In Memory Ever Dear

"Well, see that you didn't forget Decoration Day." said hard rock min- CT to the editor of the News.
 Then he went on to tell that years ago he had attended a graduating exer- else at public school in the state of Washington. Among the fair girl grad uates was one who had chosen for the topic of Ger essay. Living, Though Dead" The young lady explained her subject by telling of the great men of history, who in their lives were perhaps known to but few people, but now, be- cause of their great deeds and noble lives, they are known and loved by millions.
 This sentiment so affected the mind of our hard rock miner who now lives in Douglas that each year his mind re- verts to the graduating class in the Washington school. He said that he always connects that topic, handled so we'll by the school girl, with the subject of Memorial Day, because those who lie so quiet in the grave still live iu the hearts of those who loved them and wept when they were taken.
 So this hard rock miner whose work brings him in daily contact with na- ture's hardest side retains heart that is touched with the real gold of life, tender sympathy that brings him near to the sorrows of others.
 It is fitting that we should all learn this lesson, and as the day approaches which nation has set apart to do hon. or to the dead, we should prepare to give it the attention that is meet and right.

The At1in Trouble.

Upon the request of MT. w. G. Pax ton, secretary of a meeting held at Discovery, B. C., we publish the follow ing as a complete statement of con- ditions prevailing in the Atlin district:
 "The question of the day in the At lin District is the importation of Jap auese labor, and how best to combat it. Two of the largest hydraulic compa- nies operating in the district have brought into the camp number of Japanese to work on their ground. This is bad for the white man, as in ad- dition to the fact that this directly throws a number of them out of em- ployment, it will doubtless be used eventually as 8 means of lowering the rate of wages paid to the ordinary la boring man. Hitherto the rate of wages paid, both by the companies and by the individual miners, has been good. Most of the people of the district have formed themselves into a Protective Association, with the view of inducing men not to work for the companies em- ploying Japanese labor, and helping those who are injured by the employ ment of the Orientals. The members of the executive are taking every legit- innate means to further the foregoing praisewortby objects. They hope to enlist the sympathies of their fellow workers throughout the Province, and would be glad to enter into communi- cation with those in any way similarly situated, and ask for the cooperation of all who are in sympathy with the movement. Meanwhile it would not be advisable for many men to come into the Atlin district until matters are more settled and the vexed question of the little brown man has been properly disposed of."

Special Premium.

The ladies of the several depart
ments of the West Tennessee Fair
Association, accompanied by Pres
ident w. G. Farris and Lieutenant
Henry Moss. made canvass of the
city Monday for the purpose enlist
ing the merchants and business
men in the way of offering special
premiums for the fall meeting in
Union City. The result of their eff
forts was extremely satisfactory.
Union City merchants have never
failed to respond, and this year
they are unusually generous in their
inducements TO exhibitors at the
fair The material is being accumu-
lated and will appear in the pages
of the catalogue to be issued in a
few weeks. Mr.. Farris is keeping
the irons hot. As president of the
association he has been a tremend-
Gus factor in making the meetings
a success, financially and otherwise
1t is true that the meeting was
rained out last fall, but no human
power could have prevented the
flood. The association was some
what crippled by the incident, but
the energies for successful meet
ing this year are being redoubled,
and the chances are exceedingly
favorable for the greatest and best
of all our fairs. We congratulate
the committee in the work accom-
plished and earnestly hope that the
weather and the winds may be as
peaceful as lamb with plenteous
sunshine on the occasion of the next
meeting.

How a Flea Jumps.

1t is said that flea leaps 200 times
its height, and while it usually does
land on its feet, it often fails, especial
ly when it falls on a perfectly smooth
surface, where the claws can get only
a slight hold. A flea has six legs,
whose great length and bulk make
them so heavy that they must be a
great help in keeping their owner right
side up when 1t makes one of those
gigantic jumps, and when it lands up
side down or in some other way its
ability to kick is so great that not more
than one wriggle is needed to set things
right. A fiea's wings are mere scales
and Of no use. But small and worth
less as they are, they tell the entomolo-
gist something about the proper CLASH
dcation of the insect. To the flea itself
they have no value.-St. Nicholas.

DANGEROUS PIGS.
The Fearless Mexican Peeeary Will
Fight Man or Beast.

A writer in the st. Louis Republic
says that the most vicious and fearless
member Of the brute creation is the
peccary, or wild hog, of Mexico. This
animal seems utterly devoid Of fear
and displays an intelligence in fighting
man strangely at variance with its ap-
parently complete lack Of mental at
tributes.
Their ability to scent man is particu-
larry marked. The only thing to do
when they get after you is to run
sway from them as fast as q horse
can carry you, and then there is no
certainty that they won't catch you.
They are nearly as swift as a horse.
and their endurance is as great as
their viciousness.
4 friend of mine encountered a
drove of them in wild part of Mexico
few years ago, and his escape was
almost miraculous. He very foolishly
Then he took refuge in tree.
The peccaries kept him in the tree all
that day and through the night They
circled round the tree, grunting and
squealing their delight at the prospect
of a feast He soon exhausted his am
munition and brought down a peccary
at each fire, but this had no terrors for
the beasts.
Toward morning they began to eat
those he had killed, after which they
formed in line and trotted off. If they
had not had some of their own number
to devour they would have guarded
that tree until my friend through sheer
exhaustion dropped from his perch and
allowed them to make meal Of him.
The wildcats and tigers that infest
the Mexican wilds flee from the pee
carries with instructive fear, and even
rattlesnakes keep out Of their path.
