AS to the former, apart from the
tendency to shorten sleeping hours in
order to make the greatest possible
use of the long day, there seems to be
kind of stimulation of the nervous
system, urging people to a feverish
and purposeless activity. This Is
especially noticed in newcomers. but
the natives are not exempt from It.
On the other hand. the coming Of the
long winter night is followed by kind
Of reaction, though no general depres-
sion Of vitality is apparent.
With the cessation of work the
period of soclability begins, and the
circumstances favor lapse Of self

Il has always seemed to me that Df.
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, should be placed
near the top when list of Americas
great benefactors is written. He studied
and conquered human diseases to . de-
gree that few realize. Whenever he found
remedy that overcame disease, he at
once announced it in the newspapers and
told where it could be bought at a small
price. He did not follow the usual custom
of keeping the ingredients secret, 80 that
the rich only could afford to buy thu
medicine, but openly printed the name Of
each root and herb he used. And 30 today
the names of Or. Pierce and his medicines
are widely known, and they stand for bet
ter health and better citizenship.
One of this great physicians most suc-
cessful remedies is known a. DR.. Pierce's

He turned, strobe to the door and
out of the room. A moment later they
heard scream from Miss Baker in
the kitchen: Elisha Warren, what ails
you? Are you crazyT' There was no
answer, but the back door closed with
a tremendous bang.
Half an hour after his dramatic exit
Captain Elisha was pacing up and
down the floor of the barn. 1t was an
old refuge of his, place where he was
accustomed to go when matters requir-
ing deliberation and thought oppressed
him. AS he turned in his stride he
saw a shadow move across the sill of
the big. open door. He caught his
breath and stopped.
Caroline entered the barn. She came
straight to him and put her hands upon
the lapels of his coat. Her eyes were
wet aud shining.
"Caroline?" he faitered eagerly.
"You good man!' she breathed soft
ly. "Oh, you good man!'

there was hope in it. Caroline, you're

The report of the United States
Geological Survey on the output Of
the mines of New Mexico for the first
eleven months of 1918 and the esti-
mated output for December shows q
decrease in all metals. The total pro-
duction was $681 900 in gold, 868,OOc

lead, 9S,620,000 pounds of copper anc
25,OOO,000 pounds of recoverable zinc
The total value was $28,625,OOO, as
compared with the 1917 output, valued
at $34, 1856, ,765.
Copper, OF course, is the principal
metal produced in New Mexico. The
larger part Of this production comes
from the Chino Copper Company's de.
posits at Santa Rita. This is a low
grade ore which is milled at the com.
pany's immense plant at Hurley. The
Phelps-Dodge mines at Tyrone and
the Eighty-five mine at Lordsbura
also enter into the production figures
Other copper mining districts in thu

In gold and silver production the
Mogollon District in Socorro county
leads with an output of $115,94S il
gold and 312000 ounces of silver,
which is less than half Of the output
Of this district in 1917. Other dis.
