So you wish to know what books I read, do you, William? Well, the books that are presented to me, the books that are recommended to me, the books that most people have no interest in, and the books that are furiously con- demned; and I always expect to get something beneficial from them if there is anything good in them. As have cultivated disposition not to quarrel with persons I find it easy to get along without quarre1ing with books. If I do not agree with their conclusions I do not throw them down unfinished or snarl about the author. honest, and I find sometimes that the writer was in an illuminated path un- known to the reader. Books are quiet companions and those which please me most read most.

Sam Slick is out of the minds of the people, and is found now referred to in an occasional book; but the truths he used to set before our ar1- cestors are just as good today when set before us. Listen to these prov erbs from Sam: When the fox turns preacher, the geese had better not go to night meetings" 'Hypocrisy has enlisted more people for Old Scratch than any recruiting sergeant he has" ",The mind is like a slate-one thing gets rubbed out for another" There is no security where there is a com mittee of safety NO man or woman can be a general favorite and be true" skunksi" We are not as familiar with the vernacular as our fathers were think we have something better, per- haps; but it does not on it's face ap- pear to be any more effective.
 The moving picture houses have not yet realized the fact that pictures that please the children are sure to please the old folks. l was one of an audi ence of eight hundred persons recent ly, and of these six hundred were chill dren under thirteen, and they were entertained with a series of tragedies from life growing out of crime, and to pass upon them honestly were not of a character or variety to please any kind of an audience. There were no pets or children or f1owers--it was just one distress after another There were more heartaches than laughs in them there were killings, but no heroic res- cues. They seemed like a. hit or miss lot, and they did not send an audience away wishing for more. I wonder who selects such pictures for juveniles?
 Where along the sands of time do you think man looked himself over and first thought that he was good? We know that according to the theologians he was a. good thing at the start. but soon was in the way of making a bad finish. Then, according to the scien- lists, when he got to be about as bad as he could be, he took a turn for the better and then came the contrast and the good class. and the tive classes have forged ahead these many cen turies. keeping the contrast pretty well balanced. Tn other words, when man got to coming, conscience was born.. Just how good man has be- come can only be judged by his works, and these do not give any sign that he is. approaching the angelic state. He still needs a conservator to make square deal. although he can talk about it elibly enough.

The man who numbers through the snow with a. coal scoop looking for
 job to shovel your walk and holds you up when you are cleaning your own walk by saying: "You wouldn't take job away from poor man, when you don't need it-yot1 know you wouldn't,
 boss!" seems to have tact: and as he takes your snow shovel tells you he does work for the upper ten who thank him and pay him more than he asks
 because he does the work so well, you notice that he handles his tongue ex- pertly and feel reconciled to being brushed off your own walk like a fly off the dinner table. And when he has
 made your crooked lines straight and all walks satisfactory, and ventures as
 he takes his pay to say you do not need your outfit, can't you loan 'em to me for a little, and see him walking off with your money in his pocket and
 your nittens on his hands, and your snow shovel and broom over his shoulder, you cannot help admiring his persuasive manner if you do not like
 his style in other respects. You do
 not fail to recognize that you have er1- ployed an artist unawares.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

At sixty some people make resolu- tions to get more pleasure out of life. They should have made such resolu- tions forty years sooner, then they might have acquired the habit of get ting honey while they worked. There is pleasure in work, as well as in recreation. If life has been made do not think 1t can be magically turned into dream for the rest of your days. The pleasure of living is not in the future but in the now; and if you have not learned how to get 1t from day to day do not. think that you can get 1t from year to year. Put into life hon. esty and honor-take out of life the pleasure and peace
 There are lots of folks who do not seem to realize that cheap help Is usu- ally the dearest in the long run The statement that there's nothing so cheap as cheap man" has never been seriously disputed, and the saying is just as true of a cheap woman. Such people do not put conscience into their work, but concentrate their attention upon what they are going to get out of it. In effect their work could not be more ur1coinmendab1e if they picked your pockets. Those who watch the clock wash, up on their employers s time come to work a minute or two late, and never hustle in anything ex- cept their application for the pay en- velope, make themselves as cheap as "wet goods at advanced prices" These workers are not so scarce that they are seldom met. We all have our experi- ences with them but we cannot help pitying people who thus stand in their own light.

York State who engaged in fruit rais-
ing. Four years ago he devoted nine
acres to Baldwin apple trees. which
last year produced 900 barrels Of APP
pies. The expense Of spraying, etc.,
was 1894, the income was $4,000 and
the net income was $1,766, or $196 an
acre. His land was valued at 5000 an
acre, and so he got 100 per cent on his
investment.

INTERESTING MINING NEWS.

Greenwood, B. C.-The G. P. R. spur
into Wellington camp will be completed

About 20 inches of ore, showing iron,
copper and galena have been struck in
the Argo tunnel.
Another big lead-silver strike was
made recently in the Monarch mine,
east of Murray, Idaho.
The big tunnel of the Greenwood
Phoenix Tramway company is in 700
feet. The rock is very hard, and two
machines on one bar can drive only five
feet shift.
A wire has been received in Nelson,

Ainsworth, belonging to the Highland
United mines, limited, are to resume
work Immediately.
Lewistown, Mont.-The new Cumber-
land mill at Maiden has started on its
trial run. The event has been awaited
with great interest, and the general be-
lief is that it presages great revival
in the mining industry.
The force of men employed at the
rejuvenated mining camp of Sylvanite
near Libby, Mont, is being increased
steadily, according to reports, and good
progress is being made in getting the
mines ready to run. G. R. Westgate OF

Clever schemers Circumventing the
Immigration Laws.
The Belgian authorities have been
advised of systematic frauds which are
being practiced against the American
immigration laws at Antwerp, Rotter-
dam, Marseilles and other ports. II is
alleged that certain Armenians and
other undesirables who have been de-
ported from Ellis Island have re-
shipped as sailors and firemen, by
bribery Of the ships officers, arriving
at American ports as seamen. They
then desert the ships, and thus evade
the immigration authorities These
frauds, 1t is stated, are being conduct
cd by band whose headquarters Is at
Constantinople, with ramifications to-
all Of the great European ports. They
speculate in labor, paying high prices
to secure the entrance into the United
States of aliens, whose wages they coli
lect, pocketing the difference between
the actual wages paid and their con-
tract with the aliens Washington au-
thorities state that although they have
been aware of the fact that aliens In
the guise Of sailors are coming into
the United States fraudulently, the Inn
migration officials are unable to pre-
vent such practice. Petty oficers OF
transatlantic vessels permit the enlist
ment Of foreigners, and when they
reach American shores they are given
shore leave. Desertion follows and the
aliens remain. The subject viii soon
be brought to the attention Of Con-
gress with a view TO remedial IegislaS

CHILLY" DoDD. A GOOD SPORT
Always Has a Team in Bowling and

II would be hard matter to deter
mine whether "Billy" Dodd of Spokane
is best known, in the city of his resi-
dence and throughout the Inland EN-
pire, as "Billy" Dodd, president of
the Dodd Clothing company, or as
"BiIly" Dodd, friend and patron of
all clean, legitimate sports. For in
stance, it is pretty generally known
through the clothing trade of the north
west that he is a pioneer in the bust
ness, and was, long before he moved
his big gents furnishing store from
the northeast corner Of Riverside ave-
nue. and Post street to the southwest
intersection of those two busy thorough
fares of Spokane. He is agent for the
famous Gordon" hat.
In Spokane he has been known for
the last twenty years as booster for
the metropolis of the Inland Empire,
a member of all the commercial organ
izatiOns and man of high civic as well
as business ideals. The same policy
that keeps his attention constantly de-
voted, apparently, to his business, has
kept him in touch with every move
ment for municipal reform or for the
exploitation of the gigantic resources
and industries of the Inland Empire.
But there is another side to "Billy''

excel him in business ability or in
