st. Thomas News-We have been
"off the air." so to speak, for over
a month but we trust we may be
on again permanently.
Much has transpired since our
departure. First, the most impor-
tant feature is the discontinuance
of the summer service schedule.
Previously, worship was arranged
so that the Rector may be present
regularly every Sunday. However,
the new schedule allows him to be
present every other Sunday, to-
gether with all special arrange
ments. This is made possible
through the assistance and the gra-
cious service of the Rev. Father A.
H. Lealtad, former priest in charge
of st. Thomas and retired Rector
of st. Philips church, st. Paul.
Father Lealtad in his recent ca
pacity bears the title of Rector
Emeritus" He alternates with
Rev. James every other Sunday and
fills similar capacity at st. Phil
ip's, st. Paul. Services at the
church, as may be found among the
church ads, are as follows: Church
School 10 A. M; Morning Prayer
and Sermon at IL A. NJ; Holy
Communion at A. M. and IL A.
M. first Sunday of the month.
The choir is doing great work in
recent months. Recently Mrs. F.
Lucas has been made Choir direct
ress, Miss Cathrine Underwood,
organist, and Mrs. M. Whitney,
Choir Mother. Other members are
Misses Barbara Mallory, Barbara
Mcclure, Apperea Price, Lillian
Tyler, Mercedes Blair, Vera john
son, Esther Jackson, Alois Moore;
Messrs. B. Crawford, M. gilbert
son, w. Richardson, A. Clark and
Mrs. T. Carey. Masters Roy and
Boyd Crawford, Jr., acted as AGO.
lytes and Mr.. Winston Richardson
acts as assistant in services.
At recent election of officers of
the Mems Club, Mr.. Boyd Craw-
ford was elected president; Mr..
Harvey Lucas, vice-president; Mr..
Andrew Clark, secretary; and Mr..
F. Corners, treasurer. Officers of
the Women's Guild-Auxiliary elect
ed are as follows: Mrs. /. Ford,
president; Mrs. M. Cowder, vice
president; Mrs. L. Bowen, secre-
tary; and Mrs. J. Stevens, treas
urer.

LIFE is STIRRING
IN GHOST TOWNS
Gold and Silver Prospects
Revive Old Pits.

Boise, Idaho.-Hlgher gold prices
and an improved outlook for silver
have brought STRINGS OF life to
some Of Idaho's ghost cities-fa-
nous mining centers where millions
OF dollars in gold and silver were
obtained during the early days OF
the territory and state.
While such STRINGS have not yet
attracted general attention, II Is
known that several projects have
been moving steadily toward large
scale development work.
Especially is this true In Silver
City. most famous of the ghost
cities. More than 100 miners have
been working since weather be-
came favorable.
Among properties being worked
are the Mountain Chance claims,
the Golden Chariot group and the
Florida Mountain properties.
On the Mountain Chance property
40 men are being worked In day
and night shifts and the prediction
Is made by mining men that this
force will soon be increased to rs
or so men.
Below Silver City, on Jordan
creek, a dredging company has Sc
cured ground and plans to put In
a large dredge in the near future.
E. II. Dewey, Nampa. whose fa-
ther, Col w. II. Dewey. made
fortune from his strikes in the
Florida Mountain properties, and
James Murray, Nampa. old-time
mining man, are among local men
who are working for the rejuvena-
tion Of the district
Silver City started In the Cos and
for several years after that was
one Of the busiest sections Of the
territory, boasting a population OF

There they hung plaque In men,

The original Joe Miller was an
actor and a popular one In such
parts as league In Sir Robert How
ards Committee" Trinculo In
The Tempest" the First Gravedig-
ger In Hamlet" and Marplot In
The Busybody." On the stage he
was apparently an excellent come
dian. but when he took his ease In
his Inn, the Black Jack in Clare
Market. London. he laid humor
strictly aside and the humorous
marketmen and theatrical wits who
congregated there could never get a
smile out Of him.
II became the custom, In fact, TO
ascribe all sorts OF wild stories to
Joe Miller, since he would have
been the last man on earth 10 tell
them, and after his death on Au-
gust 16. 1873, his friend. John Mott
ley. the playwright, made a collee-
tlon OF jokes and anecdotes from
many sources and published them
under the title of "Joe Miller's
Jests: or. the Wits yade-Mecum." :"
Book Printed After Death.
The book appeared one year after
Joe's death, when his memory was
still green, and had an enormous
success. II has been reprinted, in
Vulnerable times, generally with ad-
dltions and modernIzations of the
material.
