Made a Great Hit.

A well known ventriloquist was in
vited to give a performance at a big
institution In connection with some
charity, and he heard that steps were
being taken to insure for him a large
yet critical audience. who would be
close enough to watch his every move
ment. The night came, the attendants
carried on three LAY" figures on
chairs, and the v~entriloquist received
a great ovation from those assembled.
His performance was unusually bril-
liant. and Notwithstanding the quips
and songs which he went through his
muscles showed no evidences of his
art. The changes Of voice were mar
vicious. and the astonished crowd at
the close of the exhibition gave him
a rousing cheer. Again and again they
called him back. while he expressed
his pleasure by innumerable bows. At
last the cheering ceased and the artist
was permitted to retire. Hardly had
he done so when the three "lay" fig
ures got up from their chairs and
walked on the stage. The ventrtlo'
quist had employed three friends to
impersonate his usual mechanical dg-
ures, and he had tricked every one
Of his audience.

Salt Lake Mining Review: A great many mining men, men who
work in the mines and know how to polish off the head ct a drll
could make a great deal more than regular wages if they woulo
take a working lease on some property Of known value; and more
than one mining company, fl could only be brought to believe IT,
could derive a greater revenue by leasing their properties than they
could by working them themselves.
Aleaser can often accomplish more than a mining company can
The leaser is working for himself, Individually, and knows no hours
The mining company has fixed charges to meet, such as Office rent
and salaries to secretary, manager, and Office boy. The leaser works
all the time because he is working for himself The pick and shower
miner, in the employ of the company, has no interest at stake but
to put in his time; and this, often. to the actual loss of the company
The leaser has but few wants and demands no luxuries. He can
live and carry on his work at half the expense that a company can.
A leaser can get along with less equipment than a company which,
with its big ideas. imagines it must have. His automobile Is often
nothing but a burro, and his champagne nothing more than good
spring water. Therefore his expense account is not padded, and
he has no need to tear his hair and wonder what his manager Is
doing that so much money is needed in outputting a few tons OF
ore.
The leasing system is good for any camp, and a miner VINO Is
fortunate in securing a good lease is much better off than if he were
working in a company mine for so much a day. And he is a bene-
factor to his camp, for he buys his supplies of local merchants, and
the men he employs spend the major portion of their earnings
among the business men of the district The leaser is oftimes
more successful and Independent than a mining company. He is a
camp benefactor, and, perchance, may develop a small mine into a
great producer.

Some Leap Year Hints

Girls, be sure and look before you leap. Pick out a fat man.
They wear better in the long run, and then, too, they are easier to
land. A fat man is tender-hearted and simply cannot refuse an offer
of marriage.
Never mind the looks. Don't wait until you find a Greek God
Grab off a homey one while the grabbing is good. The homely
ones re the ones who bring home the pork chops.
If you cannot support the young man in the manner to which
he has been accustomed, be honest and straight forward about 1t
and tell him SO. Don't lead him to expect champagne when you
have only beer income. Never lie to the young man about your
salary,for when he learns the truth there is apt to be trouble.
Be sure that your approach is all that it should be. Every
thing depends upon that When you ask a young man to marry
you don't go about it as though you were ordering a ham sandwich
in a one-armed restaurant. Be pleasant and polite about it APP
proach him with tact and let him find out your true nature after it
is too late for him to back out.

A Change of Opinion

Some years ago a noted warrior or
the Potawatamie tribe presented him
self to the Indian agent at Chicago as
one of the chief men Of his village, OBJ
serving with the customary simplicity
Of the Indian hat he was a very good
nan and a good American and con-
GLIDING with a request for a dram OF
whisky.
The agent replied that it was not his
practice to give whisky to good men,
that good men never asked for whisky
and never drank it when it was offered
to them and that 1t was bad Indians
only who demanded whisky.
"Then," said the Indian. "me -
rascal."-"Modern Eloquence."

Serm mons and Impressions.

In listning to "A sermon or 9th.
er address, there is this to be
said: The next day, or perhaps
the next hour, one cannot accu-
rately report a single thing that
is said. One may give an impres.
sion, in q very imperfect way,
perhaps, that the whole discourse
has made upon him, but as to
any definite instruction. that is
almost universally lacking.
A man will say, "that was a
fine Sermon" but to quote a line
from it accurately isquite impos-
Esiblp. That has hem our expert
ence. We feel the glow of an idea
maybe, but just what that ideal
is we cannot say. Perhaps it is
not necessary, Perhaps it is we'll
enough to frel only the influence
OF what was said.
Still, one should learn some.
thing definite from every sermon
he hears. There is never a SER

Deal gently with tho old man
who has lived ont his iour.sc0re
years. However much be may
try, it will BE- hard for him tOs
make himself congvniai with
those now associated with him.
He is one to himseli. Those who
began life with him are al gons
home.
They dropped outtby the way
side. He trndges along his weary
way and often longs for q word
Of tenderness q warm hand
shake. o God bless you! The
voice that once used to thrill
him ls now silent, songs that
once inspired him have lost their
melody, and the tender hand
that touched him lie vanished.
His world is out Of sight aud
there is not much in the world
where he now lives. Sometimes
he starts up and tries to be cheer
ful, but strange sounds greet his
ears and a strange lie is whirling
past him. There are no faces
now that look familiar to him.
He is lonely old man, regard.
less OF the fact that he tries to
conceal the knowledge of it from
himself.
Oliver Wendell Holmes gives %
a grahic picture OF the old man
and how stealthy his age comes
upon him. "At fifty your vessel
is stannch, and you are on deck
with all the restin all weathers.
At sixty the vessel still floats,
and you are in the cabin. At
seventy you, with q few fellow
passengers are on q raft. At
eighty you are on spar to which
possibly one or two frien ds OF
about your own age are still
clinging."
Therefore. be kind to the old
man. Tel him ananecdote once
in a while and laugh With him.
When he looks depressed, take
by the hand and tell him you are
glad to see him and when the
tears dim his old ewes, brush them
away and help h'm to he glad.
Make him think he is still worth
something to life. and thathe is
a bpnedic,ion to us all.-Anony-
