Hone to Find More Gold,

Last years returns of xold produc.
tion in Australia show that that
branch of the mining industry is flag
ging in almost every state of the
commonwealth. The island continent
holds the third place in the list of
the worlds producers, and is so far
ahead Of countries lower in the scale
that it is not likely to lose it's posi-
tion. But If only from the labor point
of view, the shrinkage is to be de.
plored. The main causes Of the declin.
ing output are said to be the greater
depth to which sinking has to be car
ried, and the lower grade of the ore
mined Then the rush after copper and
lead mines, when prices for those
metals were booming, attracted pros-
pectors. Hence no new gold discov-
cries of any importance have been
made for years. Now. however, pros-
pecting is again in progress. There IL
still vast extent of unexplored ter
ritory, and as Broken Hill and Kal-
goorlie were discovered in hard tines
by men being driven into out-of-the-
way corners Of the continent. It is
suggested that the present period of
depression may lead others to make
new finds. = - ~ { :. II II

The sad plight of an old couple
driven from the home they had given
to their daughter is pitiful testimony
to the heartlessness of children who
are humored, petted and pampered
into selfishness by indulgent parents
The daughter who turns her aged par.
ents into the street is like the hus.
band who borrows his wife's girlhood
savings and spends them on other
women. In each case the fault is in
fathers and mothers who permit their
children to grow up selfish. Parents
and wives who are tempted to sacri
flee the little substance which guar
antees their independence should be
ware. Love is blind, and there is dan
ger In intrusting common sense to 8

" LILLIAN ALDEN SMITH of

w LILLIAN ALDEN SMITH of
W Michigan appeared in the police
court the other day in Washington as
a police lawyer, defended a colored
man accused of disorderly conduct,
got him acquitted after an hours trial
and went away with his client before
the court or any of the attendants
learned that the unknown young law
yer was United States senator.
Then Judge Kimball, who had been
short and sharp in his treatment of the
strange lawyer, almost fell off the
bench.
The case which Senator Smith tried
was that of Robert A. Pelham, former.
ly active in Detroit politics, now a
clerk in the census office here, who
got into trouble. Senator Smith
thought he had arranged with District
Commissioner West to have the case
against Pelham nolle pressed, but some.
thing went wrong with the works and
Pelham had to stand trial.

NJ WASH1NGTON.- H. Hitch.
W cock, postmaster general, is the
sartorial masterpiece of this admins
tration. No statistics have been COM
piled on the number of clothes Mr..
Hitchcock owns. Lost in admiring
contemplation of their refined yet
fetching splendor, few have been able
to recall themselves to the mere
mathematical aspects of the splendid
procession of variegated vestments.
Mr.. Hitchcock is one of those men
who wear their clothes we'll. He is
particular that they be newly pressed
and carefully busted. He will stop in
the midst of the most serious confer.
ence to draw up the port compartment
of his trousers in avoidance of a
menacing bag at the knee, adjusting
1t in the exact position to obviate the
bag at the knee, and yet to prevent
any unseemly wrinkling at the thigh.
Thus elevated, the Hitchcock trouser
invariably displays a modest segment
of hosiery never known to depart from
the rule that correctly tailored
mans hose must match his necktie.
