A MAN WITH AN AIN.

Give me man with an aim,
Whatever the aim may be,
Whether it's wealth or whether Its fame,
IL matters not to me.
Let him walk In the path Of right,
And keep his aim In sight,
And work and pray In faith away
With his eye on the glittering hight.
Giveme the man who says,
81 will do something well,
And make the fieeting days
A story Of labor tell"
Though the aim he has be small,
It's better than none at all;
With something to do the whole year through,
He will not stumble or fall.
But Satan weaves snare
For the feet of thosejwho stray,
With never thought Of care,
Where the path may lesd away.
The man who hath no aim
Not only leaves no name
When this LIES done, but ten to one
He leaves record of shame.

FEMALE CORRESPONDENTS.

| Kate Heath In a correspondence to the
Record Union says: 81 will tell you one little
truth. One in ten of these (the shop girls,
milliner and sewing girls of San Francisco) is
virtuous girl. She is paid 80 little that she
cannot live well on it, and it is so easy to
make money the other way" The position of
a correspondent of a newspaper Ia danger
Gus commission to give woman. Within the
past few years women correspondents have
grown into notoriety all over the United
States. They seldom rise above small retail
ers of petty gossip and their work is 80 clum-
silly performed that they require two columns
of space to tell half column of common place
facts. The paragraph quoted from Kate
Heath is a fair sample of their co npos ton.
They preface each new subject by some such
Introduction as Il will tell you one httle fact "
" Oh, by the way, | must mention, etc" "a
little thing came to my attention yesterday
which is too good to be lost. 1" Have yon
heard Of the So andso2" The allusion about
the shop girls might have been as eAsily ex-
pressed in this single sentence. The shop girls
and ,niiners of San Francisco are 80 badly
paid that not. more than one in ten is Writ nous
This is probably what Miss Heath wanted to
say, bat instead she tells us that L" one in ten
is vlrtuous and then goes on to say that ''she, "
a singular noun agreeing with the $" one in
ten " is paid so little that she cannot live on
it, and is compelled to seek an easi 4r m,thod
of making livelihood. From grammatical
standpoint, Miss Heath has announced that
there are no virtuous sewing girls in San Fran
cisco at all. 1t seems to be the prime mission
of these women correspondents to mslign their
own sex and puff dry goods stores. Most of
the spiteful, mean and libelous things said
about the gentler sex, come from the reno
nous pens of women who are allowed to write
for the press. These writer's will grovel at
the feet of popular actress who dresses far
beyond her means and is known to be a pros,
titute, and trample on the poor working girls
who are frequently compelled to accept vice
rather than starvation. Olive Logan belongs
to this same class of slushy writers and soci-
ETY. todies. Columns of gush and drivel flow
from her pen simply to tell the world that she
has spent an afternoon with some second rate
soubrette or driven through the park with
thu leading lady of a travelling combination.
Mrs. Austin of the Argona,st is the only wo-
man of any note the coast who writes
strong, original and interesting prose; that is,
stuff that is not stopping all over with drivel
and sycophancy But then her feminine ma
ture frequently comes to the surface and she
bites, but does it WELL K ate Heath should
draw her structures on the virtues of her sex

unpleasant conclusions, calling to mind the

Tine WATER LOGGED MINEs-The Virgins
City and San Francisco papers have been as
surfing the public that the water logged mines
will not be shut down and that pumping will
not be stopped Immediately. On these as
surances stock holders are called upon to take
courage. 1t would seem that to the stock
holders of these mines-run as they have been
for two years past-the news of cessation of
pumping would be received with acclimations
of delight. 1t has cost them in round num-
bers 81 800, 900 for pumping since the water
was first encountered and now the manage
ment have wisely concluded to abandon the
pumps and work the mines through the Com
bination Shaft. If there is anything more
calculated to cheer the long suffering stock
holders than this last proposition, we would
like to hear of it.

THE MINING INDUSTRY.

The Bulletin publishes a carefully prepared
fallen during the current year. This com.
prises 27S claims in California, Nevada, Idaho,
Utah, Arizona and Dakota. In many cases
only one call was made during the year. while
in others there were two, three, four and five
made. The assessment roll for the current
year is unprecedentedly large in the number
Of calls and in the aggregate amount of the
same. The amount is distributed as follows
Nevada, 81 ,404 400; California, 81 ,692 100;
Arizona. $685., 200; Dakota, $3.50, 900; Idaho,
1000; Utah, 81 900, and Wyoming, $15,-
O00 Against this may be placed the divi-
dends, as follows California, 81 ,352 $50,
and Nevada, 81, Az 800, including the lately
declared dividends of the California, Con
mines. In plain figures the dividends have
amounted to S., 40, 900, and the assessments
$i4 1927 700, Some would hold that this
shows loss of nearly SIC, 200, 900, but this is
not fair WY to put it. Although the Ar-
PEAL has of late contained some structures on
the management of mines, it is not an enemy
of the mining industry. This fourteen million
expended in prospecting and development vas
paid out for labor and thousands of poor men
were given employment. Thus while this vast
sum was distributed, OF at least circulated
s,me of it came from the pockets of the very
men who toiled-sn additional FIVE million
was added to the circulating medium of the
country, over and above all expenses and even
more, for in some cases the expenses dad
not come from the stockholders but the
money which paid for the labor was dug
out of the mines where the labor was per
formed. OF course ont of these fourteen
millions there was lost-to the stockholders
perhaps a third or nearly half through
gagrant Encouragement and positive
thieving; but the same state of affairs is
found in commercial and maritime pursuits,
and even the churches furnish their share
Of crookedness. la addition to the above
showing a vast amount of wealth is taken
out of the earth by private enterprise.
Thousands of old gold dggers and pros
pectors are toiling in the hills and streams
"lousy miners hunting for shining gold "
OF their gains and losses there is no ex-
isting record, but they come in and sell
gold at the banking houses and then dis
appear to ill the buckskin sack once more.
All the while there is a steady yield of
precious metal from the States and Terri
tories of the Pacific Coast and If it could
be kept from being gathered in by few
men, a season of prosperity would follow
the present distrust and stagnstion.

VINO WROTE TRISTAN SHANDY.-ln a
critical article in the Virginia Enterprise of
the 30th ultmo the writer, while pronounc-
ing the literary works of the late Lord
Lytton to be morbidly sensational and
ephemeral, very generously accredlts him
with the authorship of "rristram Shandy, ="
which work he excerpts from the need of ad
verse criticism dealt out unspsringly to the
other works of that author. Now, we always
thought that "Tristram Shandy' was written
by one Lawrence Sterne, an Irish humorist,
who wrote in the reign of Queen Ann, more
than a hundred years before the author of
Richelieu and Matravers was born, and We
were therefore not little astonished to be
informed that favorite classic of our great
grandfathers is the work of man who has
passed from our midst only few years ago
What makes the error of the writer still
more gross, is the fact that the style of
'fristr IN Sbandy" is so distinctly character
istic and markedly sal JcneriS as to be un-
like that of any other writer in the language,
and especially so unlike the style of anything
that Bulwer has written that no one-even
the most obtuse-who has read any of the
works of both authors could ever attribute
any of the literary productions of one to the
other There can be but one of two conclu |
sions drawn from the gushing sentimentality |
and mawkish criticisms of the "Bsevus" of the |
Enterprise. viz: that he has never read |

A SECRET OF BONAPARrE s LIpR.-The " Me-
moires de Madame R.Gnusat" Lady-n- Wait
ing to the Empress Josephine, now being pub
lished by her grandson in the Repus des Denx
Mor.des, throw fresh light on Napnleon's life
Under date of 1904, Josephine being then Al
years of age, they contain the subioined ex-
traordinary episode: The Emperor having
temporarily abandoned the divorce, but still
| anxious for an heir, asked his wife one day
whether she would agree tn accept one, and
to feign pregnancy cleverly enough to deceive
everybody. She far from refusing any
of his fancles in this respect. Brnaparte then
sent for his chief physician, Corvisart, in
whom he deservedly placed unlimited conf
dence, and confided his project to him. If i
succeed, he said in securing the birth of
witness of the pretended confinement of the
Empress, and to do all that is necessary to
give this ruse all the appearance of reality.
Corvisart considered the delicacy of his pro-
bity compromised by this proposal; he prom
ised inviolable secrecy, hut refused to do what
was required of him. Only long after, and
since Bonapartes second marriage, he con-
fded this anecdote to me on testifying the le-
gitimate birth of the King of Rome, as to
whom altogether unwarranted doubts had
been raised"
