KEEP 1T IN THE BANK.
That Is Where People Who Hav'
Money Should fut 1t.

That Is Where People Who Have
Money Should fut 1t.
Recently when a big robbery took
place not far from here a man 'phoned
to a bank and inquired II the banks
would be responsible for stolen money.
The bank answered yes, Of course.
This illustrates that many people do
not understand about banks. Lua-
rens has four banks, all strong insti-
tutions. There is a lot Of money in
the country. There is a lot in these
banks. There is also a lot outside.
Every bank is provided with first
class vault. Any bank is ten times as
safe as a private house. The individ-
ual who keeps large sums in his pock-
cts has neither the money safe nor his
life safe. Now and then in the coun-
try people are killed for their money.
This rarely happens in town.
The man who keeps his money In a
bank learns business habits. All pro-
gressive men, there are no exceptions
to this rule, deal with banks.
There is a great deal Of money In
this country that is not In banks:
Does it help the banks to deposit In
them? Certainly 1t does. But 1t helps
the depositor too. If we had no banks
in this country, wouldn't we be In a
nice fix? If we had no depositors we
would have no banks.
The man who is regular depositor
will always have banking friends. The
banks look after those who help
them. That's the first rule in the
banking business. There Is a time
when every man wants to borrow
sometime or other in his life. When
he can put his money in the safest
place possible-in a bank-and at the
same time make a friend Of the bank,
It is strange that he fails sometimes
to do it.
The great power Of the New England
states lies in the fact that the working
people there have hundreds Of millions
of dollars laid away in the banks

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.

I wandered to the grogehop, Tom;
stood beside the bar
And drank a bowl Of lemonade ant
smoked q bad cigar;
The same old kegs and jugs were
there, the ones we used to know
When we were on the round up, Tom
some fifteen years ago.
The barkeep .is q new one, Tom; the
one who used to sell
Corrosive tanglefoot to us is roasting
now in-well.
The other has plate glass front, his
hair is combed quite low,
And looks just like the one we knew
some fifteen years ago.
Old Soak came up and called for booze
he had the same old grin, .g
While others burned the lining from
their throat with Holland gin,
And women stood beside the door, theiI
faces scanned with woe,
And wept just as they used to weeI

asked about our old time friends
those cherished sporty men,
And some were In the poorhouse. Tom
and some were in the pen.
And one, the one we liked the best
the hangman laid him low;
The world is much the same, deal
Tom; as fifteen years ago.
I asked about that stately chap that
pride marked for It's own,
He used to say he could drink or lei
the stuff alone.
He perished of the James II. Jams
ort In the cold and snow.
All, few survive who used to booze
some fifteen years ago.
New crowds line up against the ba,
and call for crimson ink;
New hands are trembling as they pour
the stuff they shouldn't drink,
But still the same old watchword rings
"This rounds on me, you know!'
The some old cry Of doom we heard
some fifteen years ago.
I wandered to the churchyard, Tom
and there saw the graves
OF those who used to drown them
selves in red fermented waves.
And there were women sleeping there
where grass and daises grow
Who wept and died Of broken hearts
some fifteen years ago.
And there were graves where children
slept, have slept for many year
Forgetful Of the woes that marked their
fitful sojourn here.
And meath tall white monument ir
death there lieth low

some fifteen years ago.

FIGHTING OVER LINE FENCE
good lawyer learns many lessons IN
the school Of human nature; and thus
It was that Lawyer Hackett did not
fear to purchase the tract OF lano
which had been "lawed over" for years.
Some of the people wondered why ne
wanted to get hold Of the property
with such an incubus Of uncertainty
upon it. Others thought that perhaps
he wanted some legal knitting work,
and would pitch in red-hot to fight the
line-fence question on his own hook.
That's what the owner Of the ad-
Joining land thought. So he braced
himself for trouble when he saw Hack
ett coming across the fields one day.
Said Hackett, whats your claim
here, anyway, as to this fence?
1T insist" replied his neighbor. that
your fence is over on my land two feet
at one end. and one foot at least on the
other end"
"Well," replied Hackett, "you go
ahead just as quickly as you can and
set your fence over. At the end where
you say that I encroach on you two
feet, set the fence on my land four
feet. And the other end push it on my
land two feet"
But" insisted the neighbor, that's
twice what I claim"
II don't care about that" said Hack
ett. There's been fight enough over
this land. I want you to take enough
until you are perfectly satisfied and
then we, can get along pleasantly. GO
ahead and help yourself"
The man paused, abashed. He had
been ready to commence the old strug-
gle, tooth and nail, but this move or
the new neighbor stunned him. Yet
he wasn't to be outdone in generosity.
He looked at Hackett.
SQUIRE" said he, that fence amt
going to be moved an inch. don't
want the land. There wasn't nothing
in the fight but the principle OF the
thing"

perplexed and worried over the matter
that | was several times on the point
of telling him the reason for her sud-
den aversion for him.
There was but little doubt that he
had noticed her dislike for him, but he
was too proud and sensitive to men,
tion the matter to any one. He was
not q kind to speak Of such personal
questions even to DR.. Squires. For
several days he remained away from
the Stetson mansion, sending me over
twice day to inquire after Miss Stet-
sons health. l never saw her myself
in any Of these visits except the last.
Then, instead Of sending the message
down to me by one of the servants, she
called me up to her library.
The first thing l noticed about her
was peculiar careworn, suffering ex-
preston on her face. Under the dark
eyes and around the lips there were
delicate lines and tints which revealed
more than words. She had suffered
and was doomed to suffer more. Pa.
thetic acceptance Of her lot was ap.
parent on every lineament Of her face.
She had evidently battled successfully
with herself and had become resigned
to her fate.
The room in which she ushered me
was an old fashioned library where
her father. the doctor, had gathered
together many rare books and curios.
The heavy woodwork, the dark paper
and furnishings Of. the library cast
gloomy aspect over the sole occupant,
aud her white face cleaned out Of the
darkness like an old fashioned picture
in q somber setting. In spite Of her
surroundings she was still beautiful
more beautiful it seemed to me than
when fully exposed to broad daylight.
Hers was a beauty that did not fade
In light or shade.
"You come from MIR. Goddard with
message for me" she said interroga-
lively as | entered the room.
"Yes. ma'am. He sent to inquire
after your health" I replied, bowling
respectfully.
"And he trusts you without VIII
ten message?" she continued.
I'm this matter he does. for he con-
sidered you too i'll to write. and he did
not wish to put you to any unneces'
sary trouble"
THAT is the true reason" she said
quietly. He is always very consider
nte to me-
He is to every one." I added, wish.
Ing to show my devotion to him.
"Yes. yes: be is kind to all. He is a
good man,"
81 have never met better, ma'am,
IL you will permit me to say 1t, and
I've seen many kinds Of men in the
world. He is always thinking of other
people. and If be does wrong believe
he has some good reason for it."
She looked at me as If she liked to
hear me praise him. and when | stop
ped her expression seemed to say, go
on, 20 on: it's music to me-" But
knew my position and would say no
more.
"Ts Mr.. Goddard well himself?" she
asked when she found that wal
mute.
"Yes. Except for an attack of poison
which has now gone away entirely
he has been very WELL"
She turned a shade paler and ther
flushed a little as she remembered thai
had been present Oh the day wher
she tainted.

SCOTTISH CHIEF
READY To SHIP
Changed From Prospect TO a
Producer in Few Months.
SILVER SHIELD TAPS VsIN
NEW YORK CRoSS-CUT SAID TO
BE LOOKING FINE.

After a solid week spent at the Scot
fish chief company's property, above
PARK city, Manager VIII J. Lawrence
returned to the city Friday night. He
verifies al 1.-The reports that have crept
out regarding conditions underground
and says the initial shipment of fifty
tons or more will be made just as soon
as the sacking Of the lot Is completed.
From the merest kind of a prospect
last fail, the property, under Mr. Law
rence's management, has been convert
ed into a producer that promises to as
tonish the natives before the present
year has expired.
The incline shaft has now reached a
depth OF 215 feet. At the 225-foot mark
another station will be cut and the
vein drifted upon for the purpose of
opening up additional stopping ground.
Most of the ore so far taken out comes
from the workings on the first or 1885,
foot level, though a winze has just been
dropped down fifteen feet below that
level in the finest kind of ore. So far
as explored, the ledge, or more properly
speaking, the ore in the ledge, has aver
aged about three feet in width. The
bottom of the incline is not in the vein,
but Manager Lawrence says it will re-
quire only a few shifts work to open
II after the station is cut. a few days
hence. and then he is confident the ore
bodies win prove even larger than they
show above.
The Scottish Chief company's prop
erty has been very quietly opened, and
not a share of the stock has found its
way on to the open market; the public,
therefore, having but a slight idea of
what was being done. From the man
ner in which it is now coming out, it
looks as though it was going to prove
one Of the camps big mines, as the ore
runs away up in lead and silver, with
values in gold and copper equal to any
other mines in that section.

QUEEN OF THE HILLS.
Well Known idaho Gold Mine Being
Negotiated For in the East.

Major W. A. Stanton, the well known
mining engineer, has just completed a
most exhaustive and comprehensive re-
port upon the Queen of the Hills
group OF mines in Lemhi county, Idaho,
and distant from Salmon City only
about five miles. The report has been
made, it is understood, in the inter
ests of eastern capitalists who have in
view the purchase of the property and
Its operation on a large scale.
While the Queen of the Hills has
undergone but little real mining it has
an established record of $780, 900 in gold
bullion and, properly handled, as ex-
planned in the majors report, it may
be depended upon to become one of
the most productive propositions in the
Salmon River range.
1t is understood that a powerful syn
dictate is after the mine and should
the deal go though, as it seems GER
tain it should on the strength of the
majors report, which is supplemental
10 previous reports made by Frank l..
Sizer and others, the Salmon river gold
region will soon be making a noise in
the world.
