The Constitution of the I'nited -itntes guarantees to nil nM 'I equal eeurity in life and property, and nder our system of law if a man nils a body of mineral or a deposit i oil and complies with the laws of he State in acnuirlng possession it awfully becomes his property, re .ardless of what may have been tho atention of the divine law of the 'Veator.

It becomes In a way an qsurance to the people against the ltimate destruction of this source f natural and national wealth, 'hlch by every reason oT moral quity rightfully belongs to all the oople. In time the mineral wealth 1 the country will lie entirely ex ' an ted for the minerals of the earth innot be replenished like our for sts and the renewal of fertility of or fields. Hence it becomes the uty of Congress to lioth conserve ur mineral wealth and the Individ ual wealth of our citizens, for when ls value is once destroyed the niggle for existence on the part of .e wage-earner will bo still more erce than It is to-day, and the con rvation of our national reaonroes l the interest of our whole people a duty so plain that all caa nn crstand It.

It may safoly be said that there Is not. u town or tIMago so remote In t!n t'nlted States as to escape the wiles of the mining-stock promoter. Tills is due both to the Ignorance of the Investors and the utter laxity of our laws. The education of the In vestor is a matter of time and most costly to him. Ilr.t that there ran and should be remedial legislation for the protection of tlie Innocent in ventor as against misrepresentation and dishonest management, I think we are all agreed. I believe that the Creator placed the mineral wealth In the bowels of the earth for the benefit of all tlio people and not for the exclusive ben efit of a few. There are three natural sources of productive wealth from which all the wealth of the nation has came and must continue to come, via: Mineral and oil deposit. Foresti. Farm products. One of these groat financial Inter ests of the country have formed mighty corporations for the purpose of controlling the output of the for ests and mines and then regulating prices to suit their needs. LOW Tit AITS OF THE LIOX. Frequcnlly Lives fur Pays on Surh 1'lebian Food as Hats. The "king of blasts," declares a writer upon the lions of Africa, Is an uninltlputed nuisance. Tho stock owner loathes Mm for the havoc he causes avoug the uerda. Yhera is no security against him. He is always travelling. A pair of Hons may And a spot where garao Is easily obtain able, and mako a considerable stay there, but their real home is the whole veld. If the Hon slew only as much as ho couli eat, he would be less hateful; but ho will often kill four or five oxen and content himself with devouring only tho ontrala of one. He la a low, cralty brute, one that takes no risks, for, unlike the leop ard, he will never leap a wall unless he can see what is on the other side. A paper fence would keep hlin away from a herd of cattle provided they did not break out through terror of his growling and his smell. The lion's roar is the subject of another fiction; not that hs is not capable of making the most terrible, awe-inspiring sound emitted by any living thing, but because when he is roar ing he Is harmless. It is the Hon which keeps quiet that Is to be fear ed, for as a rule, the male and fe male work In couples, and the one that makes the noise la merely driv ing the game down the wind to the silent partner. In a single respect only on the score of strength does the Hon de serve sis name of "king of beasts." He can drag a largo bullock over rough ground with the greatest ease; he can carry a mule on hi back after holstus It there by some strange sideways Jerk of his head; he can leap a five-foot fence with a full-sized donkey gripped In his mouth. Otherwise, sneaking fr - aeven years' experience In the lion country, I have no hesitation In de- riomg me King of beasts as a '".ml at. lea8t BO far as W8 nobility la concerned.

NEW TIHXGS IX NATURE. Found by a Collector In the Desert and Mountains of Arizona. Lob Angcsles, Cal. Remarkable discoveries of new species of Insects, reptiles and bivalves have been made by Virgil W. Owen, clerk of the United States District Court here, in the desert and mountains of Cochise County, Ariz. He re turned with a collection of 7,000 specimens. Borne of his -moths and butterflies are valued at $50 a pair. Many of his sicclmenB are unknown to etomologlsts and are destined for the Smithsonian Institution. One of the snakes secured Is new to scientists, only one specimen hav ing ever before been found and that minus head aad tall. Owen's snake is about seven inches long, has gray ground marked with Vandlke brown spots and is valued at $1,000. In mountain streams 6,000 feet above the sea Itvel the collector found small but perfect abalone. Another discovery in the same pool was a number of mature class. They have been found as fossils In the rocks of the Middle West. Owen also brought aeven tortoises one of which is a new specimen, and three rare bora toads. OABTOniA. Astntt yThs Kind Yuu llavt Always BowM Jgaatvt A Life Huntf on a Thread. Origlnal.1 A good mnny years ago, when Indian fighting was the chief occupation of our then diminutive army, I was serv ing in the th cavalry at a western post. We had a man in the ranks who had been brought tip by refined and Wealthy parents, but who was a per fect devil. Egbert Carrol wna the name he enlisted under, and I believe It was his real name. Tho only trou ble with him was that be was too full of fight. One would supposo that a soldier can't have too much fight In him, and so ho can't when there la an enemy to contend with, but whn there Isn't he is liable to turn upon his friends. Cnrrol wns In Captain Cava nagh'a Company, a man full of Irish blood, and that means full of Irish fight We called him the "black god of war." The result was that when Carrol committed some slight indiscre tion bis captain, to speak figuratively, "put the screws on." This made Car rol rebellions, with tho result of more discipline, till at last be mutinied and etruck his cnptaln. lie was put In the guardhouse to await trial, but one dark night be escaped and disappeared. It was not long after this that we bad a brush with the Indiana. We were getting the better of them when one of their number led tbem on a savage charge which for a time broke through our lines. I never saw such savage Indian fighting under so sav age a leader. It was only a question of time with them, however, for we outnumbered them and were better armed and equipped. We took a lot of prisoners, among them their leader. Who should ho be bat Egbert Carroll Of course there was but one fate for him. A court martial was convene; he was tried and sentenced to be shot The proceedings were forwarded to Washington, where they were approved by the president. The day having been fixed, there was nothing to do bnt wait for It to come round and carry out tbe sentence. But there was some sympa thy for the condemned man. First, the commandant of the post believed there was not only stuff in him for a soldier, but a leader, which had been turned away by his captain, who bad never learned to control himself, to say noth ing of controlling others. Then the women of the post all took to him be cause be was a gentleman born. The men of his company partially excused him because many of them had suf fered as he had from their captain's ungovernable temper. Lastly and moat Important, his family Interested them selves to aecure a pardon. One day the colonel commanding a post some 200 miles eastward of the one where Carrol was held a prisoner received an order reprieving the rene gade. Selecting a good rider, the colo nel gave him the president's order and told him to ride with It posthaste. But in the army there are many officers who would acorn to communicate the contents of an order to a private. The colonel was one of these. He sent his messenger away without any knowl edge that a life hung on its prompt da livery. Two daya after the messenger departed he returned to the man who sent him, confessing that he had stop ped by the way to drink with some soldiers and had lost the order. Be had returned for a duplicate. The colonel blanched. "You scoun drel!" he roared. "You carried Car rol's reprieve. No power can repair the damage you hare done. Before an other message can be sent he will have been executed." Now, It happened that I had been sent with a party to relieve the garri son of the station where the messenger had stopped, and It was with some of our men that the messenger drank and lost his order. He did not miss It till he had left the station and ridden some distance. Then he returned, hunted high and low for It and, not finding It, returned for Its duplicate. The day after the loss of the order I went to Inspect a gang of men who wero doing some work I was In charge of. While walking along the road I saw a dog chasing a bit of white pa per which the breeze whirled before him. As the paper was blown post me I picked It up, held It over the dog and let it go again in the wind. The dog caught It and brought It to me for more play. It was then that I saw the word "Washington" printed on It I read It and knew that it was Carrol's reprieve. Within ten minutes I was mounted on the best horse at the station and riding to save a life. So much time had been lost In Its transmission that I knew it was an even chance whether I arrived In time or not I rode my horse to a finish In a few hours, secur ed another, exhausted hun in about the same time and repeated the process as often as I could find horses. I knew the day that Carrol was to be executed, but not the hour. It Is singular that a soldier will drive the men under him up to be shot down un mercifully, but when under other cir cumstances one life Is dependent on bis efforts he will labor under a fright ful burden. At last I came In sight of the flag waving over the tops of some trees sev eral miles In advance of me. Then ev ery minute I dreaded lest I hear a vol ley. My borso was exhausted, and I feared every moment be would drop under me. lie did so when within a quarter of a mile of the post. I ran on, waving the order above my head. A sentry saw it guessed what It was and must have called out to those be low, for I beard a cheer. Then I knew I was In time. Carrol was killed during the civil war, having gained the reputation of being one of the daredevils pf the Un ion army. F. TOWNSEND SMITH. "LET THE PEOPLE RULE' APIUUL TO DEMOCRATS for Bryan and Kern Campaign Fund, from the Domocratlc National Committee. To Geo. K. Khvell, lulitor of the Columbian. There are no secrets in this Cam paign. Strictly practicing what he preaches, Mr. Bryan will not win victory with tainted money paying the election expenses. Not a dollar is to be accepted which requires any promise, either express or implied, other than for HONEST, IMPARTIAL GOV ERNMENT. Mr. Bryan will enter the White House absolutely free from entang ling alliances, free to serve all class es of honest citizens alike, or he will not entr at all. Hence the course is plain. The campaign of Bryan and Kern must be conducted by the people. The people must pay the necessa ry campaign expenses if they want public servants who will serve their interests. Special interests and favored class es, having secured "SWOLLEN FORTUNES" by purchasing fa vors in the past with MILLIONS CONTRIBUTED TO CONTROL ELECTIONS, stand ready to give MILLIONS MORE EOR CON TINUED FAVORS. But that class never gives a dollar unless it buys a pledge. Mr. Bryan says, from March 4th, 1909, "LET THE PEOPLE RULE." This can come only if the people pay their own bills, and control their own elections. "BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS BEARING GIFTS. " That policy of the favored few buying a mortgage on the Govern ment meant that the Candidate for President knew a few people only in an entire State. Bryan says, "We will take the cause of PEOPLE'S RULE home to the people and will know people in every county." You can serve the grand cause of popular government. Your paper reaches the fireside of the patriot who loves his country for his country's GOOD; as distin guished from the greedy possessor of swollen fortunes who loves his country only for his country's GOODS. Asking every one who favors Government by the people to pay you, at once, as many dollars as he can spare to aid the Campaign for BRYAN, KERN AND PEOPLE'S RULE. You forward these gifts of honest hearts and home every two weeks to the Treasurer of the Democratic National Commiitee, with the name of each contributor and amounts given. The Treasurer will forward you a certificate for each one, asking you to deliver these certificates.
