vile, the partner of Raleigh said the land was
"the goodliest soil under the cope of heaven" The
first settlement in New England was even shorter
lived and Goswald and Popham brought back their
colonists from Maine as did Otondo from Cali
fornia. The story of the hardships and sufferings
from cold and scurvy of the first French settlers
the ST. Charles is paraleled by the history of Wis
cano's voyage and landing in the Bay of Monterey
Twenty years after Otondo's failure England called
off its first contingent of settlers from Tangiers.
La Sale, the explorer, and one of the grandest
men that ever trod the American continent,
shot by his own men and his dream of colonization
ended. The pioneer Scotch colony at Darien failed
absolutely as did Selkrk's settlement in the Ca
madam Northwest one hundred years ago.
MISSIONARY ORDERS OF THE CHURCH.
The colonization of Lower California, such as
it was and is, was finally effected mainly through
the persistent efforts and untiring zeal of two Jes
nit priests Eusebio Kino and Gian-Maria Saliva
terra. Some day the lives Of these heroic and
sanity men will be written and will give added Dig
nifty and Importance to the history of Christian
missions on the continent of America. Once hav-
ing begun the conversion of a savage or barbarous
people the Jesuit missionaries never voluntarily
tire from the field. 1t was at time, and is not
now, part of the polity of the constitution ofthe
order to despair of converting a people who
spurned their friendly advances with bloody
hands welcomed them to hospitable graves The
Society of Jesus is not, by any the greatest
missionary body to which the Catholic church has
given birth Anyone familiar with Montalam
bert's great history, 'The Monks of the West"
must concede that the church has been the fruitful
mother of heroic and jealous missionary orders
Considering the duration of its existence, it must
however, be admitted that the Society Of Jesus is
on a plane of successful equality with any organ
ization established since apostolic times for the
conversion and civilization Of pagan nations and

A LIFE ON THE OCEAN WAVE.

A life on the ocean wave,
A home on the rolling deep,
Where the scattered waters rave
And the winds their reves keep.
Like an eagle Gagged I pine
On this dull. unchanging shore,
Oh, give me the flashing brine
The spray and the tempest's roar.
Once more OH the deck I stand
Of my own swift gliding craft;
Set sail Farewell to the land;
The gale follows fair abaft.
We shoot through the sparkling foam
Like an ocean bird set free
Like the ocean bird, our home
Wen find far out on the sea.
The land is no longer is view;
The clouds have begun to frown,
But with stout vessel and crew,
Well say. Let the storm come down!
And the song of our hearts shall be,
While the winds and the waters rave,
A home on the rolling seal
A life on the ocean waFel

And L have prayed-but vain has been nv prayer
For rest-sweet rest

And so l cry, weak and human cry,
Of heart oppressed;

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
An Epitaph.

Here hes poor woman who always was busy;
She lived under pressure that rendered her dizzy;
night,
Showed at luncheons and teas, and would vote if
she might;
She served on a school board with courage and
zeal;
She golfed and she kodaked and rode on a wheel:
She read Tolstoi and Ibsen, knew microbes by
name;
Approved of Delsarte, was daughter" and
"dame;"
Her children went in for the top education;
Her husband went seward for nervous prostration
One day on her tablets she found an hour free
The shock was too great, and she died instantleei

THE LOST CHORD.

Seated one day at the rogan,
] was weary and i'll at ease;
And my fingers wandered idly
Over the noisy keys.
/ know not what I was playing
Or what I was dreaming then,
But [ struck one chord of music
Like the sound of grand amen.
1t flooded the crimson twilight,
Like the close of angels psalm,
And it lay on my fevered spirit
Like touch of infinite calm.
It quieted pain and sorrow
Like love o'ercoming strife;
It seemed harmonious echo
From our discordant life.
It linked all perplexing meanings
Into one perfect peace,
And it trembled away into silence
As if it were loath to cease.
l sought, but seek it vainly,
That one lost chord divine
Which came from the soul of the organ
And entered into mine.
i may be that deaths bright angel
VIII speak in that chord again;
1t may be that only in heaven
] shall hear that grand amen.

country. We have had long season
of wonderful development and pros
peritv and in the natural order OF
things a reaction is due. Prices OF
everything are high, living expenses
are too high, building material is too
high. the pace has been too rapid AT
the prevailing cost of things there are
very few enterprises which capitalists
can undertake from which they can
expect to receive even moderate re-
turns for the money necessary to De
invested. Capitalists won't go into
new undertakings unless they see at
least fair prospect of at least rea-
sonable returns. The view of such,
at present, is very limited, hence the
cessation of new undertakings. 1t is
bad time for the laboring people to try
to enforce demands for higher wages.
and there is great danger that their
present action may turn out disas-
trously If they had made their de-
mands few years ago they would
have had a better chance of succeed
ing. 1t is, however, fact that wages
lave been gradually advanced for the
past ten years. Employers acceeded
to requests for increased remuneration
by their employees without letting
things go to the striking point. Now
it is otherwise. The employers don't
see that they can, under present con-
ditions, stand any further advances.
History, however, shows that the lab
orers nearly always do strike at the
wrong time.

FLAG DAY.

The custom which has established
what has come to be known as flag
day is very commendable 1t is even
more than that, it is almost sacred.
We particularly refer to the presenta-
ton of flags, American flags, accomp-
anied with addresses to the pupils of
the public schools. The day was so
observed according to usage here, on
Friday, Citizens of prominence Gre
dited with being the possessors of
virtue beyond the ordinary presented
the flags and delivered addresses in
the various school houses. There
are several kinds of patriotism.
There is lip service patriotism. 1t
is possessed in large measure by
those fellows who make spread eagle
speeches about election time when
they are out for an office or are
paid for making speeches by some

The labor strikes and agitations
for higher wages which are going on
all over the country are, we think,
very inopportune, especially for the
labor interests. 1t is we'll known to
almost everybody but the rank and
file Of the laborers that a policy of
retrenchment was begun some months
ago by capitalists and corporations
and individuals who were extending
their works, increasing their plants
and appliances. The railroads have
not only completely ceased to make
contracts for extensions and for new
rolling stock, but where possible are
cancelling such contracts and aban-
doning new projects which they had
intended carrying out. There is no
reason why the laborers should not
know this as we'll as others, but I'M
fortunately they follow blindly a lot
of professional agitators whose in
terest it is to foster discard and pro-
mote strife and 5 IS. When the
railroads and iron and steel manufac-
turers find it necessary to retrench
the effect is soon felt by every branch
of trade and commerce. The carry
ing trade and the iron trade are a
sure index to the condition of the

The recent years of prosperity
which the country has enjoyed have
not resulted in equal good to all
classes. The very rich and the poor
have been the chief benehciaries. The
middle classes have benefited but
slightly The dividends to the rich
were greatly increased and the sti-
pend of the wage Garner was aug
mented, but not in proportion to the
increased cost of the necessaries of
life but still the laborer faired pretty

ever, are between the upper and meth

very little while the cost of living in

perity might prove beneficial to that

the United States, but also of rich
silver and gold mines.
Numerous palpable and glaring
frauds in mining have served to bring
discredit upon the industry to a. more
or less degree, yet the public is more
to blame than those financial pirates
that ply their trade uninterrupted.
Whenever the public ceases to look
upon mining as a gamble and accepts
it for what it really should be accept
ed-a legitimate business enterprise
one will hear less of the wall of those
who have been taken in by sharpers.
1t is the gambling instinct in man
that often sways him in venturing on
a mining investment, and nine out of
ten play the game with the same
spirit that prompts the piker to bite
on long shot. Those men who have
and are making fortunes in mining
exercise the same care in investing
their money as the average merchant
does in embarking in commercial pur-
suits, therefore he knows into what
he has put his money and also what
percentage of return to expect.
Cheap stocks are the disturbing
elements in the mining industry, ana
a tendency to play these as long
shots has brought many to grief
Speculation is spectators game
the same as horse-racing is horse
mans game, and the layman is natur
ally the outsider, or victim. In legi-
innate mining the speculative feature
can be eliminated, both for the pro-
moter and investor, but it requires
sound judgment, close investigation
and above all the knowledge that
something fabulously valuable is not
to be had for song. Therefore, if
the prospective investor cannot or
will not carefully examine into the al
fairs of mining corporation, or fails
to post himself on the merits of
proposition, he can expect to reap
nothing further than those returns
that fall to blind gambler.

The sale of wildcat mining stocks
in the east has reached climax.
For the past two or three years it
has been most flourishing indus
try" Brokers and promoters in
Vulnerable in New York, Boston,
Chicago and other centers of wealth
have become rich on the gullability
of the public afflicted with the get
rich quick mania. Nevada, Colorado
Montana, Idaho and Arizona are the
states where most of the fake mines
were staked out and the sensational
and glitterng reports sent out from
Utah has furnished very few of the
wildcat propositions. In number
Utah has more producing and divi-
dend paying mines than any other
state. The eastern people who were
buncoed into investing" in the fake
mines at high prices are finding it
out. They expected dividends before
this, but of course haven't received
any. In most cases no work was
done on the ground staked out. No
attempt was made to find ore. In
fact the promoters never expected
there was ore in the alleged mines.
Selling stock, not mining is their
business. Those investors failing to
get dividends became suspicious and
were seized with desire to sell out
They couldn't find buyers however and
the market is now flooded with
worthless, mining stock for which
the holders paid dearly. Wildcat
mines are now at discount and the
worst of it is that an injury is
wrought to legimate mining and pro-
pertites which are legitimate invest
ments.

er kind of patriotism possessed bv
narrow minded, ignorant, but sincere
people, who would get out and kill
anybody who didn't profess to have
the profoundest love and reverence
for some particular spot of ground.
This kind of patriotism is the most
common. There is yet another kind
of patriotism, and we think that is
the best of all. 1t Isl the patriotism
that is deep enough and broad enough
to embrace not only all humanity
but all creation. 1t is not bounded by
the limits of any state or country,
not bounded by any sea or ocean.
1t is universal 1t stands for freedom
of thought and action on whatever
soil planted, for progress and ad-
advancement, for love,-it is a part of
God for God is love. Few possess it,
but that's the kind of patriotism that's
worth while We don't value very
highly patriotism that tends to make
enemies of all outside some particu-
lar little circle and regard them as
such.

For real practical, instructive ad-
dress about our national flag and what

point that delivered at the twelfth

beyond the ordinary. The substance
of it was as follows:
1t is with a great deal of satisfac-
ton that am here today, having been
honored by the c. A. R. of this city
to present through your principal, to
you this beautiful emblem of our
country. AS you probably have been
informed by the daily papers, the
late legislature enacted a law which
makes it obligatory, that the flag of
our country shall be displayed from
the flag poles ON our school houses,
on every legal holiday including Feb
ruary 18th, Uincoln's birthday and
flag day | have no fears that now
that you have flag, that you will
see that it will float in the breeze
and add beauty too, and call the at
tention of the public to your school.
The question has often been put
to me, Why do you G. A. R. peo-
pie insist so strongly that the flag
shall be displayed from and on our
public school buildings?" My answer
is this; in Europe where they have
compulsory military service, they try
to instill patriotism and reverence for
the flag with the ram-rod; here in this
free country we depend on our pubic
schools in connection with other
studies to inculcate love for the
