The z I tuxedo Hour
hv W1f Mason

Tuxedo's bully all the time; it makes the passing
hours sublime, and by its soft and gracou. curves it
soothes the soul and rests the nerves. and fills my
bosom. once again. with peace on earth, good will
men. But best like it when I've fed this face of
mine with jam and bread. When have dned on Irish
stew and beans and boiled potatoes, too and pie
and eggs and cheese and trpe, It's then best enjoy
my pipe. When from the table withdraw, | grip
my briar with my jaw and fill it with Tuxedo mild
- the pure Tuxedo unde6led and smoke away in
perfect bliss; pleasure compare with this
And in the curling smoke see world that seemeth
good to me. A world that's debonair and gay its
and worries done away. The plans chat seemed
foredoorned to FAIL the work that seemed of no avail
now wear the rosy glow of hope, and endorse all
sunshine dope Ts thus in my Tuxedo hour: the
world that seemed dark and dour. blooming like
rose Of spring, and I'm in mood to laugh and sing

Many misaivings are heard as to
the future Price of copper, for it
would be sudden shock to the min
ers OF the state if copper should sud
denly drop and the high prices now
being paid, 5.35$ per day, dropped to
$3.50. There should be no fear on
that score, however, for it is prac-
tically certain that almost all OF the
large copper producers are selling
large tonnages of the metal for de-
livery into 1917 and for some
months have had their entire pro-
ducion sold Tor the year 1916. Con-
stant dividends seem assured for a
considerable period, and the present
high wages will undoubtedly be in
force for many months to come.
