THE MIRROR MAIL.

We found the following interesting letter
among the Mirrors mail recently, and the entire
staff of printers modestly pass the same on for the
perusal of our many readers.
In behalf of the Mirror force and the Mirrors
everready and willing contributors, we extend our
many thanks to the writer for his kind words of
praise we'll as for his fair and impartial criticism
We hope that we can pass this on to you in such
manner, that no will misconstrue our inten-
tons, nor that any reader will infer that we are
looking for notOriety.
The letter follows:
To The MIRROR STAFF
We are all infallabe and mistakes will happen
in the first families however prudent and careful
we try to be. Personally we do not want the out
side critics to have anything on the Korner. The
Saturday Evening Post and other smaller maya
zines and papers in the past eight years received
us into their arms but that's not here nor there
and any way we didn't use the name of ''Keene"
so what's the difference. We don't pretend to
know anything about the art of writing any way
although we have studied 'Codys the art of short
story writing" etc., etc.
[ should say that [ am very much pleased in the
way you and the printing force in general are
handling my copy and you are each and every one
to be highly complimented on the excellent manner
and efficient way your paper is conducted. fright
here let me say you use good Judgment in selecting
articles especially Ella Wheeler Wilcox verse. She
is in poetry to the man within the walls what the
Little Mother is in PERSON..
l herewith acknowledge with thanks to the
erudite Stonewa for the kind expressions with
reference to the ''Korner." hardly think it was
deserving of so much fattery and praise Will
keep his historic article for future reference
Also, note We EDITORS kindly comment on the
versatile Keenes pen in his we'll gotten up and
original Mirrorettes, for which l most heartily
acknowledge with profuse thanks. Every little
bit helps, and especially boost when writing un-
der the adverse conditions we are fortunately or
unfortunately placed in. What infer is, confin-
ing oneself to limited sphere and refraining
from commenting on lively topics of the day which
must necessarily come under the ban of rigid
censorship in institution of this kind.
But good can only come from good, and if the
high standard which you have set for your clever
and concise weekly will only be maintained, why,
you should worry; and you will eventually
flourish like the proverbial bay tree and your pa
per will always be thing of beauty and JOY
forever.
With kindest regards, believe me-
Yours for cooperation all the time
KEENE.

need of great lofty skyscrapers, hotels, dwelling
houses or other places of habitation need to
mine deeply into the ground in order that
may profit by the wealth therein contained; all
these things would be useless were it not for life,
for without life everything which is would
cease to exist, because there would be intelli-
gence to comprehend the, wonders that the hands
of God and man have wrought. Life is the most
wonderful thing that God has created, and yet
how small value do we place upon that most
precious gift.
The value of life is seldom realized or appreci-
ated until the hour of death draws nigh, and then
regrets are vain. Life is of little value to one who
lives only to gain his own ends, crushing and
pushing aside the weaker mortal who stands in his
way to self-advanceInent. 1t is we'll for one to
want to prosper and succeed in life, but when that
prosperity and success is accomplished the sor-
rows and prvatiOns of others, it is success where
in there is little real merit.
1t is very true that the financial rewards to the
man who aids others may be far from satisfactory
to the money loving man, but we should always
remember that wealth is not everything. 1t can
purchase worldly goods and the good will of doubt
full friends, but it cannot buy clear conscience; a
heart that is true steel, eternal happiness;
therefore the value of life cannot be based upon
the number of dollars to ones credit in the bank,
but by the number of lives which one has helped
to brighten, and by acts which have aided some
discouraged one to arise and begin the struggle
anew
We have been given the power to choose our
own destiny, and no compel us to do any
other thing than that which we WILL to do Should
we have wandered far away from the path that
leads to eternal life should not be discouraged
for the all-wise Creator has made provision where
by we can forsake the evil and start upon the
right path whenever we are ready to leave the
road whereOn Life has no Value.

WHITE TRUCK HAS NEW
DUMPING MECHANISM

There have been many attempts
made in the last few years 20 solve
the problem OF coupling q motor truck
with an efficient dumping device. but
not until recently has the problem been
answered satisfactorily. The devices
offered heretofore have been too COM
plicatcd and easy To get out Of order,
too slow in operation. too bulky on the
truck, or were not capable OF being
elevated TO n sufficient angle 10 insure
q perfect discharge Of the load.
All OF these drawbacks have been
overcome in the White dumping trucks.
and in consequence these trucks are
meeting everywhere with enthusiastic
reception from contractors, coal COM
panies. building supply companies. etc.
These companies. by nature OF their
products, have not been able TO use
motor trucks TO the best advantage
without an efficient dumping device.
The White dumping mechanism con
ssts Of a screw and nut, placed out Of
the way horizontally along the frame
Of the truck, completely protected by

entirely controlled hy a hand lever be-
