One OF the Charms OF Music.

''Do you find your orchestra pay
ing investment?" I asked of the pro-
prietor OF restaurant.
'Indeed do" he answered. "It's
the best investment about the restau-
rant. 1t makes my patrons more COM
Portable and better pleased with them
selves. People always feel more liberal
when hearing music; SO they eat
more. Then the rhythm OF the music
increases the appetite, particularly for
delicacies, and materially increases the
orders. Besides, the music both draws
customers from the street and holds
them after they have entered. Yes, it
does pay. New York Herald.

If should see
A brother languishing in sore distress,
And I should turn and leave him COM

When I might be
A messenger Of hope and happiness
How could I ask to have what denied.
In my own hour of bitterness supplied?I
If I might share
A brothers load along the dusty way,
And should turn and walk alone that day,
How could dare
When in the evening watch knelt to pray
To ask for help to bear my pain and loss,
If had needed not my brothers cross?
If might sing
little song to cheer fainting heart
And I should seal my lips and sit apart,
When might bring
bit of sunshine for life's ache and smart
How could l hope to have my grief re-
lieved.
If kept silent when my brother grieved2
And so know
That day is lost wherein fail to lend
A helping hand to some wayfaring friend;
But If 1t show
A burden lightened by the cheer send,
Then do I hold the golden hours we'll
SPENT
And lay me down to sleep in sweet cen
tent.

DECEMBER EXPORTS.
Domestic goods.


Our December trade, in the four Nc
Kin!ey tariff years, averaged, imports
of SCI ,323,373. In the two German
tariff years they averaged $62, III 1894,
or S74S, O21 a year more money sent
ont of the country each ''tarlff re-
form" December than in the protec-
tion period. Less work for American
labor and less cheery Christmas was
"sad news" to the wage earners. But
the cheerful idiot" gloats over it.
We also got less free goods and more
dutiable goods each glcomly Gorman
December than in the Mckinley happy
Christmases. But no Democratic
paper that we have seen gives any
credit to the Mckinley law.
Now turn to the export table. In
the four Mckinley years the average
December exports of American pro-
ducts reached $98. .450, 512. The two
gloomy German Defenders averaged
exports of only $S7,3s6,920, or over
Bill 200, 900 less of American products
sold in the markets of the world, and
That much less money for us to receive
and remind us of the CHEEKY Mckinley
Christmases. No wonder Christmas
trade has been dull in 1894 and 1895.
The storekeepers had good cause to
complain of that free trade tariff bill.

nouncement of these statistics. Pub

The "cheerful idiot" is gibbering
away again. This time his one idea is
focused on our trade for last Decem-
ber. Of course he looks at but one
side of tho ledger and compares it
only with the previous December, in
1894, when the German tariff was also
in effect. Recollecting how ali the
Democratic papers howled about its
being "unfair" to make comparisons
with 1894, only few months ago, it
does seem ridiculous to note how they
grasp at any straw in their vain effort
to stop the death gurgle of their free
trade founding that was foisted upon
them in the dead of night without
name and without fathers recogni-
tion. But. as James Gordon Bennett
wants December statistics, by all means
let him have them.

pened before for about two years, and
364 per cent. smaller than in the

increase of confidence and most of the
shops in operation are working part
time. The cotton mills are discussing
curtailment of production, as goods
continue weak, with an output largely

still hoped for. Woolens are practi-

The copper rock will average about thirty per cent and carries gold and silver. The lodges are big and we'll defined. MT. Fox aays that the country is almost in- sccesssble and water has to be packed from the river fifteen miles away. No one who Is unused to the desert country should go in there until the ralny season sets in. The whole country abounds in gold, silver and copper and we expect to hear of many wonderful discoveries in the near future. Many years ago the country around Liverpool Landing pro. duced thousands of dollars in placer gold but no effort was made to find the source from which it came.

 NJ. D. Latin and George Defrance, members of the Printer Syndicate, ar. rived in Kingman last Sunday from the Chemehueyis placer fields. They had with them 5O0s in gold, which they had taken out by dry washer process during the mon,h of June. Owing to the intense heat they were unable to work only in the morning and evening. Mir. Deirance says that great deal of the gravel in their gulch will run one dollar and fifty cents to the pan; that from six hoppers they realized 47 60$ A hopper of sand will weigh about .seyenly-6ve pounds. The great draw back to mining in the district Is the lack of water, but this dif- ficulty will be overcome in the near flu. ture. Wells are now being sunk with fair prospects of getting good water. Where water has been obtained it is so strongly impregnated with magnesia that it cannot be used. About forty men are now in the district and all are making money. Gold is found the entire length of the range and in the detached foothills. With cool weather there will be an un- precidented rush into the gold 6elds of this county and this section will get the greater part Of the inhux.
