THE PAST YEAR.

II would be useless TO ignore the
fact that the panic has very materi.
ally affected the mining industry vi
the Lemhi River country. Outside
OF this one resource the business in
terests have been but slightly affect
ed, not by any means as much as
seems to be the case In other parts Of
the country.
With some exceptions the mining
industry Is dependent upon eastern
capital for development work. In
most OF the mines the output and
reduction OF the ores has not kept
pace with the necessary development
work OF the mine. IL has been the
policy Of the management of the best
properties to pay more attention to
opening up new bodies of ore than 1t
has been to work out the bodies In
sight. For this reason the develop
ment work has been dependent upon

of newspaper talk is the reported

An Intelligent Turtle.

Ray Hadley and Thad Williams
think they have the most intelligent
turtle in the world The say that
though 1t can not talk, 1t can think.
The turtle was caught in a pond
near here and as each boy claimed
a share in it, they decided one should
keep the turtle two days and then
1t should be turned over to the 9TH
er for two days. Yesterday the boys
forgot to transfer the turtle, and this
morning when young Williams went
to the turtles tub he found 1t gone.
Search was instituted without sue
cess until this afternoon, when the
turtle was found endeavoring to
climb into the other tub, its home,
In the backyard of the Hadley home.
Evidently the turtle remembered the
date, and had crawled the entire
distance between the homes, which
is more than a block, making the
trip by.the alleys, the route always
adopted by the boys. 1t seemed
pleased, but almost exhausted, when
found.-Indianapolis News.

INTERNATIONAL LESSON COM
MENTS FOR SEPTEMBER 20.

Review Of the Eleven Preceding Les
sons For the Third Quarter
Golden Text, Q Samuel 5.12-
Read Psalm rs.
Golden Text: And David per-
ceived that the Lord had establish ed
him king over Israel, and that he had
exalted his kingdom for his people
Israel's sake" 2 Sam. 5:12.
Each of the lessons of this quarter
teaches us something about the prin-
ciples upon which God deals with men
and something also about how men
treat God
In Lesson I. we see the constant
disposition of the human heart to re-
ject God and to refuse to have Him
rule over us. We see also when men
choose some one else before God, He
let's them have their own mad choice
in order that they may learn their
folly by bitter experience.
In Lesson ii. we see again the dis
position of the human heart to reject
God, even after He had saved us out
of all our calamities ana listresses.
In Lesson III. we sec Gods long
suffering toward those who reject
Him and His love In brins ing His un-
grateful people to a consciousness of
their sin and His unwillngness to for
sake His people.
In Lesson ". we see that the one
thing that God demands from His
servants is obedience, and how IL one
rejects, the Word of the Lord, the
Lord will also reject him
In Lesson V. we see that when one
servant fails God He chooses another
to fill his place and anoints him with
the Holy Spirit that he may be quail
fed for the work to which he has
been called
In Lesson VI. we see how the Lord
gives victory to those who trust in
Him and He saves, not with the sword
and spear, but by the power of His
own name.
In Lesson VII. we see that the Lord
is with the one that trusts and obeys
and gives him favor with men and
makes him the terror of His enemies.
In Lesson VIII. we learn how God
delivers His servants even in times of
greatest peril.
In Lesson TX. we see that God de-
livers our enemies into our hands, but
that vengeance belong unto Him.
In Lesson X. we see the awful fate
of the one whom God had rejected
and how God clears the way for the
one who leaves his exaltation entirely
in Gods hands.
In Lesson XI. we see that God will
guide the one who commits his way
unto Him and leans not upon his own
understanding. and that God deals
with us as we deal with our fellow
men.

"By This Shall All Men Know -

How are you going to tell whether
you are a Christian or not? Not by
the fact that you are a Catholic or a
Protestant. not that you subscribe to
some creed that man has drawn up.
We must have something better than
that.
What did Christ say? "By this
shall all men know that ye are My
disciples, if ye have love one to an
other" I used to wish when | was
first converted that every Christian
had to wear badge, because would
like to know them; my heart went
out toward the household of faith.
But l have got over that. Every hy-
pocrlte would have badge~inside Of
thirty days should Christianity be-
come popular. No badge outside, but
God gives US badge in the heart.
The religion that hasn't any love
in it / don't want; it's human. The
man whose creed hasn't any love in
1t may let 1t go to the winds. by
this shall all men know that We are
My disciples. If ye have love one to
another" That is the fruit of the
Spirit.-D. L. Moody.

Widening the Problem

The increase in the number and
quantity of drugs which may be used
70 prevent pain, quiet the nerves, and
produce effects similar to those
gained by the use of alcohol widens
the temperance problem. Nothing is
gained and something may be lost
beyond recall when a family drops
the use of beer and begins to take
doses of cocaine. From all quarters
come reports of the increased use of
this pernicious drug which, with
morphine and other narcotics, NAV

evident and grosser form of intoxi-
cation. Men and women throughout
the South are said to be secretly in
