Klamath Star. England is becoming
solicitous for our welfare. John Bull
has always embraced the opportunity to
slight our citizens and bully our govern

trade, and prosper. Under protection
we have beaten him in all bis fields of
industry, but his new love for us sees
greater glory in free trade. Johns new
love is always fresh.

Tobacco or Not Tobacco.

l noticed in a late edition of The
MIRROR an article headed Can a man
be gentleman and smoke. Now, with
all due respect to the writer, think
that he put the question wrong; it
should have read, Can man be a gen.
tleman and not smoke? If he can,
there must be comparatively few gen.
tlemen in this nineteenth century world
of ours, for 1 think that by far the
larger portion of mankind use tobacco
in some form or other.
1t is needless to say that no gentle
man would smoke in friends house if
he was aware that his friend objected
to it, or that man would use tobacco
in the presence of ladies, unless they
were intimate friends and he had pre-
.yiously asked them permission.
In most houses worthy of the name
there is smoking room, or at least a
room where one may smOke-nO one
would think of smoking in lady's
drawing room.
| can't think that men like Grant,
Dickens, Cooper the late Rev. Mr..
Sturgeon, who was great smoker, and
a host of others whom | might men
tiOn, were not gentlemen in every sense
of the word. They all smoked. Doc
tors tell us that tobacco is great dis
infectant and that those who use it
are not liable to catarrh and diseases Of
the throat, etc.
1t is the poets inspiration, the states
mans sedative, the tOiler's friend, and
the prisoners only comfort, when he is
allowed to use it.
al once heard doctor say-speaking
of prominent business man, who was
attacked by softening of the brain, due
to over work and needless anxiety, that
had he been smoker it would never
have happened. l knew the man, he
was rich; but he was like Oliver Twist,
wanted more He used to travel at
night to save time. He was in the dry
goods business, and he sold braids, but
tons and suspenders in his sleep, he did
not have time to smoke; but he went
mad in the prime of life by trying to
do too much.
So I, for my part, shall continue US
ing tobacco when | can get it, and will
take chances on not being considered a
gentleman, and also take comfort in
what the doctor said, that l am not so
liable to become crank, not that ever
expect to become one from too much
work. VIRGINIA LEAF.

LITTLE HOMER'S SLATE.

After dear old grandma died,
Hunting through an Oaken chest
In the attic, we eSpied
What repaid our childish quest:
Twas hOmely little slate,
Seemingly of ancient date.
On its quaint and battered face
Was the picture of a cart
Drawn with all that awkward grace
Which betOkenS childish art;
But what meant this legend, pray:
"HOmer drew this Yesterday"
Mother recOllected then
What the years were fain to hide,
She was but baby when
Little Homer lived and died;
Forty years, so mother said,
Little Homer had been dead,
This one secret through those years
Grandma kept from all apart,
HallOwed by her lonely tears
And the breaking of her heart;
While each year that sped away
Seemed to her but yesterday.
SO the hOmely little slate
Grandma'S baby'S fingers pressed,
To memory cOnSecrate.
Lieth in the Oaken chest.
Where, unwilling we should know,
Grandma put it. years ago.

Does Much Learning Make Men Mad?

That thoroughly, well learned man
like Mr.. John Lothian Robson should
boldly assert his deliberate belief that
the only way out of the divorce difficult
ty is by our reverting to the Mosaic
code of stOning the adulterer to death,
seems to furnish grounds for believing
that "Too much of good thing is
worse than none at all, y at least as re-
CARDS learning. When we find our
leading reviews filled with extracts
from learned mems writings and these
writings advocating the return of civil
ization to such barbarious codes as the
Mosaic we must beg to be excused from
agreeing with those learned refOrmers
(?). If we cannot go ahead, for heav
ems sake don't let us go backward.

The Legitimate Novel.

An intramural "cOlleague" has on
several occasions called my attention to
an article, written by me, headed "Ro-
nance versus Reality" and with great
deal of warmth has claimed that l had
been exceedingly severe in my criticism
on novel reading, and demanded (again
with a great deal of warmth) that l
should define what novel is in it's broad
est definition. shall try my utmost to
comply with the wishes of my col
league, and 1 sincerely hope that wis
dom (sic) or inspiratiOn-Or both-shall
come to him from the reading of The
Legitimate Novel.
What is a novel in it's brOadest defni-
ton? | claim it is an invented history
of human lives, brought into relations
with each other, whose first office is to
amuse. Some of the inventions have
no end nor aim but amusement, and
those which have other aims rely upon
amusement for etfecting them. The
novelist who has a lesson to teach, or a
reform to forward, or truth or princi-
pie to illustrate, does not hope to do it
through his work, unless he can secure
its reading through its power to amuse.
1t is said that the first business of all
art is to please, and any work of literary
art, whether novel or poem, has no apOl-
Ogy for existence, if it does not have
the power to convey pleasure of some
kind.
Now, the fact that the novel has been
seized upon the world over, for great
number of offices, shows how naturally
it is adapted to a wide range of aims
and ends in it's construction. Political,
moral, social and religious topics can be
treated through the medium of invent
ed stories, and they have been treated
in this way with the most gratifying
success. We have the political, the
moral and the religious novel, and we
have also the society novel, and it is
only at comparative recent date that
a set of critics have appeared who are
inclined to rule out the category of
legitimacy everything but the society
novel. Even this must be a certain
kind of society novel in order to meet
their approval. 1t must always deal
with the passion of love, as it's ruling
motive, and consist of the interplay of
the relations between men and women.
1t must have absolutely no mission but
that of amusement. In performing
this mission it must be true to certain
ideas of art that relate to the delinea-
tion of character, the development of
plot, and the arrangement of dramatic
situations and climaxes. If the rules
are all complied with-if the love is
properly made, and the characters are
properly handled, and the novel is in
teresting-the book is legitimate. If,

A North Dakota editor writes: The

He leadeth me into the saloon for my
votes sake. He filleth my pocket with
good cigars and my beer glass runneth

health of my family, even unto the
fourth generation. Yea, though 1 walk
through the mud and rain to vote for
him and shout myself hOarse when he

Yea, though 1 meet him in his own

THE CASTLE IDEA.

Great Falls will need to keep her
weather eye open if she is to have
he field all to herself, as the follow
ing from the Journal shows that
Helena is not asleep, and will come
to the front with her old time vigor.
Neihart will be pleased to salute
the Helena railroad:
1t will not be many days, in all
probability, before the preliminaries
for the construction of the Helena
and Castle railroad will be COM
pleted and actual operations begin.
To hasten the work, it is probable
that the contract for grading will be
let to some big operator in such
affairs who has heavy backing, and
can be held strictly to the terms of
his contract, which will provide for
the completion of the grade at the
earliest possible date. The only
heavy bridge work will be the one
over the Missouri, which ear be
built while the heavy mountain grad
ing is being pushed. Materials for
the track and rolling stock will be
accumulated at Helena, 81 that the
track-laying may keep pace with
the grading, and in order to ex-
pedite matters the engineers will
avoid as much as possible every
thing in the line of tunneling and
rock work that will require much
time for accomplishment. General
Haven will probably have charge
of the engineers department.
In order to give the entire min
eral region of the Belt Range an
opportunity to bring its ores to the
open market offered by Helena, it is
probable that a branch Of the Hell
ena and Castle line will be built
Immediately from a point in the
Smith river valley to Neihart and
Barker. This will place these camps
in q fair way of rapid development,
and at the same time provide other
grades of ore which can be worked
to advantage with those of Castle.
Altogether, it will be a great yea1
for Montana, and Helena will lead
the van.

WHAT ONE BLAST DID.

The papers have lately mentioned
how many prominent mines of the
country were discover ed by chance.
There is a scrap to be added in the
history of the Cortez mines, says the
Central Nevadan. Simeon Wenban
had run the Garrison tunnel at great
expense and vas left "a poor man,
owing his creditors one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. There was
not a pound of ore in sight whereby
the debt might be paid. AS a last
resort, with a forlorn hope, after the
mine had been closed, Simeon Wen
ban drilled a hole in the hanging
wall and blasted out a huge piece of
rock, which he found to be almost a
solid block of metal, and part of an
immense vein which had been par
alleled hundreds of feet. This for
tunate last effort marked a sudden
change that seldom falls to the lot
of man. 1t was Wenban, the poor

MINING ACTIVITY,

The current week has brought
greater interests in mining than has
existed for months, and upon every
hand the signs unfailingly point to
the fact that Montana is on the
threshold of the most brilliant season
of quartz mining the country has
ever experienced.
From every district come most
encouraging reports of the work ac-
complished during the winter; new
prospects developing into mines and
pay ore bodies encountered in mines
which for long have been idle.
Montanians are becoming fully
alive to the fact that the cost of pro-
duction and treatment of ore has be-
come nominal compared to the ex-
perience of the past years, and that
ore then valueless can now be work
ed with a reliable margin of profit,
the knowledge of which fact tends
to increase interest in the great in
dustry of the state.
This favorable condition of affairs
is strongly evidenced by the testi-
mony of merchants and agents en-
gagged in the sale of mining ma
chinery who, without exception, re-
port that never has there been, at
this seaso of the year, SO much in
quiry for machinery as now exists.
Another feature of the situation
is presence of men representing
mine workers in search of promising
propositions in every branch of min
ing, fairly well developed leads be-
ing sought for. These circum-
