A Poor Mining

It-seems 10 be admitted in most

Splendid Program
Given by the Band

The residents and visitors ia
Idaho Springs were afforded 8
splendid treat when the Blazing
Arrow band gave its second con-
cert of the summer season last
night. The numbers rendered
showed much improvement over
the last concert and psoved that
the boys and Director S. q. Ham
lin have been doing son.e consis-
tent and regular practice.
The introduction of soloist as
an added attraction proved to be
popular with the audience, as Mrs
g. w. r. Hoy was enthusiastically
applauded after her well rendered
solo.
The attendance at the concert
was excellent, several hundred pc o.
pie taking advantage of the oppor-
tunity to enjoy the music and the
cool evening as we'll
The general concensus of opin-
ion is that Idaho Springs is fortu-
nate in having such musical or
ganization and that all of her cit
izens should aid in its support. 1t
is hoped that the next concert will
occur III the near future.

Creation Of permanent national

CHARITY

EOR some five or six years we nave
II had riot of charity appeals.
There have been drives for this and
campaigns for that-tag days and all
other kinds of days.
Rightly the people have responded
with promptness and generosity to all
the appeals, touching the bottoms OF
their pockets occasionally when the
drives came very close together and
always giving something, however 1T
tie they We're interested in the cause.
The war was responsible for the
most of the appeals. But the war u.s.
technically, at least, over and 1t would
seem as If there ought TO be let-up
and a good breathing spell SO that
pocketbooks may recover and charities
get down to a normal basis.
Charity ought to mean something TO
the giver as well as to the receiver.
Real charity means giving real help.
Money Is frequently long way from
being the best thing that you can give
to o poor and suffering individual.
II you saw man In pit and all
his efforts to get out were unsuccess-
full you would scarcely be doing him
any very great service by tlinglns a
dollar down into the pit with him.
1. no th., host THING tu
get down in the pit yourself.
The best thing to do is provide the
man way out Of his predicament-a
way to better himself-a way to get
up on level with his fellow man.
II was not the amount of money that
the Good Samaritan spent that made
his name a synonym for generous char
ity. 1t was the fact that when he saw
the man who had been down to Jericho
lying by the roadside "he went to him
and bound up his wounds and set him
GA his own beast and brought him tC
an inn and took care of him."
There are too many of US who are
generous with our dollars and miser'
with our smiles. We spend a dollar
where a hearty good cheer, a message
of encouragement, little thoughtful
ness would do a good deal more t
help those to whom we intend to eX
tend aid.
Charity which lessons the self
respect of the one helped is badl!

A loaf of bread given in such a wa!
that the receiver thinks less of him
