CaMdIemas Day.
 Yesterday was Candlemas day, when in the Romap Catholic churches all the tapers and candles to be used in the churches during the year are blessed. It is quite as we'll known as the day which determines the character of the remaining part of the win ter. Here are some of the rhymes and say ings on the subject:
 Yf ye wuddy-chukke hys shaddo inn ye sunne Six wokes of wynterre shall have begunne.

Better Times Ahead.

There i no denying hut the present
dill spell is being keenly felt by our
people; but we should remember we
are no worse off in this respect than
the people osour sister towns through
ont the State. Indeed, il is not at all
probable that the present business
st%agnation will last over a month or
six weeks at the furlhest. Spring
will then have fairly opened, and a
revival OF our mining industry will
loom up. BY that time the Star will
have opened out its 700-foot level
which, it i conf lently expected, WI
place the future OF that property on
IA solid foundation. The Exchange
and Teaenp Companies are also get
ting their business affairs Strengthened
ont and will most likely resume work
before the LIST OF Nav. The San Jose
Company VIII very liked vstart uptheir
mil and increase their mining force
by that time. A Ruby Hal, it is al
most among the cert mites, that Il
live company will take hold OF the
valuable mines there an begin their
development ut an eally day. The
Silver Canon mines are also likely to
pass into The hand, OF cap talists who
will work them on a systematic scale.

Growth Of the American Railway
System.

The growth of the railway system of
the United States is one of the most
remarkable items in the entire seld of
Industrial statistics. The Sth of Octo-
Der, 1929, may be called the birthday
of the railway system, as having been
the day on which the locomotive trials
were commenced at Rain Hill, on the
Liverpool and Manchester railway.
The earliest year for which we have
official returns Of the length of En-
glish railways is 1854, at tire close of
which S,053 miles of line had been
completed in the United Kingdom
In 1880 twenty-three miles of railway
were open in the United States. By
the end of 1910 2,S1S miles were open.
In 1850 the length rose 9,021. In
1854 it was little more than double
the length of English lines, being 49,
72O miles. In 1860 the aggregate was
30,635 miles against 10,433 in the Uni
ted Kingdom. In 1870 the respec-
tive lengths were 52,914 and 1857,
and at the end of 1879 S2,223 and
1886 miles respectively. The total
length of railroads in the States at the
close of 1880, including some lines
which do not report their earnings,
was 93,G71 miles.-Builder.

amining a barometer. "What can l

You see John and | are going to get

''Do you think you could make it

"Well, Miss, | will telegraph to the
West and Northwest and endeavor to
get them to withhold all tornadoes,
gales and transforms until after the

to ask the people up there to keep

Put Yourself in his Place.

Under the above title the Dell Rap
ids (Dak.) Exponent, reads its peo-
pie a little lecture and which is so APP
plicable that we with pleasure give it
space;
What if you can get a job of print
ing done a little cheaper in some East
ern city? Do they ever say anything
about your rising young city? Do they
ever write up the country? Do they
publish a good word for your business
men occasionally? Most emphatically
not. Business men can afford to pay
their home paper a little more than
those foreign chaps, who flood the
West with their cheap prices-prices
below what Dakota printers could live
for. Local papers are always saying
something for the place and commun-
ity in which they are located, giving
hundreds Of dollars in the way of free
advertising every year, and business
men should be willing to leave their
job work at home and thus help build
up home institutions, even if it does
cost them a little more. They can
we'll afford to, but oft time they do
not. Money given to those travelling
solicitors for cheap work never does
much good to a town, while that ex-
pended with home printing offices is
always returned in various ways.

Gems Of Thought.

A blithe heart makes n blooming
visage.
Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays
to virtue.
Better one word in time than two
afterward.
To be weak is miserable doing or
suffering.
Loss of sincerity is loss of vital
power.
None but wise man can employ
leisure well.
The greatest wealth is contenAuent
with little.
He that swells in prosperity is sure
to shrink in adversely:
He who says what he likes, often
hears what he does not like.
Some men and women talk by the
yard, and think by the inch.
The touchstone by which men try
us is often their own vanity.
Many men employ their first years
SO as to make their last miserable.
Many an honest man stands in need
of help that has not the courage to
ask it.
The charities that soothe, and heat,
and bless, lie scattered at the feet of
men like flowers.
Selfish people always think their
own discomfort of more Importance
than anything else in the world.
There's nothing kills man so soon
as having nobody to find fault with
but himself-George Eliot.
What boy learns he mostly keeps
till age SO therefore, parents, train
your children well.-Euripides.
Fortunes made in no time are like
shirts made in no time its ten to one
if they hang long together,
Difficulties may surround our path,
but if the difficulties be not in our
selves, they may generally be over
come.
Never does man portray his own
character more wildly than III his
manner of portraying another.-Rich-
ter
Come what, come may,
Time and the hour run through the toughest day.
Shakespeare.
Fife is a succession of lessons which
must be lived to De understood All
is riddle and the key to a riddle is an
other riddle.
They say fortune is a woman and
capricious. But sometimes she is o
good woman, and gives to those who
merit.-George Eliot.
Not only general things, but also
the most particular, which have en-
tered the memory, abide there, and
are never obliterated. .-Swedenborg.
Fortune, so show us her power in
all things, and to abate our presump-
ton, seeing she could not make fools
wise, has made them fortunate.
Real political issues cannot be man.
ufactured by the leaders of political
parties, and real ones cannot be- evad-
ed by political parties.-Garfeld
In short you're always sure to detect
sham in the things folks most affect;
Bean-pods are noisiest when dry,
And you always wink with your weakest eye.
Bret Harte.
In common discourse we denomin-
ate persons and things according to
the major part of their character: he is
to be called a wise man who has but
few follies.
The more gross the fraud, the more
glibly will it go down, and the more
greedily viii it be swallowed since
folly will always find faith where i'm
posters will find impudence.
Experience has taught me that the
only friends we can call our own, who
can have no change, are those over
whom the grave has closed; the seal
Of death is the only seal of friendship.-
