THE MINERS WEALTH.
II Is Clean and Adds TO the Worlds Comforts
and Pleasures.


Some time ago Rev. Robert Mcintyre,
the eminent Chicago Methodist preacher.
'grub-staked' a prospector to explore
the Klondike Willis and stake the minis
ter in on his discov cries. Some Of the
churchmen criticized Mr. Mcintyre. said
grub-staking is akin TO gambling, and
wondered that he was not restrained by
conscientious scruples Dr. Mcintyre re-
piled to his critics as follows:
conscientious scrupies against such an
undertaking? No scruples whateS er en-
tered my mind then, nor have they since.
1t was purely and simply a matter of
principle. The Sermon on the Mount and
the Ten Commandments don't come into
the matter and theology needn't.
The fact is, I admire miners wealth
It's clean. There are no tears or blood
upon it. 1t is acquired away from the
scheming and cut-throat competition that
characterize ordinary business ventures
where the success of one man so often
means the disaster and downfall of some
other man, or perhaps a number of men.
Nobody has been wronged. The miner
who digs fortune out of the ground has
the satisfaction that he hasn't robbed a
SOUL even though he becomes hundred
times millionaire.
"Then. too. there is another factor te
take into consideration. A man who ma
kes a fortune on the board of trade or
stock exchange ADDS nothing to the
worlds stock of available wealth. The
world, In other words. is no richer be-
cause he is richer. He Is richer, rather
because somebody else is poorer The
miner. on the other hand, whether he
digs out 100000 or s1O0 900 900, adds that
much to the worlds wealth and with the
added wealth he contributes just that
worlds comforts and pleasures. AS
look at the matter there are few produc-
ers Of wealth. The many live on the few
The only man comparable with the miner
is the farmer. He gets what he has dir
ect from nature but he produces perish
able wealth. While he meets a want HI:
contribution to the worlds wealth there.
fore is not permanent one like the min
er's. The miner is today the king wealth
producer of this country, and honor him
above all others. 1t is no dishonor, II
needs no apology to emulate his example
or assist In his efforts. There's the whole
question in a nutshell AS l just said:
on the miners wealth there are no
tears, no blood, no groans, sufferings
nor sorrows caused to others.

There are many different stories as
to the origin OF the term iankse. That
which III most generally accepted. how
ever. is that it came from the Indian
attempt to pronounce the word. Eng
li-h. or the French equivalent, Anglais.
This explanation would put the origin
Of the word Yankee Mt u date in the
early English settlement Of the Attain
tic coast in this country. Another the
ory is that 1t was cant word in eastern
Massachusetts nearly 100 years ago
which meant VERY FINE, a. a "ian-
kee cow" yankee gun" etc. The
designation Is usually applied to resi-
dents Of New England. Immediately
before and during the Civil War ii was
held to mean citizen Of the Northern
States rs distinguished from a South
erner.

We look for heroes on battlefields.
nr Oh the seas, but We do not expect to
find them by our side In the factory or
office, or 10 our homes. Yet there they
are, and occasions reveal them. A
little boy who had been fatally injured
refused to give the name Of his CON-
panion who pushed him and made him
fall under the car, 'because he didn't
mean to hurt me-" That mischievous
boy of yours who an nnoys you so by his
pranks may be just such hero Us this
little fsliow.
4 few days ago two men, William
Phelps and James Stansbury. were
cleaning the inside OF an eight-fooi
upright boiler at a cerealine mill, when
an employee turned on the steam,
thinking the cock was tight. 1t leak
ed. aud the scaliing steam poured In
on the two men. The only exit was
up a ladder 20 manhole in the top.
Both jumped for the ladder. Phelps
reached II first, took one step and stop
ped. He jumped aside, and shouted :
"Iou go first, jim, you are married" "
Stansbury sprang up the ladder and es-
capped with slight burns about the face
aud legs. Though Phelps faIlowed at
his heels, his act of heroism cost him
his life. Both men were being cooked
when Phelps jumped aside. BY the
time he had followed Stan-bury up
the ladder the flesh was dropping from
his limbs. He was cooked alive, and
with supreme effort dragged his scald.
ed body from the manhOle. He lived
for two hours in terrible agony. at
was Jim's right to go first" said he,
quietly, "he is married" That act was
even more heroic than the charge Ol
the Light Brigade ut the battle of Ba'
.laklava. at which "all the world won

At q western insane hospital $50
acres were planted to potatoes last year.
The potato crop was almost total
failure in the same locality because Of
the drought and excessive heat. This
asylum crop averaged $50 bushels per
acre. Why? Well, l5O of the inmates
were given hoes and kept at work In
that potato field all through the dry
spell; they were told that they would
have no potatoes TO eat this winter un-
less they hoed the crop well, and never
before did field receive such thorough
cultivation. Now, please do not draw
the inference that In order to raise po-
tatoes in dry SEASON you have got to
have lot Of crazy men to hoe them.
for the same results may be obtained
by horse cultivation. The whole secret
lies In the constant stirring of the
ground during the drought.

Popular Impressions regarding
bloodhounds are very erroneous.
They derived their name. not from
thirst for blood or savagery of dispo.
sition, but from their ability to trace
wounded game by drops of blood
sprinkled along its trail. As a matter
OF fact the bloodhound is ordinarily
amiable, and makes an affectionate
and intelligent house dog. In hunt.
ing escaped criminals they are used
to follow the trail, which they do by
their keenness of scent but not TO
attack or pull down the object of the
search. When the hounds reach the
person pursued their mission is end
ed. Usually they are not allowed TO
make their search out of leash. as
they might soon distance the posse
And trained bloodhounds are too valu.
able to be allowed to come within
range of the firearms of hunted
criminal, unless fully protected by the
officers of the law.
