Snow Slide Does Consider
able Damage to Pueblo Mine.

Friday about no clock the sheds
tipple and tramway of the Pueblo
mine were almost completely destro-
yed by a snow slide which also killed
one Of their best mules and burro,
as a rule the, cars are drawn out Of
the mine by mule team but as luck
would have it one of the mules was
not used tha5 morning thereby saw
ing its life. None of the men were
harmed but if it had occurred ten
minutes earlier or later in all prob

About the same time the Bulkley
mine was visited by snow slide
but did no damage to buildings or
stock but caught the switch engine
in the yard which caused some sho-
yelling to get it out. Up to time to
go to press the Pueblo mine has
been unable to resume work, but
the Bulkley mine is again at work.

stood, there may be another view of their position.
 According to the promises which had been made the Poles had reason to expect something from both sides. Russia soon after the war opened gave them to understand that the time had come when Poland should be restored. The central powers were likewise in- clined to see Poland. to a limited ex- tent, revived if for no other purpose than a buffer state. Each side had a purpose in thus bidding for the help which the Poles could give and many have responded. Poles in this country have enthused over the pros poets of a new Poland but they have not looked with favor on the recent action because all of Poland has not been included and there has been turn ed over territory which has been con- quered and not that which was in their possession before the war. And in the final analysis of the present situation the Poles are to all ap- pearances to be called upon to defend the action which has been taken and which has not been set down as theirs according to any terms of peace. For that reason the Poles are confronted with situation which calls for much serious thought

 At the door Mamie turned. There was something in the child's eyes not unlike the look in Ladies when his mistress laid her hand upon his head. It was old Mrs. Tales who finished the story for Mamie few days later, as she carefully placed in water the flowers Janet had sent.
 Dear me, yes" she said, Janet was too pretty and sweet a girl not to have her chances, but there want no show for any of 'em after young MT. Robert came. 'Awa'n't no secret - everybody knew they was jest waitin' till he could tack M. D. after his name and hang his shingle out. recollect,' she added slowly, "the day Mis- Warren died--''
 ''But MT. Robert" interrupted Nan nie anxiously, did he die, too?" heaTa why te nG shlldnHs ars Rsles as pausea sver "Aain't that Marthy Washington the prettiest thing?" she asked.
 MT. Robert did take 1t awful hard" 1" she went on after a moment; seemed like he jest couldn't give her up, but Janet Warren want the girl to turn layin' straight before her.
 Well, after a while he went away, and now he's somewhere in the great Northwest. Old Dr. Bradford says he's come to be a big man, but I'm doubt ing he's a happy one, for he want the kind that could forget. As for Miss Janet, never YOU fear honey, she'll get her reward in the blessed hereafter"
 "Yes'm, of course" there was an anxious frown on Nannie's face, but don't you think 'twould be lots nicer if she didn't have to wait so long?"
 Suddenly she slipped from her chair and stood, eyes shining, cheeks pink with excitement.
 "Of course he'd come if. he only knew" she cried We've got to write and tell him. And" she added glee- fully, I've got the money for the stamp. I earned it killin' flies"
 And some folks call her numb said Mrs. Tales softly, as she watched her visitor disappear in the gathering twilight.
 Perhaps Dr. Robert had grown weary of his long exile and was ready to come home; perhaps the knowledge that old pr. Bradford was about to retire from an excellent practice may have had its influence, too; but I like to think that the quaint little missive which the doctor tenderiy drew from his pocket as he waited once more in the professors old library had most to do with the hastening of Janets reward.-Boston Post.

THE ALLIED OFFENSIVE

From the advance which the British and French forces were making a few weeks ago it was considered a matter of but short time before the objec- tives, Rapaume and Peronne, would be under their control. They were headed for them, by leaps and bounds, pushing the Germans back at every point where the offensive was carried on. &
 They have not slaSlSened inntheir de- termination and continue to gain ground steadily. but they are encoun- tering increased opposition from the enemy, so that their advance has been slowed up for the time being. They are feeling the effects of the read justment of conditions by the Ger mans whereby they have overcome their shortage of ammunition and guns, and they are likewise encoun- tering added opposition, along this western front from the endorsements which have been sent to that line from Verdun. It was unquestionably Germany's, purpose to give this strength to the west when they evac- uated Fort Vaux. following the suc- cessful advance which was made by the French in the Douaumont attack. The effort to take Verdun had proved great failure and instead of attempt ing to hold what was of little advan- tage and continue to waste human life and ammunition to no purpose, there was justifiable reason for bol- sterins up other weak spots and yield ing to superior forces at that point. This does not detract from the victory for the French there. but rather does it give them added prestige both there and in that offensive which is aimed at BaPaume and Peronne.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

Mytilene-"The city of Mytilene,
 where the revolutionary movement
 against Greece's non- participation in the war closely followed the outbreak in the chief towns of Crete, has been a part of the Greek nation an even shorter time than the latter cities. As the capital of the island of Lesbos (also called Mytilenel it cast off Turk ish rule at the end of the Second Bal kan War (1S13), and came once more under the sway of it's ancient mis- l tress, Athens says today's war geog- | raphy bulletin of the National Geo. graphic Society.
 Originally Mytilene is supposed to have occupied a small island off the southeastern shore of the larger is land of the same name, but as it's dou- ble harbor soon made it the most inn portant city of the Aeolians on the Asiatic coast, the population and commerce outgrew it's islet bounds,
 and overfowed to the larger territory A mole or isthmus was constructed connecting the original seaport with the main island, and today the smaller islet no longer exists as such but is
 promontory, with the shores of Asia Minor less than 20 miles to the east "The modern city is built in the
 form of an amphttheater around a hill which is crowned with the ruins of a fort dating back to the time of the GenoeSe. The population is estimated at o0,000 and the outstanding archi-
 tectural feature of the place is a Greek College which is attended by boys from the entire Aegean coast.
 ''Mytilene has written its name large on the pages of ancient history Its Golden Age preceded the era of Pericles in Athens by more than a
 hundred years. The two outstand- ing names in it's heyday of power and culture were Pittacus, the statesman andSappho, the poetess. The former,
