BEHIND THE EYE.
Nothing Is Seen Until 1t Is Separated From
Its Surroundings.


Its Surroundings.
A man looks at the landscape, but
the tree standing in the middle OF tho
landscape he does not see until, for the
instant at least, he singles il out rs
the object OF vision. Two men walk |
the same road: as far as the bystander |
can perceive, they have before them
the same sights; but let them be ques
toned at the end Of the journey, and
\ it will appear that ono man saw one
, set OF objects. and his companion an
! other; and the more diverse the intel
lectual training and habits OF the two
travellers. the greater will be the dis
crepancy between the two reports.
And what is true of any two men is
equally true Of any one man at two
different times. To-day he is in n
dreamy, reflective mood-he has been

when he takes his afternoon saunter

A WEALTHY MINER.
Some Points About Mr.. Thomas
Cruise.

CTU50.
From Hdrper'S hfugdztne.
Marysville, nearly thirty miles from
Helena, is a second Wickes in appearance,
but whenone remembers the wealth
have Of the mines which
created the town, he forgets the vgliness of
the streets, and ceases to notice the dilapi-
daticn of the rudely built cabins. Marys-
vile Is chiefly famous as the site of the
Drum Lummon, but does not depend on
this mine alone for its support. The town
is the chief seat of an extremely rich dis
trict, already well developed, and is an i'm
portant suburb of Helena. 1t Is connected
| by rail With the latter city, and will event
ritaIly be the terminus of O branch of the
Manitoba road
The discoverer Of the Drum Lummon
was Mr.. Thomas Cruise In the days before
he sold his property and returned to Helena
q much honored millionaire, Mr.. Cruse was
| locally known as "Old Tommy" and was
looked upon as a somewhat visionary man.
None questioned after a time that his mine,
where he lived and labored alone was valu-
able. but few placed its worth so high as
did the patient owner When he refuse d
half million for his mine, the people of
Helena called him foolish, and when he
turned away from the offer of a million,
they called him fool But the miner was
wiser than his friends, and eventually re-
ceived the price, Sl1 500, 900, and a goodly
number of shares in the new company
Then, as often is the case, the old familiar
ity was dropped, and the Tommy" of by
gone days became Mr.. Thomas Cruise,
'capitaiist." A kind, thoroughly honest
man, of whom all who know him are ready
to say good word, he is familiar figure on
the streets of Helena, and to-day is presi
dent of a savings-bank in the city where
few years ago he was not sure of getting
trusted for enough to keep himself alive.
AS an illustration Of the ups and downs of
miners life, hc is a'notable example.

Tbs was pure check, but he stuck to it and
carried the day. The military committee
asked for O travelling investigation, and
Ford got Speaker Carlisle to put him at the
iead Of the committee. He is a stenographer
himself and has taken thousands of words
n the Michigan law courts. So he can re-
port all the talk at the hearings that he
wants verbatim. His plurality was a
