Worry! Worry kills more men than
work Next to intemperance and i'm
morality, it heads the list in creating
disease and stimulating suicide. 1t is a
question whether the rich or the poor
worry more. Both have their troubles.
A rich man often has greater anxiety
over the care of his fortune than he
nad over its requirement. The attacks
on corporations, and railways are driv-
ing from their management their safest
and most conservative men. Recently
The writer was shown a letter written
oy man of wealth, Christian gentle
man whose benevolences are widely
Anown. In this letter he declined to
continue as, director of corporation in
which he had large personal interes t
and in which he represented the in
terests of number of friends, some of
them of moderate means. They looked
upon him as the faithful guardian of a
trust. He declined to continue in tie
direction of the corporation because of
the needless worriment involved if; in
it's trust-busting campaign, the govern
ment should assail it, This is not a
solitary instance. Men of honor; in
tegrity and ability who have accumulat-
ed what they need are withdrawing
from corporations rather than submit
to unjust attacks by muck-rakers and
to the annoyances of trust-busters. Is
this conducive to American prosperity
or to the interests of the American
people? There is but one answer. -

Four dry counties of Idaho have held

Four dry counties of Idaho have held
elections this year to determine
whether or not the counties should re-
main in the dry clumn. Two of the
counties Bannock and Canyon, last
summer voted to stay dry, while We'd
nesday last, Kootenai and Idaho counties
voted wet. Bonner county has been
watching for the results of the election
last Wednesday and had the result
been dry, it was, predicted no effort
would be made to call an election.
With the victory of the vets, Bonner
county may be said to have decided to
hold an election as soon as the law
allows and it is freely predicted, the
result will add one more to the list of
counties returned to the vets. Spirit

Knowing How.

1t makes no difference how high a |
salary mine superintendent, mine
manager, foreman, or an engineer is |
paid, if he does not "know how" his
services are practically valueless, or
even worse than nothing. To know
how does not entirely depend upon a
mans education. He may be gradu-
ate from one of our leading mining
schools, and yet be absolutely untitled
for the work he has in hand. Or he
may have scarcely passed through the
common schools and yet be exceedingly
proficient in his chosen occupation or
profession. A NINE superintendent
may have been engaged in mining for
years, and yet not know how to take
out ore economically or proftably; and
he may not know how to handle men
to the best advantage. A foreman
may be poor judge of rock and for
nation, and iail to take advantage of
change in formation which might lead
to the uncovering of ore. He may not
know how to catch up caved ground,
or he may follow prehistoric methods
in mine development. Such being the
case, he is poor investment for the
company, as also is the superintendent
who is over him, and the manager,
who takes still higher rank. They may
all be coed men, but they do not know.
And, because they do not know, the
company employing them is virtually
throwing away its money; the mine
owner makes slow and unsuccessful
progress in the way of development
and operation, and many valuable
properties are eventually abandoned as
being worthless, while the mining in
dnstry is given another black eye.
Knowing how Is ever, thing in min
ing, as well as in other industries, ant
It's portance caniot be Ietter illus
trated than in the recital of an inciden
wherein mining company was com
PEELED to suspend operations for nearl,
week, and at a j. great financial los
because the mine pump was out o
order. and no one aiol the mine wa
able to repair it. At last, in despera
ton, the company sent for an exper
engineer and pump man. In half a
hour after his arrival the pump wa
working as good if not better tina
ever before. The company was please
with results but Mortified at the size {
of the bill, which was for $25.25; an
requested an itemized bill. When
was received it read as follows: ''Ft
fixing the pump rs cents; for KNOWN
how, $25."
The bill was paid without the Sigh
