BIG GOLD RUSH AT
 OATMAN CONTINUES

That the big gold rush at Oatman is continuing with unabated activity is the report of Tax Commissioners Howe and Campbell, who have just returned after a trip through the northern part of the state.
 Its real rush and no mistake, said Commissioner Campbell yester- day, and d whole city of tents has sprung up at Oatman. The town is full of people and it is almost inn possible to get hotel accommodations or even a cot to sleep on, unless one makes reservation in advance : number of Los Angeles real estate men have secured land in the vicini- ty, and there are two or three boom ing townsites in the making
 Influx is no name for it., said Chairman Howe in discussing the rush of men into Mohave county. "Of course all these men are not working in the mines, but large amount of development work in smaller properties will be carried out which would probably not be done except under some such enthusiasm as now pervades the district The big strike on the United Eastern pro- perty is near the town of Oatman, and work there, as well as in the Goldroads and Tom Reed mines is the center of interest"
 Acting on the recommendation of the board of supervisors and the county assessor. the commissioners installed the Somers system of valu- ation in the town of Kingman.
 Dam Looked All Right
 While in the north Commissioners Howe and Campbell visited St. Johns and inspected the Lyman dam which broke few days later, causing the loss of eight lives and a half million dollars worth of property.
 There was not the slightest iEdi- cation that here was anything wrong with the dam when We were there." sad Chairman Howe. Water W; s seeping out at the base of the noun tain. but the dam itself, when we walked across, was perfectly dry. The water was then about ten CT twelve feet from the top"

EXAMPLE SET BY TEACHER
ResponsbiIity of Those IN Charge Of
the Youth of the Country Is
a Great one.

Few teachers realize the extent to
which theil students, whether in the
primary grades or the university, are
following their examples. It is re-
lated of William r. Harper, well-re-
membered president of Chicago uni.
versity, that he was brought to real
ization of his responsibility IN the
following manner:
When he was afflicted with cancer
and knew that there was nothing be-
fore him but a hopeless, lingering
illness, he decided that the best thing
to do was to take things into his own
hands and end it all. He confided his
decision to a friend of his, man who
had a broader vision on this point
than the great president himself He
referred President Harper to the
many students who had been under
his influence and said, Among all
these thousands many will face a
crisis similar to the one which you
face now. Many will reach the deci'
sion which you have reached, tor they
will think, 1T Is all right; Prexy did
it," Doctor Harper saw his respon.
sibility at once and said. "1'll stick
it out" What great thing 1t would
be if all teachers were willing to bear
as much as this, in order that their
lives might be better examples for
those who may come under their in
tiuence.

Reason and Caprice.

Edmund Burke says: Taking the
whole view of life, 1t Is more safe to
live under the jurisdiction of severe
but steady reason than under the
empire Of indulgent but capricious
passion" Such wisdom should be
proclaimed these days for the practice
Is decidedly against it. Men are not
inclined to conduct their lives in ac-
cordanee with Severe but steady
reason" but under the influence or
the very opposite passion. And the
times und customs seem to prepare
men for "indulgent but capricious
lives In fact, inventive genius Is
largely employed in preparing mo-
tives and attractions toward these
capricious lives. If there is a lee
ture or prayer meeting appointed for
a certain night and a banquet or a
dance for the same time, the stream
of attendance is toward the latter
Between the church service and the
automobile ride the latter is chosen
too often among people Of religious
tendencies 1t is the rule of this
choice that makes necessary so many
social reforms. 1t is the difference
between the steady reason and the
capricious passion. as Burke points
out.-Ohio State Journal.

PROVERBS THAT ARE VICIOUS
There 10 Usually Trouble for Some
body When One Of These 10
Quoted.

There are some proverbs that are
used only to bolster unworthy thoughts
or words or actions. Here is one or
them: Charity begins at home. or
course it does, but no one says that
to himself, or says it out loud, who
does not wish to excuse some mean
and parsimonious action, the Chris
tian Endeavor World states, Every
really generous man will Of course be-
gin his charities at home; but he will
never think of mentioning the fact as
a reason for not giving and doing all
that he can for people and causes out,
side his home.
Business Is business. To be sure 1t
Is, but no one deems II necessary to
state that fact unless he Is doing or
intends to do some hard, cold and un-
feeling thing When a cruel landlord
intends to turn a widow and her fam
lily into the street, he is very likely
to remark as he proceeds to do 1t,
business is business" If a promoter
seeks to work off some worthless
stocks on an unsuspecting victim, he
is likely to remark that business Is
business and that every one must
look out for himself" II a money
shark forecloses on poor man who
cannot pay an exorbitant interest, he
is sure to tell you with much solem-
nifty that, though 1t is hard, yet "busi-
ness Is business
We must play the game. This
though sometimes used in a good
sense, often means in business par
lance that we must be as mean and
sharp and untrustworthy as other bad
men. They are playing the game;
and, II we would not lose, we must
play 1t, too. They have no conscience
in financial transactions; SO we must
smother ours. They bow down to the
money god; so must we, or we shall
get left in the dollar race.

Potatoes and RuttermiIk.

An Irshwoman well expressed, the
other day, the value of the national
diet of potatoes and buttermilk. When
| was young" she said, I'VE never
heard of consumption. The people
were content with potatoes and butter
milk. Now they must have meat and
tea. They are healthy enough as chill
dren, but few grow up strong. They
become consumptive as they grow.
They cannot afford good meat. or
enough of it, and they will not eat the
potatoes and milk that would cost
them little and keep them strong" Po-
tatoes are more nourishing If boiled
or baked in their skins. The Irish
know this; and, passing the open doors
of cottages today, one may still some
times see the brown, smoking balls
turned out of the big pot onto the
clothless table, round which the family
Is sitting.

ThePadrone's S
Girl
By Eugene Ronald Briggs
1916. by w. G. Chapman.)

Copyright. 1916. by w. G. Chapman.)
A narrow street in a wretched tene.
ment quarter, hand organ lying on
the ground, frightened chattering
monkey beside it, and the apparent
owner of the instrument, fierce-visaged
and brutal, hammering a shrinking
young girl about sixteen with his
fists.
Instantly a casual passer-by, we'll
dressed young man, became an active
participator in the scene. He was
athletic as we'll as handsome. one
spring, then a reaching out of force
full hand and he had wrenched the
girl free from the grasp Of her inhu-
man prosecutor That sinewy arm
shot out once again. With a shrek
ing imprecation in Italian the girls
assailant went dashing back across
the organ, the monkey springing to
one side with a curdling squeal OF
fright.
"Oh. he will kill me for this!" pal
pitated the girl.
She was poorly attired, Of stunted
growth, a typical suggestion of pad
rones slave. She glided forward to
seize the hand of Alan Pearce.
Keep him here till l can get far
away, never to return!" she gasped.
and pressed her lips in token of deep
fervent gratitude on his hand and was
away like a sprite. Pearce waited
till she had disappeared, square dis
tant. Then he cast a look OF con-
tempt upon the wretched tyrant, who
covered like a beaten dog. and went
on his way.
He told Annette Ryther, his fiancee,
of the incident that evening. In her
gentle, plying way she wondered
what would become of the poor young
street beggar. Then, amid bright
plans for the future, the theme drifted
out of their minds.
More than bright we're those dreams
Just now. Pearce held a good posi-
ton, he had saved up quite a sum
of money, and love" and home
were the words that beckoned them
to happy married life.
Pearce lived at a private boarding
house. He came down stairs from his
room one morning, whistling gayly as
