A long time ago there lived a poor shoe-maker, with his wife and child, just outside a great forest. Now, the child, whose name was Hans, was not like other children. He was cot much more than a foot high, and he could run as fast and jump as high as any hare in the forest. One day his mother went oat into the meadow to cut gTass for the cow and took little Hans with her. She put him in a nice, sunny place, and, giving him some flowers, told him to stay there while sh went about her work. As he was sitting there, playing with the flowers, two little hares came hopping up, says the JtaU and Express. 'AVhat a strange hare that is sitting over there," said one, pointing with his toward paw Hans. "Can you jump?" asked the other. Hans laughed as he thought of how he had jumped in and out of his father's boots. serve the rales of the school than the other," was the answer. "Well," said the lawyer, "if at the end of the yej- - one boy has nut gone ahead of tha other, send them to me and I will decide be-tween them." As belore, at the closing examinations the boys stood equal in attainments. They were directed to call at the lawyer's office, no information being given as to the object of the visit. Two intelligent, well-bre- d boys they seemed, and the lawyer was beiuning to wonder how he should chooss between t.hem. Just then the door opened, and an elderly lady of peculiar appearance entered. She was well known as being of unsettled mind and possessed f the idea that she had been deprived of a large fortune which waa Justly hers. As a consequence she was in the habit of visiting lawyer' offices carrying in her hands a package of papers which she wished examined. She was a familiar visi-tor to this office, where she was always re-ceived with respect and dismissed with kind-ly promises of help. This morning, seeinsr that the lawyer was already occupied with others, she seated herself to await his leisure. Unfortunately, and hopped on bauds and feet just as the lit-tle hares had done. "You must be one of us,1" said the little hares, as they eyed Hans curiously when he jumped and bopped in real rabbit fashiou on the grass. "Come and play with us," they said. So all the long afternoon they frolicked and chased one another, going farther into the forest all the time. By and by they came to the bush where the Hare family lived. "Who is that with you?" asked the Papa Hare. "This is a little strange hare we met in the meadow," replied the little ones. "No," said the mamma hare, "that is a little child. Ho has probably strayed from his mother, who, by this time, is worryiug about him. It is too late to take him home now, so he must stay here tonight and to-morrow we will take him back to the mea-dow." So they ate their supper of hares' bread and clover and went to bed. But before Hans fell asleep the Mamma Hare put a warm, soft hare's coat on him so that he should not take cold. "Now you look just like one of my little ones," said she. "If I did not know bolter, I should think you were a little hare." Bright and early the next morning Hans and tne hares went to the meadow. They found his mother and father already there, hunting for him and calling, "Hans, little the chair she selected waa broken and had been set aside as useless. The result was that she fell in a rather awkward manner, scattering her papers about the floor. The lawyer looked with a quick eye at the boys, before moving him-self., to sea what they would do. Charles Hart, after an amused survey of the fail, turned aside to hide a laugh he could not control. Henry Strong sprans to the woman's side and lifted her to her feet. Then, carefully gathering up her papers, he politely handed them to her. Her profuse and ramblintc thanks served only to increase Charles' amusement. After the lady had told her customary story, to which the lawyer listened with every appearance of attention, he escorted her lo the door and she departed. Then he returned to the boys and, after expressing pleasure at having formed their acquaintance, he dismissed them. The next day the teacher was informed of the occur-renc- e, and told that the scholarship would be given to Henry Strong, with the remark: "No one so well deserves to be iitted for a position of honor and influence as he who feels it his duty to help trie humblest and the lowliest."

But the help had come too late; the un-happy brother waa already staggering in humiliation from the stage. The band quickly struck up, and wave of lively music were rolled out to cover the defeat. I gave the sUtr a glance in which I meant to show the intense sympathy which I felt, hut she did not see. iler eyes, swim-ming with tears, were on her brother's face. I put my arms around her. She was too absorbed to feel the caress, and before I could appreciate her purpose sue was on her way to the shame-tricke- n young man, sit-ting with a face like a statue's. When he saw her by his side the set face relaxed and a quick mist came into his eyes. The youug meu fjot closer toteiiicr to make room for her. Sbe sat down beside him, laid her flowers on his knee and slipped her hand in his. I could not keep my eyes from her sweet, pitying face. I saw her whisper lo him, he beudiu a little to catch her words. Later I found out that she was asking him if he knew his "piece" now, and that Le answered yes. When the yountr man next on the list had spoken, end while the band was playing, the ihild, to the brother's great surprise, made hor way up the stage steps, and pressed through the thronsr of professorr and trustees and distinguished visitors, up to the college president. "If you please, sir," she said with a little Hans, where art thou?" "Here I am," cried little Hans, running to them. "This cannot be our Hans. Oh, no; this is a young hare." "But I am your Hans," laughed he, jump-ing into his father's arms. "But these good hares, who have taken care of me during the night, gave me this hare's coat." "The good, kind hares P exclaimed the shoemaktr. "What can we do to reward them?" "You can, if you will," replied the Papa Hare, "protect us from the fox and the hunter." "We will try to," said the shoemaker, shaking hands with the Papa Hare. A few days later there was a knock at the door, and when the shoemaker opened it the fox sprang in. "Good morning, Mr. Fox," said the shoe-maker. ''What can we do for you ?" "Make me a good pair of shoes," said the fox. "I am going to hunt some hares, and I can't run fast enough in my old ones." So the shoemaker made him a pair of boots very clumsy and tight. They hurt Mr. Fox's feet so much that he could not run at all in them. The shoemaker bad put pitch Into each of the boots, so that once on they could not be drawn oft. "Now, friend Fox," thought the good shoemaker, "you can't do much mischief to-day." Not very much later the Papa Hare came running in. "Oh." cried he, breathlessly, "the hunter is after me !" ta..'ck" said Hans' mother, "hide in the bed." " Then she dressed Hans in his hare's coat. Hardly had she done so when the hunter strode in. "Where is the hare that just now ran into yonr house?' be asked. "Hare?" said the shoemaker. "Now you must mean my little Hans, who wears, as you see, a hare's coat." "I thought he was a hare," said the hun-ter, "and almost shot him. How will I ever enterea it, rawer taroy. r muinc ice caoice seats in the center of the audience room al-ready taken, I pressed onward, looking To the right and to the left for a vacancy. On the very front row of the seats I found one. Here a little girl moved along to make room for me, looking into my face with large eray eyes, whose brightness was soft-ened by very long lashes. Her face was open and fresh as a newly-blow- n rose before sunrise. Again and again I found my eyes turning to the rose-lik- e face, and each time the gray eyes moved, half-smilin- to meet mine. Evidently the child was ready to "make up" with me. And when, with a brizht smile, she returned my dropped hand-kerchief, we seemed fairly introduced. Other persons, now coming into the seat, crowded me quite close up against the little girl, bo that we soon felt very well acquainted. "There's going to be a great crowd," she said to me. "Yes," I replied, "people like to see how schoolboys are made into men." Her face beamed with pleasure and pride as she said: My brother's going to graduate; he's go-in- j; to speak; I've brought these flowers to throw to him." They were not greenhouse fayorites; just oldfashioned domestic flowers, such as we associate with the dear old grandmothers; "but," I thought, "they wiil seem sweet and beautiful to him for his little sister's sake." "That is my brother," she went on, point-ing with her nosegay. "The one with the light hair?" I aiksd. "Oh no," she said smiling and shaking her head in innocent reproof; "not that homely one with red hair; that handsome one with brown wavy hair. His eyes look brown, too; but they are not thsy are dark blue. There! he's got bis hand up to his bead now. You see him, don't you." In an eager way she looked from me to him, as if some important fate depended up-on my identifying him. "I see him," I said, "he's a very good-lookin- g brother." "Yes, he's beautiful," she said with art-- courtesy, "will you ana the trustees let my brother try again? lie knows his 'piece' now." For a moment the president stared at her through his gold-bowe- d spectacles, and then, appreciating; the child petition, he 6m. led on her and then went down and spoke to the youne: man who had failed. Si it happened when the band had again ceased playing, it was briefly announced that Mr. would now deliver his ora-tion, "Historic Parallels." " 'Amid the permutations and combina-tion- s of the actor aud the forces which " This tho li'.tle sister whispered to him as he rose to answer the summons. A ripple of heightened and expectant in' tcrest passed over the audience, and then all sat stone stiil, as though fearing to breathe lest the speaker might again take fright. No danger. The hero in the youth was arouted. He went at his "piece" with a set purpose to conquer, to redeem himself, and to bring back the smile to the child's tear-staine- d face. I watched the face dur-ing the speaking The wide eyes, the parted lip, the whole rapt being said that the breathless audience was forgotten, that her spirit w as moving with his. And when the address was ended with the ardent abandon of one who catches enthusi-asm in the realization that he is fighting down a wrong judgment and conquering a sympathy, the effect was really thrilling. The dlgnified audience broke into rapturous applause; bouquets, intended for the valedic-torian, rained like a tempest. And the child who had helped to save the day that one beaming little face, in its pride and gladness, is something to be forever remembered. Children at the World's Fair. Everyone who has attended great exposi-tions knows that the unusual strain of keep-ing on the feet sightseeing hours at a time is extremely fatiguing, especially to women , and children, who are least accustomed to such exercise. The woman's board of man-agers has thoughtfully undertaken to pro-vide a children's home within the grounds, In which tired women may rest without cost I and where children can be left with safety I either to sleep or to plav while their mothers Visit the departments. As no money was provided in any of th general funds for such a building as this, it is being constructed by voluntary contri-butions. An appeal has beeu sent to the schools throughout the country asking from the school children the trifling sum of from 1 to 10 cents each to be used tor build-ing the children's home. It will be a grace-ful as well as a practical service from the childhood of the country to contribute to-ward this excellent purpose. Contributions may also be sent by any others who sympa-thize with the object in view. Mrs. Georgo L.

"Whenever you see a hare call out, and if he stsnds up and does not run away, you will know it it is Hans," said the mother. The hare, who overheard this, ever after that stood still and did not run away when he heard the hunter, and as his other en-emy, the fox, was soon after shot, he was safe to go where he winhed. And Hans never forgot the hares. Even when he grew to be a man he fed and sheltered them in winter, while they, in return fo his kind-ness, brought him hares' bread, and at Easter they filled a nest with red and blue and yellow eggs. THE TEST. How a Bright Scholar Won a Collagiat Education. The principal of a school in which boys were prepared for college one day received a message from a lawyer living in the same town, requesting him to call at his office as he wished to have a talk with him. Arrived at the office, the lawyer stated that he had in his gift a scholarship entitling it boy to a four years' course in a certain col-lege, and that he wished to bestow it where it would be best used. "Therefore," he continued, "I have con-cluded to let you decide which boy of your school most deserves it." ' "That is a hard question to decide," re-plied the teacher thoughtfully. "Two of my pupils Charles Hart and Henry Strong will complete the course of study In my school this year. Both desire a collegiate education, and neither is able to obtain it without assistance. They are so nearly equal that I cannot tell which is the better scholar." "How is it as to deportment?" asked the lawyer. "One boy does cot more scrupulously ob- - less aeugnt, - ana ne s gooa, snu ue eiuuies so hard. He has taken care of me ever since mamma died. Here is his name on the pro-gramme. He is not the valedictorian, but he has an honor for all that." I saw in the little creature's familiarity with these technical college terms that she had closely identified herself with her broth-er's studies, hopes and successes. "He thought at first," she continued, "that he would write on 'The Romance of Monastic Life.' " What a strange sound these long words had whispered from her childish lips! Her in-terest in her brother's work had stamped them on the child's memory, and to her they were ordinary things. "But then," she went on, "he decided that he would rather write on 'Historical Paral-lels,' and he's got a real good oration, and he says it beautifully. He has said it to ms a great many times. I 'most know it by heart. Oh! it begins so pretty and so grand. This is the way it begins," she added, en-couraged by the interest ah must have seen in my face: VAmid the permutations and combinations of the actors and the forces which make up the great kaleidoscope of history, we often find a turn of Destiny's hand. " "Why, bless the baby!" I thought, looking down into her proud face. I can't describe how very odd and elfish it did seem to have those sonorous words rolling out of the smiling infantile mouth. The band striking up put an end Xo the quotation and to the confidences. As the exercises progressed and ap-proached nearer and nearer the effort on which all her interest was concentrated, my little friend became excited and restless. Her eyes grew larger and brighter, two deep red spots glowed on her cheeks. She touched up the flowers, manifestly making the offering ready for the shrine. "Now it's his turn," she said, turning to me a face in which pride and delight and anxisty seemed equally mingled. But when the overture was pisyed through, and his More miner are now employed on the ST. LAWHKStCE MINK than at any previous time in the history of its operation.

A good gold mine or group of properties CAJf'T SCFFEtt FROM COPETITIOX. Stock in such a corporation that wisely and judiciously administers on such a property is as good a form of investment as can be found anywhere. The public begin to see it in that light, too. What the effect will be with the changed conditions of the hydraulic mining industry in California remains to be seen. Under the recent decision of Judge Gil-bert, of the United States cireuit.court, the old Sawyer decision that prohibited hydrau-lickin- g has been set aside. Hydraulic mines can now be worked again in California, under proper restric-tions, and such as the miners themselves are willing to adopt. Attention will naturally be attracted to California once more as a field for invest-ment. There are scores if not hundreds of mines that can be worked there now. Owing to their long neglect, numerous improvements and repairs will be necessary, and outside njure the streams and rivers of the slate and the farming lands lying adjacent to these rivers and streams, they may use the hydraulic system of mining; but, unless this can be and is done, the United States will prevent them by legal process from carrying on hydraulic mining. As previously pointed out in The Mining Age, this is exactly what the miners have contended for and what they were willing to do. They are insured by the decisions of Judge Gilbert practically that for which con-gressional sanction was asked in the Canii-net- ti bilL The North Bloomfleld is the biggest hy-draulic mine in California and for that rea-son the company that owns it, was chosen in the original debris suit that was made a test case. It was in that that the Sawyer de-cision was given. In this recent action on which Judsre Gilbert passed, the use of the name of the government was given as plaintiff. The substance of JUDGE DECISION is contained in the following and conclud-ing paragraph: "The danger to be apprehended from the operation of the North Bloomfleld mine. The big nt shaft of the great Anacoi-d-a mine reached the 1100-fo-level the first of the week. Sinking will go on to the 1500 mark. Next week a station will be cut on the 1100. The shaft is 10x22 feet, outside measurement. Great saving in power will be made by a change just made in the method of pump-ing water out of the mine. A lift of 300 feet will be avoided. This is accomplished by running a tunnel on the 300 level, through which the discharge pipes of the pumps are being placed. Discharge is made into a ditch that empties into a creek near the Parrot smelter. Another engine, the size of the monster in use on the Anaconda, has been ordered and is to be set up at thu Never Sweat miiie, that belongs to the Anaconda people. That will drive ttie machinery to be required in open-ing up the property, development of which is to be pushed. The Never Sweat shaft has reached the 500 level and sinking for another 100 feet, will go forward, when a 6tation is UTAH WEEKLY REVIEW. Little doing in stocks. Nobody wants to sell at prices offered; buyers willing to pay just so much and no more. No movement worthy of mention. Several deals consummated during the week of a private character; details not for the public. More investigators returned from Salmon River country; believed to have obtained options. Complaint is still made that good proposi-tions, or promising properties, are held at prices beyond all reason. One broker has been offering for several months to erect a twenty-stam- p mill, or one of any number for that matter, on a gold property for a controlling interest. No takers. 8eems like this depression in mining had come to stay, unless some outsiders can be interested who are willing to take chances. Another Salmon River deal is said to have beeu made. It may turn out like all the rest, though sellers are said to have eome here for their money. M'hen the suggestion was made Id these columns a few weeks since that opportuni-ties for mining operations on a large scale and on an industrial plan would some time come to be regarded with favor by capital-ists, adverse comment was aroused. Such projects were characterized by some operators as visionary. That the occasion for launching euch schemes was anticipated as being remote was conceded. The contrary proves to he the case. While it would be a betrayal of confidence to make public even the locality in which such operations are contemplated, it is a Jact that several Hid KXTEUPUJSES ARE PROJECTED. There is good reason for believing that the plans will be consummated. No more of the details than this can at present be revealed that agents of capital-ists have for some time been engaged iu ob-taining options and leases on a i; re.it number help will be needed by the miners. After years of enforced idleness and loss of revenue from their properties owners are likely to be DISPOSED TO OFFER INDUCEMENTS of a much more allering character. Until hydra ulicking was abridged by state laws and practically stopped by order of the court, this branch of the mining industry was a favorite with foreign investors. Vast sums of money were obtained for such works. History is likely to repeat itself, for there Is something about mining in California that possesses a sort of fascination to the foreigner, who wouldn't consider invest-ments in the newer states and territories. Repeated reference has bten made to the dangers resultant from the unreasonable ad- - vance in the price of gold propositions since silver mining began to labor under such de-pressing conditions. Mine and claim own- - wiia us impounding reservoirs as construetea and used, and intendedHo be used, is so re-mote and improbable that the court is not justified in enjoinius the use of the property and thereby interdicting a valuable industry. In arriving at this conclusion, I am not un-mindful of the great damage to navigation that has heretofore resulted from the deposit of mining debris, nor cf the important in-terests that are involved, but I am convinced that in the case of this particular mine the contingency has arisen that was contem-plated iu the decision of this court in the mining-diibri- s cases, in providing that the decree might hereafter be modified upon a showing to the court that a plan to obviate the injuries had been successfully executed."

One of the most complete and among the largest concentrators in tho Coeur d'Alene will be that of the Morning mine at Mullan, that will be finished in November. It is be-ing built in duplicate and each half will have a daily capacity of 150 to 300 tons of ore. A large new flume for the waste water ia completed, and the iron piping that fur-nishes water for the motive power are being laid. A perpendicular fall of 900 feet guar-antee- s a sufficient force for all purposes that will be required. A narrow gauge railroad will replace the old aerial tramway, two miles or mora long, that proved unsatisfactory. The railroad winds around the hillside to the mine, a dis- - fm. nf fhrnn Tnilfs. wif.h (rrailaj bi htcri ao of mining claims, some partially developed and others already on a prpduetive basis, in a certain district not very remote from Salt Lake. s Secrecy has been observed and the real object of this wholesale corraling of proper-ties concealed. Otherwise, the aims of the projectors miifht be thwarted, either by ad-vance in prices, or through interference of speculators. Wheu everything is in readiness, the min-ing world will be treated to a sensation. A district that has been, to a certain extent, abandoned or neglected by capital will bound to the front. One of these enterprises, at least, is a sure winner. If that works well, we shall see the num-ber of similar projects multiplied on paper, if in no other formative stage. New York advices point to a speedy and ACTIVE INTEREST IX MINING MATTERS bo soon as the pending presidential canvass shall be over. That gigantic mining and industrial en-terprise iu the state of Washington, that is being carried through by the Colby-Ho- yt . syndicate of New York will servo to popu-larize this new system of mining. So fsr no effort has been made to float bends or stock of that Monte Cristo scheme. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been advanced for a railway, reduction works and other things, that form part and parcel of the enterprise. Contracts have been made involving an expenditure of sev-eral millions, and yet not a dollar of .the stock has been put on the market. . This either shows that those who are back of the scheme have plenty of money of their own that they are willing to invest in that sort of business, else are confident that they know where to get it when needed. . Whit the public wants now is safe invest-ment. That is why they subscribe so read-ily to the stock of wallpaper trusts, whisky pools and typefounders' trust. ers have missed good sales through this in-flation. Down on the Colorado river some activity was anticipated in working placers. A Den-ver syndicate got hold of a lot of ground through Cass Ilite, who has just been con-victed of murder. His imprisonment may have no effect on the plans of the company he represented. Other prospective purchasers or leasers of ground were frightened off by exorbitant prices. They may go to California, as an-other Denver syndicate did that bought some old bars in Trinity county. The importance of this new era for hy-draulicing in California should not be be-littled. The placers of that state used to turn out t3,000,000 a year, and were a favor-ite investment. Now that they can be worked again capital will be sought. Inter-est in California quartz mines will no doubt be awakened. Taking all into consideration our miners can't afford to be greedy, else they will miss the main chance. Geokgb F. Caxis. Salt Lake, Oct. 15. HYDRAULICJMNERS WIN. San Francisco. Oct 10. Hydraulic miners of California have regained some of their rights. During the lifetime of Judge Sawyer, un-der whose iniquitous decision most of the mines were closed down, the' hydrauiickers expected no relief from the courts. They appealed to congress, and had hopes that the Caminetti" bill, that passed the house of representatives last July, would meet with favorable action in the senate. To that end they had intended to make of the miners' convention, that is to convene next month, a grand demonstration. Plumas, Sierra and Nevada counties, where most of the hydraulicing was for-- to this kind of mining, has now been re-moved by the Gilbert decision. These engineers reported that hydraulic-ing could not go on under decisions that made it illegal to discolor river waters. Judge Gilbert disposed of this question by saying that tbeevidcnce in the case goes to prove that this discoloration of the water was caused by light, fine clay of a specific gravity yery little greater than water that will remain in suspense as long as the water moves with a velocity of a mile in two hours Therefore, it is not likely to do any damage. MINING MATTERS IN MONTANA. Butte. Owinsr to alack of ore, the concentrator of the Butte reduction works has closed down. But it will be started up again in a week or so, when the new hoist on the Parrot Colusa mine is finished. That property will keep the concentrator going. Hutte & Boston Company is running its smelter at full blast and is said to be clearing about $ 40,000 a month. The company intends to purchase more I mining trround that includes the Snohomish : Rarus, Never Despair and Tramway, four claims located in the center of the copper belt near Meaderville. All will be taken up about the middle of November, an extension of time having been given in which to con-summate the deal. La Platte mine, at the south end of the Lexington mill, that is being worked by leasers, had a cave-i- n last week that threat-ened to undermine part of the tracks of the i cable road. It is believed that no further i damage will occur, as that portion of the j underground workings ia filled up with waste. But the Ccntreville school was be- - lieved at one time to be in peril. J Only a sinking crew is employed on the Mountain Con mine, on which the shaft has seven per cent, and several switchbacks to aid in gaining the necessary elevation to reach the mine. Eight iron cars of special construction, each holding seven or eigh tons of ore, will convey the ore to the bins. The railroad will be finished within a few days. Both the mine and mill of the High Grade company at Mullan are to be started up again shortly. The delay is said to be due to improvements on the tramway and other outside adjuncts. A force of 80 or 90 men is to be employed, and the mill will turn out fifteen tons of concentrates daily. Negotiations are said to be about com-pleted for the SALE OF THE SILVER KINO GROUP near Wardner. The properties were exam-ined for New York capitalists by George H. Robinson of the Drumlummon mine. He spent ten days at the mines, and is reported as expressing himself favorably upon them. The Silver King is situated on the same great vein as the Bunker Hill and Sullivan, Last Chance, Sierra Nevada and others. Considerable work has been done on it, and some hand-assorte- ore shipped. If the deal is made the property will pass into the hands of men able to operate it, as the only way in ; which it can be made t? pay is by the use of large capital and an extorsive plan. Preparations are goingi at the Sierra Nevada for extensive "de xViments. ' tofore .the company 'at-jtn-r "T i"fie t t7 ' certain ground byTeaeouHof an inji nction from the United States court by the wners of the Apex. All this has been set asi Je and the property will be worked on a more exten--! eive scale. Governor Willey recently stated tiat be did not know when he would revoke his i proclamation declaring Shoshone county un-- ; der martial law. The military control of ' the county did not in any way Interfere with I the rights of any law-abidi- citizen, and only two companies of soldiers are eta- - tioned in the Cceur d'Alene region. There is uo reason why money can'.t be as judiciously invested in mining operations if properly eouducted. Whee mining and milling operations and the transportation of ores cau be conducted on a large scale, as at Monte Cristo, plenty of money cau be com-manded. This new form of industrials will be greedily taken up. To what extent CAPITALISTS CHANGE THEIR METHODS and form of investment can be judged from the following financial review for New York, from the United States Investor: "All things seem to indicate that we are on the verge of what will eventually be a revolution iu stock exchange circles. The industrials are daily growing in prominence, and dur.ng tho paet week they, have surely been o.ie of the leading features. When you enumerate feugar, cordage, lead, gas, gen- eral electric, toiiaeco, cotton oil, whisky and others you have a formidable array. Do they offer inducements to investor a com. pared with railway securities? When you consider that monopoly is the characteristic ot oue and competition of tho other, there can be bat little hesitation in the reply.
