A new parson was presented to a living in a remote agricultural dis trict and was anxious to make him self at home with his flock ns soon as possible. lie therefore began his pas toral calls at once. Among the first recipients of these attentions was Farmer Jones, whose family the new parson had noticed to be very regular and apparently very devout attend ants at church. Farmer Jones was out, but his wife received the parson, when the following dialogue took place: "I am your new rector, Mrs. Jones, I have noticed with great pleas ure your regular attendance at church and have lost as little time as possi ble, you see, in calling and improving our acquaintance." "Yes, sir," replied Mrs. Jones, "we're 'bilged to bo reg'lar at church, for if we didn't go Farmer Smith claims that pew, and we're not goin' to give it up for the likes o' him.

An Expensive Adventure of a Famous Parisian Wit. Komieu, the famous Parisian wit, was one day caught iu a shower nnd forced to seek refuge in a doorway of the opera house. It was 0 o'clock al ready, and lie had an engagement iu the Cafe de Paris for that very hour, l'he rain fell iu torrents. There was no carriage to be had. lie had no um brella. What was to be done? While he was lamenting his bad luck a gen tleman with a large umbrella passed by. Uomieu was seized with a sudden inspiration. lie rushed out and grnsp ed the stranger by the arm and grave ly installed himself under the protect ing umbrella. "I am overjoyed to see you," he im mediately began. "I have been look ing for you for two weeks. I wanted to tell you about Clementine." Without giving the stranger time to express his surprise Komieu rattled away with gossip and anecdote until he had led the unknown companion to the door of the Cafe de Paris. Theu he glanced at him with a face of well feigned astonishment. "Pardon, monsieur!" he cried. "It seems I am mistaken." "I believe so," said the stranger. "Good gracious!" added Komieu. "Be discreet. Don't repeat what I have told you." "I promise you." "A thousand pardons!" Komieu hastened within tbe cafe nnd amid great laughter told the ad venture to his friends. Suddenly one of them said: "Your cravat is rumpled." Komieu put his hand to his neck and turned pale. Ills pin, a valuable sap phire, was gone.

Miguel Felix, and now the property of the Mexican Mining Association. Association Stock is now selling at the low price of 5 cents per share in order to provide a working equipment for these mines and to replace the milling and smelting plant destroyed during the revolution. We cannot maintain this low figure. The PALMILLAS mines of the Mexican Mining Association are in the same district as the world-famous Bonanza, Guadalups do los Reyes, with over 100 years of continuous production, now working 1,000 men and credited with a production of $100,000,000. In buying Mexican Mining Association at 5 cents you stand the chance of similar immense profits The ASSOCIATION now owns seven (7) large mines in Sinaloa, Mexico, upon which more than $30,000 worth of work lias been done, as follows: PALMILLAS CONSOLIDATED, consisting of three (3) mines—COLON, BALTAZARENA, and PALOS DULCES, shippers of High Grade, and containing a large tonnage of milling silver ores. ESPANOLA and MAGISTRAL two (2) large copper-silver mines, the former well developed, and the two forming a magnif cent smelting proposition. ROSARIO and TAHONITAS, the former a very large low grade gold mine, the latter a rich silver lead mine, near enough together to be worked under one management. We believe that these SEVEN mines will be the basis for the greatest mining enterprise on the Western Coast of America. Besides our operating department in Mexico, we maintain a selling organization in the great mine buying centers of the world, London, Brussels and New York City. Mexico has produced to date over forty-five hundred millions of dollars in silver alone, besides hundreds of millions in gold, and is to be the great gold and copper producing region of the future. The West Coast region, though barely touched as yet, has produced, according to our engineers' estimates, over nine hundred millions. Do you not want your share of this immense wealth ? If so, the MEXICAN MIN ING ASSOCIATION is your great chance. INTERNATIONAL SECURITIES CO. FINANCIAL AGENTS 546 DOUGLAS BUILDING LOS ANGELES, CAL. Notice.

Name —_ Street Address City State * TWO BURGLARIES MONDAY NIGHT l Burglars were abroad iu this city Monday night, two places being enter j ed. Tliey secured no booty, being | frightened away apparently at the very moment when they might have gained access to valuables. One of the places entered was the warehouse of the Welliver Hardware company, which was visited by bur j glars last fall, when the safe was blown open. On Monday night the burglars did j not succeed in getting into the office. They entered the warehouse through the rear window, which they broke open. They made their way to the ! eastern end of the big wareroom where ! the offices are located. It would have been an easy matter to have broken (open one of the doors communicating | with the office, which fact suggests that the robbers were 112 rightened away. The burglars made an unsuccessful | attempt to force the front door open, j the marks of the jimmy could be plain | ly seen yesterday morning. I The office of Schott's coal yard was : also broken into. Every drawer and " | corner was ransacked,but the burglars I found nothing that they seemed to | covet. People residing in the vciuitv.about ! one o'clock yesterday morning heard a noise, which, it is believed, was | caused by the burglars, when they broke into Mr. Schott's office. The officers are inclined to believe that the burglaries were committed by hoboes, who seem to have taken the town by storm. There is hardly a day but several aro run out of the borough by the police, but for every one that leaves several others seem to appear. It is really a serious problem. They keep out of sight of the police as far as practicable. They are most insolent and persistent beggars and it is frequently all a townsman can do to get out of their clutches,when once . they lay siege to hini. The Westmoreland hospital, Greens burg, in a recent investigation by the J directors, was absolved by a witness from all blame iu connection with the death of Deputy Sheriff Alton Eld, who was shot in mistake by another deprt.v sheriff and who was found to have died from a sponge that had been sewed iu his body. Dr. \V. E. Taylor, of Irwin,exonerated the hospital doct ors and said that he had sewed the sponge in the man, whom he sent to the hospital as a representative of the owners of Etna No. 1 mine. lie did it I to control hemorrhages, but had no intention of allowing it to remain there permanently. While waiting for the hemorrhages to ceaso the man died. The sheriff had made the charge , against the hospital. The board lias , not rendered a decision yet but the case may be carried to the governor. STATED MEETING OF PRESBYTERY Continued from Ist Page. The Rev.

Many years ago, sailing from Con stantinople to Marseilles, we passei close under the lee of Stromboli, of the north coast of Sicily. The irrecoti cilable old volcano was not In actlv eruption, but from the crater a reddis smoke was rising, while from the fis 1 sures in its sides burst now aud agai j tongues of lurid flame. "Ah," observe ! a sailor—the vessel was an Englls j one—"old Booty Is at it again!" S far as I can remember there is legend that one Captain Booty, a mas ter mariner trading to the Meditei rauean in the seventeenth century, b< ratne so notorious for drinking an swearing that be was seized upon b the fiend and carried off to the interio of Stromboli, from which he has cor tlnued ever since to utter profane lar guage by means of tongues of fire an puffs of smoke.

Following the meet i ing, however, the atteution of several clergymen was called to the news item appearing yesterday to the effect that President Taft lias approved of mak ! ing next Sunday "Tuberculosis Sun day" and each declared his willing ness to fall in with the movement and do what ho could on such short notice to bring the important subject before j his congregation. None were quite sure just what form his effort would take. A fact they all deplored was that they had not been acquainted with the proposition ataneailier date ! to the end that they might have learn !ed just what is expected of them, or ! how they might shape their efforts to ; accomplish the most in saving human • life. The National Association for the Study ami Prevention of Tuberculosis has the movement in hand. One or more of our pastors seem to have received some literature on the subject, but the remainder know nothing of the move ment beyond what they have seen in the newspapers. So far, however, not 1 one of otir Danville clergymen has been interviewed but has promptly ex pressed himself as willing to observt i "Tuberculosis Sunday" and with sue!: means as are at his dispoasl to laboi to carry out the object of the day. TO TABULATE 300.0C0.000. I India's Civil Service to Undertake Gi gantic Census Task. , An Indian census—necessarily the biggest undertaking of its kind on ree ,, ord—is to be taken in March, 1911. Three hundred million people of vary ,; ing races and creeds will be enuroer h ated and the results tabulated, a task " which would cause the Washington 112 bureau of statistics to hesitate. • s But the Indian civil service has nl e ready proved itself equal to the task, e It holds the world's record not only - for the scale of census operations, but for the speed with which results are i issued. At the last census India's 1 300.000.000 had been counted between 7 a. m.and midnight on census day, and the results were published fifteen ; days later. ' 1 Glassless Goggles.
