Raincoats at Ten Cents.
A man In Illinois has invented a
process to produce and market a raincoat
that can be retailed from 10
cents up. These coats are made In
the regulation slip-on style, from an
Integral piece of waterproof paper.
Their production cost will be no higher
than 5 cents each, and even that
-figure can be lessened. The coat can
be folded up to fit in an ordinary onvelope
and is particularly adapted to
being carried In handbags. The coats
^^^^kcan be made^ofr^olled^ pat^er^or parafgives
the appeafance of sllkiness at a
Wm short distance. The original idea was
for the coats to be worn only once,
^ but, after a trial, It was demonstrated
that they could be utilized successfully
two or three times. The coats are
reinforced where the buttons are
sewed on and also where the button
boles are cut. There are only two
seams, both running underneath the
arms and down the sides. These
seams are cemented by ordinary glue.
Oldest Man in London.
The oldest man in London "sound
as a pippin," is Captain David Jackson,.
who recently celebrated his one
hundred and fifth birthday by giving
a lunchean to sixteen fellow inmates
of the Tooting home, the youngest
of whom was past seventy. He is an
old-fashioned Bailor, and boasts that
he sailed round the Horn forty times,
that he was never on a steamship but
once, and that once as a passenger.
"Give me," says the centenarian, "a
sailing ship with wood under my feet.
Then I feel I'm on a ship and not on
a tin kettle."
Some Elevator.
One of the elevators in the Hearts
building carried a woman of ample
size past the floor she had called. The
obliging elevator man perceived his
r mistake, quietly reversed his machine
' and landed the passenger at the right
floor. "Well, now, whot do you know
, about that!" exclaimed the woman as
she trundled her way out of the car.

Friends of Workers.
The Countess Markievicz, who lives
In Dublin, is the descendant of a sedate
old Irish family, but all of this
generation seems to be anything else
than sedate. She is interested in all
the cults and isms of the day, and her
sl6ter announces herself as the champion
of "revolting barmaids." That, of
course, would be the kind of a champion
who would be out of a job in this
country, where there are no barmaids,
but no doubt she would find other
rcvolters if she were to settle in the
United States.

Tells by Their Walk.
St Louis.?Polloeuiuu Trail of East
St Louis arrested a man who admitted
that lie was a deserter from the
United States army a few minutes ufter
the man hud left the East St. I.ouls
police station, where he had slept duriug
the night.
He gave his name as Edward C.
Brooks, thirty-three years old. and said
j he deserted the One Hundred and
T Third coast artillery! stationed at Eort
' Howard. Me.. Sept. 11. 1912. because
j he did not like the treatment accorded
to un old soldier.
Brooks is the fifth deserter arrested
i by Policeman Trail in the last three
months. He has arrested six deserters
! in the last year. Trail asserts he can
! tell a soldier by his walk and physical

A Slap at Mother.
Dinner was done, and the family was
' assembled in the sitting rootu. Mother
had taken up the evening paper and
was reading an account of how a highwayman
tiad been operating in the
suburbs, l-'atlier was on ttie floor playing
with Willie.
"Pupil." finally remarked the good
' lady, glauciug toward her husband.
I "here Is m story about another man
! who was waylaid. I>o these holdups
always stop you with a pistol aud then
' go through your clot lies V"
"Oh. no." grfnfully replied father,
arising from the floor. "Sometimes
j they wait until you hang your clothes
I over the back of a ebulr and go to
I sleep."
Lord Kelvin and the Cable.
The success of the Atlantic cable
was due to the calculations and experiments
o' the late Lord Kelvin, at
that time plain William Thomson. He
discovered that the current through a
long cable would arrive gradually at
the receiving end and devised the apparatus
which rendered it possible to
utilize such a current for making the
Morse signals. It was through disre|
gard of his theoretical predictions that
j the first Atlantic en We. m ini?. was
| ruined by t??c? powerful currents. Withi
out his mirror galvanometer to translate
into visible signals the delicate
impulses received through the cable
the enterprise would have been a comi
plete failure.

i: HOW HE SOLD THE MINE |
o By LEWIS AUBURY.
wWWWWWWWw
He was a large, raw-boned, good-natured
kind of a fellow, with a shock
of red hair that
f reached nearly to
his shoulders. His
general make-up
proclaimed him tc
be the desert prospector.
He came to the
months ago. Upon
arriving he put up
. at a well-known
downtown hotel
and as he handed
a sack of specimens
and his grip
over to the clerk
he remarked:
Btay * couple 0
Wr days, an' I ain'l
W pertlcler when
you make mj
bunk down, only Td kinder like tei
be on the fust floor, case o* fire, yei
know."
Having been assured, he remarked
to the clerk that he thought he would
stroll around a bit
He had scarcely reached the cross
Ing before he was accosted by a mar
who had been seated in the hotel lob
by and who had been an interested
listener to his conversation with th?
clerk.
"Excuse me," he said, "hut I have
just learned of your arrival In the
city, and knowing of your interest in
mining affairs, through hearsay, 1
have taken the liberty of speaking tc
you regarding ycnrr 'propositions.'"
The bait was ample for our desert
friend, and be forthwith began to de
claim on the merits of bis prospects.
"Well, yer see, my friend, me an'
the boys hev some claims out by Canyon
Springs, an' as our powder an1
grub is a-gittin' putty low, an' as al!
o' them thought as I was the bestposted
one In the bsnch, an' they all
knew I was too smart to be taken in
by any of them sure-thing fellers, why,
they jest concluded to get together
what capitul there was In the cami
and giv It ter me, an* I was tole tc
vamcme np here and git some more
to help out durin* the winter, or mebbe
sell a claim or two. So here I be, an1
if I kin find the capitulist, well, say,
he's my huckleberry."
"What's say? What hev we got
Ha! Ha! Excuse me for laffln', stranger;
I feel so tickled. Yer see, I never
thought as how it would be so easy,
and here I am, gone and got some one
interested the very fust rattle outer
the box. Well, there's the Golconder,

"Oh, yes, we her plenty o' woodslathers
of It?an' water, too. Yer be
looking fer mines and what'll I take?
Oh, 'bout $400,000 fer the bunch, but
If yer on'y *ant one er two, I'll come

"Oh, money'B no object, and the bigger
the better? Well, I jest know these

such a valerble property. Yes, I give
yer a bond on it right erway, an' say,
you jest telygraft them there fellers
and hev them send the money over tomorrer!"
After he had signed a number of
mysterious documents that had been
presented to him by his new-found
friend, and had partaken of numerous
and divers lemonades (?) he managed
to find his way back to the hotel,
and as he edged up to the counter, he
exclaimed to the clerk:

I let him hcv ten dollars to send a

He's a-goin' ter pay me back when
the bank opens ter-morrer. Shay, ole

the cage and git up to my bunk. Say,
1 jest tell the ingineer what level I'm
ter git off at, will yer, an' say, sen'

And with a parting wave of the
hand to the clerk, he managed to
reach the elevator and was whisked
to the "levels" above.

Legend or Aconite.
Aconite Is classed by homeopathic
authorities as the patriarch of drugs,
as far as literature is concerned. It
is told how Hercules went down to
the lower regions and carried the
three-headed hound Cerberus to the
upper world. That ferocious beast was
raging at this treatment, and the froth
that fell to the ground was the origin
of aconite, for it grew up from the
froth as from seeds. It was on a
bleak, windswept hill or mountain, and
it is in such regions that the plant
grows today. This hill, in Pontica, was
known in olden days as 'Aconitos."
Small Causes of Wars.
The borrowing of a tobacco pipe and
its retention caused civil war in the
Pamirs and Afghanistan, while the
stealing of a lace petticoat belonging
to a lady of Castile by a Moor led to
a long and bloody conflict. The war
between Sweden and Poland, Which
began in 1654, arose through a supposed
slight. The king of Sweden suddenly
discovered that in a certain diepatch
his name and titles were followed
by only two et ceteras, while the
king of Poland was given three. The
result, incredible as it may seem, was
war.
