During the 40 years of his prospecting
he always has been cheerful and op-
timistic. There is scarcely a section Of
southern Montana and northern Idaho
where he has not made his camp. He
has toiled increasingly and always with
the buoyant hope that some day he

past, save enough out OF his fortune to
place him in affluence for the rest of
his days.

Gently found themselves compelled to
object in vigorous tones to being forced
to accept it, whether they want it or
not.
With the change of administration
in nearly all the offices in the building
it was necessary, of course, for each
Office to order lage quantities of several
kinds of blanks These arrived in a few
days. and were neatly slowed away in
drawers of the different desks where
they would be needed. Afew days af-
ter that a clerk had occasion to use a
certain blank. and, opening drawer,
reached for a pad of 100 of them But
when he took the pad out it was no lon
ger pad-it was a part y; auot:
Mice had eaten all the tabletting glue
that holds the paper together off the
back Of the pad.
He took out more of the pads. and
with each found the same condition in
different stages of completion. Nearly
every pad in his desk had been treated
in the same way. Other clerks looked
at their desks, upon the suggestion of
the first, and found Their pads much in
the same fix. The pads will now be
sent back to the printer, with the in
struction that hereafter he use glue
that is less palatable.
Meantime the clerks have set out
mouse traps in some of the offices. They
must be mouse traps, for they are not
large enough for rabbits.
