prices vary in gems that are not up to

siderably higher than the average
white stone, which suffers by com
parison with one that scintillates with
that intense brilliancy of watery tints.

"Do you mind quoting some of your

"Not in the least. The ruby you

$100 to $7,000 per stone. The finest

season are worth $13,000. Then we
have single stones rauging from $1,

ROPING THE WOLF.
Cowboy's Lively Kxperlenee on
Backing Broncho's Back.
Perry Stiff, a cowboy employed on
George W. Baxter's ranch, was i"n town
yesterday, says the Cheyenne Leader,
with three gray wolf skins and three
coyote skins, all of which netted him
$26.25. The county pays $3 bounty
for wolf scalps "and 75 cents for
coyotes, and the Stockmen's Protec
tive association pays $5 for wolves.
Baxter's ranch is about fifty miles
northeast of here on Little Horse
creek. Mr. Stiff says there are plenty
of wolves there. The skins be brought
in yesteeday were from wolves which
he roped while riding the ranges. As
a wolf-huuter the cowboy has so far
been more successful than the mem
bers of the Cheyenne Wildcat club,
and his experience with the animals is
much more thrilling. Recently, while
riding a broncho, Mr. Stiff saw a pack
of wolves chasing a bunch of horses,
in the rear of which was an old mare
and colt, the object of the chase being
fresh colt meat. Si iff got behind a hill,
and as the frightened horses (lew by he
put the spurs to his broncho, and, sing
ling out the biggest wolf iu the pack,
made the chase.
As the cowboy's horse was fresh and
tie wolf already pretty tired it was not
long until the noose was dropped over
the head of the big gray. The animal's
fore feet went through the loop, how
ever, aud the rope tightened around
his body in such a way that he was
able to make a stong pull. Finding
himself at the end of the rope the
brute, after failing to cut it with his
sharp teeth, made a dash for liberty in
another direction. lhe movement
drew the rope about the broncho's hind
legs and tail, and the natural result
was some very hard bucking. Be
tween the bucking horse and the wolf
Stiff had his attention pretty well
taken up. He held to the bucking
strap, and finally got straight with the
wolf at the end of the rope and square
in front of the horse. By this time the
wolf refused to run, but sat up, and,
showing his long, sharp teeth, was
ready for a tight. This was just what
the cowboy wanted. Riding up close
to his woltship to get as much slack
as possible, be turned quickly and ap
plied the spurs. When the rope
tightened the wolf turned a couple of
somersaults and was almost broken in
two, but the rope held firm to the saddle-horn.
By a series of such maneuvering the
wolt was finally worn out and dragged
to the ranch. i!7r. Stiff says he has
seen as high as nine wolves in a pack
last summer. Not long ago four of
them killed a calf in Baxter's pasture.
Stiff made a suggestion to another
cowboy that while the animals were
full of calf meat was a good time to
chate them down. The suggestion
was acted upon, and after a chase of
nearly three miles a big fellow was
caught. Mr. Stiff also roped three an
telopes during the summer, lie says
that if the Cheveune boys will come
out they can have plenty of sport.
Wolves are seen every day and there
would be no trouble in getting up
chase with bounds.
Expert Coin Handlers.
There are men and women in New
York who handle money in small
quantities, from five to ninety-five
cents, who acqotre a skill and dex
terity absolutely marvellous. They
are cashiers of restaurants, popular
dining and lunch rooms, where the
rush is very great at certain hours
during the day and where everything
in the shape of payment comes along

amounts less than $1 and never uni

It may be a young girl or a young
man. who never had anv lormer ex-
erience in handling coin or notes, but
he or she becomes so expert that it
makes an ordinary business man a
bead swim , to watch them. One of
these lightning change artists, a red
headed young man named Havward,
.who is in a big lunch room near the
Post Utlice, has a long standing wager
of $10,000 that he can beat anybody-
making change bar none. And that
young man is certainly wonderful.

those of many women in the re

for the ordinary eye. to count, saying
nothing of the money feature. But
the work of the Treasury woman ex

and bills alone; his involves constant
ly varying amounts of minor coin and
bills together. Certain hours of every
day will find an unbroken line of cus
tomers with lunch checks and money
passing the cashier's desk. To see
young Havward manipulate those
checks and coins and bills is a curi

Bad money? I can tell a bad coin

in a flash too quick for the eye. I
conldn't explain it, and to know any
thing is quicker than to see it. There are
bad dimes passed here every day. Most

An English naturalist has discovered

"The days of the street car, grips M
well as trailers, having the seats ar
ranged crosswise instead of parallel with
the car, are numbered." This remark
was made a few days ago by a well
known Chicago physician who is the
medical examiner for an accident insur
ance company which insures the lives of
many street car employees as well as
patrons.
"Why do you say that?" was the query
of a friend.
"For this reason the cars built with
the seats crosswise almost invariably
have footboards running alongside so
that the passenger may get on or off the
car 'at any spot in the road, as the sport
; would say, and these footboards facili
I tate a passenger in getting into danger.
! For instance, the rules of all the cat
! companies rcvpiire the passenger to get
on or off the car on the side nearest the
sidewalk. This rule was intended to
keep the people off the track of the car
going in the opposite direction. But
these rules are not obeyed, and street
car companies must pay damages when
any one is hurt, and the conductor has
no opportunity to stop bis car if the
passenger takes a notion to get off with
out signaling him to stop, and many peo
ple are injured while getting off a cat
while it is in motion sometimes by be
ing struck by a vehicle or another car,
sometimes by slipping ou the treacher
ous footboard or by making some kind
of a misstep. I
"The car with the end door as the only
means of exit is the one which protects
the company from many damage suits.
The open car with the running foot
board may be cheaper in construction,
but statistics will show that nine-tenths
of the accidents caused by getting on
and off cars occur on open cars or grips
with the cross seats and running foot
boards. I think there 6hould be a city
ordinance against their use. Besides,
the street car companies will some day
awaken to the fact that cars of that
style sometimes cause in one minut
damage equal to their first cost." Chi

Albert Edward's Slumming: Experience.
There are just now stories flying about
of the Prince of Wales visiting the
"slums" under a rather comical disguise,
but though it is known that the prince,
accompanied by Lord Carrington, mad
himself acquainted with the "seamy"
side of life, very little art was required
to conceal his identity. Indeed, it is
surprising, though Englishmen are as a
rule familiar, more or less, with the ap
pearance of their future sovereign, how
often his presence in a place where he is
not expected passes without recognition.
Some years ago the prince, quite in
cognito, traveled down to Folkestone to
meet Princess Louise, who was coming
over from the Continent, and as there
was some time to wait before the arrival
of the steamer, he strolled about on the
quay and ultimately went out with a
boatman of local fame for a Bhort cruise
in the channel. When they got safely
back the prince remarked, "Perhaps
you would like to know who I am?"
"I don't know as I cares; it ain't no
odds to me," came the reply.
"Well, I'm the Prince of Wales."
"The Prince of Wales!" ejaculated the
old mariner, giving his customer a play
ful dig in the ribs. "Get along with

A Storehouse of Electricity.
Minnesota, not to be behindhand in
marvels, tells of an electric well which
one of its citizens claims to have been
discovered near Red Wing recently. Ac
cording to the story the drillers had
drilled about 150 feet when they lost
their drill rods and a diamond drill.
The whole business had dropped to no
where in an instant. There was quite a
force of air coming out of the hole, and
the men said there was no use going any
farther, because there wasn t any bot
tom. They concluded to fish for the
rods and drill, but as soon as the rods
were dropped into the hole they began
to shiver in a queer way.
One of the men took hold of the bar
with a pair of leather gloves, and he was
knocked down. Then Holly well touched
the rope and got a shock, because it was
wet. There seems to be a perfect natu
ral storehouse of electricity. It is gen
erated in some way in that pocket where
the drills went, and there is enough of
it to execute a whole countv at once un
der the New York law. Philadelphia

A Grand Old Commoner.
Though, essentially a modest man, Mr.
Smith had a certain pride of his own.
Public rumor was always conferring
peerage upon him, and I suppose that
had he lived he would have accepted
one. But he was proud of his inde
pendent and "self made" position as a
wealthy commoner. "You see," he said
to me, "I have no aristocratic connec
tions, no family interests; indeed, I
haven't a male relative alive except my
own boy. 1 am completely unprejudiced
and unfettered." He was aware of th6
advantage this gave him. He was rich
and a plebeian, and his colleagues had
confidence in him accordingly as a strong
administrator. Pall Mall Gazette.
Question of Telephone Charges.
A proposal has been made by Dr.
Strecker, of Berlin, which seems to solve
the question of telephone charges. He
proposes to levy a fundamental charge
to meet the expenses for installation,
maintenance and depreciation, in addi
tion to a time charge, to meet the work
ing expenses. Nothing could be fairer
than to charge for the use of the tele
phone according to the duration of con
versation, and Dr. Strecker proposes to
use a clock which goes as long as the con
versation lasts. New York Telegram.
