In the history Of the world It has
always seemed that the true children
Of God have been marked out for sor-
row. and at all times the question has
been asked, as it is asked today, Why
is this so? The answer is found In
this-that God desires to try US. We
suffer the many sorrows and tribula-
tons Of the world in order that we may
prove that we are possessed Of faith
which is trre and firm. Sorrow and
trials are but a pledge Of eternal life.
Let US 90 on serving God, loving and
thanking him. and remembering that
II we meet with suffering IT is the best
way 70 gain everlasting life. Let us
show the same love that Mary and
Joseph did. the two most dear TO
Christ, yet TO whom sorrow and hard
ship came, only TO find them ever pa
tent and obedient.-Rev. David W.

plain MT. Home, an English scientist. Miss de Bassompierre had lived with Mrs. Breton for time when she was llrtle Polly Home. and Lucy snowe had been her friend and companion.
 That meeting seemed to Lucy Snowe to have been arranged by fate itself, and her foreboding was not wrong. Within a very few weeks Dr. Johns letters and visits began to grow less, and soon both he and Pauline confded in her that they loved each other
 She forced herself to listen to them. She forced herself even further, for she pleaded Bretton's cause with De Bassom- pierre, who was unwilling to give his daughter to any one just then. He listened to Lucy, though he had refused to listen to all others, and finally gave his consent.
 That achieved, she withdrew again itno her dim, colorless existence-or rather would have done so had she not been dragged out of it by the violent furious, energetic efforts of a man whom she al ways had dsliked and feared. This was M. Paul Emanuel. the professor of liter ature, little dark man, pungent and aus tere, full of sudden rages but full, too, of a poetic fire and flame of knowledge and wisdom that suddenly would trans
 figure the close-short black head the broad sallow brow and the wide and quivering nostril.
 From the beginning of Lucys engage ment in the pension he had taken especial delight in reproving even bullying her. for the eccentric, impassioned little crea- ture, who domineered even over Mme Beck, was not above bullying and cruelty when his swift angers descended upon him.
 He was Napoleon Bonaparte of the learned world. He would have quarreled with 20 women where his prototype quar- reled with one. He would have exiled 50 Mime. de Staels
 Now Lucy Snowe discovered that this little tyrant was on the most intimate terms with her desk. His visits were secret, but he left signs behind that showed that he had not been on missions of espial. Miss Snowe found her pupils exercises corrected for her Between a sallow dictionary and wornout grammar there would grow magically fresh novel or mellow classic, sweet with ripe old age.
 One morning there had been an excep- tionally bitter battle, provoked by her, be- tween them in the classroom. Professor Paul finally had overwhelmed her with a malicious, spiteful acrid tirade about ] English women-their pretentious man. l ners, their pedantic education and their | impious skepticism. She thought him de- testably ugly at that moment, and nut | tered to herself that he was venemous, | wicked little man.
 | Shortly afterward she found him /, busy again in her desk. She stopped | quietly behind him and saw that he :, was putting two handsome volumes in- I to it. When she saw him thus, all
 willing to forget and forgive her af- i front which had caused the morning s | outbreak, her hear smothe her. She did | not dislike Professor Emanuel. | It was the beginning of strange friendship-a friendship of hot con- flicts, unceasing attack and defense without soft word. Yet everywhere
 secret services were done for her.
 About this time she took pr. Bret

 and bade her be cheerful and refrain
 from too much introspection. 'I am
 afraid you feel very solitary there," said
 he. Mother shall come to you and
 I will write to you often-just cheerful
 things you know, any nonsense that
 comes into my head"
 When that first letter came Miss Snowe
 glosted over it like a miser. She would
 not open it just then, but pressed it
 secretly to her bosom and stole glances at
 the address and the seal. She said to
 herself that she knew what was in it.

 the day turned to song for her.
 It was not till dark that she found an
 opportunity to read it. Even then she
 had to seek the garret, for every other
 part of the house was pervaded by girls
 and teachers. She set a candle on a worm-eaten chest in the dark, cobwebbed , place and broke the sea. There, in the frosty garret, by the light of the fiutter- ing candle, the poor English teahcer read
 and re-read letter that was simply good Misunderstanding more.
 Suddenly most surely and certainly, she
 heard a stealthy foot on the floor. She
 had a sense that something was gliding
 toward her from the gloom. She turned.

 head bandaged, yelled, white. It was the

 was something in the garrett It was only after madam and few others had de- parted to search the place that she felt conscious of warm hands holding her cold ones, and saw Dr. John looking at her. | Then she became conscious, too, that she had talked wildly of her letter; for he was promising to write her 20 more if l it, would please her.

The Almaden people are driving

lodes intersect the vein upon which
they have drifted for over 1900 feet.
Extensive surface development has
proven these cross lodes to be valuable

silver values will gradually decrease
and gold predominate, a most desira-

Allen Claims Sold.

At the sheriff's sale held at the court
house at Georgetown last Monday, the
Allen group of claims in the Cascade
district were sold by Sheriff Cunning
ham to Max Ploeger, of Dallas, Texas,
and his associates, the sale being made
to satisfy judgment for approximate
iy $8,O0O.0O rendered the first year.
The group transferred represents
seventeen lode claims, some of which
are patented, and upon each of which
there has been considerable work per-
formed and ore extracted.
Mr.. Ploeger, accompanied by DR.. T.
M. Whitcamp, of Cincinnati, Ohio, who
is also interested in the property, in
company with DR.. J. M. Shaller, of the

Wednesday night, in the fastest game
played on the local field this season the
High School basket ball team was de.
feated by a single point. Their oppo-
nents the sturdy Denver University quin-
tet had expected hard game, as the
reputation of the Idaho team has gone
abroad, but it had never occurred to
them that they would be held to 32-31
score. The game was marked by hard,
fast, clean play on both sides but the
High School players were the most ag-
gressive and had their opponents fire.
quently calling for time. The result
was never a certainty. The varsity
players began with snappy style of
play which soon netted them four points
but the High School boys came back
fighting hard and in less than eight
minutes the score stood tied. From then
on it was never anything but close
game, with the High School usually
in the lead. The first half ended with
the score 14-l3 in D. US. favor.
The Ministers started in with plunge
in the second half and soon forged
ahead but the locals with that same
aggressive spirit always displayed,
were after them hard, and having the
advantage in being longer winded, they
soon regained the lead. When the final
time was called it was thought that
Idaho had won but the score books gave
D. U. the victory.
The game was unusually free from
star playing and feature work, both
teams working in body, the locals ex-
ceiling in team work.
The attendance at the game though
not over-large was an enthusiastic one,
breaking out in frequent applause for
good plays.
The High School team although no
longer holding the inter-scholastic hon
ors is to all appearances the most like
ly contestant. The local team leaves
for Wheatridge today where they play
the erstwhile champions.

Con. consolidated Co.

One of the large companies that will
make most creditable showing in the
mining line is the General Consolidat-
ed Mines Company that is officered
by men who now live in Nebraska or
who have been residents of that state.
The company was organized last month
and already there has been aphenome-
nal sale of stock and at par. Two of
the officers, DIR. j. Enos Wait of Su-
perior, Nebraska, president, and W. S.
Mari, of the Franklin County Bank of
Nebraska, were here for a couple of
days this week examining the holdings
of the company, comprising forty-two
claims located in the centers of several
mining sections. A meeting of the
entire Board of Directors was held in
the city Wednesday and the entire
conditions were thoroughly gone over
and plans for active future develop
ment were carefully outlined. Charles
l.. Jaynes is the superintendent and
G. C. Weber, the General Agent OF the
company. DR.. Wait is man who brings
very much prestige to the company and
is one who examines in detail everything
that will be of interest to the company,
the officers and the stockholders. The
latter may feel assured that their in
terests will be safely guarded by him
and that every dollar will be econom-
ically and judiciously expended. He is
onI dopc thorn
right. Possessing quick perception,
keen discrimination and practical ap-
plication, under the efficient manage
ment that he will give, success IS
assured. In this he will have the most
hearty cooperation of all the Board,
for they are all workers of pushing
character.

Minina on Fall River

The mines ef the middle Fall River
district are looking unusually attrac-
tive. Leasers have opened into a
streak of high grade in the Last
Chance. there being about foot of
the ore, but because of some misunder-
standing with the owners, operations
are temporarily suspended.
The Golconda lode continues to show
unusual gold values and these people
are about to market their second ship
ment from this vein. Beside the high
grade they have about three feet Of
ore which they are treating. This mill
ore is almost good enough to ship
direct to the smelters and naturally
makes a splendid concentrating propo-
sition.
The Standard people are ventilating
their tunnel preparatory to driving
ahead to cut the Mahany lode some
distance from the present breast
