We always felt his strength, his latent
power,
Yet we have seen him bend above q
flower
With smiling eyes. And we have seen
him go =.
To any length to ease another's woe!
We who have worked beside him know
that when
He suffered most he still helped fel-

And held the reins of business in his
hands,
And heard the wistful call Of other
lands. j..
We know that, with his gaze fixed
straight ahead,
He filled his place. And now that ne

We who have known him have no
word to say.
We only feel heavy loss, this day
We only feel bitter loneliness
That he himself, perhaps, would never
guess.
We only feel the tears begin to start
For we who worked beside hun knew
his heart!

GREAT AMOUNT OF
PROSPECTING DONE
THROUGHOUT FIELD

Just at present a great wave Of
prospecting is going on all over the
field, says the Miami Record Herald.
Whever one goes he hears the same
story, 1--WE are doing q lot Of pros
pecting."
Why are so many prospecting? At
times when things are dull it Is COM
mon to find 30 many prospecting but
now there is no excuse as times are
not dull. There has been a tremend-
Gus sales Of ore in the last few weeks
at fairly good figure.
To one in close touch with the in
dustry it looks like there might be a
suspicion among mining men that
there would be q call for lead and zinc
soon that makes it necessary to have
a great amount Of ore blocked out or
be out of the running.
Many believe that when we shall
have won the war and the cities OF
Europe begin to build, price will be
set on the output Of the Miami field
which has never been known. Mining
men seem to have gotten into the spir-
it Of the thing and are getting ready
for the time when they are to be re-
imbursed for all Of the great outlay
the high cost of mining and all Of the
other outgoes that follow in the wake
Of war and get the profit that right
fully belongs to them.

M MoTlN MAKES HIT.

Friday evening, May oath, an au-
dience representing the leading citi-
zens of the city, was present at Arion
hall, to hear Madam Frances E. Mo.
tin Of st. Louis, Mo-, the leading elo-
c%utionist Of the race, in recital.
From the very first number to the
last, the audience was thrilled, and
although they knew of her reputation
as being a rare artist, she surpassed
their most sanguine hopes, and they
marveled at her perfect poise, perfect
stage manners, and the excellency of
her reading. The library scene from
the Lion and the Mouse" received,
perhaps, the most applause. 1t was
an intricate piece of work, and Madam
Motin did it as only an artist can. In
this selection she i~mpersonated three
totally different characters, and the
transitions were we'll nigh perfect.
One could hardly realize that there
were not present the three characters,
so well did she pass from one to, the
other.-Portland (Ore.) Advocate.
