the
boat Bob can put his arm under it
and hug her, and she thinks nobody

RICHES IN HOUSE PLASTER
tana Found to Yield Gold In Pay
lnq Quantities.

Shipping plaster from house to a
smelter for the gold, silver, and lead
in it is a new departure in the way
of making money, but that Is what Is
being done by Frank Fish.
For about fifteen years Fish has
been working the failing at the old
Gregory mine, near Wickes. The
property is owned by the Helena and
Livingston company. Recently big
chunk of plaster fell from the cell
ing of one of the houses. Fish found
it was very heavy, and he had it as
sayed. The returns were satisfactory,
and then he obtained from the com
pany a lease, with the right to smeit
all of lie plaster in all Of the houses
in the town. AS the town has long
since been abandoned and the houses
were going to decay the leases did not
disturb Hny one.
Fish has already shipped eight tons
Of the plaster to the East Helena.
smelter, and the returns are said to
be satisfactory to him. The richness
of the plaster is not surprising.
When Gregory was on the map and
booming camp and houses were
built the sand used was taken from
the tailings. The methods of getting
the values out Of the ores were crude
and the tailings were rich. This sand
comprises the larger portion of the
material in the plaster, and now it
pays to smelt it.-Helena (Mont)

ON THE FIELD OF WATERL0 90
Memorial That Marks the Scene a
One Of the Worlds Great
est Battles.

Great among the landmarks Of tbs
world stands the Lion OF Waterloo ON
its mound 200 feet high, says the
Strand. Ten miles from the city Of
Brussels it marks the plain where over
$4,000 men we're killed. wounded. and
missing. 1t is hardly necessary to
say that It was fought on June IS,
1915, and that it eliminated the cam
paign following Napoleon's escape
from Elba and stopped his mighty et-
fort 20 conquer all Europe.
Tie Duchess of Richmond gave a
ball in Brussels on June Is; at mid
night Wellington, having already
heard that the outposts had been en-
gagged, went to the ball. Here he
found the Prince of Orange, the man
who seemed fated to cause useless
loss Of life through his blunders. Even
now he ought to have been at Binche,
where the duke promptly sent him.
aEer inqdiring for news.
Far from being surprised at the
evenings attack, as some writer's as
sert, the duke had dispatched his or
ders before he went to the ball, for at
2 a. m. strange sounds broke the
nights silence, and great masses Of
troops were on the move, bugles were
blowing everywhere and people opened
their windows to see the various reg
iments tramp past. A Highland band
were playing their bagpipes to the
swing of TIE BLACK Watch" as they
went out to battle through the Ma
muir gate. Curiously enough, many OF
the officers we're still wearing their
silk stockings and dancing pumps, for
the heat was so intense that men
went mad and died on the march; but
for the rest, they pushed on and were
soon under fire. The battle itself iB
eclipsed by the thought of the awful
aftermath; the plain so flled with the
dying and the dead that for three days
parties brought in the wounded.
E In the harry 300 bodies were flung
down a well. For 80 years the corn
crops were of deeper color where
they grew over the blood of the slain
on the scene where the Lion of Water
loo now forms the greatest Of the land

lecture, conceive new machines.
The auditives, on the other hand,
think more in sounds and words and
not in pictures. They naturally in-
clude the musicians, the men OF let

notice things around them less, and
