T F there's any one sea-
Il son of the whole
year when an Um-
brella is absolutely neces.
sary it is the six weeks
between the middle of
March and May first.
When the heavy rain
storms are over showers
will begin-and continue
so an Umbrella should
be constant companion
from now on. Our UNI
brellas department is pre-
pared to supply any de-
mand that may be made
upon it.
There's an assortment
of kinds that is bound to
contain the one to suit
your EXTREMIST notion,
no matter how critical
you may be. A dollar
buys a pretty good one,
quite as strong as any,
looks we'll and will wear
well. If you prefer not
to burden your memory
with the care of an Um-
brella these dollar ones
are plenty good enough
to lose.
For $3.50 a much finer
one, finer cloth, better
handle, more ribs to the
frame, a more elaborate
get-up in all ways.
AT S2.oo, 800, 400 and
500 there's an easy rise
in the quality of cover
ing or the elegance of

Told of a Royal Lad.

A writer in London Telegraph tells the following story about the king of Spain as throwing light on that royal lads life: "One day. during his history lesson, the king asked his professor to tell him how Spain came to lose Chile, Mexico and other Spanish-American colonies. The story was narrated so thrillingly and artistically that the royal boy listened spellbound and con- tinued after it had ended to sit ab- sorbed in meditation. At last a thought having struck him, he looked up to his professor and inquired; What must I do in order to get back these countries for Spaln?' The first and most im- portant thing of all,' replied the eau tious and diplomatic pedagogue, is that your majesty should-should- grow up to be man. When you are z man I'm" muttered the lad, disen- chanted, 'wben I'm a man it is not a history professors advice that I shall be asking. I shall have a prime min lister to tell me them"

Takes as Much Time Over Sixteen
 Cent Bill as Any Others.
 A grtzzled veteran of two big wars and several smaller Indian combats, was relating stories of his experience while tn the service Gf Uncle Sam. One of them that will show your Un- cle Samuel one of the real business men of the world is told by the vet eran, as follows: .I went through the civil war, and rose from the vol unteer ranks to a first-lieutenancy, and was assigned to the regular army. In June, 1873. while attached to the quartermaster's department of my troop I disposed of some oil to private parties. In selling the oil I sold one gallon more than I had, and turned the money over to headquarters be- fore ] discovered my mistake. I then wrote the department at Washington asking it to return the price of the oil, so that I might have my accounts strengthened. As only sixteen cents was involved I thought the matter would end by the return mail bringing back the amount of the claim. h that I was much mistaken, as am still forced to answer documents that read In reply to yours of June, 1873, and so on and so forth, till I have in my possession stack of documents weighing not less than fifty pounds, and still they come"

these young men it cannot be de- nied1 came from some of our best families, and surrounded by such home life influences as they should be. their characters should be clothed with whited garments beftting true and exalted state in society. That a boy should leave 8 noble mothers side, perhaps with his lips still moist with dew from fond kiss by sister fair implanted, and enter such resorts as mentioned above, is strange indeed. That young man should go from a tender parting with eyes that look the very hope aud confidence 50 deeply buried in the idol of heart that's true, from that little girl who ans wefs to that endearing name of sweetheart. ' and whose life is as innocent and pure and sweet as the butt0n-hole emblem he carries away, and which is the work of loves own fngers-go out into such an atm mosphere as sur rounds the.erap table, is an act that needs very much his consideration. He needs to feel often and most keenly the wounds of a friend.

.Faithful are the wounds of a friend
BY R. J. WILSON

Faithful are the wounds of a friend.
 IN single word may lie gathered
 together so many thoughts, pure, and grand, and ennobling. In a single sentence may be eouched a sermon of great length, & song of exceeding beauty. And it is not always the most high-sounding word, or the longest sentence that contains the most. Multum in par vu more often is the case. It is the little word, the simple sentence that conveys the greater meaning. The little bird sings, and we pause and listen, so sweet. and tender, and inspiring is it's song; and the mur- mur of the little brook is more mu- sieal by far than the swish of the mighty river, or the beat of the waves upon the seashore. It is not in dimension, or number. but kind, that merit lies. little act, unpre- tentioas though it be, and at the time of execution seems most simple and commonplace, may bear fruit Hong after the time and the place, and the circumstances bringing it about, have been forgotten.

The Greenwood (Ark.) Democrat

The Greenwood (Ark) Democrat wisely remarks: "In the candida cy of Judge Bryant for gubernato, rial honors. the state has an offer of the services of gentleman whose abilities to fill an office of this nature are far above those of any previous aspirant Cor that office. His strong characteristics of man. hood, his scholarly education, and his past political nonors make him far above any of the present aspi- rants for that position. Arkansas cannot elect better governor than Edgar E Bryant. :"

The above quotation-"F Faithful are the wounds of a friend'-is a short and simple sentence; yet to what depths does it reach. From it could be drawn volume rich in store and massive in size, and still it's wealth be not overdrawn. John Greenlief Whittier, in a letter to Gail Hamilton, uses this quotation; and one acquainted with the lives and writings of these two gifted people, can partially understand the length, and breadth. and depth-the force and weight-of the words. But. to fully understand this, we must come down to and make a careful survey of our own surround ings-of what we see, and hesr, and experience.

Life is full of temptations, and where youth is concerned great dip- lomaey should be used-great care and caution should be had. The true and beautiful can best Joe appreci- ated by comparison. The simpler minds must be educated up to the desired status, and while the impress sionable quality must be retained, they are also to be made elastic by repeated rehearsals of the real and unreal. Place the pure alongside the Impure, and let the proper ligEt-be thrown on each, and the contrast is so great that very few who have reached the age of accountability will err in choosing. Tn this way will purity be upheld and impurity shown in all its hideousness, will virtue be enthroned and vice cast down to it's proper level

INCREASE
IN OUTPUT
OF COPPER MINES WILL BE VERY
SMALL DURING PRESENT
YEAR.
THE BUTTE MINES
HAVE INCREASED OUTPUT.
Brt the Worlds Mines Fail to Show
the Usual Ten Per Cent-Conc--
ton of Copper Market.

Although it is very generally conceo-
ed that the Butte copper mines VIII snow
an increased output for 1900, 1t is now
demonstrated fact that the worlds
mines will fail to make their nsual ~
ner cent increase in production TINS year
In the first ten months OF this year. the
reporting mines of the United states pro-
duaed 2a3. 397 tons of copper. This COM
nares with al5,.O tons produced in the
corresponding period last year, an IN
crease Of only S,1S6 tons. In the same
period foreign reporting mines produceu
1856 tons, a decrease of 7SS tons from
last wear. The net increase. therefore, Is
only 1898 tons. or approximately 21a per
! cent. To hav kept pace with the raplais
srowing consumption of copper the IN
cro,sa should have amounted to at least
%. 900 tons.
Notwithstanding that this is the season
of the wear that is usual the dullest,
the copper market continues strong.
Consumers are always inclined to hang
back in December. as they prefer to awe
the record of purchases go on the BOOKS
Of the new year. This has resulted IN a
decrease in the volume of business dur
ing the EAST week. .
Lake copper has continued to sell at
Il cents per pound in New York, ana
producers have shown no disposition 10
sell freely, even at hat price. In Lon
don prices sagsed a tritie during the
week, The decline was more pronounced
in futures than in spot, indicating the
continuance of the former excellent con-
sunl0.ive demand. Firmer monetary
conditions may have contributed some
what to the slight weakening of the for
eign market. The export demand mas
not been quite so strong Of late. and the
report Of the foreign visible supply OF
copper December 1 again showed a de-
crease.
j. is important to note that the many
contracts now being let by the govern
ment for new war vessels provide II
every case that the vessels shall be cop
pered. This means not a small addition
al consumption OF the red metal.
Good authorities are predicting an ad
vance in the copper market immediatel,
after the beginning of the new year.
