work and makes good at it Ill take

Yet Lucy knew that he secretly de-
voured the newspapers, searching for
his sons name. He was secretly proud
Of him. Lucy had an idea.
Father" she said coaxingly-she
called him that nowadays-''he is to
conduct at a performance in Boston
next Friday. Now you know you have
been promising to take me into Bos-
ton. Let US go and hear him."
What do l want to hear him for?"
growled the farmer. "Hain't heard
him times and again stunning on
that old piano? I've had enough Of
hearing him. my lass"
However, by dint Of coaxing. Lucy
inveigled him to Boston, and thence to
the opera house, where. upon dozen
billboards. as large az life, were the
words Henry Milton, beneath q flesh

man.
Lucy felt herself trembling. She
knew that he had long ago forgotten
her; she had nerved herself to accom-.
pany the old man only out Of sense
Of duty, In the hope of effecting
| reconciliation; II she saw Henry she
meant to show him her Indifference.
| But when the farmer saw his son
, conducting in the orchestra, a strange
, look came over his face. And Lucy,
watching him, knew that the past was
! forgotten in the JOY at finding his boy.
The old mans stupefaction increased
as, seated all through the bewildering
medley of sounds, he saw Henry wav.
ing his baton and his hand, sometimes
in alienation and sometimes together.
"Well, I'm swinged!" he exclaimed.
He turned to his neighbor.
"How much do you reckon that there
young fellow Milton makes q night out
Of this?"

answered the other.
The farmer gaped at him ard sr'
sided into his seat.

"They don't understand. But know

The end Of 1t all was that Henry
Milton packed his grip one morning
and took his departure for the me-

all Middleboro ringing in his ears. But
there was sweeter music than that,
sweeter even than the melodies which

That was the universal agreement.
Old man Milton had had the misfor-

The stubborn old man mourned for the
young fellow secretly. but he set his
face as hard as flint in public.

MORE OPPORTUNITIES IN
 MINING THAN EVER BEFORE

There has been altogether too much said, and altogether too much paper wasted of late by the professional" yellow-legged, sky scraper mining engineer on the Decline in Prospecting.
 There has been no decline at all; it may be true that a few of the states have been neglected for other newer or more favored fields; but on the whole, when they are all added up, it will be found that there are really more men en- gagged in looking for mineral today than there has been for years, or at least since those who now berate the honorable calling of the pros pector have been out of short pants.
 It is not that there is a short age of prospecting or of good pros poets, but on the other hand, if there Is any let-up in mining at all, 1t is due to other causes.
 One Of the causes, If we were called upon to express an opinion,
The daily Alaskan., 1914-12-08

is the lack of real mining men. Not that We are really admitting that there Is anl let-up, but there are less Of the old school of min ing, those who swore by and at the prc1pector and nIs prospect, in the business today In the old day the prospector could cash in his prospect for enough to get another grub-stake and be- away on his journey looking for another. Those were the days of TeYis-O 'Brien- Hearst-Haggip-Daly and dozens of others, the days of indiyidual min ing. Every one of them left mil lions; every cent came out of the ground. Every cent of the great Clark fortune has been made in mining, and he is about the last of the old school of great pioneers left.
 The smart man of today, backed | up by Mir. Yellowlegs referred to, wants the ore all blocked out, and cannot be induced to put his money into a prospect. That's one reason why so many good looking prospects are lying idle today.
 However, the prOspector con- tinues to do his annual assessment work, and let Us hope he will be fortunate enough to uncover suf- ficient good quartz in this work tha the expert will be able to discern the ear-marks of an ore deposit so that he will be enabled to know that it is a mineral claim at least worthy of development into a mine,
 We have but little patience with the city mining engineer who de Iries the decline in prospecting or the industry. Our advice to him would be to get out into the field and knock his knuckles against the rock, and with his superior knowl- edge of formation and ore deposi- tiOn, where mineral is and where it is not, or where he thinks it ought to be, it should be an easy matter for him to uncover the hidden wealth, as well as become independ- ent as nearly every one of the old timers did in the early days.
 Let him secure a grub stake as do the prospectors; this ought to be ar easy matter; certainly there are people who have confidence in his integrity or ability to stake him for months or a year?
 With 20 to 100 of such men in the field, certainly something could be accomplished by them.

GOOD NEWS

Good nows travels fast" and the bad back sufferers in this vicinity are glad to learn where re- lief may be fOcnd. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Deans Kidney Pills. Thousands upon thousands Of people are telling the good news of their experience with this tested remedy. Here is an example worth reading.
 F. H. Wieland, 1902 E. 4lst St, Los Angeles, Cal, says: For a long time I suffered from pain in the small of my back and could scarcely get around. My kidneys were disordered and the kidney se- cretions were highly colored and irregular in passage.

OUT OF ITS GLASS

Possibly Portugal will yet re- main aloof from the war which Its government announces the readiness Of tho little republic to enter. It may be that Great Britain will not ask Or advise such action by so small and weak a state.
 It is more probable, however, that the Portuguese republic will make the eleventh nation 10 take part in the war-ths eighth ar rayed against Germany, Austria Hungary and Turkey. A few thou sand Portuguese soldiers may be sent to France 10 add to the re markable variety of troops already engaged there. If not. they will probably be ordered to Africa to assist in the conquest of German East Africa, which adioius the Portuguese colony of Mozambique On the north, and German south west Africa, which is bOrdered on the north by the Portuguese col ony of Angola.
 One sure result oi the partici- patton of Portugal in the war will be the capture by the allies of many German merchant vessels, which have been sheltered since hostilities began in Lisbon and other Portuguese harborS. There are enough of them to make a rich prize list for Portugal if they are seized where they lie, Or for Great Britain and France, chiefly if they should be allowed to go to sea and run their chances there.
 It will all be small business for so vast a struggle in the war now raging Tn many fields and count ing is victims by millions. Por- tugal has no natural place Or part in such a conflict. The country Is too weak. It's resources are too small. It's debts are too heavy. IL ought not to be involved in a war of giants which has nothing to do with the real interests or rights of the Portuguese people,
 Portugal has an area or about 35.4OO square miles-one-eighth less than that Of Ohio. Its pop ulation is S,O0O,0OO in round rig ures-2O per cent more than that Of this state. The national debt Is more than SSOO,OOO,O 900, or al least ten times as much as OhiO's share of the national debt Of the United States, with the debt of the state added. And Portugal is a country Of poor people, over-taxed and ill-governed.
 Even if Portugal should be able to take as small a part in the war as its rulers may think best and keep out of all the heavier work Of the immense conflict, there will be increased debts, worse internal conditions and losses which the Portuguese people ought not to be asked to bear To many Observers, the probable action of Portugal may seem a farce. but it is much more a tragedy for country un- fortunate in many ways--Cleveland Leader.

THE CAUCUS THE PLACE.

Preliminary to the exercising of the rights of an eieetor there is nothing more important than the participa- tion in tine primary for the selection of candidates who through their rec ords in public or private life will in- spire the confidence and support, not only of the party, but of the entire electorate What is desired in the conduct of every city government is the best business administration which can be obtained and to get it the men who are best qualified to give it should be placed before the citizens. The aim cannot be too high when it comes to picking men for public service for it is through such selections that an in valuable contribution is made to the ca1lse of good government, that a strong appeal is made to the whole list of voters and that an interest is created which will minimize the in- clination to stay away from the polls.
 With such a purpose in view there should be a large gathering of repub lfcans this week for the nomination of a city ticket. The time is ripe for a republican victory and nothing will give greater assurance of such a re- suit than the placing before the people of candidates who can be depended upon to give the city the best pos sible administration with strict regard for economy and efficiency. With men of such type named to direct the mu- nicipal affairs they cannot fail to get recognition, and 1t is to be remembered that it is such which is bound to re- place dissension with unity. The best men are not only the ones to get out the vote. but they are the ones the city needs. and the place to start the proper action to get them is at the caucus,

THEN-a -and-NOW

Today, after more than a century under the rule of Parliament at London, it is proposed to restore the Irish Parliament taken away in 1901, and to give Ireland home rule. The country is split in two over the proposition. The province of Uls- ter at the north declares against the proposal, while the balance of Ireland demands it. The House of Commons has twice passed the bill and the third passing, when the bill become law, is near. More than 100000 men of Ulster stand in de- fiance against the proposed govern ment. They are organized into citizen army with some of Great Britain's greatest soldiers as their leaders. They are drilling and learning to shoot straight. Muni- tions of war are being gathered. A fund of s5,000,0o0 is being raised for the support of the dependent relatives of the volunteers who may be wounded or killed in the fight ing" The leaders of the govern ment are striving to avert civil war by concihatory measures. More than 25,000 British troops are as- sembled today in the government barracks in Ulster to put down any uprising.

STORING THE FURS.

Furs should not see the light of April-if they are valuable enough to care about at all. and it is a wise woman who attends to the putting really warm days approach.
 Most city folks now send their hand some furS to cold storage for the sum- ner months. The slight fee charsed is inconsiderable beside the comfort of knowing that ones furS are safe and may be dismissed from the mind until they are needed again in the autumn. The low temperature of the cold storage rooms also gives the furs a rich, silky luster and makes each separate hair stand out as 1t does on the animaHfor of course, fur bearing animals come from cold countries, and the 20 below zero temperature Of cold storage is a deal better for your seal skin coat, madame, than the stif1fng go in the shade of the cedar chest, In the home attic.
 But moths, not summer heat, are the most dangerous enemy of furs, and the surest preventive against ruin by moths is to get the furs put away before the moth eggs have been laid. The moment you see a moth fitting about be sure that eggs have already been laid somewhere-perhaps only in that old winter blanket folded under the cover of the divan; but equally, perhaps, in your $500 set of pointed fox which you have not had time to put away. If moth eggs are discovered in the furs don't take any chances; carry them to a reliable furrier to be treated and cared for. If you are sure there are no moths in them hang them in the air for whole day. brush them thoroughly and then wrap in news papers before slipping into the cedar chest or moth bags. Moths deteSt newspaper and if well wrapped and scaled ordinary newspapers are as cfficacious as camphor balls in keep ing out the pest.
 If fur looks dull and matted ard has lost it's gloss and fiuffiness, sprinkle it well with powdered starch and leave, covered with newspapers, for twenty four houfsy Then shake out the starch and the fur will be light and fluffy, as your own hair is when treated 10 dry shampoo of oris root and tal- cum.

REITER USE FOR MONEY.

Just at this time when efforts are be- ing directed towards rendering value less the childrens bureau and the mir gratory lird~law through a denial Of appropriations under the plea of econ omy after the need and worth Of this branch of the government and the fed eraI law have been established a mag nificent opportunity to turn such scru- pIes to the overcoming of waste is re- veaIed in the report of the house com- mittee on printing in congress. By that report it is shown that there are at the present time in the government storel1ouse one thousand tons of use less documents while there are six million uncalIed for volumes in the past six years.
 This means that there is huge waste of time, thought and money in producing something which is not re- quired and which is valueless. It is not surprising under this disclosure that it is also claimed that a saving of $S50,000 a year could be effected by a curtailment of this waste. There are so many other good uses to which that money could be put and accomplish so much for the benefit of humanity in general that it should be unneces- sary to point them out. This furnish es much additional information as to the waste in government printing in support of the claim that the abolish ment of the leave to print in the Congressional Record would effect a saving of $100,000 a year and at once make available funds for many good causes The contention that the gov ernment could do much better in the distribution of it's appropriations under a budget system is thus given valuable support, and congress some thing worth while to think seriously about
