A Gentleman.


knew him for a gentleman
By signs that never fail;
His coat was rough and rather worn,
His cheeks were thin and pale
A lad who had his way to make,
With little time to play,
knew him for gentleman
BY certain signs today.
He met his mother on the street;
on came his little cap.
Ny door was shut; he waited there
Until heard his rap.
He took the bundle from my hand,
And when dropped my pen
He sprang to pick it up for me,
This gentleman OF ten.
He does not push or crowd along;
His voice is gently pitched;
He does not fling his books about
AS if he were bewitched.
He stands aside to let you pass;
He always shuts the door;
He runs on errands willingly
To forge and mill and store.
He thinks OF you before HIMSELF
He serves you if he can,
For in whatever company
The manners make the man.
At ten and forty tits the same;
The manner tells the tale,
And l discern the gentleman
By signs that never fail.

The Rustler Mine.

G. W. Griffey and John Gordon,
owners of the Rustler mine on
Rustler mountain in the Gothic
district, will soon commence opera
tions on the property. This mine
was first located in 1873 and was
patented the following year. In
1882 it was sold to E. A. Buck and
other New York parties for $25,-
900 The property is showing ore
in seven places, running from $40
to $500 per ton in gold, silver,
lead and copper values. In early
days the transportation charges
were so heavy and the smelters
charged so much for treatment -
$50 to $50 per ton-that the own
ers did little work. 1t has lain
idle the greater part of the time and
had been almost forgotten until
two years ago when the present
owners investigated it. After con-
vincing themselves that the prop
erty could easily be made to pay,
they bought it from the Buck
estate.
Last year Messrs. Griffey and
Gordon did some work on the prop
erty, opening the vein in various
places. The vein is about three
feet wide and carries 6 to Is inches
of high grade material. The mine
is located on top of Rustler noun
tain at an altitude of 13,60O feet.
On the very cone of the mountain
Mr.. Griffey, while prospecting,
opened within six inches of the
surface ore that assayed $50 per
ton. Considerable development
work will be done on the mine this
year -Gunnison Republican,

Ever since the peace conference
at The Hague the great powers
represented III that conference have
been industriously carrying on war.
They resolved that arbitration was
the proper method of settling in
ternational differences, and then
went home and opened hostilities.
In much the same way is the move
ment Eor arbitrating disputes be-
tween capital and labor succeeding.
A number of labor leaders of ma
tional prominence and influence
have declared openly against strikes
and in favor of arbitration. Many
labor employing capitalists have
spoken in the same vein. Yet
when any serious disagreement
arises between employers and their
men strike ensues and business in
that line is tied up for an indefinite
period. What is the use of talking
arbitration if nations are going to
keep on fighting, and workingmen
are going to keep on striking ?
The only arbitration that is worth
Intelligent consideration is the
kind that arbitrates. Any other
sirj is bumbug and a mockery.

DEPEW'S PREDICTION.


1t is neither unusual or surpris-
that there should be talk of third
term for president who has given
the country such successful and
satisfactory service as President
Mckinley has. From a popular
standpoint, there can be no more
desirable administration than a
prosperity administration. That is
the kind William Mckinley has
given the country in a pre- eminent
degree. AS Senator Depew says.
it is true that 1.-The people are sat
isfied with Mckinley" and that
''the great business interests of the
country have confidence in him and
his administration" And possibly
they dread change, or the sub
stitution of weak man in McKin-
ley's place" But nevertheless it
is quite unlikely that President
Mckinley will be renominated or
reelected.
The American people have be-
come pretty well set in the belief
that two presidential terms are
enough for any man. This was
shown plainly when General Grant
was a candidate the third time.
When he was denied nomination
for third term it was generally
understood that the question of
three terms was settled for all time.
The "unwritteu law" was accepted
as valid and binding. Since then
there has been no serious thought
of placing president il nomina-
ton after he has twice been hon
ored with the high trust. No man
is regarded as so necessary to the
country's welfare that he must be
kept in the White House longer
than the customary number of
years for popular president. Nor
is the Republican party so impov-
ished that there is any danger of
putting "a weak man" in President
McKinley's place. There is an
abundance of material in its ranks
that could be trusted to continue
its present high standard of states
manship.
Unquestionably the people hold
President Mckinley in the highest
esteem and affection, but if they
were to get the idea that he is in
viting third term, his popularity
would dwindle rapidly. However,
there is no reason whatever to be-
lieve that Mr.. Mckinley will per-
NIT ambition to run away with his
excellent judgment in this matter.
Should a third term movement
gain any formidable proportions it
is altogether probable that the
president would summarily set it
at rest with a positive statement
that would be final.

The Worlds Corn.

Corn Is pre-eminently the American
cereal crop. In some years it rises to
be chief of the worlds cereal crops,
SURPRISING In quality and exceeding in
quantity both wheat and oats. The
average corn crop for the past five
years has been 2,756,057, 900 bushels,
and Of this immense crop about ninety
per cent. is raised in the Western Hem
isphere, and almost exactly seventy
five per cent. in the United States.
Such are the statistics given In the
Crop Reporter, published by the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture.
While an ungrounded prejudice against
corn as q food for man and animals
has existed in Continental Europe for
years, it is manifest that this staple
article is now attracting more atten-
tion throughout the world. In Egypt
It is almost the sole food Of the fel-
lab; in Mexico, the tortilla-a cake
made from crudely ground corn-is the
staff of the masses, and this is also
the case in many Of the Central and
South American republics. The po-
lenta-a somewhat similar food and .
product of corn-fulfills like func-
tion for the peasant Of Roumanie and
Italy.
