S jmk persons live in a perpetual state of fret. The weather is alwavs objectionable; the temperature Is never satisfactory. They have too much to do and are drben to death, or too little, and have no resources. If they are ill, they know they shall never get well; if they are well, tbey expect soon to be M Their daily work is either drudgery, which they hate, or so dlttcuit and complex that they cannot execute it. In contrast to these we sometimes meet with men and women so bright and cheery that their very presence is a positive pleasure. They discover the favor able side of the weath r, of the busi-, ness, of home surroundings of social relations, even of political affairs. Ttaejr will tell you of all the pleasant things that happen, and give voice to all the Joy they feel, of course they are sometimes annoyed and worried by petty troubles but the very effort tbey make to pass them over silently diminishes tbeir un- pleasant effect upon themsel.es, and preveots the Influence from extend lot A Disfatch from Row Main eu fort the fact that at the fortneom. tag saswtofl of the Chamber of Iepu. tic Uto fMMltel ftaaiton, M usual, vUl be Um tetrat I a problem.

Did you ever hear of a squatting mule? asked a prominent coal op erator. Veil, 1 don't blame wj for not knowing what I mean, for, after fifteen years' experience in the busi ness I did not know of such a mule i.ntiJ recently. One o our men sent me word that on one ot the working there was a steep Incline over which it was difllcult for the men to push the cars. Try a mule, said I. io reply he stated he bad purchased a squatting mule. In mines tt means a good deal of money U get a mule that can do the work. .and at the same time small enough to walk through the low workings of th mine. Sometimes for hundreds of feet the tunnels will le high enough to allow a mule to walk through them: then at some points trie cell ing may get so low that the mule cannot crawl under it. Now to make the passageway high enough for the ruu.e would entail a great expense. But a squatting mule obviates this by crouching down when it gets to the low places, adapting Itself to the beightof the tunnel as much as pos sible So a squatting mule to miners is much more expensive than one that is not so trained. t-'oanriat Ion of a Fortune.

The forc ttiat sne, too, will be willing to I all in ; with Hie new plan, though it witl neces-1 sitate an entire change In its aealings with the Dominion and an Important international agreement. The plan in brief is this: Tbat the United State and the Dominion of Canada shall en ter into an agreement whereby the lat ter snail cd to the former tbe con tinual right to us all its canals fr m the seas to tbe lakes for all Teasels, commercial arid naval, free of all tolls, provided the United States will as sume the expense and maintenance and repair to the system, the agree ment to be ratified by tbe British par liament and the queen. THINKS THE TLAN IS POOIl. . Wet Sitkjuor, Wis., Nov. 22. Tbe secretray of the executive board in the northern deep water association, Frank A. Flower, in relation to the dis patch ent out from Minneapolis re garding the scheme for using the Can adian ship caaal, said: "As far a we know the vessel owners have made no such move. Our association, composed almost equally of Americans and Cana dians, is working to have the two coun tries unite on an equitable basis to con struct ship channels from the great lake to ths sea one via the St. Law rence and one via the Hudson river to New York, making two outlets from the lakes to the Atlantic and making seaport of ail lake ports. The Cana dian have the only canal around Niagara falls, tho Welland canal. Here tofore e .have had the only locks around the Soo, bat the Canadians have just completed a lock on their own soil around the Falls of St. Mary and next season they wilt use it a 'id caa then, as they have heretofore, impose restric tions on the use of (heir canals to and Jn the St. Lawrence by American ve sels. ""Ve hope before there shall be any Cor.flict to have come before congress aud parliament a complete report on the entire subject from an interna tional, llnancial as well as engineering standpoint, the canal or canals to the sea to be free and neutral, a part of the high seas. In fact, the cost of construc tion and maintenance to be borne in equitable pruportlpn according to pop ulation or commerce by other nations. Tbe alleged s'eps by the ship owners, I think, is wholly mythical, as many mall owners are opposed to deep chan nels and big locks everywhere, believ ing' such improvements would permit the constantly eultrgiug craft to drive tbe smaller ones out of business. All tbe owners of big vessels favor the plan, but not on any such absurd basis as Is alleged in tbe Minneapolis dis patch. There will be a meetinif of the executive board in Chicago next week, at which there may be further develop ments." Mtd 1 hair ICrptvrl. White Bihcii, Wis., Nov. 22.-The engineers sent out by Major Kesri of Dulutb under congressional authority to make a preliminary survey of a route for the proposed twtuty tivo-7ooT ship canal from Lakejiuertor through this town to the MTssissippi river near 8u Paul orliuneapoiis fiAve coinplIed their work. Their report will be for wardedto Major Searj and then to the ecreiaryof war" and itU expected will be laid by him before congress In his annual report next mmith. This sur vey, for which congress appropriated 10,000, has developed several new facts. Heretofore the tbeorr has been to erect a dam so as to raise the level of the upper St. Croix lake 14 feet in order to obtain a supply of water for the operation of the locks. This would add still another lock. Tbe en gineers have discovered that by dredg ing o as to lower this lake eighteen inches a level gtrereh of water twentv- four mile in length can be obtalned.l The total length or th proposed canal is about 112 miles. Tbe total cost has not yet buen estima'ed. but it is thought it will not exceed 9UO,000,000. InaopH K. f uinixtt Wfddvd. Uavknpokt. Ia., Fov. 22. Joseph K.

A rescue party consisting of Ceorge lienbow, Nick Kemis, John Muter, Jo'tn Stewart and William Davis volunteered and went in after the bodies and brought them out.
