that had it been any other than one of

He Got the Desired Information.

1t was in the smoking car on the
New York Central There was one
chap who was clustering IA great deal
and telling of how many duels he had
fought, and behind him sat small
man reading Il magazine.
''Sir ~ said the big man, as he wheel
ed around, "whatwOuld you do if |
challenged ?"
'Refuse," was the quiet reply.
"Ah | thought us much. Refuse
and be branded a coward What if
gentleman offered you the choice of
duel or public hOrsewhipping then
what ?n
'I'd take the whipping"
"Ah thought so; thought so from
the looks of you. Suppose, sir, you
had fOully slandered me ?"

''Then, sir, suppose | had cOOlly and
deliberately insulted you. What would
you do ~
"Id just rise up this way, lay down
my book this way, and reach over like
this and take him by the nose as take
you, and give it a three-quarter twist
just so ~
When the little man let go of the
big mans nose, the man with the white
hat on began to crouch down to get
away from bullets, but there was no
shooting. The big man turned red,
then pale, then looked the little man
over and remarked
"Certainly-of course-that's it, ex-
actly."
And then conversation turned on
the general prosperity of the country.

them. Mr.. lngersOll himself became
convinced that the mine was such
bonanza that he thought it a great pity
that the company's stock should 60 off
at the low rate of S5 a share. SO he
went and put all the money he could
rake and scrape into it, and his friends
generally did the same. One gentle
man / know, who had nothing but his
faith in Ingersoll to guide him, invest
ed S3S 900 in the stock Mt 81 and S5
share. Somehow, there seemed to be
good deal of stock floating about,
and, after a while, it began to sink
little, and then it sank good deal,
and last week heard of fellow buy
ing 1000 shares at 10 cents n share.
Ingersoll has paid something over
5000 for what he could now buy for
about $4,000. He is able to bear the
loss, because he can get $1,000 night
whenever he chooses to lecture in Chi
cago, New York or Boston, but some
of the other sufferers are not as well
able to bear it; in fact, the Ivanhoe
mine has blown sort of simoom of
poverty over Washington. There was
a regular craze about the stock last
year, and people who had not much
ready money even mortgaged their
houses to buy it at s. share. The
secret of the little affair was, of course,
that while Ingersoll and his friends
were buying, Plumb, Grafton and their
friends were selling, and the mine had
been absurdly inflated and overstock-
ed before it was really known whether
there was anything in it. A few peo-
pie profess to have faith in it yet, but
these few are confined to those with
whom the wish is father to the
thought Wash. Letter to Boston Her

TAKEN IN.
There is nothing more interesting in
Washington just now than the affairs
of the Ivanhoe mine, and | may as well
tell you about it. The Ivanhoe mine
is Bob lngersolrS mine. That is, Rob
ert is the heaviest owner in it at pres
ent, and it begins to look as if he were
the heaviest loser in it also. All COM
panies organized for the mining of
precious metals in this country may be
divided into two classes. The dishOn-
est and swindling enterprises form one
class and the ridiculous and absurd in
flations the other class. We do not ex-
actly know yet which class the Ivan
hoe belongs to; but probably it is the
latter. The beautifully printed chrome
of the lvanhOe Mining company in
forms the proprietor thereof that the
mine is located in Colorado, that there
are 5000, 900 shares of stock in the
company, that the par value of these
shares is S25, and that the company
has certain officers, whose names | do
not Just now remember. OF course
do not know whether there is any such
mine or not, but, if there is such a
mine, it was bought by few individ-
uals here. The principal movers were
Ingersoll and IA firm of lawyers, Hal
bert f. Payne and Grafton, and Sena-
tor Plumb of Kansas. A Washington
banking firm was also Interested. The
property is said to have cost 500, 900,
and therefore the shares of stock cost
the original holders and issuers thereof
30 cents apiece The company was
formed about year and half ago,
and soon after it was formed the most
astounding stories of the wealth of the
mine began to circulate all over Wash
ingtOn. forget how many millions of
dollars worth of ore were always in
sight in the mine. None of it was ever
taken out, but it was stated to be
there, and IA good many honest people
got to believe that it was there. After
while the able OriginatOrs of the
mine began to let some of their friends
into this good and beautiful thing at
the rate of about 80 share. There
seemed to be quite demand for it at
this figure, and, consequently, the
price was advanced to - share, and
then the demand for it increased. The
company held a meeting and set apart
quantity of stock to be sold at 50 a
share to be used to develop the mine

vanced rapidly underneath the surface

MIR. Edward Atkinson OH
"GumptiOn.'

At Exeter, n H., Saturday, Mr.. Ed
ward Atkinson of Boston addressed the
Golden Leaf Society of Phillips Exeter
Academy on the question, :" What ad
vantage does an American Boy Pos
sess ?" Mr.. Atkinson urges that the
young men who are soon to become
the workers and controllers in the bus
mess of life should be careful not to
become One-sided and not to lose the
- gumption" which every Yankee boy
ought to possess, and which does not
form part of the curriculum of the
school or college, but is developed or
lost in that part of the process of edu-
cation which is outside the books and
independent of the teacher. Gumption
is that power of applying the work of
the hand and the brain together under
the quick application of the will, which
makes boy or man ready for any
emergency, and enables him to decide
at a glance, or with "a single thought,
the right way of doing something. In
the old time, although the organization
of the schools was not as perfect as it
is to-day, and although the teachers
were perhaps not as competent as
those of modern time, while the varie-
ty of instruction was far less, there
was a no less number of able and capa-
BILE men among the graduates of schools
and colleges in proportion to the whole
number of pupils than there is to-day.
The necessity which was imposed upon
rich and poor alike to do some part of
the work of life with their own hands,
while they were attempting to develop
their mental powers, worked i'll the di-
rection of that readiness and versatile
ty which we call gumptiOn.
1t is obvious to men who have been
engaged from very early years in the
active work of life, and have been
charged with the duty of selecting men
to fill important places, that the num-
Der of school or college graduates who
have been adequately prepared to ap-
ply their instruction to immediate use
constitutes a painfully small proper
ton of the whole number. 1t may be
admitted that the only true result of
school and college training is to enable
young man to know when and how
to begin the real education which must
form part of his life, and which will
not end except with life, but it ought
not to happen that the method of prep
aratiOn is so i'll devised that it disqual-
ifies the graduate in a measure for the
work which he must do. Mr.. Atkinson
advocates for boys and young men III
school and college an organized system
of sports as means of developing
manual dexterity, urging the develop
ment of hand and brain together. His
address throughout is an argument in
favor of students endeavOring to ac-
quire not only that knowledge which
will enable them to design, but the

A Horrible Situation.

A distressing story of the Georgia
cyclone is TO the effect that the wife of
DIR. Carroll, of Monticello, hearing
the storm coming, ran to her husband,
who threw his arm about her neck. At
the same moment the wind blew the
house down upon them, and crushed
them to the floor, the mother with the
infant in her arms, the husband with
his arm around his wife's neck. The
timbers locked the doctors arm so
closely about her neck that he could
not remove it. He was conscious that
he was choking her to death, but all
his efforts to throw off the timbers
were futile. When assistance came his
wife was dead. The child also was
dead.
