l hope that no girl who reads this
ever condescends to coax or wheedle
her father into giving spending money
for iler indulgence, when ne plainly
tells her that he can not afford to do
so. A girl named Gertrude, of whom I
heard the other day, did this. Her ia
ther was greatly embarrassed to meet
expenses, and she knew it, yet, vanity
urging her, she leased and leased him
until he gave her fifty dollars to spend
for some dainty superfluities in the way
Of ftrs and lace. The burrows on his
poor, tired face grew deeper, his Shout
ders more STOPPING, his credit less
stable day by day; but do you think
Miss Gertrude cared? Don't initiate
her example. A selfish daughter will
be after awhile selfish wife, and very
likely when a mother will train her
children in selfshness The high
est grace of character is found
in self-forgetfulness. l would rather
see the young girl anxious and
able to relieve her parents in their
hours of perplexity; anxious and able
to sustain her end of the load. She can
do this if she set out in life with an oh 1,
ject, with definite aim, with a de-
termination to be helpful in an intelli-
gent way.
So now, little girl, think. If you are
fond of taking care of the baby, of ty-
ing up Dicks finger when he has cut it,
of nursing the bird or the cat that is
ill, you may become doctor, or a
trained nurse, when you grow up. Or
if you like to cut out dolls clothes, and
fit them neatly, that may be hint that
you will become a very clever dress
maker. Perhaps you have genius for
cooking or for writing books, or for
keeping accounts. Find out what you
like best, and then study that with all

THE GOOD CHILD.

When Tommy Brown came home from
school,
A frown was on his brow;
His mother said: "What's happened, Tom?
What Is the matter Gcw?'
Said Tommy, with a darker scowl:
II wish that you could see
The way the other children act!
They're bad as bad can be
"They push and pull, and tear my clothes,
And make a horrid noise;
They fight ut noOn-time, and the girls
Are worser than the boys!
"They plague me SO can not learn;
II Is no use TO try;
There's Just one good one In the school,
And that one, 1t is In'
Said Mrs. Brown: 30. dear! o. deari
Now, l have heard them say
That all the other children talk
In just that very way;
Sand each, If anything goes wrong,
When questioned, will reply:
There's Just one good one in the school,
And that one, 1t Is l."

HATING SIN ITSELF.
Tho Consequences of Wrong Doing Should
Not Give Us So Much Concern as the
Fact That We Have Sinned.

Tho Consequences of Wrong Doing Should
Not Give Us So Much Concern as the
Fact That We Have Sinned.
All of us shrink from the conse-
quences of sin, but we do not all of us
shrink from sin itself. If, indeed, we
could be sure that no evil results would
come to us from shining, we should
probably be even less likely than now
to refrain from committing sin. Yet it
is sin itself, rather than any conse-
quences of sin, that should be our alb
horrence--and that will be so if we look
at it Alright. Suppose we have friend
who loves us very dearly, and who
never fails in fidelity or in tender
ness toward us. Now if we, under
pressure of temptation, prove false
to that friend, betray his interests, or
treat him with marked unlindness,
what is it that should trouble us most
in rejecting upon our course with ref
erence to him-the thought that he may
resent our action and cease to love u.s.
or the thought of our ingratitude and
heartlessness in proving untrue to such
friend? Would it help the matter if we
knew that our treachery or ingratitude
would not lessen our friends love for
us. and that his chief suffering because
of it would be on our account rather
than on his? Would not our failure
toward that friend, rather than
any fear of evil results to us
from the failure, be the chief
cause of our sorrow in such a case?
Similarly with reference to all SHINING,
which is really gross offense against
our Friend of all friends, we ought to
have all the more shrinking from it,not
the less, in view of the fact that, much
as it grieves Him-for our sake-it will
never turn Him away from us, nor set
Him against us. The practical CUES.

FOX SUNDAY READING,
THY WILL BE DONE.

Not In dumb resignation
We lift our hands ON high;
Not like the nerveless fatallst
Content to trust and die.
Our faith springs ike the eagle
Who scars to meet the sun,
And cries exulting unto Thee;
o Lord, Thy will be done!
When tyrant feet are tramping
Upon the common veal,
Thou dost not bid us bend and writhe
Beneath the iron heel.
In Thy name we assert our right
BY sword or tongue or pen,
And even the headsman's ak may flash
Thy message unto men.
Thy will! 1t bids the weak be strong;
1t bids the strong be just;
No lip to fawn, no hand to beg,
No brow to seek the dust.
Wherever man Expresses man
Beneath Thy liberal sun.
Lord, be there Thine arm made bare,
Thy righteous will be done!

The night is long; but the day
cometh. The story Of Lazarus is in
miniature the story of Christian living
and dying. The dead do not cease to
be; they are not afar off; they are
within the sound of the Life-giver's
voice. And the tears that we shed at
the grave of our beloved are the pre-
cursors Of the JOY with which we shall
again greet them when to them and to

That which is not worth dying for
il not worth living for. Living is dy-

bringing of death; hence that which
calls for the devotion of ones life, calls
for devotion unto death. Let US, there
Gore, see to it that we do not purpose to
live for any object for which we would

"The Kate Fry" is an eight foot
ledge of concentrating galena ore,
carrying 40 ozs, Of silver per ton, but
so difficult Of access that work on
it has not been pushed.
"The Ebba" is a 4 foot ledge of
galena. They have run 100 foot

the face of the tunnel runs from
100 to $50 ozs. silver. This is an
exceedingly promising claim.

"The Jeanette mine is located
about a half a mile from the Home

Mining Company, a new company
organized at Bonner's Ferry this
week. Among the incorporators
are J. Armstrong, III. H. Markley,
G. r. Everhart, Thos Jones, and
others Of Bonner's Ferry and
Bolder, whose names we did not
learn. The Jeanette has 3 foot

Some Of these claims are not
more than a mile from the main
line Of the G. N. There is also an
unlimited water power in Boulder
creek. These two factors are very
important considerations in the OPP
Grafton of the mines, and increase
the value of the ore.
Considering all things, the min
ing outlook at Boulder is very
bright indeed, and some good re-
suits may be expected from the
camp.

what a Sucker did do.

Last Monday drummer for a
wholesale liquor house in the vii
lage Of Portland arrived in the city
Of Kootenai. He came with a sun
ny countenence and glib tongue,
and was also the happy possessor
Of good roll He remained over
till Tuesday, but when he appeared
on the street on that day, what q
change had come over his spiritsl
His sunny ,smilss had gone hence,
and over his countenance there ling
cred sad, far away, Portlander
look. His hands were thrust in
his trousers pockets where he fond
led the last quarter left, out Of the
$3.50 he possessed the evening before,
when he started out to paint
Kootenai a deep vermillion. He
was sure he had had that much
because he had asked several stran-
gers to count it for himl To add
to his discomforture, his wife arrived
upon the scene. 1t was provokingly
awkward. But a drummer is an
animal full of resources. He
pawned his gold watch for means,
and sprung the "robbbd in Koo-
tenai" chestnut on his wife, and
will probably turn up later on as
a date-raiser for Anticipated snake
stories on the Spokane Spokesman,
or writing editorials for the Review
on the blessings of Spokane's sun
day law (Which Peter Mertz does
not enforce)
We wish people from country
villages like Spokane and Portland

Does this Apply to Yous

There are some good people who
have not subscribed for the HERALD
yet that ought to. The people of
Kootenai will please understand it
is subscribers we want, not dimes
for single copies-and nickles new
er. We are always glad to furnish
our regular subscribers, or trans
tents, extra copies at 10 cents, small
favors thankfully received Of course.
But any business man in Kootenai,
regulated and balanced on such q
cheap scale as to want to take a
copy occasionally at a few cents in
stead Of becoming a regular sub
scriber, is-er-well, "d-n it" is a
very proper expression to use in
thinking about it.
We want observation-disclosures
subscribers weare speaking of--and
we want them to pay in advance.
Of course it is not compulsory on
any body, but it is a pretty out if
you that ought to can not donate q
years subscription towards the
support Of a paper after we have
tone our part. Subscribe for six
months or three months, if not for
a year, but become a regular sub
scriber by all means.
These remarks should not be
misunderstood. We speak out
plainly for this one time, and then
have done with the subject for al
time. We duly appreciate the
acts of all those who have done the
hight thing by US. Neither do
these remarks apply to those dead
head, back numbers that come into
b town and try to 20 business on
Chinese principles. We do not
expect anything from such crea-
lures and do not want it. They
would growl about it for the next
Nix months and do Us more harm
than good They are sort Of neg
ative quantities in the world-to
pull down and never build up 1t

A Bio Lumber Contract.

e. J. Merlin and 7. McCandlish
of Kootenai, have purchased
a saw mill outfit and will establish
the same on the Kootcnai River,
probably at Kootenai Falls, s
miles above Lake Creek. They will
do business under the name Of the
Kootenai River Saw Mill Company.
They have a contract to furnish
100000 feet of lumber for the G. N.
They will also manufacture lum-
Der for the river towns including
Lake Greek. Boulder, Crossport,
Eatonville and Bonner's Ferry.
They can raft the lumber down the
river at a very small expense.
Their mill is now at Smead's
Spur and will be taken to the river
as. soon as the new road is COM
pleted.
The cash receipts at the y. P.
depot last Monday were over 5000
for charges on freight and express.

we referred in a general way to the
mineral resources Of the Upper Pan
Handle. We promised our readers
then something more definite on
the subject. Since then we have
taken some pains to acquaint our
selves more thoroughly on the sub
ject. Investigation only confirms
what we stated. In fact we believe
the pine clad hills Of the Kootenais
are destined to be the location Of
some Of the best producing mines
in Idaho, a state that has already
attained the proud position of Sd
in the Union in the production Of
precious metals, and that is rapidly
forging ahead to a higher position.
We do not say this to boom our
country. Good mines need no
booming, and booming poor mines,
or no mines at all, as the case fire.
quently is, does country no good.
There is enough in sight" as the
phrase goes, to Justify what we
state. 1t is true that there are lit
terally hundreds Of locations that
are only prospects yet, but there
are others that have been develop
ed to show beyond doubt the ex-
istence of real, genuine, paying
MINES. What has kept this min
ing country back most has been
the lack Of transportation facilities.
There is not even a good pack trail
to many promising locations. 1t
costs money to develop mines I'M
der any circumstances, and espec-
tally undor such as these. The
poor prospector could make but
little Roadway. He could not put
the mine in shape to sell, and cap
ital would not invest till the mine
was developed. And 50 the matter
has stood. But the building Of the
Great Northern will do much to
change this, and its completion
will open up rich mineral belt.
Of the mines that are being de-
veloped, we shall this week give an
account Of those in the Surprise
Mining District. They are located
on Boulder Greek; coming down to
within a half mile of where it emp
ties into the Kootenai river. They
are about 10 miles above Crossport.
The district includes the group
owned by the Boulder Creek Mining
Co, and the jeanette mine, owned
by the jeanette Mining Co.
The Boulder Greek Mining. Co,
is an Iowa corporation with a cap
ital stock Of 100000. Most of the
stockholders are Eastern men. Mr.
II. II. Markley is president and in
charge Of the work. Mr.. e. J..
Merlin; ofthis city, is treasurer. The
company has spent about $4,000
in the last three years developing
their mines. They have had them
surveyed and have made applica-
ton for patents.
"The Homestake" is their best
developed mine. The ore is CON
centrating galena, carrying from
20 to so ozs. silver and so to 20 per
cent lead. The ledge is about 4 or
five feet wide. The development
work consists Of three tunnels at
different levels, and a shaft sunk
to a considerable Depth The up
per tunnel was driven in 40 feet;
the next, 140; and the lower one,
100. The miners are now working
in the lower tunnel and the ore is
looking fine. A double shift has
been running ON this work.
The Boulder Creek Co. has anoth-,
or location called the Eureka
