The air of the shop is still and depress
ing. Where once the melody of the
anvil rang out, and the soft and seduc-
tive odor of the scorched foot of the
bronco filled the glad morning, now all
is hushed. The red glow has died away
in the giant heart Of the forge. The
smithy washed his great big honest
hands in the water trough, and pulling
down his sleeves to conceal the bright
red beard upon his massive forearms he
went away Rust and ruin are giving
place to the activity and crush and

weeks, express the full meaning of the
term quiet any more powerfully than
that Here and there about the door
the quick eye of the visitor may see the
shorn and grizzled locks of the honest
boomer of other days, but the lather is
dry in the old sink, and the last echo of
the loud smelling hair oil of the happy
past has died away in the bosom of the
poorly planned acoustics of the past.
Even the low, hoarse death rattle of
the bathtub has ceased in it's silent
throat, and the gas leak, with its hands
across its breast and its feet in the soap
dish, recks not of the fight of gathering
years.
The hotel is also quiet. Wait till

THE terrible fires raging In the pine
forests of Michigan and Wisconsin work
seriously threaten the country's lumber
supply in the near future. Yet these fires,
with their enormous destruction are not
half so threatening to the lumber supply as
the rsvsges of timber thieves and specu-
lstors. 1t would seem that these fires
would at least result in the enactment
and enforcement of effective laws for the
protection of orr forests against foes,

AFFAIRS in the Argentine Republic al

AFFAIRS in the Argentine Republic are
evidently not on the mend. Gold has
reached premium of 272. and there
seems to be disposition to have recourse
to an iuconvertible paper currency, that is
a forced loan on the people, as the remedy
for the present distress. What the Ar
gentine seems to want most is a fair
amount of honest and patriotic disin-
terestedness on the part o. It's rulers. Till
that is forthcoming its credit is no more
likely to improve than its resources are
TO be effectively developed.

How They Met.

at Harrison to let a lady wearing a
spring hat alight. At the same moment
lady wearing her winter hat wanted to
take the same car. They met face to
face on the lower step. They We're
strangers. The one with the spring hat
had the right of way, and she tossed her
head in defiant manner. Winter Hat
felt that the odds were against her, but
she braced up and looked the other
square in the eye and refused to give
way.

reaching for the bellrope.
Spring Hat would not bulge. Winter
Hat would not retreat.
"All aboard!''
Spring Hat glared at Winter Hat, and
the end of her nose was elevated bit.
Winter Hat returned the glare, and her
pug nose tried the same dodge, but
couldn't elevate.
Ladies, don't detain the carr cried
the conductor, and his words encouraged
Winter Hat to renewed exerticns. She
pulled herself up the step, crowded
Spring Hat against the side of the car.
and entered the door with smile of
triumph on her face. The other stepped
off, gave her skirts shake and her head
a toss and walked away, but despite her
dignity and defiance the conductor
looked after her and said:

HOW to Succeed.

This is the great problem of life which
few satisfactorily solve. Some fail because
of poor health, others want of luck, but the
majority from deficient grit-want of nerve.
They are nervous, irresolute, changeable,
easily get the blues and take the spirits
down to keep the spirits up" thus wasting
money, time, opportunity and nerve force.
There is nothing like the Restorative Nervine,
discovered by the great specialist, DIR. Miles,
to cure all nervous diseases, as headache, the
blues, nervous prostration. seepessness,
neuralgia, st. Vitus dance, fits, and hysteria.
