BRAIN LEAKS.
From Bryan's Commoner:)

From Bryan's Commoner9
No one ever wins by merely
wishing.
A clear conscience is a good cure
for insomnia.
The repentent prodigal never
criticises the bill of fare
The wages of sin is death, and
the ghost never fails to walk.
A task approached with dread
is usually doubtfully performed.
A whole lot of men who think
they are independent are merely
stubborn.
Men who have the easy jobs are
the ones who have tackled the hard
work first.
Men who have succeeded best as
leaders have had long training as
followers.
Heaven would be a lonesome
place if salvation depended on do
ing instead of trying.
1t is a mistake to think you draw
nearer to God by getting away
from your neighbors.
When you start out to look for
trouble it is a waste of energy to
take microscope along.
Children move in the right di-
rection much more readily when
led than when merely directed.
If the average man were as big
as he imagines himself to be the
world would be awfully crowded.
How often you hear it said of
some professional man: He is a
mighty smart man, but he drinks
so hard. The latter part of the
quotation gives the lie to the first.

THE SPEECH HE DIDN'T MAKE

man famous as an after dinner
speaker, agreed to deliver an adj

dignity and belonged to what has
come to be known as the silk

he parted his hair in the middle
and sometimes wore a full dress

therefore, that he should be intro

Go it old sport, yelled an en-
thusiast in the front row.
The old sport forgot his
speech then and there. Seeking
to collect his scattered wits, he
poured out glass of water, de-
liberately drank it eff and slowly
and impressively wiped his lips
with very large and immaculate
handkerchief. Clearing his throat
he began again, this time with
great dignity:

SALUTATlON TO THE MAYOR
Whole Town Greets Chief Executive
in the Same Democratic
Fashion.

Every morning Il 4rriage
drawn by two spirited horses
dashes up to the Buffalo city
hall, writes Isaac f. Marcosson
in Worlds Work. A man with
white hair and beard and wear
ing a silk hat and frock coat
steps out. \ newsboy rushes up
to hold the door and says:
'sGood morning, j. NJ"
Good morning. lad" says the
man. Then he steps briskly into
the big gray building. 1t is long
before eight O'clock and the
scrubwomen are washing the
tile floors. AS they see him they
say:
Good morning, j. NJ
"Good morning, ladies' is the
reply. 1t is too early for the ele-
vators to be running and he goes
up the steps to the second floor
and enters stately room hung
with portraits of Grover Cleve-
land and other mayors of Buff
falo. Here group of people

is already waiting and they, too,
greet him as u. N."-familiarly
but with respect.
81. NJ is James \. Adam. the
new mayor of Buffalo. Nobody
there bothers to address him or
to refer to him by his full name;
it is always j. n" Yet for %
years that name has been linked
with the highest commercial in
tegrity of the city and to-day it
has come to be symbol for eff
cient city government.
Formerly the saying in Buffalo
was, Go to j. N and get your
moneys WORTH Now it is:
''Go to j. NJ and get a square
deal,' and the people get it. He
has made fortune in business
with clean hands; he has
achieved success in politics with
out being a politician.
He has sacrificed a well-earned
leisure and comfort for the du.
ties of an office that he has made
the busiest and most fruitful
perhaps in its history. Under
him the municipal government
has become great business
establishment with the citizens
as stockholders. There are no

CARMACk ON SALOON PROBLEM

The following letter from Sena-

on the whisky problem, was re-
Gently published in the Memphis
News Scimitar:
I am heart and soul in sympa-
thy with the efforts of the Anti
Saloon League to rid the country
of the wholly pernicious influence
of the saloon. / believe that we
have come to the parting of the
ways with the whisky power and
that the time for halfway meas
ures has passed. The saloon has
sinned away its day of grace and
must be dealt with henceforth as
and incorrigible offender against
society. Whenever it has been
demonstrated that any business is
essentially injurious to public
morals, the public peace, the pub
lie health, or in any way to the
public welfare, such business
should come under the condemna-
ton of the law.
There are, of course, honorable
exceptions, but the rule is that

thing vicious in calling which,
even to save its own life, cannot
separate itself from criminal asso-

THE absurd contention is often
made that the abolition of the sa-
loon would injuriously affect the
prosperity of the community.
There are some arguments repug
nant to reason that they do not
need the refutation of experience.
Wealth is produced by the hand
and brain of man, and whatever
impairs the effectiveness of both
mind and body is q destroyer of
wealth. The tattered vagabond
wallowing in the gutter adds moth

puts him there.

Nine-Mcnths-0ld Gold Camp Which
Has an Enviable
Record.

Few camps in the state of Nevada, gold
camps. at least. have made a more envi-
able record than has the Round Noun
tain district. Unknown nine months ago
the town boasts a population, of. more than
500 people. There is a postoffice. bank,
stock exchange, hotel and a number Of
substantial and reliable business houses.
The first big discovery was made by Louis
ID. Gordon. d product of Nevada, who
now claims Salt Lake as a permanent
abiding place and who is already recog-
Iaized as one of its substantial and wide
awake citizens.
The mines of the camp founded by Mr..
Gordon, dozen of them, at least, have
made enviable records for the time they
have been in existence The Round
Mountain Mining company, which is con-
trolied by LOTUS & Davis. John s. Cook,
j. Z. Sweeney and Mr.. Gordon. has done
2,c00 feet of development work; built q
five-mile pipe line ana erected milling
plant that will go into commission about
the middle of January. In No. shaft,
which is down over zoe feet. eight feet
of s65 ore has been developed. this not in-
GLIDING any of the high grade rock.
Twenty men are kept on development and
the number of course will be greatly in
creased when the mill is placed in COM
mission and regular mining begun. AS an
Indication of the rich naturalization of
the ground owned by this company it is
only necessary to say that Thomas Will
son. a ieaser, has taken out over $4,000 in
gold dust with dry washers during the
past few months. He has not mined a
pound of ore from the lodges.
The Roun1 Mountain Sphinx is another
prominent producing mine of the new
camp. Until a few weeks ago, when the
control was sold In the east. the main
men in the company, the men who prac-
tically owned it. were W. III. Clark of this
city, J. II. Shockley and H. p. Dunlap of
TonOpah- Over 1900 feet of development
work has been done and one of the shafts
is now down over 200 feet. 1t is equipped
with a thirty-horse power hoist and all
other necessary equipment for 1egitima t.
and extensive work. Six lodges have been
developed i'll this ground anc the average
of the milling ore is above $50 per ton
in free gold.
The Round Mountain Fairview is also a
winner and mine mat has made sem
sational record. Enough high-grade ore
has been taken out and marketed to pay
for the property and do approximately
2.G00 feet of work through tunnels and
shafts.
Among the other properties deserving of
better mention than it is possible to give
them here are the Great Western, Com
binatiOn. Antelope Virgin. Round Noun
tain Extension, Sphinx Extension, Round
Mountain Central and some others. The
camp is steadily forging ahead and is des-
tined to make splendid record during the
year to come.
