VALUE OF IMAGINATION.

Life naturally must be more inter

ton than to one who lives only for
the tangible things about him and
who fears to dream as his fancy Wits
because reality bears heavily upon
him. We do not think that even the
man of affairs would find the indul-
gence of few day dreams detrimental
to his interests, while TO those VINO
look only upon the serious side OF life
and share only it's darker aspects.
few dreams of what perhaps may come
to pass would act as tonic upon tired
nerves, says the Charleston News and
Courier. Our dreams are often COM
panions to us. and sometimes we ind
ourselves moving unconsciously with
them in world far removed from our
real habitation, but one whose prom
ises seem easy of fulfllment and
whose. delights compensate for some
of the hardships we may, perhaps, be
called upon to bear during our waking
hours The world which is our Idea

accomplishment and all its measure OF
appreciation-the world in which we

to live and defying us to resist Its

its shores and discover long-hidden

the desert spots of life.

1t is rather comfortable to hear that
the opinion of experts in the Lake SUI
perior region is decidedly adverse to
the view that the supplies of iron ore
at the present rate of increased use
will last only short time. Those ia
miliar with the region point out bill
lions of tons in the Cascade range, be-
sides millions proved up in the Neg
aunee, Ishpemig and other ranges to
the west ward of the latter. Possibly
n strict analysis of the prophecy of
short life for our ore supply would
disclose that it refers only to the ex-
haustion of the Mesaba deposits. Even
then they are predicated on the main
tenance of a rate of increase in min
ing equal to the exceptional one of the
past two decades. Apart from the cor.
rectness of that calculation the fact
is well known hat there are vast de-
posits of ore yet practically un
touched.
