A Club of Women who Are Pledged to

is a laudable one, no less a thing than
the cultivation and dissemination of
charity and good will No member is
to say an unkind word or to form a
harsh judgment Every member is to
take whatever comes with cheerful
serenity and make the st OF th. Z

spread abroad the club principles. II

tones she called out to the speaker:
"Buttercups!" IT, man didn't un-

he shouldn't intuitively grasp the

looked puzzled and went on with his
speech, but later be ask d the sign.fi-

A filed his certificate OF location in
May, 1902, but did not make a discovery
until April, 1894, at which time he re-
located the premises. Before such dis
covery another discovery was made and
the claim located. The court held that
the discovery by A would not relate back
to the time of the filing OF the original
certificate Of location, so as to cut out
intervening right, and hence such origi
nal certificate Of location was not nd
missible in evidence against the other
