A resolution of the American
Mining Congress which is to meet
this fall in Spokane says:
Western mining development has
been greatly retarded by unfair and
dishonest promotion.
The "Pardee" law, making mis
representation of the conditions sur
rounding a mine In which stock is
offered for sale a misdemeanor, ap
proved by the Denver Convention,
has been enacted by various state
legislatures The so-called "Blue
>k\ " law of Kansas has been wide
ly heralded as a remedy for this
evil The investor in mining stock
is entitled to know that the money
so invested is economically spent in
intelligent development work. To
create conditions under which the
prudent but small mining investor
can be protected would be not only
intrinsically just, but would stimu
late investments in prospective min
is c enterprises, whicft under pre
sent conditions are unable to pro
cure means for development.

THE DRUCG 1ST
OUTWITTED A LION.
C'*v?r Tactics of a Plucky and lrg?nt>
ous African.
The tittle bushman of South Africa
to not only small In sUe. hut feeble Id
mind. Vet there Is on record an en
counter between a bushman and a lion
which show* the man as cool in danger
and fertile in resource.
This bush man. while a long way
from bis home, was met by a Hon. Tbe
animal, assured that be bad his victim
completely in bis |?wer, began to sport
and dally with hltn with a feline Jocos
ity which tbe poor little bnshman fail
ed to appreciate The Hon would ap
pear at a point in tbe road and leap
back again into tbe Jungle, to reap
pear a little farther on.
The bushmnn. however, did not lose
his presence of mind and presently bit
upon a device whereby be might outwit
his foet This plan was suggested by
the lion's own conduct.
Aware that tbe beast was ahead of
him. the bushman dodired to tbe right,
and. feeling pretty sure of the lion's
whereabouts, resorted to the course of
quietly watching bis movements.
When the lion discovered that the
man bad suddenly disappeared from
tbe path be was a good deal perplexed.
Re roared with mortification Then
be espied tbe bushman peeping at bim
over tbe grass
Tbe bushman at once changed his po
sition. wbl'e the lion stood Irresolute
to tbe path, following with his eye the
shifting black man. In another mo
ment tbe little man rustled the reeds,
vanished and showed himself at an
other point.
Tbe great brute was flrst confused
and then alarmed, tt evidently began
to dawn upon him that be bad mistak
en tbe position of matters and that he
waa tbe hunted party.
Tbe bosh tiia n. who clearly recogni*
ed tbe situation, did not pause to per
?nlt tbe lion to recover his startled
wit*. He began to steal gradually to
ward the foe, who now, in a complete
state of doubt and fear, turned tall
and decampyd. leaving tbe plucky and

GREAT HORN SPOONS.
TSa Ones That Are Mad* by Natives
of Southern Alaska.
Horns of the Kocky mountain sheep
tbe buffalo and tbe mountain goat ate
made Into dishes, ladles and spoons
Some of these are carved, while others
are both carved and Inlaid with shell
The decoration Is sometimes geometric,
but often a conventional representa
tion of animal forms. This Is especial*
ly true of the spoons of the Indiana on
tbe coast of northern British Oolum
bia and southern Alaska. A few of
these spoons are so large, so wonder
fully artistic and so well made from
the horn of the rare Rocky mountain
abeep that even a moderately good one
msy appropriately be called a "great
born spoon" These are of a rich,
golden yellow color By far the greater
number of born apoons In this same re
gion are made of the born of the moan
tain goat, and these are black. A few
have black handles of goat horn and
golden bowls of sheep horn. All these
bandies are usually carved to repre
aeot traditional or mythical men. ani
mala or monsters belonging to the lore
of tbe individual family. Jit?t as among
our people silver spoons bear the fam

Probably yon have noticed that the
openings In tbe belfry of a church are
?anally Oiled with a nnmber of slant
tng boards, sometimes covered with
lead. These are improperly calle<1
louvres, and many persons Imagine
that tbey are so arrioged as to keep
out tbe rain. The right name for these
?lata la abataons. a word that mentis to
throw don ?
Tbelr use Is not to keep out tbe rain
because tbe wet doos not hurt the Itetl*
