I never pulled fodder in my life, but
usually get it topped on shares. This
topping helps to prevent the beans
from breaking down the stalks. As

Origin of Sub Rosa"

Latin or not, but how many are ia

phrase? says Victor Smith in the
New York Press. | learn from an in
terror decorator who is employed by
some of the heavy swells along the
Highlands of Fifth avenue that it is
now the custom to paint or sculpture
roses on the ceiling above dining Ia
bles in rooms where little or big con-
fidences are exchanged. This is a
return to the ancient usage. The rose
is the emblem of silence. Cupid gave
the flower to Harpocrates, the god of
silence, to bride him not to betray
the amours of Venus. In the middle
ages a live rose was suspended from
the chandelier when friends talked
over secret matters, and sometimes
was placed over the door, as a sign
that whatever was said must be kept
sacred. The banquet room ceiling
of Haddon Hall, of which we have
heard great deal, is decorated with
roses.

eral governments in this country
should have entered upon policy of
spruce-forest conservation years ago;
as a direct result of their failure to
do it, we are fast approaching the
end of our spruce supply here in the
United States. Already many of our
paper mills import millions of feet
of spruce logs from Canada every
year, and other American paper man
ufacturing companies have bought up
in the aggregate nearly ten thou
sand square miles of spruce lands in
Canada which they are steadily de-
nuding to supply their mills with
raw material. This is all well
enough so long as the United States
government imposes no duty on inn
ported logs and Canada lays no eX-
| port duty on lneIn. but CdHdud nIdy
almost any day impose such duty
on them, if only for lf-protection-
the Province of Ontario has already
done So An immediate result of it,
no doubt, would be the investment
of much good American money not
only in Canadian spruce lands but in
paper mills there; the United States
would lose all the benefit of this cap
ital, and the consumers of paper here
would have to pay duties on the i'm
ported article.
If we defer the closing of fair
trade-reciprocity treaty with the Do
minion much longer, the Kanucks
may easily and speedily be put into a
| mood that would lead them to take a
sharp advantage of our spruce and
paper necessities.

OF Interest to All Mining Men.

To large number of residents of
Ely a thorough knowledge of the
science of modern mining is almost
indispensable. No industry has pro-
crossed SO rapidly in the last few
years as has the mining industry. To
succeed one must be thoroughly
posted on these modern methods and
developments. And the very best
and cheapest way to get this neces-
sary training is by enrolling now in
the international Correspondence
Schools. Take your choice of a Full
Metal Mining Course, Smelling
Course, Metal Prospector's Course,
or whatever suits your needs. Full

OUTSIDE CAPITAL.

In every community still in the
development stage, there invariably
comes time when outside capital,
recognizing field for investment
swoops down and gobbles up every
thing in sight.
Invariably the pioneers are resent
full. They argue that it is not right
or just that they should devote sew
eral years of their life turning over
the virgin soil, only to have some
outsider step in and obtain the fruits
of their labor. Such expressions are
heard in every part of the country,
especially in the western states.
The writer heard man complain
ing only short time ago that he had
put in the better part of his life in
run across a proposition that looked
promising, but was unable to turn
it to account because of the lack of
funds. He sold out for few thou
sands of dollars and the party or par
ties to whom he disposed of his prop
osition became wealthy.
Such things happen almost every
day of our lives, not only here but in
every part of the country, at some
time or another. 1t does seem like a
travesty on human life, but let us
look at the other side of the question,
or rather, at the same side and see
if we can not take a different view
of it, There are two sides to all
questions, and the man who is de-
sirous of being fair will look at both.
Referring directly to our mineral
lands, they are always located by
poor men, or men of moderate means
who can only go so far toward their
development. If the pioneers of any
part of the country should say to
themselves: This belongs to us by
right of discovery, and after putting
in ten or fifteen years here in hard
work and enduring privations, we are
not going to allow some one else to
reap the benefit of our labors," what
would be the result? They would
remain pioneers" for the balance
of their lives and no one would re-
alize any benefits from their years
of labor and privation. While if
they make known to the outside
world what they have accomplished
by the fruits of their own persever-
ance and invite capital to come in
and develop the country, the "pio-
neers" will, in a measure, be reward
ed, even though the influence that
came to their relief receives the
lions share
This sort of capital should not be
antagonized, for, while they are pos
sibly reaping enormous benefits,
leave them out of the field and we
remain with an elephant on our
hands and the glory of being "pio-
neers' with nothing to show for It,

CANADA's SPRUCE ADVANTAGE.

In the Toronto Globe of Sunday

SCHOOL PRANK INJURES|
Willie Gluth Rendered I'm

Spiked Tin.

A serio-comic drama, which has left
bad tasts with the principals and
rather serious results with one OF them
was enacted Wednesday noon in the
German Lutheran school. corner Oakley
avenue and Sibley street.
1t was the old game of Johnny get

in the second room by his two school
mates Lawrence Thieman and Fred
Rabenhorst. For some time Thieman
and Rabenhorst We're figuring how they
could produce an electric jump out OF
Willie Gluth whose seat is in their
neighborhood. Taking a piece OF tin
they drove three eight penny nails
through II. Samuel Gaehringer. the
teacher noticed the preparation and
confiscated the harmless looking con-
traption from Thieman and later it
happened that Rabenhorst was called
TO the desk and while the teachers eyes
were averted Rabenhorst took the
spiked tin with him TO his seat.
Shortly before IL o'clock when the
teacher asked Gluth a question. Gluth
standing up to answer and that was the
opportunity for Thieman and Raben-
horst. The bristling tin was placed
where Gluth should have been and in
high glee Thieman and Rabenhorst
waited for results.
The second and third act of the
drama portrays young Gluth half un-
conscious from the pain and the cul-
prits in succession struggling on the
teachers knee wkile he measured a
rawhide over the ulterior Thieman
