The Teteran.


America is the young mans country,
We are told, because so many of the
conspicuous figures among us are
young men, The thing is said conven-
tionally. as if there were some moral
virtue in being young; as if. too. the
greatest tragedy in American history
was not the death some forty years ago
of half million men in the prime of
life. which deprived our generations of
its wisest counselors. Experience is
the only school which gives a degree
honored Of all men, and a man Of three
score. with the vigor of life still in him.
should be the most useful citizen of a
community.
The awful catastrophe at Baltimore
furnished a splendid instance. The con-
fisgration had been raging .or twelve
hours. Chief Horton of the Fire De-
partment had been disabled by a live
wire The fighters were without a head
Then William c. McAfee, veteran fire
chief. retired for age and accounted an
old man. offered his services to the
Mayor. They were accepted Donning
his oilskins and grabbing his trumpet
the old chief went into action. At once
the men knew they had leader. They
needed one. The fire was roaring
down to the river bank where were
some great rosin works filled with tur-
pentine.- And as they went so must
go East Baltimore.
There will he Ii to pay if the
fire gets into that rosin," yelled Nc
Afee through his trumpet. IF enough
of you men will follow me, well go
in there and dump the whole outfit
into the bay"
They followed the leader and
they saved East Baltimore.-Leslie

Strong Copper Market.

New York Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin--Active, strong and buoyant is the phrase that expresses the conditions of the cop per market at the moment. The one element that has been lacking has now been introduced through larger contracts placed by domestic consumers for both Lake and Flee trolytic copper. It is estimated by those in q position to know that do- meStic consumption during the last quarter of the year will be nearer i0.oOo,o0) pounds than 30.00O. .0OO pounds. That is. in the neighbor- hood of 1S.O00 tons instead of 16.OOO tons, which has been the estimate heretofore. This means that the combined foreign and domestic con sumption of copper during the last quarter will be greater than the cur rent production and imports com bined, which means further draw ing on surplus stocks. The result is reflected in the higher prices. The Anal gamated interest iS reported to have advanced the price of cleo trolvtiC to l3 cents in the local mar ket and to e60 los abroad, with sales made in some foreign markets, at least, at the advance. Round tooages of electrolytic are reported to have
 been sold at l2k cents for November and December shipment, and the Calumet X Hecla and Quincy are credited with large sales also to do- mestic consumers at l3 cents for No vember and December shipment
 The October shipments. it is ex- pccted. will run at least lS.OoO tons. possibly more. but as November ship ments will be especially heavy. based upon recent large contracts, there may be some anticipation of Novem- Der exports in October. \ very heavy movement Is anticipated up to the first of January, probably even exceeding the already unprecedented average of 10000 tons per month.

 It iS reported that the famous Las Chispas gold mine owned by Pedro Ceni has been sold for $J.OOO, ,OOO to English capitalists. This mine is in the Arizpe district and ore of the old time gold producers. It's history reads like romance Some years ago Pedro Ccni, q poor s. iss peddler, came to the mine and asked for work. He was given job and when all the visible ore had been worked out the mine was closed down and Ceni was given the position as watchman. He spent his time dig ging in the abandoned workings. and made some money from small pock- cts of gold. The company could not pay his wages and he was given the old worked out mine for his time as watChman. After the property be- came his he set to work to prospect for new ore bodies. He worked alone for many months and was re- warded for his faith and work by dis covering rich ledge which opened proved to be q bonanza. Pedro Ceni developed his strike and made other strikes as rich as the first one. Con- tinued work showed that the mine had unlimited bodies of gold ore as rich as any that had been worked out by its original owners. The new owner worked the property for some time and made fortune of several million dollars and last year went to- Europe.

Some Seasonable Advise.

It may be a piece of supertluous advice to urge people at this season of the year to lay in supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t is almost sure to be needed before win- ter is over, and much more prompt and satisfactory results are obtained when taken as soon as a cold is con- tracted and before it has become set tied in the system. which can only be done by keeping the remedy at hand. This remedy is so widely known and so altogether good that no one should hesitate about buying it in preference to any other. It is for sale by all dealers in medicine.

On this haunted. eery night
Baneful spirits bring us fright;
kobold. pixy. elf and fay
Revel In their lawless play.
In the field and garden rise
Apparitions of surprise;
Tricks there are with flax and yarn
In the kitchen and the barn.
Chestnuts put upon the fire
Tell each lovers fond desire;
And fresh apples set afoat
In a bowl loves choice denote.
Dear this night is to the boys
And girls. who make no end of noise.
And play fond games of ncctared bliss
That have their climax in a kiss.
Let the moon be full or new.
Nothing is too rude to do:
Signs are mixed. and dooryard gates
Go where mischief perpetrates
Its ridiculous DEGREES:
No one feels this night at ease,
And on the morrow all the town
Will wear a reprimanding frown.
But whether one is sage or Ounce,
What avails it, We were once
In these tricksy capers seen.
Long ago, on Halloween
