Jefferson and others\nbriefly listed the inalienable human\nrights as three; life, liberty and the\npursuit of happiness.\nThere iB a fourth; the right to\nmake one's own mistakes.\nNowhere is the deep wisdom and\njustice of the Creator more apparent than in his so arranging the\nUniverse that a man can do his\nown sinning. We cannot understand this. We are so dazzled by\nideals that we can nofe sea that the\nsupreme privilege of freedom is\nfreedom to do wrong. Take that\naway, and a man becomes non-moral. Virtue is of account only in\none who might have chosen vice.\nWe learn more by our mistakes\nthan by any other means. Let a\nman always succeed and he will remain a child, ignorant, egotistic,\nunsympathetic, and cruel. It is\nbecause the king can do no wrong\nthat the king is usually a poor little soul.\nOur growth, character, enjoyment of life come from our mistakes. A child that is not permitted to fall will never learn to walk;\nfor walking is a succession of falls.\nIn our eagerness to make children\nsuccessful we rob them of the very\nfoundation of success, which is failure; for the truest success iB what\nis left after ft hundred failures. We\nare so anxious to have them happy\nthat we take from them the key to\nhappiness which is the privilege of\nmaking themselves and others miserable.\nI want the right to burn my own\nfingers, bump my own head, eat indigestible food, and do the whole\nrange of silly and senseless things.\nOnly when I am at perfect liberty\nto scar, scratoh; smash and ruin\nmy life, only then am I capable of\ntriumph, power and goodness.\nIt is important to be trained in\nmorality; it is still more important\nto be trained in biberty.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Br.\nCrane. *\nFor politeness this little girl\nshould take first prize.\nA school director was calling on\na prominent woman not long ago\non school business aud as the interview was at an end he encountered\nher little girl playing in tho hall.\nShe rose politely and opened tho\ndoor for him.\n\"Thank you,\" said he. \"I am\nsorry feo give you so much trou ble.'\nGeorgie\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdI met our new preacher\non the way tor Sunday school,\nmaw, an' he asked me if I ever\nplayed marbles on Sunday.\nMother\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdAnd what did you say?\nGeorgie\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdI said, \"Get thee behind me, Satan!\" an' then I beat\nife.\nShoeing Geese\nThe frozen roads of Illinois are\nvery hard on the fowls which are\nbeing raised in that part of the\ncountry for shipment to New York\nfor celebrating the great Jewish\nfeasts and holidays.\nFormerly the geesp and ducks\nsuffered from sore and tender feet.\nOne feeder devised a leather shoe\nto overcome the trouble, but ajlocal\ngenius improved upon this plan.\nThe geese are driven through tar,\nwarm enough to be soft, and [then\ncompelled to wallc over loose sand.\nThus they automatically provide\nthemselves with '-shoes\" that enable them to walk iu comfort over\nrough frozen roads.\nThese fowl are bought iu large\nnumbers in tho Southern States\nevery Fall and are then shipped feo\nthe corn belt for fattening. One\nfarmer last fall had over ten thousand at one time.\nTho feed consists mostly of shelled corn, though some feeders add\ncooked cereals? and oil meal. Special barns are erected for their\nhousing. The geese wearing their\nnovel shoes are driven to and from\nthe trains in large flocks.\nBones Displace Amber\nThere has lately been a boom in\nthe production of albatross wing\nboneB owing to the increased exploration in the south polar region.\nThese bones are used in place of\namber in pipes and cigarette holders and as such are valued very\nhighly. They are dressed and polished and then mounted with silver, often for connection between\nfehe stem or bit and fehe wood of fehe\npipe.

When not so\npaid it is $2.50 a year.\nBECOMING RICH.\nToo often the fact that a man is growing rich is first\nannounced to his neighbor by a wider spread and a finer\nshow in his style of living. His wife and daughters begin\nto resemble the lilies. 'They neither toil nor spin but Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of them.\nNext comes an auto. Then, of course, a new house. The\nold one was ample. There is no increase of family but\nwithout a grander mansion how is the world to know that\nthe man has made a fortune? So architects and painters\nand decorators in due time install the household in a palace\nfit for a duke and they take their rank among ' 'the upper\nten.\" All the humble walks of life are abandoned, old\nfriends are dropped, the hearts once often cheered, and\nthe poor helped, look no longer for their coming. The\ncloak of selfishness is tightly drawn and the heart closed\nto the appeals for charity. How true, when blessings\ncome in the way of great prosperity, they are wholly apx\npropriated for self, and the good they were intended to do\nnever speed on missions of mercy, but are tightly held,\ndwarfed and tharted altogether and they are not known\nto have become rich by the many blessings bestowed\nor good done, but only by an outward dazzling show\nthat a few years will obliterate.\n* * *\nAN ALLOWANCE FOR CHILDREN\nIf children have no money of their own how can they learn\nto manage it? Begin when they are very young and teach\nthem gradually the use of money by arranging household\nwork so they can earn a few pennies, and perhaps by giving moneyed rewards for special excellence in school.\nWhenever children are given money let them understand\nit is because they have earned it by good behavior, Money\nshould not be doled out to a child as if it were to a beggar.\nIt has a right to its allowance; and children that are early\ntaught 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\nsuggested is followed in many families and each child is\npaid a fixed'sum for certain duties. While the sums earned by smaller children are compelled to pay out certain\nsmall necessary expenses from them, and to contribute a\nnickel of the earnings to the church contribution box each\nSunday. As soon as they have a dollar saved they are\nurged to put it in the bank, unless it is near a birthday or\nthe holidays, when extraordinary expenditures are in order.\nIn one family the writer remembers it is the rule of the\nmother to make a liberal allowance of paper, pencils and\nother sundries for school and if any of these articles are\nwasted or used up before a certain time the child in fault\nis compelled to purchase others from her own money, 'a\nvery definite and usually effective way of reaching carelessness. By gradually becoming used to spending money,\nand 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\nwisely and with proper discretion,\nADAMS\nFeed Store\n00-00000000000000000000000\nASSAYBR\nE.

C, M1MGNEWS |\noooooooooooooooooooooooooo\nIn the general revival of mining\nwhich is in evidence throughout\nthe Kootenay and Boundary there\nis no section which is this year attracting more attention than Gloucester camp, about 50 miles up the\nNorth Fork of the Kettle'river\nfrom Grand ForkB. The principal\nre\ufffd\ufffdBon for this is the wonderful\nshowing of the Union mine located\nthere. ThiB property was located\nsome years ago. following which\nthe owners performed their annual\nassessments and did whateve whatever development \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd their resources\nwould permit. LaBt yeaa as the\nresult of striking a rich body of\ngold bearing ore at the surface the\nUnion was added to the list of\nshipping mineB of the Boundary\ndistrict. The result was so satisfactory that operations were enlarged and between 20 and 30 tonB\nof ore, averaging $60 per ton, is\nbeing taken out daily by glory-\nholing. The profit realized is being\nused to develop the property with\nwhich object in view a tunnel is\nnow being driven [some distance\nbelow the open workings with satis factory indications.\nThe ore from the Union is being\nhauled by wagon 26 mileB to Lynch\ncreek, the present end of steel of\nwhat is known locally as the North\nFork line to the Canadian Pacific\nrailway, and from there Bhipped to\nGranby smelter. Between 100 and\n150 head of horses and -a large\nnumber of men are engaged in hauling supplies into Gloucester camp\nand hauling out the Union ore.\nThis method of transportation\nmakes mining .expensive and re-\nduces the profit on ore Bent to the\nsmelter, bo that it is not surprising\nthat there is a demand for the extension of the North Fork railway\nfrom Lynch creek to Gloucester.\n\"With a view to securing specific\ninformation regarding the camp\nand its possibilities for it? guidance\nin connection with the question of\nthe extension of ^the railway to\nGloucester, the provincial government recently sent A. G. Larson,\nthe well known mining engineer,\nto make a thorough inspection of\nthe district. In the meantime the\nexcellent results being achieved by\nthe Union has stimulated activity\non most of the other properties of\nthe camp, so that Gloucester is at\npresent a busy place. j\nDuring the past few weeks the\ncamp has been visited by a large\nnumber of mining men and others\nat variouB times, including R. H.\nStewart, general ^manager of the\nConsolidated Mining and Smelting\nCompany, and others of that company's officials; W. O.
