PERSONALITY OF THE PoPEs.
Two or Three Bad Men Responsible for
the EVIL Spoken of Them.

=
the EVIL Spoken Of Them.
Two or three bad men are responsible
for almost all the evil that has been said
and written against the characters of
the popes in the middle ages. Farnese,
of Naples; Caraffa, of Maddaloni, an
other Neapolitan who reigned as Paul
w.; and Rodrigo Borgia, a Spaniard,
who was Alexander VI, are the chief
instances. There were, indeed, many
popes who were not perfect, who were
more or less ambitious, avaricious, war
like, timid, headstrong, weak. accord
ing to their several characters; but it
can hardly be said that any of them
were like those have mentioned, really
bad men, through and through, vicious.
inscriptions, and daringly criminal.
Paul ". outlived most of his vices, and
devoted his last years to ecclesiastical
affairs, but Alexander died poisoned by
an accident.
According to Guicciardini, the pope
knew nothing of Caesar Borgia's inten-
ton of poisoning their rich friend. the
cardinal of Conreto, with whom they
were both to sup in a villa on August
II, 1903. The pope arrived at the place
first, was thirsty, asked for q drink,
and, by mistake, was given wine from,
q flask prepared and sent by Caesar for
the cardinal. Caesar himself came in
next and drank likewise. The pope died
the next day, but Caesar recovered,
though badly poisoned, to find himself
ruined man and fugitive. The car
dinal did not touch the wine. This event
ended an epoch and reign of terror,
and it pilloried the name of Borgia for
ever. Alexander expired in the third
room of the Borgia apartments in the
raving of terrible delirium, during
which the superstitious bystanders be-
lieved that he was conversing with Sa-
tan, to whom he had sold his soul for
the papacy, and some were ready to
swear 1iat they actually saw seven dev-
lis in the room when he was dying. The
fact that these witnesses were able to
count the fiends speaks well for their
GOODNESS, at all events.-F. Marion
Crawford, in Century.

MAKING GOLD MINES PAY.

Miuions Sometimes Must be Invested -
Realize Any Success.
There are no hard and fast rules in
regard to making mine from the time
it passes into the prospector's hands
until it becomes dividend-payer.
Many mines are such, as the owners say.

large quantities of ore from the begin
ming.
j. B. Haggin, the millionaire mine
owner, took $4,000, 900 from the Custer
mine in Lemhi county, Idaho, before it
',ecame necessary to use candle. This
mine was known as the Mineral Noun
tain. A man came along one day, and
after looking at it remarked: "Why, the
hanging wall is gone" This was true;
nature had assisted the miner in this
case; the mountain side had been
eroded, leaving the mineral standing
there. Mr.. Haggin also spent about
s3,O00,0oO in developing the Anaconda
mine before it was on paying basis.
Mines have been discovered contain.
ing fabulous wealth, although a pros
:,ector would starve to death in trying
to work them. This was true in re-
gard to the Homestake mine in the
Black hills. The prospector who made
the discovery could do nothing with it,
and it passed into the hands of Senator
Hearst and other California capitalists.
They concluded that unless it was
worked on large scale it could not he
made profitable. An sO-stamp mill was
ordered and shipped in from Cheyenne
It q cost of $135,000 as an experiment,
The mine has paid in dividends $J7, 500
a month for II years.
It requires large amount of money,
usually, to put a mine on dividend
paying basis and as a rule this the pros.
pector cannot do, although prospectors
have made fortunes with their proper.
