When a child is old enough to ask
questions he is old enough to be an
swered truthtully and intelligently.
There are many things which it is diff
cult to explain SO as TO render them COM
prehensible to young child, but what
ever is said should be absolutely true.

was reading. 'It's picture of one O. the

Walter Dunlop, the well-known humor-

talking to brother of the cloth, who, in
a tacetious manner said; "Well, Walter,

'You mustn't make that excuse for stay

said, warningly. And Mr.. Tuckerman
was half way down the street before he
saw the application Of it.

Another Year.

Another year has passed and gone,
With Its victories and defeats;
With its many cares and duties
And record incomplete.
How many hopes have persisted
And our aspirations high,
That arise as light "a bubbles-
Then burst before our eye
Another year has come again;
And may the victories of the past
Inspire Us to press onward
To greater conquest than the last.
While the failures we've committed
Stand a taltsmau each day,
Warming u from like disaster.
Lest our feet fall by the way.
Thus may each year ever find u
Better fitted for the strife,
Stronger to resist temptations
That surround our daily life.
With the motto ever onward
Till we reach the shining goal
Where the tempier ne'er can reach u
In the homeland of the soul.

The Editors Heaven,

The editor OF paper in the wild West,
which is paid for in corn when the sub
scribers are obliged to pay, gleefully tells
Of country editor who died OF starva-

an angel W no had been sent out for that
purpose.
May look at the other place before l
ascend to eternal hap Jiness?'
Easily" said the angel.
So they went below and skirmished
around, taking in the sights. The angel
lost track OF the editor, and went around
hades to hunt for him. He found him
sitting by furnace tanning himself, and
gazing with rapture upon the lot OF peo-
pie in the fire. There was sign on the
furnace which said: Delinquent Sub
scribers.'
Come" said the angel, 1--WE must be
going"
"You go on said the editor. I'm not
coming. This is heaven enough for me-"

The Philipsburg Fire Brigade Will
Take the Matter in Hand.
WILL CELEBRATE THE FOURTH
A Committee Will Interview the Busi
ness Men and Others to See What
Can Be Done in the Way Of
Raising Reasonable Sub
scription Fund.

A meeting of citizens was called at
the court house last Friday evening to
see what could be done about Fourth
of July celebration a small attend
ance was present, but the feeling APP
peared to be that we should celebrate,
and it was determined to turn the
management over to the fire brigade,
if they would take it in charge. The
brigade called special meeting last
night to consider the question and de-
termined that they would take the
matter up and see what could be done.
julius Hanson was appointed COM
mittee of one to pass a subscription
paper around and see what could be
raised in the way Of subscriptions. An
executive committee was appointed,
consisting of the president of the
brigade and Messrs. J. J. Carmichael,
Dan Crowley, G.. Fl. Westphal, F. A.
Beley, George Burks and O. j. Quivey.
The intention is to get up celebrn-
tion something like that of last year,
and have the games, races, etc, take
place on Broadway. 1t will not cost a
great deal and will be made as enjoy
able as possible. Exercises will prob
ably be held in the opera house.

ANOTHER GOLD COMPANY.
A Sale Likely to Be Made Of Property
Adjoining the Golden Sceptre.

Al Hollende', a resident of Quigley,
who is quite extensively interested in
quartz and placer property in Granite
county, was in Philipsburg Monday
and informs The Mail that there is
likely to be another big mining COM
pany at work near Quigley before long
Mr. Hollender, together with several
others, own mining ground adjoining
the Jumbo property. All these men
are going in together with the inten-
ton of selling their property out in one
block to an eastern syndicate A Den
yer expert will be in Quigley this
week, we are informed, who will make
a thorough examination of the property
and if they prove valuable and salts
foctory, which there is every reason to
believe they will, another large COM
pany friendly to Quiglev and the
Golden Sceptre company will be added
to the lower Rock Greek country. The
men who are interested in selling, by
joining together, have il large number
of claims and in doing this they make
it an object for a company to take
hold. 1t is to be hoped that the new
deal will be successful and that another
large gold proposition will be added to
those of Granite county.

A MINING ACCIDENT
Sam Taylor Meets With a Mishap il
the Jubilee Tunnel.

Last Thursday about noon Sam Tay-
lor and John Huddleston We're at work
in the Jubilee tunnel OF the Hope mine
and set off blast. Quite a large
amount Of ore, waste, ETC., were dis
lodged and loosened, when lot of it
dropped on Sam Taylor's head, bruis-
ing him up pretty badly and cutting
his head somewhat 1t appears, from
what The Mail can learn, that the two
men wanted to clear away that part of
the ore, etc, that had fallen on the
floor of the tunnel before knocking
down the rock loosened by the blast
but which still hung in place. 1t was
of course much easier to sort the ore
from the waste in that way than it
would have been to have knocked it
all down and then assorted it, partic-
ularly when most Of what had fallen
was ore and that which remained was
principally waste. They intended,
after what had fallen was removed, to
knock down all earth loosened and sort
that However, while Talyor was at
work in the face large body of the
loosened earth fell on his head and
knocked him down and stunned him.
Huddleston, who was further out and
not hurt, ran for assistance. Before
he had returned Taylor had regained
his senses, and seeing no light sup
posed his partner had been killed, and
was using his lungs in pretty lusty
manner when the other men reached
him. He was soon extricated from his
unpleasant predicament and taken
home. Taylor's injuries are not at all
serious, though painful No bones

We're broken, though several stitches
had to be taken in his head. He will
probably be laid up for two or three
weeks, after which time he will be
able to resume his labors. Under all
circumstances the injured man may
thank his stars that things turned out
as well as they did, as we are Informed
that big boulder or mass of ore fell
beside him, which had he been under
it the chances are that he would have
been crushed to death.

From all reports regarding the
baseball game at Anaconda Sunday it
is evident that Philipsburg's Starry
Dewdrops were not in it. Those who
accompanied the team from here claim
that the boys on an average played very
poor ball, and some of them lay the de-
feat to the very poor quality Of water
furnished in the Smelter City. The
score: Anaconda 32, Philipsburg 6.

When Mr.. Bryan, IN his first speech
after being nominated told the peo-
pie who listened to him at Chicago,
There will be no sign up to keep off

uttered a sentiment which, il lived up
to. ought to make him the most pop
ular as we'll as the most American
presidunt we have had since the civil
war, says the st. Louis Pcst-Dispatch.
is as ridiculous for Wall street
orgaus to claim that Mr. Bryan re-
ferred to the actual grass around the
capitol at Washington and invited its
spoliation by armies of tramps, AS it
would be to assert that the political
slogan Keep in the middle OF the
road, " refers 20 an actual highway.
The people are endowed with imagina-
ton, and they know what Mr. Bryan
meant when he said: "There will be
no sign up to keep off the grass when
I am president"
They believe he meant that II he
could bring It about, there should ne
an end to class legislation and class
favoritism. They believe that he re-
ferred to government-fostered monop-
olies and legislation tending to make
the rich richer and the poor poorer;
that he had in mind a new era, when
the tariff baron aud the millionaire
inancier will not be privileged per-
sons before congressional committees,
while the representatives OF the pro-
ducers and the masses are met at the
capitol steps with polieemen's clubs.
