The Tramp’s Bit.
A woman noted for her philanthropy
was approached by a novel kind of
beggar the other day. Ho wished mon-
ey instead of a “handout."
“Wlmt is your great need of money
right now?” she asked, her hand on
her open purse. “Are you hungry?"
“No. lady, it ain’t that so much,” he
explained, “but I gotta do my hit buy-
in’ Thrift stamps.”
What Was Coming.
On the night of the first big min-
strel show in Richmond n private en-
tered one of the boxes with a magnifi-
cently bejeweled and befurred young
woman on either arm. Lord Chester-
field had nothing on him for chival-
rous bearing and grandiloquent con-
cent for the comfort of the ladies.
They were conspicuously long in get-
ting settled. Not being able to stand
it any longer, or, perhaps, prompted
by jealousy, a soldier in the balcony
yelled down:
“That’s all right, old top; you’ll be
washing dishes tomorrow.”—Judge.

Mr. O L. Glasgow of Dacoma. one

an of the house came to the lad’s res-

Flanders Mud.
The following is a Munchausen tale,
showing the quality of the mud in
Plunders at the present day:
A soldier walking along a rond no-
ticed a hat, which lie attempted to
kick out of the mud. What was his
surprise to find a head under it and to
hear a voice calling for help.
When the man was extricated he
said: “I was on horseback." So to-
gether they proceeded to dig out the
horse. The horse’s mouth was found
tc. i>e full of hay taken from a wagon
which had sunk still farther down.
Each staff member has at his com-
mand the knowledge and resources c f
the organization. Many people suf-
fer from diseases that can be alleviat-
ed just because they cannot afford to
go to high priced Specialists and Hos-
pitals at a 1 rg distance from the r
home. No community has a sufficient
numbsr suffering from these diseases
to support 'Hospitals for their treat-
ment and cure. The United Doctors
have solved the problem. Their high-
ly trained Specialists go to each com-
munity and will advise a proper course
of treatment for the sufferers and in-
struct them how 1o take care of them-
selves at home. No matter what you
have been told or the experience you
had with other physicians, consult
him on this vis't. It costs nothing. If
youp case is incurable he will give you
advice as may stay and relieve the dis-
ease. Married ladies must come with
the:r husbands and minors with their
parents or guardians.

Much Excitement Over Mineral Find
—Three Shafts Are Yielding
High Grad* Ore
\
Copper deposits in paying qua'nt -
t.ies are said to have been, discovered
on farms near Hillsdale and three
shafts are already tapping the vein.
Specimens that have been assayed
shew up 11 per cent for some pick'd
samples, and ‘.)<>. 97 a d 98 per cent
for the rarer sheet deposit.!. The first
shaft was sunk on the Barnes farm,
one and one-half m les south of lli.ls-
dale. It was discovered years ago
when C. P. Barnes, who located there
when the Strip was opened, dug a well
red at 73 feet struck sheet copper. S.
W. Barnes, his son, says that when
the sun slune into the well it looked
like someone had dumped a “bushel
of brand new pennies in there.”
Griffits and Williams have part of
the Barnes farm leased, and about
450 acres around then*. Their shaft
i; down 65 feet and now has 10 feet
of water hi the hole. Work i sus-
pended uni! ihe arrival of a pump and
shaft.
They struck the first pay dirt at 45
feet, finding a five-foot vein rf n.
with an . i ht inch vein of rich sheet
deposits. The ore occurs in several
forms n the red ard white sandstone,
but never in the pure red. It is found
in small nuggets, in crystals in the
gypsum and clone, in bullseyes in the
white circles in the red sandstone,
and in thin sheets.
Another chaft. a community affa'r,
to which the farmers contribute leases
or cash, is on the Liming fafrn.about
one-half mile outh of Hillsdale. There
is a fifty foot shaft, with traces of
copper from 17 feet on down. They
have made tests n the ore with the
cyanide process, which acts on both
copper and gold, and cla m traces of
the latter metal also. One man work-
ing on this shaft asserted that there
were traces of platinum, aluminum,
silver, iron and gas, as well. The
sheet copper vein has not been reached
here yet.
R. L Taylor, < ne mile west of
Hillsdale, has a 30 foot shaft, with
traces of the metal from 12 feet down.

With nindor twine high in price,
having it in quantities will be great
economy. Small bundles use up con-

it takes only a moment to adjust the
size of the bundles and in no two
grains should the bundles be the same

regulate the size of the bundles to

column Butt we
are spending the
summer ou a
farm. They are
nearly right.
We are living
on a ^country
place which we
consider the ideal
farm for the city
man. It is off the
main road—-in fact, even the side road
terminates at our gate. It is miles
from a railroad. Even the rural free
delivery does not reach us. It is a very
big farm, and there is a lake and a for-
est and a swuntp on it. But that is not
what makes it ideal for a city man—
and especially for us.
There are no horses, cows, chickens,
ducks, geese or other live stock on this
farm. There are no crops to bother
with. The prowling skunk and the mid-
night fox pass us by, for we have no
poultry to Interest such marauders. We
weed the strawberry patch, we hoe the
potatoes, we inspect the peas and
beans, and our day’s farm labor is
done; we retire to a well-earned repose
and are sung to sleep by the frogs and
the owls and the whippoorwills.
It would he a dandy place for a gang
of counterfeiters—or moonshiners. Do
we hear any offers?—Exchange.
