The burglar had entered the house as quietly as possible, but his shoes were not rubber soled and they made a certain amount of. noise.
 Suddenly the burglar stiffen- ed. He heard a woman's voice.
 If you don't take off your shoes when you come into this house there'e going to be trouble. Its been raining for three hours, and you've dared to tramp on my carpets! Go downstairs and take off those shoes!"
 The burglar crept downstairs and out of the house without a word. His pal, who kept watch outside, noticed tear glisten in his eyes.
 T can't rob that place, Sam," murmured the burglar. "Its just like home."

GREAT DAYS AHEAD.

Those who seek the easy ex- istence of perpetual summer are welcome thereto. For oth- CTS the physical luxury and mental lethargy of lazy days and lotus eating are nothing compared with the pleasures, anticipations and vigor deriv ed from the infinite variety of the temperate zone, where weather is weather, not clim. ate, and nature in the course of a year can play her entire rep ertoire.
 Most of us do not realize the fact that there are romano. and an intangible solace for the bigger than weather" in gray days and frosty nights. The human frame seems to take new strength and life from the beating snow ana biting cold. Mans spirit flour ishes on combat and resistance and it is the long winter night that puts iron back into nortn- ern souls and rescues them from the appalling possibilities of eternal summer.
 It is only during his periods of incidence that the dwellel in the temperate zone sighs for the year of a single season and dreads the approach of argent frost, the bleak winds of winter, the drifting snow and the ice-covered streams. But when the first blast of winter straightens his should CTS, sends the warm blood coursing through his body ana quickens his pace, memories of the summer sun vanish before anticipations of snug overcoats, blazing hearths, sound slunl- Der under cozy comforts, roast turkey, pumpkin, whole even- ings for reading or repose ana general contentment.
 Fuel bills and shortages, snow-covered walks, and url- certain conditions overhead and underfoot are surely more than compensated for by the

THE MINES AND
 THE PUBLIC

NA ANAAA SAAS oANOANCI
 The Spectacular rise of Brit lsh Columbia mining stock a few months ago and the in- creased volume of trading that has been we'll sustained ever since served the very useful and essential purpose of awak- ening public interest, at home and abroad, in the mineral wealth of this province.
 This stock activity has made the public mine-conscious.
 But, necessary as it is, the fact that a few more thousand people are willing to put a few more thousand dollars into B. c. mines than they would a few years ago, will not devel- op the mineral wealth of B. c.
 The first essential to mining prosperity is to facilitate the efforts of prospectors to go out and discover and chart out new mines. The next es- sential is to facilitate the in- vestigation of mines by the in- vesting public.
 There ought to be some way that man could walk into a government office in Vancouv- CT and find out every particu- lar on every mining property that is listed on the Mining Exchange or that is allowed to sell stock here.
 He ought to be able to find out exactly where the mine is, how many claims it comprises, what minerals are found in it, what good properties there are around it and in that district, what the capital of the com pany is and how much money is going into the promoters hands and how much into the property.
 He should in that Govern ment office be able to find out every single detail in connect ion with every single mine in British Columbia.
 The ready availability of such information would help the investor and help the prospect or. It would enable the invest or to know just what he was going to put his money into. And it would enable the pros pector to know just what was going on in every district of the province.
