A Mining Story.

Eight years ago, four MINERS sat one
1!ght In a tent at IN Australian digging
discussing their future plans and deplor-
ng their Ill fortune. For weary months
hey had worked the mine without getting
more than a bare living. At length they
aeclded to leave the spot. though not
without regret. Three of them were in
ne mine taking q last look around, when
one said to his mates, Good by I'll give
Fou a farewell blow" and with that his
pick sent the splinters of quartz in all
quarters. His trained eye spicd n glitter
IN one OF the bits that landed ut his feet.

WORK with a will. His chums saw that
something out of the common course had
happened, and they, too. applied their
picks vigorously. With silent resolve they
worked on until thcy unearthed a big mug

A Pen Sketch Of Bartholdi.

Last Saturday night Bar1holdi. the
sculptor, was entertained by the Lotos
Club, and 100 guests were present.
Whitelaw Reid, president of the club,
who fultils his duties strictly and is rail-
able IN his engagements, presented the
sculptor, who Is n different looking man
from'what l had supposed. Indeed, !
should have suspected him to be an
American of the frontier order. with
some Southern blood. He has long
black hair clipped rather evenly at the
bottom; has a forehead of only moderate
height, eyes rather on the gray Ameri-
can line n black or rich, and a strong
and powerful nose hardly to be matched

nose. When he got up to speak he
spoke with a strong French pronuncia-
ton, going over his English words
slowly and thoughtfully. He made a
good impression for his modesty and
simplicity. claiming nothing; but this
work has cost him at least nine years of
arduous labor and debt and expert
ment.
1t is the impression here that Barth-
oldi is out of pocket by this statue. It
has cost him a great many years, has
involved the expenditure of a large
amount of money. and taking all his
proceeds and dividing them by the time
1t would seem that he might have made
a great deal more money by attending
to more selfish forms of art.-"Gathn IN IN
