the long run for the mine owner. and
infinitely better for a community in
which such mines are situated. as more
men are employed and more money is
taken out than III camps whore the
mines are narrow and rich This is
shown i'll The Cpur d'Alenes, where
over co. 900 tons of one are mined

such conditions prevail.
Mine investors have become suspicious

Usefulness Preferable to Brilliancy.

DIR. G. II. Parkhurst says that light

would rather have a candle to read by.
There are few lightning flashes and
many candles in the world A "bril-
liant young man or woman isn't such
an acquisition as some people would
have Us believe. The Flooding habit of
logged toll can accomplish more than
spasmodic freshets of enthusiasm.
The work Of the world is done in its
workshops, not its talking shows, con-
ventions and enthusiastic" gatherings,
whose enthusiasm never. by any chance,
percolates into the adjoining street or
slum.
The girl who is plain in face and
homely Of figure, but kindly Of heart and
tender and true, Is to be preferred by an
honest man for wifehood before her
dashing, laughing sisters, rare and hand
some, whose dainty fingers never baked
pie, whose hearts never bore another $
burden. The light of the home is gen
orally the quiet, humble, unobtrusive
sister or brother who is not cursed with
the waywardness of genius
Beauty and talent have unequaled OPP
portunities when combined with direct
ing character. But the plan of nature
never intended that the many should
trust to them, so they are given to the
few. The majority Of Us depend on our
power to be useful-determinedly use
ful-for our life's value And the daily
effort thus to live has made this world
and our national heritage much what
they are and give TO us.-New York
