D,Israeli,s Childhood Tricks.

Here is a delicious story told me by an
old lady whom 1 met somewhere, which
has cheered me up in my sorrow. When a
girl she used to dine with her parents at
an annual Christmas dinner given by Mr..
Murray, of Albemarle street. to his liter
airy friends. D'Israeli, the elder. and his
family were always there. After dinner
the children were allowed to play round
game together, but after the first year they
all refused to play with Master Ben be-
cause he cheated so. Evidently at a very
early age he was determined to gain the
mastery, and Of course at that age he had
no scruples. He must then have fore
Swallowed what he Is reputed to have said
of his great political rival-viz., that he
was undoubtedly great man, but never
could be successful politician, because he
was overburde2ed with principle and had
not one redeem1ng vice--Ramsey' Recoi-
lections.

NO MORE MINING FOR HIM.
One Experience of Digging for Gold i,

the Sierras Was All He Wanted.
Eyes" observed a young lawyer friend
of l:ine yesterday, Il have been a gold
miner in my time, and I had about all
wanted of it in that one experience, can
assure you"
you see," he went on, II was possessed
with the idea when left college, some five
years ago, that I'd like to go into gold
mining as business. First I'd learn the
practical part of it, then I'd locate some
valuable claim somewhere and take things
easy afterward, merely taking out enough
| gold to pay myrunning expenses. Sounds
well, doesn't it?
"Well, had a couple of hundred dollars
saved up, and with this bought an outfit
| of rough clothing and ticket for the west.
| Without going into details | found myself
! some two weeks afterward in Grizzly Flat,
a mining camp in Ell Dorado county, Cal.
My money was about gone, too, and as
had no way of procuring additional funds
had to set to work, whether wished to or
| not.
Il met mine boss up there who agreed
to give me job as helper in one of the
lower levels of his mine The next day [

The snow was about two feet deep on the

then down we went.
Down, down, until it seemed almost as
if we had reached the center of the earth.
1t was dark as pitch, too, save for the
Pickering rays of the candle which | car
ried. Then l had to crawl on my hands
and knees through a narrow, damp pass
ageway, until we reached the face of the
drift. Here, Jim,' said the boss, here's
new hand for you. Better set him at work

Il put out my hand and felt thick,

of water trickled from above down the

when l returned to consciousness l
found my arm in sling. The blow had

A Few Suggestions for the Tourist.

When contemplating a trip of any kind,
the first thought that most naturally sug
gests itself is, How can l derive the
most comfort out of this trip" To this
answer is, take the Missouri Pacific rail
way.
The next question to solve is, "Where
shall 90 to get correct information rela
tive to this trip" The answer is, at the
Missouri Pacific ticket office, at 100 n.
Main street Last, but not least, is to get
my ticket just as / want it, and baggage
checked when l want it, and my sleeping
car reservations through to my destina-
ton. All these accommodations you will
find at the Missouri Pacific ticket office.

The Escape Of the Itata.

The ltata, which recently escaped from
the port of San Diego, had been there to get
military supplies to make war upon a
government with which we are at peace.
she is now on her way to Cnilian port
with these supplies, and if not seized,
VIII be used in helping along the
rebellion against the lawful head Of the
Gillian government. In the case of the Ala
pama. which was fitted out in an English
port to prey upon our commerce. the United
States contended before the Geneva tribunal
that the highest diligence was imposed upon
neatrals to prevent belligerents using neu-
tral ports to obtain supplies or to fit out YES
sells to make war upon each other. The trj-
bunal recognized the justice of the position
Of the United States by awarding heavy
damages against the government of Great
Britain. OF course doctrine to which we
committed ourselves in that case binds us
Just as effectively when we are neutrals as
in the case Of this CHILEAN war as when we
were belligerents, as in the matter of the
Alabama. Ii from lack Of due diligence
on our partaa Gillian insurgent vessel sue
ceeds In fitting out in one of our ports TO
make war on the Gillian government we are
responsible, according to the Geneva doc
trine, for the damages which she may infiict
upon that government. If through lack of
diligence on our part the Itata succeeded in
escaping from San Diego we are responsible
for all direct damage she may iDfict. Eng
land made no effort at all to stop the Ala
bama. We did make an effort to stop the
Itata. A United States marshal was put
on board her. and she was ordered to remain
in port, so that she put to sea in defiance of
our government But did we use all the
diligence which we were under obligation
to when we put on board of her single man,
knowing, as we must, that he was powerless
to prevent the escape of the vessel, provided
her officers saw fit to defy his authority? A
very strong argument can be made to show
that we did not. And the fact, il fact 1t be.
that the navy department has despatched
the charleston In pursuit and ordered our
squadron in Gillian waters 10 Inherent the
Itata, indicates that our government is not
satisfied that it took all the precautions thai
1t was bound to.

us that he does not always take all the facts
into consideration before he starts out in his
career OF logic? This fault is nothing against
uncle Solon's character. Many men of emf
nent regulations in law, politics ana even
theology have wandered afar because
they forgot the old injunction, "Be sure you
are right; then 60 ahead"
