GOLD MINE I'm DAVE,
It Is Believed to be Worth q Careful
InvestigatiOn.

Investigation.
Correspondence of The Sentinel.l
CANA, Dec. 11-Since my reference
to the gold mine near here sometime
ago | have investigated and find it
more extensive than [ then thought.
There were some fifteen shafts sunk
to a depth of near so feet always
growing richer as they went down
till they would strike water and hav-
ing no machinery to dispose of the
water they would return to the sur
face and begin again. 1t is near
one-half nile between the extreme
shafts Near by on branch is a
crude rock mill used for grinding ore
No one seems to know how much
gold has been procured from these
mines but all agree that it has been
considerable and beyond a doubt is
well worth investigation.
Some fine hogs are being killed
around here this winter-25O, 800,
400 and 500 Founders are frequently
reported.
Let the Wilson bill he passed as
soon as possible. Vox.

THE POSTOFFICF.

The talk in Washington Monday
night was that the ex-rule was quite
certain to bar out Mr. Smith who
made a most excellent postmaster
under Mr.. Cleveland's first admins
tration. The rule has been but in
frequently relaxed, and then only
where there was good reason for so
doing. If he were the only candi-
date the ex-rule would not operate
against him. Our people are mainly
concerned with a good, prompt adj
ministration of the office Nearly
everybody is interested in that for
nearly everybody has dealings with
Uncle Sam in that particular. No
one has been named for the position
but who would fill it acceptably to
our people. Toaccomplish this they
would need only to emulate Mr..
Smith. The contest so far has been
exemplified by courtesy, and con-
siderate treatment of each other
among the candidates themselves.
Had a number of Winston people
seen four of these candidates sitting
together at a Washington hotel the
other day, joking, laughing and say
ing pleasant things about one an.
other, he would see the full force of
these remarks.
Now, to speak for moment of
some especial needs of the Winston
postoffice. The general government
has not been liberal enough with it.
There has been need of a night clerk,
and there is greater need of it now

SERVING THE LORD IN HARD LINES.
A Moving story of the Troubles OF .
Country Preacher,

81 have just returned from The inte-
rior Of the state, where ! was called
upon to aid an INDECENT preacher"
said a well-known Detroit minister of
the gospel to a Free Press reporter,
-and what | saw there has set me TO
thinking. There he was with five
small children and a wife, and not
more than $500 q year at the furthest
coming into the house. OF course
they didn't have even the bare necessi-
ties OF life, and had often suffered real
hardship, for the neighbors were scat
tered and miles away, aud even when
they did get together it was found that
combined they were too poor to help
even themselves let alone anybody
else, even though it be their minister.
His house was a small cottage, with
rag carpet on the floor of the front
room only. and a bare floor when YOU
had gotten beyond that. | was shown
their larder, and was surprised to see
in it only a few pieces of cold meat
and 3 half loaf Of bread, which | was
assured was two weeks old, am 90
ing TO see what | can do to assist that
family by collecting money for their
benefit, and will visit every church
in my denomination, and will expect
them all to contribute literally.
The men who cater to the amuse-
ment and the stomachs of the people
stand the best show Of getting rich.
There is a waffle peddler in this city
who a few years ago was too poor even
to buy a basket in which to carry his
wares, yet today he owns half q dozen
houses and lots, and can probably
count his possessions up to $4,000.
Then there is y popcorn mar who
started in in much the same way. and
now he is the proprietor Of a fine place
and Is making money rs fast AS he can
rake it in.
"A ballet dancer is paid $500 a week
to kick before the public, while the
poor minister, who caters to spiritual
needs only, is forced to starve on less
than that amount a year. A good
singer in an opera company is paid n
like amount, while in y church choir
he could not make his salt. 1t shows
me that there is much more attention
paid to the worldly needs OF the com
munfty than to their spiritual equip
ment. This is an enlightened couu-
try, and tho churches had more to do
with bringing about this state of af-
fairs than any other one agency, yet
1t is not more than half recognized"

HELEN kELLAR.
She Can Talk Now-How She knows
What Is said to Her.

Helen Kellar, the remarkable child
who, although born blind aud deaf and
dumb, has accomplished Sc much that
is beautiful and inspiring, numbers
among her friends, many persons of
royal station in European courts who
never saw her. One of these is the
queen OF Greece, who learned of Helen
Through Michael AnagnoS, the director
of the institution for the blind, when
he visited Greece some time ago. The
interest which the queen took in Helen
was so intense that she eNacted from
Mr.. Apagnos q promise that he would
let her read every letter Helen wrote
to him while he vas at the Greek
capital, and when he was about 10 re-
turn to this country she induced him
to permit her 10 retain several of the
letters that she had read, which are
treasured very highly at the court, says
the Boston Globe.
The queen expressed on more than
one occasion her surprise that Helen.
who is not vet in her teens, should
have so remarkable a command of the
purest English, and limited lbat the
child might have had some assistance
in the preparation Of her wonderful
letters. But Mr.. Anaguos disposed of
that thought by informing her majesty
that there was no person connected
with the institution who could write
English so faultlessly pure and sweet
as Helen wrote, since the little girl
never had had an opportunity to form
acquaintance with any but the %loftiest
models Of the language.
Helen has leaned To articulate and
can speak as freely and fully as any
Goamicted person. When she wishes
to hold a long conversation with any
body dear TO her she places one finger
across the lips of tho speaker ana an
other one on the throat ut the laryux.
In this way she understands every
word that is uttered as rapidly as could
be understood By n person with good
eyesight and hearing,
