merely sensational, trivial or likely

We hold that every editor has IT in
his power to do his share toward
stilling international distrust, and we
declare it to be the sentiment of this
congress that its members should dis
charge their duty as matter Of pro.
fessional service. of patriotism and

The result in Illinois can be attrib-

Mckinley is popular in the Senate and
In his own State. His campaign was
abundaHtly financed and his forces
well organized. He appealed on the
basis of his regularity as a Repub-
lican and vigorously protested his
loyalty to President Coolidge. Such
argunentS naturally would be very ef-

 Smith was apprehended, the Times said, by the investigations of the Alaska Public Utilities Con- pany which became curious on ac- count of the small amount charge able to Smith for electricity. es- peciaIly during the past short days.

Gold Mines Good Investment

Gold mines are the best invest ment on the American continent to- day. The myth that mining is ever and always a gamble and nothing but a gamble is given a severe jolt by the Financial Review of New York, which declares that the gold and silver mine dividends exceed those of all banks. The Review adds:
 "The conservative New York Tribune recently created consider able chagrin among certain invest ment bankers by publishing the fol lowing statement relative to mining Investments:
 "'One of the things that invest ment bankers have had to admit is that the gold and silver dividends of the United States during the past two years are greater than the com bined dividends of all the banking institutions of this country, and on the head of that the government figures show that the average re- turns on capital invested by bank iup in4nracfa fo ba aho1If 61L nor cent, while the return on mining was 1S2 per cent, and Dun and Bradstreet show that only 32 per cent. of mining investments fail against 54 per cent. failure in oth- CT lines of business

Weasel Tanned By WOodsmsn of
 British Columbia

Many persons with experience with animals will tell you that weasel cannot be tanned; that, though small, he is too wild and fierce ever to make friends with man.
 The experience of Alan Howard. a woodsman of British Columbia, disproyes this. and shows that even the savage little weasel will respond to kindness. Having noticed signs of the animal about his cabin, Mir. Howard placed a piece of raw meat on the porch. The weasel, watch ing from behind the wood-pile, would not approach until the man entered the house.. Then the meat disappeared as though by magic.
 After a few days MT. Howard left the door open couple of inches and placed the meat just in side. Mr. Weasel screwed up his courage. put on little more speed, and continued to escape with the prize.
 Gradually the weaseIs fear de- creased, until he would come in and snatch a bit of meat from the toe of MT. Towards boot while the man held a paper or magazine up as though reading.
 From this the intimacy pro- gressed. The little animal became so tame that he would sit on Mir. Towards shoulder and lick his ear. or take meat off his head In the evening a faint scratching would inform Mr Howard that his friend wanted to come in Admitted, the weasel would dart under the stove and from there carefully survey the room before taking any chances. On the rare occasions when a stranger called, the weasel remained ouut of sight.
 MT. Howard used Cuticura soap, and one day discovered his pet drinking the soapy water from the washpan. He immediately offered some clear water, but the animal rejected it and went back to the soapsuds!
 When spring began, little brown stripe started at the end of the weasel's nose. Day after day, as the weasel sat on his knee, MT. Howard watched that stripe length en and broaden until it reached the animals tail. Then it was about half an inch wide at the shoulders. Gradually widening, it spread down his sides until he was all brown ex- cept a little white under his throat.
 With the disappearance of the snow, the weasel left, probably go- ing to higher altitude where it was cooler. But in the following fall he returned. and resumed his friendship with the woodsman. They ate supper from the same table every day and spent the eve- nings together. Dawson News.
