Napoleon seriously. 1T was because
of such lovable weaknesses that my

father always was a sentimntalist,
and he lost many good opportunity

your head, young man, that money has
any emotions, the better off you'll be"

| The quicker you see, the better" in
sisted the captain, dwelling upon the
subject so strongly that one might
think he had really almost need to de-
fend himself. '.Where would l have

younger man politely

the captain. "We haven't. There are
only two pieces of land available, and
only one of them desirable"

Smith with growing interest

lust then the telephone bell rang,
and the call proved to be for young
Smith. Excusing himself from the
captain, who seemed reluctant to let
him go, Napoleon walked out on the

For whom was the eall?' asked
Marjorie.
''For me. of course" declared Billy
Peters. "Pll gamble it was some one

Peters in his own banter. ITS from

"All right, Billy" he agreed,

In the meantime, Napoleon sought

instantly with smile of pleasure and
extended his hand.

Napoleon grinned. Forsythe liked
that grin; he knew it had commercial
value, and he waited with concealed
anxiety for the answer.

turned upward.

time, we'll sit down and have a good

"I'll take you,' SAID Napoleon, with
an alacrity which almost startled the
older man.

said, grinly.
So it came about that Napoleon
Smith was put out in Sunnyview and
began the herculean task of selling
building lots to prospective home seek
ers. The first week he was well-nigh
discouraged, for, in spite of all his en-
gaging efforts and his pleasing per-
sonality, and even despite his grin, the
flock of people attracted by the For

looked at the appalling forsakenness

to do better he declared. 'What

"Well-um-not less than fifteen

The younger man was silent for a
moment, looking into the beady little
wrinkied eyes of his employer.

COOPERATION IN THE cOEUR
D'AlENES.

The organization of board Of trade
in Kellogg makes the third CONNER
cial body in this district. the other two
being the Wallace board of trade and
the Mullan commercial club. Each
town has of course its local questions
which must be solved by the local or
ganization, but there are larger ques-
tons which concern the entire district
and in the solution Of which every
part of the district should have
voice. For instance, there has long
been pressing need of publicity de-
signed to make known the facts re-
garding mining in the Occur dAlene
district as a means of inducing cap
ital to investigate and invest in the
many promising properties that await
development. No one town can under
take this work on the proper scale.
because 1t involves much labor and
expense, and all sections of the dis
trict would share in the benefit. Now
that three of the most important sec
tons Of the district have active COM
mercial organizations, they should
unite in organizing a publicity cam
paign, one that will fairly make known
the wonderful record of production
and profit of the Occur d'Alene mines
and also the splendid opportunities
that are still offered in legitimate min
ing investment.
Then there is the Panama exposi-
ton, where this district should have
an unexcelled exhibit. This should en-
list the active cooperation of the three
bodies. Many matters are
coming up, such as train
service, mail service, the building of
wagon roads or trails, etc, which con-
,ern directly or indirectly the entire

advantage of all by close and cordial |

WHAT ALASkANS WANT.

1t is not any special favors that the
Alaskans want, simply the rights of
American citizens under the laws The
rights and benefits of these laws are
denied the people of Alaska and the
people Of a very large part of the west
since the Pinchot theories of conser-
walton have been SO generally adopt
ed. There will be return to sanity
some time. The surprise is that so
many fool theories could have come
into reality and that they should have
been permitted to prevail so long in
the face of the damage and injustice
wrought The following concerning
Alaska is from the Butte Miner:
Something should be done at once
to make life along the Yukon worth
living to the sturdy pioneers who have
gone in and possessed the land. They
want no subsidies nor other form of
philanthropy they want home rule,
just like other Americans have. They
know that the irksome restrictions of
today will be removed, but they want
the relief now, while they are alive"

TIE vIRlLITY OF AGE.

Beginning few years ago when
DR. Osler made his famous declara :
ton that man passed his period or
usefulness at 40 and should then be
chloroformed as useless burden to
society. those faddists who are ever
eager to grab new thought and dis
cuss 1t with much assumed wisdom
expounded the Osler idea to such an
extent that many who passed the fatal
milestone were impressed with this
supposedly scientific conclusion tina,
they began to lose their grip and
there were those who upon passing
so began to feel that there were or
soon would be mere derelicts on the
great sea of life's activities.
But like most of the fads that per-
iodically take possession of the peo-
pie, this one launched by DR.. Olser
seems to have reached high tide and
is now rapidly receding, and reac-
tlon based on common sense of the
people Is now under way. A strik-
ing indication of this change was
furnished in st. Louis the other day,
with reference to which the Globe

THANKSGIVING.

In no part Of our great country
should the spirit of Thanksgiving be
more pronounced than here in the
Occur d'Alenes. While It is true that
most Of the people of this district are
so occupied In the struggle to accum-
nlate worldly goods that they for the
time lose sight of the treasures that
each should lay up above, yet II Is a
fact that when the Thanksgiving per-
Tod rolls round 1t is apparent that deep
down In their hearts there Is an abid-
ing faith in supreme ruler Of the
universe, the giver Of all good, to
whom they in acts If not in words give
thanks for the blessings of health and
the bounteous prosperity they enjoy.
One of the best features of life in
the Occur d'Alene district Is that pow
erty Is almost unknown, that there Is
work for all, and that labor is liber-
ally rewarded, enabling all to live
comfortably and still lay by something
for the proverbial rainy day, Today,
therefore, there will be few homes IN
which bounteous feast is not spread
With the national bird as the center
piece.

SPLENDID UTTERANcEs.

Governor Hodges of Kansas who
would like to be United States sena-
tor, utters sentiment unusual from a
democratic source However, it is adj
mirable.
Il want no third party to muddy
the WATER" he said. There is no
place for three great parties in this
country"
And then he advances an idea which
the national democratic administra-
ton, minority party in power, seems
never to have been able to grasp. He
says;
II am keenly sensible of the fact
that three tickets in the field will
practically assure us a victory; with
two tickets we will have only good
fighting chance If we win with but
one opponent, we will know that the
people of Kansas have been converted
to democratic ideals of progress an
that we triumph by the faith that the
public has in us. ! would rather lose
the state election advocating those
principles that tend to the betterment
of men and morals than to be sue

ELECTRIC TRANSPORTATION is
NEEDED.

The people of the Occur dAlene
district have no fault to find with the
local train service between the sew
eral towns, barring the Murray
branch, which should have daily
train Generally speaking, the service
is as good as can be expected from
steam railways. But this district has
long passed the time when steam rail-
ways meet the requirements of bust
ness. What Is needed is more frequent
trains and covering period OF the
day which will serve the convenience
Of all classes Of people. Electric rail-
ways are the modern means of trans
portation between nearby towns, and
IN this respect the Occur d'Alene dis
trict is behind almost every mining
district in the west.
1t is possible that there may be diff
liculties in the way of constructing an
Independent electric railway system in
this district which would prevent cap
ital from investing In the enterprise,
but what Is to prevent the steam rail-
way companies now operating here
rom electrfying their lines to the ex-
tnnt of handling the local messenger
nail and express business? An
abundance of power Is available and
The equipment for operation would be
comparatively inexpensive. Whether
t would pay to put on motors Of suf-
licient power to handle the ore and
other freight traffic would be a matter
sor experts to determine. For the
lighter traffic 1t seems certain that the
expense would be less than steam,
while the rapid and frequent means of
transportation would greatly increase
The local business.
Such system could be made to
connect Wardner Kellogg, Wallace,
Burke and Mullan. There Is plenty of
business in sight between those points
to insure a good profit to the enter
prise and the people are entitled to
this improved modern service.

Democrat says:

Democrat says:
ut was not 90 console but to inspire
the Missouri State Teachers Associa
tion that DR.. Earl Barnes of Phila-
delphia told the members Of the lead :
ership In the world of mental activ-
ity held by the old men and women.
He quoted extensively from book on
The Age of virility,' written as a
result of a careful analysis of the
biographies OF individuals who left
enough impress on the world to get
their names In the Dictionaries. The
author had studied carefully the ca
reer Of each and then made generall-
cations that seemed startling to the
Missouri teachers when quoted by DIR.
Barnes He estimates the PERCENTAGE
OF achievements between certain ages.
Men under 40 had contributed lyric
poetry, had performed feats in war
and exceled in athletics. But in the
great work of the world he announced
that 10 per cent was performed be-
between the ages of 40 and so, 20 per
cent between the ages of so and so,
IS per cent between the ages of 60
and 70, q per cent between the ages
of 10 and so and per cent after the
age of so.
"Dr. Barnes argued that there is a
physiological and psychological basis
for this fact as well as for the fact
that in the purely physical work of
certain modern industries workers
lose their efficiency at an early age.
Physical work Is directed largely by
reflex action and not by conscious
cerebration. This machinery wears
out. On the other hand the mental
processes are not impaired by use.
The man stores facts and experiences
In his mind which are useful In form
ing judgment. DIR. Barnes devoted
much Of his lecture to concrete illus
trations of the remarkable vitality of
men over so years of age. Among
them he mentioned Wallace, Bigelow,
Gladstone, Goethe, Mitchell, Booth,
and a host of others.
"The chief value to the teachers of
such a lecture is to stimulate them in
he pursuit of knowledge, not because
hey will necessarily need it in an ex-
to- morrow, but because 1t
will become part Of them and will
Increase their efficiency. The lesson
should be general. The man who goes
backward with age does so because
ne is not trying to go forward"
