VAST RICHES IN OLD MINES
Wealth Awaits Lucky Prcspector
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 10
put forward the theory, though in
romance, that many old and but half
worked mines might vet await the
patient toll of the searcher. Except
in cases where there had been long
continued use, it is aot 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. 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 1t has been found anew,
to enrich the finders, for the ledge
proper is said to be from four to six
feet wide with q rich quartz streak
that shows the gold shining in It's
grasp. The gold has always been
there and somebody for many years
has believed It to be there; it only
needed to be found to add another
to the romances of fact.

So YEARS IN PRISON
Sentence of a Couple of Dangerous
Hotel Robbers

Ramon Rodriguez and Adriano Alva-
rez, convicted Of brutal attack upon
Aloysious Broderlck, Texas oil man,
and his wife, at the Hotel Knickerbock-
er, and the theft of 100000 worth of
jewelry from them, received the long
est prison sentence of present day re-
cord yesterday when they were
brought before Judge. John j. Mcintyre
In the Court of General Sessions.
After declaring such crimes should
be punished by death, Judge Mcintyre
said the ordinary term of life" sent
ence has been so reduced by commuta-
tons for good conduct as to be too
brief to meet the demands of the case.
He then fixed the sentence for each
of the defendants at fifty-two and a
half years.
Both of these men were murderers
at heart" said the Judge. They were
stayed from murder only because it
did not best fit their purposes. They
are as desperate, murderous and dan.
gerous as any hardened criminals who
ever came before me. 1t is time for
the Legislature to pass law furnishing
robbery and burglary in the first de.
sgree by death in the electric chair"

SAYS WOMAN is A ChATTEL
British Husband Bases Divorce Darn
age on Claim Woman Has No
Legal Status.

London.--It is a basis of hus-
bands claim for divorce damages that
his wife is still in fact II not In law
a chattel Of his. This was the theme
of an interesting argument before JUS
tice McCardle In the divorce court,
arising out OF case in which dam
ages were sought against the CO.
respondent by the husband. Counsel
for the petitioner said that up to the
matrimonial causes act Of 1853 s
woman was regarded as chattel and
the jury had to award damages ac-
cordlng to her value to her husband.
His lordship then asked when had a
wife ceased to be regarded as chat
tel. Counsel for the petitioner said
he had not suggested that this idea
had gone.
Judge-You say she is still to be
regarded as a chattel?
Counsel-Yes with slight modfica'
tons. The question in assessing DAM
ages Is what. she is worth.
Judge-Then you call her quasi
chattel?
After some further discussion JUS
tice McCardle asked If as the result
of counsel's researches he could show
that wife could bring action against
the, seduoer. of her. .husband.,s.D ,er.
Counsel said there was no such case
and that there could not be such an
action because woman had not the
same legal status or the same legal
rights as man.

Last summer Kokomo, Ind. had the

man who was easily within earshot
of eighty years. The pilot took him
aboard and scared around In straight

be dangerous to his heart action.

Imports Of Precious Stones.

The value of the precious stones Inn
ported into the United States In the
fiscal year that ended recently was
greater than it had been in any pre-
vious year. Pearls are growing more
popular, but because the war inter-
fered with the fisheries they have be-
come so scarce that dealers cannot
supply the demand. The South Africa
diamond producers are taking advan-
tage of the favorable market to un-
load the diamonds that they have been
accommodating during the war. Ac-
cording to the National City bank of
New York half the diamonds in the

Misuse of Words.

The misuse Of words in literature
of ungoverned and ungovernable sensi-

threaten the validity of all definitions.
The connection between sign and thing
signified has been so severed that 1t
resembles the logic of that eminent
master of augmentation of whom it
was said that his premises might be
afflicted with the continent smallpox
without his conclusion being in any
danger Of catching it." Objects are
distorted, relations disturbed, language
put upon the rack to torment it into
intensity and the old composition
seems like Tennyson's organizing
grooming for power."-Edwln Percy

Avoid Artificial Light.

Victory windows are windows wide
open TO the light. In the early autumn
their screens and awnings are re-
moved. When dusk creeps along in
the afternoons, their shades are drawn
to the very top. No heavy curtains
hang in them, for these absorb the
rays. They are very clean. So much
light comes into these windows and II
goes SO far into the corners and lin.
gers so late, that gas and electricity
are not needed within SO long as there
is a little brightness without. When
artificial light is saved the coal is
