The School Newspaper.

Did you ever try it? Then start now.7
1t is brought out by the school weekly
or monthly, as is seen fit. All the school
act as reporters, and collect items
Some write little stories and essays
but the main thing is school news. Y
The editors notes: "John Smith read n
fine composition on Courage last Fri
day. and was complimented by Mr..
Jones, our teacher" There should be
items about good conduct-this will
stimulate. We cannot go on to emu
merate. Will some teacher try one or
your success. The teacher will be
gratified to find some schOOl-hOme-
made brighter by it's efforts.-Canadian

Civil Government in Primary Schools.
About the time that the child goes to
school he begins to take lessons in civil
government This also is developed
ON the basis of his previous home
training. 1t begins at the very door
step. The letter carrier, the police
man, the justice of the peace, and the
postmaster introduce him to the gov
ernment of the outer world. Some or
all of these officers he sees and knows,
and others he hears about. The very
mail wagon that rattles along the
street teaches it's lesson, and so do 9th
er symbols of authority that confront
him-R A HinSdale

Manitoba is beginning to look Cum
fdently to the United. States for an
overflow of population to make the
vast plains of the northwest new ag-
ricultural empire. Basing their con-
clusions on the fact that the public
lands of the United States open to set
tlement are practically exhausted, the
Manitobans think that as the United
States now receives and has been re-
ceiting the surplus populations Of the
old world the surplus of the United
States will in turn overflow into Can
ada, especially into Manitoba, where it
is now much easier to obtain a farm
than in the United States. A number
of Canadian immigration societies have
already been established in this coun-
try and whether the Canadians are
right or not in their supposition they
seem to think they are obtaining the
,oycrfiOwing of the genuine American
population, people who want to own
their own homes, while their places are
taken in America by the continued in
fiux Of foreign immigration. The Klon-
dixie, the Wawa and the Kootenay gold
mines will also add to Canadas attract
iVeness and draw hardy and adventur-
0us men, many of whom will, SO the
Manitobans think, remain and become
citizens.

The indictment of six prominent Ken
tuckians by the grand jury at Frank
fort for ''poker-playing for money is
regarded by the Chicago Times-Herald
as another sign Of the decline of poker.
For better or worse, and without con-
sidering the ethics of gambling, it is ap-
parent to any one who will think Of Il
for a moment that poker is slowly but
surely going out of fashion. Before
the war everybody played it. The
statesman of those days was as well
known for his skill in opening jack
pot and the sayoir faire with which he
staked all of his possessions on his abil
ity to guess whether his opponent had
filled OR merely bluffed as for his fo-
rensic eloquence. After the war, the
game kept its hold on popular favor to
but a slightly diminished degree. But
gradually it has lost it's seductive pow
ers for American mankind, until now
hardly anybody plays it. While few
years ago poker was played in every
cluv, now it is forbidden by the rules
of most. Then, every hotel saw
dozen or more games in progress. Now
an order to the bell-boy TO bring cards
ana chips to the room is rare occur
renee. Then, everybody played, now
the same men find it difficult to recol-
lect when they last opened a lack pot"
The game, once 'gentleman's game"
has lost its favor, and with faro and
roulette has become a gamblers game,
played seldom by any one but profess

Mir D1ugiue was chief judge of the department of mining at the Worlds Fair. He now rep ressnts S.

 R. J. Patterson, who returned from White Hills last Thursday ev- ening, is thoroughly convinced that 1t is destined to become one of the greatest camps in Arizona and pos sibly on the Pacific coast. Every body there is busy. Carpenters are putting up buildings all over the town and workmen are grading out for the new forty stamp mill, near the Occident. About twenty-five big teams are hauling freight into the camp and loading back with ore. The new company undoubtedly will make the new silver camp a great place during the next four months. -Mohave Miner
 The San Francisco Evening Post announces the sale of the Guthths' consolidated gold mines, near Dia- mond Springs, Fl Dorado county, for two hundred thousand dollars. The purchaser is J. George Cow, who bought and successfully oPer- ated the Juniper mine. The Grif- 6ths consolidated Is to have q new plant. It is a promising mine on the mother lead and is now 40 feet down, and has many characteristics similar 10 the famous Rawhide mine.
 It is stated that the company which recently purchased the Stand ard and Buster mines, iu the Brad shaw mountains, from John Me Ksnzie, vii, shortly commence ac- tive operations working them. The Standard has a shaft down l40 feet and has levels run, the longest one being 140 feet. There is eight feet of ore which will plate Sl0 per ton and the concentrates will run Sl25 per ton. The Buster has a shaft down ninety feet and the longest level Is in ll0 feet. This claims also shows good ore, and in no place in either claim has the ore ever pinched out entirely.
