THE STABILITY OF MINING

The Salt Lake Mining Review says that not so many years ago mining no popular as 1t Is today It is that the industry favored by many of the leading business of the country but they were asha- ed let it become known that they interested ill occupation that generally regarded as being egt
 mate and which afforded such excellent opportunities for the crook and gold brick artist.
 Those opposed to mining claimed that 1t was noth- ing than game of chance and is still difficult to the inexperienced that opportunities exist in mining that cannot be equaed by any other occupation pursuit They skeptical to the stability of min ing little thinking that the miner has than even break with the farmer manufacturer.
 The farmer not count upon harvesting crop in the fall with much certainty a mining figure the from body that has been developed his property.

With the miner however. when body of of known values has been developed 1t has fixed value. and the mine product impelshable. It is enduring and presents actual wealth.

THE CASE OF THE I. W. W.

The Industrial Workers of the World were organ ized in Chicago in June 1905 and being othe recog nzed labor organizations then in existence in direct

 the organization resented by the American Feder alton of Labor and when he heard of the convention which gave birth the l. w. w. and the names of the sgners of the ca President Gompers of the A. F. L. said

afraid Is to be q sham, q cringing
mental. a nobody; while to be able to
believe In the best and to trust that.
no matter what our evil genius may
suggest to the contrary. the light
awaits us on ahead, Is to be a hero
and conqueror, a friend and helper
to all mankind.
It Is well. then. that In obedience
to old custom we should throw about
the Christmas season the parti-colored
mantle or Joy and wreathe It with the
hearts most exurberant gladness.
1t would be a shame not to be glad,
and not to try to make everybody
else glad. on Christmas day!
On Christmas day to be cynic and
to curl the lip Of scorn at sight of
the rosy festivities about us, would
be an objectionable crime the very
abyss Of the mean and contemplate.
1t Il part Of the unwritten law Of
every healthful heart that when
Christmas comes we are to put our
best foot forward" cast all care to
the winds and be as full of gladness
and good will as an egg is Of meat.
And right here In this unconquer-
able optimism we find the only true
and genuine Christianity. The one
whose birth the Christmas signalizes
came to replace tears by smiles. sor-
row by happiness, worry by conf
dence and despair by the "hopc that
maketh not ashamed" and in his
name I wish you all Merry Christ

turkey and plum pudding. but an ex-
ira abundance Of good will to men,"
with no lack Of the disposition and
resolve to make everything else as
happy as yourselves.

Some Legends
of Christmas
Celebrations
T(HE original "halcyon days"
were at Christmas, and were
s0-called because the halcyOp.


an ancient name for the king
fisher, was said to build Its nest upon
the waters at this time Of year. 1t was
generally supposed that this bird,
through the influence Of the holy sea-
son, had the power to still the waves
and winds, so that the weather was
peaceful and calm, and enabled the
halcyon to lay her eggs in her floating
nest and brood upon them with perfect
safety.
In olden times It was believed that
oil nature testified in various ways to
recognition Of the great event COM
memorated in the celebration of Christ.
mas. The winds and seas, as well as
the animals and plants and all other
living things, gave evidence Of knowr
edge Of the approaching glorious ami.
versary and became imbued with the
prevalent spirit Of alteration, Joy and
pence.
Tradition tells us that at the mo-
ment of the Savior's birth a universal
peace reigned throughout the earth.
that a deep silence rested upon the
world, the birds stopped in their flight,
the cattle ceased to feed, men became
motionless with sudden awe In the
midst Of their labors, and the stars
glittered with added luster. From this
tradition came the superstiti0ns Of the
middle ages relating to the miraculous
phenomena supposed to occur annu-
ally at Christmas, many Of which still
survive.
Bells. too. have their legends. In a
village near Raleigh, In Nottingham
shire, England, there is now valley
where once there was . picturesque
and prosperous village. but an earth
quake swallowed 1t up: yet every
Christmas since, the bells Of the bur-
led church are heard Ginning.
Similar tales are told Of Preston, IN
Lancashire. and Been. in the Neither.
lands. This latter city was famed for
It's beauty and magnincence. and also
for the sins and avarice Of Its inhabi.

ments Of mental and spiritual achieve
ment, the eternal reminders Of the
only true progress-the progress that
enables us to perceive and admire the
moral sublime.
Conspicuousfy radiant among these
gala days is the Christmas, standing
as 1t does for the nativity of One who.
all theological quibbling aside. was the
living embodiment Of the most beau
tiful and, at the same time, the most
helpful manhood that this world has
ever seen.
The one who Is foremost In our
thoughts at this time was pre-eminent-
~ hopeful. From the harp over
which he swept his hand there came
no pessimistic strain, no note Of de-
spair.
BE gave Us the gospel, the "Glai
Tldings.~ To all his word was "Be
not afraid" The Supreme In whose
embrace he ever rested, like the babe
In mothers arms, was supreme love.
Hence that other word of his, which
he was SO fond Of repeating to the
multitude, "Let not your hearts be
troubled"
Religion, so-called, Is responsible
tor q vast amount of mental misery.
& has crazed many a mind, broken
many a heart, driven countless thou
sands into the throes of despair. but
set it be remembered that the Beautl-
ful One who is commemorated In the
Christmas season authorized no man,
or combination Of men, to speak in
his name the word Of gloom.
He who was born in Bethlehem. or
IN Nazareth, for 1t makes no differ
ence where he first saw the light OF
earth, grew up to be the most uncOm-
promising optimist that ever walked
the ways Of earth. Wherever he went,
along with him went gladness, and
from his radiant presence despair fled
as the darkness fees before the rising
sun.
He was like the wonderful river In
the sea. warming and encouraging all
mat he touched. The Gulf Stream Of
humanity, he put new life and cour-
age and Joy into the cherries, sor-
powing world to which he came.
And he was able to do this because
ne was so gloriously hopeful, 40
stanchly committed to the belief In
the best.
Looking up, he saw. instead Of the
black, bottomless eyesocket," the liv-
ing, loving glance Of the "Father."
whose eternal goodness would never
do him harm.
Looking ahead, this man saw no
pooks or bogies, no devils or tends

sver II hung no dark clouds Of impend-
ing disaster.
