THE GIFT OF ART.

dreamed that a child was born: and at
his birth
The Angel Of the Word stood by the
hearth
And spake to her that bare him: Look
without.
Behold the beauty Of the Day, the shout
OF color to glad color, rocks and trees
And sun and sea and wind and sky. All
Are Gods expression art-work of his
hand.
Which men must love ere they may
understand,
By which alone he speaks till they have
grace
To hear his voice and look upon mis- face.
For first and last of ali things in the
heart
Of God as man the glory is of art.
What gift could God bestow or man be-
seech,
Save spirit unto spirit uttered speech?
Wisdom were not for God himself could
find
No way to reach the unresponsive mlnd
Sweet Love were dead, and all the
crowded skies
A loneliness and not Paradise.

A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Nearly Hundred Killed in Mexican
Mine Horror.

st. Louis. Mo, Feb. S.--A special to
the Globe Democrat from Chihuahua.
Mexico says:
Word has Just reached here of one of
the most terrible mining disasters that
ever occurred in Mexico. An explosion
in the San Andres mine. situated in re
mote locality Of the Sierra Madres, In
the western part Of the state of Duran
go. caused the death of 81 men, women
and children and injured many others.
The catastrophe was due to the eXplos-
ion OF several hundred cases Of dyna-
mite. which was stored in an under
ground chamber Of the mine. Electric
wires connecting with the hosting ma
chnery passed through the room in
which this dynamite was stored, and 1t
is supposed that these wires became
crossed, thereby causing a fire which
set off the dynamite.
All Of the killed and injured were To-
Gated on the surface. most of them occu-
pied residences right over the UNDER
ground workings of the mine. The ex-
piosion tore away the whole top of the
mountain on which the village was To-
csted ana men, women and children
were blown into small pieces.
Among those who were killed was
Herman Luetzman, the superintendent
OF the mine, ana all members of his
family.
At the time of the explosion there
/ were several hundred miners at work
| in the lower workings Of the mine and,
strange to say none Of them were seri-
ously injured. although they were all
severely shocked by the explosion.
! The San Andres mine is the most cele-
I blated silver mine in Mexico It, is
valued at $2O.OOO,0O0. 1t has produced
many millions of dollars worth Of ore.

MEXICO TIRED OF SILVER.
Financier Who Comes to Study Bet
ter Plan.

New York, Feb Sat dinner given
in his honor by Charles r. Flint, Senior
Enrique c. Creel, a banker Of the city
of Mexico, was the principal speaker.
The dinner was attended by a NUMBER
of prominent financiers. 1t is the general
belief that Senior Creel has come to ar
range some way of putting Mexico on
gold basis instead of her present silver
standard. Senior Creel said:
"senor Limantour will be the acting
president of Mexico during the European
trip of President DiaZ, which will take
place in the near future. France will be
the first country visited, but the proba-
bilities are that he will visit London
and all the great continental cities. On
the return trip New York will be the
port of debarkation. So far as the United
States and Mexico are concerned the
financial and commercial relations OF
the two countries are of the closest and
most harmonious relation. American
capital is constantly seeking investment
and Mexico offers a most attractive
field

A MEMORIAL DAY.

Billings News: Friday, the first day of,
February, will long be memorable in the
annals Of Montana. On it some very i'm
portant changes took effect that mean
great deal to the people of this state.
On that day the legislature passed a
bill making eight hours a days labor in
all mines and smelters within the state
of Montana.
On that day the Boston & Montana
people inaugurated the eight hour day
in their smelter in Great Falls, and all
the big mining companies, that had not
already done so, inaugurated the shorter
day in their Butte mines.
On that day the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific inaugurated a three
cent passenger rate that will be of great
advantage to the people of the state.

1t was in 1882 that the first act eN
Guiding Chinese laborers was passed
1t expired in 1892. and the present law,
which is much more effective and
sweeping than the first, was passed in
that year. At that time the Japs had

and lahorers Since then. however,
there has been a great influx of Japan

and it is understood that this was
largely due Ia the fear OF the Japanese
that their country was about to engage
in a great war With Russia. Whatever
may have been the cause. this govern
