During the l. months ended last
April 0, according to Mr.. Hays, total
of S6.3OO,O0o was stolen from the mails,
but in the six months following the
announcement that postal employees
would be armed the total fell to SSlS s.
S69. The advisability Of enacting' leg
islation authorizing the government to
nav death benefits to the families OF
postal employees slain by bandits is
understood to have been discussed to-
day by the cabinet.
AS n further deterrent to mail rob-
berries Attorney General Daugherty
has suggested to the district attorneys
in the various states that the courts
be urged to impose heavier sentences
where convictions are obtained for
mail robberies. Mr.. Daugherty eX-
pressed the opinion that the wide
spread unemployment was responsible
for much of the crime in the country.
Men being out of work are more ike

their eagerness to find the precious
metal they threw away from their
pans bluish-gra substance as
worthless.
This was osmiridium,- but the men
did not know it, and it is eight times
more valuable than gold, and worth at
the present time about $50 an ounce.
When the men got back to the set
tlement they mentioned the occurrence
to mining engineer, who immedi-
ately asked them what they did with
the substance. They replied that they
left it on the river bank, and the en-
eineer exclaimed, 1T must be osmiri-
dunn"
The next morning the whole party
started for the spot, only to find on
theit arrival that the tropical rains
and the swollen river had washed
away most Of the precious stuff. What
remained was carefully raked together

todays cabinet meeting and President

proval, of Mr.. Hays plan TO cheek loot

The postmaster general also an

THE COST OF IGNORANCE
Prospectors Throw Away a Fortune
Because They Did Not Know.

An interesting history attaches to
a small package about two and half
inches square, which arrived in Lon
don early this summer.
1t weighed two and a, half pounds
and was eagerly bought by AZ Amer
lean firm for $4,000.
The package contained osmiridium
(osmium and its alloy. iridium), used
for the tipping OF fountain-pCn points
and for delicate bearings Of fine ma
chinery.
The discovery of osmiridium, which
is a member of the platinum group of
metals, constitutes an interesting ro-
nance.

small group of prospectors were wash
ing for gold in one of the river beds

Mexicans Come for Chickens.-Some
Interestingly conjecture made its round

ports that Francisco Villa, rotorious

buying game fowls and fighting cocks
from Col Tobe Hester of Hester. In

reports that Villa was at Hester re-

It is a known fact that the bandit
leader is n great fancier of fine fow.s

have fought a bit himself with repre-
sentatives of the Mexican federal gov

Two Mexcans did recently put IN
their appearance at Hester, however, to
buy game fowls, but neither could
speak English with any fluency at all.

THE DEVILS TOWER
By TT MAXEY

tTHIS peculiar freak of nature
i which has become one of Uncle
Sans National Monuments, is located
near -Sundance in northeastern -Wyo-
ming. 1t is gigantic rock, 900 feet
high, probably 60 feet in diameter at
the top and a mile around at the
base. Rising sheer from the level
plain, it IS visible in some directions
for almost a hundred miles.
Undoubtedly this tower was useful
10 primitive races as well as to early
pioneers as a landmark. TiS thought
that during the subsequent Indian
wars members of the Sioux and Gro"
tribes directed their marches by the
aid of fires and other signals flashed
from this ever-viSible tower.
AS one approaches this mUnstrouS
rock, his amaZement and awe in
creases. because it seems Incredible
that any force of Nature could have
carved this solitary monument.
To climb to the top would seem an
impossibility, yet it is said that
number Of years ago a man and
woman accomplished this feat sue
cessTully.
Now that the war is behind us and
Uncle Sam has more time to devote
to home matters, it seems not unlikely
that he may deem it advisable To
send an expedition to the top Of his
new possession and cause a series of

1t has done me world Of good. we
