This property was one of the rich

It is good to celebrate the day, and
in our humble thought no other nation
has a better claim to celebrate it than
our own. We think so, for when our
government was formed, which open
ed every opportunity for fame or for
tune to the poorest, it was aa acknow-
ledgment Of mans equality before the
law, which was ip strict accord with
the Master . teaching.
When our country broke the arm of
the oppressor in Cuba, fed the poor,
tended the sick, caused the island to
be cleansed, drove back the pestilenee
to it's lair, opened the schools for the
children, and bidding the people be
careful of the blessings that had come
to them, sailed away, it was the Ma
ton g way of repeating to the world
in potential tones the Sermon on the
Mount.
And the light is shining on and on,
brighter and cleares every day; the
worlds syrannies are breaking down,
one after the ether; the most enlight-
ened nations are drawing nearer to
each other and trying to formulate a
code which shall Danish war, new forms
Of charity are s%pringing up daily; fra

darkness is being pushed back: the
first rays of the dawn OF the day OF
universal peace are growing rosy in

coming of the siuiess one. Why, then,

HEROIC WORK IN THE
RESCUE OF ELY MINERS

ELY, Nevada, Dec. 15.-Cheerful
and hopeful, the three miners entombed
in the Alpha shaft at the 'Giroux
mines, are awaiting their liberation by
the heroic men who are toiling night
and day above them. The rescuers
are in more peril than are the men
imprisoned by the thousands of tons
of rock and earth, for should another
start, which is likely to happen ct
any minute, certain death will be the
portion Of those game fellows who,
stripped to the waist, are working like
madmen to rescue their companions
from their living tomb.
The entrapped men arc in no dan
ger of perishing, 30 long az the 6-inch
overflow pipe, used to carry water
to the surface, from the 1OOO-foot lev
ell, remains intact. Through this pipe
food and water are lowered in vessels
made of Pinch Pipe cut 6 inches long,
with caps screwed on each end. The
men are kept constantly on q windlass
lowering these vessels, filed with
food and water, and hoist them up
again when emptied by the men below.
luz AOoO anu wafer arc Oeluk otOLcu
to insure a supply to last the men
until they a be liberated, in
case the pipe should become detached
from the pressure of the ground on the
side Of the shaft ON which, it appears,
has not been seriously disturbed as
yet. s
Two weeks at least win be required
to reach the men through the mass of
debris. Aside from removing the i'm
mense amount Of earth and rocks, it
win be necessary to "catch up'' the
loose ground as the shaft 10 opened,
a task requiring great are and skill
and one which only q practical miner
can appreciate. Fsf
The true state Of affairs is being
concealed from the imprisoned men,
and they are hopeful Of being liberated
within a few days. They discuss
their predicament with their friends
above, and all seem to be in the best
of spirits.

From Goodwin's Weekly.
Advertisers want the holiday papers
a few days in advance of the holidays,
that the people may know where to
buy. But real Christmas will be here
on Wednesday next; Christmas with its
carols, Christmas with the ringing Of
bells at its coming; with the solemn
pomp of it's celebration-organ, choir,
incense; with it's gifts, its holly, its
mistletoe; the great day for children,
the emblem of a world redeemed, the
symbol of mans final salvation. 1t
celebrate the most momentous event Of
the ages-the bending Of the Infinite
in spoken blessings to men, and to the
believer is the date when a link was
connected between the lowly earth and
the majestic heavens. Fly 80
1t is held as the anniversary of the
coming of a Savior, Of one when the
world was given over to cruelty and
strife, came preaching peace and good
will. The unbeliever, if fair, will adj
nit that from that epoch real civiliza-
ton as we understand the word, was
born. Before that the law of might
ruled; men before that were learned,
and wise, and brave; the words they
spoke, the deeds they performed, have
never been excelled; in art and arms
they were magnificent. But justice
to the poor, mercy to the unfortunate,
that great human charity which is now
stretched out in it's warm robesp were
never known. They all date from that
life which was spent here in poverty
and want, and which went out in agony
and degradation. Treated as God or
man, the world has never seen any
other such an one; none other left such
an influence behind him.

PEACE IN THE ORIENT.

Your Enemies Instantly Transformed
Into Humble Noncombatants.
One of the characteristics Of East
ern peoples which makes life among
them hard for Western conquerors is
their readiness to transform them
selves from fighting men into appar-
emily meek and humble noncombat-
ants when an overwhelming force Of
soldiers comes along. In Burma this
made much trouble for an English col
umn, whose experiences are told by
the author of "A People at School"
We were in very hostile country.
That was easy to see. When we went
out OF town we were fired upon We
thought reprisal necessary, and tried
it-but to retaliate you must have
some one to retaliate on. We saw
no one.
Day after day we marched over
barren hills and through struggling
villages and looked for foes We
found only villagers They titled their
fields and looked upon us curiously.
When we asked where the enemy was
they shook their heads and said they
knew of none
Where are the dacoits? we asked.
What are decoits?" they answered.
Evil men with guns" we said.
They shook their heads. They were
all peaceful cultivators, and knew
nothing Of such things.
Then we went on, and each peaceful
cultivator unearthed his gun and fol-
lowed us, to get a potshOt at us.

knitter's Romance.

Romance may certainly figure in
many Of the knitted waistcoats and
gorgeous stockings worn. by our under
graduates to-day, but these have not SO
romantic an origin as the first of these
articles produced in.this country. For
tradition has it that William Lee, who
in the sixteenth century invented the
knitting frame on which both stock
ings and waistcoats were produced
mechanically, was driven to this piece
CT ingenuity by the cruel fiouting OF
the lady he loved who happened to be
a stocking llnitter.
Enraged at his failure to make an
impression on her heart, he sought to
make it on her purse by killing her
means of livelihood; and one is glad
to read that all stocking makers COM
bined to Illustrate his cruel purpose,
with the result that he fled with his
invention to France, where he finally
died of broke nheart, whether for
love of his lady or of his spoiled IN
vention tradition does not say.-Lon'

Some Of the enterprising farmers
OF Davidson and Turner counties,
South Dakota, are forming an asso-
citation for the purpose of introducing
electricity in the farming communi-
ties.
They expect to utilize electricity in
blowing and cultivating the soil, har-
vesting the crops, running farm ma
chinery and lighting the homes of the
people. 1t will be applied to the dali
ries, creameries and other local indus
tries. Power is to be put in the home
for the purpose of running sewing
machinery, laundry appliances and
everything requiring physical labor.
The plan of those Dakota farmers
is worthy the consideration of agri-
culturists in many sections of the
West. 1t contemplaes active co-opera-
ton Of neighbors for the purpose of
utilizing the natural advantages. 1t
means the Harvesting of water power
in the mountains and valleys and the
development Of industries allied to
farming that will increase the assets

What Women Do in Chile

There are some oddities in Chile
connected with the sphere of woman
that deserve mention. One is that
women act as conductors on the street
cars. Everywhere the passenger
meets the woman conductor, armed
with her bag and, as Mark Twain had
it, the blue trip slip for scent fare,'
collecting the coins fully as well as
her masculine competitor and much
more politely. In the shoe stores all
the statesmen" are girls and women,
and in the telegraph offices in city and
country young women are invariably
found as operators. And they do their
work we'll, too. But to offset this, in
Chilean hotel or boarding house and
in many residences men do the work
of the chambermaid. American ladies
are always shocked to find that man
servant takes care" of the sleeping
rooms in the hotels in Chile-Nation-

GOLD MINING IN SIBERIA.
Peasant Taking Lease Must Mil His
Ore At Landlords Mill,

ESHoaHe aNhiS d Lease MuSI Will tbs
Ore At Landlords Mill.
A curious and characteristic feature
of mining in the Orsk gold field, ST.
IBERIA, is the way the ground is pros
pected and opened up by the peasant
'tributors"
Permission is readily granted to sink
shafts wherever they like, subject to
the conditions that they can go down
only as far as water 1evel-usually
about sixty feet-and that all the
quartz extracted must be treated at the
mill of the ground landlord and all gold
extracted sold to him at Il rate pre-
viously decided Upon, leaving fair
profit for the peasant and an extra
good one for the landlord
There is no philanthropy about the
transaction, and the peasant is in no
way bound to accept the terms No
charge whatever is made for the use
of the mill. The field is thus prac-
tically developed for nothing-rich
reefs which would probably remain un-
discovered are opened up by the ''trib-
utors,' who frequently make fortunes
out OF rich strikes. The mine owner
is thus continually in touch with all
that is going on and duly records the
results of the operations for his own
benefit
