CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
GIVING, A MEASURE Or Love.
October 20. Mark 12;41-44

The poor widow at the treasury gate
stands as the highest exponent OF
Christian giving. To her the standard
of giving was the love she bore to the
Lord. This benevolent woman was, pro-
baby, not disciple OF Christ, IN the
ordinary acceptation of the term. She
was, in all likelihood, a worshiper &C
cording to the rites of the old dispen-
sation. But she furnishes an example to
be followed In the most sacred precints
of the new. She, of all the givers,
caught the attention Of the Master.
There were larger givers, for "many
that were rich cast in much" and we
have no reason to think that they were
mean and ungenerous, But, on the other
hand, proportionately she was far tie
greatest giver, although the sum total
OF her contribution was but nero
pttance. Wherever the gospel OF The
kingdom is preached, this that she hath
done shall be mentioned as memorla
to her conservation and lf-denial.
God has given unto us unnumbered
blessings and opportunities. In return
we ought to remember him. Giving is
duty, and it onght to be privilege
in the estimation of Christian people.
Often, however, it is deemed burden,
and it is borne with extreme impati-
enoe-indeed, in many instances, it is
wholly ignored and discardedb by social
ed Christian disciples:
Giving should not be hap-hazard,
but systematic. We ought to conduct
religious things on business principles
In Church work, the expenses go on
without intermission: and the receipts
ought to come in with equal regularity.
All should give, and give definite sums
at definite times
Giving should, also, be proportionate.
A certain portion of our income should
be consecarted unto the Lord. The
"tenth legion" is to be commended to
the attention Of all Christian people.
Many more should join it, and all should
aim to give at least one tenth to God.
This was the old Hebrew standard; and
we ought to reach as high as that
many Of US ought TO go far beyond it.

Il you could cast away the pain,
The SORROWS, and the tears,
And let the joys alone remain,
From all departed years;
If you could quite forget the signs
And rccollect the song
What think you; would you be as wise,
AS helpful, or as strong?
If you could lay the burden down
That bows your head at whiles,
Shun everything that wears tEown
And live life Of smiles;
Be happy as child again,
AS free as thoughts Of care
Would you appear to Other men
More noble or more fair?
An, no. man should do his part
And carry all his load,
Rejoiced to share with every heart
The roughtnoss of the road;
Not given TO thinking overmuch
Ofpains and griefs behind,
But glad to be in fullest touch
With all his human kind.

Room for Many Claims.

Old miners and scientific experts agree
that there is room for from 10000 to
100, 900 claims Of promise to be yet loca
ted i'll the vast district SAYS Col. Bracket
The chances Of fortune are but Just begun
Scores of fanatic men have lately rushed
into the Hump and have made "snow 10
cations" as they call them. These men
lose their time in this business, and many
may loose their lives. No valid location
Of a quartz claim can he made under our
laws until there is a discovery" on the
ledge or vein of mineral in the place.
The "suow locators" will find, too, they
are often on top of the claims already To-
Gated last fall. There is where they run
the chance of having their heirs collect
their life insurances, if they have any.
Some people ought to have their lives in
sured. They are otherwise unjust to
their families.
There will probably be 10000 men i'll
this region as soon as SNOW begins to go
about June IS next.
1t is an opportunity that has been sell
dom paralleled i'll any mining history
and will give an impetus a, d growth 10
this part of Idaho that has been looked
forward to by many well-inforlned mining
men for thirty years. Where it would
strike aud just how, they did not know
but they knew it would come in due time
somewhere here.

The Price of Wheat.

While crop failure in any part of the
world is To be deplored because OF The
distress eutailed upon the people OF the
locality affected, there is always satisiac-
tion i'll knowing that some other portion
of the world gains by the shortage Says
the Spokesmau-R Review. The scarcity OF
wheat i'll India in 1897 brought more or
lass misery To the inhabitants of the dis
trict 10 which nature had Temporarily
frowned upon, but there wasa measure of
compensation in the gladness ii brought
to the hearts of struggling wheatgrowers
elsewhere.
Indications point to another wheat fail
ure although not SO extensive as that re-
corded two years ago Cablegrams an
nounce that the winter crop of southern
Russia had been completely destroyed by
protracted drought and that the spring
wheat was in jeopardy from the same
cause A failure of the crop i'll Russia
now one of the granaries of the world,
must necessary have its effect upon the
markets of both hemispheres aud no
other country will he more deeply CON
cerned i'll the trend of prices than the
United States.
Already the briefreports received have
had a tendency to put up wheat quota
tions, the rise i'll Chicago approaching to
50 cents. Confirmation OF the news oi a
Russian shortage will perhaps be neces-
sary before steady and permanent price
sets in, but if it actually proves true that
blight has struck the wheat OF the Black
Sea provinces, the American cereal is
likely to take very decided jump up
ward.

A Daring Burglary.

On Thursday night the J. S. Cox store
was entered by burglars. The alarm was
given by an employe of the Clearwater
lodging house who discovered man
street. He saw one man force an en-
terance and another stood outside as if to
protect the man inside. Officer Hutch
enson was summoned and he arrested
the sentinel without attracting the atten
ton of the man who was busily filling
his big pockets with Doodle in the build
ing. watch was set over the store
while IIutcheson took his first catch to
Jail.
In the meantime night watchman Gil
man was called. He stood at the un-
locked door while some assistant ratified
a door at the other end of the building.
The alarm caused the thief to make a
break for liberty and i'll his blind rush he
ran into the arms of the officer. His
pockets were stuffed with watches
carried fixed the crime upon him without
doubt.
The men were arraigned before Judge
Sweet Friday morning and their hearing
was postponed till next Monday. They
are strangers i'll the city. 1t is believed
they came with the rush of imported
railroaders who are flooding the country.
They were just drunk enough to make
them bold.

but he favors the Nicaraugan canal and
believes ii will be constructed and CON
trolled by the United States. He does
not believe an extra session will he called
although authorities are divided on the
question. 1t was believed for time
that an extra session would be absolutely
necessary but conditions have changed
materially in the past six weeks
When attention was called to the
resignation Of Captain Fisher, the Nez
Perce Indian agent, he had locked into
the matter and i'll conversation with
Senator Shoup's private secretary he
learned that the resignation was in the
hands of the department and that c. +.

Another New Quartz District.

The discoveries of big quartz lcdges in
the immediate vicinity of Fish Lake,
about six miles southeast of Buffalo Hump
are of such a character as TO justify the
belief that good camp is bound 10 be
developed there.
The first discoveries were made i'll that
section last fall by S. A. Moon, we'll
known prospector who has spent 20 years
i'll these mountains. The ledges average
90 feet in width and stand from three to
FIVE feet above the surface. What little
work has been done shows the ledge
matter to be quartz and schist stratihed
aud gives by assay gold values TO the
amount of $500 per ton, while as high
as SEQ per ton in gold have been obtained
from assays of the best looking groupings
Martin Wagner, cashier Of the Bank oi
Grangevlle, is associated with Mr.. Moon
i'll the ownership of four quartz claims
the WaiIita, Wellington, Bozo and
Winona, also the Reno placer claim. II
is from these quartz claims, that the fore
going values were obtained.
| John Sandy. another veteran prospectoi
has very recently made some discoverie'
great promise, adjoining the Moon and
Wagner group, and has made two loca
! tions which he calls the IIecla and
| Edison. These ledges are 80 wide feet
with fostwall OF porphyry. The Edison
gives values of si4 per ton in gold by as
| say.
| Fish Lake is another Of the sections
which offer exceptional facilities and al.
vantages for the pro.pector ia search OF q
new district. Ii is on a direct line be
tween Elk City, Relief creek am Buffalo
Hump and is on the same great mineral
zone which is known to traverse that sec
ton. Fish Lake has long been kuowr
as an ideal sporting locality, the woods
being full Of big game and and the LAX,
ITSELF teeming with trout In fact, it i
hardly a figure ofspeech TO say that th'
trout are 81 plentiful i'll that lovely body
of water that You can kill them by throw

Correct Mine Locations.

"But, perhaps, the most glaring and
inexcusable neglect of prospectors is that
they do not tie their claims to any fixed
monument" says Attorney Bierbower,
of Grangeville. "Of the records of
claims now before me ten ont of the
twelve are defective in this respect.
"Our supreme court has twice decided
that such locations are not good. II
seems incomprehensibl that our pros
pectors, who are invariably intet ligent
men, large proportion Of them are
lawyers and collegiate graduates, should
so persistently ignore the law, and the
law is plain in this case. II is only when
they attempt to bond or sell their claims
that they find out that their locations
are not good. Then they must file
locations, and very often they
lind that some other fellow has i'll the
meantime correctly located portion of
their claims,'

From private kilograms il is learned
that the town of Republic, the new mining
camp i'll Stephen county about eight miles
from Spokane was almost wholly destroy.
ed by fire this forenoon.
The town was built of wood crowded
together over about halfa mile in a
narrow stripe.
The Republic mill is across the creek
rom the town and probably will be safe
fro the fire, There are stores, hotels, all
kinds of shops and residences III the
crowded district and they are probably all
destroyed. The loss will fall upon all
