AS IT IS IN REAL LIFE
True 6tory That Differ Materially
from "Plot" of the Average
Novel.
A favorite "plot" of wester story
Writers la the "neater" or homesteader,
who Is persecuted by neighboring
ranch "barons" until he relinquishes
his home and leaves the range to his
Assailants, or perchance stands his
ground and suffers a mysterious disap
pearance or Is hung from a cottonwood
tree. No doubt Instances of this kind
have occurred, but It is a safe assertion
that they were very few and far be
tween. One who has an acquaintance
among the large ranchmen of today
Will have a hard time time conceiving
of them engaged In driving homeless
families Into the desert.
1 One is more Inclined to credit the
Irtory told of a ranchman now living
who for many years had thrived as a
sheep raiser with an unmolested range.
After a year of plentiful rains, dry
(arming was proposed in his vicinity,
with the result that his usual range
(was reduced over half by homestead
ers' claims. For over two years the
fe.nob.man cursed his unwelcome neigh
bors with all the expressiveness of his
lurid vocabulary. The third season
brought a drought, bankrupting many
of the dry farmers. The ranchman as
sured those who held on that they too
were doomed to failure, but his words
were not heeded and a number of fam
ilies suffered actual privation. One day
It was learned that the ranchman had
bought out a general store in a near
by town and was crediting the dry
farmers on his books. His only com
ment was that "somebody had to keep
the damn nesters from starving." E.

LOST FOR
Musty Records Point Way to Fa

With Newly Discovered Directions
Shaft Where Millions of Dollars'
Worth of Gold Mined May
Be Found.
Arlzpe, Mexico. The famous San
ta Teresa mine, which has a record
of having produced ore to the value
of more than $10,000,000 gold during
the latter period of Spain's control of
Mexico, may again come Into prom
inent notice after being lost for more
than 100 years.
The musty records of this mine
were found a few months ago in the
government archives at Madrid,
Spain, by Pablo Resaza, who forward
ed a copy of them to Miguel Lon
gorio, a mining engineer employed by
one of the companies operating in the
Cananea district, this state. The
existence of this rich mine has been a
matter of common knowledge to many
mining men in this part of Mexico, al
most from the very time that Its lo
cation was lost Scores of attempts
have been made to rediscover the
property, but these expeditions have
all proved fruitless up to this time.
Mr. Longorlo has organized a party
of mining men, all of whom are Amer
icans except himself, to go In search
of the mine. It is said that the copy
of the record of the property's pro
duction also contains a complete de
scription of its location, and It is
thought that it will not be difficult to
find It. It is stated that there are
four men In the exploring party, and
that they have employed guides who
are familiar with the country where
the mine Is supposed to be situated.
It is known that the trading point
of the men who are employed in the

New York. City Court Justice
Flnellte ' has Just filed an opinion
based upon exhaustive research,
Biblical and otherwise, in denying an
application by Bernard Elliott Bur
stein, a lawyer of 548 West One Hun
dred and Sixty-fifth street, for per
mission to change his name to Bur
ston, by which name he was known
in college. While the application was
denied only because the papers were
faulty, the court held that it is not
necessary to bother some court when
you want to change your name. A
man may legally name himself or ac
quire a name by reputation, general
usage, and habit
Justice Flnellte mentions persons
known to history who changed their
names without recourse to law, among
them President Cleveland, who drop
ped Stephen from before Grover, and
President Grant, who had the name
Hiram before Ulysses dropped

was John Rowland.
Justice Flnellte says that In Biblical
times the conferring of names was
generally connected with some cir

Santa Teresa was Arizpe. The de

worked In the property are still liv

the fabulous richness of the ore and
the enormous quantity that was pro
duced are being told and retold since
It was learned that the chances are
good of the property being opened up.
The owner of the Santa Teresa
mine was Ignacio Munoz, a man of
great wealth who lived at .Guaymas.
The abandonment of the property was
due to the raids of Yaqui and Apache
Indians. These redskins massacred
many of the miners and the remain

entrance to. the shaft. Munoz, the
owner, died soon after this, the for

producer was supposed to be situated
no trace of It could be found.

such new names became popular in

EXHIBIT EMOTIONS OF FISH

London. "The term 'cold as a fish'
is one that should never be used,"
said Dr. Francis Ward, lecturing at
the Royal Photographic society's ex
hibition. Doctor Ward showed by a series
of photographs that fish are able to
express their emotions in a definite
manner. The pike showed expectancy
by raising its dorsal fin, and disap
pointment at losing its prey by curv
ing its back literally "getting the
hump."
Certain fish, it was shown, could ex
press fear by turning pale, their pig
ment cells changing to a lighter color;
and others could bluff successfully
by Imitating the more vicious and
weaponed fish among which it lived.

"The numerous cases of kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism are
mainly due to the fact that the drink
ing of water, nature's greatest medi
cine, has been neglected.
Stop loading your system with med
icines and cure-alls; but get on the
water wagon. If you are really sick,
why, of course, take the proper medi
cines plain, common vegetable treat

nerves or ruin the stomach."
To cure Rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they are
the filters of the blood. They must
be made to strain out of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu
tralized so It will no longer be a
source of Irritation to the bladder, and,
most of all, you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This
Is the cause ot stomach trouble and

you can do no better than take the
