LATE DELIVERY
 AT COST
NOT AFRAID FOR HERSELF,
ChiId's Only Thought Was of Damage
 She Might Do Train.

One day last winter a Vermont girl named Rosa Hines, 14 years old and farmers daughter, drew her sled to the crest of hill half mile long and then took a slide. Just beyond the foot of the bill are railroad tracks, and as her sled got under motion she saw train coming. She couldn't stop, and she saw that there must be an ac- cident 80 she waved her hood and shouted: Get out of my way! Get out of my way, or you'll be run overt" The engineer saw the girl waving her hood even if he didn't hear her words, and he brought long train of freight cars to sudden stop just in time to let her shoot by the engine. This is probably the first time in the history of railroading when a girl on a sled was given the right of way over & train. When she was afterwards scolded by her father she naively re- piled: "Oh, wasn't scared for myself l was afraid of bunting the train off the track"

Sim Fisherman Had Heard of the
 Wonders of Science.

H. c. Wells, the novelist, spoke at a Boston club about the wonders of modern invention. 50 thick and fast" he said, these new inventions come. life grows rather confusing for plain and simple folk. There was an old fisherman rowing in his boat one day when an automobile canoe sprung q leak near him and immediately sank To tha indignation of the canoes oc- cupants, the old man paid no heed to them, but rowed calmly on his way, puffing an old clay pipe. However, the wrecked canoeists managed to swim to him, and as they clambered into his boat one spluttered angrily: 'Confound you, why didn't you lend us hand? Didn't you see We were sinking? The old man took his pipe out of his mouth and stared at them in astonishment. Blest if 1 didn't think ye wuz one O them newfangled submarines, he said"

Alaska Gold.

Private advices from Valdez, Alas
ka. are that $1,20O,O00 worth of
gold dust and bricks is at Summit,
on Thompson Pass, on the way from
Fairbanks to Puget Sound. This is
the largest winter shipment ever
made between Fairbanks and Valdez.
The gold was sent from Fairbanks
on double-ender sleds as far as Sum-
nit, where, owing to the scarcity OF
snow, it was found necessary to cache
the yellow metal and secure extra
horses to pack the treasure. Armed
men are guarding the gold and may
have to remain some time. The ship
ment, which weighs nearly two tons
was brought down from Tanana by
the freighter Dan Kennedy. leaving
there Nov. Il. Seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars Of the treasure
is in bricks from the Fairbanks Bank
ing Co. and S450.000 is in dust, ship
ped by the First National Bank o.

EmplOye Declares that Such is Bound
to Happen in a Short
Time.

Rumors have been circulating
among the employees connected with
the United States Reclamation Serv-
ice that a general upheaval is about
these men, who is closely connected
with the department, that the shake
up is due to arrive very shortly. He
claims there can be but little doubt
Engineer Jacobs has been aware of
the conditions and hence his resigna-
ton. Engineers in charge of differ
ent portions of the work claim they
are denied sufficient help or tools to
carry on their work, and are con-
tinually being nagged about the slow
progress they are making. They are
told they must insist on having what
they need, and the fact of it's being
refused them should not hinder them
from repeating the request.

The Nan and His Job.

! Don't wait to be told Act on your
own initiative, and make of yourself
being distinct and self-reliant.
When a thing is to be done, do it.
Don't wait for the next man, but you
yourself perform the act, accomplish
the result and receive the credit.
4 Many men of ability are content
to carry out the orders of others, and
it is only when the unexpected hap
pens that they are forced to be in
dependent and made to stand on
their own originality Il attribute
my start in life to one day when my
boss went to the circus said a sue
cessful merchant. He left explicit
instructions regarding every detail OF
the business. My opportunity arriv-
ed, however, when the building next
door caught fire, and l had to direct
the work to protect our goods. The
boss had never told me what to do
in case of fire, and for the first time
in my life | had to act on my own
initiative"
1t takes a good man to execute an
theirs plans, but the man who makes
his own plans is a genius.
| Be original! If envy is ignorance,
then imitation is suicide, and the
man who waits to be told what to
do next will never be in a position
! to direct the work of others.
Depend neither on your employer
nor on your fellow employee to solve
! the problems arising in everyday
business. Better make break than
not make anything.

Oppose Parcels Post.

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 6.-Reduc-
ton of the present merchandise pos
tai rate from Is to Il cents a pound,
and the parcel post system as advo-
Gated by the Postmaster-Genera G..
Won L. Meyer, are not favored IL the
Inland Empire or the Pacific North
west. This opposition took definite
form at public meetings of the Spo-
kane Chamber Of Commerce, the Spo-
kane Merchants Association and the
Spokane Grocers' Association. The
resolutions point out that the par
cells post would be harmful to the
wholesale and retail interests of the
country, would retard the develop
ment of the west, kill or severely
cripple the rural merchant, discour-
age and prevent the establishment of
factories of many kinds in the west
where the wages are higher than in
the east, that such legislation would
directly favor the large trade CEN
tiers and catalogue houses at the eX-
pense of the small towns; resulting
in running the home market for the
farmer, the result being injury in
stead OF benefit The resolutions
add:
we hereby place ourselves on
record as opposed to such legislation,
and request our senators and con-
gressmen to work and vote against
any and all such bills"
The chamber Of commerce favored
the establishment OF postal savings
banks. provided the savings depoa-
tied with the post-office are redeposi-
tied by the government in the near
est national bank government depos-
itarv. and that every national bank
be designated as a government de-
positarv when such bank has com
piled with the rules and regulations
governing the same, also that the
government shall accept state, county
and municipal bonds as security for
all savings so deposited.

The Boomerang and Its Inventors.

The boomerang is rather puzzle.
One might think that the highest laws
of mathematics had been laid under
contribution in the perfecting OF It
The convexity on one side, the fatness
on the other and the sharp, knifel!ke
edge on the inside Of the conveXity
have the air Of having been carefully
thought out. Yet the people who In
vented this singular weapon cannot
count higher than five and are deati-
tute Of all the arts and amenities Of
life. Theirs is perhaps the lowest
plane of human life. Some people have
assumed that the boomerang was the
creation of an older and higher civili-
zation, but for this there is no evidence.
1t must be the product Of an age long
empirical use Of throwing weapons

Christmas DOn'tS.

Don't let Christmas giving deter
crate into a trade.
Don't embarrass yourself by givin Z
more than you can afford.
Don't try to pay debts or return OBJ
legations in your Christmas giving,
Don't give trashy things. Many an
attic could tell strange stories about
Christmas presents.
Don't make presents which your
friends will not know what to do with
and which would merely encumbec
the home.
Don't give because others expect
you to. Give because you love to. If
you cannot send your heart with the
gift, keep the gift.
Don't give too bulky articles to
people who live in small quarters,
unless you know that they need the
particular things you send them.
Don't wait until the last minute to
buy your presents, and then, for lack
of time to make proper selections,
give what your better Judgment con-
dennis.
Don't decide to abstain from CIV
ing just because you cannot afford
expensive presents. The thoughtful-
ness Of your gift, the interest you
take in those to whom you give, are
the principal things. The intrinsic
value of your gift counts for very
little.
Don't give things because they are
cheap and make a big show for the
money. AS a rule it is a dangerous
thing to pick up lot OF all sorts OF
things at bargain sales for Christ
mas presents. If you do, there is
always the temptation to make in
appropriate gifts. Besides there Is
usually some defect in bargain ar
ticles, or they are out of style, out
of date, or there is some other rea-
son why they are sold under price
