CLARK, The Copper King.

The story is told that CLARK. the
copper king, refused the sale of his
copper mines to an English syndi.
cate for 80 million dollars. When
asked why he did 30, he said: mot
that the offer was not a good one.
Perhaps it was. But, then, that is
such a great amount of money that
1 did not know how I should in
vest it if 1 had it in my hands.
I'm too old to face suoh task.
And for that reason I rejected the
offer. L considered it immeasur-
ably easier to sit quiet and take
my income from copper as the
metal comes cut of the ground
than to have such a mountain of
money suddenly thrown upon my
hands and be compelled to find
ways of investing it so that it
would be safe"

valuable Philanthropy.

While there is probably no rem

the floods that recently swept de.
struction over parts of Missouri and
Kansas the American people en-
phasized their willingness to help

distress. This was philanthropy
of the highest order. Carnegie

when it comes to relieving human
suffering the specialized philan.

7 have been repeatedly asked by
many of our citizens why it is that
our streets and cutters are allowed
to grow up in weeds and are re-
ceiving such little attention at the
hands of our street committe.
This does not speak we'll for our
towns appearance, the neatness
and cleanliness thereof, both being
especially noticed by strangers
coming into our city.
Nothing adds to the looks of a
town as much as a we'll regulated
system of street cleaning and the
nestness of these avenues at all
seasons of the year.
1t is true, that our streets have
been torn up by the tapping of the
water mains, sewers and the laying
of crossings, but the committee in
to whose hands the repairing and
keeping of the streets is intrusted,
have of late, sadly neglected their
duty.
If the corporation is not in a con.
dition financially to pave the streets
for goo lness sake let Us keep them
free from weeds. trash and other
refuse, and he who makes the move
in this line, will receive all praise.

Neck is Broken.

Arthur D. Larikn, 80 years of
age, was at work at White Rock
pressing hay last December, when
he fell distance OF 10 feet, strik-
ing on his head in such a manner
that he broke three of the verte-
brae of the neck. The injured man
was removed to the Maine General
Hospital in Portland, where q
plaster cast was fitted to him,
incasing his body nearly to the
waist, and the greater part of the
head except the face.
He has had the cast renewed every
three weeks since the accident the
physicians hoping that by this
method the bones will unite, but
on his visit to the hospital last
week, when critical examination
was made, the surgeons found that
the bones showed no signs of
reuniting and decided that an
operation would be necessary.
Larkins suffers in his plaster
cast, but has great courage and
perseverance He has wife and
two children, and for some time
has had charge of light work on
machinery, by which he supports
his family. He says he will wear
the cast all his life rather than sub.

Plan For Navigating Amazon.

w. e. O'Keefe, of Memphis, who Is
in Joplin temporarily, is one of q party
who have a novel plan for going UP
the Amazon River. The river, as is
well known, passes through country
which has never been explored. The
forests are practically impenetrable,
the air is deadly to all but natives, and
the natives are extremely unfriendly
and dangerous. Mr.. OKeefe and his
party intend to navigate the river in a
steel boat, which will be propelled by
gasoline, and will have guard rail
which can be charged with electricity.
The boat will be eighty feet long and
seven feet deep. The steel exterior
will protect the party from any weap'
one the natives are likely to have, and
if they should attempt to board they
would be given an electrical shock
from the guard rail. There will also
be a turret on the boat containing two
rapid-fire guns.

BOYS IN TRAINING.
The Young Athlete Should Have All
Around Development

| AROUND DeVeiOphoh''
The first care of the school athletlC
trainer should be to remember that Nv
is training boys, and that he mas Io'
full grown men under his charge Inc
growing boy is capable of great uea'
of work. but this should not be mace
too severe, OF he will lose the nervous
force which is at the bottom OF al
success in any kind of athletics. lhc
exercise should be made as pleasant
as possible, and the young athlete
should not be allowed to specialize, or,
at least, not in the same manner as inc
full-grOwn athlete. 1t is all very well
for the young athlete 10 have his FAVOR
/ lite event, and to have one in which he
is most proficient, but he should also
| have certain amount Of sprntlng. dis
lance running, hurdling, jumping ana
especially exercise in some form OIL
light gymnastics, such as the chest
weights, Indian clubs or dumbbells.
This will give him the necessary rein
forcing of auxiliary muscles which he
will need later on when as college
man he makes a real specially of some
event. By giving the young athlete
exercise that tends to On. all-round de
velopment the trainer will be fut1H
ing the object of scholastic athlet1ca
which is to send the young man forth
from the school fitted for college not
only in mind but in body as well,
In their great desire to twin OUT many
trainers lose sight of this real object
of athletics in any school. They must
have winners at any cost, and they
force the young athlete to such an eX
tent that, though while at school no
does some very creditable perform
ances, he is never heard Of afterward
because his nervous force has been
impaired This is the great danger
toward which competitive scholastic
athletics are drifting, and it is the duty
of the principals to see that the future
health of the boys intrusted to their
charge is not forever lessened through
over-anXious athletic instructors.
The principal should also be most
careful in the choice of trainer, who,
because he is older, may exercise very
great influence on the boys ideas Of
fairness and true sportsmanship.
With but one remark on diet we shall
turn our attention to training proper
The young athlete need not undergo
any system of diet. He should be
merely cautioned against eating too
much pastry. etc, and three or fou1
days before Il competition the trainer
should ask him to give up everything
but plain, healthy food, leaving out
pastry, candy and all sorts of highly
seasoned viands, for if he attempts to
put them under a strict regimen they
will either go to one extreme or the
Other-St. Nicholas.

Love Making i'm Various Lands.

A curious inquirer into amOrOus Gus
toms and traditions has lately set forth
some interesting observations on "the
way of man with maid" in different
parts of the world. In Japan, it ap'
pears, the affair is carried on With
characteristic delicacy. There. the
lover who wishes to declare his love
throws a bunch of plumfower buds in
to the lady's conveyance as she enters
it on her way to the wedding OF a
friend. Should she fasten them to her
gown it signifies that the Suitor is ac'
eepted; should she throw them away,
however the fates are against him
In the arctic regions a less amiable
habit prevails. The Eskimo lover cares
little for the usual amenities of civiliza
ton; he walks boldly into the fail
ones abode, seiZes her by the hair, OF
by her garments Of fur, and drags her
away to his home.
The Hungarian gypsies use cakes as
love-letters. A coin is baked into the
sweetmeat which is then thrown at
the favored lady as she passes by. If
she eats the cake and retains the coin
all is WELL but if she should fling back
the silver. it would be fatal to the
lovers hopes. Among the savages OF
the Arabian desert the girl Is ap'
preached without ceremony while pas
turing her focks. She resists strenu
ously, attacking her suitor with sticks
and stones. If he succeeds in driving
her into her fathers tent she is his
but if she should repulse him, lifelong
disgrace would be his portion.-Har'

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions

Conditions continue satisfactory out
side the region OF speculation, many
reports indicating further improve
ment. During recent months the two
disturbing factors have been labor con-
troversies and weather conditions, but
each week has brought better things
in these two respects until the outlook
contains much that is encouraging
1t is season Of uncertainty in the
manufacture Of cotton goods, and
nothing in the nature OF improvement
can be expected until the artificial po-
sition OF the raw material is radically
altered. AS supplies diminish there is
a corresponding stiffening of quota
tons. Mills are steadily curtailng
production, both here and abroad.
New lightweight woolens are being
opened with fair results only, buyers
exhibiting no anxiety regarding the fu-
ture.
