Very Devout.
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.
So my sun Peter stands at the door
half an h>'ir before service begins to
Veen 'iin out."—Liverpool Mercury.

UNDER AN UMBRELLA.
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. On further examina
tion his purse and watch were found
to be gone. Tho man with the um
brella was a pickpocket.—London Tit-

The famous Antigua Mines of Palmillas, Sinaloa. flrst opened in 180G by the great Spanish mine operator. 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.

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.

Tonic or Stimulant?
There is an immense difference between a tonic and a
stimulant. Up one day, way back the next; that's a
stimulant. Steady progress day by day toward perfect

TOWN PASTORS
FALL IN LINE
The local ministers are much intere
sted in the movement to make nest
Sunday, April 24th, "Tuberculosis
j Sunday," a day on which in all the
churches the subject of tuberculosis,
the extent of its ravages and the means
| available for combatting it, in some
! form are to be brought before the con
i gregations.
| The subject was discussed by the
! ministerium Monday, but no definite
| action was taken. 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

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.

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.

ventlon. They are devoid of lenses
and consist simply of two short tubes

tightly against the face. The air eu-
terlng at the open otter ends forces a
0 : compressed air cushion against the
eyes, which neither cold nor wind
seems to penetrate. The eyes are kept
