The disseminated-lead mining In
dustry in southeast Missouri yields
from $40, 100000 to $12.000.000 annual
ly. says the Engineering and Mining
Journal. Unless the boundaries of
this field are extended beyond the
present known limits, this great In
dustry will become extinct within q
generation. The immediate hopeful
extension is to the northwest in.o
Washington county. In this country,
while great tonnage Of lead has been
produced, the character and condition
Of the lead is SO distinct from the dis
semina.ed ores Of ST. Francois county
that no guiding analogy can be drawn.
The productive Bonneterre limestonss
OF st. Francois county pass under the
Potosi in Washington county and are
deeply buried.
The question on which turns tle
future of the disseminated-lead mining
is whether or not, under the cover OF
the Davis shales and the heavy beds
of the Potosi in Washington county.

When All is Done.


The sun comes up and the sun goes
down,
And the day and night are the
same as one;
The year grows green and the year
grows brown.
And what is /. all, when all Is done?
Grains OF somber or shining sand,
Sliding into and out Of the hand.
And men go down in ships to the seas.
And hundred ships are same as
one;
And backward and forward blows the
breeze,
And what is it all, when all IL done?
A tide with never shore in sight.
Setting steadily on 20 the night.
The fisherman droppeth his ne. in the
stream,
And hundred streams are the
same as one;
And a maiden dreameth her love-lit
dream,
And what is it all, when all is done?
The net Of the fisher the burden
breaks.
And from her dreaming the dreamer
wakes.

GODS CARPET.

GODS CARPET.
No Persian's fingers threaded thro'
These meshes intricate,
Under a sky of rainless blue,
Weaving work of fate.
On Bagdad's weary journey ne'er
Were borne such precious garbs
! AS grace the Maytime OF the year
In alleys green and yards.
He who is ever kind to man
A carpet cast did lay
To please his feet where'er they ran,
And where his child might play.
OF mingling shoots of tender grass
Its tissues soft are msde,
To cover prairies OF the pass
That leads to mountain glade.
Within this downy blanket lie
The fragile nests OF birds
Homes that are hidden, wee and shy,
Where tramp the browsing herds.
And here the infant world let loose
In joyous freedom thrills
Saxon and black, and red papoose,
On sloping banks and hills.
The carpet Of the ronping heart,
The banquet of the beast,
The rug that lures from street and
mart
When traffic's din has ceased.
Unto the vasrant gives bed,
The beggar lends cot,
With starry ceiling overhead
And the hard world forgot
| And when this little game of life
Is ended, poor and proud.
| Alike all free of mirth and strife
This carpet is their shroud.

80 per cent on the average.
We doubt very much II they are
doing better than 40 per cent Of nom

SAMMY JAY FINDS FARMER

To judge another person; so

Sammy Jay is very much inclined
not to wait Sammy is naturally sus-
picious. You will find that people
who do mean things themselves al
ways suspect that everybody else is
Just watching for chance to do mean
things. 1t is just that way with Sam
my Jay. Sammy steals every chance
he gets. He just can't seem to help it.
That is why Old Mother Nature has
made him scream "Thief, thief" so
that every one else will know that he
steals and be on the watch when he is
about. Sammy seems to find a great
deal Of pleasure in suspecting his
neighbors. Worse still, Sammy doesn't
wait to find cut if his suspicious are
likely to come "true.
Take the case of Farmer Browns
boy. Sammy was a long time in learn
ing to believe anything good OF
Farmer Browns boy. Perhaps he was
not wholly to blame for that. You
see, Farmer Browns boy did make a
great ueal or trouble for the little
people OF the Green Meadows and the
little folks of the Green Forest for a
long time. He hunted them with his
terrible gun and he sets traps for
them. That was before he learned
to know them and to love them. When
he did have change of heart Sam
my wouldn't believe it. No, sir, Sam
my wouldn't believe it at all at first

eyes Farmer Browns boy take up the
traps he had set for Old Man Coyote

!ADENo1Ds..

Adenoids are enlarged masses of
Lymphoid tissue in the vault of the
pharynX. They may become large
enough to obstruct nasal respiration
or cause disturbances in the ears by
pressure. The symptoms caused by the
present adenoids are familiar to most
people:-mouth breathing, pinched
expression of the face, contracted
chest and mental dulness
The cause of adenoids is held by all
authors to be hereditary. Adenoids
occur in q characteristic type of indi-
vidual Their presence in those whose
state shows predisposltion to tuber-
culosis la marked.
The usual treatment for adenoids is
the removal of the mass, but when we
consider that they are due to heredi-
ty, we realize the incompleteness of
such treatment Although it removes
the conditions due to the presence of
the adenoids, 1t does not remove the
state that made it possible for the
adenoids to develop.
The removal of the underlying
cause of adeno!ds - is accomplished
