BOYS LIKE CAMP.
Report From Congomond Shows First q Day to Be Generally Enjoyed.

The first company of boys, twenty four in number, led by Secretary E. W. Yergin, reached the Y. M. C. A. camp at Congomon& on scheduled time Wednesday and since then have been enjoying camp life and sll its, fun without interruption.
 But one incident broke the smooth ness of the trip to the camp; the motorboat which transported the boys across the lake broke down when it had nearly reached the camp and floated about till someone saw them and lowed them to their destination, After reaching the camp the first swim was enjoyed, a short one, since though the water was warm the air was cool. This was followed by a bountiful dinner of roast beef, mashed potatoes, bread and butter, rice pud- ding and cocoa.
 Baseball and swimming occupied the boys in the afternoon. Towards supper time it began to rain, and con tinued to do so until morning. The tents. however, were waterproof and everyone slept well.

OWE THEIR RICHES TO LUCK
Stories of Fortunate Miners Who Have
Gathered Wealth From Supposed
ly Worthless Claims.

1t is strange how often the miner
makes a fortune out of an abandoned
or almost abandoned claim.
There was such a case at Warn
Yarra, in Australia, in May, 1903. Two
Kingston miners bought an old claim
for a song, and found it in such bad
condition that it needed timbering all
through. One wanted to give it up.
but the other suggested that they
might try their luck for a day or two.
So they took some props down and set
to work.
The first man stuck his pick into
the clay roof to make a hole for a
prop, and down fell a large stone al
most on his head. But it was not a
stone. 1t was a nugget of pure gold
weighing 11S ounces.
The richest copper mine in the
world is the United Verde, in Arizona.
1t was originally found by a couple
of ranchers, who sold it for $4,000 to
two men named Murray and Trimble.
They worked it and found little cop
per, and were absolutely at the end of
their when they struck a
pocket, not of copper, but silver ore,
which netted them a sum of $4,000.
They came to an end of the silver
and abandoned the mine as worthless.
Another man came down from Mon
tana and bought the old claim for a
few hundreds. He struck the real
vein of copper, and within ten years 1t
made him n of the richest men in
the world. In a single twelvemonth
he took out copper valued at $12,-
900, 000.
This calls to mind the even more
famous Mt. Morgan gold mine. The
first owner of the land was Donald
Gordon, who grazed his flocks above
untold and unknown riches, and sold
the land for SIS an acre to two broth
ers named Morgan.
They set to work, and the quartz
PANIED out up to 500 ounces of gold
to the ton. In 1889 $1,000, 900 was dis
tributed to the shareholders. One
shareholder left a fortune Of SILL
555, 900.
Gradually the gold quartz petered
out, and the Mt. Morgan mine was
supposed to be dead.
Then some clever mineralogist, polk
ing about the half-deserted works,
realized that there was more copper
than gold. In 1906 the mine was
reborn as a copper producer, and a
new process was discovered for ex-
tracing gold from the copper. Today
MI. Morgan is still going strong.

MAS THE old STORY
By HAROLD CARTER.

William" said the farmers wife
gently, coming up to where he sat and
placing her arm round his neck, what
are you going to do about Bessie and
her little girl?"
The old man looked up angrily.
tDo?" he repeated in a dull. mechan-
ical way, what do you suppose / am
going to do? Nothing"
"But we can't let her ~starve, dear"
"She would have let me starve," an
swered William Ives, staring into the
fire. IF there hadn't been minerals
on that piece of land l owned and
sold, Mary, where would we be now?
In the poorhouse. 1 gave my best
years to her and now-no, let her
earn her own living"
but the board won't appoint a mar
ried woman as a teacher, when she
has a child, even If her husband is
dead, William" said the anxious
mother. Wont you help herr"
NO" said her husband finally.
Everyone in Locust knew the story.
Commonplace enough, 1t was yet es-
sentially n that finds its yearly
equivalent in a thousand homes. Will
liam Ives and his wife had scraped
for years, impoverishing their scanty
resources, to put their child through
college. When she had secured an
appointment as teacher she was to
repay them by helping support them.
Five years had passed since ,Bessie's
graduation, and for a few months she
had contributed to the family income.
Then-she had given up her position
to marry a poor writer.
John Turner was eonsumptive when
she married him, and Don the dis
ease had him in its full grasp. He
took his wife and baby west and died
there. Bessie had come back to Lo'
Gust to cur a position as teacher,
But the new board had passed strin-
gent rules, born out Of the over-supply
of teachers, and under these Bessie
was un~equivocally debarred. She had
not gone home; she was staying with
an old-time friend who had taken pity
on her and the little girl and given
them temporary shelter.

her to college," muttered the OLD
man. Il amt hard. 1 meant to treat

Musical Truism.

Walter Damrosch recounted to an
orchestra leader the theme of a new
opera that he thought Of writing.
Such an opera would be beautiful"
said the orchestra leader, "but I'm
afraid it wouldn't go in New York"
why not?' the composer demanded.
Because, with that plot your first
and last acts would contain your finest
music. Well, you know the New York
er never sees the first act Of an OPP
r because he arrives too late. Meth
err does he see the last act because
he hurries out long before the curtain
goes down. So, unless you can put
all your most effective music in your
second and third acts, you won't suc-
coed in New York"

nesting confidently against his knee.
William Ives was bewildered. In
spite of his hardness and Of his reso-
luton a new tenderness was creeping
into his heart. The little creature
was singularly like his daughter, as
she had been at that age. He could
picture Bessie perfectly in his minds
eye when she was four. He used to
sit out there on the same porch, smok-
ing his pipe and listening to her child
ish prattle; but how different had
been his thoughts then! How high
his hopes had been! Bessie was hfs
f%irst-born; there had been a boy, but
he had died and all his pride had CEN
tered in the girl after his sons death.
What are you going to be when
you grow up?" the old man asked the
child. He spoke in a mechanical
way, hardly knowing what he said,
because he was fighting hard to keep
back the flood of tenderness that
brimmed over within him.
Me go to college" lisped Minnie.
Me go to mammals college!"
William Ives let his pipe fall from
his hand and his eyes became sudden
ly dim. So it was the old story all
over again, and the younger genera
tion was dreaming the same dreams
and hoping the same hopes when his
old life was broken.

and pleaded I couldn't resist her. But
what gratitude did she show me-"
Dear, it was to be expected" said
his wife. Every girl thinks of mar
riage, college or no college,"
Let her starve," answered the
farmer shortly.
But he slept little that night and
sighed next morning as he went out
to his fields.
The mother had seen the daughter.
She had visited her without telling
her husband. William Ives labored
hard under his grievance. He was
difficult to turn. The mothers heart
was bleeding, but she could do moth
ing.
IF only he could see little Minnie
he might feel differently she unused,
kissing the child.

woman's skirts.

gravely, and the farmers wife turned
her face away.

renew the discussion with her hus-
band. All the village was talking
about the situation; most blamed the
father, but a few thought he wa act
ing rightly, This was the conserva-
tive element, the older folks who were
still unreconciled to the higher educa-
ton of women.
1t was about a week after her con-
versation with her husband that Mary
Ives heard him calling angrily from
the front porch, on which he sat after
his supper, to smoke and read. She
hurried out of the house, to see the
old mar glazing at the child.
90! You speak just like a big
bear, grampa," lisped Minnie.

any such trick as that, Mary"

SWEET GLOVER A GOOD CROP
BY A. r. Evans, Assistant in Agron-
omy, College of Agriculture,
University of Missouri.

Sweet clover is a valuable crop for
feeding purposes and also for green
manure. Many people have seen the
luxuriant growth Of this plant in fence
corners and along public roads, and
have decided that on account Of It's
vigorous growth it was a troublesome
weed.
Sweet clover ranks as one Of our
best crops as a soil enricher. On &C.
count of its vigorous growth it is well
suited to the poor and eroded lands.
There are thousands of acres OF land
that are SO poor and so depleted that
they are not paying interest on their
value. This land could be greatly i'm
proved by growing some leguminous
crop like sweet clover. The value of
sweet clover in soil improvement has
been demonstrated in the south by
turning under the green crop before
a crop of cotton or tobacco.
Sweet clover is not a troublesome
weed. 1t will not become a pest in
cultivated fields, In Ohio it was found
in fields in only 1.6 per cent of the
cases cited. In Kentucky, Iowa, Ohio
and many other states it is grown ex-
tensively both for the production OF
seed and for its feeding value. 1t is
being grown quite extensively as a
hay crop and for forage. Some ami
mails do not like the hay or the green
