From many parts in the east
we hear reports of lower prices
for foodstuffs and accessions to
the ranks ofanti-meatc rusaders.
AS showing the effect the boycott
has had SO far in the east, reduc-
tions have been made OF from 3
to 5 per cent in the wholesale
prices OF eggs, butter, potatoes,
pork products and beef.

The postmaster general has
made a ruling to the effect that
rural carriers after February l
shall not collect loose coins plac-
ed in mail boxes for postage.
Patrons will be required to place
such coins in an envelope or wrap
them securely in paper. The
reason given for this change in
the regulations is that loose
coins are easily lost and that
carriers lose time in collecting
them when they are placed loose
in the boxes.

Luck and laziness do not go
together. The man who climbs
up must prove himself and grasp
his opportunities. Opportunity
will not look him up.
The man with the big oppor-
tunity today is the man in the
ranks.
My rule for success is untiring
application; loyalty to ones en-
ployer, which is loyalty to ones
self; doing the best you can in
every task that faces you; prac-
ticability initiative and industry.
The best advice to give a young
man is very old and simple. Get
knowledge and understanding.
Determine to make the best OF
yourself by doing in the best OF
your power such useful work as
comes your way. There are no
new recipes for success in life.
The man who climbs up is the
one who is not content with do
ing only just what is absolutely
necessary, but who does more.
Success never comes to the man
who spends most of his time
watching the clock.-J. J. Hill.

COUNTING UP THE REMAINS

With Carrie Nation safely out
of Butte, and the commotion
subsiding, it may be well to in
spect the remains and ascertain
what, if anything, there is left.
In the course of her several de-
mandatory addresses and talks
while in Butte, Mrs. Nation plac-
ed under the ban the following:
All saloon keepers; people who
drink; owners of real estate used
for saloons or dives; all users Of
tobacco; all hypocrites; women
who sell liquor or tobacco; gam
blers; women who wear Merry
Widow hats; women who wear
dead birds on their hats; wearers
OF corsets; women who adorn
their persons; frequenters Of
dances; President Taft; former
President Roosevelt; the Unitari-
ans, the Christian Scientists; the
Masonic fraternity; women who
wear anything but plain dress
and modest attire; church men,
bers who vote party tickets; the
Republican party; the Demo-
cratic party; the Socialist party;
the anti-saloon league; the Pro
hibition party.
1t is evident that there are on
ly a very few OF the best in Butte

that never was so much work
going on; that never was labor
so well rewarded; that never was
there so much money. We sns-
pect that is true. On the other
hand, never was speculation so
fierce, never did it cost the poor
man so much to live. And the
cost OF living is breeding a dis
content and an impatience that
is dangerous to peace and to So
ciety. Congress does not seem
to be doing much, and still we
know that there is hardly man
in either branch that does not
want the best done for the coun-
try that can be done. But the
lower house is torn with dissen-
sions, and most of them are pet
ty things, and should be settled
in a day, for they arein the main
personal; no great principle is in
volved, there is mixed with them
a vast deal ofmere personal spite
and anger which should be done
away with. Meanwhile some ser
ious questions ought to be under
consideration. What about our
lost export trade, and how can
it be recovered2 What about
menace, which is growing daily,
to our workingmen in the unfold
ing in the orient? What about
our merchant marine; is it never
to be restored? Is anything be
ing done toward giving US a
financial system which will meet
the needs of the country and pro-
vide the means to make a panic
and crash impossible? And a
million of starving and undisci-
plined, and in many cases ignor-
ant and vicious, immigrants are
being unloaded annually upon
onr shores. How long can our
country assimilate that host?
These are some of the questions,
and where is the man who has
the brain and the heart to point
the way which will lead up into
contentment and assure contin-
ued peace2-Goodwin's Weekly.

The old woman at the fireside
could keep silent no longer.
"Of course you may. Mary, don't
be so silly she said. Then, her
withered cheeks suddenly flushing,
she sat still overpowered by the
enormity of her offense.
The girl only laughed.
VERY well, then" she sailt "You

1t was not a gracious consent But
few people can be gracious when
acquiescence is forced upon them.
Ferman Elwood accepted her deci-
sion without apparently noticing
its unwililngness.
Thank you," he said; his tone
made the girl regret her hesitation.
In few minutes they were on
their way to the theatre.
For some time they sat back in
the cab in silence, breathing in the
misty winter air. the lights of the
main road, through which they were
passing, burned dull and yellow in
the haze; even the shops had an
air of depression. But neither was
thinking of their surroundings. Mary
was nervous: and the man at her
side was thinking quickly of that
which must be said before the the

Presently he turned slightly in his
seat so that he faced her He could
not see her eyes properly, but her
face lost nothing of its beauty in

ter she felt, would in the, end in
clude the sirst. And the whole
might come through this man who
had so suddenly come into her life.
Mary sat back in her chair. She
was not used to giving expression to
her feelings. She was naturally re-
served, a feature which had always
hindereir her in her stage career
This little outburst had been drawn
from her in self-defense, for she
quite realized that Tor several weeks
her mother had been quietly making
the way smooth for her latest suitor.
She wanted this to cease, not be.
cause she disiiked I-erman Elwood
on the contrary she liked him
but simply that, since Guy Chalmer
had passed out of her life, she had
set marriage out of her calculations
and given herself up to the care
of their little family circle.
The murky daylight fadeh still
more, and the chime of the clock
on the mantelpiece pealed out the
hour of four. The girl sprang from
her chair.
81 must see to the tea she de-
clared hurriedly. What time is he
coming? Half-past?'
Yes, dear; and hadn't-hadn't you
better change"
"No time, mother"
The girl laughed lightly and pass
ed out of the room. Her mother
turned again to her contemplation
of the fire. She had not yet given
up hope.
Punchality was a habit with
Ferman Elwood, nor was he likely
to make an exception in the case
of tea with Mary Goi,on. He ar
rived to the minute. This was not
by any means his first visit to the
girls CHEEKY little home
He was a tall man of spare but
large frame. and pain, even ugly
face. He, like Guy Cha.mer, was
from Africa, but his country was the
remoteness of the dark interior.
He had spent nearly his whole life
on the veldt and in the "thirsts'
where human life has less chance
than the beasts of prey, whose in
stincts fight for them in the great
battle for existence. He was a trad
er, hunter, an explorer, a man
who knew little of the life in which
he found himself here in London.
Hitherto love for women had had
no meaning for HIM. The life he
had always known had kept such
thoughts from his mind The whole

reserve waiting for the magic touch
that should release its springs ami
set its floodgates open, never to
be closed again.
And that touch had come when
he first looked into the beautiful
eyes of Mary Gordon. Nor did he
pause to reason. The simplicity of
that newly-awakened nature knew no
check He loved, and wanted this
girl for wife. But his passion had
created no response. Mary liked him,
frankly, honestly. And this very
liking was his greatest Stumbling
block.
She took pleasure in presiding over
the tea-table ant ministering to his
wants. And again this was as bad
| fer his hopes as might well be
There was not a futter of hear,
| ut his coming: not tremor oi
nervousness as she poured out his
tea. She was as self-possessed in
all her thoughts of him as only a
good comrade could be. She had
spoken the truth when she said
she had no love to give him. And,
cnriously Enough, she fen sorry
that this was so.
How much he understood of The
position it would have been hard
to say. He gave no outward sign.
He pursued his object in his own
purposeful way. He walked on TO-
wards his goal without apparent
regard for the pitfalls which lay
before him. And this was his ma
ture in all things. 1t had been said
of Ferman EIlwood that death alone
could thwart his purpose.
1t was APP leasant meal Mother
and daughter enjoyed themselves
thoroughly, for their guest was in
teresting. He had seen so much OF
those things which others had
never seen; he understood human
nature and loved it, revel,ing in
its goodness, and only too ready to
sympathize with it's failings. He pos
sessed a ready sympathy for all
not a demonstrative sympathy, but
that steady helpfulness which rarely
fails in its purpose. And these things
made him a welcome friend.
Later, a chime from the clock
on the mantelpiece abruptly broke
up the party.

springing from her seat. 'Id forgot

There was a moments silence,

the girls frank eyes. The mother
found it necessary TO stir the fire
vigorously.

said at last.
She smiled up into his face. Then
her lids lowered, and she turned
to depart.

CHAPTER II.
Without Love.


Without Love.
If not sumptuous, Mary Gordon's
deft fingers and artistic taste could
make the high, square rooms. There
was an air of solid comfort about
the old-fashioned sitting room. There
was homeliness in all the furnish
ings, and a delightful refinement
in the selection and arrangement OF
the decorations.
The girl was sitting in leather
armchair before the fire with
large botting-pad on her knees and
several sheets of foolscap scattered
on the floor besi.e her. She was
neatly clad in a plain, unpreten-
tious house gown. Her brows were
puckered thoughtfully, and her beau
tiful grey eyes had a far-away look
in them. Her Tho,e attitude was
one of preoccupatiOn. She had been
trying to straighten out sorry in
her mind but the plot would not
come right, and she had drlfted
into daydreaming She was mental
ly wandering through old scenes
scenes OF pleasure ami pain indis-
criminately mixed up. She was think
ing of the man she had said good
bye TO, in that very room, three
long, dreary years ago. 1t was more
than three years now, and she
had received no sign from him.
Staring into the fire, she seem
ed to see his face, peering out at
her from amongst the glowing Goals,
the same cheerful, smi keg face
she mad always known. Every detail
of il was bright in her memory
still, every little popularity OF his
manner, his disposition, came back
to her now leapng from the back
cells of memory, mocking her, taunt-
ing her. She sighed He was gone
now, gone as completely out Of her
life as though he had never been
part OF it. The three years had
passed, dragged themselves out to
their miserable finish, and she-she
must count him as-dead.
At the other side OF the fire
her mother, a little old woman with
white hair and bowed figure, was
sitting in a chair drawn up as close
to the warming blaze as the fen
der would permit. There could be
no doubt as to the relations between
these two. Mother and daughter pos
sessed eyes that were Slentical in
every detail. Age had failed to dim
the older woman's. Rather had it
chastened their expression, reducing
it to one of the softest, gentiest
appeal. There was the same refine.
ment OF feature, the same irregular
tiles, the same downdrooping Of
he corners of the mouth.
Every now and then the mother
glanced in her daughters direction.
But for a long time she did not
speak. At last furry of falling
cinders gave her the excuse she
wanted.
Can you reach the scuttle dear?'
she said, in a gentle voice. I'm sor-
-, To dictr,.h Won
The pucker left the girls brows
as her thoughts suddenly came back
to the present.

smiled as she stopped and replen-
ished the fire.
