the future advance In the price of the
metal.
Prices did not fall to the earlier low
level In the second hour, although the
copper group began to show heavi

Higher prices accompanied a large

"I AM NOT AFRAID
TO MEET MY DEATH"
It will surprise many to know thai
they have In their homes material es
tlmated to be 4,000 years .old. If th
shingles or Interior nnish Is red cedai
or If you have a red cedar chest It li
possible that the wood antedates the
history of this country by thousand?
of years, says the Cleveland Leader.
A Cleveland man is credited with
bringing the first red cedar Into this
section. W. A. Gelst, on a western trip
several years ago, was attracted by the
red cedar forests at Port Angelus
Wash. He established a mill there
and began shipping the cedar to the
eastern market. Formerly the south
era cedar was used In great quantities
but it is the claim of Mr. Gefst that
the product from the Pacific coast is
growing in favor and the demand for
It la increasing.
It Is a most durable wood and it?
use In a home guarantees that moths
and other troublesome Insects will not
enter. It is used for wainscoting man
tels, cupboards, cabinets and especially
for chests In which to store furs and
clothing. Mr. Oelst exhibits a quantity
of red cedar cut from a tree be est!
mates to be at least 3700 years of age
Three large cedars were found growing
from a fallen log which was five and
one-half feet in diameter. The largest
of the three trees growing from the
fallen tree was ten and one-half feet In
diameter. By counting the rings In
both trees indicates that the fallen
tree, still sound, is nearlng its four
thousandth birthday.
Mr. Ceist Is an expert upon red
cedar and goes In for the history of
the wonderful trees of Washington and
other coast states as a biographer
would the data upon the life of some
famous man. He surrounds a bolt of
shingle cedar with an Interesting story,
which goes back to the misty ages and
something like reverence grows within
the listener for this venerable work of
nature.
Unquestionably the red cedar is the
oldest material used in the construc
tion of the home and few materials
will outwear it, It being nearly Inde

As a result of the blizzards in west
ern Kansas, which are reported to be
the worst since the winter of 1886, no
trains came into Las Vegas tjday
from the north, with the exception of
stub No. 1, which was run between La
Junta and Albuquerque, to accommo
date local traffic. From the south No

the Meadow City. Santa Fe trains
yesterday afternoon arrived several
hours late with the exception of No
9 which was caught in the blizzard,
and of which no word had been re
ceived hd to 3 o'clock ba after
noon. All trains due in Las Vegas this af
ternoon have been abandoned as they
were indefinitely late. They probably
will be run over the Belen cut-off,
which route is south and east o! the
storms in Kansas. The California
Limited, which was to have come
through here this morning, was run
over the cut-off. Last night trains
No. 2 and No. 4 did not come through
Las Vegas but were sent over the
cut-off. No. 8, due in Las Vegas af
ter midnight last night, came in thi3
morning eight hours behind time. Up
to noon today It was not known m
Las Vegas whether the trains this
evening from the south would be run
over the Belen cut-off or through Las
Vegas, though train No. 10 of this af
ternoon was scheduled to come into
the Meadow City at 5:45 o'clock, four
hours late.
The worst weather is reported to
be between Dodge City and Hutchln

SO SAYS CONDEMNED MURDERER
JUST BEFORE HE PAYS PEN
ALTY ON GALLOWS.
San Francisco, Jan. 12. Mark A.
Wilkins, who was convicted of the
murder of Mrs. Vernie Carmen, wjith
whom he eloped from Kansas City In
1907, was hanged at San Quentin
prison at 10:31 a. m. today. The body
was pronounced dead and taken from
the scaffold at 10:17.
Just before being taken from the
death chamber, Wilkins made the fol
lowlngi statement to Warden Hoyle:
"I want you to say for me, as my
last words on earth that I am an Inno
cent man, and have no fear of death.
Express my deep gratitude to those
who have been active In trying to se
cure a pardon."
Wilkins slept soundly all night. He
dressed carefully and announced to his
guard that he was ready. Two priests
spent the hour preceding the execu
tion alone with him.
The condemned man walked with a
firm step to the death chamber, where
a small group of physicians, prison
officials and newspaper representa
tives were waiting. The cap and
noose were adjusted and. the trap
sprung in less than three minutes. A
bit of metal, sharpened to a razor edge
was found In Wilkins' prayer book af
ter the execution.

King's "Fake" Gold Plate.
The first point of Interest Is sug
gested by the title of the volume,
"The Gold and Silver of Windsor
Castle." Whenever a royal banquet
at Windsor or Buckingham palace is
described in the newspapers the writ
er says that "the sideboards were
adorned with the famous gold plate."
In point of fact, there are only three
pieces of gold plate In the Windsor
collection, two of them a small snlver
ten and one-half inches In din meter
and a cup and cover nine and one
half inches high, both dating from the
first year of George IV, and It Is a
melancholy fact that the former was
made from a number of gold snuff
boxes presented to the Duke of York
by various cities and by the Univer
sity of Oxford. All the rest of the
"gold" plate Is really silver gilt, and
Mr. Jones' book brings out the curious
fact that most of the gilding, even of
the silver pieces that had been made
a century or two earlier, was done by
George IV's goldsmiths, Rundell and
Bridge. London Times.
For Those Who Hear Not
The hallboy had fairly split his
throat shouting directions to deaf per
sons who had called to see Mr.
Schwartz. Mr. Schwartz lived in the
fourth floor rear, right-hand apart
ment, through the long hall and up
the back stairs. It took a good deal
of shouting to make some folks under
stand that.
"I never saw so many deaf people
In my life," said the boy. "What on
earth are they all running up to
Schwartz's for?"
"Mr. Schwartz has advertised a deat
man's phonograph for sale," said a
neighbor. "He Is very hard of hear
ing. The phonograph was made espe
cially for him. It has an unusually
loud tone. Nobody but the hard-of
hearing can live with such entertain
ment. Mr. Schwartz, to save trouble,
has advertised for a deaf purchaser."

Power is the goal of every worthjn
ambition, and only weakness comae

self-generated. We cannot In

Nothing else so destroys the power
to stand alone as the habit of leaning

carrying out the method a small quan

of the carbon bisulphide is poured in

Light of the Firefly.
The statement that the light of fire

Is produced without any sensible de
gree of heat has often been repeated
without any information as to the
quantity of heat that would be required
to produce a similar amount of light
by artificial methods. This information
is supplied by Professor Mcintosh. He
says that a temperature approaching
2,000 degrees Fahrenheit would be nec
essary to make a light equivalent to
that emitted by an ordinary firefly.
The enormous waste in all industrial
methods of producing tight Is a mat

the mechanism employed by nature

ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES.
Never cut a limb from a fruit
tree unles you know just why yoa
do it.
If the rabbits have only gnawed
the outer bark, wrap the wound with
cloth.
Diversified gardening is the safest
course for growers supplying local
markets.
"It is a bad mistake to neglect an
orchard when It is not producing a
crop of fruit.
Seed potatoes, like table stock,
should be stored as cold as possible
without frost.
A bruised potato is a short-lived
potato. Handle them carefully, as if
they had feeling.
