Finch, the well known mining man, shvs lie looks for a big improvement at the beginnin,-- of the new year and that all silver-lead mines will resume operations. He basbs his predictions on the rapid decline of the surplus lead on the American market. He savs: "Not long ago the surplus lead held by the Smelting and Refining Cum' -my ag gregated 60,000 tons. That surplus li.is been reduced to 40,' ^0 ton.- and is going down, and when it reaches the 20,000 mark it. will no loiufer be considered a surplus, lb*.' thc reason that at no time in the most prosperous days of silver and lead mining were there less than 20,009 tons of lead in storage and in transit Another hopeful sign is the marked indication ofa rise in the price of lend on the London market, which bids fair in the. near future to reach the £'15 mark, which means $.75 a ton in American money. When this point is reached on the English market, it will greatly stimulate the export trade and will draw heavily from the silver-lead mines. "A number of the lead minors of the United States were to have met representatives of the Smelling and Refining Companv lis New York a I mil i. the 26th, and as a mutter of course we cannot say posiuvc.lv what the outcome will be, and While wo do not look for long contracts, all the indications point to such an agreement as will warrant a revival in the silver-lead mines throughout the west. "Bv no means will the combine snbmit to any reduction in tlie market price of lead as a means of curtailing production while a surplus exists. From a business standpoint the combine cannot afford to relax the market by a. voluntary decline In the price for tho reason that for the entire surplus the combine now has on hand it. lias paid I cents a pound, and a decline In the market to 3) cents would mean a loss of between 13,000,000 to $4,000,000 to tho smelter trust on the surplus already on hand, to say nothing of existing contracts, This sacrifice the smelter trust is unwilling to make, and from a business standpoint it cannot be expected to do so. The hope of the silver-lead mining industry depends, as I have said, on the. reduction ofthe surplus, and until that is done there will be no stability iu lead mining, but present indications point, to an early adjustment and the surplus will be so far exhausted as to be of no material influence in tho future market price and the making of contracts for the future output ofthe. mines. "1 may be greatly mistaken in my prediction of the future, but I confidently expect a marked revival in mining operations after January 1. Much, however, will depend upon'thc outcome ofthe meeting in New York City." CHAMI'lON <;KOUI> MOLD. Purcliuse Honey raid Into the Bank at Windsor, Out. Chas. Dempster, who floated the Republic deal, has successfully disposed of the Champion group, *on Twelve Mile, to eastern parties. W. Harrington, one of the owners in the Champion, received a wire, Wednesday evening, from' the bank at Windsor, Ont., stating that the purchase money had that day been paid over to his credit. Later on The Drill man received the following telegram from Mr. Dempster; "Windsor. Ont., Nov. 27, 1901 Champion deal consummated, A strong company arranged for. Re-' tinning Saturday." When last here Mr. Dempster secured options on a number of properties, including the Champion, and the above wire demonstrates how successful he has been in interesting more capital into this promising section. The Champion group consists of the Champion and Sapphire claims situated about 1£ miles from the lake and are owned by Billy Harrington and Hilly Leo. Tho claims were located last spring and have had nothing done on them beyond surface stripping. By this an "ore chute has been exposed that is one ot the big things even in this camp of big things. The ore body, so far as shown, is 300 feet long and runs as wide as 2$ feet. Assays show that that the general a vcrago of the-ore is away up. It is a dry ore and similar to that of the V st M group. In deference to the wishes of the interested parties, thp. price and terms of the deal are withheld, but thc figures are for a substantial a mount, and will place the fortunate owners on easy street. What Mr. Dempster's plans are will not be known until he arrives, but it is expected he will order work to begin at once on both the Republic and Champion. The two groups being so near Slocan, the benefit accruing from their operation Will be great. The men interested in the respective companies are among the best in .Michigan and their advent into the camp means everything for the future growth of the division. Mr. Dempster is to be congratulated on his success. Scores Ass utiles- Success. Miss Quecnie McCoy, the popular songstress of Vernon, scored another success in her concert, given in the concert hall on Tuesday, and in which she was assisted by local talent. As at liei* previous appearance here,Miss McCoy met with a warm reception. Encores were frequent, testifying to the appreciation felt. The programme numbered 11 selections, and was as choice, as it was pleasing. The gifted songstress displayed her capabilities to the utmost, her oi,e aim being to please her audience. Miss McCoy is about the most talented and finished entertainer that has yet visits-d tlie city. Lome York's cornet solo was well given and thoroughly enjoyed, while Mrs, W. J. Adcock presided at the piano in her customary able manner. Miss McCoy assists at a Seotch concert In Kaslo tonight, and on Monday night appears at a big affair in Nelson. Tntnifar stas-t* Dp. Sid Norman, who recently bonded the Transfer group of claims,arrived in from Spokane on Tuesday, and at once set about arranging matters for tho development or the property. Supplies lor a force of six or seven men to last a month were purchased and sent up the hill next dav, Bobby Allen's packtrain taking them up. D. s. McVannel finished the new hunk house, on Monday and everything is in shape at the paoperty for proper work. Mr. Norman will pro* seoute development all winter and, as he has a promising group to work upon, lie is certain to meet with success. Ilroinnoi' vs. Arlington ttlao*.

Only 20 tons of ore was sent ont this week and that came from the Enterprise. That tells the condition of the roads in the camp. They are in a frightful state and cannot bo used. An effort was made to handle some of the Arlington mineral, but tho wagons got stuck or broke down and the attempt was abandoned. It has been an extraordinary open fall and it looks as if the mild weather would continue for a while. A great hardship is being worked upon the mines. Last year the exports from this division amounted to 2847 tons, made up from 10 properties. P'ollowing is a list ot the shipments this year to date: MIME. WEEK.

Montfort In knocking Jim Thorn down the war he did he had demonstrated to bis neighbor* that be was not so much a coward as they had supposed. That within Itself was a ureal deal to be proud of, for he felt that In removing the stain of cowardice from his name be had raised an almost Insupportable burden from his soul. But that was not all nor yet the chief cause of bis elation. * Louisa would learn what he bad done, and she would know that he bad done It for her sake. He would not tell her, but others would. His knowledge of human nature was limited, but It was broad enough to tell him that his praises sung by others would be far more effective than If sung by himself. Thnt she would be please**-] he felt assured, for slit* would understand bow well he loved ber und how more ready he was than any oue else on earth to stand up In her defense. Then, too, sbe would realize that be was not the contemptible coward she bad thought bim and because of wbicb sbe bad spoken of blm and to bim In such barsb terms. Perhaps she would even speak words of praise for his conduct and perhaps— oh. happy thought!—sbe might put her arms about bis neck and kiss bim. Tbat would be a reward indeed, and for such a reward be would be willing to tight tbe whole world. Fond, sweet hope! But how many of our most precious hopes are born only to perisb with tbelr first breath of life! When Sim reached borne, be found the bouse dark and Louisa In bed. He What did it meant west tn and struck a light and prepared to retire. Hla wife was asleep, and be moved about noiselessly ao as not to wake ber. Presently bts eye fell on a scrap of paper lying on the floor. Mechanically be took It ap and glanced at tbe writing It bore. Instantly be sat up and read It eagerly through. Tben, puzzled and mystified, ht read It again and again. These were tbe words tbe paper contained: Mr dmt Louita—Never 1st anybody kaov that you know sm, ind lor God's salt* don't UU t Ht* Ing tool who 1 am. So toon SS po__t I will sss yoa aad ciplaln. Wbat did it mean? CHAPTER VTL ▲ TALK IH THE TWILIGHT. After supper Melvln and old Turner aat out tn tbe yard and talked— tbat Is, Turner asked questions, and Melvln answered tbem. Melvln was In a beiter humor since be was slightly rested and bis hunger had been appeased, and to tl'" hundred questions Turner asked be ,s>turned ready and ■food natured answers, although he did not always return true ones. Finally Melvln found an opportunity to lead ibe conversation, and tben he told abont tbe old man back In the woods and of bis queer experience with blm. For tbe first time that evening Turner burst into a roar of bearty laughter. "Lor,' a-massy," be cried, "don't you know wbo tbat old boss was?" "CertalnlynoCMelvin replied, "now should I know when I am a total stranger bCrer "To be shore. 1 forgot 'bout that Still, It seems like ever lind.v most ort to kuow old Ui Jenkins. Lord, he's been a-llvlsi forever, 'pears lack, as the feller says." "Is be crazy?" "Crazy! Wuo-old Hir "Yes." "Old HI crazy! Wby, snakes an caterpillars, stiauger, wbat you mean by asklu slcb a question as that'.'" "I thought from the way he acted tbat be certainly must be crazy." "Great possums an persimmons! Talk 'bout old HI beln crazy! Vou don't know nothln 'bout that old boss or you wouldn't never ask uo slcb a fool thing as that. Why, old Hi's the smartest man in all these parts. Ho sot on to • jury oncct down at tbe county seat." "That bo?" '.'You bet It are! Yes, slr-ee!" "Wonder wby he behaved so strangely wltb mc. then?" "Why, that's plain enough when you come to flgger It out You jest happened to run ucrost him on one of bis off days." "Off days?" . .... "Yes, one of his off days." "What do you mean by that?" "Don't you know?" "I certainly do not." "Waal, by shucks, you shorely don't know notliiii 'bout the ways an do'u's of folks yere'liouts! What 1 mean by Hi's off day Is that this Is his day for chlllin." "Ah. he bas the chills, does he?" "To be shore. Wby shouldn't he bave'em?"* "1 don't know. I'm sure." "Course, he has the chills, an he sbnkes ever' other day. He was settln out tbar on tbat log a-waltin for his chill to come ou when you seed him." "And that was why he behaved tbe way be dld?" "Of course. Thar hain't many people, I can tell you, wants to be bothered wltb questions when a chill is comin on, an If a feller was to shoot you under them kind of provocations you wouldn't never git no court to bang him." "The court would consider the shooting Justifiable, you think?" "You bet lt would. Lord a-massy, 1 wouldn't nigh kill nobody for nothln else on earth, I guess, but I Jest most know I'd shoot a feller If he come a-plckin an a-naggiu at me with fool questions when my ager was a-workln on me." "You say Mr. Jenkins shakes with a chill every other day?" "To be shore. I said that. Why wouldn't he shake ever* other day?" "It's a regulur part of his life, is It?" "Jest as much a part of his life as eatln an sleepin Is. Yes, sir-ee! Why, say, if anything was to happen to old Hi so that he missed bavin his chili on his reg'lar day 1 reckon he'd feel more lost than if his old woman waa to die. In these parts ager Is a part of a feller's rights on privileges, same as vot- In an holiliu ollice Is." "Indeed?" "You bet your hide." "Does Mr. Jenkins live near this?" "No, not as you mought say right near. lie lives over t'other side of Coou Run river. Hain't been over In that settlement 1 reckon?" "No." "Waal, you won't lose nothin, 1 guess. If you never do go over tbar." '•Why?" "Oh, them folks over thar ain't Jest tbe sort a body keers to bave much to do with. Leastwise I find 'em that a-way." "Are they bad characters?" "No, I don't know as you can put It that a-way exactly, 'cause they're peaceable enough an honest an all tbat They're jest so different from we uns over here." "In wbat way are they different?" "Waal, for one thing they're so doggone Ign'unt Why, say, them folks over tbar hain't got no more edication than a gang of possums, not a blame bit more. Sich Ign'unce Is plumb pitiful shore. 1 alius feel sorry for them tbat hain't got learnln, don't you'"" Melvln looked at tbe old man In opes eyed astonishment and muttered an assent It occurred to blm, however, tbat If tbe people on tbe otber side of Coon Run were any more lacking In learning than Turner was their condition, as far as education goes, was pitiable Indeed. But be was very far from giving utterance to any such thought for already he had learned tbat the average Possum Rldger was a sorely sensitive Individual, wbo was liable to take offense on tbe smallest provocation. Tbere was a silence of two or tarem minutes, and Melvln's thoughts bad drifted back to Beckett's Mill and to tbe little scene tbere tbat day In which he bad been a participant. And ln tbe center of tbat scene tbere was one figure tbat stood out boldly and distinctly from all tbe rest Wbat the others said or wbat tbe others did be did not know or care, but every word uttered by Louisa Banks and ber every movement and every look was as vividly before blm now as It bad been at tbat time. Nor was tbls strange, for to bim she was the only Hying reality tbere. Tbe rest were only so many figures whose trivial deeds and existence were unworthy of a thought He recalled tbe expression on ber face at the moment when her eyes met his, and now It was a wonder to blm how he bad ever managed to hold himself so well In cheek as not to betray even a hint or the great, consuming passion that lilleil bis heart Suddenly bis wandering thoughts were recalled hy Turners who renewed the cotivs'isiitiun liy bpvntng up n new subject "Mr. Melvln." lie said. "I recknh you ain't one of iIumii iluc-'orMil overly nice on flnlcky *'.•• ni Hinp* who are «o dnil blamed lin'iil > i pis.;*1!' thai tIn;, Jest pm I'M*; i s id it11 up ..ti pdgeV" "Why.

You know that's so, I Jedge. from what you've seed of me?" Melvln smiled, but with reckless hardihood replied: "Ob, certainly!" "Waal," Turner went on, "that thar pill peddler 'lower be was Jest bound to stop yere, au stop ho did. But ob. my land, what a bother an a pester he was! Staid most a month, 1 guess, an that whole riidui'iii time he was forever an eternally a-gruuiblin an Gndin fault. Wa'n't never satlsllcd with nothin. The very fust thing he done was to raise a furse 'cause he hod to sleep in the bed with the hired man. an"— "You are not keeping a hired man now, are you?" Melvin asked, a little anxious!**". "No, uot now, I ain't. But, ns I was goin to say, when we tried to humor "Know Sim Banks!" that feller by puttln him fo sleep the next night with three of the children he kicked up a wuss furse than ever. Reckon the blame fool wunted a whole bed to hisself." "And If he was bere now," Melvln said eagerly, "you could give it to him. couldn't you?" "Yes, we could now, since the hired man's gone," Turner answered, and Melvln drew a long breath of relief. "Like enough, though," Turner added, "if we'd give bim u whole bed the next thing he'd been askin for a room all to hisself. 1 wouldn't 'a' put lt a bit a-past him to act jest that miserable unreasonable." "You—could you give him a room all to himself now?" "Waal, practically. Wouldn't be nobody In tbar with blm 'ceptln a couple of the boys." Melvln's face lengthened. "Then he didn't like It." Turner continued, " 'cause he bad to go out to the pump ever' mornin to wasb his face. 'Lowed be ort to bave it fixed so's he could wash right ln the room whar be slept. Ever bear of slcb a crank? But that wa'n't all. No, slr-ee! Next he figgered that be didn't like to use tbe same towel we all used, but wanted one all to hisself. But •***. top of all that foolishness he was so blamed particular about his things. Got mad 'cause mc an the hired man wore some of his clothes an 'cause my old woman got out his watch for tbe children to play with. Yes. sir-ee! That's jest the sort of a unreasouable, finicky blame cuss that feller was, an I'm doggoned glad you ain't nothin like him shore." Wben Turner bad finished, tbere was silence. Melvln had no observation to offer, and he felt tbat tbere was no necessity for bim to say anything. He bad his own opinion, however, of Turner's idens of hospitality, but be was under the Impression that it would be Just as well if be kept tbat opinion to himself. He was sure Turner would not feel any kindlier or more friendly toward blm if be should give utterance to his thoughts. So when after a long pause Melvln finally spoke It was on another and an entirely different subject A little diffidently, as If be knew he was approaching dangerous ground, be said: "I presume, Mr. Turner, you are acquainted with a man named Banks, who lives over at Beckett's Mill?" "Who—Sim Banks?" Turner questioned. "I think so—a tall man with red hair and"- "Ob, Ifs Sim!" Turner interrupted. "It's bound to be him, 'cause tbar ain't no otber Banks tbar." "You know him. then?" "Lord, me know Sim Banks! Wby, whnt a dern fool question! Do you reckon I know myself? Know Sim Banks! Why. Lord a-massy. man, I've knowed lhat chnp ever since be was knee high to a grasshopper. Yes, sir-ee!" "He's married, I believe?" . "To be shore. Yes. Sim's married." "And happy. I prs-sume?" "Happy us some. I reckon." There was n short pause. Then Melvln said: "1 saw Banks and his wife today over at Beckett's Mill. I don't know of course, tbat it Is so, but It appeared te me tbnt they nre n mismatcd pair. Wbat do vou think about It?" Tinner looked at Melvln, squinted Ills eyes and Ki'inncil. •Young feller," Be said, "then* two may bu inlsiuiited for all 1 know, an lliey may not. un If thuy are u**ismatc month, an' here's a letter f ra the doctor tellin' v' all about It, ma'am."* THE COOKBOOK. A cup of butter means sixteen tablespoons. When we measure butter In a cup. we measure it packed solid. One cup of sauce means one cup ot liquid, regardless of the amount ol thickening nnd butter that you use. A novel and daluty way of cooking little new onions is to boil them and serve them on toast, similar to asparagus. Stir all sauces with a wooden spoon until they thicken aud begin to leavi tbe sides of the pan. Add flavoring essences after taking the pot from thu Are. After boiling a ham let it cool In ths water In which tt was cooked. Tlilri helps te make It more tasty, moist and tender. The same rule applies to tongui or corned beef. Sardines broiled ln a chafing dish are nice for Sunday night suppers. Use Just enough of the oil in the box to cover tbe bottom of the dish and keep the fish from sticking. When they are browned on both sides, sprinkle liberally with lemon Juice and serve bet Carried Farther. Not long ago a lady was giving a lecture. Her subject was the human figure and the requirements lu tbe wny of proportion for beauty. She herself was of generous—one may say unwieldy— size, and ber mniinor waa supercilious aud lofty. She wus trying tp demonstrate the relative sizes of the limbs as they really ought to be. "For example." said she, "twice round my thumb"—she held it up— "once round my wrist; twice round my wrist, once round my neck; twice round my neck, once round my waist." Here she paused, nnd a shrill voice from tbe audience exclaimed: "Twice round your waist, once around Hyde park!" Tbe lecturer hastily passed en to another blanch of tbe subject- THROWING THINGS AWA*". Ilovr tlie Gootl HiiUksttfvlfa Dos.:* Cllna tO Old i.isl.-.slisii. ''Always before we move," said Mr. Hilltops, "wo go through everything in the storeroom and cull out and throw away the things tluit we don't wnut. If wo uever moved, I don't kuow but what finally we'd be buried under the accumulation of things which from time to timo we save. "We save tons of newspaper cllppiuga aloue, and we always have a pile of magazines eoutniiiiuu articles tlmt we want to read over aguiu, but never do. We put away old clothes aud dou't know what not of things we've got through with that are af no earthly use to us, hut that we hate to throw away. And how we do hung oa to some of these things! Why, suy, we've got boxes ami trunks containing things that we've saved *n that way that we've been lugging aro'iud for years, paying to have them moved and giving up room for the stoiing of thein, that we never look iato at all. We couldn't tell what wns in some of them without lookiog, but they nre things we sort of hate to throw away, nnd so we keep lugging 'em around. "I don't want to drag In melancholy thoughts in a cheerful conversation, but I find myself wondering sometimes now, tts I grow older, what will become of ail this truck we save up iu this way when we die. It will all be Just lying there, aud those wbo come after us will look at it and wonder what under lhe canopy we saved it for, anil then they'll throw- it away, which I tell Mrs. Hilltops we might just as well do now ouisslvcs and get rid of it. There's nothing lo the whole blessed storeroom that we might not with perfect safety throw right out without ever looking nt it. Oh, of oouear*, that is rather n sweeping assertion, but nevertheless it is substantially true thnt nil that miscellaneous array of boxes nnd bundles there, of odds nnd ends of onsi sort nmi another, we might jnst ns well throw away bodily, and we never'd miss 'era.

A Cnum Where Naval ladris Turrs.il Discipline Into a Joke. Among otlier good stories told by Cyrus Townsend Brady In his "Under Tops'ls ami Tents," published by Scrlb- ners, Is tbls: It Is related that a large number of naval cadets were negligent In following Ihe service In the chapel, which was after tbe ritual of the Episcopal church. Aa incautious officer In charge on Sunday morning made a little address to the church party on the subject, saying he supposed that some of them erred through ignorauce. but If they would observe him carefully and do ns he did—In military parlance, fob low the motions of the commantllug officer—they would not go wrong. Word was passed quletlj through the battn/loo. They marched Into the church. The officer In charge took his place In the front pew, settled himself In his s*>at and calmly blew his nose. Three hundred noses were blown si- inultiincously with a vehemence that was startling. The officer looked around aud blushed violently In great surprise. Three hundred heads "followed lhe -nations of the commanding officer." Six hundred cheeks violently tried to blush, a hind thing to for a midshipman to do, and so on through the service. Tlie man could not stir without Instant Imitation. lie finally confined himself strictly to the prescribed ritual of tbe service, looking neither to the right nor to the left, not daring to raise a finger or breathe out of the ordinary course. This enterprise also wns ii startling success. The cadets received olL..- Instructions later In the day from a furious officer wliu sternly resented their Innocent statements tbat they did oot kuow which was ritual uud which was not nud tbat he had uot Institute;' tbem tlmt blowing his nose stood on a different plane from saying his prayers'. It was a huge joke everywhere. 0. C. RICHARDS & CO. Dear Sirs,—A few days ago I was taken with a severe pain and contrite tion of the cords of my leg, and laid to be taken home in a rig.

Every mother is naturally solicitous as to tho health of her children, but not everyone treats their little troubles in the right way. The so-called soothing remedies are still used altogether too much, although physicians have preached against them for many years. The fact lhat they put children to sleep is no sign that ths.y are helpful. On the contrary, soothing drugs are dangerous und distinctly harmful. At the Slightest sign of ill-health or dis- ordeis, give tho little ones Baby's Own Tablets. The medicine is purely vegetable, and is guaranteed to contain no opiate or poisonous soothing stuff. For indigestion, Bour stomach, colic, constipation, simple fevers, diarrhoea, tho irritation accompanying the cutting of teeth, there can bo no better, no safer remedy than this. Baby's Own Tablets are a sweet, pleasant little tablet which any child will take readily, and dissolv.tl in water, may be given with al*solute safety to the youngest infant. Mothers who have used these tablets cheerfully testify to the benefit their little ones have derivod from I lii-iii Mrs. K. L. MeFarlane, Bristol, Que., says : " In my estimation Baby's Own Tablets have no equal as a liH-dicine for little ones. In cases of children teething I would not be without them on any account, as they keep my baby healthy and happy." Druggists keep them, but if you cannot find them conv>r*niently, send 25 cents direct to us and we will forward a box by mail prepaid. The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont.

Two young men, employed in a morning pnper in a large city, wero detailed ono day to call upon the resilient Chinamen and "Interview" them respecting some immigration measure then pending in Congress. One of the two reporters wus a beginner, and tho other un experienced tuan,, naturally assumed tho management of thc assignment. "Billiugs," he said, after they had invaded several laundries without any important results, "here is a tea store. 1 wish you would go in and talk with the proprietor. I want to know what ho thinks about Chinamen voting. I'll go and pull off an interview with tho man who runs this cigar-shop next door. Remember to uso the very simplest English at your conimnnd."

To go to India Snd not see tbe wonderful Taj Mahal nt Agra would bo as gieat a sacrilege us going to E<;ypt and missing (he pyramids. Agru is u small place about midway on a Hue drawn from Calcutta to Bombay. Thu English oilicers wbo have to spend the summer there lis lu bed all day, with coolies to fun them and pull the '*punkn." Therefore I was constrained to do my sightseeing at night it was the time of the full moou, which in India means a grand illumination, a light excellent by which to read. After a three mile drive over an excellent macadamised rood my "gharri- wallah" turned into a large courtyard, which wins suiTouudcd with temples built of red sandstone. These temples would be first class wonders anywhere else, but anxious to see the "pearl of the orient" I started up the steps and through tht great red doorway, ouly to stop iu amazement at tho inner doorway at my first view of the Taj Mahal. The moonlight struck full on its pearly dome and threw into violent relief the slim minarets at iti cor-MM. In front was the water in the score of fountains, giving forth its own rellectiont of the beautiful marble masterpiece, and all around the somber, deate tropical folitsc for a setting. The harmony of the proportions makes the Taj Muliul look small. Yet lt took 20,000 workmen twenty years to complete It, and it cost about "* 10,000,000. Standing In its superb doorway I found it would take seven men placed one upon the other to reach the top of this doorway. There are no windows—only mar veloiiR (screens cut in the forms of Intertwining vines and flowers and out of immense marble slabs. Even in the center, whore lhe great sarcophagi lie in which the builder and his wife are resting, the decorations nre of marble inlaid with precious stones. The inscriptions are of black marble inlaid ou white. And the mooulight obliterated the grain and the seams in Ibe mnrble with its sheen, and It was as though this monument to t faithful wife was one piece of dazzling whiteness. Though centuries have passed its perfection is as frrnusl at this time aa when first built. Even under the sunlight tht next slay. when it was not so much a thing ethereal, no signs of decay were appureut. It ss*s*ms that this tribute of tin* goodness of a great Inslian monarch to his loving wife will stand for ages, telling how one Hiniloo hail been faithful to his lore and had raised her up to s pedestal above him in a country, where womankind is but a slave.* STREET SIGNS IN MOSCOW.

KI'ITOHIAI. -"KOl'I-INUS. One property sold and another ..starting up Is this week's record. Once more the knocker steps in and breaks off a deal, and one that meant much for the camp. Mephisto's hot- , test corner is none too severe a punishment for these parasites of the ; .mining camps. The Privy Council of the Empire has confirmed the constitutionality of the Manitoba prohibition law,clearly , defining the right of the provinces to •enact laws affecting local issues. ' The decision given lets the Ottawa government out of an awkward corner, and it has made thc Manitoba legislators wish the verdict had been otherwise. It remains to be seen whether the law will be enforced in it* entirety. Premier Dunsmuir has more trou- . bin on his hands and one that will .cause him to lose the last vestige of respect from the working classes. Through his manager, he started to , cut wages at his coal mines at Alexandra and a strike has been declared in consequence, Why, the douce, .can't Dunsmuir use his men like manager Robins in Nanaimo. Respect begets respect and confidence induces confidence. To liold a fighting chance in federal , politics the Conservative party must .formulate a new policy. The rank and file realize the corpse-like condi- , tion of the party and are praying for , another Sir John Macdonald, Ex- .mayor Andrews, of Winnipeg, has .drafted what many believe to be a winning platform, constructed upon popular lines, and bos urged R. L. Borden, the Dominion leader of the i Conservatives, to adopt it. The chief plank is government ownership. Tbat idea was first advanced by the Independents, then appropriated by ,*he Liberals, and now is liable to be .absorbed by the Conservatives. All hands being so agreeable, government ownership should prevail in , Canada, to the exclusion of all private monopolies. .Socialists are much interested in the platform which Ex mayor An- .drews of Winnipeg urges the Con servativo party to adopt, because it , contains three cardinal planks of their own movement. Plank No. 1 has for its ultimate aim the govern - ment ownership of all public utilities; No. 2 seeks the abolition ofthe ini- . quitous spoils system and thc placing •f the civil service on a basis of competitive examination and merit; and No 3, direct legislation by the initially-* and referendum, Mr. Andrews concludes his letter to the Conservative leader with these significant -words: "If you do bat have courage , to advocate these not new but sound principles, you will be surprised how gladly they will be welcomed by the j great mass of the people. Men,young and old, want to belong to a party of consistency, of honor, of progress, whose principles are easily understood and do not consist of mere Bounding phrases. They want a ;-reason for their faith; substance, not shadows, for their hope." .Socialists ...cannot be condemned for their belief in the early national recognition of their principles, as all shades of poli {.tical boosters aro advocating them But while the Conservatives arc at it wby don't they purloin the name ol , the sSoclalist8 along with their plat .form ? Or. better still. let them ste- over the boundary and become Idcn Rifled with the new party holus bolus. DRILL POINTS. Subscribe for The Drill. Sheriff Tuck, Nelson, was here on Friday.
