EARLY DIAMOND BUYING
South Africna First Find Were Pnl4
For In Cows
South Africas first diamonds were
paid for in cows The story is told by
Joseph B Robinson one of the wealthy
pioneers of that country In 1S79 he
gave eight oxen and a wagon loaded
with sugar and robacco to a native Iv
exchange for a twenty three carat
gem The news spread like wildfire
through the countryside that a whito
man was giving away wagons ano
oxen ror Dits of stone he says I
set all the natives who came to work
to seek for diamonds on one side of the
Vaal river and I brought up my owd
fifty men to hunt for diamonds among
the bushes and scrub on the other side
of the stream I had bought the land
on both sides of the river so that I
was working on my own property
Next morning at sunrise when I was
having my coffee I was startled by
a loud hullabaloolng and looking
out I saw the whole gang of my men
Tushlng toward me in a state of wild
excitement
One of them had found a diamond
of good size They all had come to
see what I would do with it What
will you give me for It said the
finder I will give you ten cows I
replied and sent the man into the herd
to take his pick He marked ten of
the best cows as his own The men
had never dreamed of making such a
bargain Ten cows for a bit of stone
Off they went again and found dia
monds every day They became rich
and I accumulated a good store of
precious stones
After we had accumulated a large
quantity we decided we would better
send them to London We made a belt
full of small pockets In each of which
we placed a diamond When the belt
was filled my partner girded it about
his body and started for Cape Town
He never took off the belt until he
reached London And it was in this
way the first consignment of African
diamonds reached London
APACHE SHREWDNESS
The Imlinns Dalt Was Good hut the
White Man Didnt Bite
With the Apaches a really brava
man does not stand as high In public
estimation as does a clever thief His
chief excellence from an Apache stand
point lies in his ability to outwit the
white man says Mr Cremony the au
thor of Life Among the Apaches
I was sitting says Mr Cremony in
front of my tent writing a letter when
n young Apache came up and asked
what I was doing I replied I was talk
ing to my friend In Washington
How can you talk to your friend so
faraway
When an Apache wishes to talk of
speed to a distant friend I answered
he sends him a picture of a bird if he
talks of something sweet he sends a
picture of a flower Instead of pictures
the white man has these little signs
which all understand
The Indian took up the letter and
scrutinized it -carefully
I do not believe you he said You
try to make a fool of me These little
signs are all alike
I will give you proof I will write on
this little piece of paper that the sutler
is to give you some tobacco Go take it
to the store and see if I do not speak
the truth
The Indian snatched the paper and
was off A few minutes later I saw
him slowly coming toward me a piece
of tobacco in his hand and a look of be
wilderment on his face Suddenly his
expression changed to satisfaction and
he hurried forward
Did you get the tobacco I asked
Yes but I do not believe you You
and he had an understanding before so
that you might deceive me Now If you
will write some more of those little
signs on paper telling the sutler to give
me much more tobacco and if he does
then I will believe you
But the Indians ruse failed I did
not rise to the occasion
Walnuts and Butternuts
The city boy on a visit to the country
Is often puzzled in trying to distinguish
black walnuts and butternuts In the
green state The leaves are almost
alike being compound and having a
variable number of leaflets arranged on
a long stem The butternut stem has
from nine to seventeen leaflets and the
black walnut from fifteen to twenty
three The teeth on the latter are larger
and sharper than those on the butternut
and lack the fuzzy stem but the real
distinguishing feature Is the odor Hav
ing once smelled the crushed leaves of
a butternut and a black walnut a per
son can never fail to know them there
after St Nicholas
His Own Self
There is a time in every mans edu
cation when he arrives at the convic
tion that envy Is ignorance that Imi
tation Is suicide that he must tak
himself for better for worse as his
portion that though the wide uni
verse Is full of good no kernel of
nourishing corn can come to him but
through his toll bestowed on that plot
of ground which is given to him to till

Lead Pipe to Keep Razor Sharp
Lead pipe will keep your razor
sharp confided the garrulous barber
Get a short piece of the smallest
softest lead pipe your plumber has in
stock and keep it handy when you are
stropping the razor
The scheme is to rub the strop with
the pipe It works best with a plain
leather strop Apply the pipe just as
you would strop the razor to the un
finished side of the leather Strop your
razor on that side wind up with a few
passes on the finished side of the strop
and you will have a first class edge on
the tool I never took the trouble to
get a scientific explanation of the vir
tues of lead pipe as an aid to whetting
but it is all to the good in that respect
Philadelphia Record
J7ow It Affects Them
An Alpine guide who has had many
years experience in mountaineering
thus describes the behavior of differ
ent nationalities when they get to the
top of a peak
A German he Bays as soon as he ar
rives at the top wants to know the ex
act height of the mountain he Is on and
of every peak around him
A Frenchman goes Into raptures over
the wildness of the scenery and the
beauties of nature and sometimes ac
companies his remarks by an attempt
to embrace his guide
The Englishman when he has done
his peak plunges his Ice ax into tho
snow looks around him and then says
I say open the baskets and lets have
something to eat
Length of the Law
The phrase the length of the law
owes its origin to the enormous length
of some of the parchment rolls upon
which the ancient statutes of Great
Britain were inscribed The present
day official title of the master of the
rolls is a reminder of this ancient cus
tom Some faint idea of the bulk of
the English records may be obtained
from the fact that a single statute the
land tax commissioners act passed
In the first year of the reign of George
rv measures when unrolled upward
of GOO feet
An Ibsen Theory
In one of the published letters of
Ibsen he says that while he was writ
ing one of his plays he had on his desk
an empty ale glass with a scorpion in
it Now and then the animal would
grow sick and the author would throw
a piece of soft fruit to IT whereupon
the scorpion would fall upon the food
furiously empty its poison Into It and
then get well again Is It not a good
deal like this with us poets Ibsen
continues Natures laws apply In the
domain of the spirit also

Are You Tired Nervous
and Sleepless
Nervousness and sleeplessness are us
ually due to the fact that the nerves are
not fed on properly nourishing blood
they are starved nerves Dr Pierces
Golden Medical Discovery makes pure
rich blood and thereby the nerves are
properly nourished and all the organs of
the body are run as smoothly as machin
ery which runs in oil In this way you
feel clean strong and strenuous you are
toned up and invigorated and you arc
good for a whole lot of physical or mental
work Best of all the strength and in
crease in vitality and health are lasting
The trouble with most tonics and med
icines which have a large booming sale
for a short time is that thev are largely
composed of alcohol holdingthe drugs in
solution This alcohol shrinks up the red
blood corpuscles and in tbo im
greatly injures the system One may feel
exhilarated and better for the time being
yet in the end weakened and with vitality
decreased Dr Pierces Golden Medical
Discovery contains no alcohol Every
Dottle of it bears upon its wrapper Tlie
Badge of Honesty in a full list of all its
several ingredients For the druggist to
oner you something he claims is just as
good is to insult your intelligence
Every ingredient entering into tho
World famed Golden ArnHr nl nicm nM
has the unanimous approval and endorse
ment of the leading medical authorities
of all the several schools of practice No
other medicine sold throiich druggists for
like purposes has any such endorsement
The Golden Medical Discovery not
only produces all the good effects to bo
obtained from the use of Golden Seal
root in all stomach liver and bowel
troubles as in dyspepsia biliousness con
stipation ulceration of stomach and
Rowels and kindred ailments but tho
Golden Seal root used in its compound

in its curative ac

Looks After the Cents
A simple illustration will show the
care that is taken of cents by one of
the big banks of Chicago Stamped
postal cards are not used and not one
of the thousands of routine letters that
are written every day is stamped or
sealed until the whole routine mail of
the day is assembled In the afternoon
Then all the cards and letters to one
correspondent are put in a single en
velope and except for letters from the
officers and the like the bank comes as
near as possible to get its entire mail
carried at 2 cents an ounce or a cent
for every postal card instead of often
paying 2 cents for a quarter of an
ounce as It would have to do if every
communication were sealed and stamp
ed separately This little matter of
getting full value out of a two cent
stamp makes a sang of from 25 to
