''Since the publication in the Inter
Mountain Saturday OF the partial closing
down of the Butte X Boston properties,
considerable speculation has been in.

Tor the suspension of work.

one of the representatives of the Lewis

not have to give reasons 10 the public.
The Silver Bow No. | has been the
greatest OF the producers of the Butte X
Boston company, the average produc-
ton being about 10000 tons Der month.

men employed by the company at this
mine that the greater portion oil the rich
ore which was hoisted through the Sill

vania, an adjoining property which il
operated by the Boston 4 Montana. As
the stockholders in both companies are
almost the same it il not likely that the

port was true.
The Gray Rock was the second great.

The suit now pending in the courts in
which the Gray Rock people are charged
with trespass on the Wild Bill, suspended
work ut the property several weeks ago
and il has been idle since.
The Blue Jay, the youngest of the
company's producers, yielded about 81
600 tons per month, but with better
equipment was capable of doubling, its
product. The Silver Bow No. has been
working but small crew for several
months and It's production would not ex-

SOME PLURALs.

Well begin with a box. and the plural
is boxes,
But the plural of OK should be oxen,
not oXes;
Then one fowl is goose, but two are
called geese,
Yet the plural of mouse should never
be meese.
You may find lone mouse or whole
nest of mice,
But the plural of house is houses, not
hice.
If the plural of man is always called
men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be
called pen?
The cow in the plural may be cows or
kline,
But COW if repeated is never called
kline;
And the plural of vow is vows, never
vine.
If l speak of a foot and you show me
your feet,
And give you boot, would pair be
called beet?
If one is tooth, and whole set are
teeth.
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be
called beeth?
If the singular's this and the plural is
these,
Should the plural of kiss ever be nick
named keese?
Then one may be that and three would
be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be
hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of brother, and also OF
brethren,
But though we say mother, we never
say methren;
Then the masculine pronouns are he,
his and him,
But imagine the feminine, she, shis and
SHIN.
So the English, l think you all will
agree,
Is the queerest language you ever did
see. Boston Commonwealth.

A POPULAR PASTOR.

From the News, Jonesboro, Ga.
\ reporter of the News called at the
residence of Rev. L. VI. Lyle, the popu-
lar pastor of the Methodist Church of
this place (Jonesboro, Ga last week.
and in reply to a question from the
scribe he said:
4 was born near Jefferson County,
Ga, in 1913, and was reared and edu-
Gated in Athens. In April, 1861, shortly
after the first guns of the great rebel
lion were sounded, l entered the Con-
federate army and served four years.
Shortly after that l joined the con-
ference Of the NJ. E. Church South, and
IN March. 1857, while near Prince Fred
erick. Maryland, was caught in the
great blizzard and nearly frozen to
death. Soon after that my health be-
gan to fail and I realized that unless
something was done quickly l should
soon be helpless with disease.
I had some time previous TO this
been affected with kidney trouble, and
after using many remedies without re-
lief found & cure in DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. So I thought
would give them another trial, and ac-
cordingly purchased a box and began
taking them, and change for the bet
ter was az once perceptible.
The kidney complaint is nov cured,
yet We always keep the pills in the
house. as I believe them to be superior
to any other medicine for impoverish-
mani IF tho blood and uarv-orrc ax

We have since used them in our
family for nervous prostration and af-
ter severe cases of typhoid fever, and in
each case they proved to be all that is
claimed for them I sound their praises
wherever go, for they are worth their
weight in gold. l take great pleasure
in adding my testimonial as to the viz

boro for some time, and is pastor of

TRUST THE CHILDREN.

Trust the children. Never doubt them,
Build wall of love about them;
After sowing seeds of duty,
Trust them for the flowers of beauty.
Trust the children. Don't suspect
them;
Let your confidence direct them,
AT the hearth or in the wildwood,
Meet them on the plane of childhood.
Trust the little ones. Remember
May is not like chill December.
Let no words of rage or madness
Check their happy notes of gladness.
Trust the little ones. You guide them,
And, above all, ne'er deride them
Should they trip or should they blum
der,
Lest you snap loves cords asunder.
Trust the children. Let them treasure
Mothers faith in boundless measure,
Fathers love in them confiding.
Then no secrets they'll be hiding.
Trust the children, just as He did,
Who for such" once sweetly pleaded
Trust and guide, but never doubt them;
Build a wall of love about them.

HERE AND NOW.

Here in the heart of this world,
Here in the noise and the din,
Here where our spirits were hurled
To battle with sorrow and sin.
This is the place and the spot,
For knowledge of infinite things;
This is the kingdom where Thought
Can conquer the prowess of kings.
Wait for no heavenly life,
Seek for no temple alone:
Here in the midst of the strife
Know what the sages have known
See what the Perfect One saw,
God in the depths of each soul;
God as the Light and the Law.
God as beginning and goal.
Earth is one chamber of Heaven,
Death is no grander than birth;
Joy is the life that is given,
Strive for perfection on earth.
Here is the turmoil and roar,
Show what it is 10 be calm;
Show how the spirit can soar,
And bring back healing and balm.
Stand not aloof or apart,
Plunge in the thick of the fight;
There in the street and the mart,
That is the place to do right,
Not in some cloister or cave.
Not in some kingdom above;

Here should We Iabhr and Iove

Iieved To BE Immense.
The Astors- William Waldorf and John
Jaoob-are undoubtedly the largest inda-
vidual owners of real estate In Gotham.
Like the founder of their house, they nave
always regarded city land as the best ana
safest investment. Old John Jacob nrst
became real estate owner In 1883 when
he bought for e26 lot OF land on the
Bowery near Elizabeth street Twenty
one years later he was the largest holder
OF real estate In town, and his descendants
have ever since kept the lead In this TO
spect In 1885 he sold the Astor House
for 81. William b. Aston had expressed .
desire to own II, whereupon John jacob
told him that he would sell IL to him for
the amount named The bargain WAS con-
cluded ON the spot. The greatest care has
always been taken to keep the exact value
of the Astor estate from becoming public
When John Jacob stor died, he was said
TO be worth $50, 600, 900. At William Is
Astor's death 1t was reputed that he was
worth 500, 900, 900, but this estimate has
been declared too low. A few millions
could be- added with safety at present, and
every hour increases the valuation.
Ever since 1871 the Astor family has
been putting its spare change into Man
haitian Island real estate. Rents which
accrued were reinvested with particular
view to the location of the property. John
Jacob and William Waldorf have continued
to make investments in Harlem and the
new annexed district within a few years.
They keep a sharp eye on the trend OF
trade and the growth of new districts
One real estate authority, In speaking
about the Aston land holdings, said that
south of Eighty sixth street It included 70
acres of soil solidly built up. Yet this
large amount Of property does not amount
To more than half Of the Astor estate,
which owns land and buildings around
Jerome park and along Riverside drive
and the boulevard 1t Is the business GUS
tom of the Astors To give leaseholds Of III
years, on which the lessees build, the lease
being subject to renewal at the end OF III
years Oh reappraisement. The ground
rents for these properties go to the es-
tate, but on the assessment books the
property does not appear In the name OF
the Astors. That's why their great wealth
is not getatable by those people who are
always poking their noses into the private
affairs of other people. New York Letter
