Daily Prayer.

One always finds time to eat and sleep
and work. He can find time also to pray.
The prayer need not be long, as to time,
but it must be deep and true, and pervade
the spirit from dawn to twilight. A lover
may only stop at the door on his way
downtown to say good morning to his
sweetheart, but her smile and greeting
will fill his soul with sunshine all the day.
A moment of special comTr.nion with
Christ in the morning will fiji, the mind
with His presence through the, long hours
morning and evening meal, 'Thou pre-
parest a table before me in the. presence
Of mine enemies" A well-fed soul is
even more attractive than well.kept and
well.nourished body. Any religious obi
cation or custom that makes daily prayer
the rule of life is spiritual blessing
Christian Endeavor.

symptoms OF n Very Common TroubIcf
There is no disease so common in the
United States as catarrh because II appears
In so many forms and attacks SO many diff
fercnt organs
II is common mistake to suppose that
catarrh is confined to the nose and throat.
Any Inflammation of the mucous mem
brane, wherever locate accompanied by
abnormal secretions. is catarrh. Catarrh OF
stomach or bladder. or intestines is nearly
as common as nasal catarrh and much more
serious. although It is true that stomach
catarrh and catarrh OF other internal or
gans is the result Of neglected nasal ca
tarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which, so far as tested, seems TO be remark
ably effective in promptly curing catarrh.
wherever. located. The preparation is sold
by druggists generally under name OF
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and in addition
to being very palatable and convenient,
possesses extraordinary merit, in many
cases giving immediate relief from the
coughing, hawking and constant clearing of
the throat and head. those symptoms with
which everyone is familiar who has ever
suffered from colds in the head and throat.
Catarrh is simply continuation Of these
symptoms until the trouble becomes
chronic and grows gradually worse from
year to year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed OF
Hydrastin, Eucalyptol. Guaiacol and similar
antiseptics and catarrh specifics. from which
1t will be seen that no secret is made OF the
ingredients and also that no mineral poi
sons are used, as in the case Of many well
known catarrh medicines
For catarrh OF the nose, throat bronchial
tubes, for catarrh OF stomach. intestines or
bladder no preparation is so safe and gives
such rapid and permanent results as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at soc. for full
sized package, You can use them with as
surance that you will not contract the CO.
caine or morphine habit as the results from
this catarrh cure are apparent from the
first days use.

MINING PROPERTY IN ASSETS
Charles r. Omcer TcstiAes Regarding
Red Ciin (COlOD Claims.

y.
Red Ciin COIOD Claims.
The feature of yesterdays hearing in
the Officer & Pusey bank case was the tes
timony of Charles T. Oficer in relation to
the mining properties as listed in the in
ventory of the latters estate. The late
Thomas officers assets included $9S, 600,
secured by first mortgage, on the Percy
Chester Consolidated and the Champion
Consolidated Mining companies proper
ties. He was also credited with holding
stock to the amount of $4,000 in the
Percy Chester company Mr.. officers
mining interests formed by far the greater
portion OF his estate and consequently the
testimony regarding the values OF these
properties was listened to with more than
usual interest by the many creditors, who
have thronged the court room during the
course OF the hearing of the Day & Hess
petition of intervention, in which the SOL
vency Of the firm is attacked.
The mining property in question Is To-
Gated near Red Cliff, Colo. and until re-
Gently had been in litigation. In his in
ventory OF his fathers estate Charles T.
oficer reported that he had been Informed
that a large quantity Of good paying ore
was In sight and several carloads of it
were ready to ship to the smelter. In sup
port of this Charles Officer introduced in
evidence two statements showing that two
carloads OF orc had been shipped in Novem-
ber and December to the smelter and had
realized S73 and $i3 a ton. respectively,
after deducting the cost OF smelling He
was unable. however, to state the cost OF
production OF the ore at the mine His
testimony, however, developed the fact that
this paying ore is being taken from a
flssure vein, which may possibly soon fail
to pan out. The ore that Is said to be
in sight is reported to he low grade.
During the course of his testimony the
witness admitted that the original Percy
Chester mine had been practically worked
out although II was believed that by fur
ther development good paying ore might
be found. The Mabel mine, the only one
OF the mines comprising the property OF
| the Percy Chester company, has been leased
TO the Delaware Mining and Milling COM
pany, which is developing and working it.
This company, after paying its expenses
and recouping itself, is supposed TO turn
! the balance OF the profits over to satisfy
the mortgage held by the late Thomas Of
| fcer. The two carloads of ore spoken OF
by Charles Officer in his testimony came
| from this mine The witness was also ex-
amined at length as TO the property held
by his father in 1892 and 1896
| II, w. Binder and J. p, Hess were plac ed
on the stand to testify as to the value OF
the real estate holdings of the bank and
! their evidence was to the effect that they
had been overvalued by the bank.

VEST POCKET COOK STOVE.
A Newly Invented Contrivancc foI
Army Use.

Army Use.
The commissary general OF the army has
recently bought, for the special use OF our
soldiers. large numbers of little cookers OF
kind newly invented. Each of them. re
ports the Philadelphia Record, is hardly
bigger than a teacup. so that the contriv-
ance has the merit of being easily portable
while possessing the additional advantages
OF extreme simplicity and cheapness. With
a single twist one unscrews from II a metal
rim and this. having three legs. Is made
to serve as n tripod stand for holding a
brass receptacle from which the cover is
removed with another twist.
The receptacle. which is nothing but a
small cylindrical cup. is partly filled with
a whiteish looking substance that has the
appearance of spermaseti One is informed,
however. that the stuff is in reality mix
ture Of wood alcohol and ''some vegetable
material" the nature of which is not ex-
planned. on being touched with a match II
catches fire instantly and burns with a
steady lambent flame. which, though almost
invisible to the eye, is extremely hot.
Now, the small quantity Of alcoholic mix
ture in the cup--it is quite solid-will burn
for an hour and a half. and the cost OF IL is
almost nothing. 1t will serve to heat water
or for any purpose of minor cookery, a
saucepan or light pot being placed upon the
tripod. When the fuel mixture is used up
fresh supply is scooped out OF a pint can
with a spoon and put into the brass cup, so
that culinary operations may proceed. In n
region where fuel is scarce-as In China, for
example, or in parts of the west-such a
contrivance is invaluable. 1t is likely to be
adopted by sportsmen for use in camp,
The navy has purchased a quantity OF
these impromptu cookers and is furnishing
them by way OF experiment to some % the
