Miss Brown, a colored girl twenty
years of age, said she wouldn't mind
obliging Mr.. Jones. 1t occurred to her
that if Mrs. Jones should die she might
be Mrs. Jones herself. Jones was
well to do darky on the shady side OF
forty and had three pickaninnies. Miss
Brown supported herself by washing
and ironing and thought that if she
could permanently change her Occupa-
ton to taking care of a family it would
be an advantage.
"When do yo' want me to come, Mr..
Jones?' she inquired.

Mrs. Jones was removed in the hos

hour later Miss Brown, who was com

settled herself down in her place. The
children were playing in the street,
and Sue did not disturb them. She

1t is not unusual to hear a Bedouin
upon reaching camp where water is

Bedouins' long marches across dry
countries the size of the water skins
is nicely calculated to just outlast the
journey, and they rarely allow them

wife with a solemn countenance to
find that Sue had prepared a cup of
tea for him and had it set out on the
table with piece of corn pone.

Her thoughtfulness braced up Nose
as much as the refreshments.

asked.
"POrely."

She was worried about her children
and Nose found it necessary to tell her
that he had secured the services of
some one to take care Of them. He did
not tell her that he had got a young
woman, for he had seen evidences al

into his wife's shoes, and he knew that
this would worry her.
Perhaps it would have gone well
with Sue had she curbed her. impa-
tience. Though Mrs. Jones was report
ed getting weaker every day, she hung
on in a very aggravating way. Sue got
tired asking Nose after his visits to
the hospital how he had found his wife
hearing only the repetition, "Porely,
very porely; she's gwine down hill pow

to go to the hospital and ask questions

New Clothes Good as Medicine.

The best tonic for the homemaker

There is not merely Joy but real
health-giving in a new hat or gown.

hat instead of box of pills, or that

of energy than a bottle of iron. Re-

DEEPEST OF MINES
Moro veIho, Located in the Gold
Belt of Brazik
Was First Worked by Portuguese Dc
eoverers In 16es-combined Depths
Of Connected Shafts Have
Reach 1924 Feet.

In a recent bulletin Of the Pan
American Union there IL an account
of the worlds deepest mine, written
by Benjamin LIE Roy Miller Of Lehisn
university and Joseph T. Singewaid'
Jr., of Johns Hopkins. The mine 10
She Moro velho. in the gold belt OF
Brazil. where the Portuguese were
first induced to settle by the discov-
cry of the yellow metal. The first gold
was discovered in 1899. near the pres
emit city of Ouro Preso. The gold was
coated with a black substance ana
hence was called "ouro preto"-black
gold. The city which they founded
was called villa RIGA de Ouro Preto-
the Rich City Of Black Coda name
which was somewhat cumbersome
even for the Portuguese. 50 they final
ly shortened 1t to just Ouro Preto, the
name by which 1t IL known today.
Once II was the most important city
in Brazil, the valuable metal being OBJ
tanned from the gravel Of almost every
stream in the region. Not only tho
stream gravels yielded gold. but many
gold-bearing quartz veins were worked.
Just when the MORO Velho mine
was first opened 10 not known, but It
was being operated toward the close
Of the eighteenth century. and consid-
cradle work had been done when the
present company obtained control OF
It in 1884. The ore body consists Of
q great vein of unusual persistence
and regularity that dips into the
earth at an angle of about IS degrees.
It may be likened to a gigantic knife
blade. held vertically and thrust into
the earth at this angle, with the point
still lower than the present deepest
workings. And It IL these workings
that make the mine rearkable. Tho
combined depths Of the connected
shafts give a total Of 1924 feet. In
other words, here is a gold mine that
is being worked at q depth of more
than a mile below the surface of the
earth.
The rock temperatures increase as
the earth's crust is penetrated. In
some regions the increase being az
much as one degree Fahrenheit for
each fifty to sixty feet increase in
depth. At this rate the temperature
at the bottom of this mine would be
over 100 degrees higher than at the
surface, and fried ham and eggs might
be prepared for the miners without
any other heating apparatus than the
loose rocks lying about. incidentally
miners would be going through the
frying process. too. Fortunately. how
ever, in this mine the rate of increase
of temperature is only one degree for
every 100 to 100 feet, giving the
rocks a temperature Of only l12 &C.

into the mine by means OF fans the
temperature is lowered to little less
than 100 degrees. Even at that 1t 10

than 100000 annually.

Court.

Thursdays regular session of court
was taken up principally with settle
ment of estates.
There was one criminal matter, Hor-
ace Jackson being brought in on a
charge of stealing watch and other
articles from house on Washington
street. He pleaded not guilty.
Robert Peacock asked to have set
aside the conviction Of Thomas X.
Kenny, of Columbus. Kenny had
been taken before Justice Black, of
Columbus, charged with being drunk
and disorderly. The complaint was
that Kenny ''loitered and assembled
on the streets of Columbus, being dead
drunk on the steps of the store of W..
8. Bullock" Mr.. Peacock argued that
the store steps were not "a public
place, as required by the statute. He
recited cases which showed that bar
room is not public place within the
meaning of the law but the corridor of
hotel may be such. He also showed
that Kenny was not lettering on the
streets but was found dead drunk" on
the store steps. Mr.. Peacock contend
ed that the steps were private property
and that Kenny could not have been
disorderly as he was according to COM
plant, dead drunk". The man had
been sentenced to pay a fine Of 800
with imprisonment in the county Jail.
Judge Lippincott decided that Kenny
could have been committed as plain
"drunk" but that he was not guilty
under the disorderly act, and he direct
ed the release of the prisoner.
