POLITENESS OF VALUE
,s CONSTANT HELP AND BENEFIT
TO OTHERS.
No Greater Good in This World Than
Love, Kindness and the Considera-
ton Of Others in
the Home.

Poiteness that is bred in the bone
and is in constant use creates in the
character a resemblance to a flower
whose beauty and perfume pervades
the atmosphere in which it develops,
and is a constant help and benefit to
others.
suppose there is no greater good
in this world than love, kindness,
and the consideration of others in the
home
Boys in a family where there are
no girls, owe it to their mother to
help her with the heavy housework
There is nothing degrading in pushing
washing machine or turning a
wringer but on the contrary it is hon
orable service. Any boy who will let
his mother do any heavy work that
can be done by him is making a
wrong start in life and is laying up
trouble for somebody's daughter when
he marries her.
Most of us take life too seriously
and fail to see the bright and beauti
full side of things as. we plod along
with our daily work. Cheerfulness
and the ability to be happy and make
those around us happy are not Divine
gifts. but simple heart growths that
can be cultivated at the same time we
cultivate corn and the flowers. They
are crops that pay 1000 per cent.
The most beautiful thing in the
world is wholesome, sweet-tempered
girl, whose cardinal points are unself-
fishness, cleanliness, neatness and poll
t ness-whOse natural fovableness is
SO irresistible that people swarm
around her like bees around a honey
suckle. She is tonic to the i'll and
unfortunate. She is the embodiment
of Joy, and her friends are legion.
This girl is the one who helps her
mother-who sings at her work-who
caresses and cheers her father, look
ing after his comfort-who works in
stinctively and quietly without osten-
tation.
She thinks her people are the finest
people in the world and they adore
her as she deserves.-Julie Gordon.

glad to see him, I thought you liked

"I'm crazy about, him." said Mrs.
Merriwid, dryly. Il think he's the

Aunt James eyes lost their usually

viciousness. Thank you, my DEAR"
she said. "At the same time l don't
regard the society of a well.informed

however you may feel about 1t, and I
may add, my love, that it seems to me
unladylihe to make personal remarks

Aunt Jane snatched the little lace

GOLD
 FROM MILL FLOOR

A crew of men is busily engaged at the present time converting the old Sheep creek quartz mill into an eXper- mental station for the Alaska-Gas- tineau Mining Companys use. It is we'll known fact that much of the ore milled in this old plant was very rich- This being the case the floor would naturally carry, as most quartz mills do, considerable value in gold that has ben deposited in fine parti- cles through the operation of the plant.
 That there can be no needless loss of such valuable metal the floor is being burned in the furnace of the old plant and the ashes are to be put through a process that will enable the recovery of the gold. Such instances are not uncommon. In nearly every placer camp the old sluice boxes are known to yield liberally when re- duced to ashes.

OLDEST NEWSPAPER QUITS

The president of the Chinese Re public, Yuan Schi Kai, recently sup pressed the newspaper Kingdom, which undoubtedly was the oldest newspaper in the world. For 1,5OO years it has reported the more im- portant news not only of China, but also of foreign countries. At time when the art of printing and journal ism was as yet unknown in Europe, the Chinese Gong-Chung invented a means for making types from lead and silver, and in the year 400 A. D., the paper King-Boa was printed, and has since been issued regularly until recently. The first edition was print ed on ten sheets of yellow silk, neatly tied together and was thus sent to all the highest officials in the Chinese En- pire.
