The merchants of a town should combine to keep every foreign ad. out of their home paper by buying all the space the editor has to spare and utilize it for their own good.

The poor editor was dying: but when the doctor placed his ear to the patient's heart and muttered sadly. "Poor fellow, circulation almost gone," the editor raised himself and gasped: "'Tis false, we have the largest circulation of any paper in the county!" then sank back upon the pillow with a triumphant smile upon his face. He. was consistent to the last��lying about his circulation. Western Float The time was eight o'clock in the evening, the place was one of the quiet, respectable streets in one of our north suburbs; and as P. C. 104 X.Y.Z. was standing moodily at the corner, a front door was opened hurriedly and a man came flying out into the middle of the road. His coat was half torn off his back, his collar and tie were missing, and blood was streaming from his nose. Struggling to his feet with some difficulty he stood swaying in front of the house, shaking his fist and shouting the while: "The liar! The Jezebel! The she-devil!" The Constable hurried up, _. Now then, now then!" he exclaimed roughly, "what's all this about?" "The liar! The Jezebel! The she-devil!" gasped the wounded warrior. "She��she��told me her husband��was in��Newcastle!" The following story is credited to Senator Shaforth, told while discussing the currency bill and its misreading: The superintendent of a Sunday school, repeated to tbe children the text, "Arise and take the young child and flee into Egypt." Then the superintendent showed a large picture illustrating this text in bright colors. "Isn't the picture fine?" heeaid. Here is the mother. Here is the young child. . There's Egypt in the distance. Isn't it fine?" Tbe children, however, looked dissappointed, and finally a little boy piped out: "Teacher, where's the flea?" A ten-year-old Philadelphian was asked by his Sunday school teacher to write all he knew about King Soloman, and to baud in his paper the next Sunday. As per instructions, the lad submitted the following: King Soloman was a great and wise man. He had one hundred wives. After that he didn't believe in God. The creamery at Molson opened last week.

A Babine Indian was arrested in I Hazelton for raising a cheque from $1 to $100. The Indians up the Skeena are becoming educated in the wrong direction. During the past week several prospective buyers have visited the Mara district. The opportunity with comparison with conditions in other parts of the valley is good tbis season, the crops in this district having suffered comparatively little from the hot dry spell of weather which has prevailed for the last few weeks. Land buyers are gradually awakening to the fact that the Mara Grinwood districts offer exceptional advantages, and good values. 'Some cOnsiernation was caused at Sea Otter Cove, near Bella Coola, tbe other day by a cougar attacking the 10 year old son of Mr. Fred- erickson. The monster came out of the bush on to tbe beech and sprang at the boy, echo in the ensuing struggle was scratched and mauled rather badly, but was, however, saved from further harm by tbe appearance of several persons attracted to the scene by the cries. Tbe cougar vanished for a time, bnt reappeared some hours later, staying in the vicinity of Mr. Fred- erickson's house for quite a long while��probably in expectation of some youthful and easy prey. There is a growing alarm in the neighborhood and residents are taking precautionary measures for the protection of the children. Do unto your dog as you would have him do to you. ��;'��" In Metropolitan Society Mrs. Graiton-Kloze' gave a dance last week for her daughter, Flippie.

Man Who Observed Nature Once a good and g6ntie man wrote to a friend all the things he noticed day by day about birds, animals and plants. He wrote about them carefully; and he at last had a vast store of information about all kinds of things that few people in his time had noticed as well as things that everybody did know. So a book was made of them and it became one of the famous books of the world. It was written for love, and it made people who read it love, the things the writer saw and thought. ...

GREENWOOD, AUGUST 13, 1914. ._ T" Thinking Themes Mr. T. Jefferson and others briefly listed the inalienable human rights as three; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. There iB a fourth; the right to make one's own mistakes. Nowhere is the deep wisdom and justice of the Creator more apparent than in his so arranging the Universe that a man can do his own sinning. We cannot understand this. We are so dazzled by ideals that we can nofe sea that the supreme privilege of freedom is freedom to do wrong. Take that away, and a man becomes non-moral. Virtue is of account only in one who might have chosen vice. We learn more by our mistakes than by any other means. Let a man always succeed and he will remain a child, ignorant, egotistic, unsympathetic, and cruel. It is because the king can do no wrong that the king is usually a poor little soul. Our growth, character, enjoyment of life come from our mistakes. A child that is not permitted to fall will never learn to walk; for walking is a succession of falls. In our eagerness to make children successful we rob them of the very foundation of success, which is failure; for the truest success iB what is left after ft hundred failures. We are so anxious to have them happy that we take from them the key to happiness which is the privilege of making themselves and others miserable. I want the right to burn my own fingers, bump my own head, eat indigestible food, and do the whole range of silly and senseless things. Only when I am at perfect liberty to scar, scratoh; smash and ruin my life, only then am I capable of triumph, power and goodness. It is important to be trained in morality; it is still more important to be trained in biberty.�� Br. Crane. * For politeness this little girl should take first prize. A school director was calling on a prominent woman not long ago on school business aud as the interview was at an end he encountered her little girl playing in tho hall. She rose politely and opened tho door for him. "Thank you," said he. "I am sorry feo give you so much trou ble.' Georgie��I met our new preacher on the way tor Sunday school, maw, an' he asked me if I ever played marbles on Sunday. Mother��And what did you say? Georgie��I said, "Get thee behind me, Satan!" an' then I beat ife. Shoeing Geese The frozen roads of Illinois are very hard on the fowls which are being raised in that part of the country for shipment to New York for celebrating the great Jewish feasts and holidays. Formerly the geesp and ducks suffered from sore and tender feet. One feeder devised a leather shoe to overcome the trouble, but ajlocal genius improved upon this plan. The geese are driven through tar, warm enough to be soft, and [then compelled to wallc over loose sand. Thus they automatically provide themselves with '-shoes" that enable them to walk iu comfort over rough frozen roads. These fowl are bought iu large numbers in tho Southern States every Fall and are then shipped feo the corn belt for fattening. One farmer last fall had over ten thousand at one time. Tho feed consists mostly of shelled corn, though some feeders add cooked cereals? and oil meal. Special barns are erected for their housing. The geese wearing their novel shoes are driven to and from the trains in large flocks. Bones Displace Amber There has lately been a boom in the production of albatross wing boneB owing to the increased exploration in the south polar region. These bones are used in place of amber in pipes and cigarette holders and as such are valued very highly. They are dressed and polished and then mounted with silver, often for connection between fehe stem or bit and fehe wood of fehe pipe. Ife is rare, however, thafe pieces large enough for whole stems or holders are brought into the market and the preference of all smokers seems to be towards small mouthpiece of the precious bone. The editor ol a Kansas paper says that he picked up a rifle recently and started up the street to deliver the weapon to its owner. The delinquent subscribers got it into their heads that he waB on the i war path, and everybody he met insisted on paying all he owed. One man wiped out a debt of ten years standing. On returning to the office he found a load of hay, fifteen bushels of corn, ten bushels of potatoes, ft load of wood and a barrel of turnips. A farmer, returning home late afe night, saw a light moving about the farmyard. When he investigated he found a neighbor's farmhand carrying a lantern. "What are you doing here?" demanded the farmer. "Courtin', sir." Courtin'? Courtin' with a lantern? You stupid, I never used a lantern when I went courfein'!" ''No, sir," replied the farmhand as he moved off, "we can all see you didn't." Professor (in geology)�� "The geologist thinks nothing of a thousand years." Sophomore��"Great gnnBl And I loaned a geologist ten dollars yeeterday!"��Pennsylvania Punch Bowl. He��I wonder what tho meaning of that picture is? The youth and the maiden are in a tender attitude. She��Oh, don't you see? Ho has just asked her to marry him. How sweet. What does fehe artist call the picture? He (looking about) ��Oh. I see, it's written on the card at fehe bottom "Sold." Prayer of the Horse To Thee, my Master, I make my prayer: Feed me and take care of me. Do nofe jerk "io reins, do not whip me when going up hill. Never strike, beat or kick me, when I fail to understand what you want of me. Watch me, and | if I refuse to do your bidding, see if there is not something wrong with my harness. Do nofe give me feoo heavy loads; never hitch me where water will drip on me. Keep me well shod. Examine my teeth when I fail to eat: I may have an ulcerated tooth. That, you know, is very painful. I am unable to tell you in words when I am sick; so watch me and I will try to tell you by signs. Pet me sometimes; I enjoy ife and will learn to love you. Protect mo in summer from the hot sun. Keep a blanket on me in winter weather, and never put a frosty bit in my mouth, but hold ife in your hands a moment first. I carry you, pull you, wait patiently for you for long hours, day or night, I cannot; tell you when I am thisrfey; give me clean, cool Avater often in hot weather. Finally, Avhen my strength is gone, instead of turning me over to a human brute, to be tortured and starved, take my life in the easiest and quickest way, and your God will reward in this life and in heaven. Amen. In the West Out where the haudclasp's a.'little stronger, Out where a smile dwells a little longer, That's where the West begins; Out where the sun is a little brighter, Where the snow that falls are a trifle whiter, Where the bonds of home are a wee bit tighter, That's where the West begins. Out where the skies are a trifle bluer, Out where friendship's a little truer, That's where the West begins; Out where a fresher breeze is blowing, Where there's laughter in every streamlet flowing, Where there's more ot reaping and less of sowing�� That's where the West begins. Out where the world is in the making Where fewer hearts > with despair are aching�� That's where the West begins; Where there's more of singing and less sighing, Where there's more of giving and less of buying, And a man makes friends without half trying�� That's where the West begins. ��Arthur Chapman. Here are two advertisements, of which tbe authors Avere not at all prondAvhen fehey grasped their inner significance. The first ran like this:�� DONT GO ELSEWHERE TO BE CHEATED COME IN HERE. And the second: WEAR OUR SUITS AND YOU'LL HAVE A FIT Two hours later the mountineer returned. The jug was gone! "Look here, Jim," he cried to the proprietor of the store, "do you know Avhafe became of that jug of mine?" "Sure,"' rejoined the proprietor, "Jake Harwell came along wifeh the six of hearts and took ife." SPRING SUITS MADE TO YOUR MEASURE Now is the Time to Order Your NEW SUIT We Have Them in All The Latest Weaves And Colors SATISFACTION GUARANTEED The stage-drivers in Yellowstone Park are bothered considerably by the foolish questions asked by their passengers, and often resort to satirical answers. Once a lady tourist who seemed deeply interested in the hot springs, inquired: "Driver, do these spring freeze over in winter?" "Oh yes, yes; a lady was skating here lasfe Avinter and broke through and got her foot scalded." Surmounting the Difficulty An undersized yokel approached a sergeant in the barrack-yard of one of our military depots: "I want to join the army," he said. The sergeant looked him up and down, and replied, "You cannot join the Army my lad; you're too small." "Too small!" said the jouth What about that little fellow over there?" But he is an officer." "Oh, is he?" exclaimed Chawbacon. "Well, I'm nofe particular; I'll just join the officers. Ready for Release. She was a lady visitor feo fehe prison, kindly and well meaning, and as she chatted with a burglar who had been sentenced to six months imprisonment, she thought she detected signs of reform in him. "And now," said she, "have you any plans for the future on the expiration of your sentence?" "Oh, yes ma'am!" said he hopefully. "I've gofc the plans of two banks and a postoffice."��Penny Pictorial.

A man was induced to attend a spiritualist meeting although he said it was all humbug. A friend introduced him feo the president, who begged the visitor to ask some question of the medium. ''Ask him where my father is now." After the usual proceedings the president said, " The medium has answered that your father is in Cadiz." "Well," said the visitor, "he has just made a mistake/ because my father died { three years. agoi" ^ "lam very sorry" replied the president, "I will ask the medium again."

So the employer determined to expostulate with the offender personally, arrived early one morning and waited for him. "I'll teach him a lesson today!" the master growled to the manager.

His wife and daughters begin to resemble the lilies. 'They neither toil nor spin but Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of them. Next comes an auto. Then, of course, a new house. The old one was ample. There is no increase of family but without a grander mansion how is the world to know that the man has made a fortune? So architects and painters and decorators in due time install the household in a palace fit for a duke and they take their rank among ' 'the upper ten." All the humble walks of life are abandoned, old friends are dropped, the hearts once often cheered, and the poor helped, look no longer for their coming. The cloak of selfishness is tightly drawn and the heart closed to the appeals for charity. How true, when blessings come in the way of great prosperity, they are wholly apx propriated for self, and the good they were intended to do never speed on missions of mercy, but are tightly held, dwarfed and tharted altogether and they are not known to have become rich by the many blessings bestowed or good done, but only by an outward dazzling show that a few years will obliterate. * * * AN ALLOWANCE FOR CHILDREN If children have no money of their own how can they learn to manage it? Begin when they are very young and teach them gradually the use of money by arranging household work so they can earn a few pennies, and perhaps by giving moneyed rewards for special excellence in school. Whenever children are given money let them understand it is because they have earned it by good behavior, Money should not be doled out to a child as if it were to a beggar. It has a right to its allowance; and children that are early taught that they must furnish equivalent of money received learn the value of money and grow up to be respected because they are relf-respecting. The plan we have suggested is followed in many families and each child is paid a fixed'sum for certain duties. While the sums earned by smaller children are compelled to pay out certain small necessary expenses from them, and to contribute a nickel of the earnings to the church contribution box each Sunday. As soon as they have a dollar saved they are urged to put it in the bank, unless it is near a birthday or the holidays, when extraordinary expenditures are in order. In one family the writer remembers it is the rule of the mother to make a liberal allowance of paper, pencils and other sundries for school and if any of these articles are wasted or used up before a certain time the child in fault is compelled to purchase others from her own money, 'a very definite and usually effective way of reaching carelessness. By gradually becoming used to spending money, and learning by "paying" the suffering and folly of carelessness, the child grows to learn values, and when she arrives at an age suitable may use an allowance given her wisely and with proper discretion, ADAMS Feed Store 00-00000000000000000000000 ASSAYBR E.

C, M1MGNEWS | oooooooooooooooooooooooooo In the general revival of mining which is in evidence throughout the Kootenay and Boundary there is no section which is this year attracting more attention than Gloucester camp, about 50 miles up the North Fork of the Kettle'river from Grand ForkB. The principal re��Bon for this is the wonderful showing of the Union mine located there. ThiB property was located some years ago. following which the owners performed their annual assessments and did whateve whatever development �� their resources would permit. LaBt yeaa as the result of striking a rich body of gold bearing ore at the surface the Union was added to the list of shipping mineB of the Boundary district. The result was so satisfactory that operations were enlarged and between 20 and 30 tonB of ore, averaging $60 per ton, is being taken out daily by glory- holing. The profit realized is being used to develop the property with which object in view a tunnel is now being driven [some distance below the open workings with satis factory indications. The ore from the Union is being hauled by wagon 26 mileB to Lynch creek, the present end of steel of what is known locally as the North Fork line to the Canadian Pacific railway, and from there Bhipped to Granby smelter. Between 100 and 150 head of horses and -a large number of men are engaged in hauling supplies into Gloucester camp and hauling out the Union ore. This method of transportation makes mining .expensive and re- duces the profit on ore Bent to the smelter, bo that it is not surprising that there is a demand for the extension of the North Fork railway from Lynch creek to Gloucester. "With a view to securing specific information regarding the camp and its possibilities for it? guidance in connection with the question of the extension of ^the railway to Gloucester, the provincial government recently sent A. G. Larson, the well known mining engineer, to make a thorough inspection of the district. In the meantime the excellent results being achieved by the Union has stimulated activity on most of the other properties of the camp, so that Gloucester is at present a busy place. j During the past few weeks the camp has been visited by a large number of mining men and others at variouB times, including R. H. Stewart, general ^manager of the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company, and others of that company's officials; W. O. Miller, divisional superindent of the C.P.R., and others.��Nelson News.

With a railway up tbe north fork, the cost of freight would probably be reduced by at least $10 per ton, and neighboring properties which are in a promising state of development would be enabled to enter the shipping list.
