Passes Away.


Friends OF Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Vivian
McCune viii be shocked and grieved
beyond expression at the news Of the
death or their son Frank. The boy was
a little more than 3 years old, a bright,
handsome, manly little fellow, who was
loved by all who knew him. The death
or any child. is sad blow to its par
ents, but this case seems particularly
tragic because Frank was the only
enid. He was i'll only twenty-four
hours.
The cause of death was pneumonia.
Saturday he was apparently as we'll as
ne had ever been in his short life. Late
saturday evening, however, a cold de-
Neloped, which was at first not coz
sldered at all dangerous. In spite of
WdtchIui' loving care and the services
OF the most skilled, the boy grew rap
ldly worse until the end came shortly
before last midnight. Arrangements for
the funeral have not yet been perfected.

At the outset the hero is capable of feeling: as
the narrative proceeds he becomes too business

is natural enough but unfortunately she lacks
the insight and the power of elucidatiOn which

France of other centuries is so familiar to him

his famous pcrsonagcs too as well as he knows

which tells him just where to curb his inventive
faculty, so that the incidents he relates shall
remain in perfect harmony with the facts of the
past as scholarship has stated them. Nothing
could be more defty illustrative of Mazarin for
example, and of the court in his day. than the
episode around which "Flore" is written, and
whether he treats of the seventeenth century OR

The Prospector.

Distant fields are always green.
This old saying.is more applicable
to the prospector than any one
else, He is always bouyant with
hope. He has found fortunes and
sold them for song. His belief
in his ability to find another mine
is his distinguishing trait. His
policy is to find u prospect and sell
1t. The work Of developing mine
is entirely out Of his line, and if he
cannot sell readily he will give it
away. He becomes restless if he
remain in one place long, and the
longing for UNEMPLOYED territory
becomes unbearable. His life is
spent searching for ledge that
g'itters with gold, or placcrs where
lebbles are nuggets. From early
manhood to old age his life is a con-
tinual search for the Eldorado that
ne finds, possibly many times, but
sells for grubstake that will per-
nit him to hunt for another. But
the successful miner is not a seller;
he is a buyer Of property. He de-
velops the property that the pros
pector sells. He hunts for the pay
streak, and having found it follows
1t. He may not get mine every
time he buys prospect. but he
will get mine. The mining OPP
orator and the corporation are diff
ferent. They are not prospecting,
nor are they buying prospects.
They are hunting for mines, devel-
oped mines. They want to meas
ure the cubic yards of rock or
gravel that they buy. They must
know it's value, and having ascer-
tanned the cost Of operating, will
pay llice that will enable them
to make a legitimate profit on the
