ONCE IN AWHILE.

TT Is easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows by like a song,
But the man worth while Is one who will
smile
When everything goes wrong.
Fer the test of the heart is trouble.
And 1t always comes with the years,
And the smile that is worth the praises of
earth
Is the smile that shines through tears.
IT is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray.
When without or within no voice OF sin
Is Turing your soul away.
But it's only a negative virtue
Until IL Is tried by fire.
And the life hat Is worth the honor Of
earth
Is the one that resists desire.
PY the cynic. the sad. the fallen.
- Who had no strength for the strife.
The worlds highway Is numbered today
They make up the item OF life.
But the virtue that conquers passion
And the sorrow that hides in a smile,
It Is these that are worth the homage Of
earth.
For we find them but once in awhile.
ELLA Wheeler Wilcox.

I'll Thanksgiving Day. thereby insuring

things for the table. all who partook of

the old days, when reduction processes
were not on the plane which they occu.
py to-day. and the lower grade ore
could not be extracted at . profit, it is
the Windfsll mine which is making the
camp largely what it is.
THE Windfall is the first gold mine
that the camp has had. All the older
mines were lead silver producers, and it
was silver that gave the camp its birth.
Now, through the success of the Wind
fall as a producer Of gold, attention ia
being directed to the gold possibilities
Of the whole district aboutEureka. Last
week the Windfall shipped two bars of
gold bullion, the value Of which was
