George, Santa Fa yardmas- ter, has taken a layoff of three weeks and gone to Nevada to davelop a gold mining claim which Tie has there.: There la quite a story back of his going. Mr. George grub staked an old miner who had struck a streak of bad luck. This miner finally found some excellent surface indications In the Nevada Mountains and staked his claim. Tho prospects were so good that Mr. George, his brother and his brother-in-law took three adjoining claims. The old grizzled miner worked away all winter on the j-funds supplied him by Mr. George. His developments were encouraging, but did not pan but large quantities of the yellow metal. A short time since another old miner, in hard luck, came past this first nflncr's claim, carrying his kit of tools with him. Mr. George's friend was naturally lonesome and invited the stranger to take a claim, and after looking over the situation this stranger decided to do so. An evening or two later the two miners sat on a ledge of rock talking when a badger came Into sight. The miners gave chase, and the badger ran into a hole on the stranger's claim. They went to work with their picks and soon dug the budger out, and in doing so they made a remark able discovery. His bed, in the bot tom of the hole, was made on a big chunk of the very richest of gold ore. The gold in the stone on which ho lay was worth $10,000. In this way they discovered a rich vein of gold bearing quartz which runs through both their mines as well as those belonging to Mr. George, his brother and his brother-in-law. Mr. George's ' trip-to Nevada is for the purpose of fully investigating his new gold mine.- Wellington Mail. THE Home AT A SAVING.

Camion. Compliments for the speaker are always in order in tho closing days of a session of congress, but there is nothing perfunctory about the tributes paid to the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon. There has been no presiding of ficer better liked- in our time, and Mr. Cannon is admitted and esteem ed in spite of the fact that, his policy has raised up a large body of insurg ents in his own party, and in spite oj periodical denunciation as an iron-handed despot by an unterrifled but helpless minority. How can the language of amiable hyperbole used by Representative Townsend in speaking of Mr. Can non in the house be accounted for? Is the speaker "devotedly loved by every member?" Is he, to quote Mr. , Townsend, "younger than the youngest and stronger '; than the strongest, 'the nolest Roman of us all?"' : A well preserved and remarkable man is "Uncle Joe," but a partisan withal,, and a good hater as well as a staunch friend. He would bo the last man in congress to wear a halo, and ho has no illusions about his greatness. The secret of his popu larity in the house is composite. He is always "one of the boys," his heart being on the floor with them, al though he sits in the exalted crfair of speaker and rules them grimly for their own ; and the country's good; they know him as a thorough ly trained and sapient legislator who never loses his head; his human na ture is all-embracing and equal to every emergency; he is so good an American that he might pass for Uncle Sam himself. Other speakers have been looked up to and even feared, and many have enjoyed the esteem of their as sociates; but Mr. Cannon has won and retained their personal affection while commanding their respect un der the most trying circumstances.

Has it ever occurred to any one to try to calculate how much money is dropped WTwidge by society ladies in a year? It is not by any means an exaggera ted estimate to put the number of per sons who are in society today at 20,000, and out of this number it is a still more -modest computation to reckon that there are 12,000 ladies playing bridge every night in the year. Allow ing for deductions on the score of occa sional good luck, we may safely put down t pounds a night as the average loss of each of these ladies. That gives us almost nine million pounds lost at bridge by women in the course of a year. It can be very plausibly objected that if most lose, still some must win, and win enormously; but money won in this way seems to do no one any good. It does not pay the drcssmakcrs's bills or the servants' wages, or help the hus band to make a remission of rent to his tenants in a bad year. Just as the bookmaker feels obliged to spend a large part of his earnings on the most expensive cigars and champagne, and the man who lives by "coups" on the stock exchange is far 'more extrava gant than he, would be if be earned a steady income, so the winnings of the bridge table lead to further embar rassment rather than to extrication from financial difficulties. There is one expense which weighs less heavily the higher one's rank in society may be. The young man about town the younger son who has a con stant struggle to keep up appearances in the circles wnere ne Is regarded su perciliously, if not suspisciously finds the necessity of "tipping" a terrible drain on his purse.

JACKSON, Assistant Cashier Social Diversions in England Hard Lot of the Younger Sons. Nothing ever happens nowadays, says the London Tribune, except in the police and divorce courts. Tho aris tocracy have lost all interest in poli tics; they are not very keen even on sport. They live nowhere, for they are always in their motors, and a chron icle of their movements would be as complicated and as uninteresting as Bradshaw. , Worst of ill, they have been reduced to insignificance they cannot strike out in 'any original line for themselves because they are so terribly poor. ' Of course the first and largest cause of this poverty Is notorious "agricul tural depression." Many a nobleman who can travel perhaps for a hundred miles without leaving his own estates is scarcely ao rich as a successful man ufacturer, and nothing like so rich as the South African magnates Jn Park Lane. On the top of this depression comes the stress of competition with the new aristocracy of wealth,: who assert their right to "dominate society ! Denmark is Stingiest of All to Her Legislators. The Norwegian member of Parlia ment gets only .thirteen- shillings a day, and if the hard worked legislator takes a day off he loses his pay. The same is the case with members of the Swiss Diet. They are rewarded with sixteen shillings a day, on condition that they do not -absent themselves from work. To go fourther east we fin that Rou- mnnla ''-thinks her lawmakers worth one pound a clay. Sixteen shillings a day is the salary of those who com pose the Lulgariun Sobranje, but mem bers who live in the capital get only twelve shillings daily. Denmark is about the stingiest: ' of all European countries, so far as remu nerating her lawmakers' is -concerned. Danish members of Parliament get but six shillings eight pence, a day: hut on the other hand they have the odd privilege of a frpe seat in the Royal Theatre at Copenhagen. While the members of the Gorman Reichstag are not salaried, yet the lawmakers of tho various German states do not work for nothing. Saxe Coburg members of Parliament are paid thirteen shillings, of Bavaria ten, and of Hesse nine. At first sight Hungary seems to do her lawmaking on the cheap plan. Rut they are not so badly off after all, for a liberal allowance is made Into the bargain for house rent. Austria-Hun gary's two legislative assemblies cost the country about 160,000 pounds a year in all. Both in Austria and Hun gary legislators can travel first class with second class tickets. Besides the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain are the only countries which pay nothing to their members of par liament. Nevertheless, the cost of the Italian Parliament is estimated at 85,000 pounds a year. In Portugal also the State does not remunerate legislators, but they re ceive free railway passes, and their constituencies are, legally permitted to pay those who represent them a sum of about fifteen shillngs for-each day of the session. London Answers. France is now playing the role of the world's banker;. England lost her claim to the title w'hen she went to war In South Africa. A generation ago one had to go to London to feel the pulse of the international money market. Today one makes a better diagnosis in Paris. The strides toward financial suprem acy which France is making have been most rapid in the past five years. In that time French investors have taken up many milliard francs of foreign ob ligations. They furnished Great Brit ain with much of the capital that went to finance the Boer war; they loaned enormous amounts to Russia, practi cally supplying the money needed in the struggle against Japan; they pro vided Germany with 1,000,000,000 marks In 1904-'0o to carry on her tremendous Industrial enterprises; they took a lib eral amount of the last Japanese loan, more than half of the Russian loan of last April, and, finally, they supplied borrowers in the United States with fully $150,000,000 during the tight money period of last winter and are now financing the bond and note issues of some of our greatest corporations. Although the annual gold production of the world is nearly $400,000,000, there is such tremendous trade activity In every quarter of the universe that cap ital is in demand as never before. One thinks of the usually well .supplied money markets as today cleaned up bare, In a condition of drought; but then there is a great reservoir of free capital in France which is being tapped by the other thirsty nations, and which. In spite of the drain on it, keeps well filled and shows no sign of ex haustion. The Bank of France, the largest hoarder of gold next to the United States Treasury, has in its vaults today nearly $(i00,000,000 of the precious metal; two years ago it had $lfi."J)00,000, and in 1900, when Paris began slowly to forge ahead of Lon don as the center of the largest money supply, the institution held only $375, 000.000. How has France, a nation industri ally inferior to Germany and with a commerce very much below that of Great Britain, gained such a power in world finance? The answer is, through her domestic economy. For frugality, thrift. Intense application to the work in hand, and the very commendable ambition to carve from life's labors enough to make bright the Inevitable rainy day and to cheer old age the Frenchman has no peer. To save is an inherited desire. The poorest peas ant in the least productive parish of the republic manages to put aside a little each year for a competency, and the fishermen down on the Brittany coast would have starved a few win ters ago, when the catch was almost nothing, had they not been able to draw from the savings of more fruit ful years. Tens of thousands of small shopkeepers, innkeepers, scantily paid government employes are investors, and their combined savings have pro vided the funds to finance.-many a nar tion and carry It through a lean period. The population of France is about 40,000,0.00 people; the wealth of France Is nearly $45,000,000,000. This wealth Is evenly distributed. The number of estates administered in 1904 was 394,- 7.S7. and of those one-half were for values ranging from less than $10,000 to a little under $100,000. Only three were over $10,000,00u.

And recommend j IAND2LB.AmTICHT WHOLE OR CROUNO, 1 i In' ' m Ik to air lovers of good Coffee - II would brighten up tho red man's 'reputation if a few moro frivolous pale faces could take an occasional meal with a group of Navajo Indians on their native Arizona heath, as did Julian A. Dimock, a writer for Rec reation. "When tho dinner hour found us far from tho store," says he, "we of ten went to some nearby hogan, and joining the circle around the sage brush fire invited ourselves to dine with the family. Usually the dinner was of mutton, broiled over the coals on a gridiron improvised from pieces of heavy wire; ears of green corn roasted before the fire and a kind of ash cake made from corn ground with stones into a coarse meal, mix ed with waterand salt, wrapped in green husks and cooked in the ashes. "Often the Indians were like a group of children; jokes passed "back and forth and every one laughed be tween mouthfuls. Some merriment over a remark that seemed to have concerned me led me to ask for a translation, which was: 'The woman says that that one of the dogs has been carrying that stick you are us ing as a fork around in his mouth.' There was a single knife, and a fam ily spoon did Etirring duty in many cups, but the forks, being fingers, were individual. "An Indian seated opposite me, with grave expression and dignified demeanor .seemed like a character from one of Cooper's tales. I look ed for the passing of a pipe of peace and an Indian oration, but when this noble red man lifted nls hand it was to reach forward and tickle with a feather one of the children. ; He then quickly resumed his former at titude and assumed an expression of outraged innocence when accused by the tickled child." CARELESS EUROPEAN OPINION There has been some dispute, more or less fervid, as to whether Bishop Potter was right or wrong In assort ing that Englishmen do not really like Americans, and some of our own cor respondents have evinced considerable heat because, they say, our English visitor" Jo not appreciate and admire things American as they ought to do. All this perturbation and anxiety con cerning what Englishmen or Germans or Frenchmen or any other foreigners may chance to say or think about us Is out of date. As year follows year It will become to us a matter of more and more profound indifference wheth er Englishmen or other Europeans view us with Jealousy, misconception or affection, we are full grown.
