IL Consists In Being Interested i'm Many
Things.

A gentleman who had given his only
daughter great educational advantages
was disappointed that she did not shine
in conversation with his friends. 'Why
don't you talk ?" he asked. "You chat
ter with the girls, but with people OF
sense you are silent"
81 don't know what to talk about.
Your friends are not interested IN the
things that interest me. The girls are.
Here is a key to this problem of learr-
ing to converse. Be interested in that
which interests your companion. If it is
child, make your conversation on a
level with ehilds comprehension and
about things that interest child. If a
philosopher be your companion, and you
can not interest or instruct him, be inter
ested in learning from him. The impor-
tance of knowing little Of everything is
emphasized by the necessity of meeting
all classes of people.
"Did you ever sell dry goods ?" asked
a pert miss of Judge. "You seem to
know all about ladies' wear. ''No. "
was the reply, "but my mother, who was
an invalid, taught me to do her shop
ping, and l have found the knowledge
thus obtained invaluable in society and
in my profession. | once overheard an
elegant gentleman talking with an uncul-
tured old woman about making soap, and
showing that he knew something of the
art and was interested in learning more.
Sir Walter Scott made it point to
talk with every one he met upon some
topic that pleased them. On one occa-
sion he met in a stage coach a man with
whom he tried to converse upon every
imaginable topic, but without arousing a
response. Quite in despair, he ex-
claimed, "Is there anything you can talk
about?" The man replied, "What do
you know about band leather?" :" Sir
Walter confessed that he knew nothing,
but he wanted to learn, and upon this
topic found his companion intelligent and
even eloquent. We are often told that
to be a good conversationalist one must
be a good listener; but to be good list
ener is not to sit silent. 1t is to know
enough of the subject under considera-
ton to ask intelligent questions and
listen understandingly to the replies.

feet long, bored through solid rock.
The summit of the mountains is I.I5o

has been no possible chance to make
an air shaft. and the work is prose

A private cable message announces
that Drum I.ummon stock was quoted
in Londay. Tuesday at I35 shillings,
or IS r5s This lacks but five shil-
Iings of being four times the par value
OF the stock, which is 81 per share.
The stock is nov at premium of 9s
shillngs per share. There has been
an advance OF. about thirty shillings in
the past fortnight, and to the best Of
our recollection the appreciation from
par has all occurred in the past six
months. 1t is now about year since
the old thieving management at the
mine was bounced, and honest, com
petent men placed in charge. The
attempt to steal the mine. however,
had so weakened the faith of the
Londoners that it took months and
several dividends to convince them
that thew had even a good property,
and until that was accomplished the
stock was heavy and away below par
down even to ten or fifteen shillings
per share But as soon as the new
managers at the mine got it in good
shape, began to show up the great
b dies of rich ore and to roll out the
bullion at the rate Of $50, 900 to $780,
900 per month, the Londoners' faith
returned. and the result has been
steady and rapid appreciation in the
quoted value of the stock to the
present figures-and it is still going up.
The recent stiffening in these stock is
due to the fact that the mine is looking
better every day and its output is
increasing. The March output was
reckoned. we believe, at $4,000.
A gentleman Just from the mine says
four distinct pay shutes are now being
worked. and they are larger and the
ore richer than ever before. He (Mr.
Trent is the gentleman referred toy is
firmly Of the belief that the Drum
Lummon is the greatest mine in the
world to day and that it is destined to
equal if not surpass the famous Com
stock of Nevada.
We believe that with one only or two
exceptions the Montana promoters of
the Drum Lummon sale principally
Helena menl sold out their stock
before the raise came. and some even
sold out when it was down at IS to 20
shillings. Even Mr.. Cruise whose faith
was supposed to have been stronger
than tina; of anybody else, unloaded
before the boom came. One fortunate
Helena man among the present heavy
holders of this stock is w. &. Child.
Last fall he traded his sheep herds
and ranch to Mr.. Cruise for $50, 1000
worth Of the stock at par The in
crease in the value Of the stock since
makes him winner to the amount OF
almost $4,000.
The great showing which the Drum
Lummon is making and the profit
which the ENGLISH investors are deriv-
ing will give Montana mines stand.
ing in that great money centre, and in
fact all over the world, which will moi
be lacking in substantial benefit to
this great mining territory.

Representative Hammond.

The interest IN the Fifth district con-
test for the Congressional nomination
is very gener al in the State. The candi-
dates are Hon. n. j. Hammond and Judge
John d. Stewart The latter gentleman
is very we'll known In the district and Is
popular. He is also a man of high char
acter and ability. MIR. Hammond is
known all over the State. In fact, his
reputation as an honest and wise legis-
lator is not limited by State lines. He is
regarded as one of the leading members of
the House of Representatives., and has a
position in Congress that any man might
be proud to occupy. He is one OF
the few men of the House who
commands the attention OF that body
when he addresses it. The reason is that
he always has something to say that is
worth hearing. When be has discussed
a subject it is better understood. Being
a just man. and having ability of very
high order, there are not many represen-
tatives who exert a greater influence in
Congress than he does.
He has served his district faithfully and
there is no good reason why he should
not be renominated. If the place he &C.
cupies could be filed better by some one
else that would be good reason for not
renominating him, but no one can fill the
place better, or, perhaps, so well.
The Georgia delegation ranks high in
Congress-higher, it is said, than any
other-and Mr.. Hammond contributes
great deal towards giving it high rank.
1t is great mistake to retire Con-
gressmen as soon as they have worked
themselves into positions where they can
render their districts and States the great
est service. The uninfluential and USE
less Congressman ought to be retired
without hesitation, but the good ones
ought to be returned as long as they will
serve,
