Tho copper market has not lost it's snap to any extent, although London re- ports decline in the price of copper metal. On the very day the cable brought this news. American copper stocks made their highest figures, and copper metal sold at IS cents a pound. the record price in three or four years. The big copper min- ing companies profess to be afraid they will be unable to meet the demands for metal. and that we are in danger of a runa way market, which may take the quotation up to 20 cents pound. Such an advance would be regarded as almost calamitous. in the light of what hap pened after the 9 cent stage was reached few years ago. Copper producers were five years recovering from the train of disa astrous results which followed the boom days previous to the 1907 panic The high prices then ruling led to tre- mendous over production, just as the fabulous profits in steel led to the. con struction of capacity ridiculously ahead of the demand-that to be followed in turn by the depression that has robbed the manufacturers of the big returns that were gambled for. The copper situa- tion, is legitimately strong, however and is quite likely to remain so, although vivid fluctuations in prices of the metal and copper shares may be seen before stability in values is reached
 Wall street has a very slight idea of the damage which can result from 6 flood such as is now overflowing mil lions of acres of the most fertile land In the country. Only those who have seen for themselves or personally been brought in contact with the evil results are able to distinguish between the annually re- curing spring overflows and the genuine v big floods. At this distance. they all look pretty much alike and the record facts are required before much of an im- pression is produced As a market fac tor. the big inundation of this year has produced a very slight market impress sion. although the situation might develop into a calamity as huge as the San Fran cisco earthquake.
 The steel trust may do some more financing on top of the s30. 800. 000 issue of bonds put out last week. Authority has already been given for the issue of sl5o- 000,000 bonds on the Gary plant, and 1t Is surmised that whenever opportunity seems right. fresh batch of stuff will be omitted. The trust Is never so strong in cash that 1t would not like to be stronger. It's treasury resources have been cut into severely by drafts for divi- dends and other purposes. Replenish- ments is now always in order, and the public is likely to be called on from time to time to fatten the vaults
 Mir. George Gould may be preparing to retire from Wall street and live abroad.

Shoe Dealer Duke.

The story of how grand duke, a
near relation Of the car Of Russia.
came to be boot and shoe dealer on
the Nevsky Prospeckt comes from st.
Petersburg. Some time ago woman
from Paris appeared in the Russian
capital, covered with diamonds. 1t
was loudly whispered that this woman
was a protege of the grand duke; that
the money that paid for all this dis
play came out of the admiralty treas
ury and would have paid the crews of
many ships in the war with Japan.
One evening at reception this wom-
an was hooted and was obliged to
withdraw. The czar Drove her away
and dismissed the grand duke In dis
grace. His career having thus been
closed he opened the shoe store. Now
he has been pardoned and restored to
his rank. But his shoe store contin-
ues to do business and all the officers
who are under his orders are wise
enough to patronize it in order not to
put anything in the way of their ad-
vancement.

Bathetic,

General Marion Maus has keen
and delicate taste in literature, and
at a recent dinner at Vancouver Bar
racks, discussing popular novel of
little worth, General Maus said:
THE pathos of the book is really
bathos. 1t reminds me Of a private's
widow The good woman was about
to sell her household furniture, her
rugs, plated ware and what not. AS
she was, going over these articles her
eyes filled with tears, host of mem.
cries rose to her mind. and, laying
aside half-dozen knives, she said:
oh, dear! can't let these go!
They've been in poor Georges mouth
too often!'"

HEROES IN DAILY LIFE
NOT ALL BRAVE DEEDS ARE DONE
ON FIELD OF BATTLE.
Demand Of Duty Responded to, Fro
quentIy With Sublime Heroism, In
the Common, Every Day Walks
Of Humdrum Employment.

While war, in the very nature OF
things, abounds in opportunities fer
yalarous exploits, and its every deed
Is written large on the page of his
tory, the humber and quieter sphere
of private life affords even more and
keener opportunities for the display
of true heroism, writes Gen. FL. M.
Chittenden in The Forum. The physi-
clan or nurse who voluntarily goes in
to plague stricken district, the miner
who braves the fire-damp to rescue
his imprisoned fellows, the crew who
sci is sinking, the fireman who scales
tottering wall to save a human life,
the patrolman who enters a den OF
desperadoes at imminent personal
risk-whoever, in the pursuance OF
duty, no matter how humble, subordi-
mates his personal safety to that duty
is as much entitled to the COM
mendation OF heroism as soldier who
does his duty in war can possibly be.
War against physical nature and
ultimate subjugation to the intellectu-
al and spiritual dominion OF man, con-
stitute struggle which will give am
pie scope to the energies OF the race
beyond our remotest ken. We cannot
even guess it's ultimate possibilities;
but so long as there are mountain bar.
riers to be overcome, floods to be con-
trolled, deserts and swamps to be re-
claimed; or SO long as men are de-
MED equal opportunities, and "preda-
tory wealth" has any other than his
toric meaning, man need not feel that
war is necessary to call forth the
best there is in him.
The age of true heroism, the age OF
the ideal strenuous life"-when some
philosopher of the distant future shall
write a history of civilization-will
not be that Of Alexander or Caesar or
Napoleon, but OF those later periods
when the energy OF the race is direct
ed to friendly cooperation instead Of
bloody conflict or incessant prepare
ton therefor. 1t will be an age in
which every virtue of militarism will
find higher and fuller expression,
while Its manifest vices, and particu-
larly the horrors OF war, will be laid
aside. Let nations wage all the Pana-
ma wars that they like-the more the
better-but let them outgrow as
rapidly as possible their Gravelottes
and Plevnas and Port Arthurs.

SEEK INFORMATION.
GUGGENHEIMS CALL AT WHITE
HOUSE SEEKING INFORMATION
REGARDING ALASKA.
President Unable to Venture Predic.
ton OF Action by Congress on
Pending Measures That Would
Permit Opening of Coal Fields.

Washington.-President Taft gave Q
hearing late Friday on Alaska and the
prospects for its development to Sen.
ator Guggenheim of Colorado, his
brother Daniel Guggenheim, and sew.
eral experts of the Guggenheim com.
pany.
Secretary Fisher was present, and
Vice-President Sherman, at the invita-
ton of the president, was listener.
The Guggenheims were ANXIOUS tc
know, it was said, what might be ex.
pected in the way of legislation that
would allow the development of
Alaska's natural resources and in par.
ticular the coal.
They control the Copper River rail
road planned to tap the Bering coal
fields. For this road there is now
practically no traffic, and the opening
of the coal lands would ensure a big
tonnage. They were reported inter
ested also in Secretary Fishers plan
to build a government railroad in
Alaska This road, if built, would not
compete with the Copper River road.
Neither the president nor Secretary
Fisher would predict action by con-
gress on pending measures that would
ensure the opening of the coal fields
although the president has made many
addresses and frequently has suggest.
ed to congress the necessity of pro.
viding leasing plan that will allow
the fields to be opened.

of the world, imitation eggs are made

far as to make eggs of gold and sill
yer and to set them with gems for the
Easter trade.
The Christian church introduced
the most beautiful celebrations of all.
Easter Is the inspiring feast Of the
year and its celebration means a re.
newal of faith. Even in remote parts
of the world, where priests and their
little focks assemble, the Easter
lights burn on the affairs and faithful
congregations sing Easter carols with
Joy.
The most solemn celebration OF all
Is that held in the Church Of the Holy
Sepulcher at Jerusalem. Pilgrims as.
semble from every corner of Christen-
dom, and ascend the Via Dolorosa
chanting prayers. Many attend the
feet-washing ceremonies, and throngs
haste to the church where devotion
keeps them waiting from Good Friday
until Saturday afternoon. when the
Patriarch with unlighted torch enters
the gloom Of the sepulcher.
They watch with Dated breath for
his return. No light flickers in the
darkness, then suddenly blaze
flames up, the torch is on fire and
with a shout of thanksgiving the null
/ titude breaks into singing glorious
hymn Of thanksgiving. Those nearest
the altar eagerly snatch fire from the
torch, candle after candle is lighted
until every taper in the church Is
burning. The worshlpers rise, the
gloom is dispelled. and they go forth
into the gray of the morning greeting

v AS II by magic the dull
fields are yelled in tender green and
the flowers bud In the sheltered
places.
In the first days of human history
the cave man rubbed dry sticks to-
gether to steal fire from the sun.
| When the spring melted the ice of
winter, he bowed more profoundly to
the great luminary in the sky as 1t
appeared in the east, and later when
he built his affairs he renewed the
fires when the sun turned northward.
The word Easter Is from the Saxon
"Eostre," the name Of the goddess of
spring. "Eoster" lived in the east
with the rising sun. She was the
most gentle Of all the deities of the
pagan world. AS she tripped across
the meadows the grass came out, the
flowers blossomed, the Ice was Broken

merrily. All the earth rejoiced, for
the fairer seasons of the year were at

Significant Of Resurrection.
Each year Eostre was born again
significant Of the resurrection from
the dead Of the Christian faith. The
young plants awoks to life from dry
seeds, the chicks from the eggs, and
everywhere in nature the springtide
under the spell or Eostre became
lovely after the winters sleep.
The Romans adopted the Saxon
Eostre as their goddess Aurora. When
the Christian fathers were naming the
feasts of the church 1t was a wise
thought that brought the old nature
worship and the Easter resurrection
into harmony.
