Who Can Find One, Though Many
Are Known to Exist.

We are all familiar with Sir Rider
Haggard's king Solomon'S Mines"
nor was he by any means the first TO
put forward the theory, though in a
romance, that many old and but half
worked. mines might yet await the.
patient toll of the searcher. Except
in cases where there had been long
continued use, it is not at all improb-
able that there are ancient mines
ready to reward the intelligent
methods of today But now In Idaho,
we are told, ''the lost gold mine OF
the Upper Salmon river district" has
been rediscovered. A rich ledge had
been found by two prospectors and
worked By them little; then they fell
out and Spokane policeman, who had
the secret from one of them, sought
the mine for 20 years; then he fell
out, and now it has been found anew,
to enrich the finders, fOf the ledge
proper is said to be from four to six
feet wide with rich quartz streak
that shows the gold shining In its
grasp. The gold has always been
there and somebody for many years
has believed it to be there; 1t only
needed to be found to add another
to the romances of fact.

AS LITERATURE IS "MADE"
kpling Manuscript Shows Author Pos
sessed Of at Least One Great
Quality Of Genius.

There turned up, the other day. In
q sale OF manuscripts a particularly
interesting specimen Of literature in
the making. Mr.. Rudyard Kipling sent
it in typewriter copy to the editor
Of the National Observer, Mr.. Henley,
and 1t appeared under the title "Tom-
linson" in January, 1892; but between
the coming Of the typewriter sheets
and the appearance Of the printed
poem good many things happened
to the manuscript, some due to the
author and some to the editor. One
imagines Mr.. Henley editing Mr.. Kip
ling, situation which the author an
ticipated, for against certain lines he
had written adm0nitions and dire
threats, although there is no evidence
to show whether Mr.. Henley let the
lines stand because he liked them or
because he was terrified. In another
item In the same sale one sees that
Mr. Kipfing first wrote the poem
Cleared" in the character OF an Irish
man, but when he saw 1t In proof he
altered the phonetic spelling. Which
indicates, incidentally, the capacity for
taking pains which Is an important
factor in successful authorship. even
IL 1t fails to stand, despite a we'll
known quotation, for the whole OF
genius Christian Science Monitor.

WOMAN EARNED HER LIBERTY
UnIsoksd-For Suffering Endured by
etoWaWay Who Was Making Her
Way to Freedom.

Gone was the Bosporus and in its
place we saw the leaden waters OF the
Black sea. From the portfolio OF
Josef's cabin we could distinguish
many miles west of us the coast line
of the country in which White had
spent three years, according to Capt.
Alan Bolts "Stowawayss Inc" in Asia.
Feodor soon left us, for he had to
bring other stOwaways to the light OF
day. From every concealed Granny or
the vessel men and women, almost as
light-hearted as ourselves at deliver
ance from the Turks. were coming Into
the spen.
One Of the st0wRways, a passport
less woman whom the aged captain
Was taking with him to Odessa, did
not rejoice for some time. AS hiding
place for her the old man had chosen
q deep locker in his chartroom on the
bridge. There she had remained for
the last two days. Now, Rosa, the
kitchen wench. knew nothing OF the
captains lady. That morning, not
wishing to send her own particular
stowaway--a Turkish deserter with
coal-blackened face, untrilnmed beard
and decidedly odOrous clothes--back
to the bunkers, where he had spent
the previous day, she thought OF the
locker as temporary home. Dump
ing him inside the locker. she fas-
tened the lid and ran back to the
kitchen. The Turkish deserter landed
with some violence on the captains
lady and both received bad fright as
they clutched at each other In the
darkness. Yet the lid could not be re-
moved from the inside and the wom-
ans screams were unheard outside the
little room. The air In the unventi-
lated locker grew more and more
stuffy. Finally the woman tainted.
The Turk, tired after long spell OF
cramped 'wakefulness In the bunkers
and the kitchen, composed himself
philOsophically and went to sleep.

ganizing q troop. He talked to the
boys for time and then taught them
several yells, some for their school
and some for the principal, all OF
which made a decided hit with them.
A few days later they asked their
teacher to invite him back, but she
refused, pleading that their time was
needed for their regular school work.
Another few days and their request
was repeated, only to meet with the
same refusal and the same excuse.
It was almost week before the

then the genius Of the class did 1t.
''Say, Miss W." he began,
"don't you feel like you would like to

CEMETERY OF THE FUTURE.
Government Scientist Draws Pleasing
Picture Of Resting Places OF
Loved Ones Gone Before.

Cemeteries are not cheerful places.
Burial lots are cared for during two
or three generations and then TOO
commonly are neglected. Weeds cover
the graves and fallen tombstones are
allowed TO lie. The long-dead are for
gotten.
DR.. David Fairchild, distinguished
government scientist, urges q new de-
parture. He thinks that cemeteries
should be made attractive and that
the principal feature of a great city
burying ground ought to be beautiful
building somewhat resembling IL
brary, with aIcoves and quiet hooks.
Instead of book-stacks it would have
fireproof vaults containing personal
records of members of the families
whose lost ones are buried under fiat
stones amid the charming surround
ings of vast garden. These records
would include all kinds of data relat-
ing to the dead-accounts of their
most noteworthy doings. photographs
etc.
"Cannot you imagine" says DR..
Fairchild, "strolling into the hall of
the dead, to find there, in their proper
place. all of the personal records of
your family for generations backf
There are the photographs of your
grandparents. of departed uncles and
aunts, or little ones who did not live
to grow up. all with stories OF their
lives attached and letters and anec-
dotes.
with these might be preserved
photographic records. of the voices OF
the dead, so that they could be heard
TO talk; and rooms might be fitted up
for privately viewing moving pictures
Of the departed, who would thusly be
made to come alive again.
The dead could thus be made, In
sense, to live on indefinitely. Between
the living generation and the past
would be established a definite and
permanent tie.

USE DOGS AS sMueGLERs
Ing Liquor and Drugs into the

Training dogs. to smuggle liquor
across the Rio Grande river is the
latest device Of ingenious minds Of
those who make = living by means
Of Illicit importation to the United
States Of liquor and drugs. That In
novatiOn I'm line running came to light
at Ell Paso, Tex, recently when q
Mexican river guard shot dog
smuggler" In the act of swimming the
Rio Grande with four bottles OF
teQuila, Mexican liquor of cactus
distillatinn. tied across his back.
The dog, as the story of the serv-
Ice to bis master In told by United
States customs men, had been MAX
Ing nightly trips between Juarez and
Ell Paso with contraband goods for
several months. The strange, but
regular, actions of the animal drst
were noted by customs officers about
two months ago. Beginning at two
o'clock In the morning, the dog would
begin his operations. Signal lights
flashed by confederates In the gang Of
smugglers stationed on each side Of
the river always preceded the dogs
trip across stream. DaShing out OF q
cluster of sQuaiid adobe houses along
the Mexican side Of the river, the AMI
NAL would plunge into the Rio Grande
with his load.
Emerging on the American side, the
"smuggler" always was successful In
eluding pursuers, who often sought to
lassO the dog, being loath to shoot an

French service.
But that is not the whole story. Out

About so years ago the story OF VIII

cut their eye teeth on.

synthetic Vinegar and AcetIc Acid.
