Farlln had located several claim on the Butte hill and one down below the town called tha Trevonia. The Trevonia was promising.

When the loan came due Farlln was un able to meet It, and In order to secure his friend Clark, placed all his mining prop erty In Clark's hands with the understand ing that Clark should work the properties to the best advantage, pay off the indebt edness and restore the claims to Farlln, I-urabee looked upon Clark's mineral hold ings with distrust, and In a settlement be tween the two, took a band of valuable horses belonging to the firm In exchange for his half Interest in the mines which had once belonged to Farlin.

Queer Facts About Railroads The oldest and perhaps the oddest sec tion of railway 'still In existence Is in use as a part of the South Carolina & Guorgia systtm. It waa built In ISM,' and is said to be the only passenger line in the whole world that ever waa run by wind power. With a favoring breese thirteen passen gers and three tons of iron were carried at a rate of ten miles an hour. Tha oldest steam railway that still la in exlsters-e Is a short line that runs from Stockton to Darlington, in England. It first was opened In IKS, and has been In continuous operation. In England can be found both the cheap est and the most expensive miles of rail way ever built. The eight-mile line known as the Wotto i tramway, and which was built- by the late duke of Buckingham and Chandos, cost less than $7,000 a mile to build.

No Music in His Soul " Trouble that had been brewing for some time past between the girl employes and the managers of a factory in Trenton. N. J., finally came to a crisis by the Interdic tion of singing during working hours, and the girl have gone on atrike. Although wages were unsatisfactory and although the leaders of the girls were de termined to bring about an advance at an early duy. lf such a thing were possible, all were going about their duties cheerfully and performing their work satisfactorily until they were told to top lnglng. Then the girl became cross, and when a man waa put In charge to replace a woman foreman they made life miserable for him. Completely out of humor, they were disin clined to obey orders, and the Increasing dally friction between them end the boss finally resulted in the walkout. In an attempt to Justify themselve the claim la mode on behalf of the manager that the singing was "worse than one of those 1-penny vaudevilles." If the singing had been high class, so it la intimate, there would have been no particular objec tion to It. 80 that it was not so much the singing as it was what the girls sang and the way they sang that led to the Issu ance ot the order against it. Many of the leading industrial concern of the country not only permit but en courage singing among their male a well aa female operatives. In several Institu tions leaders of singing are paid by the management. It ha been found that the employes, particularly where they are gath ered In large rooms, work faster and bet ter to music than they would without it. Song brighten up the long morning and afternoon hours, shortens them, cheer the heart of the worker and make toll a pleasure, rather than a burden. But, of course, there are aongs and songs, just a there 1 music and music, and it 1 not difficult to see where the Trenton girls, if denied the direction which Is accorded operative In other large establishments, might fall Into the way of slnajng songs which were far from being uplifting. The fault, however, would be the manager', not their. Th way to correct the evil, if an evil of thl kind existed, wa not to abolish th singing, but to reform and Im prove it. The song at present In vogue, which might just aa well or much better have been left unsung need not be mentioned. Their names will occur to any well In formed reader. But there are thousands of good songs that might have been sub stituted, and these are not necessarily dif ficult or sad. Assuming that the girl sang "Every body Works but Father," "Walts Me Round Again, Willie," and "Waiting at the Church" all day long, it Is easy to see why the manager would rather suspend buHlnes altogether than suffer the torture. But they might have solved the problem without doing either. Chicago Inter Ocean. A Missionary's Experience The Rev. Frederick B. Brldgman, the noted and successful missionary to tho Zulus, wa talking in Philadelphia about missionary work. "I am very hopeful of It," he said. "I may be a little too hopeful because I have had such good success. It is better, though, to be too hopeful than too doubling. "Much depend upon the character Of th people one works among, and I can sym pathise a little with the missionary who returned home from China in a very de spondent mood. "A Chinese convert stole thl missionary' watch and then came back to him th next morning to learn bow to wind it up."
