Among all the men who. gained distinction in
the Russo-Japanese war none has attained high

Japanese first army, visiting in this country.
Until the appearance of Field Marshal Oyama be-

of the Japanese forces in Manchuria, and even
after the arrival of his superior officer, Kurokf
remained very much in the lime-light during the
remainder of the campaign

If you should go into the Offices of the Metro
politan Street Railroad company in New York
city, a corporation controlling several hundred
miles of trackage and many hundred cars, and
representing investment of $500, 100000, and
should have business calling for the attention of
the general manager, you would probably get a
surprise when he appeared, unless you knew him
For you would not be ushered into the presence
of a graybeard with furrowed face, showing the
years of business experience qualifying him for
so important a position, but mere lad-in ap-
pearance a college freshman. Tall, raw-boned,
keenly alert he would stand before you and trans
act his business with a sureness and briskness

SSome Questions For Women to Ask
Themselves.


Themselves.
Ask yourself these:
Am I too negative, too compliant?
E)e not need to cultivate positiveness
EY my character?
DO I confuse foolish sentimentality
x,-ith strong self respecting, ennobling
:sifection?
Are my ideals so impracticable that
Mhey never enter into my actual life
and beautify the real things around
.-Ee9
oo belittle myself with the petty
x<1ea that housework is degrading? Am
80 blind that l cannot see that 1t is
Ehe character and not the scrubbing
Fsr,1sh that sets the standard?
Have 1 tried to make my voice as
sornsical rs possible, and Is my desire
ia look we'll a sincere wish to give
p1aasure to others?
Am 1 strong and courageous enough
sv remain single, rather than compro-
rD5se in marriage by giving my trust to
~ man I cannot honestly admire and
respect?
Do try to keep myself alert and in
s-aresting by keeping in touch with the
221ovements Of the day and understand
sing civic and governmental affairs?
@->r do I confine myself wholly to the
H'aading Of the bargains and murder

TIE BEAUTY MAKING CARROT.



Supposed TO Give Good Looks.

ske most ardent beauty seekers. 10
.,latie it Il culinary delight as well as
-aaxn1y maker has been the subject OF
ynapy experiments.
Four young housekeepers have form
cd a club for the better understanding
s1f carrot possibilities. One luncheon
and one dinner are given each week, at
which some new carrot dish must be
eS,rred. A prize will be given for the
xnost successful dish.
So far the best effort in this line has
beer a preparation of ordinary cream
ed carrots filed into green peppers
.G1e top was covered with buttered
p,naadcrumbs and the whole placed In
"a moderate oven.
when there was tender. brownish
&-rlsr on the peppers the dish was
geady to serve. Accompanied with
Drown bread, sandwiches and olives,
Mhe course was decided hit.
The young housekeepers found that

These young housekeepers have also

Not His COMPLAINT,

A Snort Wnlle since NUMBER OF
amateur musicians in country town
met for the purpose of organizing an
orchestra. They We're successful in
procuring all the performers they de-
sired except an ophicleide player.
One Of the number finally volun-
teered to take up the instrument and
try to learn to play it. He had no
ophicleide; but, hearing that he could
probably borrow one from young
man in the place who was thought to
own one, he, happening to meet him in
the street one day, accosted him with:
"How are you, Brown? l heard you
had an ophicleide."
Brown looked at him in utter amaze
ment, having probably never heard Of
such an instrument before, and STAN
mered out:
"Well, IL was very i'll about two
weeks ago, but don't think had that,
at any ratev'-London Graphic.
Still She Wasn't Pleased.
Who should be the first to kiss
bride after her marriage? The clergy
man at a certain church has solved
the problem by taking this duty upon
himself
When Sarah Grimgal, however, was
about to be married she did not espe-
cially relish the prospect Of this part
of the ceremony, and she particularly
asked her sweetheart when making
arrangements to tell the clergyman
that she didn't want him to kiss her.
This the young man did, as directed.
"Well, Ernest" she said when he
had returned to her side, what did
he say when you told him 1 didn't
want him to kiss me?'
"My sweet" he replied, fortune
smiles upon US. He said that in that
case he would charge only half the
usual fee"
And sudden GOODNESS fell between
them.-Pearson's.
Tho Coal That Is Left.
The world still has considerable
supply Of coal. Germany is credited
with 2SO,OOO,OOO,OOO tons, sufficient to
last 1000 years at the present rate Of
consumption; Great Britain and Ire
land claim 10000, 100000 tons, with
an annual consumption about double
that of Germany; Belgium has 2S,.
100000 tons, France 100000, 900,
Australia 17,OOO,OOOOOO and Russia 49,
OOO,OOOOOO. North America is believ-
ed to have 6s1, 900, 100000 tons-more
than the total of the other countries
named. 1t is the tremendous increase
in the use Of coal that justifies alarm.
for while the supply Of the United
States would last 1000 years ut the
rate OF consumption in 1905. it will be
exhausted within a century at the rate
of increase Of the last ninety years
continues. No estimate Of the coal OF
other parts of the world can be made,
but Asia has an enormous store.

pect to be able to make satisfac-l
tory terms with some of tho other
properties to help them out unit
they can install a mill.
Fine work is being done at the
new Lancaster mill, which was
recently started. The amount of
ore saved is running six per cent
or better. The one concentrate
ing table is proving unable to
handle the fine ore and another
table will be added at once. The
ore is we'll cleaned and will assay
close to 90 per cent. This splen-i
did property is a big addition to
the many good properties which
are now operating, and strength
ems the faith all operators hay
in the outcome OF our excelleS
mining field.
The Heap-O'Brien has COM
pleted the installation of big
new boiler. and has housed it in.
The shaft is down II feet into
the ore. which is very rich, and
will be sunk through the full ore
bed of p feet before any drifting
is done. With the drilling that
has been done on this level, as
we'll as the development sur
rounding this property, the COM
pany has an assured future.
Everything is being pushed in
order that a mill may be built as
soon as the development shall
have progressed to n point to JUS
tify it.
The Hannibal and st. Joe COM
bination is building a tramway
to connect up its property with
the big mill on the Quapaw Lead
and Zinc Co.'S lease, which has
been taken in son the consolida-
ton. 1t has also bought COM
pressor, sludge table, steam
holster, and is getting in posi-
tion to run the combined proper
ties to their full capacity. With
the immense beds of ore already
demonstrated this company has
ore enough in sight to run it for
many years. Mr.. Greenlee, the
manager, is pushing the work
and expects to get the mill rum
ming by Feb. l.
The Sunburst has completed
the sinking of its No. 3 shaft to
the lime, at a depth of 81 feet.
The present drifting has been
done at the 72-foot. level, tnd
from this point to the bottom'of
the shaft splendid ore has been
found, lead predominating. The
development will be carried on at
the 91-foot level, which shows a
26.foot face of fine ore. The big
ore dump at this property is get
ting bigger each week, and from
now on will grow rapidly. No. 2
shaft is to be fitted up with new
machinery and put into opera
ton during the coming month.
Recent drilling on this property
continues to show the same ore
bed that was found in the origi-
nal drilling. This ten-acre lease
holds the record for number Of
drill holes sunk on it. We are
informed that no. less than Is
drill holes have been put down on

opment has gone ahead satisfac-
torily and the same conditions
prevail as at the Mason mine adj
joining il to the south.
The Micawber is sinking its
shaft and drifting at the same
time. Ore from this shaft is
very rich and proves the drilling
which was done on this lease in
1905.
The Lincolnville shaft is being
pushed right along and the drift
ing in all directions is showing
an immense face of free ore in a
conglomerate of selvage and
flint.
There is no let up at the Mis-
sion. 1t goes always and keeps
up its record for production. The
big lead found in the south drifts
is getting bigger as the drifts
are driven into the soft ground.
Mr.. Gridley, manager of the
Virginia, is getting everything
ready to start the new mill inn
mediately after the first of the
year. In the meantime he is
pushing the underground devel-
opment.
Mr.. Timothy is keeping the
Common-Law property going at
full capacity. The mill shaft has
been sunk to bed rock and the
pumps reset. so everything is i'll
fine shape TO make ore and make
it fast.
The Big Chief is certainly
dumping some very fine ore from
its shaft on the Peter Clabber
land. Its formation is the same
as the Mission and the NJ. X. &
T. mines, and it has the rame
face of ore.
The Mason has completed its
sinking at the mill shaft and is
now mining the full face OF ore,
which is ~ feet. The sinking
demonstrated that the rich ore
bed carried down to the lime and
that the entire bed is thoroughly
mineralized.
The Kramer-MorSe has two
cars of high grade zinc ore in its
bins ready for shipment. The
full face of the ore has been
opened up in this property and
shows 48 feet. Mr.. Kramer in
forms us that the property will
be worked double shift as soon as
the price of ore will Justify it.
West of the Mason and. adjoin-
ing it. is the Lucille, which is
now developing a splendid pros
pect that is showing the same
formation that prevails in both
the Mason and Myrtle mines.
The drilling has been done with
much care and proves that the
entire ten acre lease is well min.
|eralized.
The Omaha and Hobo mines
have been started again, after a
temporary shut down, and prepa-
rations for a big output are be-
ing made. Manager Watson in
forms us that a meeting of the
two companies will be held at
Omaha on Dec. 30, at which
time future plans will be outlined
for the two companies.
A new company has started to.
sink a shaft just to the north of
the McAllister mill and south of
the Mason. 1t is called the
wichita" and has twenty-acre
lease on the land north of. the
McAlister. This lease has been
drilled and the ore found in
all the holes. It's property is ex-
cellently located and we wish
them unbounded success.
