The Quartsburg district In the East enr?Kon gold belt is reported unusual ly lively. , About 60 men are employed In developing the Badger mine.

What would you do If you lost your eyesight? ..... It la a. .question that deals with man's resources within himself,9 with his Power to work and remain a useful member of society under conditions that naturally breed sorrow. Millionaire Rouse In Now York recently offered $1,000,000 for a pair of eyes, and died wtttjotit them. For years . bis one pitiful ory was: "Take my fortune and give me light." Omnr Schober of Detroit passed two years of sorrow and died. He entered his home one' day and began ' lighting matches In the basement, thinking night had come. The flame burned his fingers, but he saw no light. He was blind. This Aan's life- depended, on his sight, lie had some wealth and a fine business, hut lacked that mysterious something that keeps the heart young even when 'disaster comes. - A musician, he laid away his violin and closed tbe piano. He eared no more for flowers or children, He was moody and irritable. His only solace was to enter his printing house and listen to the rum ble ot the presses. He endured his sor row two years, and death was not un welcome. ", But (here are men who : suffer and smile. They say: "Life Is good, and I'll do my best to make sunshine If t cannot see It. I'll take th taiitga-that nature1 has left me and make the best of them.'? Hubert L. Plerson,' president of the Second National Bank ot Orange,' N. J., and manufacturer of renown,, has. been totally blind for 14 years. He never lost a minute repining when the trouble came, but set himself to work to show how much a blind man can do, . and suc ceeded. At Tomah, Wis., lives Xugene U Hitch, cock. He's blind, and has been a travel lng'man for 35 yeurs. He Is the only blind traveling man In the 'world, It in said, and his life is a lesson In courage and devotion to duty. ' Me' doesn't like a, martyr or parade his affliction. He works and refuses to worry, which is the secret of happiness. There are thousands of brave but af flclted men and women In this country who( are cheerful breadwinner under circumstances that oall for a wonderful type of courage. When you see them working, laughing, planning and hoping in their world of perpetual darkness, don't, forget to be thankful for your own sound body, and lend a helping hand when you can.
