ORIGIN or "ToMasToNn"

From the Portiand oregonian.
 Gold Hill, Ore,-The several recent newspaper and magazine stories going the rounds of the orlgin of the name Of Tombstone, Ariz., which appeiiation was adopted from the famous mine which made the diseoverer Ed Schief- fin. Gold tIli boy. millionaire, give varied versions.
 According to Judge c, E. Watson of Gold Hill lifelong friend and adviser of the prospeetor, the naming of this r.eh mine came about in the following manner.
 1t was in the late 'F0s when Geroni- mo the famous Indian ohieftain, was giving United States soldiers q merry chase in the southwest that sehefflin found some very promising prospects in the Tombstone district, but on ac- count of tha Indian warfare and short age of supplies in this isolated eeun- try, he covered his new find and re- tired to Nevada,
 The next spring, with only his hituHtS anu paSh outii'l eii' i"i t"e purpose of getting q gruhstake, he en- gagged himself as guide to detaeh- nent of United States cavalry, which was seeking route into the Indian country beyond sehiefflin's find,
 Reaching the diversion point, he left the troopers and pointing to the distant hills, he said. "out there l expect to find my fortune" The commanding officer replied saying, 'fesl You'll find your tombstene-oi' Geronimo will get you"
 So schiefflin called his bonanza "Tembstone."

Troubles OF Life.

1t would be great thing if people
could be brought to realize that they
can never add to the sum Of their hap
piness by doing wrong. In the case Of
children. indeed, we recognize this ::
We perceive that a spollt child is not
a happy one; that It would have been
far better for him to have been pun
ished at first and thus saved from
greater suffering in after life. 1t ia a
beautiful idea that every mai has
with him a guardian angel; and it Is
true, too, for conscience is ever on
the watch, ever ready to warn us of
danger We often feel disposed to
complain and yet 1t is most migrate

are sent here in preparation for an
other and better world. Well. then,
why should we complain of what Is

Their philosophy gives them no vision

they even rant at length against the

ascriblng their existence to luck and
their continuance of life to fortune,
but as TO getting along among others
that's neither luck nor fortune. To

HASPOWERFUL INFLUENCE
OVER RHEUMATISM

Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this
terrible disease left him helpless and
unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study that no one can be free
from rheumatism until the accumulated
impurities, commonly called uric acid
deposits, were dissolved in the joints
and muscles and expelled from the
body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and fin
ally compounded q prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism from
mis- system. -t"*

Worlds Debt to Great Minds.

1t is through the tolls of personal
sacrifices that we make progress.
Faradays poverty made keen his
study of chemistry. He lived for it
and to him much OF the worlds pres
ent progress is due. Humphry Davy
has done much to help the world, but
it allowed him to perform his great
experiments with kitchen pots and
pans. Michelangelo has well earned a
place among the immortals, but his
poverty was such that he had TO share
his bed with his three assistants while
engaged on his great statue of Pope
julius II. A smaller man would have
quit in disgust or he would have gone
on strike for higher pay. Such devo-
ton is bound to live and benefit the
people who come after them.-Grlt

Birds Used For Fishing

In Japan the natives have the birds
do their fishing for them 10 a great ex-
tent. The custom OF having sea birds
catch fish is pracuced widely, pariicu-
lhrly on the Magyar river in the PROV

once caught and trained will work
well for % years. The fishing always
Is at night by torch light. says The
American Forestry magazine. Cords
are tied around the birds and they are
let over the side of boat a dozen It a
time. The torches attract the fish and
then the fisherman is the busiest man
in the world for he has to work fast.
The average is about $50 fish per hour
per bird. They work for three hours
at time.
