The Missionary "o."

A firm which was sued at the Vest minister county court for the price of a sign defended the case on the ground that the "O'' in their name was smaller than the other letters. Ii was proved by measurement, how ever, that it was d sixteenth of an inch larger, allowance having been made for the fact that, owing to an optical illusion, the letter 70" always looks smaller than the neighboring letters. Judgment was given for the sign mak- CTS.

EVILS OF LoOUAcITY.
Physician Says Man Can Actually
 Talk Himself to Death.

Il hlk nlLuSEll LO ySrAlH.
 Talking is an ugproftablc busi- !. ness in more ways than one" said 2 man who is inclined to take the seri- ous view of life, to a New Orleans Times-Democrat reporter, 'and in this age, when we are inclined to lay so much stress on the achievements along scientific lines it might be we'll for us to pause for a few moments and reflect on the evils of loquacity It is an old subject, but it is one, neyerthe- less, which may be approached from new standpoints, and with much profit. It is an old saying that the man who talks much learns little, that silence is golden,' if l may put 1t in another way, and our own Ralph Waldo Emerson put the old saying that a man cannot open his mouth without putting his foot in it, in lan- guage a trife more chaste, but the truth thereof was as of old. Mind you, I donotmean to say that a man should go through life as dumb aS sn oyster, and that he should make signs and never speak. There are times when a man can turn talking to good account, as when he speaks some word of good cheer aud encouragement at an op- perfume time, or when he speaks fore ibly against the wrong or in favor of the right. But talkingjust to be talk ing, and saying nothing which can be remembered, or talking for the pur- pose of belittling the opinions and wounding the feelings of ones fel- lows-talk of this kind Is unproft- able. Besides, there is a physical strain about talking that may mean something in the life of the indiyid- ual I was talking to physician the other day along this very line, and he cited arecent case of where man had died as the result of talking too much. You have often heard of persons talking themselves to death, said the physician, and no doubt you have come to look upon the saying as a grimly humorous comment on very notable weakness in mankind. Here is where you ers. Men do talk them- selves to death, and so do women. It requires more physical energy thaa you would think to carry on an or dinary conversation. We never think of the physical strain of talking ex- cept in connection with public ad- dresses, in connection with the efforts of preachers, lawyers, lecturers and statesmen. In less degree we will find the person engaged in ordinary conversation undergoing exactly the same strain. l have in mind the re- cent instance of man, fine, robust, vigorous fellow, who, under less try ing conditions, would have lived many years longer, but who died be- cause of the indiscreet use of his voice. He died as the result of too much talk ing. He had great amount of work to do in the way of dictating letters. He tried to do it. The result was fa- tai. The strain helped to bring aboVt a congestion of the lungs, and he died while yet engaged in his work. Too much talking, a too vigorous use of the voice, is very bad thing Here IS a case in point, furnished by the physician, which confirms what l said at the beginning, that talking is an unproftable business in more ways than one, and not infrequently is at tended by consequences of disas- trous nature"

BUSINESS COURTESY.
A Question for Men in Commercial
 Life to Settle.

"It is nice question how long a new tenant of a store or office ought to keep the address of former oc- cppant posted up at the doors and windows" said a Broadway trades man. "When l moved into my pres ent quarters my predecessor asked permission to put up sign telling his old customers and the passers-b by that he had removed to a certain street up town, and of course l said it would be all right. Kept the card on exhibition for about four weeks, and then, supposing that everybody who had any desire to keep track of him had found out his present address, l took the notice down. A few days later he came in hopping mad. Two orthree old customers had, 1t seemed, been put to considerable inconyen- fence ill locating him, because of the removal of the sign, and he was out for safisfa&tion. am afraid, though, that he didn't get it, for while I am wdling to do a great deal to help a fellow worker along, am not willing to advertise him indefinitely, to the detriment of my own business, which in this case happens to be the same as his."-N.

Coal Dispen sable.

The town of Dayos, in Switzerland, is considering a bold scheme for the abolition of all the ordinary forms of fuel. It is proposed to erect m ex- tensiyc electric plant at the conflu- cnce of two large mountain torrents, whose united waters will supply the necessary motive force Already electricity is not only used for light ing and motive power, but is adopted in many villas for cooking and heat ing, and inone of the largest bakeries. The idea is to do away with all con- animation of the air hy the use Ot fuel.

LEGEND OF THE CREATION.
The Hindoo Idea-Curious Notions
 Entertained in the Far East.

Entertained in the Far East.
 As is generally known the earliest source for the religion of India is the hymns of the Rig Veda, the date of which is now fixed at about 1000 E. C. In one of these hymns we first see the creator Purusha, who is simply "magni6ed man." A god-like turn is given to this idea, however, under which the Purusha becomes the "all- mall" and then becomes clOsely J as- soaiated with the universe, with what has been and what shall be. All gods, the animals and castes are parts of him. The moon is his mind, the sun his eye, from his mouth sprang Indra and Agni, the Hindu gods of wisdom and speech; from his breath Vayu, the god of love; heaven from his head and earth from his feet. This spring-out theory, when freed from all its early clements of tradi- tion, founds the source of the many god idea, pure and simple. In accord with this view creative activity is carried back in other hymns to 'de- sire" We also read in the stories of the Veda that "desire Is the seed Of the mind Brooklyn Eagle,

Babies in a Box

A novelty arrived at Pollock one
day last week. Howard Dennisou
and wife, and their twin boys came
in on the stage enroute to Macey's
camp. The twins were securely
packed in box; they are but three
weeks old yet stood the trip ex-
tremely we'll. However the ro-
mantle part of their journey was yet
to come. The next morning after
arrival, horses stood at the post
ready to convey the party over the
trail to Macey's camp. The twins
We're again packed in their box OF

Liberty Bell Meeting.

The board of directors of the
Liberty Bell-Buffalo Hump Gold
Mining Co. Ltd, met Tuesday and
completed its organization by eject
ing officers. Edward NJ. Griffith
was chosen president; DR.. F. A.
Campbell, vice president; j. T.
McDutiie, secretary; Geo. l..
Hedges general, manager. All the
above named gentlemen were pres
ent and the future policy of the
company was discussed fully, and
arrangements were made whereby
the present force now employed in
driving a new tunnel on the Rob
roy claim will be kept steadily at
work. Mr.. Hedges, the general
manager, has made necessary pro-
visions for working the property
all winter and by early spring will
have the tunnel on the Robroy
claim driven far enough to en-
counter the ore body which was ex-
posed. in the upper tunnel. The
new tunnel which is now being
driven is started down near the
lake with view of giving greater
depth and at the point where the
company intends erecting its mill
There has been expended in
actual development on the COM
pany's property between six and
seven thousand dollars, and good
ore has been exposed in two places
on the property, some of which
show values as high as $500 to the
ton. The vein on the Robroy
claim is over 40 feet wide, and the
vein filling and general character
of the ore is identical with that of
the Big Buffalo mine on which
vein or same general outcrop it is
located.
Only a small block of the stock
has been placed on the market,
which, no doubt, will find ready
buyers.

l.. Hussman, on Friday, Dec. 4, at
Keuterville, Deceased was born

1851 she was married to Lubertus
Hussmann who preceded her in
death about 1871. Four children
were born to the union, two of

less to say the demise of this
respected and beloved member Of
the family is keenly felt and her
memory will always be kept
sac. ed by those for whom she was

MORE JUMBO GOLD.
Other Properties Looking Ex-
Ceedingly Well.

Several parties CAME out from
the Hump Friday and Saturday
and some of them brought out the
Jumbo cleanup amounting to over
sll, 900. The company has wisely
changed their policy of giving out
information as TO when their bull
lion comes out and who carries it
as the amount is sufficient to be a
strong temptation so some highway
man! 1t is reported that it came
out this month in several packages
and was shipped from here in the
same way as a safeguard against
hoIdups.
Frank Brown says he is develop
ing mines now and will let the
other fellow carry the bullion. In
all the properties under his man
agement things are looking ex-
ceedingly well. They have struck
fine body of ore on the Del Rio
at distance of only 40 feet from
the mouth of the tunnel. A force
OF seven men are at work on the
property and this number will be
increased as soon as they can be
used to an advantage.
On the Cracker Jack three shifts
are at work drifting on good ore.
The extent and value of the ore,
Mr.. Brown did not care to give out,
more than that both exceeded his
expectations and he was more
firmly convinced than ever of the
great value of the mine.
The machinery for the electric
plant is all on the ground, and
compressors and power are on the
road and will be there by the time
the installation of the electrical
machinery is completed. Every
property where work is being done
is showing up in the most encour-
aging way and prices for stock in
Hump mines are advancing all
along the line.

Marion.

Mrs. Mary Marion. wife of Peter
Marion, the well known contractor, de-
parted this life last Wednesday morn
ing after lingering illness. She leaves
a family of seven children to mourn
the loss Of devoted, loving Christian
mother.
To few women is given the sweet
endearing disposition which was so
manifest in the character of the de-
ceased. To her friends she was ever
constant and loyal always showing the
genial, frank, generous nature of her
true Irish heart. If her loss is so de-
piored by those outside the family cir
Gle. what terrible blow is it to the de-
voted husband and dear children!
Only the tender goodness of the In
finite One can comfort them in this
hour of desolation.
The dear wife and mother has gone
forever, but the example and influence
of her beautiful Catholic life will lin
ger for all time in the hearts of her
loved ones. May the last sleep of the
Iovable little woman be sweet!
