saY WORKER MISSES MJyn
Many College Presidents Averse to
Students Being Employed While
Obtaining an Education.

Becky Sharp was the first society
woman on nothing year. She made
the phrase famous and the fact infa-
nous. But there are circumstances
under which nothing year can be a
blessing.
The secretary of the Christian asso-
citation at the University of Pennsyl-
vania announces that over 300 Penn
sylvania men are already supplied
with work to help them through their
college year. In other colleges, per-
haps in every college, men are being
SO aided to get their education. And
surprising number of these men
have literally nothing a year besides
the income from their work.
There will always be serious doubt
in the mind Of college men whether
working ones way through college
really pays in the end, the Philadel-
phia Evening Ledger says. College
presidents have frequently been quot
ed as advising students to borrow
while they are at college so that their
minds and their time may be free for
their college work and pleasures. The
two together make up a college life.
A book education without social edu-
cation is hardly worth having.
The college man who works his way
through misses much, to be sure, in
social contact in the graces of inter
course with other men. His college is
chiefly place for lectures and
exams" The larger education he
gets, in pursuit Of his tuition fees and
room rent, is hardly of the polished
and suave kind which college should
bring. 1t differs not at all from what
he will meet later on.
College as a preparation for living
ought to be broader than any one life.
AS foundation for character it ought
to be broader than any career. That
is why the man who works his way
through really loses-because he iden-
titles college with life too soon.
Gilpin observer., 1915-12-23
THE VALUE OF PUBLICITY

For many years it has been known
that the Oatman district contained
gold, good gold ore in large quanti-
ties to make paying mines, and with
large mineralized lodges throughout
the whole district, says the Oatman
Magazine For many years two Of
the mines, the Tom Reed and the
Gold Road, consistently developed,
milled, mined and paid profit, but
the development of this district as
a whole did net follow in the foot
steps Of these producers.
1t was well known that the Tom
Reed was big profit maker; in 1914
the dividends Of this mine alone
amounted to over s627 900, or 50 per
cent of it's issued capital. and in six
years time the Tom Reed has pro-
duced over S4,000,000 and paid in div
idends almost $4,000 900. 1t was
known that it was producing $780,
900 per month from 1000 tons of ore,
with but 20 stamps and a working
force of about $50 men. 1t was
known that its ore bodies were wide
and long and tfat this ore was free
milling and cyaniding. but the knowl-
edge of these facts did not mean the
development of the district, in spite
OF the fact that there are many ledg-
es existing under similar conditions
in the district.
Suddenly the idea of publicity was
conceived, to tell tie world of the
Oatman district, and in one year,
with the world having some knowl-
edge of what the Oatman district
has done, more development has been
done, more mines have been found,
more properties have changed hands,
and more men have been put TO
work than would have taken place in
several decades in the ordinary
course Of events.

METHODIST CHURCH NOTES.

The grippe is passing save for some
cases of relapse. Truly it wes no
respec.or CT persons. We are hop
, ing it will not furnish an excuse for
those peculiar cases of Sunday sick
ness tLat come on, late Saturday
night. but are invariably cured early
Monday morning.
The Rev. Mil,ar, who was obliged
to discontinue tie revival meetings
on account CT illness, is now improv-
ing. and beginning to resume his pas
toral duties at La Sale. We cordial
ly invite every one TO come to church
and hear the splendid rendition of
pipe organ themes by Miss Anderson.
that next Sabtath's class meeting
will be CT unusual interest to all
who attend. Help fill the room up.
The Sunday school will give a
Christmas progl am Friday evening at
7:30. The children will furnish a
large part of the entertainment. Ev-
cry one will be welcome. Santa
Claus has arranged his schedule so
as to give us few minutes Of his
precious time.

pie to hold down chairs in the prayer
meetings each Thursday at 1880 p.

The pastor desires to announce to
any and all who contemplate the as
sistance cf one WHO is qualified of
ficially to tie knots, that near half
hundred such matrimonial knots
fastened by him are still firmly hold
ing. in spite of slippery laws, Cur
terms are reasonable. For a poor
wife we only collect $3.50, for a good
$1O.00.
We have some hopes of enjoying
visit from Gov. Carlson in the near
future.

WRONG IDEA ABOUT WORDS
Writer Claims Old Impression That
They Express Thought Is Sim
ply De,usion.

Our molders of opinion-our preach
ers and politicians and editors and
publishers-are not speaking in order
SO much to convince US as to make us
act or vote or feel with them. Their
words are chains of phrases, strung
together almost undesignedly, with
view of pulling us to the cause OF
party or idea they are supporting.
1t is a curious delusion that words
express thought, the New Republic re
marks. The object of most words is
to short-circuit thought Phrases like
democracy, liberty, militarism, the
principles of justice and humanity, are
not primary meanings at all. They
are epithets hurled at us to arouse
some desired resentment, or they are
spotlights guaranteed to create GER
.ain warm emotional glows of assent
in the mind which receives them. 1t
is the reaction they touch off that
makes them significant, not their
meaning. Words are such deadly
things not because they nean some
thing, but because they get wrapped
up with our emotion and pull it
up with them when they are seized.
In support of the articulate emotion
there may be any number of highly
rational arguments which have come
first. 1t is the antagonism or the glow
of approval, while the evidence has
grown almost vegetatively around the
emotion.

He Knew Their Weakness.

During the reign of Louis XIV of
France the light chaise came into fash.
ion, and great ladies of Paris were ac'
customed to drive in them about the
city. But beautiful hands are not al
ways strong ones; accidents began to
occur more and more frequently in the
streets. Consequently, says Das Buch
fuer ALE, the king besought the min.
lister of police to do something. since
the lives of pedestrians were constant
ly in danger.
Il will do whatever is in my power"
replied the police minister "Your
majesty desires that these accidents
cease entirely?"
The king replied. Certainly"
The next day there appeared a royal
ordinance that ordered that, in the fu-
ture. ladies under thirty years of age
should not drive chaises through the
streets of Paris. That seems a mild
restriction: but it is said that scarcely
a woman from that time on drove her
own chaise. The police minister knew
that few women would care to adver-
tise the fact that they were over thirty
and that the rest would probably be
too old to drive, anyway.
