There is nothing in the world that en- sures success 8 completely as does per feet in1epen ienc9.

 The really successful men are those who defy cj:cIm 3tan;as; th159 who could earn living in any qItrter ot the globe in which they are dropped down; who can roll up their sleeves and set to work at almost anything that offers, and who can evel sex on their own buttons and make the n selves cup of coffee when deprived of the help of womaukind
 The successful women are those pho are not annihiIated when the servant girl goes off in a huff, and who, if plunged into the depth of poverty, could fgh, thelr way out of it without the help of a man.
 Independence makes no woman less loving. The most helpful women are fondest and truest; and as for man, never trust him if he has not within him the true spirit of independence, without which neither strength or sweetness may be hoped for.
 In the battle ot life there is but one way to success-fght it out yourself. Give the helping hand when you may Take it, if in some sore strait it is offered freely, but never wait for it. Be inde. pendent, as far as it IS possible fo- one to be, if you would honor yourself or be honored by others, or be happy.

In a recent letter to a Canadian friend
 MT. James Parkinson writes as follows of western Australia: ''If you could on. ly see our great mineral wealth as il exists here! When 100000 people can turn out of the bowels of the earth the largest annual output of gold in the world, as we shall now and henceforth, you would truly Say we are lucky peo. pie, and you would appreciate the mag nitude ot the output. 1 have been very prominent in aiding the development of the great mines of the west, and prog

Gan. Chas. Warren has this to say
 about Klondike: All this talk about
 Klondike being the richest country the
 world has known is bOsn Alder gulch, in Montana, produced 100000 000$ in gold and was probably the greate placer country ever discovered on earth. Virginia City, the old capital of Monta. ma, was located there. It was discovered in 1863, and 30,0OO COOS in gold was taken out of the sands the first year the mines were worked. In 1866 the Archie McGregor company secured , 900 0O0$ in 90 days off of Montana gnlch. They bought all the beer kegs there were in the coun'ry, put the gold in the kegs, hired 20 men with Henry rifles, built Mackinaw boats and floated down the Missouri river. Last Chance gulch, where Helena is situated, for many years never failed 10 take out as much wealth as the entire Alaska country h as taken. Take last year, and had silver been back to the old price, Montana would have produced as mnch wea'th as all Afrlca. s me people are inclined to gn wild over Alaska, but when it is remem bered that this shipment is the accumulated washings of six months there is not so much 10 blow about. Right here is mining country good enough for any man, and one that will be in it's prosperity when the klondk diggers are all broke Western Mining World

Conard's ears, or in his general makenp, the recognition between him and the burro seemed mutual and instantaneous. The animal stopped short and started an animated conversation with his ear flaps Recognizing the brand as that of his brother, Mir.
