 His face had come near; she found herself gazing into it with a curiosity she had never felt before. It was homely, it was not unkind; in the ex pression was assurance and a slight pomposity. But Mary, being in an uncertain humor, jerked her hand away and turned towards the house.
 I'm not minded so,' she said. "Come, let's go in doors-'twill be cooler in the parlor."
 He stumbled over a loose stone, swore politely, then laughed and passed through the porch into the quaint little parlor. Mary sat in the window seat among the hydrangeas; {; he drew forward a stout corner-chair and lolled at his ease.

MAKE HOME HAPPY
SHOULD BE MOST ATTRACTIVE
 SPOT ON EARTH.
No Amount of Time or Trouble Is Too Much to Expend to Achieve
 Such a Result for the Children.

The successful home-maker ought to be more than the good housekeep- CT, writes Mrs. Bobby Chiffon in the Boston Herald. She must not only keep the house in the hollow of her hand in an economic and housewife ly point of view, but must, too, have the rare and beautiful gift of creating home into which every member of the family wants to bring their par ticular friends.
 A truly home-maker's house is a place that looks cheerful the minute one steps inside: an air that is quite unexplainable, ard that never is stud fed, but one that just naturally achieves itself out of the spirit that pervades and dominates the house. And it's the spirit of mother who wants her own house the most attrac- tive place there is, and a place that is hospitably open to the small noisy friends of Billy and the long-legged. shy friends of Henry Augustus. and sweet, quiet friends of the young daughter.
 The incest part of such home, too. is the close association of all these young people of various ages, boys and girls, for there is no finer. safer way of bringing up children than closely together. There is silly little age of both boys and girls when they have a proneness to falling in "calf-love," that may be easily slipped ever in a household filled with gay light-hearted youth who are like ly to treat such tragic situations with frank teasings.
 It's an alliance good for the girls. and particularly good for the boys. it gives ths m a point of view of each other that fn.lovs them through life, and makes each far more interesting companions of any age.
 Even if the having of sisters doesn't in some one case prove the safeguard for a youth that it's popula-ly suppos- ed to be-and mostly is-then the re- nembrance of some nice little fem mine comrade that he has always talk en a boyish care of will keep him from doing no end of follies that some of the other fellows" do.
 In his relations toward other young girls. those. perhaps. whom his sis ters are not by way of meeting. his remembrance of the young girl friends will be an influence to color his point of view.
 And then the girl who has been thrown all her short life with boys. brothers and their ehums. has a bet ter perspective on masculine nature than one who has not Brothers are usualIy more than frank on the ques- ton of the foibiex of their friends, and decidedly critical of the ones his sister plays around with" also she hears the frank criticisms of other ziris that urconscscusly color her own attitude towAFd uea-chfldren-

THE PENALTY OF ovERWoRK.

Work has been mans lot since the creation, but day of toll should not have it's penalty of pain. Why is 1t. then, you ask, that backache so often follows? It is because the modern tendency is to overwork, to tear down faster than nature can rebuild. An unnatural strain is thrown upon the vital organs, and more especially upon the kidneys. which have the work of Altering the blood free of waste and poison.
 The heavy tax of overvork-the strain upon the back that is SO com mon to many trades and occupations. is too great. The kidneys begin to fail in their work. and there is a double danger to health. The poison ous matter collects in the system. and the kidneys themselves begin to break down.
 Pain in the back is only a warning of trouble in the Kidneys An inflam- nation has set in. and a disordered condition of the urine soon becomes apparent.
 Too much or too little urine. with e constant desire to void the secre- tons: any noticeable deviation from the normal color; the appearance of c sandy sediment. proves . disor-

PoTosI.

At the Potosi developement work con
tinues steadily on No. 2 level with fat
tering results, the south drift on this
level is now in 435 it,, with good body
of ore in the face.
The electrical equipment for the Ad-
die mill has been installed, and the mill
will be started Monday morning, crush
ing Potosi ore. If the process at this
mill is successful in saving this ore it is
the management's intention to mill
several hundred tons, which will fully
demonstrate the high value of this
property.
Last Saturday W. F Sommercamp,
accompanied by Mr.. A. G. Butterfeld
and Mr.. H. L Mitchell, both of Weisei,
arrived here to inspect the property and
expressed themselves highly pleased
with the mines appearance.

The Talked of strike" Averted.

At largely attended meeting of the
Silver City Miners Union, to consider
the question of making demand of the
Trade Dollar Con. Mining Co., for an
increase Of % cents per day in miners
and mill mems wages, it is gratifying to
the business men Of the camp as well
as to the more conservative element
among the miners, to be able to report
that after heated discussion in the
meeting, decided vote settled the mat
ter, and no such demand will be made.
1t has been well known fact that for
some months past the camps in Owyhee
county have been filing up with tramp
miners, commonly known here among
their fellow workmen as "ten day menu
These, carrying cards and joining local
unions, have proven to be the disturb
ing element-many OF them agitators,
probably sent here to create dissatisfac-
ton and disturbances, and it is due to
this class of men that the question of a
demand for an increase of wages came
to the front. Then a conference was
had with the manager of the Trade Dol
lar Co and the men we're told that it
was not within his power to grant such
a demand, but he would refer it to the

Starting Up Again.


The Metallic Mining Company of Oak
land California, for whom Mr.. H. B.
Bennison has spent several weeks here
examining the we'll known Miller and
Walters Mining property, on The north
east side of Florida Mountain, has at
last taken over the property and is
starting work upon it in manner which
looks as il the company meant business.
The property was developed good
many years ago by Messers Miller and
Walters, then wealthy eattlemen in Owy
bee, by a crosscut tunnel to the vein,
which when cut, was drifted upon for
some distance south, and large guam
tity of fine pay ore extracted and re-
duced at one Of our local mills. But the
gentlemen then sold out their Owyhee
cattle interests and removed to Califor-
MIA, where they made more money, in
fruit raising and placer mining, in the
meantime patenting their mining
ground here and leaving it lie lille, ex-
cept for occasional visits, until last year,
when the sons OF Mr.. Miller, only small
boys when they left here, determined to
take up work on it where the elder
gentlemen had left off. One OF the sons,
George T. Jr., came here last year. em-
ployed men and cleaned out the tunnel
and drifts and again put the niue in
shape for producing. This summer,
another brother, John, came here with
Mr.. Benpison. and after inspecting the
property, have decided to go ahead and
work it Systematically. They have Sc
cured from the Trade Dollar people the
right to use a 100 foot tunnel parallel
with their vein, but about 500 feet east
of it, and cutting into the mountain At

is at convenient point to deliver ore to
a mill. From this tunnel, which they
arenow having cleaned out and the tim
bers repaired, they propose to crosscut
to their ore vein. They have employed
Mr. T. D. Fry, a we'll known mining
man of this camp, as foreman and will
put machinery in before winter and con-
tracted for power from the Trade Dollar
Company, whose power line runs
directly across their ground, for the re-
quired power, and as soon as their ma
chinery arrives and can be put in place,
will begin active work, expecting in as
brief time as practicable to add another
to Owyhee's already producing mines,
with another mill in prospect in the
near future.

which it really believes to have merit,
PLAYED with by such fakirs as this man
Norcross. As the Henrietta mine, be-
fore Norcross got hold oft. a good many
years ago, it gave promise of becoming
fine producer. But it fell into
the hands Of Yankee fakirs who re-
christened it the Proustite. After
wards, about ten years ago. the Old

men Of the Norcross stripe, got possess
ion and have been unscrupulously play
ing thu New England public with it. It
is this sort of work which prejudices the
public against legitimate mining invest
ments. Every honest mining man
should endeavor to have them exposed.
