A prisoned bee in the hot sunlight

His low monotonous humble set to a
garrulous grim refrain
Guilty or not?" Guilty or not?' The

They nick the table with idle knives,
and shift their guilds and sigh.
Aeons gone, when the new-turned
world rolled to the brink of space,
Out of a storm of star-dust hurled to
its appointed place
The great Lord God that fashioned it

HEART MARRIAGES.

J. H. writes: ST see you answer for
a few letters from young men, so I
make bold to write you of my trou-
ples, asking advice. I am 26, of good
character, habits and with a position
considered good,> which pays me one
hundred and twenty-five dollars per
month "A year ago met and fell in
love with a sweet young girl of Is.
She returned my love and we became
engaged, with no date set for the we'd
ding, however. My idea was to save
every dollar I could for the next two
years to be able to make a payment

fairly aghast at the story my friends
greeted me with. A man of nearly so,

Gently ce1ne there on business, saw
my girl, fell in love with her at first
sight and has been a welcome caller
at her home ever since. Her parents
are fairly infatuated with him. He

If the girl has proven tickle, choos-

pleading to her would be futile Hold
your heart, your manliness and your
determination well in leash, awaiting
the outcome of her unfortunate fas-

sweetheart than to lose her after she
becomes a wife. Bring your good
sense to bear upon this truth. Watch
and wait.

A FRIVOLOUS MAID.

g. B. writes: ''I am a young girl of
twenty-five, blonde and considered
very attractive and pretty, even though
do say it myself. I am not popular
with girls hereabouts of my own age
for the reason all the young men pass
them by and fall in love with me. I
can count seven different fellows who
are anxious to become my steady COM
pany. What can do to shake at
least three or four of them?''
Do. not coquette with the boys. Give
some of the other girls a, chance by
choosing one of your admirers from
among the many, dismissing the rest.
You miss much of life's sweetness by
having no girl friends.

no. I realize what he does not-that
he would soon rue the step and it
would wreck all his after life. What
can I, what should I do?''
Do not give up trying to reason him
out of committing an act Of folly He
means well, even though his Judgment
is misdirected. Get your friends to do
their best to influence him in the right
direction. If all of this fails of the
hoped for result, you have done your
best. No human could do more.
Infatuation, which youth So often
mistakes for love, is the hardest thing
in this world to uproot and extermtn-
ate. When a mothers prayers and
tears will not prevail hope has little
to build on. Yet a miracle may hap
pen. Trust and pray for it.

CHANGED TIMES IN
THE MINING INDUSTRY.

The recently published report of the
secretary Of the Interior shows what a
revolution has occurred in the mining
industry. Now-th total annual out
put of our mines is two and a. half
billions of dollars. In the mining
crease of $3.50, 100000 in the pro-
duct of the past year over the pre-
vious one. Mining has become an af-
fair of great corporations and vast
promotions, and the small mine and
the individual prospector are scarcely
in it.
Many millions Of dollars are annu-
ally lost in the mine business because
investors do not realize how thor
oughly the day Of small things has
gone by. In every state of the union
there are indications Of the precious
metals From time immemoria1 en-
thusiastic promoters have been selling
mining stock on these seemingly fair
hopes.
They get a. few good looking speci-
mems, have them assayed and produce
an experts report showing the value
of this material They put a few
gIistening specimens in their pockets
and talk Iearned1y of sme1ters and
veins 1t is astonishing how the mere
sight of a sparkling piece of ore will
lure on hard-headed business men
who couldn't possibly be Fooled in
their own line Of business.
Mining crazes sweep over whole
communities and the inhabitants pay
fancy prices for land that will never
be valuable for anything but timber
or paSturage. The plant which is
necessary to get the material out
prof1tably may cost as much as the
entire amount of ore that could be
found.
All over the country are little min
ing plants going to rust and decay
because capital enough could not be
secured to put the proposition on d
working basis. 1t is also estimated
that for every dollar taken out by
mines, two dollars are put into worth
less or hopeless prospects or into non
paying propositions.
