in this capacity and not only proved
his efficiency as worker, but his tx
cellent ability 20 organize and lead
men. SO well did he succeed that for
the last two years OF his labor in that
capacity he raised more money than
any Of his three associates. To the
third year of his missionary work he
was invited to accept the pastoral
care of the First Baptist church of
Charlotte. n. c., which was famous for
IFS reputation, having been blessed with
the leadership of some Of the ablest
divines in the State. After much
prayer and meditation he decided to
undertake the work. Entering upon
the work in October 1898, he found
the church heavily in debt, but he
went forward hopefully trying to
change the condition, which hope has
been realized, at least in part. The
entire Indebtedness has been cancelled
and the church has now nice bank
account. In connection withthe church
work he was urged upon to assume
the management Of the Wharton Nor

The Northwest Mining Journal OF
Spokane contains the following notes
In regard to the work now progress
ing on some OF the mining properties
IN the Priest River district:
considerable activity is going on
at present in this locality. Work Is
being pushed on several properties.
The Continental, owned by A. Klock-
man OF Rossland, is situated about IL
miles north from the upper Priest
lake. and consists of five claims. The
ledge is about 100 feet in width and
can be traced across the entire group
OF claims. Surface strippings were
made every few feet and tunnel
driven go feet to tap the ore ledge.
The shaft is now down 40 feet and at
the bottom a good grade of silver
lead ore is being taken out, the ore
running about 40 ozs. in silver and IS
per cent in lead. a large body of ore
is in sight and the property has pos
sibility Of soon becoming shipper. ("
This is the group Of claims in which

"The Lake View Mining & Milling
company owns seven claims situated

considerable work has been done ex-

been sunk on the Lake View property

AS is well known, only the gold
coins are made on a basis OF value
equal to their denominations. The
cent, for instance, is not worth as
metal a fraction OF that amount. The
nickel is not. either. All are stamped
from blanks which the government
buys by contract. Silver coins were
originally of the same value as the
metals, but silver has dropped so that
a cart Wheel dollar is worth only
about 80 cents. Gold is worth cent

There have been more cases Of la
grippe in this neighborhood this WIN
ter than ever before since the intro
duction OF that epidemic into this
country. We believe that Is per cent
would be a conservative estimate Of
the number OF people who have suf-
fered from it. The only encouraging
feature in connection with it is the
absence of any fatalities. So far we
have heard Of no deaths as the result OF
la grippe, at least in this neighbor-
hood. While this epidemic RACES with
as great prevalence in the western
as IL does in the eastern states, still it
is milder in form, due, we suppose, to
climatic reason. Nevertheless, west
ern Ia grippe is not the most tender
and loving embrace known to man
kind. as thousands of our people can
testify to.
Success, one of the leading weekly
magazines OF the country, published
at 100 Washington Square, New York
City, is making one of the most liberal
offers for limited period that has
come under our observation for some
time. For $500 il offers, together
with Success for one year. three other
standard magazines, both weekly and
monthly, published in the United
States, tho length of subscription
being six months on some OF them and
one year on others. The aggregate
subscription price Of the magazines
which they offer, if ordered direct
from the publishers amounts to $500.
In the list are included such well
known and popular magazines as lIar-
pers Weekly, Harper's Bazaar, Public
Opinion, The Deliniator, North Amer
lean Review, McClure's, ETC., etc.
We would advise all patrons of good,
wholesome literature to take advan-
tage Of the offer Of Success. 1t is a
most excellent opportunity to secure
good publications at exceedingly low

THE WORLDS SMALLEST WOMAN
She Is Only Two Feet Tail and Calls OF
President Mckinley.

President Mckinley pinned pink
carnation on the smallest woman in
the world one day this week, says a
Washington dispatch. Her name is
Senorita Espirito de Cenda, though
she is better known as Chiquita,
Spanish for ''lttle. She is said to be
the smallest perfectly developed hui
man being alive. She is a Cuban and
is in this country on a brief visit.
She is great admirer of the presi-
dent. and Secretary Cortelyou ar
ranged for her visit.
She is 81 years old, but is just two
feet tall and weighs only q pounds.
That she might make herself present
able she had special dress made to
order and wore all the diamonds she
owns. Her dress was wonder and
in society circles would have created
endless talk. 1t was of panne silk
and satin. with an opera cloak OF the
richest satin and embroideries. A
friend, Mr.. Mckenzie. carried her in
in his arms up the steps and down
again.
When Chiquita saw the president
she bowed gracefully and said:
II want to thank you, Mr.. Presi.
dent. for what YOU have done for my
people. You know / am thorough
Cuban and can appreciate all that has
been done for US. -
The president grasped her hand and
answered:
That is nice little speech, one OF
the most welcome ever received"
The president thereupon took from
the lapel Of his caat the pink carna.

by, Kootenai county has the best

Of schoolma ms as any county in the
state. Nothing very significant in
this we admit, only that for both
learning and beauty the public schools
of this county wear the palm. 1t is
source of pride to the patrons Of the
schools, and certainly Of no detriment
to the boys and girls who attend
