One night about 10 o'clock after

A scheme was concocted and put
into execution that is probably
without a parallel.
Cox secured horse and rode

ARTEMUS WARDS TRICK.
The Joke He Once Played on
Mark Twain.

Artemus Ward had favorite trick

of which be appeared to get good
deal Of congenial fun, says the Cali.
fornian. This va. tae disbursing
of a rigmarole Of nonsense in a
solemn and impressive manner, as
though he was saying something of
unusual weight and Importance. 1t
was a game Of mystifcation in
which he greatly delighted. At a
dinner given him BY leading Com.
stocker. at the international hotel
Ward played his trick on Mark
Twain, all present being let into the
secret beforehand. He began an
absurd exposition of the word
genius, upon the conclusion of which
the embarrassed Mark was obliged
to acknowledge his inability to
comprehend the speaker.
"Indeed,' exclaimed Artemus,
and for half a minute he gazed at
Mark with face in which shade
Of Impotence began to mingle with
establishment and compassion.
Then, heaving sigh, he said:

"Hold on, Artemus," interrupted
Mark. "It is useless for you to re.
peat your definition. The wine or
the brandy or the whisky or some
other thing has gone to my head.
Tell it to me some other time, or,
better still, write it down for me

beaming with pleasure. ''I'll give

fined to the material which concep-
ton furnishes, but may be-"
"For Gods sake cried Mark,
"if you 60 at that again you'll drive
me mad"
The general burst of laughter
which followed this feeling and
half-sngry protest made it plain to
Mark that Artemus had been set to
work on him with malice afore-
thought, aud that all present were
in the plot and had been amusing
themselves at his expense.

Silver Mining In Colorado.

Silver Mining IN COLORADO.
The first effect of the drop in
silver to 73 cents an ounce was to
paralyze the silver industry. There
are three or four mines, like the
Mollie Gibson, Snuggler, Last
Chance and Amethyst, in which
silver can be produced a. less than
60 cents an ounce; but in the great
maj ority of mines that were in
successful operation it costs con-
siderably more than that. A meet
ing of men interested in mining and
smelling was held the day after
silver touched the lowest point, and
it was agreed to close all mines and
smelteries. If the smelteries will
not treat the ore it is useless for the
miners to produce it; therefore, for
a few days, everything came to a
standstill. Since then, however,
some smelteries have been started
up again, in order to treat the ore in
sight, but very little mining of
ellN cl uds Uccu uOAOs
The cessation of mining has had
a terrible effect upon such places as
Leadville, Aspen and Creole, which
have almost no other resources.
The miners, being out of work,
cannot pay. The merchants dare
not grant credit. The banks find
their reserves melting away and
close their doors. All business
suffers, and many business men
fail. The closing of the mines has
thrown probably 20, 600 men out of
employment at low estimate.
Relief committees have been
formed at the places mentioned to
try to keep from actual starvation
the families whose bread. winners
can no longer obtain supplies, but
distances are enormous in Colorado,
railway fares are high, and the
walking is not good
1t ia useless to point out to m an
who have lost their all and who
may soon be in actual danger of
starving, that Colorado has other
resources than silver; that iron and
coal and petroleum, lead, copper,
zinc, and buildingstone, are 10 be
had for the digging; that the agli-
cultural output of the State last
year was almost double the mineral
output in value; that gold mining is
bound to yield rich returns. 1t is
hard for man who has not dollar
and who cannot get any credit to
start in new business. 1t sounds
to him like mockery to tell him of
other opportunities. Harper's

The late Frances Anne Kemble was
born in London, November %, 1909. and
was therefore nearly eighty-four years
of age at the time of her death. She
was nearly twenty years old when her
father, the celebrated Charles kemble,
put her on the stage. Her debut, as
Juliet, was great triumph. She came
TO this country in 1882 and played here
for two years. In 1884 she married q
South Carolina planter, Mr.. Pierce But

they were divorced in ls45- She lived
in this country forty years, although
she much preferred her native soil.
Notwithstanding her wonderful tEi-

as seemingly inspired during the
five years she spent on the stage she
greatly disliked the actors life and was
glad TO cast it of. However, she gave
