Mrs. Cater Tends Her Egg,

FoR MANY A DAY after Miss Chame-
leon moved under the ferns where
she could better watch Mrs. Cater
and her rubbish pile full OF eggs,
there was much of interest to see.
Every day, and several times a
day, Mrs. Cater came to see that her
came alone. Miss Chameleon really
thought that il eggs were so i'm
portant as Mrs. Cater seemed to
think they were, Mr.. Cater ought to
be curious about them, too. But
Wise Mr.. Owl said not 80. Said that
Mr.. Cater was not curious about the
eggs at all. That all Mr.. Cater cared
about was to get plenty to eat and
to lie in the sun.
But, however that might be, It was
quite evident that Mrs. Cater was
very well able to look after her own
eggs. maybe Mr.. Cater knew this,
and that was the reason he was not
concernedD She must have lived
very near, for IL any danger threat
cned. II any large creature ventured
near enough to step on the rubbish
pile or to endanger 1t, Mrs. Cater was

away.
"She ought to be rewarded with q
fine big family" said Miss Chame-
leon to herself, when Mrs. Cater had
had an unusually busy day. 81 wonder
what she does when she pokes the
eggs around with her nose that way?
1t looks as though she was trying to
poke up to the top Of the heap the
eggs that have been on the bottom.
I believe I'll ask Wise Mr.. Owl IL
that's what she does"
So up the tree trunk Miss Chame-
leon climbed to ask Mr.. Owl her
question.
"Dear ME. how do I know" ex-
claimed Mr.. Owl testify, for, to tell
the truth, he knew no more about
alligator eggs than he had learned
by observation. Maybe she Is turn
ing them around. Maybe she Is.
What do I care? You're SO very
curious, Miss Chameleoni" And he
scratched his head and snapped at
his claws 30 Grossly that Miss
Chameleon was only too glad to

PROFITS IN MINING.

Editor Capital News: Relative to your
editorial few days ago on mining be-
ing one of the great industries of our
country and legitimate business, 1t
might be interesting to your readers to
deavor from viewpoint of the profits
this business is making in the United
States and Idaho.
/ quote from the statistical number
of the Mining and Engineering World
of Chicago
September proved the most re-
munerative in point of dividends paid
of any single month in the history of
the industry, when disbursements to-
tailed $29.551 1853, but $2,799,5s' less
than was paid during the first nine
months OF 1898.
''Of the september payments the
eoppers were responsible for $17,169.-
1894; the gold silver lead zinc proper
ties, $7,243,744; and the metaliurgical
companies, $5,15S.131.
Also rightfully the s4,20o,000 declar-
alton in September of the kennccott
Copper corporation, and a large part
of the s3,600,000 dividend of Phelps.
Dodge & company, besides others
which are holding gcompanies and not
included in the list of operating COM
copper dividends.
For a record of achievement by a
single industry the performance of
American mines and works in the
years past is little short of wonderful,

with it's hundred parks and it's lakes.
Certainly it is looking well toward the
future yet they are a source of health
and recreation at the present.
While considering these rest PARIS

perty in this city will never be cheaper
than it is today. Furthermore, l I'M
derstand Elm Grove will be divided in
to city lots and sold next spring. This
is the inly site in all Boise now ready
to be used as park. Its acres of fine
trees and its location in the northwest
part of the city makes it especially de-
sirable. This section Of the city alone
has no park or recreation facilities, al
though it is the part of Boise which
will grow most rapidly.
Every summer day, from one to three
picnic parties meet here. 1t WILL in
deed be calamity II the city overlooks
this opportunity, for it will take 20
years more to grow trees on another
park such as this has.
