Borne Idea* Ail van,, .al for Gift, ta Frl<anil» Hinl Itaalutlv... [CONTRIBUTES.] Christmas is upon us and, alas I all the pretty ideas wo had labelled "Christmas"and carefully stored away in our memories have lied with the months. Now, when we would recall them, we only think of what everyone has a heady, or sinnns too commonplace, or is beyond our purses. Why should, wo feel that giving and taking presents are a necessary part of tliis time of the year? Is it because of the Great Gift to mankind*! Whatever i« the underlying thought,, it has become a habit of the nations, and Christmas without its pretty remembrances would not be the time of goodwill, and bubbling bapplness,and cheery brightness it certainly is to young nnd old. The value of a gift is in direct ratio to the recipient's wants, nee^ls, likes, taste*-, longings, and and tothe loving and thoughtful watchfulness that discovers these and makes the gift accordingly. A ten cent article may, in I this way, lie more acceptable than one of manv times the money value. Many' a woman plans weeks ahead, saws and Bxesln every odd minute, and takes i from resting and sleeping times to get some love-token ready. Manv a man puts off to the Inst minute-then dashes into a Btore and pays a dollar or two for the first article in sight.

In the old shaft one round of holes from where the owners left off broke iuto a splendid bunch of ore. The lessees havo lieen fortunate to stake a big fraction, lying between the Nancy Hanks and l'ort Hope, the ground being quite valuable. the two dollars would have paid fair two magazines for his wife, that would give pleasure and brightneis to her and her household for the entile year. , Now for the father and boys A sltaviu*- papn- ease.

After that the proceedings hung fire somewhat, but got wanned up a littlo towards the last. Short speeches were offered bv Aid. Teeter, McNeish and Worden; if. V. Purviance.D, Araot.R, I. Kirkwood, D. S. McVannel and others. From these it was learned the position of local affairs. At present there was but u bare quorum in the council, and there was very little likelihood of a new board liein-j: secured for the mi- suing year. The idea was to endeavor to prevail upon those eligible for office to accept and fill up the full board. It was poiuted out that the town was free bom all debt except that of the mill debentures. At the same time no public Improvements could jjo on because of the non-collection of a large part of the taxes. Various speakers urged that steps be taken as soon as possible to collect these; and also to adopt measures leading to the instalment of a waterworks system and an electric li^ht plant. All the speaker.-. agreed that, whereas discord had prevailed in municipal circles in the past, it was now time that harmony should exist, and that the incoming council should lie (*ouiposn>d of men who would work together for the welfare of the place. Finally, upon motion.Acting Mayor Smith appointed D. Arnot, Al. Teeter ai'ii C. fi.

What success was met with will be made known at ths nieeting. *2.00 PER ANNUM. OUR ORE SHIPMENTS SUBSTANTIAL SHOWING MAI1B BY THIS DIVISION.

I hail been sent to London to look un a sharper and make hlm disgorge for the benefit of tho heirs of nuother sharper. The wife of one John Saunders, an Kngllshmnn who had died In Buffalo several years previously, had put her clnlnts In the hands of a New York lawyer. This Saunders had been mixed up ln a big swindle before leaving Em-land. Something like £20,000 had been reaped from It, but his partner In the transaction had gobbled on to most of It and hail also managed to pull his neck out of the noose, while Saunders Imd been hunted out of the country, lt was the claim of one swludler against another—no more, no less. Tire leverage we had consisted of a number of papers to which both names were attached. The nnme of the living partner was Smallwood, and it was understood that he had set np as a money lender. These papers criminated Small- wood In n sense, but ln ca?e he wns defiant we conld not push the case ngnlnst htm. "ifier some littlo trouble I found Bmallwood and his den.

I suppose you hnve come to make a new offer!" "I have como about that Liverpool affair," I replied, and I went on nnd stated the nature of his crime aud the name he used to sail under. The shot told. The mnu grew nervous and pale faced, and when I hud concluded he said: "How you secured your Information I do not know, but 1 will frunklv admit that lt Is partly correct.

Ilns he done vou a bod turn?" 1 did not give my case nwnv In replying, but gave him to understand that the money lender hnd refused tn do the square thing by mo. "He's a enr, n client, n swindler nnd nil Hint's menu and contempt! ble I" continued the stranger, with n good deal of feeling, "lie hns cheated nmi wronged me, nnd I enn get no satlsfac* tlon. Today, however, I learned Of nn Incident In his past life that will give me a good hold on him. I must go to Liverpool to complete my Information, if you will go along and become responsible for expenses, I will share the Information with you." For awhile 1 was chary of the man, thinking he might be In the pav of Smallwood, but I finally decided that I conld I'-se nothing by trusting him. Smallwood had once lived lu Liverpool under another name nnd bad been gnilly of ft crime for which he had to lice to r.rnzll and remain for several years. This man, who gave the name of Duff, proposed to go down and looK wondered what had happened and where I was a quiet spoken man who had the look of a doctor ertered and sat down beside me nnd felt my pulse and said: "Yon "**lll do now If you keep quiet. Let me say for your encouragement that cases Just as bad as yours have bc>°n cured In thr**-e months. The great point Is to avoid excitement." "In the first place.'where nm I?" I asked. "In Dr. Colwell's private lunatic asylum," ho replied. "Who brought me here?" "Your friends. The loss of your money ln that Peruvian speculation unbalanced your mind. You will be well cared for here, nud If you aid me as you should your detention will not last over three months." "I see how it Is," I said as I looked hlm straight In the eye. "I am indebted to Smallwood for this. He drugged mc and had me brought here that he miflibt have time to fix up his affnlrs r-nd Bklp. I demand my liberty this Instant:" "Come, come," he replied In a coaxing way ns he patted me on the shoulder. "I know no one named Sm<*ll- wood. Your friends In Beacon street brought you here, and Dr. Henry made out Ihe papers. All was perfectly regular. Let us have uo excitement Dinner will be ready In half an hour. Meanwhile think lt over." In that half hour I figured It out. Smallwood had drugged nnd abducted me. It might or might not be a private lusnue asylum, but tbe mon had surely been bribed to bold me fast for a time. If I raised a row, it would be the worse for rae. If I remained passive, 1 would be set ct liberty us soon ns the money lender left the country. 1 decided to mnke the best of things, and when the doctor returned 1 wns very quiet. The two of us ate supper together In a small room and were waited unon by nu old woman. Ho called rae Mr. I'er- rine, aud, according to his talk, I was a member of n mercantile lirm In London. Next morning ' was taken to walk In n narrow garden surrounded by high walls. I got sight of no other person, nor could I make out wbat. sort «>f place I wns In. Dining t'.e day X had the use of a silting room off my bedroom. It looked out ou the rear yard, ami the windows were barred, I was given plenty of rending matter, and the doctor played chess with me. and tek- "u altogether the time did not pass un- pleasantly, Iu the three weeks I was in the house I saw only the doctor and the old woman. At 0 o'clock ono ev-n- Intr I was told thnt my cure was complete nnd ten minutes later was being , driven nway from the building In a closed carriage. After an hour's ride I wa« set down In a street In Whll"- ch.ip.'l. nnd hnd 1 been hacked by nil 1 of Christopher Columbus. At any rate. I will tnke it that you have und call ***our attention to the fact thnt if he hadn't stuck to It wc might have been iKirn in Africa Instead of the United Stntes. He first got It into his hend that there was un acre or two of laud out- 11 nd buttermilk. I went barefoot In wiuter und bareheaded in summer. 1 got up nt 4 o'clock iu thc morning to feed the hogs and snt up till 10 o'clock ut night to feed the cows. The only schooling I hnd wns whnt 1 taught myself from reading over the tnx receipts nnd mortgages on my father's farm. As n young mnn I wasn't looked upon as unything too good to hoe corn at 30 cents n day. and those who didn't predict that I would go into the drive well business Wire sure that I would eventually open n side show with a cau* nlbul for the leading attraction. Tliey threw ine down and piled It on to me, hut they could not hold mc down. I got up to stick to it stronger than ever, and you see the result before you. Q. Hope Jones stands before you ns n mnn whose name is known from pole to pole, and it is known nowhere but to he honored. Be like me. You can if you will, ami it is not too much to hope that my remarks here this evening will incite such nluis nnd ambitions thnt twenty years hence North America will be ruled from Jackson's Corners. I will now close and pass around tho hat, and it ls needless for me to say that if any one here bas made up his mind to drop In ns much ns n dime I shall expect him to stick to it and not put me off with three coppers and half a dozen buttons. M. QUAD. ory prodded by n special government ollicinl under bonds lo perform Ills duty. "Sometimes I think this new scheme of mine saved my life once. It wns not very long ego. I hnd n bnd cold. My doctor gnve me some medicine Which he sold I must tnke every two hours, it wns absolutely Impossible for tne to remember to do so, so I took u pack of postal CO his nnd wrote on each, 'Tnko your medicine nnd mail yourself a card.' 1 started tho ball u rolling by dropping n card In n box and taking the lirst dose. The deliveries at my office ure exactly two hours apart. Whenever u currier appeared he handed me the reminder, and I swallowed my medicine nnd handed him a fresh curd. Besult, prompt cure." By this time we were aboard the frr- ryboat nnd on our way down the bay. "It certainly Is nn admirable Idea," I said. "But, by the way, what do ynu Intend to do with those postal curds you showed me?" "Confound the luck:" he said, looking chagrined. "I forgot to mail them'." NArOLEON WAS A IAItilF.lt DOT. side of Spain. It took him ten years to make the Spanish believe It, and to this duy they haven't got over their surprise. After once getting started he never let up, nnd he wu.s llunlly furnished with nu outfit and told to sail away and he hanged to hiin. They hnd got tired of his gub and wanted to send him to the bottom of the sen, but he didn't go there. He headed straight for America, sure thut mnple sugar nnd miiskrut skins awaited hlm here, and even when his sailors threatened mutiny If he did not turn buck ho would not yield. No American ought to lio down nt night or rise In the morning without blessing thc memory of the ninn who mnde it possible for us to be bom here and grow up to be big enough to weur tail coats and suspenders. Some lightning rod man may have come along here some dny and told you of Napoleon Bonaparte. Ile probably told you ten lies to ono truth, but the truth is interesting enough. There wns 11 boy born on the farm, and n mighty poor farm at that. His parents hardly knew enough to figure out how much four dozen eggs would come to at 13 cents a dozen, and tho nearest schoolliouse was three miles away, nnd the teacher wns druuk half the time. There wasn't one chanco fn a thousand of that boy making anything of himself above u chicken raiser, but ho suid to himself that ho would rulo the AnLi'il Vllte'a Assistance.

Unless the soap you use has thjs brand you are not getting the best DANGER IN SODA SIPHONS. Tlu-y Slay Explode and Canse !iijn.-y lo Tbose Wbo Slay He lfenr. Do you know that the siphon battle ordinarily useil for vlcliy, soda water nnd other effervescent drinks Is usually Charge*") with n pressure of from 120 to 100 pounds to the squnt-e Inch? The danger likely to result from on explo- siiui of one of these Utile household ur- ticles Is by no mentis inconsiderable, uml yet tbe overage person handles u siphon ns thongb It were the must harmless thing In the world. There are Iwo or three tilings to remember In handling slphous: Never keep your siphons near tho range, for the unusual beat Is more likely thau anything else to cause an explosion. I'on't subject the bottle to any sudden change of temperature whatever. For Instance, if you keep your siphons In the ice box—and thut ls the best nnd -.aTest place for tbem—don't grusp the -,'lass part of the bottle wilh your warm hand, for the sudden change of temperature is apt to cause tin explosion. The hest way to carrv n siphon nt nil times is hy the metal top in the head of tbe bottle, lt ls needless to say the greatest care should be taken not to drop a siphon, for an explosion Is the Inevitable result. When empty, tbe siphon in, ot course, quite harmless. That these bottles are considered a great source of danger ls evidenced by the fact that thc courts Inevitably hold the bottlers strictly liable for all dam- nges resulting from tlie explosion of one of them if even the slightest defect in the manufacture of the bottle can be showu. Ask l»t ths tyatmmsm, Bat. This Horse Knew. A doctor was returning home from visiting a patient late one night In company with a clergyman, when the horse stopped short at one of the most dangerous grade crossings within the city's limits. Absorbed in lively con- verflntlon with his clerteail friend nnd seeing no gate down, fce mechanically touched tbe horse with the whip and urged It by his voice to go forward. But the spirited animal for once would not respond and Instead of obeying stepped briskly aside nnd turned his head as far as possible from the train which just then whizzed by at the rate of forty miles an bour. It was a close call for tbe occupants of the carriage, wbo sat breathless through the moments of terrible suspense, but the horse maintained Its attitude of a half circle until the danger bad pnssed. It seems tbe gatekeeper was asleep at his post uud bad neglected his duty, but the delicate ears of tho horse had detected the sound of the coming train. Wlien the Poor Ride In Coaches. In tbe east side tenement house region conches are associated witb only- two things—weddings and funerals. Tbo coach is an indispensable feature of tbe wedding, and only the very poorest nre buried without tbe attendance of a mourning coach. The whole block knows wheu a wedding is to take place, and everybody ls on the watch when the coach and pair como dashing around tbe corner to receive tbe bride. The vehicle draws up beforo thc narrow entrance to a tenement and presently Is entered by the bride, half hidden In her white veil and all nodding with orange wreaths, while a gaping crowd looks on. The \10rses are lashed, the coach turns nu- other eorn'er, and in three minutes the bride is at the place of ceremony. The ceremony over, the coach tbls time swallows up both bride and bridegroom. Everybody Is charmed at thc sight. The gossips are busy for a day. Canlue liiielllateiu-c. A striking instance of canine Intelligence is reported from l'arls.

Tho closing months of tho year have witnessed the introduction of considerable, capital into south eastern British Columbia, the Boundary and East Kootenay camps being the principal beneficiaries. Development of the country's coal measures is proceeding atdtin unusual pace and good times are resulting. Tho Granby people's operations at Coleman promise big things, and now a Montreal outflt.wlth a capital of $4,500,000, has been or-- fa-anized to work areas close to those of the C.P.R. The Clow's Nest has made great strides during the past five ■years, but it is only a circumstance to what is before that section. It takes the sting from the situation experienced just now by dwellers in the Slocan io know that sister camps are enjoying .real progress and prosperity. Next year the Boundary mines confidently expect to produce one million .tons of ore.all of which will be treated in the country. It will lie a marvelous achievement, yet it will lie by no means beyond the capabilities of that section. The development and advancement of the copper resources have lx*e,n as remarkable as they are gratifying, and the influence exerted is lieing felt on the world's mai'Vets. The leading mines of the Boundary have ceased to draw from outside financial sources for support, for they .tuve r ac'ied the stage where they can take care of themselves, aud a little better. Coincident with the advancement of the Boundary comes progress in the coalfields of East Kootenay. One section is ls-ound up with the destinies of the other, and both combined furnish much of the material prosperity attributed to Diitish Columbia. It would be well for those who may lie secietly aspiring to fill the seats at the aldei manic board next year, to thiuk well and wisely of the task that is set before theni, for the position promises to be anything but «i sinecure. To commence with: At tho present time the city exchequer holds .roughly 5205, against which is drawn the payroll for November, and against which also should lie charged the salaries, school allowance and small incidentals for December. All the money derived from the sale of tho mill debentures is gone and nothing remains with which to purchase the balance of the property in the mill- site, (lone also is the portion collected from taxes to meet the first debenture payment. As a live asset, there is tho .Sloan building, which should realize (BOO. The revenue that stands before the incoming council is, with liberal allowances -Hotels $1100, traders' licenses %WQ, taxes $1200, and incidentals $,'MK), making S:uoo in all. On the other side of the ledger are the expenditures, placed at u small esti- nute School STOO.piling creek $1000, debentures $1000, salaries Si 150, rent, repairs and otlier incidentals SfiOO, totalling $1350. Fortunately the city hns no outstanding debts beyond the debenture liability, and it has back taxes owing of upwards of $2000, with I"" " ,the certainty of another SKXX) or more DRILL POINTS.
