Miss Henthorne, through her
years of close acquaintance with
court procedure and the statutes,
conducted the hearing, according
to the lawyers present, as ably as
the average justice of the peace,

state bench.
Vancouver recently had a wo-

NINETY-NINE out of every hun.
dred of the followers of the red flag
in Ely or in any other town are not
American citizens. This statement
was made in the MINER few
weeks ago and several of the Two
Harbors believer in Socialism took
US to task for it The larger part
of the Ely Socialists, as we have
seen them, are not citizens which
can be plainly proven. We will
also state right here that there is as
much difference between an Amer
lean Socialist and Russian Socialist
as there is between day and night.
The American Socialist is of a
political party while the Russian
Socialist is nothing more than an
anarchist with neither a law or
God. How the American Socialist
can hobnob with that kicked out
red-hag bunch from Russia or
Poland is past our comprehension.
If you play with dirt you surely
will get dirty.

GETTING RICH

1t is not good policy to give bus
mess secrets away, but as many
people wonder how editors get rich
so quick we give out the following
information, hoping that everyone
of onr readers will not take adj
vantage of this and engage in the
newspaper business.
A fellow out west wants us to
run lot of advertising for him for
nothing, and if it brings results he
may become customer.
A gun firm wants us to run $40
worth of advertising and then send
it $40 in exchange for a shotgun.
Such a gun would retail about Sc.
For running S17 worth of locals we
can get dollar magazine telling us
how to do dressmaking at home.
By running $50 worth of advertis-
ing and sending SIS to an Atlantic
City firm we will be given a deed
to lot. When the tide is in the
lot stands six feet under water.
If we can run a column writeup
of doings to be held in North
Dakota nextfall amounting to 81 we
will be sent two one-dollar tickets.
Our railroad fare up there and back
for two would be about 500. We
can have almost any Chicago daily
paper sent us free. The subscrip-
ton rate is only 81, but all we have
TO do is to run $50 worth of locals.
For $40 worth of advertising and
SIS cash we can own a bicycle.
The wheels sell at just $12. About
one dozen firms are wanting to give
us shares in gold mines for adver-
Using. A nursery firm will send
us twenty-five cent rosebush for
only S. worth of advertising. For
running a six inch advertisement
for one year we get gross of pills.

HAVING MIND ALWAYS CLEAR
Systemization ls the Master Habit
That Brings Success to It's

Working or thinking without sys.

clean for the present problem. so that
1t may seize and grasp with all its
might the thing 1t is attempting to
accomplish.
There Is only one best way to learn
how to act: that way is the way of
system. systematic your thoughts,
your energies. your abilities. Learn
early In life to do this, and It will
prove the master habit that wins sue

Systemless men are always sur.
prised that the heads Of great enter.

cannot understand It at all. They do
not realize that man of great organ.
izing ability, VITA a splendid system,
can do more effective business in a
single hour at his ONCE than a sys-
temless man can accomplish in

but the effectiveness Of the. system
that tells.
One Of the advantages of college
course is that 1t trains the mind to
work by system. Whether he likes
to or not the student Is forced to
concentrate his mind when the time
comes. no matter what his mood, or
how he feels. Four years OF training
In this should put the mind into work
ing order. 1t should tune the intel
lect so that all the things will be in

SYSTEM OF PENSIONS lNAuGu-
RATED BY RAILROADS.
Differences Are Few and Adapted to
Varying Methods Under Which the
Lines Are Operated.

The following is general analysis
of the pension systems of 81 railroads.
These systems are maintained sole
ly by the companies without contribu-
tons from employees. One of these
railroads limits the age for entering
service In order to be eligible to a
pension to so years. regardless of rail-
road experience. Seven limit this age
of entrance to 45 for persons expert
enced in railway work. 30 for those
inexperienced, and set no limit where
service requires special qualifications.
Three companies fix 35 and two 45 re-
CARELESS of experience. and no limit
where special qualifications are re-
CURED Two limit this age to as and
one to 35 under all circumstances.
The remaining Ave companies have no
stated limit.
The average age Of retirement in
these Fl companies is fixed at about
81 years. and the number of years
service emitting an employee to
pension varies from 10 to 30 years.
One company allows life pension
Of 2 per cent, of the average month
ly pay for the ten years next proceed
ing retirement at 65. Another allows
one and one-fourth per cent Of the
highest average monthly pay up to $50
during any consecutive ten years OF
service, and in addition three-fourths
Of one per cent. Of any excess OF SUCH
average monthly over $50; in excep-
tional cases the amount may be In
creased not to exceed rs per cent:
not nuder $40 nor over SIS per month.
Fifteen of these companies give one
per cent. for each year OF service. OF
the average monthly pay for ten years
preceding retirement. In one railroad
this one per cent. is increased by
small approximation allowance from
the relief department, a mutual bene-
fit association supported In part by
the company and in part by the en-
ployes. Another bases Its pension on
a percentage of the salary received for
the entire term of service.
Two companies pension is daily
