Find Gold Under Fossils

In Alaska the bones, and often the
entire bodies, of extinct animals, such.
as the mammoth, the mastodon. the
reindeer and the bison, are found
most abundantly in the layers of soil
directly above the goid-bearing gravels.
So intimate is this association between
fossil animal remains and the aurifer-
Gus deposits that many explorers who
have visited Alaska say that the fos-
sils serve the prospectors as indexes
of the metallic richness of the soil.
In ancient times both the gold and
the bones and bodies of the animals
were deposited at the bottom of valleys
by the. action of rivers and smaller
streams, many of which have now
disappeared. Consequently, the APP
pearance of fossils is an almost certain
indication that gold will be found in
the neighborhood. The cabins of many
miners are ornamented with huge tusss
and antlers, unearthed In the Dig
gings.

True Thrift.

While 1t is true that thrift Is not
miserliness and that pars.mony docs
not bring happiness or upbuilding. 1t
cannot be disputed that judicious saw
ing forms the only basis Of economic
progress and lasting happiness.
Thoughtless spending may bring
transitory joy. but such practices also
come accompanied by the torture of
worry and the more tangible realities
of poverty. Also the question must he
viewed from the standpoint of social
progress.
We must not live for self alone. Our
duty must run further than self-pleas-
ure and individual happiness. We
must be constructive, not only because
it is better for us, but also because it
is better for all mankind Let us be
extremely careful in diseouraging prac-
tees of thrift, even though it may seem
that the individual is denied certain
ephemeral and fictitious pleasures.

PHONE WORKED TOO WELL
New York Police at First Distrusted
important Message That Came
From St. Louis.

= - -
The telephone has frequently played
its part in catching thieves. but here's
a case in which 1t was almost In
strumentai in letting q man accused
OF embezzlement go unmolested-
all because it did its work so well
The telephone in the New York
detective headquarters rang one morn
ing recently and voice said, .'This is
Detective Awkward of st. Louis, speak
ing" The voice asked the arrest OF
a certain man who had gone to one
Of the New York hotels. and that he
be held for further instructions.
So clear was the tone as the man
made his request that the police were
at first in doubt as to whether the
call could have come all the way from
st. Louis and were inclined to the
theory that they were being hoaxed
by some New York practical joker.
However, detectives were sent out to
make a tour of the hotels of the city,
and in the meantime further particu-
lars arrived from st. Louis.
The man was finally located and
when arrested had In his possession
$4,000, according to the police. The
charge against him in st. Louis was
the embezzlemeat of $4,000 and re-
ceiving stolen property.

PIsTACHE TREES IN AMERICA
Experiment Of Government Plant Bu-
reau Seems Likely to Prove a
Complete Success.

Pistache nuts, which are familiar to
us chiefly in confectionery and as a
source of flavorings, are now produced
in considerable quantities in the Unit
ed States.
The largest and sturdiest trees that
grow in the deserts of the old world
the Sahara, the arid slopes Of the Eu-
pirates valley in Asia Minor, and the
dry wastes Of Beluchistan and Persia
are wild pistacl.es. This fact suggested
to the United States government plant
bureau the idea of introducing the pis-
tache into our own Southwest. Seed
lings, grown in its experimental gar
dens at Chica, CAL, have been dis
tributed by thousands to fruit growers
In California, Texas, Otah and else
where.
Seeds from old-world desert trees
were obtained to furnish drought-resist-
ing stocks; and, for grating and bud-
ding the best varieties were brought
from, Sicily, where the finest cultivated
pistache nuts are produced. Also SUI
perior varieties were imported from
Asia Minor. where pistaches are COM
monty eaten roasted and salted. like
peanuts.

There was little boy named Sam

Gus. He had DECIDED against 1t be-
cause he had discovered that the cir
Gus was not all fun and playing but
that 1t was studying and practicing
and hard. hard work.
He didn't want to feel that belonging
to. the circus was work. He would
rather be one of the audience--as he
had always been-who simply thought
of the circus people as being clever
and funny naturally.
Sammy had little cousin whose
name was Sammy, too. Stranger than
that, much stranger than that, was the
fact that little Cousin Sammy, too had
always wanted to join the circus and
had always wanted to be clown.
Now the circus went to the town
where Sammy's cousin lived soon aft.

first Sammy lived.

DEAD

In the death of Cornelius Oliver
Hoffman which occurred Monday ar
ternoon January 2. 1922 at three
s'clock Sank Centre lost one OF It's
most highly and respected cltlz ms.
The deceased was injured by ia L
ing sixteen feet when scaffold gave
away three years ago while erecting
a silo on the farm of his son-in- law
in Saskatchewan, and he nsyer fully
recovered from the accident. TINS
injury incapacitated him for about
three months. Being a very active
man in spite of his years, he was
very busy until about a month before
his death when he was compelled to
give up. He apparently stuff -red but
little and ate New Years dinner with
his family. He was conscious until
very short time before his death,
bidding the family good bye as he
passed away.
Mr.. Hoffman's fame as carpen-
ter and a worker with wood made
him in great demand by all who
wanted a really piece of finished
work done. For number of years
in the early days of Sank Centre he
was superintendent of the Hubbard
chair factory. Later he became
identified with the Henry Keller in
II terests of Sank Centre, and at the.
time of the burning of the factory
here several years ago he was gener-
n superintendent of the plant. He
went with the Kellers to Minneapolis
and upon the opening Of the NV
plant in the Flour City he had charge
of the output there for a numb,r of
years. In all he was cen ected with
the Kellers for period of twenty
years. 9.zrg
After leaving the Kellers Mr.. Hof-
man spert some time in assisting in
the construction of beet sugar
fsctories at st. Louis Park and Chas-

Tn deceased was the son of John
and Mary DePew Ho Tman. He was
born at Columbus, Ind, March Is,
1849. When he was about four years
of aga his parents moved to Shako-
pee, MINI. The family came to this
section of the state in 1862, and set
tied on homestead near Fairy Lake.
The father. John Hoffman, was killed
by The Indians on the Fair Lake
farm during the outbreak Of 1863.
Hearing a confusion in the barn he
went to ascertain the couse of the
disturbance and found the Indians at
tempting to steal the hor. es. The
body was found there sh*ftly after.

Jolly life.
1t was after the afternoon perform
-ance that he and his clown friend had
talk.
'Of course you can join the circus
If you want to do so,'' the clown told
him. WED be delighted to have you.
And you can play in the band too.
..Of course you couldn't do that for
quite time. You would have to learn
first and you would have to practice
for quite long time before you would
be able to do anything in public"
But You make mistakes" Sammy
said. Surely you don't have to prac-
tice?'
"We don't eh?" the clown said, as he
laughed. "AIy dear young man (and
Sammy felt most importantly we have
to know how to play or we wouldn't be
able to make funny mistakes. We
can't have stupid mistakes-we have
to make really funny mistakes and we
have to know how to play in order to
do that"
Sammy looked amazed. "Well,' he
said, 81 don't suppose I'd have to prac-
tice hard, and then too it would be
fun to always be making people laugh"

too and said. How dare you laugh
at me when have an liberated tootff?'
And they laughed still harder. They
thought it was a joke. And the same
thing happened when / stubbed my
toe -
Sammy was allowed TO stay behind
the scenes during the evening perform
/ ance. He did not want to be seen by
any of his companions in the tent. And
he felt it would be so exciting back OF
the scenes. But as each performer
came out after each act was over there
was nothing but hurryiEg and sour
rying to get ready to pack up and &c
to the next place.
Aren't you going to bed flrstf
! Sammy asked. And then he 'ealized
what a foolish questionable had asked
For, of course. the circus always ierl
