The fact that men are inclined to
"pass up" the good things at home
because OF tho ever. r.present desire to
pro ,pect In localities beyond the
horizon, leads to many really anus
ing incidents In connection with the
various phases OF the mining industry
Of the west, one of which IL that

often overlooked at home, we have
ouly to call the attention OF reports

TO YOUNG MEN ON STICKING

A friend of ours who has stud
led the subject of smoking from a
financial standpoint has reduced
his conclusion to the exact figures.
We give our friends figures as a
hint of what a young man might
accomplish between now and the
year 1925 by denying himself one
more or less harmful luxury:
A young man smokes one cigar
after each meal, or three day,
buying them at five cents each,
pays out in one day - cents, or,
in year of 800 days, $40. In
ten years the outlay would be
S547.50. If he had saved the
money and at the end of each
year loaned it out at ) per cent,
adding the interest of the preced-
ing year, at the end of ten years
he would have S95l.lf At the
end of fifteen years the amount
would be 81, BIO. 40, and at the end
of twenty years S2,024.S5. None
of these sums would cost him any
more than going without the
pleasure of smoking. If the young
man should, at the time of stop
ping the drain for cigars, take out
a 20-payment life insurance policy,
at the end of twenty years he
would have quite a nice little sum
coming to him, and he would hard
ly know how he earned it.

JOY. OF course the early settlers
of any good country are fortunate,
and if they have the ability to de-

so: but they should not follow the

An exchange remarks that the
farmer doesn t have to solicit pat
ronage from anyone. He doesn't
have to enter into competition
and strife with any OF the neigh
bors like Il merchant; he doesn t
have to Wrangle tor a living like
a lawyer; he doesn't have to de-
pend upon his collections reluct-
antly doled out as editors 90: in
fact he can be the most independ-
ent man on God green earth if
he manages his business in bust
ness like way. He has more time
and opportunity for improving
his mind; he has few alIurements
for corrupting his morals; and his
occupation is more conductive to
the highest development of his
physical powers than any other.

people of our country villages liv-
ed by farming, the men making
their sleds, shingles, axe handles,
scythes, brooms, OK bows. bread
troughs, and mortars; the women
carding, spinning, weaving, braid
ing, binding and dyeing. They
sat around great fire places with
hanging crane, fire dogs and a
spit turned by hand or by clock
work; they made their own tallow
candles and used even on festive
occasion wood blocks or raw po-
tatoes for candlesticks; they ate
from pewter kept bright by the
wild securing brush: they doctored
their own diseases by a hundred
different wild herbs, all gathered
near home and put into bags for
winter or hung in rows of dry
punches. Soap was made at home
and so was apple butter, cheese,
pearl ash, birch vinegar, cider.
