Claude Batallieur was in during the past week from Skinnerville, the cop per camp beyond Dripping Springs, where he ownes mines which, accord ing to good judges are big proposi- tions and the ore is of good grade. A good deal of development work has been done on the property, which shows up the ore to advantage. Batal- lieur also owns copper mines on Pinto creek in the western part of Globe, district, which surpasses anything in that section for the amount of good ore in sight, which is saying a good deal, as pinto creek is noted for the size of its lodges and variety of min. erals.-[Silver Belt.

Pull together, brethren; we are all here for the same purpose. Then live and let live. The best way to build up thriving town is for each and every man to pull together and not strive to rend and tear down. All the residents of town are partners, not opponents. In all likelihood the more business done by your rival the more you will do. Every merchant who treats his customers honestly and fairly will get his share, and the more business that can be secured by united efforts the better it will be for all. When town ceases to grow it com mences to die, and the more people try to kill each other of in business and good name, the more rapidly will utter ruin come to all.

The psrnioIous erumslInu Habit.


 Do not let your child acquire the habit of grumbling. Stop the first beginning and it will never become 8 habit. If there is just cause of complaint, try to remedy it; if there is no possibility of improvement, teach that silent endurance is the best way to meet the inevitable. It is never wise to stay in a place and grumble. If the things you dislike cannot be altered, change your environment. If on reflection you decide that, balancing one thing with another, you would rather bear the ills you know than fly to others that you know not of, bear them in silence.-February Ladies' Home Journal.

 Potatoes with will; I Iwished the granar grooming With corn to go to mill. While other farmers wished for A good supply of rain. thought it as sound logic To wish for fruit and grain. And so I went on wishing, Contsnted with my lot, In autumn no potatoes
 Were boiling in my pot. I tell you I'd discovered
 That wishing only breeds Keen disappointment; ishing Won't pull up choking weeds; It won't hoe corn in summer, Or husk it in the fall; l tell you, boys, that wishing Won't run farm at all. That winter my potatoes I had to go and buy Right from my smiling neigbbors, Who had good supply. They'd sEyly nudge their elbows, And taunf me with laugh, Iris labor's wheat that's golden. And speculation chaff. 1 learned this goodly lesson And in my heart it seems One day of honest labor
 Is worth ten years of dreams. And now in idly wishing.
