But this innocent discoverer of mil

the mortal remains of Bill" the
famous s4.Ooo.OOO mule OF Spokane,

Great Silver Lead Mine, the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan" These facts are
attested by the monument which the
grateful stockholders of the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan have erected to keep
his memory green.
The passing of Bill, who has just
departed for the land of perpetual
clover fields, recalls a true story OF
poverty and affiuence and rccites the
finding OF a mine where the monthly
dividends are more than s1s0,000, di-
vided among less thsn twenty stock
holders. Bill belonged to certain par
ties in the Occur d'Alene district, and
one day his two owners started for the
mountains to do some prospecting.
On the way Bill disappeared. Two

mountain districts, packing their tools

REFRESHING NEW NOVEL.
Daniel sweetIHnd" the Latest work
of Eden PhfIIpOtts.

one OF the refreshing new novels that
bids fair to have a wide popularity IS
Daniel Sweetland, the latest work of
Eden Phillpotts It is refreshing in that
instead Of having the usual demi-god sort
OF a man for hero, Daniel Sweetland
is distinctively human. with the human
quality of being able to make mistakes:
who succumbs to temptation, and who
backslides from grace, and needs to be
forgiven.
Indeed, there are times when the reader
of this interesting novel will pause to
wonder whether Daniel Sweetiand is
really a hero or only a new sort of ras-
cal
There are many of the qualities of Il
D'Artagnan about this hero who, charged
with murder, is manacled and placed in a
police wagon, guarded by three policemen
His captors are fully armed. He is alone
and fTiendless. and yet he resolves to free
himself.
How he does it would not be fair TO
the author TO disclose, but startling and
exciting as 1t Is it is all perfectly natural
and logical, and does not strain ones
powers of imagination The novel is one
that will appeal with force to all lovers
of a graphic story told in a powerful
way. It is likely to be one of the popular
stories of the day.

AN ACTRESS FEET

Every once IN a while some celebrity
steps into the public eye with her bare

First IL was Trilby; then Mrs Langtry;
then Annie Russell and this time il is
Mary Mannering. Whether the foot fad
breaks out intermittentIy, or whether just

permit of their being barred for public in

Pedicures used to be employed, for rea-
sons of comforts Now they are rising
gradually to the plane OF manicures, and
are recognized as being as necessary to

Mannering has been culuvating her feet
as a preliminary to appearing without
shoes and stockings in Glorious Betsy" e"
The foot, being rather a privately consid-
cred portion of the anatomy, IS not fea-
tured in the familiar interviews with
actresses" Neither does il appear pho
