How many American women in
lonely homes to-day long for this
blessing to come into their lives, and
to be able to utter these words, but
because of some organic derange-
ment this happiness is denied them.

subject should know that prepara-

SAM VOGEL GRANTED
A MEDAL FOR BRAVERY

Sam Vogel, who is employed in the
Turning and plumbing department OF
E. Reinhart & Co., has just received
from Golconda a large leather medal,
on which is engraved: "This medal
presented to Sam Vogel for great
bravery displayed on the night of
December Goth. 1907 Whether
this is a medal from the citizens of
Golconda, as it purports to be, or
whether it is a hoax. Sam is in doubt;
but, at any rate, Mr.. Vogel did give
a rare exhibition of hair-splitting
nerve and dare devil courage in Col
conda on the night above mentioned.
He had been sent up to Goleonda
by E. Reinhart & Co. to attend to
some plumbing that was being done
in the new Sayel building, and while
there slept in the f. Reinhart
& Co. store at that place. Sam was
alone in the store and his mind was
somewhat e~rratic. He was divided in
opinion whether to go to sleep or to
stay awake, and be sure of detecting
any attempt at burglarizing the store.
Well, along about twelve O'Clock,
he heard a rafting of coal back of the
oeOIc. buieidio Tying Z sCe ~
rear of the building was his quick
decision, and jumping from his bed
and grabbing his gun he ran to the
front of the store and began firing to-
wards the rear. His aim was quite
good and he punctured the back
door in several places and shattered
glass and wood work in the store.
Several people heard the shooting
and began to investigate. They
found Sam in the front of the store in
his nighties, still holding the big gun
ready to fire, and his hair stood
straight up. He explained the situa-
ton, and an investigation showed
that the cause of Sans alarm was
the wind blowing pieces of coal down
alongside of the building.
But Vogel maintains that it was
a genuine attempt at burglary, and
intimates that he has seen all of Col
conda that he cares to.

HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING
JACKSON COPPER PROPERTIES

II. j. Gilbert and j. C. Christensen,
the latter a brother Of Edward Chris
tiersen. who bonded several copper
claims on Jackson mountain from Tom
Scott, arrived last evening from that
section of the country, and departed
this morning for their homes in the
Black Rock country in South Dakota.
They have been engaged the past two
months in developing and doing as
sessment work on these claims, about
on one of the claims on which there
was good surface showing they ex-
tended a tunnel about forty feet and
got some encouraging values. They
brought in samples Of ore, and these,
taken from an eight foot ledge, show
a fine display Of copper.

r. ONLY THE DEPARTED
HUSBANDS COULD BE TOLD

If only some men who have met
tragic deaths could have known in
life how sorely do their wives miss
them and the inestimable value
placed upon them, they would have
been filled with joy. And if both men
and women who live queerly, frac-
like regularity, but knew that some
time they were going to place a
valuation mon their character, how
much more carefully would they guard
them.
The prompting of that paragraph
is the reading of the fling Of a dam
age suit against a big corporation for
the sum of $50. 900. That is the
trifling amount asked by the widow
in her weeds. Her husband was
killed while in the performance of
his duty. At least, Wen take that for
granted. And now the only balm that
will heal the shattered heart OF the
widow he left behind is the small
amount mentioned.
While on earth the poor chap pro-
badly never knew that his wife so
highly etimated his worth When
locked the door at night when he
happened to be a little late down town
with the boys, he had no key to the
esteem in which he was held.
If someone had told that his wife
thought he was worth fifty cents at
times. he would probably have looked
at his informant obviously. And now
that he is dead and under the sod
and cannot know, his wife announces
that all the world might know that
to her he was worth $4,000.
And we nave known other women
who lived gaily, drinking at every
cup that seemed likely to have the
slightest likeness to pleasure, hesitat-
ing at nothing, breaking through the
social laws, if they were made of
moonshine instead of barbed wire;
and finally came the day when some
high minded attorney told them they
could sue that person or some corpo-
ration and place their reputation IN
the balance against the sun of money
demanded. And hen has followed the
cruel. but just, process of turning on
the light.
But we are more interested in the
case of the men who die without ever
knowing that their wives dearly loved
them. If there was only some way
of transmitting to the other side of
the sod the glorious news it would not
so bad. Imagine the acclaim tina
would be in heaven-and the winter
resort. too-when the glad news ar
rived that Mrs. Jones, who never in
life gave any sign that she loved John
at all, had assessed him at a million
dollars, more or less, in hard coin of
the realm, clearing house certificates
barred.
Then would the grave not end all,
for many a man would gain enlight-
eminent after he had passed away.
We wish the lady much joy in her
quest for the $4,000, but we wish
more ardenly that the highly valued
husband might know.-Reno Gazette.

this season would see It outside the
pale Of new modes. The lingerie
blouse. however, seems to be giving
way to quite as dainty models in
soft silks, which, If not warmer, at
least look more substantial than tho
sheer effects In linen, batiste and
lawn.
Here Is a ready made blouse that
answers all purposes Of dressy wear.
1t is made of figured China silk, Of
heavy quality, with trimmings Of
lace and narrow soutache braid
stitched upon the front of the waist
In decorative design. then outlined
with Quarter-inch folds of soutache.
The trimming extends along the line
of the shoulder seams which are lost
In a one-piece yoke and collar Of
sheer batiste stitched with silk braid.
The japanese effect appears in the
sleeves which are outlined with lace
and braid, with stitched or net be-
tween. These fall over under sleeves
of the waist material, while the gir-
die reproduces the effect OF the Jap
anese sleeve.
Finer than China silk for dressy
blouses is chiffon cloth which comes
in a variety of figured designs as we'll
as In plann colors. 1t is rich look
ing and requires but little trimming,
If one wishes to economize, but with
empiecements of braid, embroidery
or lace, chiffon cloth is fashioned into
a number of delicious blouses for
theatre and dinner wear.

READ FROM THE EYEa
They Are beloved to Disclose tho
Character of the Owner.

Every feature of the human face
Is believed by some person or another
to disclose the character of II. own
er. Perhaps the eyes are as trust
worthy guide In this respect as
there IL.
No two pair of eyes are exactly
alike. and 1t would be impossible to
give any fixed set of rules for thus
reading character. A person must
rely upon his own judgment for that.
Below, however, are given few gen
eral hints on the subject.
Large, clear, blue eyes, usually de-
note senibility OF character, and a
capacity and willingness for work.
Their owner is also likely to be fond
OF enjoyment, Jealous, and ofton in.
quisitive.
Round-eyed persons are not great
thinkers. They are open-hearted.
observant, AMI often inclined too
much to luxury.
People with narrow eyes. see less
think more, and feel with greater in
tensity.
Brown eyes denote loving though
judicious temperament.
Women with light brown eyes are
fonc Of gafety, shrewd, and often Of
a coquettish disposition.
Owners Of deep-set eyes receive
Impressions accurately and doa-
nitely.
Great thinkers usually have had
cold grey eyes. for grey Is the color
of shrewdnes and talent. Eyes Of
this description generally denote bet
ter heads than hearts.
Green eyes occur more frequently
In women than in men. They de-
note courage, energy and pride. Oc-
casionally they accompany a jealous,
veengeful disposition.
Black eyes are difficult to read.
They often show quick disposition,
and sometimes are treacherous.

Water is wet liquid, the first ap-
pearance of which on earth is pre-
historic. At first there was only
little water in the world, but since
the Flood came by order of God,
there has been more water than land
and from that time the water, never
flowing away, remains IN marshes,
lakes, and seas. Water collects only
In low-lying places but it cannot rest
In high places because 1t Is liquid.
If you pour 1t on the top of hill
1t will soon flow to the bottom; for
that reason the bases Of hills are al
ways surrounded by seas, lakes. and
marshes. If you pour 1t on an or
ange 1t will also run Off, although the
earth is round as an orange. All
the rivers also flow Gownwards be-
cause they begin on the tops of hills,
and because water is liquid. Even II
you pour 1t on the floor, 1t will flow
to the lower parts, not to the higher.
1t can easily be distinguished from
butter because II never gets solid.
Fast-butter (oil) Is more like water.
In marshes water Is dirty, In seas
drunk; people drink river-water, and
even that only where there are no
water-works. 1t Is dangerous to
drink water, as you may catch cold;
better drink tea or coffee. Water
also serves as medium of communi-
cation, and those countries which
have much water have great COM
merce; such In ancient times were
Phoenicia and Greece, and In modern
times, England Fishes like to live
in water. Water Is very convenient
for transporting merchandise on spe-
cial ships which are called fleets; but
you cannot walk on 1t as it is a
liquid and slips from under your feet
30 that you drown. In Nature water
appears when II Is summer In the
form of rain which makes a great
deal of mud. When rain falls, II
first falls on the roofs Of houses, and
thence flows In rivulets on to the
ground. When It Is raining grown
up people go out In galoshes and
umbrellas. whilo children sit At homl
and find 1t very tedious. In winter
rain freezes and falls on the earth In
the form Of snow. which makes Il
very cold. In human life, water has
several uses; 1t is used for making
tea and soup and for washing; and

The reason I offered to write her
composition 50 unhesitatingly was
that that kind of work was familiar
to me. On one occasion teacher of
literature awarded me two marks for
a composition written for fifth class
schoolgirl on the subject OF THE
Positive Traits In the Characters of
Skalozub and Moltchalin." On an
other occasion I received one mark
for composition written for a sixth
class boy, on the theme, THE Ad-
vantages and Disadvantages Of Re-
spect for Parents" or something of
that kind.
But though knew the task had
undertaken, / thought for a moment
before beginning. | desired that my
little girl should gain full marks.
How must | write it so that she
should receive the whole five?
After a moments thought l de-
cided. Before writing a word,
must convince myself that l was not
giant six feet high, but little
rosy-cheeked schoolgirl twelve years
old.
1t seemed beyond doubt that
when the teacher names the theme
he takes into account the child 3
knowlege of the subject, its pys-
chology, its style, and finally, it's
idealistic view of and relation to
the subject. That was beyond
doubt. The conclusion was that l,
as far as / possibly could, should
initiate a child. Admirable!
And we conversed together on
TIE subject of the elasticity of
friendships bonds; how 1t happens
that you walk away from friends

spoke Of wine and of people who
