What would there be to the average wed- ding if it were not for the little supersitions that the bride and her attendants have about it all--what would there be to a wedding, aside entirely from the sacredness of the cere- mony, were it not for these things?
 The world gradually is out living the superstitions thal vexed it and caused much un- happiness, but there are som. superstitions that we never want to outlive--the superstlL- ions that make for joy and call for more of the kind that can do no harm.

TRAIL PLANT EXTENSIVE

The smelting, refining and ore dressing plant at Trail is one of the most complet and modern in the world. The size of the plant may be illustrated bS the experience of a Spokane man who recently applied at Trail for permission to be es- corted through the plant. He informed the management thal he had "a few hours to spare" and would Hike to see it all. .
 To his surprise he was inform ed that ''in a few hours" they could possibly show him the main features of the refining plant but if he desired to look over the entire plant it would take him three days, inspect ing eight hours each day, and walking fairly fast all the time" Trail has all the latest methods of smelting and refin- ing lead, silver, zinc, gold and copper ores. Copper and zinc are handled also by the cleo trolytic process and the com. pany turns out by-products
 such as white lead, copper
 wire and acids. In addition the company operates a con- centrating plant to handle customs ores.-Mining Truth.

A TRUE HEROINE

4 finer example of true hero- ism has never been seen in this locality than was display ed by Mss Thelma Burleigh, in connection with the tragic death of the late E. w. Hincl- ley, who lost his life a week ago while descending Mt. Lin- coln's rugged slopes. In mak- ing her way alone into the precipitous depths of the .,awning gorge where her ill., fated companion had fallen, this frail miss of eighteen years displayed a quality of courage that fully entities her to the designation of heroine. Her acd was rendered doubly heroic by the fact that it was not performed in the light of day when dangers may be seen ard avoided, but in the dea night upon a lonely non nside, where destruct- ion lurfed on every side and her ry step might find a
 ding her to doom.
 arrounded by the ob- ,:a4 shades of night, and utto unaware of where Aci ,lterjng footsteps led, 'ev @eed are they whc ,ra ct hesitate to dare the .!a.g s of her descent into lie canyon's gloom filled depth5; and fewer still who would not quail at the thought of enduring her long and lone ly vigil while she soothed as best she could the dying agon- ies of her stricken friend. Bathing his wounds; depriving herself of clothing for his com@ort; gathering smooth stones to make less hard his rocky resting place; even pill lowing his battered head upon her bosom and giving to his chilling body the warmth and comfort of her own, the brave girl sat through a long cold night of trial and personal dis comfort that required not only courage but also a spirit of compassion and self sacrifice approaching the sublime.

Knowing that the district attor
