Mother was off on an eleyenth-hour
and unsatisfactory wrestle with the
Christmas shopping problem. Sis had
chosen this gray afternoon to call on
a chum home from college. So Kate
had opportunity TO make herself as
miserable as she desired.
1t was now six weeks since Jack
had called-and six weeks is a long
time when a man is 25 and a girl is 20.
and each is very much interested in
the other. Just how much Kate was
interested was something unsus-
pected. Once Jack thought he knew,
but now all he knew was that he did
not know. When Jack suddenly disap.
peared from Rates perspective no one
noticed his absence from the picture.
To most people Jack had seemed a
part of Hates social background.
Some who had seen them together at
Grand Traverse had advanced him to
the middle distance. But of the fore.
ground no n thought.
What happened in July was this:
The Wilson's we're no more than
firmly established in their cottage,
which looks over Grand Traverse bay,
than Jack appeared at the hotel,
which looks over them both. That
was not remarkable, for all had been
members of that particular summer
colony for years. Then, the day OF
the picnic on the Point, Jack and
Kate found themselves sitting at the
green fringe of the forest looking out
over the blue expanse of the bay. A
hundred yards in front of them Mrs.
Wilson was gathering up the table
cloth and things.
There was a little sense of chill in
the air-a harbinger of autumn. And
there was a change in the atmosphere
between the two. The girls lips were
tremulous. The man vas agitated,
and strangely tender and brutal In his
speech.

them. I shall miss the in front
of your hotel; but | have no doubt the

You are clever, and, like most
clever people. a little heartless. You
know how things are different down
there. The people are different-why,
We are different ourselves. And it is
just the difference of which you
.speak-the difference between these
flowers and flowers of silk and satin,
between those lilies out there and lily
stems of wire and paper"
You are a little unkind, Jack" she
said. gently.

Yokkaichi is another japanese sea-
port the name of which is not as yet
familiar to the eyes of American
newspaper readers, yet its sea-borne
commerce last year reached $6,716,542.
Yokkaichi is 40 miles from Kobe;
it's a near neighbor go miles) of
Nagoya; one of its specialties is the
shipping of toys and curios to the
United States for the Christmas
trade. 1t has some serious handicaps.
THE port faces the southeast" writes
Vice Consul Gassett. There is no
protection whatever against wind.
The water is very shallow; in fact, 1t
is becoming shallower every year, and
even now vessels drawing rs feet of
water must lie at a distance of from
a mile and half to two miles form
the shore. In the winter, cargo
lading can be carried on without
much difficulty. but the port is sub
ject to treacherous swells in the
summer, especially >during June, July

THE RED FLAG IN AMERICA.
Oriein and Growth of Anarchism in the
United States.

The red flag OF anarchistic revolu-
ton is not native. 1t is of foreign
birth. and the propaganda has been I'M
ported with our millions of immigrants,
says Broughton Brandenburg in an
article on THE Menace of the Red
Flag" in the New Broadway Magazine
for June We have not only imported
the agftators, but we have imported
the masses for them to work on. In
America the movement is almost en-
tirely confined to the cities because
there are clustered the working peo-
pie. Each has it's alien branch or
branches and aliens coming from por-
Ftions OF Europe. where enormous mill
tary establishments alone repress re-
volt against notorious oppression, both
political and economic, are ripe for
foment. They know but vaguely what
their changed conditions are. They are
bewildered by the display of wealth,
predatory or fairly earned that they
see about them, not realizing that here,
as never in Europe, any one of them
who has the ability can become rich
man. The local center of each disper-
sion of the leaven of revolt will thus
be found among the aliens or among
people who have caught it from the
aliens. save as it has begun to per-
meate our colleges and universities,
and even there foreign professors and
TRANSACTIONS of foreign books have been
the cause of inception.
The actual leaven of revolt was first
imported into the United States among
the German malcontents, and 1t found
lodgment in st. Louis and Milwaukee
among the brewery colonies. in Gin
cinnati and Chicago among the stock
yard employees and in New York
among the brewerymen and dock la
borers. This particular bit of leaven
has never ceased to ferment, though
many thousands of men whom it then
affected. as they got jobs and homes
and began to prosper. forgot it and
would now be ashamed of the ideas
they once held.

D0iNGS ABOUT ERMAN
IN Tilt MINING LINE
Returning Party of Mining Men Speak
of the Situation and Recent Deals.

A party of mining men yesterday
returned from a trip through the Kel-
vim district and brought back favor
able reports on the situation there. 1t
was stated by one of the members of
the party that the Eagle mountain
copper mines on the south bank of the
ella river, opposite the Ray Mills and
adjoining the Sultana National cop
per mines on the east, and owned by
Don L. Pugh, James Shoemaker. Mike
Hickey, Rilla Ingram and Price and
Stevenson of Globe, was recently sold
and the first payment made on the
property by T. H. McGrath who rep
resents millionaire capitalists in Wis
consin.
This is one of the promising copper
mines Of the Kelvin district and with
good management and small outlay of
capital can be made a paying invest
ment. The property contains 81
claims. George Blackburn and wife
have sold to T. II. McGrath the south
extension of the Sultana National
copper mines and large force.of men
will be put to work at an early date
on those properties. which will put the
Riverside mining district on the map.
All the ore is of high grade and an
abundance of it.
J. Jay Sullivan of Kelvin and Phoe-
mis- has lately bought the Renfoo
group, containing gold. silver and cop
per and consisting of 20 claims. This
property adjoins the Troy Manhattan
Copper company's property and has
served as the backbone of that COM
pany for years. A force of men are
now employed on this property doing
development work. which consists Of a
cross cut tunnel tapping the Roman
