Accidental Gold Discoveries.

From the Boston Post: Many OF the
gold finds In the klondyke region have
been purely accidental. and some of
them were decidedly interesting,
though perhaps not more so than many
accidental finds I'm our own west in
the '40s and sos. Ii was before 1850
that three men while looking for gold
in California discovered the dead body
Of a man who evidently had been
prospecting" Poor fellow said one
of the trio. "He has passed in his
checks" Lets give him a decent
burial" said another. Some wife or
mother will be glad II ever she knows
it," They began to dig a grace. Three
feet below the surface they discovered
the signs of gold. The stranger was
buried In another place. and where
they located a grave they opened a
gold mine. An adventurer who had
drifted into Leadville awoke one morn

mine in Leadville. was discovered by
a b%roken-down miner while digging a
grave. A miner died when there were
several feet OF 10Y on the ground.
His comrades laid his body in a snow
bank and hired a man for $50 to dig
a grave. The grave digger. after three
days absence. was found digging a
mine instead of a grave. While exca-
waiting he had struck gold. Forgetting

for one evening he quarreled with the
Warren sweetheart and the next day
he wrote her a letter saying II they

day Spearen wrote the Batavia Mary

peal to the Fair Sex.
Miss Frances Benjamin Johnston.
the Photographic artist, writes, in the
Ladies' Home Journal, on What a
Woman Can Do With a Camera" tell
ing the requisites for artistic and finan-
cial success in the pursuit Of photog-
raphy as a profession. 1T is a profess
sion,' she contends, that should
strongly appeal particularly to women,
and in 1t there are great opportunities
for a good-paying business-but only
under very well-defincd conuiIions.
The prime requisites-as summed up In
my mind after long experience and
thought are these: The woman who
makes photography profitable must
have, as to personal qualities, good
common sense, unlimited patience to
carry her through endless failures,
equally unlimited tact, good taste, a
quick eye, a talent for detail, and a
genius ion hard work. In addition, she
needs training, experience, some capt.
tai. and a field to exploit. This may
seem, at first glance, an appalling list,
but 1t Is incomplete rather than exag-
gerated; although to an energetic, am
bilious woman. with even ordinary op-
%portunities, success is always possible,
and hard. intelligent and conscientious
work seldom fails to develop small be.
ginnings into large results.
Good work should command good
prices and the wise woman will place
a paying value upon her best efforts.
II is a mistaken business policy to try
and build up u Ic by doing something
badly cheaper t,,1n some body else.
As to your personal attitude, be BUSH
ness-like in all your methods; cultivate
tact, an affable manner. and an unfail-
ing courtesy. 1t costs nothing but q
little self-cOntrol and determination to
be patient and goOd-natured under
most circumstances A pleasant, oblig-
ing and business-like bearing will Of
ten prove the most important part of a
clever woman's capital"
