FOR PARENTS TO READ

Dear Household: 1t has been quite while

ed anxiously for every number Of our Household.
Parents. let's sit down and ask ourselves this
question: Am l walking before my children
Vas God would have them walk? We needn'

walk that people follow.

there never was one that didn't have somechil-
dren Of very humble parentage. Shall we
teach that fortunate to shun and
even guy poor unfortunate little waits? oh,
that could have Christian teachers; then
they would do away with at least some OF the
scorn and pride. In my mindA Jesus must have
had some OF these children i'd mind when He
said: lnasmuch as ye do IT unto one OF the
least Of these. ye do 1T unto me- This class
reminds me Of a song I used to know. may
have forgotten IT, but It was something like
this:
what poor despised company Of travellers are

All. these are Of royal line, all children Of a
king;
Heirs of immortal crowns divine. and 10, for

When / look on the little sad faces for many
OF them are sad, when they have grown large
enough to see the difference made between
them and others. yet even some Of our lady ca
teachers make the difference so plain that
know the little hearts are crushed, and they
must wonder what they have done to make
IL so. Oh, how i wish I could put my arms
around all OF them and tell them that Jesus

children on this line. Let us teach them to

that none there, save Patricia and

diversion caused by Patricia's helpless

at Daunt.
A shadow had fallen on his face.
He did not look at her. but in his brain
the yachts name was ringing like q

And It was named the Barbara. Yet

and nonsense that he forced himself
to render.
Barbara felt this with an aching
sense of resentment. What was he

val into a rolllicking time for young
people. A certain amount Of fun must
be mixed with everyday life; not TO the
exclusion Of life's duties, but to make
sunshine in the shady places
There have been all sorts OF super
stitions connected with the day, but as
the world energies from it's twilight we
come from under the influence Of super
stition. In some old English book
read the diary or a letter from girl
who on St Valentines eve ate a boiled
egg, the yolk taken out and the place
filled with salt. and lay in bed with her
eyes shut until she heard the voice OF a
certain neighbours son she wanted for
her valentine"
She was the sort to succeed" laughed
Jessie. Many OF US would have said,
If he comes. he comes, In the mean
time not safeguarding things so that
when he comes he will indeed be on time
no matter how late he happened TO be. "
II am glad to say that most of the
comics are now sent in fun. or sent by
children who have no malice In their
hearts" added Judge Gordon. Il saw
30 comics with the words cut off. One
thoughtful teacher was fixing them for
the boys in her class room. She knew
that they would enjoy them quite as
much and had talked to them about
hurting peoples feelings"

Just then the telephone rang. Jessie

The Pru.pector's Fund

Now that the Denver papers
have started the ball rolling TO
raise a prospector's fund" it is
hoped that every other city ard
town in the state will follow
suit in so doing. 1t gees without
question that the Denverites ar
influenced by selfish motives in
contributing to this fund, for
they all expect that fer each IL n
dred dollars contributed they viii
be rrcompensed a hundred fold
in the discovery of bonanza
mines. Should many or few good
mines be discovered by using this
ten thousand dollars, it will prac-
tically all revert TO The city of
Denver. What's the matter with
the citizens of Crested Butte and
Gunnison getting together and
raising few hundred or thou.
sand dollars for the purpose of
prospecting the various minera,
districts in Gunnison County.
There are no more promising
fields for the mine prcspector in
the state than here offered: nor
are mineral resources more varied
than those existing in this county.
This country has never been pres
pec'ed in a systematic manner,
and there are hundreds Of min

BIG COLD STRIKE REPORTED
NEAR CRYSTAL

The Elk Mountain section has
been stirred this week by a SEN
ational discovery Of gold ore in
the Treasure Mountain tunnel
\ Atapproximately leo feet from
the portals a large vein was
cross cut that assays very high in
gold. Only the single assay has
so far been made, but foreman
Geo. Andr-atta was in Gunnison
Wednesday and declared that this
was an average sample and that
it looked like a big thing.
This tunnel has been projected
to run for many miles under
Treasure mountain. 10 find an
ore body like this almost at day
light is a surprising find. and
will encourage the capitalists be-
hind the enterprise. -Four men
have been at work with hand
drills all winter but it is probable
a large force will be put on very
shortly with a plant of machinery
operated by electricity.
