Since there is renewal of operations on
placer and quartz mining i'll the Pierce
district, Idaho, there is much speculation
as TO the gold output of the camp for the
year. Last season II was estimated that
about Sl50,00O was shipped from the dis
.rict. While on this seasons output the
date Is estimated ut from 100000 10 $50
600 Regarding this, 4. NJ. Ellis, the own
er of valuable property i'll the district,
said: at Is difficult matter To figure
on, because the gold dust is shipped TO
di lcrcnt points, to Spokane, Boise, Salt
Lake City and San Francisco, to business
houses and other places. Then the Chi
nese who number about 100, are shrewd
miners and never tell what their earnings
are. but | think that the total will be
above the $50 .OoO mark. There should be
"A law requiring every man who ships dust
to register it 50 that the public could KEEP
posted on the progress of the different
camps. AS it is, We can only e,tmat,
from our personal knowledge OF the differ
ent clean ups what is being done" Dur
ing the summer when there was plenty
of water it was estimated that the gold
shipments from the camp would re;urt
! $1,000 weekly.

WHEN SORROW CAME.

when sorrow came, did not look
For any visitor that day.
But in beside the ingle-nook
She slipped in calm, familiar way,
As one, dear and privileged guest,
Who pushes wide door ajar,
And, seeking only friendly rest,
Sits down where all the kindred are.
And first surprised. scarcely knew
A word to greet the stranger face;
There crept q numbing shadow through
The brightness of my dwelling place.
81 dumb her lips, so yelled her eyes,
30 chill the hand in mine she laid,
The sunshine vanished from the skies,
And in the cloud knelt, afraid.
But sorrow stayed, until heard,
In that bushed silence round her drawn,
Voices more sweet than song of bird,
The tender tones of loved ones gone.
And f1oa ting from the silvern shore,
Whereon the ransomed walk serene,
Came watts of fragrance blown before
The angels as they hither lean.
Then, swift transf1gured, sorrow turned.
Her look was wonderful to see;
My very soul within me burned,
For Love in sorrow died for me.
And Love appoints my sorrow still.
And sacramental cups are poured
Where and sorrow, If God will,
Meet and hold tryst with my dear Lord.

PRACTICAL KINDNESS.
One Hundred Thousand Grateful SOL
dierS.

These war times have tried mems souls
in many. unexpected ways, but like shaft
Of sunshine and good cheer out of the cloud
OF privation and endurance has been the
work that The American Tobacco Co. has
done among the u. S. Soldiers and Sailors
ever since the war began-for when they
discovered that the camps and hospitals
were not supplied with tobacco they de-
clded to provide them, free of cost, with
enough for every man, and have already
given outright to our Soldiers and Sailors
over one hundred thousand pounds of "Bat-
Ak Plug" and Dukes Mixture" Smoking
Iobacco, and have bought and distributed
fifty thousand briar wood pipes, at total
cost of between fifty and sixty thousand dol
lars.
This work has been done quietly and
thoroughly, by establishing headquarters
in each camp, so that every camp and every
hospital of the United States Army has
been supplied with enough tobacco for
every man and the sailors on thirty
United States Ships in Cuban waters have
shared with the soldiers this most welcome
OF all "rations."
Perhaps it will be only fair to remember
when we hear. the remark again that
Corporations have no SOULS" that there
is one American corporation whose soul
has been tried and has not been found
wanting in "practical Kindness"

Regretted His Client Had Not Beea
Struck by a Trolley Car.
A Brooklyn man who had the mis-
fortune to break his arm by tripping
over curbstone and falling upon the
limb, consulted leading lawyer of
that borough to see if he could not re-
cover damages from the city for the
accident. The lawyer heard the de-
tails, and then said:
II do not think there is any law
by which man could recover damages
for not lifting his foot high enough
In recent case contractor had lift
ed fagstone on the sidewalk and
turned it over, leaving hole where it
had been originally, and double thick.
ness of stone where it rested.
"A woman came along, stepped ia
the hole, fell, and broke her leg. She
sued the contractor and received ver-
dict of ST 900 damages, but he appealed,
and the appellate court reversed the
verdict on the ground that she should
have looked where she was stepping"
The client said that he thought the
curbstone was too high, but the law
yer replied that he did not know of any
law that regulated the height of u
curbstone. Then the man of law got
warmed up to the subject and said:
''Now, If you had only been hit by a
trolley car, we could have got good
verdict against the company. I have
just recovered verdict for woman
who had both legs broken by being run
over by trolley car. 1t is pity that
you were not hurt that way"
Then as he bowed his astonished eli.
ent out Of the office, he said:
"Now, remember, next time you get
hit by trolley car."-N. Y. Times.
