THE NEXT POET LAUREATE.

Kipliu1 Commended Because He has SUNG
the Song of the British Soldier.
It is in the last number of The Idler,
In symposium upon the Selection
Of the next poet laureate OF England,
that Mr.. Zangwill makes this special
plea for and brilliant panegyric OF Zip
ling:
"Without wasting time in reason
theoretical or practical-for barring ev-

once that my selection is Rudyard Kip

-Kipiing has sung the song of the Brit

NATIVE vigor. He has interpreted the
British soldier. He alone today possesses
the secret of those Macaulay measures
which are trumpets to the blood Of the
scholarly and the simple alike, while
they are the only meters that really ap-
peal to the crowd His genius-the most
brilliant, not to say glaring, that our
generation has witnessed, always at
white heat, and therefore lacking the
mellower radiances-is Of the very fire
that informs Tyrt@us. His mind has
the narrowness that makes national
bard, and that breadth which is indispen-
sable for British national bird, whose
strains must echo the morning roll Of
the drum that follows the sunrise round
the world.
"The only thing which can be urged
against Kipling's claims is his youth.
But then KipNng-matured under In
dian skies-was never young. In truth,
genius never develops, but reyolves in
a cycle of masterpieces-is always old.
as old as all the other elemental mystic
ries. Tennyson never wrote anything
really popular in the laureate line ex-
cept THE Charge of the Light Brigade.
Kiping would be popular, even if he
had to hymn the virtuous advent of
princely twins. In brief, he is already
practically the laureate Of the British
empire The appointment only awaits
ratification at the hands Of 'The Wilder
of Windsor. y"

Again, l have to tell you that it is
woman's specific right to comfort under
the stress of dire disaster. She is called
the weaker vessel, but all profane as
well as sacred history attests that when
the crisis comes she is better prepared
than man to meet the emergency How
often you have seen awoman who SEEM
ed to be disciple of frivolity and indo-
lence, who, under one stroke of calamity,
changed to heroinel Oh, what a great
mistake those business men make who
never tell their business troubles to their
wives There comes some great loss to
their store or some of their companions
in business play them sad trick, and
they carry the burden. all alone. He is
asked in the household again and again,
"What is the natter" but he believes
it sort of Christian duty to keep all
that trouble within his own soul. Oh,
sir, your first duty was to tell your wife
all about it. She perhaps might not have
disentangled your finances or extended
your credit, but she would have helped
you to bear misfortune. You have no
right to carry on one shoulder that
which is intended for two. There are
business men who know what mean.
There comes crisis in your affairs.
You struggle bravely and long, but aft
er awhile there comes Il day when you
say, "Here I shall have to stop, and
you call in your partners, and you call

You leave the store suddenly. You can
scarcely make up your mind to pass

you, and denouncing you. You hasten

AN INSULT AVENGED.
MISS MARY HUGGARD cHAsTIsEs MIR.
 EBL. coLBURN
With a Buggy Whip while Her Uncle
 Stood By with n shot-Gun.

About 10 o'clock yesterday morn ing Mr Ed. L. Colburn was severely chastised with buggy whip in the hands of Miss Mary Huggard, the 17-year-old daughter of the late John Huggard, while her uncle, Mr Sterl Godfrey, stood by with a shotgun and compelled Mr. Colburn to hold up his hands and submit to the pun ishment. The facts in the case, as told by the young lady, Mrs. Hug gard, Mir. Godfrey and the negro wo- man are as follows:
 On Christmas Day MT. CoIburn went to the home of Mary Smith, a notorious colored procuress, who lives near his mill and not far from the residence of Mrs. Huggard and her daughter, and employed her to go to the young lady with an insult ing proposition to meet him at the house of the procuress.
 The woman did what, as she says, Mr. Colburn employed her to do, and made the proposition to Miss Hug gard. The latter was heartbroken by the insult and at once reported the matter to her mother. Mrs. Huggard has q brother by the name of Sterl Godfrey living in Little i Rock. She at once wrote and in formed him of the affair Mir. God frey did not get the letter until yes terday, when~ he at once came to Pine Bluff On his arrival he began
 to investigate the matter, and fnd- ing evidence sufficient to lead him to believe that the insult had been proffered his neice by Mr- Colburn he went to the eun-store of C. yoss < Bro, hired a double-barreled shotgun. and then i'll company with Mrs. Huggard, her daughter and the negro woman, went to the gin operated by MT.

The Local Newspaper.

Speaking of the value Of the local paper as an advertising medium, Charles Austin Bates in the Trade Magazine, Philadelphia, says:
 There is no printed thing which IS so near the heart of the commun- ity as the local paper. The pulse of every local life beats in it's every issue. An epitome of the worlds news glows ill it's bright pages, and the busiest news of the local stores should be i'll it, too; should be there not to held the paper along, not be cause the editor is a nice fellow and he wants to encourage him, not for any reason except the one great shrewd business reason-thati it will pay.
 If q merchant will take care of his space, change his copy, keep it fresh, and put interesting matterinto it, it will be read as assiduously and regularly as the specie habit of gos- sip. As it gets readers, so will the dealer get customers ,

 Work on the Montana mine in Orc Blanco is progressing satisfactorily An addition of sixty feet has been added to the mill and will be occupied by concentrators. The tunnel, which is expected to cut the lower works of the mine, has been in pay ore almost from the beginning This tunnel de- monstrates conclusiyely that the en- tire hill in which the mine is situated is all ore. The grade is not high but of sufficient worth to make the mine one of the most valuable in the entire country. The tunnel is being driven
 in as far as possible.
 In Yavapai county lIumbug district comes to the front with phenomen- ally rich gold strike, an account of which is contained in letter just re- ceived from that district, which states that, at depth of I30 feet, in .C. F. Champie's El Perro Pinto mine, recently bonded to T. r. Carson, ore assaying Slo,O0o per ton has been struck in the hanging wall. For two weeks work has progressed alongside this wall in ordinary gold bearing rock, when Mir Champie returned from Prescott and requested one of miners to drill into the hanging wall, which he did, with most satisfactory and surprising results, as he exposed vein of ore from eight to ten inches in width, the richest ever discovered in the district, the ore giving an aver age assay value of Sl0.0O0.

 owner.
 II. o. Hanson and J. E. Bettler have discovered and located what they be- lieyed is tin mine in the Cave Creek district. Mir Hansen has had wide experience in tin ore and has no doubt of the character of the mine. The only thing he desires to ascertain is the per cent of ore carried. It is currently reported that the Detrotrompany will soon move their plant in Morenci to the pump, four miles below Clifton. This will neces- sItatc the building of siding from the A. x, NJ. railroad and tram way or baby road from Morenci, to convey ore from the mines to the shelter
