The One Thing
Forgotten
BY OSCAR cox

There was once a widow who had
one son, who was all she had in the
world TO love and to love her. Being
woman she knew her sex well and
was afraid that some designing girl
would snare her son and get him away
from her. One day she sent him to the
market to sell some eggs. In order
that no girl might see how handsome
he was she covered his head with a
pumpkin rind That he might not lay
his hands upon girl she filed them
with the eggs. not putting them In a
basket, but leaving them loose in his
hands
"There," she said as she saw him
walk away. Il don't see how he can
get into trouble If he meets girl she
will laugh at him and go on. If be MOL

She followed him with her eyes till

into the house. The young man went
on. and though his mother was right
in expecting persons to laugh at him
she did not count upon their wonder
ing why he was so equipped. The chill
dren booted al him, the men shouted
and the wuwen made faeetiouS re-
marks. He stood the jeers as well as
he could and at last struck an unfre-
quented path where he was free from
them.
On a stiIe that he must pass sat a
girl. He could see through the eye
holes in the pumpkin that she was
comely. AS he approached she re-
manned directly in his way and did not
move aside for him to pass.

1t is an interesting theory that it is

the interests of peace, would 1t not be
well to make minimum age limit IN
stead? Suppose we say that on the

over forty. and no man under forty

we found a monster eating room; with
huge lunch counters on either side and
long rows of tables down the middle.
Everybody was standing up There
were no seats anywhere. Hot soft
drinks were served at the side counters
and smoking coffee and tall glasses of
hot, clear tea. The Russian swallows

On the center tables, set above spirit

GREAT COPPER PRODUCTION.

Twelve Copper Mining Districts Have
Yielded About o5 Per Cent. of the
Total of Fifteen and a Quarter Billion
Pounds of Copper Produced in the
United States.
The copper mines of the United States
have produced more than fifteen and a
quarter billion pounds of copper, and of
this total twelve mining districts have
produced in excess OF l00000000 pounds
each, according to the United States geo
logical survey. These twelve districts,
located in eight states, have yielded AGO
per cent OF the total output of the
country since lS45, when the total prod
uct of the United States was but little
more than 100000 pounds. These dis
trcts are Butte, Mont, which has yield
ed 5.3I5, 100000 pounds, or 1915 per cent.
of the total production; Lake Superior
Mich, which has yielded 4,75600o000
pounds; Bisbee, Ariz., 1885 900 600
pounds; Morenci- Metcalf, Ariz., $50 ,700,-
900 pounds; Jerome, Ariz., 570O00000
pounds; Bingham, Utah, 465O00000
pounds; Shasta county, Cal, 100000 900
pounds; Globe, Ariz., 334700 pounds;
Ducktown, Tenn, 2ll,700,000 pounds;
Ely, New, l25,000,00 pounds; the foot
hill belt, California l04,000000 pounds;
and Santa Rita. n. NJ, twhere mining
is believed to have been begun as far
back at 1900 l03,000,000 pounds. All
other districts have produced S04, 100000
pounds.
1t is interesting to note from the
United States geological surveys report
on copper production for 1910 that the
first ten of these districts are also the
first ten largest producers to-day, al
though the order is slightly changed
These ten districts yielded 03.s4 per cent.
OF the production for 1910. The United
States is by far the greatest copper
producing country, our smelter output
OF copper in 1910 being 1915 per cent. of
the total for the world.
Nearly every one of the leading cop
per producing districts of the United
States, according to the geological sur
yey, made record output within the
three years preceding 1910, and nearly
every one of them could have done so in
1910 so far as the ability of the mines to
produce the ore was concerned An in
different copper market and metallurg
cal difficulties, however, resulted in a
decrease in the output for 1910 for sew
eral districts.
Probably Increased Production in 1912.
The surveys estimate on January ?,
1912, indicates copper output for 1911
greater than that of 1910 and nearly
equal to the record production of 1909. |
II is further stated that most of the |
companies are now in position to main
tain or even increase their present out !
put, so that, If the consumption of the
metal will permit, the production of cop
per in the United States for 1912 may |
be expected to show marked increase.
Tt is noteworthy that not one of the 7
leading copper districts of the United I
States, several of which have been active
producers for 80 years or more, has been
worked out or shown decrease in its
ability to produce copper. +
