Christian mothers you build even better than you know. As man passed down the street his atten- tion was turned to the erection of d fine building. He stopped to see the stones put in place by a huge derrick, and interested. continued on to find the source of the lifting power. In the basement he saw an old, blind horse going round and round as the building grew higher and higher How he longed to tell that faithful animal of the work he was doing Of the congregations that would gather there; of the children that would be baptised a gift to God of the couples that would plight their troth; of the old folks that would sit in the pews on the Sabbath; of the collins car ried in and out; of the happy chill dren that would be taught the Wonderful Words of Life.

 Now that my visit is ended must take back some token of re- membrance' He looked at the beau tful flowers in the garden and said: How lovely and fragrant" and pluckinS the rarest rose, made a bouquet, thinking he had seen nothing so beautiful and fragrant as these flowers. Hearing the laughter of a baby he looked up and saw a bright-eyed, rosy checked child, and said: T will take that laughter; it is more beautiful than the flowers" Then looking on he saw the love of mother pouring over the cradle like gushing spring, he said; "l believe that is more beautiful than either, l will take that too.' And with these treasures the angel winged his flight to the pearly gates. As he neared the gates he examined the treasures he had brought. He looked at the flower, it had wither- ed. He looked at the baby's smile and it had faded He looked at the mothers love and it shone in all it's loveliness. Then he threw away the withered flower and cast aside the faded smile and with the love of mother in his bosom entered the celestial gates shouting tn the only thing he had found that would retain its fragrance from earth to heaven is mothers love. Take the child and raise it for me and l will give thee thy wages.'

CT who pitches 50 games or part games of baseball in one season Is looked upon as wonder, and Is called everything from an iron man al that. the hurler who gets in 30 games is a very rare bird. Back in the eighties 50 games per sea son was considered a comfortable amount of work for the average hurler, but when it comes to win ing 50 full games of big league baseball in one season. then the hurler is touching the miraculous. Baseball history gives the names of several big league pitchers that have accomplished this wonderful feat
 The pitcher who holds the record in games won in a single season is the famous A. G. Spalding. the greatest hurler in Lis day. and the many records he created stand up to the present time as the best Of course. Mir. Spalding's work was pulled off under different conditions than exist today But. even at that, his pitching was wonderful. It was in 1875 that A. G. Spaldng made his great record in games won During that season he pitched 63 full games and won 56 of them, a percentage of .SS9. the highest av- craze in games won in the history of the game.
 During the season of 1884 Charles Radbourne, for Providence, then in the National league pitched 7l games of baseball and winning 57 of them. This is the greatest mum Der of games won in a single sea on in the history of major league baseball.
 Guy Hecker, another famous hur- Ter Of tte old school, and the star of the Louisville club back in 1884, pitched T regulation games that season and won an even 50 of them. Hecker performed in wonderful manner that year; he whiffed IT men in a regular nine-inning contest, and he lost it at that He also had winning streak wherein he won 13 consecutive victories. And during the time Hecker was swatting the ball at a clip better than 300, for the big star was real batsman. How much would hurler of Heck el dplllIy DlIHS OH lHe market today?
 John G. Clarkson, the first s10.OO0 beauty the game ever had, and if there were another such pitcher on the baseball horizon today, one who had the ability of a Clarkson. he would bring $100,000. In his first full seasons work for good old Cap Anson, which was in 1885, Clarkson won g games of real fight ing baseball John G. pitched 69 games that season and only lost 16, one being tie. Clarkson put a nick in the record of all other hurlers in this respect by repeating the wonderful stunt of winning 50 games, or over, in one season. Aft CT the great Clarkson was sold to the Boston Nationals he proceeded 10 show the owners they made no mistake in paying S10,000 for the use of his pitching arm and the brains to guide it. In the next season following the sale. which was 1889, Cla1kson pitched 72 regu- lation games of ball for Boston and was victor in 51 of them, losing IT and four were a tie.

 An important fact about the strike too i sthis: it will encourage men who have hitherto failed to do SO, to pan all the way down. It has been the custom with many, and many old time prospectors at that, to sink right through to bedrock without banning, and in this way fl is possible many higher paystreaks have been overlooked. This view was plainly remarked by an old timer who has watched mining in this district for many years.

 With the fine start of the Eastern racing season, lover of inc sport can be pardoned for their optimism as it bids fair to be the most successful season since the sport was revived in 1913, after q lapse of three years.

 Good Showing Made
 CORDOVA.-Returns from two shipments of copper ore from the mines of the Mother Lode Copper Mines company, near Kennecott, made this year, have been made avail able, and demonstrate that this is one of the richest properties in the north. Wren it is taken into con sideration that the ore has to be hauled on sleds distance of twelve miles to the railroad, and this dur ing the winter months only, the showing is remarkable.
 On Jan. 21 a shipment of 275,135 pounds of ore was made on the steamer Mariposa, the shelter re- turns of which gave 1445 ounces Of silver per ton and 1892 per cent of copper the total return from the shipment being $12.269.
 A second shipment was made on the steamer Mariposa February g., of 4l8,739 pounds of ore which aver aged 11.45 ounces of silver per ton ard 4264 per cent of copper. The net returns from this shipment were S16 ,40490. or total for the two shipments of $2S,673.90.
 Shipments during the year, from March 4, 1914 including the two shipments above, amounted to 1901,- 277 pounds, which produced 934170 pounds of copper and 14,O16 ounces of silver, or an average of 1913 per cent of copper, and 1474 ounces of | silver per ton. The net returns from the smelter aggregated s91,- 19145.
 Since the above other shipments of ore have been made, the last going south on the Mariposa a few days ago.
