SAYS UNCLE CAV

Blessed is he that fame can not
tempt nor high place lure from the
paths of peace. The wisest man I
know is Senator John-that's what
we all call him-of Puckyhuddle.
Senator John is only an ex-member
! of the upper house of the state legis-
lature. He might have gone to con-
gress or the United States senate
! if he hadn't too much brain. Time
was when he held the states political
destinies in the hollow of his hand
and the man who wanted some
thing had to call around and say,
Good morning, Senator john" and
| be almighty pleasant about it. Sem
ator John cracked the whip for Il
good many years and what with see
! ing that the corporations got just
/ enough, not too much, and that the
to be good for them, he waxed plump
and pink and hard of eye and sharp
| of tongue. He drove the senate like
a flock of sheep and told his party
what to do and when to do It.
| But one day he quit, stopped right
short off and went back to Pucky-
huddle to practice law in an easy
going sort of way and enjoy his
neighbors. met him the other
night in place where the lights
! things that lend themselves o good
| cheer. He was just as pink and
plump as ever, but the hard look was
gone from his eyes and his words
had no sting in them.
why did you give up your public
career?" 1 asked him as he leaned
back contentedly, putting a fresh
cigar and looking ten years younger
than he did a decade ago.
For the good of my SOUL" said he.
IT still like to come up to the city &C.
casionally and look at the bright
lights. Sometimes in a modest way,
take a hand in the political game
where men and measures are made
and unmade. But my heart is with
the folks down in Puckyhuddle and I
have no serious interests elsewhere.
That's why I chucked it all and went
back there to live.
Down in PuckyhuddIe, everybody
knows everybody else. We're all
friends and real nefghbors. Nobody
tries to get the best of anybody else
and we pull together. Down there
Everybody speaks to me and I speak
to everybody. We're all glad to see
each other every day, and we don't
have to shake a hand that is only
waiting for a chance to get in lick.
I'm close to those people in the
old town and they're close to me.
I mean something to them-some-
thing more than a political fnstrU-
ment for good ends or bad-they
think I'm human down there, and
IL LVS Inere long enough 70 IOrScC
all that 1 ever knew about the game
of political cut-throat, L will be hu-
man again. And that's worth more
than any office within the gift OF the
unsuspecting American people"
Senator John laughed pleasantly,
intellectually, almost as lightly as
a boy. And recalling the unhappy
contrast between that laugh and the
other one, cold, bitter and sardonic,
which marked the end of battle
that sent his political foes reelirg
into confusion, I felt that here was
Ia big man and a fortunate one.
Blessed is he that fame can not tempt
nor high place lure from the paths
of peace.-(Copyright, 1912, by the
Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.)

There's brook that dances
Underneath a bridge;
There's wood-thrush singing
Somewhere up the ridge

And to go a-wandering
Up his forest road.

THE METAL MARKET
IN SATISFACTORY CONDITION

No good reason exists, under present
general conditions, and with the metal
market so strong and buoyant, why
every mine in the west should not be
on the producing list. Gold, of course,
is always staple; but, with the ruling
quotations on lead, silver, copper and
zine, there is not a mine in the coun-
try that connot be worked at a
profit. Lead has been stationary, in
price, for two or three months; but, at
the ruling quotation, lead ores of av
erage grade can be handled at good
advantage; while silver is on the up
grade again, and is bringing a figure
that should greatly encourage pro-
ducers of white metal. AS for cop
per, the advance being made in this
metal should greatly stimulate ac-
tivity in mining for copper ores. If
copper were to remain at present quo
t~ations, the situation should be per
fectly satisfactory to copper producers.
As a matter of fact, there are those
who believe it would be dangerous for
the red metal to go higher; doubtless
through a fear of reaction which might
cause prices to drop below present
levels. With copper at 16 and IL
cents the average producer could not
well ask for anything better; and, If
this figure were to be maintained, in
definitely, the industry would always
rest upon a must substantial basis
