That stock' in the Copper King is
anything but a drag on the market is
evidenced by the way R. A. Snyder,
manager, and J. II. Robinson, secre
tary of the company, are closing con
tracts for blocks of this stock to lo
cal people. They have spent several
days In the city, and will be at the
Foley hotel for some little time be
fore leaving for the mine near Jos
eph.;. Few mining companies have the
strong men on their board of direc
tors that the Copper King possesses,
which insures a square deal to every
Investor, no matter how small the
amount of stock he buys.
The report of Mr. Nichols, expert
mine examiner, recently made on the
Copper King establishes a perman
ent value to the mine, and the further
fact that very rich ore has been un
covered In the few days, adds to
the' attractiveness of this mining
proposition.
Only ten more days remain for
stock to be purchased at the price of
ten cents a share, and after that time
the board of directors hag voted to
place It at 25 rents. Extensive work
Is now being planned and within a
few months the Copper King should
be paying dividends with large blocks
of ore in sight, 1 '

While suuu.t-i'iug lelsdrcly along :t
thoroughfare, smoking, largely for the
purpose of killing Utne. I was accosted
by. a gentlemanly, - well, dressed man
who doffed his hat before speaking to
me.
"I beg pardon, sir." be said, "but
could you spare me a little of your
timer
"For what purpose, sir?" ' " .
"That Is not easy to explain on the
street. " If yon will step inside I will
how you rather than tell you."
"Inside where?"
. "Right here."
He pointed to ao open door, and I
could see a staircase. The building
seemed to be unused.
There are1 people who seem to have
a power to make other peopfe obey
them, not by force, not always by In
sistence. In this case the man was so
gentlemanly in his request that I did
not like to refuse him. At any rate,
before I realized what I was doing I
had gone to the upper floor of an unoc
cupied building with a person who had
accosted me on the street and asked
me to go with him, for what purpose
he had not explained. This seems to
me now absurd on the face of it, and
at the time I knew that I should do
no such thing, but I couldn't help it

ond floor. In its center was what
looked to me to be a hot air furnace,
only It was neither round nor square,
but oblong. He closed the door be
hind us, and I heard a click. I didn't
like it, for it sounded as though It
came from a lock that closed auto
matically. I was about to turn and
get out of the place, but my pride held
me. and I waited to be Informed fur
ther as to this strange proceeding.
The gentleman led me to a corner of
the room railed off apparently for an
office, where there were chairs, and in
vited me to be seated.
"Do you see that oven 7' he, said.
"Well, that has cost me a great deal
of labor. Perhaps you think it is a
crematory, but it Is not It is an oven
for baking bread. A hundred loaves
fin he baked at once and in three tum
ulus. That's 2.000 loaves an hour, and
by working day and night three reliefs
we have 28,000 loaves a day. Six work
ing days give us 1GS.00O loaves a week.
Fifty-two weeks produce 8,730.000
loaves n year,
"So much for what my oven will do.
Now for my object. It Is to feed the
world. You Ree. my single oven is not

of the earth from the sun."
Since I could see no relationship be
tween loaves of bread and the earth's
distance front the sua I began to feel
a bit uncertain about the gentleman'
upper story. So I said to bim. rising:
"You'll hnve to excuse me, sir. It is
not possible for mo to remain any
longer."
"Iiut you have not examined my ln-
j ventlon. Besides. I told you I wanted
; you for a purpose."
"What purpose?"
"Come; I will show you."
lie led me to the" oven. He seemed
bo harmless that I followed bim. He
threw open tho door, displaying a num
ber of Iron shelves.; I was somewhat
relieved that there was no beat in the
oven. .
"My arrangement for beat is by
chemical process. There are many sub
stances that produce heat in combining
chemically. Why should we burn coal?
I turn this cock and my substances run
together. In a short time I shall have
my oven quite hot enough to do my
baking."
"I wouldn't turn ' It on if I were
you." I remarked, "since you have no
bread ready for baking."
"I have something else. My desire
Is to bake a human being."
This was getting warm, as the chil
dren say when hunting for things in
games. And, as the strange gentleman
looked at me. Indicating that I , was
the human being he proposed to bake.
I felt not only warm, but a cold per
spiration stood out on me, especially
when he drew a long sharp knife with
whlt-h to inforri his ripmnnrti. I know
I had to deal with a lunatic and kept
my head.
"I shall be happy," I said, "to have
you bake me. On which shelf am I to
take position?"'
"Step in aud I will show you."
"After you." I said deferentially,
bowing and raising my hnt.
lie stepped into the furnace. I closed
the door with a bang, and the big iron
latch fell into position. Then the
room swam, and I fell on the floor. But
I did not remain there long. Fearful
that the lunntlc might smother, I ran
to the door of the room, found It locked
and could not open it. I tried a win
dow, and that served a call through.
In a few minutes a policeman came
up the stairs, broke down the door
and- let the gentleman baker out. He !
was nearly sufTocated and gave no
trouble. " He had employed men to '
build his oven without their having
the slightest suspicion as to bis sanity.
I learned that he was a scientific man
and had been an Inventive genius as
well. On my testimony he was com
mitted to nn asylum.
It mnlies me irnwl when I think
that by n mere act of politeness I was
saved from death.
