With all due respect to geniuses, great souls and tlm whole company of heroes, something ought to be said for the miiltiLudo of those unknown souls who make, possible; 7 mean the people who appreciate them. These form the pedestal upon which heroes stand, furnish the. light for their tnreh, ami are to them the breath of their undying fame. Would Goethe, have been great without the man who found him great. Would Soiomon or Soei'ates have, been dictators of the world's wisdom without the nameless many who could understand, if not all their wisdom, at leant, that they were wise? * What would ("aepar or Charlemagne have, boon without the huzzas of their eonlempoi-iiries and the interested eyes of the thousands who read of their exploits? In due reference 'we may ask, would the character of Jesus k-i dominate the world unless the souls of the obscure many had, in a measure, appreciated him? The compliment of the great man is the great commons. "To appreciate a work of genius," said Poe, ''is to possess all the genius by wliich the work was produced." Perhaps Chateaubriand stales the case better: "Genius creates, taste preserves. Taste is the. good sense of genius. Without taste, genius is only a sublime madness." Genius in the one is useless nitii- out tasto in the. many. In the Far West An English actor was a. member of a company snow-hound in thc Sierras while en route, from California bo the east. Before their brain was pulled out of the drifts they had been reduced to' eating the coarse fare of the railroad laborers, and got little, enough of that. So that the.y all liad a magnificent hunger ou when the, train reached a small station at which there was a res tan rant, and the. Englishman was this first one to find a seat at the table. "Bring me in a hurry," he said to the landlord, a, burly Western man, "a, porterhouse si oak, .same deviled kidneys, a brace of chops, plenty of vegetables and two bottles of Hass' bitter hecr. The. laudloid stuck his head out of tlm dinning room door, and yelled to somebody in tlie rear apartment: "Say, Bill, 1.-II the hand to play 'Bub!

Cigars In his experiences In getting after the tobacco smugglers Donohue, a recently deceased member of the customs service at New York, had a number of narrow escapes from death. One, which was par tic ui airy dangor- oub and was an oxcelleut example of the man's fearlessness, occurred in 1882. Thero was one ship plying between Cuba and New York wjhica Donohue suspected. Ono day It arrived on a regular trip a.nd tlie detective boarded her. The customs man knew every place on a ship whero contraband stuff could be hidden, ibut after a thorough search, he found nothing. .But Donohue was sure that there were 100,000 cigars on that vessel and he was determined to locate them. Finally he noticed that although th������ firemen were free to go ashore, many of .them were still on the ship, apparently enjoying his discomfiture. Then Donohue had an idea. He procured a lantern and a ��������� hammer and made his way tp the boiler-room, tapping each boiler with the hammeiv One sounded differently rrom the rest and he ordered > the circular cover, about the size of an ordinary can- hole, removed. There was a moment's hesitation, but the ordor was fulfilled and Donohue went down ln the big Iron cavern. There heaped at one side he found th* 100,000 cigars. But whllo he was bo- low some one dapped down the iron cover and the Inspector was trapped. He yelled and pounded, but all ia vain. Then Ms lantern went oui The detective remained there for soveral hours until a watchman, hearing the hammering, released him. WESTERN - - HOTELS.

It is feared in some quarters that Japan will some day take British Columbia. Japan is almost master of the Pacific ocean, and is looking for another place of settlement. As the Kocky mountains make an ideal barrier, British Columbia will be an ideal place for the Japs provided they can get it. In the olden days tho Jewish priests were in the habit of burning animals on the altar as a peace offering to God. The priests were also wise in those days. They would keep tho choice parts of the animals for their own tables and burn the inferior parts upon the altar. This no doubt pleased God just as much, and gave the priests a chance to enjoy porterhouse steaks at tho expense of the congregation. Increases Rapidly An excellent index to the prosperity of the country is the amount of customs revenue. Increases denotes health and decrease indicates decay. The customs department of Canada had been administered for years in ��������� a slip shod manner. Business efficiency'was sadly lacking. Officers became careless and tho 'country suffered. But the change of government on September 21, 1911, swept out the old regime and tlio appointment of the Hon. Dr. Reid as the now minister introduced a new era. It was not long before leaks were plugged and officers of the service feeling that circumstances had changed becamo more earnest and active. Dismissals were made.and while the opponents of the new minister endeavored to introduce the plea of wrongful dismissal it was found that in all cases the country's interest wore placed before party. But the effect of real business methods was soon apparent, and the Rip Van Winkles wero awakened. Tho real test is found in the unprecedented increase for the first six months of the present fiscal year. Month by month the figures piled up, and if the proportionate increase is maintained the increaso will soar past the thirty million mark before the end of the year is reached. Moro than that. Figures just issued show that the increase Beauty's Enemy Miss Bille Burke, the noted actress, is writing a serii-s of letters in several of the Canadian dailies. Jn one recently she. dealt with the use of.liquor by women. She said: "Just one first word. Liquor not only ruins beauty, but it kills respect. ''The other evening iu one of the splendid restaurants of New York I saw a number of young girls, noiio over e-igiil.i'i'n or twenty, having what they thought was a glorious time. There wen! six- girls and six men somewhat older than themselves, and the girls had been drinking wino until their faces were Hushed, their voices loud and strident, and their manner most noticeable. ITow I wanted to whisper to those thoughtless maids, that if any of them wished to stand well with any one of the men present sho had better make soinc excuse and go home immediately. "No man wants to see the woman for whom he cares even slightly under the influence of drink, and tho man who will encourage a girl to take a drink of liquor does not care what happens of her. She is nothing to him. "Nothing will steal away your good looks as will intoxicating liquor. I have a friend who is over fifty, and vvho^ when asked the other day how she retained her good looks, her youthful contours and expression, answered, 'In the first place, I never touch spin tous liquor.' Not one woman in the crowd about her could vie with her in appearance, and not one woman in the crowd who did not think it necessary to occasionally at least sip a glass of wine. It was an object lesson that lam sure they will remember. "Just ono last word���������Liquor m:iy oxhiliarato for the moment, New Life Preserver.

Some as- ptre to heights of poetry or art yet untoucihed, some aspire to become even more oratDricai than the incomparable Oicero; one man opined that if ho could write the songs of a nation he didn't give a Teddy bear who made the laws.

Ho Is enthusiasts and consistent in this desire. Years ago he was dubbed "Good Roads" Campbell.

There was also a touch of beauty to the scene. The lights from tjie car shining on either side of the agile animal made a picture that an artist would have travelled over oceans and continents to have seen. And as for danger. Had the deer stumbled and fallen, there would have been an overturned automobile and probably two motorists seriously injured.

Gibson and James Mc- Ardle returned to the city from Christina lake last Friday in Mr. Gibson's automobile. When a short distance this side of Gilpin the gentlemen espied a big buck deer leisurely trotting in the middle of the road a quarter of a mile ahead of the car. Mr. Gibson desired a close inspection of tlio animal, and turned on all tho reserve power in his machine. In a few seconds the car was within two or three feet of the deer. Then the deer got a whiff of the gasoline odor, and he realized tliat it was time to quicken bis pace, Ahead for two miles was a straight and smooth road, with no break in the high barb-wire fence that encloses the highway. The deer evidentally knew that it would bo a race for life, and the speed ho developed has never been equalled on a race track. Ho kept this up for two miles; and all this time the car was a few feet behind him. It was an even race���������the deer was unable to gain on the car, and the car could not run down the animal. At tho ond of the two miles there was a break in tho fence, and the deer- bid adieu to his pursuers, and vanished in the darkness. Mr. Gibson described the race as Manager MacAstocker of the local play house takes great pleasure in announcing to the people of Greenwood and vicinity that be has succeeded in securing Fred Raymond's great comedy success "The Missouri Girl" for date of Monday, October 21 here.

P. R. ollicial remarked recently tbat he felt justilicd in saying that the two new boats would be the safest vessels afloat. "Iu preparing the plans of the new Empresses," he remarked, "wo took particular care to make provision for all exigencies, and as a result the boats aro as near to being unsinkable as can bo built. The new Empresses are being built with double bottoms and watertight compartments, the latter being numerous and closely placed. .-Ordinarily, if the ship is designed' to float witli only two comparfcnients flooded, a sufficient margin of safety is thought to havo been allowed, but in the cases of of tho ne!
