Of catching some unaware capi-
talist asleep, the mine was "salted''
and rumors set afoat. This was
all done in SO willy a manner. that
there was absolutely no chance
for legal action, and there was no
redress.
Perkins & Blackler were poor
men once more. Did ever NOR
tai suffer the ups and downs that
fell to our heroes lot. before? We
think not, unless he was an eleva-
tor man. And the farmers? Well,
Perkins need not look to them for
assistance again. That is stating
the situation mildly.
II think said Perkins to his
partner, eve had better get the
government to appoint someone,
to act as our guardians. We are
certainly not responsible"

Modest, as synonymous, with
bashynl signifies that retiring man.
ner of behavior which is opposed
to self-suficiency and conceit.
BashtAl implies an awkwardness
of manner arising from want of
lf-conGdence. The modest have
not too high an opinion of them
selves. The bashful blush, hang
down their heads, and stammer
when spoken to. It is as charm
ing to converse with the modest,
as it is painful to converse with
the bashful. The modest are conf
dent, tho not conceited; the BASH
full have no self-possession.

Il Ps2loy-A Column.


A pillar is supporting pile. A
column is round pillar. A pillar
is smaller than column. Col
umns may or may not support the
roofs or arches of buildings. Pill
lars are always used in the sense
of supporters. Pillars may be
square, or even triangular; columns
are always round. We say 'sNel-
sons column, the "Duke of York's
column" but the Doric or Ionic
pillar. We say a column of smoke,
because it assumes a round form.
Roundness is the distinguishing
characteristic of the column.

TembLe- Church.

ZHHzDLH-CNNTLN.
The gods of the ancients were
worshipped il temples. The God of
Christians is worshipped in church,
es. Church signifies the house
of the Lord; temple is derived
from temblum, the Latin word for
building consecrated to the wor-
ship of divinity. The word
temple, however, is used by mod
ern writer's to signify the place
where God chooses to dwell; in
contradistinction from church, as
conveying the idea of the place in
which He is worshipped. This may
be illustrated in the expressions,
"the temple of the Lord;' and
ssthe Christian church. Since,
however, God is omnipresent, it is
evident that every church must be
a temple, tho every temple is not
a church. The leading idea in
temple is place, .. e., holy place.
The prominent idea in church is
aOoyyAip, !. e., place of worship.
The word church is frequently
employed in the sense of IAN as
sembly of the faithful" or to
specify a sect of Christians; as,
sthe church of Christ" 'the
church of England" the Catholic
church, etc., etc. The word tenn
ple is never 80 used.

Py0aSe-AbbLauSe.

Praise is the general, and ap-
plause the specific term for the
expression of our appreciation.
There is less reflection in applause
than in praise. We applaud from
impulse. There is reason in our
praise. A man is praised for his
general conduct, his steadiness,
sobriety, etc. He is applauded for
some particular action. Applause
is spontaneous, and called forth
by circumstances. We applaud
one who saves a fellow creature
from drowning. We praise a boy
for his attention to study, and
obedience to his superiors.

al . Oll CuO AAoA hOV' sll
Perkins thanked him, and, leav-
ing his address, went back to the
hotel The following day was one
that will ever stand out in bold
relief, as the blacklist day IN the
history of the firm Of Perkins u
Blackler. 1t seemed that the
mining company was capitalized
at four hundred thousand dollars.
The stock was in the hands OF a
few Winnipeg men, who were
more anxious to get their money
back then to operate the mine, in
spite Of it's apparent riches.
Samples we're produced and as
sayed. But the owners of the
stock declared they we're willing
to sell it at it's face value. They
had no time to bother with gold
mines. The deal was considered
two days later after Perkins had
made a trip to the mine, and had
some samples of his own choosing
assayed. They averaged even
better than the first.
Now the partners had expended
nearly all their capital in buying
the stock, and had not the where
withai to buy machinery, and to
get the mine in working order.
And here brilliant inspiration
came to their assistance. They
would sell some of the stock to
their farmer friends, and so cement
more closely the bond of fellow
ship between them. While the
farmers were making money off
their land, Perkins & Blackler
would make more for them in a
gold mine. It was a brilliant idea
too brilliant. The farmers
bought the stock all right. Perkins
& Blackler could have sold those
farmers balloons, had they so
desired.
When the sales amounted to
one hundred thousand dollars they
ceased. And then there we're
things doing down on the Lake
of the Woods. A five-stamp mill
was erected, hosting machinery
installed, workmen and miners
hired and the work commenced.
The rock was hoisted to the sur
face, conveyed to the crushers, was
crushed to powder, mixed with
water, and poured slowly and
evenly over the accumulators.
And did the gold pile up and
clog the machinery? Nay, not so.
At the end of a days run, the
gold taken from the accommodating
plates amounted to the large sum
of three dollars and seventy-Hve
cents.
Perkins wouldn't believe it.
Something was wrong with the
accumulators. An expert went
over it, and another trial was
made. Two dollars and fifty cents!
They drilled in different direc-
tons, all to no purpose. There
was no pay gold.
At last Perkins began to realize
that he had been made victim
again. And this became a GER
tainty, when Blackler arrived on
the scene with a few startling
revelations.
It seems that in the early days
of mining on the Lake of the
Woods, the Consolidated was a
paying concern. The stock was
distributed, in small parcels, all
over the country. A few men in
Winnipeg conspired to gain pos
session of all the stock by shut
ting down the works and proclaim
ing them as played out. This
was done. The small fry sold
their stock for next to nothing,

HIS luuOCuOuS O0Su0GuOC. Lilo Oil :
gbition seemed dead. He was con-
tent to lie around all day, merely
reading the financial news, and
smoking cigarettes for pastime.
His partner, Blackler, who had
not suffered the same blight, had
still some hankering after the
wheat pit, and had burned his
fingers therein on several occasions.
But past experience had taught
MIN caution, and he made no
serious inroad into the ample bank
account, which had been acquired,
simultaneously, with the appella-
aion, 'sThe farmers friend"
But grief is never permanent,
and, as was customary with Rer-
kins after serious reverses, he soon
regained his buoyancy of heart,
and began to contemplate another
of those financial coups for which
he was famous.
During short vacation, which
he and Blackler had taken to-
sgether, they had cruised in canoe,
in and about the islands of the
Lake of the Woods. Now. as
everybody knows, these islands
abound in mineral, and there are
at least three paying gold mines
within easy distance of Rat
Portage. One morning when the
lake was extremely rough for
canoeing they had sought shelter
I'm little cove, and to their sur
Iprise found indications of previous
occupation by white men. Upon
Investigating they found lot of
smachinery, all rusty from exposure
and disuse, and also a shaft Of a
mine, apparently deserted.
After the wind had died down
they continued their journey, and,
when they arrived at Rat Portage,
they inquired at an assay office
what the property was. They
were informed that it was the old
Winnipeg Consolidated Mine, and
Chat it had played out. Having
other matters of moment in hand,
ahe subject was dismissed from
their minds.
But one morning, as he sat in
his hotel reading his morning
paper, Perkins noticed a small
item which instantly drew his
earnest attention. It ran thus:
cit is rumored that the old
Winnipeg Consolidated Mine is to
DE reopened. A prospector is
said to have discovered pay ore in
the Immediate vicinity. Mr.. j.
X. Weston, the attorney of the
company, informed our representa-
tive that he had nothing to say
for publication in regard to the
sabove."
The paper was laid aside, Per-
kins meditated. Then he donned
fhis hat and betook himself to the
office in the Grain Exchange
building. Here he found Black
der and here they held lengthy
consultation, as result of which,
Perkins, about a quarter of an
hour later, presented himself at
the Office of J. K. Weston, and
: requested private interview. It
was granted. Perkins opened the
ball. II notice by this mornings
paper, Mr.. Weston, that there is
talk of reopening the Winnipeg
Consolidated Mine"
"Are you representative of the
ipress?" queried Mr. Weston.
"No, sir; l am a business man,
and take an interest in mines.

thought this might be good OPP

When we compare, it is with a

may be contrasted with, the quiet

be compared to a tree, because we

Found Porker.

Rolla Herald: After the snow
storm Of November last, j. f..
Knight OF Hansboro, noticed
that one OF his large pigs was
missing. He hunted all over the
neighborhood for the missing
animal which was @ large one
and in fine condition, weighing
at that time about 400 pounds.
The search Was unsuccessful and
Mr.. knight had long since con-
cluded that his valuable pig was
gone for good. But about .
week ago in shoveling 9 road
through a snow drift to q hay
stack, he unearthed the missing
porker, still alive but much re-
ducedin flesh. During the eighty
days OF Imprisonment the pig
had subsisted on hay and snow.
Piggie was fed for Il few days.
and is nov in normal health and
beginning to take on flesh.
