[Copyright, 1J09. by American Press Asso

Sam Culklus was strapped. There
was no doubt whatever about his
Quanelul coudltiou. It was 2 cents lu
haud-llterally lu baud, for be was
looking at the copper coins lugubrious
ly, remembering at the same time that
there was not even a crust of bread In
the house for his wife and two little
children, lie bad taken a chair on the
porch of the Sandwich hotel because
chairs there were free and he dldn t
belong anywhere. Sam was a miner
aud had worked lu many mines, lie
hau been caught In a labor storm with
the result of loss of employment. Ills
savings were all gone, there was no
prospect of work where he was, aud
he had no means of taking himself
and his family anywhere else.
Two men were sitting at the other
end of the porch talking together ex
citedly. though lu a low tone. Calkins
heard the word "strike" aud. suppos
ing It referred to labor matters lu
which he was Interested, be (tricked up
his ears and soon discovered that they
referred to a strike of paying ore In
some mine the name of which they
did not mention. One of the men took
a package from his pocket? the wrap
per was a piece of newspaper? and,
unrolling It. showed his companion
specimens of ore. Calkius caught the
words "six huudrod to the ton." This
told him that the specimens mention
ed assayed to produce this amount out
of a ton of ore. After passing the sam
ples back and forth for awhile, they
were rolled again lu the bit of news
paper. and the man who had produced
them put them again lu his pocket.
Soou after both men arose aud went
away.
Calkins would have goue away, too.
If he had had any place to go. But
he hadn't. Being restless, he got up
aud walked over to the other eud of
the porch. In n chair in which one
of the men had been sitting he noticed
a little dark lump about the size of a
hickory nut. Taking it up. he looked
at It scrutlnizlngly.
"If the Constant vein .hadn't ruu
out." he remarked to himself, "I'd
swear the chunk came out of It."
J It was a brownish quartz and full
of gold. Calkins had worked In the
Constant miue. which had proved In
constant. While there he had taken
out Just such ore as this. But he had
seen the vein grow narrower and nar
rower till It was nothing more than
a crack. The mine, after a search for
a reopening of the vein, had been aban
doned. and Calkins bad gone to work
elsewhere. Personally he believed
that If the vein ..-ere followed deep
enough It might be found to reopen.
But the stockholders were discouraged
and would not stand assessment. Sud
denly It occurred to Calkius that the
vein had been followed and paying ore
again struck. Then came the quick
thought. "Can I. with only 1! cents In
the world, profit by what I suspect ir
It is true?"
He went Into the hotel, where a
printed list of quotations of mining
stocks was hanging on the wall, and
glanced at sales of Constant. There
were sales at 0 cents a share. The
I stock had recently stood at 4 cents.
| Theu Calkins walked up the street to
; the office of a man of the name of
Fisher, whom he knew held some of
the shares.
"I've got some information," said the
miner. "l>o you want It or shall I
take it elsewhere?"
"I'm your man."
"What'Il you give?"
"Ten per cent of tbe prolit."
"Make it 2u and I'll out with It."
"All right. 20 It Is."
Calkins produced his chunk of ore
and told Fisher that It hiul come out
of the Constant mine. Fisher asked
how he knew it, but Calkins declined
to satisfy him. He felt sure that If
his uiau knew he was guessing the
transaction would end then and there.
Fisher had that morning sold part of ;
i his stock at C cents n share. lie sent '
In an order to buy It back and 10,000
shares more at the market price. He
got 1,000 at 0. 2.000 at CMi and the bal
ance at figures rising by fractions till
the price paid was 7% cents. The
sales were larger than for many
months, but uot considerable.
Calkins wished to ask Fisher for a
little money In advance to buy a sup
per for his family, but dared not lest
he .should lead him to suspect that the
whole affair was simply a game to
beat him out of a paltry sum. So great
was his suspense that he preferred to
keep away from home. lie was bang
ing between heaven and hell.
The next morning when he turned
out of an outhouse where he had
slept he spent his 2 cents for a paper.
There in big headlines he saw the an
nouncement that the Constant vein
had been recovered richer and broader
thau before. When the Mining Ex
change opened the stock went up to
$o a share and stayed there. Before
noon Fisher gave bis informant a
check for $12,000.
Fortune had favored the man whose
capital was but 2 cents. Those in tbe
secret had bought up what stock they
wanted at private sale, knowing that
If they all went into the exchange to
gether they would advance the price.
When Calkins went home loaded
with good things he found his wife
crying, his children clamoring for
something to eat. Ills bankbook dried
his wife's tears, and his bundles stop
ped Ills children's clamor.

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
HAVE you heard of the wonderful
onu hoss shay
Whoso sine qua nunquam? so to
say
Was cradled ut Cambridge, U. S.
A..
Exactly u hundred years today?
Why. the one hoss shay that he told us
about
Was his very own picture out and out.
For his style, and you know the style's
the man.
Was built with the very same poise of
plan.
For his heart and his head had an equal
share.
And his wit and his sense made a perfect
pair.
And 'twas lust as your taste and fancy
chose
Which you thought better, his verso or
prose.
And his whimsical learning. Just a touch.
And his sentiment, never a tear too much,
In his humor were set In so clever a way
That he keeps as fresh as his one hoss
shay!
If you never have felt him take your hand
With the grip of a friend that can under
stand;
If you never have learned to smile and
sigh
And show you were wiping a mote from
your eye.
At the very same bits as they used to do
When poor "Little Boston" was something
new;
In short. If you don't know the one ho?s
shay.
Then the sooner the better. That's all I
say.

LET'S PRETEND.
T ETS pretend a little while
?" That the world Is managed right.
That there's little which Is vile.
That there's much to give delight.
LF.T us hopefully pretend
That the luck we have Is fair;
Let us put a sudden end
To the murmurs of despair.
LET'S pretend that what we do
Is the work we like the best;
Let's pretend the scene we view
Is of all the loveliest.
LET'S pretend we're satlslled;
Let's pretend we're brave and strong.
Maybe after we have tried
We can do It right along.

OLD GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.
HARK! 'TIs the polar star
Sings, from the zenith far,
Where the good angels are.
Near the white throne.
"Why should I only pour
Light on this golden shore?
Center of light no more
I'll shine alone.
"Up from earth's crest below.
Region of frost and snow.
Shlucth a starry glow.
Outblazlng mine.
Brighter and still more bright,
Gilding the face of night,
Glow, with resplendent light.
Those stars divine.
"Stars of the brave and free.
Greetings they wave to me
Surge rays of liberty
Heavenward tncy roll!
Bearing nloft from earth
Tidings of weight and worth,
Glad news of Joy and mirth
How sons of freedom's birth
Conquered the pole."
Proudly the nation sings:
"Hall to ye. conq'rlng kings!
A|? x of earthly things
Sought ye and found It.
Let fame your brows anoint.
We'll from earth's axis point.
Bending your compass Joint
Draw rings around It."

OUR DEEP THANKSGIVING BE.
ED of tho land and sea.
Our dcop thanksgiving be
Forever to tliee!
For thy no lenient ways
In the dead other days
We lift our worship-praise.
For all our radiant names
That history acclaims?
The deeds that now are fame's!
For failure? that which went
With some subllmo intent;
For Death's dark sacrament!
For beckoning beacon hopes
That show beyond the slopes
How wide tho future opes!
For all our land's increase
That slowly, without cease.
Man's paths trend more toward peace!
Forevermore to thee
Our deep thanksgiving be.
Lord of the land and sea!

THE GARDEN OF LOVE.
I WENT to the garden of Love
And saw what 1 never had seen.
A chapel was built in the midst,
Where 1 used to play on the green.
AND the gates of this chapel were shut
And "Thou Shalt Not" writ over the
door.
So I turned to the garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.
\ ND I saw it was (llled with graves
And tombstones where tlowers should
be.
And priests In black gowns wero walking
their rounds
And binding with briers my joys and
desires.
?William Blake.
THE PIONEERS.
A TOAST to nil the pioneers
Who press through dangers,
doubts and fears
To be with their achievements
great .
The playthings of a tricky fate
And como victorious to stand.
But enter not the promised land.
In every field of human thought
Their skirmish battles have been fought.
They are the scouts who forward go
And draw the tire of all the foe.
Their failures are our beacon lights
And their successes point our heights.
Their names are not on any tongue.
They seldom hear their glories sung.
Rebuffs are theirs Instead of praise. .
The later comers wear their bays.
No costly piles surmount their bones.
Their monuments aro stepping stones.

After reading the public statement
of this fellow-sufferer given below,
you must come to this conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ago,
which has kept the kidneys in good
health since, can be rolled upon to
perform tho same work in other cas
es. Read this:
R. C. Fenton, 3005 N. Cheyenne St.
Tacoma, Wash., says: "1 gave a state
mont for publication, telling of my ex
perience with Doans Kidney Pills som
years ago and I am now pleased to
confirm all 1 then said lu their favor.
I was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally 1 became so bad off that
I was obliged to give up my work.
1 had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on ono occasion I was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. The unnatural condition of
tho kidney secretions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. When I learned of Doan's Kid
ney Fills, I procured a box and be
gau their use. I felt great relief
from the first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. I
have since had no return of kidney
complaint."
