GALLANTRY.-Here is a question
that has been bOthering me for some
time: Should a man in a street car
get up and give his seat to one of the
gentler sex?
At one time gallantry was very
much in vogue in U. S., but hasn't it
rather taken back seat, especially
in Chicago, in the past few years?
Just how should the men treat the
women folks in the street and at
home? That raises a question for
much discussion. For instance,
should a man stand on the street
with his hat off when talking to a
lady? Also, should he rise always

FABLE.-Once upon a time there
was a flock of sheep grazing on a
field of ragweeds. There were con-
tent for some time, not knowing
there was anything better in exis-
tence. They were so busy picking
the few springs of grass from out the
ragweeds they had no time to look
about them.
One day their leader CHANGED to
spy another field across the hills. He
could not see it very we'll from where
he was, but it looked very inviting.
He told the others to follow him and
he would show them the way to
pasture filled with delicious grass.
They followed the leader, as all sheep
do, but soon found the new field to
be very little different to the one they
had just left. In fact, as they re-
membered, the old one was much
better.
At last their leader told them he
thought they had made a mistake in
leaving the old pasture and if they

peace and plenty. So they all fol-
lowed their leader back across the
well-trodden hill to the old pasture. |
In the meantime a field of alfalfa |
had sprung up right beside them. The |
new field offered them all that could |
be desired in the way of pasture.
Notwithstanding that through |
generation after generation the old |
pastures had become even worse,
that the struggle for existence was
becoming greater with each succeed
ing season, that many of the flock
were lost through lack of subsis-
tence, though the hills that once di-
vided the old pastures were worn
away until they were one except in
theory, the sheep were unable to rise
above their environment, and the

Does any one suppose working

that was so cents, really twice what

The theater should have been

as if the management did not want

them put the prices down to so, 25

production In 1915. ~ shown by the
final figures Of Charles w. Hender.
son of the United States Geological
Survey. was $43.426.697. This was an
increase Of $9,966,571 over the value
of the production in 1914.
The gold production was $22.414,.

preceding year. The value Of the sill.
yer output was 33.563.1s2. a decrease
OF $1,301. 042. The copper production
OF the state was valued at $1,244,6s4,
an increase of $361.684. The lead out
put was S3,234,09S, an increase OF
1899. 1874. and the zinc output was 3d.
500. 779. an increase Of $s,o34.25s.
The report shows that four-fifths of
the increased value Of the states min
eral production was due to the in
creased output of zinc. The state had
821 producing mines, or forty-five less
than the preceding year. Lake and
Pitkin counties produced consider
ably more than half of the states to-
tai lead output. Almost half the
mines operated were in Boulder,
Clear Creek. Gilpin and Lake coun-
ties.
The increased value OF the output
was due more to increased prices
than output, as shown by the total
gain in short tons Of ore treated
only 1868. The production of silver
in the state fell off 1.67s,000 fine
ounces.
