1t possible that our love and our mar

thought so.".
But it will not be so," said George,
passionately. I'VE love each other
too tenderly, too fondly for that. Our
love Is not of the ordinary kind, my

All right, then; and don't you forget
that feeding bottle for the baby, or
I'll send you back after it, and mind
that you don't keep your dinner wait

passion of ten years ago, replied: "All
right, Lou; and I wish you'd sew
button on the back part of those
striped trousers of mine; you'll find
them hanging over a chair in our
room. Don't have the pork as dry as
last time, and you watch the baby's

DIR. G. T. Moore of the department

The day is at hand when the Unit
ed States has reached the top of the
list of the nations of the world. The
country has grown 80 fast in the
last few years that it is hard to keep
pace with the various great enter
prises of the government. The in
terest of the people centers in home
things. The American playwright
has at last touched the pulse of the
people and today the more success
full dramas are written around the
different phases of American life.
One of the more recent of these is
the new melodrama "Panama," a
tale of the great canal, whose theme
is the construction of the connect.
ing link between the Atlantic and
Pacific.
An American play with American
motives, filled with the life and en-
ergy characteristic of the American
people, makes "Panama" one of the
really interesting productions to be
seen here this season. It is booked

Crude Methods Of Mining Discarded
for Most up.to-Date Ideas.

Near the center Of the beautiful
mountain island of Shikoku, and
standing rather more than 1000 feet
above the waters of the inland sea
OF Japan. there is peak of sulphide
copper ore which has become a cen
ter OF industry popularity known
throughout the island empire as
Sumitomo Bessi. Here, for centuries
before the industrial development of
the new world was begun by white
men, the Japanese were mining in q
crude way and carrying the ore on
their backs in small wicker baskets
(such as are still used for coaling
ships at Nagasaki) down the IL miles
OF arduous mountain paths to the
smelters on the shore of the inland
sea.
To-day the marvellous little work.
ers are still at the pursuit of burrow-
Ing out the mountain, but vast
change has come over the methods of
working, says writer in the En-
cheering Magazine. Where in the
ancient times only paltry few hun
dred baskets of ore were each day
borne over the difficult trails, an out
put of 5000 tons daily now glides
down great galloway, and is car.
rted from the foot of the slope by rail.
road. to the sea. In short, there is
established at Sumitomo Bessis a
modern mining plant, modern in all
essential details of engineering con-
struction, and the wonder of the
transformation is that it has been
wrought without the direct assist
ance of single foreign engineer.
