WAS FIRST TO MAKE COFFEE
Arabian Dervish Deservedly Made q
Saint, for His Discovery Of the
Popular Beverage. 4

The origin of coffee as beverage
is shrouded in many legends. Ac-,
cording to one Of the most interest
ing of these, Hadji Omar, an Ara
bian dervish, starving in the wilder
ness, saw some strange berries grow
ing on shrub. Eagerly he pulled.
them, and, peeling of the outer sbel,
sought to eat them. They were
very bitter, and he desisted.
Nothing else edible being in sight,
to satisfy his hunger he built a fire
and sought first to roast the berries
then to soften them in water. Tf
process was slow and tedious, and
the hungry dervish proceededit to gulP
down the discolored waten.. To his
amazement and delight, he found II
both nourishing and, refreshing.
This was in the year 1885. Re-.
turning to Mocha, on the Red sea-
he told the wise men of his discovery,
and exhibited the berries be had.
brought with him. After brewing
the new and wonderful drink, he
served it, and in return was feted BY
the grateful people. So popular did
Hadji Omar become because of this
discovery that he was madea saint.

SONGS OF THE OLD SOUTH
Proposal to Eliminate the "Dari<y d.
alect" Has Been Received with
Some Disapproval.

The proposal of committee OF
high-school music teachers in New
York city to have the ttnegro dia-
lect" eliminated from such songs as
"Dixie' and ''The Suwannee Rive" !"
is not likely to meet with general
approval. The contention is that
these songs corrupt the language,
and that children should be taught
only the purest English, while the
change, it is thought, also would
be helpful to the many foreign chill
dren for whom our language at its
best is full Of difficulties. Much Of
the charm Of the southern darky
songs, which have become familiar
to the American people almost to
the extent of being accepted as clas-
sizes in their way, and the only "folk
songs" that we may claim, is due to
the soft negro dialect, which lends
itself so melodiously to the lifting
tunes to which many of them are set.
It would seem better to leave these
ditties out of the music-school text
books and to substitute others writ
ten in "pure English" than to rob
them of so much of their quaint
beauty and sympathetic appeal. Let
the children sing something else, un-
til they are old enough to under
stand and appreciate the old songs
Of the South as they stand.-Phila.

LINENS GETTING scARcER.

Summing up the linen situation
recently, 'one. of the principal import
ers to this market spoke this way:
Business is as active as at ever ID
At this time Of the year, when every
one is trying to reduce stocks as far
as possible before taking inventory,
|aand orders are placed only for goods
that are really needed to meet some
special demand or to I'LL out . bro
ken line. Flax continues to get
scarcer and dearer as time goes en-,
and linens of all kinds are also get
ting scarcer and dearer. This will
continue, at least, until the war ends.

being let: out in this market below
the cost Of replacement, and this will
be done is long as present methods
of averaging mp buying and selling
prices are retained" New York

EDUCATION FOR CITIZENSHIP.

1t is reported from the bureau Of
naturalization in Washington that
more free public schools of the coun-
try than ever before are now CO
operating with the objects of this bu-
oeau. Last year $50 cities and
towns in ~ states developed efficient
cooperation in this matter of facili-
tating the efforts of foreign-born
persons to become American citizens.
The bureau is also supporting the
movement inaugurated in nearly
$50 other cities and towns having
the same purpose. Indeed, it ap-
pears that the work for citizenship
preparedness is likely to extend soon
to every state.
The bureau is preparing a text
hook for instruction in citizenship
for adult aliens generally, and it is
expected that this work will be- n

AGE IN EUROPE AND AMERICA
Idea That Men Grow Older Quicker Or
This Side Of the Water Can
BE Refuted.

"EliAu Root is seventy" " remarked
a British weekly, "and men grow old
much faster in America than in Eu-
rope" This is doubtless born of the
belief that Americans consume en-.
ergy at headlong pace. We know the
array of facts cited against us. Pal
merston was premier at eighty-one
Gladstone at eighty-three, Meter
Mich and Bismarck were driven ouA
of power at seventy-fve, Talleyraha
was a force till his death at eighty
four, Guizot till eighty-si1, Won
Moltke till nearly eighty-eight;
Ranke began his history Of the world
at eighty, and wrote twelve volumk
before he was ninety-one, while Buff
fon and Goethe were active octoge-
narians. Grant, Sheridan, McClel-
Ian, Hancock, Pope, Jackson, Hood
Hill and others began Civil-war serv-
ice before they were forty-yet look

erals, or Oyama and Kuroki. But
we forget the other side. Let ad-
mirers of Gladstone and Bismarck
look into the lives of j. Q. Adams.
Bancroft, Jefferson, Jackson and
Clay, not to mention minor figures
like Thurman. As for Goethe and
Button at eighty, was their energy

Howells and Burroughs? Our gen.

Communication

TO the Editor of The Leader.
Near Editor:
1 read in your Leader for last week
that a person signing themselves as
"one wishing to be informed" made
the statement that one could send to
the Twin Cities and buy choice sea-
soned meat and after paying the ex-
press to North Dakota have it cost
half the price that we pay for meat
in our local shops. I am glad that
this matter of the "high cost of liv-
ing" is being looked into and that we
find out who really is making the
common bat honest citizen kill him
self with hard work trying to meet
the advance in prices.
Now through the columns Of your
paper I wish to ask the person who
wrote the article in your paper last
week to print list Of meat prices
from the Twin Cities and also inform
me what the express rates from the
Twin Cities to Washburn, as do not
intend to pay my hard earned money
to one who is trying to rob me, and
IL I can buy meat as cheap in the Twin
Cities as the writer last week stated,
I certainly will send to the Twin Cit
les for my meat. I also expect to $50

OATMAN AIREDALES
 IN NEVADA QUARANTINE

The Nevada quarantine against dogs during the rabies epidemic among coyotes has hit a couple of Oatman men in a way that they do not appreciate. H. J. Platt, who is employed at the United Eastern, has two fine thoroughbred Airedale pups, and he attempted to take them from Greenwater, Cal, across Nevada into California again. When he reached Wonder, Churchill county, the dogs were stopped by the authorities and interned. They have been held there for several months and not allowed to proceed.
 Application for a permit to take them through the state has been made to various functionaries, and finally to State Veterinarian Mack at Reno, who flatly refused. A letter sent to him stated that the pups were young and would be worthless unless they could be had and trained at once, but that appeal was of no avail. It also was stated that they never were in the vicinity of rabid coyotes-never saw one, in fact-but that likewise went off like water on a ducks back.
 One of the pups was given to J. w. Ryan, clerk at Lovin & Withers, who is a nephew of MT. Platt, and both owners are much annoyed at being de- nied possession of their property.

SHATTUGK ARIZONA
 EARNINGS DECREASE

Shattuck Arizona Copper company reports for the quarter ended June 30 gross earnings of S1 POT, ,78O and net of S689,615, which compares with a net of S781 ,38O for the March quar- ter, noting a decrease of S91, ,765, says the Boston Commercial.
 The decrease in earnings is ac- counted for by a decrease of S33,1S4 in gross and an increase of S5S,58O in expenses and taxes, which latter amounted to S518,164 for the June quarter.
 Net earnings for the June quarter are att the rate of S7.SS per share per year, and for the year to date are at the annual rate of $S.4O per share.
 During the June quarter S437 800 was paid in dividends, as compared with $35O,OOO paid in the March quarter.
 Net operating cost per pound of copper during the quarter was 1909 cents, while the general office ex- penses and taxes paid amounted to .35, making a total net cost per pound of refined copper of 10.44 cents. This is considerably higher than for the first quarter and was due to in creases in wages, higher cost of sup plies and the lower production of all metals on account of inability to mine lead ores the greater part of the quarter.
 Development work amounting to 5.S2S feet was done during the three months, of which 1, 4,199 feet were drifts, 915 feet intermediates and 713 feet raises.
 Production was 4,196,S7S pounds of copper. There was also recovered 1O47 ounces of gold, 7O,35O ounces of silver, and 92,459 pounds of lead.
 Refinery delivered 4,6OO, ,SO5 pounds of copper, of which 862,554 pounds was remainder of the 1915 production, and balance against the production of first quarter.
 All second quarter production was sold, except s7,91S pounds of copper, which was inventoried at 25 cents a pound.
 Including unsold copper at 25 cents, an average price of 26.s5 cents was received for the quarter.
 Production at the mine was car ried on for 80 working days at the rate of 525 dry tons of ore per work ing day. There were only 643 dry tons of lead ore mined during the quarter, all of which was taken out during June, as the Ell Paso smelter was unable to take lead ore during April and May.
 The lead shown as recovered for the quarter was the remainder of the March shipments for which settle ments had not been made at the end of the first quarter.
