THE CASE OF BID DuRss.

Bid Dubbs sat on a fence rail for three hours Tuesday, whittling." "- Leesburg (Mo) Light
 To sit on a fence rail requires little energy. It is something, of course, if the sitting be graceful. and of course that Bid was graceful goes without saying, as it were, so to speak, never theless, and so on. But grace is not the whooptoroora of life. It doesn't put butter on the pancakes It doesn't buy peanuts at the circus. So, with all his beauty of movement and the ar tistic detail with which he draped his legs about the fence, Bid stands con victed, unless, perchance, our hero be the victim of some envious slanderer, or-killing time!
 But still the incident may be of some value as a warning to the youth of America. The spirit of modern Amer ica may be summed up in the little word. hustle. The man who sits on a fence rail for three hours and whittles belongs to another age and another land. He is wasting golden opportu- mites. He is allowing his life to go by and the world to turn around without his accomplishing what he ought to accomplish. In the three hours that Bid sat on the fence rail he could have gone to the village store and pOstOffice and with a few other sages of Lees burg solved all the problems of the government. He could have read a book. He could have made up his mind. packed his clothes in a bandana caught the train and headed for the city to become a millionaire. Instead he sat on rail and whittled,
 Are you a Bid Dubbs% Do you. fig urativeiy, sit on the fence rail and whittle? Are you allowing opportu- mites to slip past2 Are you letting the "Other fellow get ahead of you in the contest for modest Iithesome, be- witching Nancy? If so. change your ways. Don't be a Bid Dubbs. The Bid Dubbses never amount to anything Louisville COurier-Journal.

ASH PEAK MINE.

Shipments were commenced last week from the Ash Peak mines to the shannon shelter It is expected that between four and five hundred tons monthly will be shipped to the shan non The value of the ore is in the silver 1t contains, though it's principal value to the smelter is for the silica 1t carries, being crushed and used for converter lining. The company is now In position to produce a much larger tonnage than that taken by the shan non, hence it is likely that shipment will be made to Douglas, where silica is also in demand, being shipped in from Globe. The Ash Peak company is now in a position to develop its property from the income derived from ore shipments. It is also likely that the company will soon commence the erection of a cyanide plant, whereby it will be able to treat all of its low grade ores without the expense of shipping. The company has been operating sev- eral years and has d well developed property, and is pushing exploration work as fast as possible In addition to it's low grade ores it also has a mine which is producing ore that will aver age from $40 to S40O per ton in silver.

Success in Society.

The secret of success in society is a

The following dispatch came from Nor
folk lastnight:
Richard McIlwainc, Jr OF the charter
revision commission of Norfolk. left here
this afternoon for Richmond to deliver to
the Legislature Norfolk's proposed new
city charter. The charter will be offered
in the Legislature tomorrow, and will be
referred to the Committee on General
Laws. which will set a day to hear the
discussion from the people of Norfolk
who may desire to be heard.
The Norfolk City Councils will be repre-
scented by the charter revision commits
sion and Councilman Burke. The COM
mission will advocate the charter as it
stands, and Mr.. Burke. representing the
minority in the Councils, will urge an
amendment making the board Of control
elective by the people. Organized labor
of Norfolk also wants an amendment re-
quiring the submission of the charter. to

ny with those citizens Of Norfolk who are
advocating the election Of the board by
the people.
The continued illness OF Mr.. William
Wilson, librarian of the Senate, who has
not been abetto attend any session of the
General Assembly up to this time, has
been a source of much regret to the men
around the Capitol Mr.. Wilson Is very
we'll known. Though somewhat improved

the following resolution: Il

has been for thirty-six years faithful

tionately remembered by each and every
member with whom he has served. We

wish him a speedy recovery.

The position of tho fraternal order men
is set forth at length in q statement
issued yesterday, which declares that the
bill now pending in the Senate as a
matter Of fact. defines and regulates fra
ternnl beneficiary orders, exacts from
them annual reports and prescribes Off
cial examinations, so that instead of giv-
ing them broad powers, regulations and
restrictions are placed by the Senate bull
upon these beneficial societies, which has
heretofore not been tho case. AS the
mattcr now stands. these orders operate
in tho State without having to comply
with any requirements. and the legitimate
institutions are in favor of a law such as
is embodied in the Senate bill. because

other State has enacted for the regulation
of these beneficial associations.
