It is certain that a trade reciprocity treaty with our neighbor to the north is desirable-neeessary, ill fact. This is especially so in view of tbe intimate re- lations that will arise between the two countries in consequence of the recent tremendous gold discoveries both in Alaska and in the British Northwest Territories. There will be constant pass ing and rcpassing the borders of both countries hy miners with their packs and business men and manufacturers with their outfits. Goods purchased across the border in either nation will be scanned with the closest scrutiny, and if the customs official is at all in- clined to be i'll natured they will be taxed to the utmost Already there are grievous complaints from American miners who have crossed into British territory on the way to the Klondike with outfits purchased this side of the line In some cases these outfits have been taxed so heavily that it waa cheap CT to throw them away than to pay the heavy duty. Complaints similar in character have also como from Canadi- an miners and business men who had occasion to cross into Alaska.
 The utmost courtesy and good nature, a spirit of entire willingness on the part of each nation to give as good advan- tages as it receives, will be necessary to frame Q reciprocity agreement that will bear evenly on all. The worst obstacle in the way of such D reciprocal trade agreement is the warning of petty local interests both sides of the line These should be ignored in the framing of the treaty and the good of the whole eoun- try considered. It is not a case where ono party to the treaty must or wishes to gain an advantage over the other. It is 0 case for an arrangement mutually profitable to both. In this light let our congress and the Canadian parliament regard it.

 These figures are chiefly signif- cant as indicating where, what is called by some, "the surplus money of the Nation is to be found, rather than as demonstration of the necessity for more and safer means for deposits, as the secretary would have them used.

What to Be Most Thankful For.

The lady who said she always had a good time because she always carried her own good time with her had hit upon the universal open secret of hap piness. It is the being so firmly braeed within one's own mind that no outside circumstance or misfortune can shake our steadfast serenity and happiness. To a mind that has learned thus to find its own good times in itself disaster, fire, flood, famine, pestilence and death have no terrors. Tbat such Q mental state is possible has been shown over and again. Christian martyrs have sung with joy in the flames. Those who have died for liberty or a great principle have gone out of life with their eyes full of the sunlight of the eternal That somo minds can overcome outside cireum- stances to such an extent proves the pos sibility to exist in all minds.
 Most mortals believe that if they had this or that change in their outside liyes-if they were rich, if they were in tho so called first social rank, if their domestic affairs were differont-thoy would bo happy. They are wrong, dead wrong. Happiness is in ourselves, and ourselves only. There is Q power in every human being which will enable him to control his own health and hap piness and even his outward circum- stances. The calm, intelligent will, the immoyably kind temper, a just, geper- ous nature, will in time gain for hu- man being all of good that man needs or wants here below Happy already is the one who has even partially developed these clements of happiness within him self. He is the individual who has more to be thankful for than anybody else

HanDiness.

We hear a great deal now a days aboutunhappiness, nervous men, ner- vous women and nervous children, and we have class of materiaistic philosophers inquiring "ls Life Worth the Living2a
 Why this unhappiness, nervous ness aud materialism? Is it real CT unreal; natural or acquired? The world was not once won't to be so. Then we are led to believe that it is largely the outgrowth of our civili- zation-the result of artificial condi- tions. The Indian savage surround ed with luxuriant foliage and forest, with only his wigwam to stand be tween him and natures clements, and wrapt in the solitude of his own ignorance, was no victim of nervous ness or melancholia. Neither was the white man in the earlier stages of his development. This widespread unhappiness is a nervous outgrowth Of our nineteenth century civiliza- tion. It is due to mans unsuitable greed, inordinate ambition or his wanton violation of the laws of God and man. Unhappiness is psychic al condition. It is the mental out  growth of distorted or unbalanc- ed intellect. True, there are some times unavoidable conditions pro ductive of unhappiness, but these are the exceptions which prove the rule. Unhappiness, as usual thing, is the result of nervousness superinduced by mental worry, phys ical exhaustion, inordinate appe- tites and passions, or moral delln- quencies. Avoid nervousness and one will take long stride toward happiness. Be cheerful, look on the bright side of life, reflect how much happier your lot than some of the less fortunate around you, speak kindly of your friends and neigh bors, leave unspoken i'll tempered thoughts, avoid worry or the occa sion for remorse, and one can b happy.
 After all, happiness or unhappi
 ness is usually of ones own making

The German Admiral Diederichs took possession of the three forts on Kiao-Chau bay, province of shangtung, China, be- cause the natives had murdered two Ger man missionaries. Shangtung is a prov inco jutting out into tho Yellow sea, and it is one of the richest and most densely populated in all China. The harbor of Kiao-Chau bay is deep and wide enough to hold the navies of tho world. If Chi na were a strong nation, the act of Ad- miral Diederichs would be the signal for immediate war between the two coun- tries But being nation unable to cope with modern methods of fighting China must submit to the browbeating and in suits of the arrogant emperor of Ger many.

The late Dr. Thomas W. Evans, the American dentist of Paris, was made famous because of planning and carry ing out the romantic escape of Empress Eugenio from France after the battle of Sedan. It is not so generally known that he was the first to organize the in ternational Red Cross society and that he left his lucrative dental practice among tho crowned heads of Europe to como and establish the United States sanitary commission in aid of the army during OUT civil war. One fact in his life, however, gees to prove him a more remarkable man than either of the above named achievements makes him out to be. It is tho fact that he never recovered from the grief and shock caused by tho death of his wife.

These tables show that in the Basi there are fourteen times more mon. ey locked up in deposits than we have in our Southern banks. Ol course large portions of these de- posits are placed in circulation again by the banks, but a goodly part re mains in the vaults. The degree or extent of deposits indicates the de gree or extent of the surplus funds of the respective sections, and it is easy therefore to see why the East should continue to talk of a "a plethora, q su1iciency, of money, or of stoo much money,@ in the country.
 One of our chief financial ills is this unequal distribution of the cir eulation medium. We were assured by the Mckinley following last year that a goIdbug success would result in large enterprises and investments of Eastern capital in the South and West and consequently the wider distribution of money, but these bright and seductive promises have not been kept. The release of the funds has not yet occurred. Nor will the equal distribution ever oc- eur under a system that permits and encourages the accumulation of funds in the hands of those who hold money for big speeulations, render ed possible and profitable by the conditions of trust-ridden trade and an embarrassed treasury. Un- der the present financial system and industrial status of the Nation mon ey as naturally seeks Eastern vaults as water runs down hill. The post master generals figures are another demonstration of this truth.
