Please explain why It was that silver

above par: further (@) why Is II II we
have a gold standard that we can't get
gold for q silver certificate or silvcr?"

more than tfty ,Imcs as many silver
dollars az we had coined In the entire
history Of our government up to that
time. and by limiting the coinage ana
making them legal tender since have
kept them on a parity with gold.
a real decentralization Of silver took
place In 1853. when the fractional silver
coin, which was then legal tender and
comprised 81 per cent OF all the silver in
use, was restricted In legal tender and
the doors OF the minis were closed 10 It's
free coinage. The act OF 1879 did not de-
monctlze single silver coin. but on the
other hand, brought every dollar. which
had been boarded. because silver was at
premium, into use.

treasury note certifying that there Is on

and other safeguards maintains the

You never can tell when you send IA word
Like an arrow shot from bow
Nv an archer blind-be II cruel or kind,
lust where 1t will chance 10 go.
II may pierce the breast Of your dearest
friend,
Tipped with Its poison or balm;
To strangers heart In life's great mart
1t may carry Its pain or its calm.
You never can tell when you do an act,
Just what the result will be;
But with every deed you are sowing a seed,
Though its harvest you may not see.
Each Kindly act is an acorn dropped
In Gods productive soii
Though YOU may not know. yet the tree

And shelter the brows that toll.
You never can tell what your thoughts will

In bringing you hate or love;..
For THOUGHTS are things. and their airy

Are swifter than carrier doves.
They follow the law OF the universe
Each thing must create Its kind;
And they speed DER the track to bring you

Whatever went out from your mind.

DR.. Nansen, who recently returned

to drink save that which is thawed, ana
on the march 1t is almost impossible to

effects of the wind and sun. 1t Is well
known that low degree of cold can be
borne without discomfort so long as the
air Is still. but the moment 1t gets into
motion 1t strikes the skin like the blast

It's effects have often been described as

DARING HoLD-UP NEAR VICTOR
Engineer and Manager of the Alice Mhe
Robbed Last Night

Engineer and Manager Of the Alice Mhe
Robbed Last Night.
Victor, Colo, Nov. 20.-About eight
o'clock tonight daring hold-up was
perpetrated at the shaft house of the
Alice mine on Raven hill near the Ek-
ton property. The engineer at the
Alice, ). N. Phillips, had stepped out
side and just as he was passing by tn.
door on his return, two men, one short
and the other tall, having their feat
ures covered with black masks, entered
the shaft house, and covering Phillips
with their guns, marched him up to
where Mr.. d. V. Shotes, the mine man
ager. was standing, and, lining the
men up. proceeded to go through them.
Phillips was robbed of a fine gold
watch valued at S125, and consider

satisfying themselves they could get
nothing more of value, bade Messrs
Phillips and Shoates pleasant good
night and ran down the side of the hill.
Phillips Immediately got his gun,
which was lying in the office Mt the
time. and followed them, firing several
shots. The robbers escaped unframed,
however, and up to date nothing has
been learned of their whereabouts. The

The Winter Evening.

While the ring of the curfew bell has
not been, and will not be, generally OBJ
served throughout the country, there is
need enough In villages and towns for
something to take the boys and girls
from the streets after nightfall. The Y.
NJ. G. A. will open its inviting doors to
the young men and boys who are at work
during the day. but the schoolboy who
has been busy all day with lessons, cares
tiiings, and the question cOmes-and an
Important question it is-what shall be
done with him during that most danger
Gus period of the day, between supper
and bed time?
To all intents and purposes the teacher
has nothing to do with this-her province
does not legally extend beyond the limits
OF the school grounds, nor after four o.
clock-but after all, teacher who has
the interest of her boys and girls at
heart, does wonder If she cannot in some
way reach them after the evening meal
at home.
One legitimate way Is to provide work
to be done in the evening, but this can
hardly be looked upon as amusement;
and the question comes, whether the
school library should not be depended
on to do its share of this work. In cases
where there is no school library, is 1t not
incumbent upon the teacher of the school
80 lacking to begin to collect one; and
can she not set these boys and girls to
work, especially the boys, to do something
for an object so commendable? What do
you say to this, reader-teachers of the
Colorado School Journal?

Tho Old WAY and tn. Nov.

A generation or so ago, the bright
est boys Of the farmers family were
assigned to the professions. The dull
fellows were sent to the fields. Now
a-days different order of things pre-
walls. Once the idea was popular that
only muscular strength was necessary
on the farm-the strength to guide
plow, to WELD an axe, hoe,
or a scythe-the endurance to go
through with the sweltering tasks of
summer or the exposing duties OF win
ter. These important requisites given.
a BOBBY might fill the place as well as
any one else. So some folks used to
think. but what say you working far
mer boys? Do you not place a higher
estimate upon your skill and upon your
services? Look up, then, and vindicate
yourselves. You are getting health
and strength from the wholesome e1-
ercises of the fields; and that you may
have the necessary intelligence to com
bine. with the strength for the proper
prosecution of your calling, apply your
selves diligently to acquiring knowl-
edge whenever the respite from labor
shall give you the opportunities
lected.

SQUEEZED TO DEATH.
Park Gates at Baroda, India. Were Too
Narrow-Many Injured.

Park Gates at Baroda, India, Were Too
Narrow-M.ny Injured.
Bombay, Nov. 3O.-A dispatch from
Baroda, the capital Of the state Of that
name, gives the details Of a fatal acci-
dent which occurred there last night.
The Earl of ElgIn, viceroy of India,
arrived at Baroda last evening on a
visit to the Gaikwas, or native ruler of
the state. The Inhabitants turned out
en- masse to welcome the vicerdy, and
to see display Of fire works In his
honor. The display was given in the
park of the Gaikwas. which was open
to the public. Everything passed on
without incident OF note until the end
of the ceremonies. Then the crowd
made a rush for the park gates which
were SO narrow that they soon be-
came jammed with people. Those be-
hind, not knowing the cause of the
delay at the exit, pressed forward un-
til the crush at the gates was terrific.
A number Of persons were squeezed to
death, while others who lost their foot,
had the life trampled out Of them OF
died from suffocation. When the
crowd was finally cleared away 1t was
found that twenty-nine persons had
been killed and thirty-five others
more or less seriously injured.
