COL. GARDENER? A. B.
The speech of Colonel Gardener of
Ui? 16th U. S. Infantry, at the flag
raising ceremonies of Camp Haines,
No. 17, of the Arctic Brotherhood on
Tuesday evening last is a tribute to
a worthy order from a very worthy
iiwi. The earnestness with which it
was delivered is characteristic of the
man brought up in the spirit of earn
estness &nd honorable dealing.
There is much food for thought in
the address. The duties of good citi
zenship are made plain. That the
order is recoguized as a worthy ex
ponent of this doctrine by Colouel
Gardener is a compliment of more
than passing interest.
As the years roll by the Arctic i
Brotherhood will grow into yet more
importance in the uplifting of the hu
man race. The spirit of the brother
hood of man permeates the doctrine
of the fraternity and the influence of
the order in the building of this new
race of the north will increase in its
effectiveness.
That it stands for law and order;
for self control; for fair dealing be
tween man and man; for protection
of the weak against evil; for compas
sion to dumb animals; and for all
the good that man can aspire to is
evidence why men of Colonel Garden
ers attributes seek admission to its
councils.
OPTIMISM vs. PESSIMISM.
When it comes to predicting the fu
ture or the end of a mining camp,
the p?>i>samist usually finds ready ears.
Human nature is ever inclined to
have its spells of bad feeling when
nothing is good; nothing apparently
goes right; the new camp holds out
no hope and the old camp is nearing
the end. The optimist, on the other
hand, is most truly the prophet, for
he by his very optimism and courage
continues to move forward, dragging
others with him, until the new day
comts. Would there be any doubt of
the future of two equally good camps
one peopled by optimists, and the
other by pessimists? One would be
a l>utte And the other would be a
well, for charity's sake, we won't
say it. It lays altogether with us
whether we are to be a camp of op
timists cr a herd ot sour visaged pes
simists; whether we are to make a
success of this camp or a failure.
God did his share; we are brought
face to fact with the question; are
we going to do ours? There is a
wonderful future before us if we take
time by the forelock and "boost";
keep on boos>" ng and then boost soma
more; work together like soldiers of
the common good; forget faction;
drop bickerings and use the hammer
exclusively on the drill. The recipe
is a simple one, containing no nar
cotic and easy to take. If the direc
tions are consistently followed, we
will all be optimists with a good rea
son? -Valdex Miner.
Yes, Seattle burned the hammer ?
but they have dug up some other sort
of a bludgeon and are fighting like
Kilkenny Cats over the Mayoralty
again. It is said that Hi Gill will try
once more to change places with Dil
ling, who ousted him some months
?go.
We have a very good idea about
how much It cost to put Senator
Lorimer in. but will come one kindly
tell us how much it will cost to get
him out?

Forecasting the Weather.
Of all the scientific departments the
weather bureau was started with the
least amount of knowledge of Its par
ticular subject. Independent observ
ers had gathered a small amount of
disassociated facts and based conclu
sion as it suited them upon the facts.
Rut meteorology was a very Indefinite
thing, strongly flbered with bad guess
es, myths, traditions and theories. It
was like the German grammar of
which Mark Twain complained. For
erery page of rules there were forty
pages of exceptions. When the weath
er bureau was started It was with lit
tle worth while. It had to map out a
campaign of study, and there was no
way of telling how long It might be
before the study would i>crmit of the
laying down of rules. Every one
knows that the bureau Is far more eftl
cient than It was. It Is getting the
hang of the weather, lerrnlng its mul
titudinous tricks, its coyness and
treachery. It Is in tit m nature of the
case a slow affair.? Toledo Blade.
Not to Be Deceived.
"John," she asked after she had fin
lshed packing her trunk, "will you re
member to water the flowers In the
porch boxes every day?"
"Yes, dear. I'll see , that they are
properly moistened regularly."
"And the rubber plant in the dining
room. You know it will have to be 1
sprayed about three times a week."
"I'll remember it"
"I'm afraid you'll forget the canary
and let the poor little thing starve."
"Don't worry about the bird. dear.
I'll take good care of him."
"But I feel sure you'll forget about
keeping the curtains drawn so that
things won't all be faded out when I
get back."
"Don't give yourself a moment's un
easiness about the curtains. I'll keep
the house as dark as a tunnel."
"John, I'm not going. You have
some reason for being anxious to get
rid of me."? Chicago Record- Herald.
