WHEN BIG THINGS ARE COMMONPLACE

Great events are common today.
They arrive and settle themselves in
history without noise and with only
passing notice. We accept big thing
nowadays as part of the days work.
Big things have become commonplace
In an age that juggles with hemi-
spheres, changes the physical relations
of continents before breakfast and
whose workmen sweep up the litter in
ctdeat to the making of a new city at
quitting time in order that it may be
ready for business opening the next
morning at eight A big thing is SIM
ply the incident of a day.
The other day the last spike was
driven which completed another trans
continental railway. There were no
ceremonies. A gang of railroad labor
ers swung the rails into position, the
spikers drove home the spikes, the fish
plates were Doi.ea tight and the men
scattered from the advance of an eager
engine dragging time freight from New
York to the west coast There were
no gold and silver spikes, no fireworks,
no speeches, no gathering of notables.
! There wasn't time. The way bills took
I. precedence of speeches and the only
! orator heard on the occasion was the
track boss. Come away with that
| rail-" says he. "Step lively now before
4 take a poke at youse wild a pinch
bar. Now get out of the way Of the
engine. IT'S all right sor, they can
come ahead" The ceremony was over.
Perhaps a few old men who had wit
messed the imposing ceremonies with
which the last length of the Union
Pacific was laid were disappointed, but
the men who pay the freight bills and
who were waiting for the train were
not They broke open the boxes, mark
ed up the stuff and had it on sale be-
fore the band would have done play

This age is old business. Given a
big thing to be done and We say do

other big thing that lacks doing. We
express and feel little surprise when
it is done, look over the job and say
"Get out of the way of the engine

Hurry up" And the boss lifts his
raucous voice, the gang moves on ant

our daily activities as naturally as tho

A Colony Of mGood samarit,ns.

In speaking of the work that is be-
ing done at the McAuley Mission, Ray
Stannard Baker in the July American
Magazine makes the following conclu-
sion:
'The point wish to make most en-
phatically is that here in this mission
of the slums, among the lowest of the
low, is demonstrated again and again
the power of a living religion to re-
construct the individual human life.
And 1t apparently makes not the
slightest difference whether the mon is
an unlettered christian or a university
graduate, the power of reconstruction
is the same. Once grasped, such re-
ligious faith changes the whole world
for the man who grasps it. 1t cures, as
1T did in apostolic times. both bodies
and souls, and it produces, moreover, a
singularly simple and brotherly rela-
tionship among those who are reached,
a desire to serve one another 1t is no
affectation which causes these men to
refer to one another as brother! They
are brothers"

Littl. Tot El.tt.red Teddy.

It was at a White House reception
that a Philadelphia picked up a choice
gem which he never tires Of telling.
A charming girl OF Is, the daughter
of a western publisher and quite So
ciety queen in her own city, had been
brought to Washington by her father,
and at one Of the White House recep-
tons was presented to President Roose-
welt.
AS her small hand, disappeared with
in the hearty grasp of the president,
the maiden looked up at him, and smil-
ing sweetly, said:
I'm awfully glad to meet you, Mr..
Roosevelt; I've often heard father
speak of you."-Philadelph Times.

CARNIVAL OR FAIR?

Cedar Rapids gives up her carnival
The carnival had outlived its useful
ness. The day is past when any old
kind of vuglar show will draw q
crowd. The people generally are be-
coming educated up to a higher stand
ard. so that there is constantly dimin-
ishing percentage who can be appealed
to with a show of the carnival stripe.
Just to give Cedar Rapids something
to think about we would suggest first
class fair. Something on the order of
the state fair, except it would naturally
have to be smaller A comparatively
few people can afford to go to the state
fair, as trip to Des Moines from this
distance takes both time and money.
But the big attendance at the state
fair shows the people to be Interested.
and we believe that four fairs in the
different sections. Of the state, could be
managed profitably.

Developments in the Little Daisy mine owned by the United Verde Ex- tension Mining Company and located immediately east of the United Verde mines are very encouraging lately. A large body of low grade ore has been opened by the crosscut which is still being pushed from the 800 foot level in the direction of the hanging wall. In this large body of low grade ore are several lenses of higher grade ranging in thickness from three to seven feet.-Prescott Courier.

The Santa Fe railroad company is making a preliminary survey for a new sewer from the water tanks to a point below the dam in Railroad Can. yon. This new sewer system will carry away all the waste water and compounds used in the treatment tanks, besides sewage from the depot, Harvey House and other houses of the company. It will be large enough to meet all demands for years to come.
