Our Army of Bartenders.

| The labor problem connected with the
withdrawal of the liquor industry from
the American labor market is unimpor-
tant compared with the other labor prob
lens with which we have TO deal. The
United States figures for 1913 show that
the liquor manufacturers employed o..
g20 wage earners, to whom S45,252, 600
was paid in wages. The prohibition adj
vocates have not failed to harp upon the
fact that the number of wage eaTners
employed and the volume of wages paid
by the liquor industry is exceedingly
small when the value of its output is
taken into consideration as compared
with smaller items for other important
industries II is pointed out in addition
that BY no means all of the 62.920 wage
carriers employed by the liquor industry
are specialized labOrers who might not
expect to secure profitable employment
in other industries. A recent investi-
gator pointed out that the census To-

Placer Mining Along Snake River.

For many years gold has been known
to exist in the valley of Snake river
particularly in the part of it that passes
through southern Idaho. As early as
1862 pIospeetors ase reported to have ex.
tracted gold from gravels in jackson
hole. 1t occurs at many places both on
the present river bars and on terraces
along the river representing ancient lev
els Of the water, but it does not occur
in quantity so great as to support large
opera tions with marked financial sue
cess. though some miners have made a
small amount of money. Probably the
most extensive workings were in south
ern Idaho, in the vicinity of Rupert,
Minidoka and American Falls
Most of the gold is in very small flakes
having an aveIage fineness of .945. About
$4,000 has been produced since 1902
the earliest date for which records are
available. A little platinum occurs with
the gold but not in commercial quaint
ties.
Many dredges and process" machines
have beer tried on Snake river, most of
them depending on amalgamation for the
recovery of gold, but the sluice and rock
err, the sluice supplemented by burlap
tables. have proved the most successful.
An account of this region and a bibli-
ography of the literature pertaining to
it, with descriptions of a number o. typi-
cal localities, has been published by the
United States Geological Survey in bull
letin 620-L, by j. NJ. Hill. which may be

that survey at Washington.

AS We GROW Older

our minds are quite as active as in
former years but our strength does not
respond when we needit most; perhaps
the kidneys are weak, the liver torpid,
rheumatic pains or stiffened joints
beset us, and we cannot easily throw
off the colds that winter brings.
Whatwe need is the rich cod liver oil
in SCOTS Emulsion TO renew the blood
andcarry strength to every organ ofthe
body, whileiis glyoerine soothes there's
piratory tract, and its hypophosphites
strengthen the excitable nerves.
SCOTS Emulsion is a scientific oil
food, of unusual benefit TO those past
fifty years-particularly during the
colder seasons, It impaTts warmth and
creates strength. One bottle will prove
its worth. No alcohol or harmful drugs.

JOHNNYS
VALENTINE
By ETHEL HOLMES

Johnny Walsh was very modest
little boy, so modest that when the
house across the way and short dis
lance down the street was occupied by
a new family, including a golden hair
ed, blue eyed girl, with pink cheeks
and vermilion lips, Johnny's breath
was quite taken away by her childish
beauty.
Johnny treasured in his heart deli
cious something for the girl opposite
that he would reveal to no one, least of
all to the object of his alteration. SO
fearful was he that she would suspect
1t that. when he saw her coming on
the street, he would either look down
at his toes or up at the sky, but never
ut her.
The approach of st. Valentines day
was great relief to Johnny. He could
send his little love a valentine ex-
pressing his feelings for her without
her knowing that he did so. The only
obstacle in the way was that he did
not know her name and did not dare
ask any one who might know for fear
of betraying his secret. He was on
intimate terms with the grocer's deliv.
cry boy, whom he had noticed deliver.
ed supplies to both his and her home,
and asked him for the name of the
family In which his sweetheart be-
longed Through Jim he learned the
girls name was Julia Reynolds.
Tnhnnu hoI = oil is
The next thing for him to do was TO
buy valentine. He found it difficult
to find one to suit him. but at last sue
ceeded, carried it to his room and,
locking the door, proceeded to address
1t to Miss Julia Reynolds of 357 Har-
rison street, spelling Harrison H-a-r-i-
sen.
A terrible thing happened while
Johnny was taking the valentine to the
letter box. Just as he was about TO
drop the missive In the box who should |
come along but the very girl to whom |
1t was addressed! John blushed scar
let and instead of putting the valeatine |
in the box put it in his pocket and |
walked away, looking up at the sky. |
1t was not till the evening, when dark !,
ness covered his romance, that Johnny
mailed his valentine in box a mile
from his home.
Whether among the dozen valentines
John received there was one from the
girl he loved best he did not know.
Soon after st. Valentines day, meeting
Julia coming from school, he mustered
courage to glance at her and thought
he saw a suspicion of smile on her
pretty lips. But he dared not keep /.
his eyes on her long enough to make
sure. This was the last time he saw

away is ahead of them as they are over
taken by free education"
The report says that surprising num-
Der of the women are beginning to share
the skepticism of their husbands and
that theosophy, spiritism and similar
cults are rapidly taking the place of
Christianity in numerous sections. In
Bolivia alone, it is claimed, three-fourths
of the members OF Congress and of the
well-to-do business men and nearly all
the government students are sworn ene-
mics of the church while similar coudi-
tions prevail in practically all the sister
republics.
Reviewing the difficulties which con-
front missionaries to Latin America the
report lays the blame for many of the
evil conditions which it enumerates, and
in particular, to the in1u-
ence of many American and other for
eign business agents who have invaded
the southern countries in search of trade.

the Reynolds door and later heard thai

Johns anxiety overcame his bash
fulness. He gathered his loose change
/ amounting to so cents, and bought a
| posy. Then he persuaded a small boy
he picked up near the Reynolds house
/ to take 1t to the door, ring the bell
and hand 1t in, saying that it was for
! Julia. John stood behind tree box
/ till the feat was accomplished then
! walked away, proud OF what he had
| achieved.
A dozen years passed John Walsh's
remembrance of his little love was a
very pleasant one, and often he laugh
ed at his terror lest either the girl or
any one else should discover his secret
devotion. Being now man he took
no interest in st. Valentines day. but
whenever it came round. though he
had forgotten the missive he had sent
Julia Reynolds, pleasant sensation
seemed to haunt him. As to Julia, he
did not know whether she was still liv-
ing. Her image remained with him,
but as If seen in mirror that had be-
come cloude1 Though his childish love
was thing of the past, neither it nor
its object was forgotten.
When John was twenty-five years
old he met at an evening function a
young lady, with whom he was from
the first en- rapport. They fell to COM
pairing notes and learned that they had
once lived in the same city and in the
same neighborhood.
John had been introduced to the
young lady as Miss Reynolds, and it
occurred 10 him that this might be his
child love. He asked her If her name
was Julia, and when she said yes he
was sure that she was the girl to
whom he had sent the valentine and
the posy when she was Ill., He had
overcome his boyish bashfuIness and
was happy to avow that he had wor
SHIPPED her from a distance and had |
sent her valentine and flowers. Miss |
Reynolds listened to this with evident |
pleasure, but gave no sign of remem- |
bering any such boy as John Walsh. |
John. whose assurance was now equal |
to his former modesty. swore that he
had never forgotten his boyish love
and intimated that he would gladly I
pursue 1t as man. Whether the
young lady attributed this to gallantry
or not she did not say.
Certain it is that there followed a
between the two. In its last
stages John prided himself on his con-
stancy and feigned to regret that his
former devotion had not been appre-
hated Miss Reynolds made no reply
10 these protestations till he had pro-
sosed and had been accepted. Then she

Chicago Chef Is Sought for
Illness Of Hundred
Diners
AT UNIVERSITY
CLUB BANQUET
Given in Honor of Archbish-
OPP Mundelein Last
Thursday Evening

Chicago, Feb l4.--Virulent poison was
found Saturday by Chicago city chemists
in samples of the soup served at the ban
quet in honor of Archbishop Mundelein
at the University club here Thursday
night. The discovery, coupled with the
disappearance of a kitchen employee of
the club and the finding of similar poi
son in a private laboratory in his room,
! together with literature cassed as am
archistic, led the police to believe that
the illness which overcame more than
] 100 OF the diners was the result of de-
| liberate attempt to poison the guests.
The nature of the poison discovered,
and the fear that perhaps slow-acting
poison had also been mingled with the
banquet viands, prompted the city health
commission, DIR. John d. Robertson, to
issue a warning to all who attended the
banquet to place themselves Immediately
under the care of physician. Several

and said Saturday that he had not felt
any i'll effects.
The absence of Jean Crones. assist

manager, II. j. Doherty, and his suspi- !
cions were aroused. With a policeman
he went to Crones' room and there dis
covered the laboratory and found poison |

cisls, was employed last September. In
the room which he had occupied, the po- |
lice say, they found many volumes by
authors, explosives and wea-
pons, in addition to the poison walls. He I
was said by the police to have come to
Chicago from st. Louis and his descrip-
ton was sent to various cities.
Among the guests at the banquet who
were affected by the poison were pre-
lates, Judges, bankers, noted physicians,
business men and manu-
facturers prominent in the affairs of city h
and nation.
