PETRIFIED BOXES DUG UP
RELICS OF PREHISTORIC AGE
BEAUMONT, Cal., June 14.—The
discovery of the petrified bones of
various prehistoric animals in Bap
tiste Canyon, a few miles south of
Boaumont, has attracted the interest
of C. Frick, a son of H. C. Frick of
Pittsburgh, and further explorations
are being made under his direction.
Mr. Frick has secured the assist
ance of Joseph Rak, a scientist, and
excavations have been started which
are expected to disclose many speci
mens of great value in furnishing in
formation concerning the animal life
of the early ages.
Among the finds already made are
a tooth of a sloth, an animal that
grew to gigantic proportions, and the
bones of prehistoric horses and ante
lope. Special tools are required in
digging for the bones, as great care
must be taken to avoid breakage.
When the bones are uncovered they
are carfeully packed in cotton and
shipped to the State University at
Berkely, where they are classified
as to origin after their size and for
mation have been studied.

LEARN TO SAVE MONET.
On* N**dnt B* * Mi**r t* Cultivate
Thi* Fin* Habit.
•One of the liest habits that a young
man can form Is that of saving a cer
tain part of bis earnings regularly.
From ttie very first, when be bas made
arrangements with father and mother
in the home or with his landlady as
to what he shall pay Into the bouse for
bis keep, he should make It the rule of
bis life to put something, be It ever so
little, away from his weekly or month
ly wages.
It's a fine thing to l>e able to wear a
necktie that is artistic in its coloring,
a vest tiiat is beautiful in its construc
tion or a suit that is nobby and a hat
that is up to date. Hut better than all
these is the consciousness of u bank
account, however small it may be, and
the feeling of satisfaction that comes
from the knowledge that If he is taken
ill he will not altogether be dependent
upon his fraternal society, his family,
his friends or tlie cold chanty of the
world.
But greater thun the money that a
young man can save is the character
that be is establishing. Miserliness,
stinginess, greed, are to be abhorred,
but prudence aiid carefulness in ex
penditure are graces which, cultivated,
make a man a power in the commu
nity and give to him a character wbict
commends itself to all.—Exchange.
COSTLY THEATER SEATS.
N*w Yorksr* Foread to Pay Fancy
Pries* Thia Wintar.
It is not alone in the charges of res
taurants and cabarets that the roister
ing thousands hare raised havoc this
winter in New York. Theater tickets,
for example, have become a prohibitive
luxury for the average man and In
New York may cost almost anything.
Upon one occasion after the season
had got well under way an attempt
was made on a Friday to buy orches
tra seats for the next Saturday night
for auy one of the ten best drawing
attractions in the city. To begin with,
It seemed that all tickets had got into
the hands of speculators; also that the
speculators bad already disposed of the
bulk of their supplies and. thirdly, that
! such left over, none too good seats as
they still had could not lie obtained for
less than $5 apiece.
There was a particular rush at the
time this attempt was made^J»ut nev
ertheless under conditions normal to
this year the good seats for successful
productions cannot prevailingly be se
cured for less than $5 apiece, and the
best seats are usually half, as much
again, mounting higher toward the end
of any week.—Cameron Mackenzie in
Saturday Evening Post.
When Buffaloes Swept tho Plaina.
In pioneer days the railroads cross
ing the plains were often delayed for
many hours by* buffaloes. Ill 1871 ami
1872 trains on the Atchison, Topeka
and Saute Fe railroad were* charged
by the enraged beasts, cars were de
railed and overturned and the lives ot
train crews and passengers endanger
ed. Many tales of hairbreadth esea|ies
were related by small parties of sol
diers, frontiersmen and emigrants, and
it is i>ossihle that many an emigrant
wagon with its occupants that left the
Missouri river and was never seen
again was overwhelmed by the buffa
loes rather than wilted out of existence
by the Indians, to whom all unexplain
ed disappea ranees were attributed.
■Large buffalo bulls weighed 2,000
pounds or more, and cows weighed in
tbe neighborhood of 1,200 pounds.
Herds numbering many thousands were
really irresistible and in a stamitede
carried all before tbem.

The Senator’s Sarcasm.
For many years there served in tbe
United States senate a man of brilliant
iniud and many fine qualities, but who
was forever estranging many with
whom be desired to be friendly by
| reason of his incurably sarcastic man
ner both of speech and action. Once
an intimate friend wrote the senator
urging tbe appointment of another
friend to a minor position in tbe gov
ernment. 'Tbe senator returned a most
sarcastic reply, declining to recom
mend tbe appointment. It is said that
be never forgot the merited rebuke be
received from the friend who bad sug
gested tbe api*oiutment:
My Dear Senator—1 think it would be
well for you to reserve your sarcasm for
tbe rapidly increasing number of your en
emies, instead of offering it to the de
creasing number of your friends, of whom
1 am one.
