Prosp .rlty of the Mines

The mining revival that has been
So pronounced in the ives. during
the past year shows no signs of
abatement, saws the Mining Record
On the contrary. the. growth in ore
production aud in the number of
mines operating has showed steady
increase with the passing Of the
mouths. IL no longer Is difficult To
6nd bidders for promising claims
and prospects. Where formerly the
holders OF such properties bad to
hunt and advertise for buyers, now.
adays it is the prospective purchaser
who is looking for the owner. This
activity is not confined to any one
district, but prevails throughout the
West. Very evidently it is sign
that the present prosperity will con-
tinue its onward march; that vast
area Of mineral. territory will be
thoroughly prospected and many
new mines added to the already long
list OF wealth producers.
Gradual but noteworthy develop
ment in mining, such as has been u
feature OF the current year, denotes
hat the industry is being built up
along business lines, and on a strong
foundation. Its revival is genuine
not ~ mere transient squirt brought
ABOUT by unusual conditions
This state of affairs is bound to
make money more plentiful in the
West and stimulate the establish.
ment OF many new enterprises In
fact, numerous benefits already are
apparent in the recent financing OF
various western projects

Mrs. Graham accompanied her hus-
band to the scene of activity. and just
before the outbreak Of the Revolution
airy War in this country her husband
was transferred to Antigua. Thither
Mrs. Graham followed her husband
again and in that lonely country. far
from friends. she was soon left
widowed with three baby daughters.
AS soon as possible Mrs. Graham
returned to her father in Scotland but
instead OF receiving any financial as
sistance from him she found that he
had had reverses and was in need of
he help. Accordingly Mrs. Gra-
ham opened a school for girls in Edin-
burg. From the first Mrs. Graham
made a rule to give one-tenth of her
earnings to the poor, even when she
was in need herself. In Edinburg she
started a young peoples savings or
ganization and society for the re-
lief of the destitute sick.
In 1853 Mrs. Graham came to this
country with her daughters where she
opened a boarding school in New York
City that proved to be decided hnan-
cial success, and in New York she
turned her attention as she had in
Scotland, to works of philanthropy
and charity. In 1898 she was able to
retire and gave her undivided atten-
ton to charity and society. In 1896
she had founded the Society for tho
Relief of Poor Widows and Children
in New York and in 1914 a few months
before her death she founded the So
ciety for the Promotion of Industry
Among the Poor.

HER DOMESTIC TYRANT.
By CARL JENKINS.

Some folks wondered at the marriage
between stephen Roberts and Clara
Colby. and others admitted that 1t might
be good thing Some folks wondered
because Stephen was an old bachelor and
set in his ways. while the young lady
was known to be rather Eighty and fiirty.
Some approved. because they thought an
old bachelor was just the husband to
make a frivolous wife settle down.
There was one thing Miss Clara
Dragged OF as a girl. and that was that
nobody could manage her. Whatever
she wanted to do she would do. Her
marriage wasn't going to make bit of
difference about that She said so to
Stephen. His answer is not recorded.
but whatever it was he probably did
me thinking, and perhaps he made W
his mind to pursue a certain policy.
It was weeks after the wedding before
there was a clash. The husband made a
suggestion now and then. instead of COM
manding or nagging. While they were
only suggestions. the young wife found
herself following them without opposi-
ton. and this pleasant state Of affairs
might have continued but for an even
more frivolous wife who dropped in one
afternoon to say:
CLARA Roberts. do you know that all
the folks are talking about the way
you've been BUNDLED since your mar
riage?"
WHAT humbled!" was the exclama-
ton
Yes. Everybody notices it. You used
to have a mind of your own. but now
you are as humble as a cat We all say
it's shame for your husband to lay
the law down to you as he does"
But he doesn't He has never tried to
boss me one single time"
You used to be out every afternoon"
He just thought 1t was little too
much"
You haven't been to the club in four
weeks"
stephen said he'd rather stay home"
You didn't ride out all last week.
But We haven't a carriage of our
own. you know. and the hired ones are
very expensive"
Just so. Everybody said Stephen Rob-
erts would put an end to your extrava-
gances. Oh. he's bossing you. all right"
When the visitor had departed Mrs
Roberts sat down and reviewed the sit
uation. Was her husband bossing her
Was he humbling ner to the dust? Was
he insidiously curtailins her privileges?
No! Yes. Come to think of IT. he was
actually playing the domestic tyrant and
wearing a mask while doing it Other
