BENENOnENCE.

Benevolence is one CT the noblcst attri~

and benefcient creator. Derived from
the Latin words bene well, and vclcns,
wishing, it has come to signify in its
different shades of meaning when applied
to human conduct, an epitouie of all that
is good and generous in the mind and
heart of man. 1t is an inborn quality
which can never be acquired by SELFISH

be desired. The heart that is full of

DEFICIENT ONLY IN DRAWING

The Washington correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch says There is much
regret expressed here among the friends
of General Fitzhugh Lee at the failure of
his son, George Mason, to pass the
recent examination ut West Point The
young gentleman was ..proficient in every
branch but drawing. and for this only he
was "plucked. Gen. lIancock's son,
who failed in the same class on philoso
ply, Il more serious deficiency than that
of young Lee, WAS voluntarily rcnstated
by the board. Secretary Lamont has de-
cided that Under the law he has no an.

case OF young Lee before the academic

The explanation of the sudden cooling

accord with the wishes of the new admin

Joseph Ladue, the new Monte Cristo,
doesn't look the least bit like several
million dollars. He looks very like a
storekeeper from Charles City, To-, or
a legislator from the 'steenth district
when he answers roll call for the first
time. But he stood at the desk in the
Merchants hotel yesterday afternoon
and passed around nuggets as big as
Dakota hailstones and allowed the null
titude to look at the man whose wealth
today is computed at more than
enough to keep him from sleeping out
of doors for the rest of his life-to say
the least. Every one knows who Joe"
Ladue is, of course. He didn't exactly
discover the KIondike, but he was
there when the other fellow did and
he got in and possessed himself Of
enough of it so that when he went to
his old home in Plattsburg, N. Y, a
couple of months ago, he was met there
by the emissaries of wealth and power
and then and there became the partner
of Chauncey Depew and other persons
who are strong financially. For twen-
ty-four years Mr.. Ladue rustled around
in the gloom of Alaska, associated with
Indians and ESkimoS, and made a not
very remunerative living by buying
muskrat and other pelts. That was up
to last year. Now millionaires leave
their cards for him at hotels and wait
about to be sociable with him. And
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-10-15

he takes it all very coolly wears store
clothes as of yore, and is not at all
tired of talking of the wonders of the
far country whose inherent riches are
responsible for all his fame.
Mr.. Ladue is short, stoeky and must
be about forty-five years of age, though
he looks about forty-not more. His
language is good, but he hasn't the
least bit of polish-his quiet, modest
and precise method of expressing him
self being the result. of many years of
life in the wilds, and he knows no
more of the vernacular than he did
when he left his home at Plattsburg
quarter of century ago to seek the for
tune which he has found in such meas
ure. His plain, strong face is decor
ated with broWnish muStache that
is no handsomer than a well used
backing brush, but pair of keen eyes
peer over an aquiline nose and those
features give the face character. He is
not at all embarrassed BY his wealth
and there is not a bit of chance Of any
one selling him gold brick or getting
any of his gold away from him for
anything but United States bonds. He
is enthusiastic about Alaska, as he
should be and says frankly that there
is plenty more money where he got
his and that he hopes other fellows
will do as we'll as he did.
Mr.. Ladue came in on No. 2 on the
Northern Pacific yesterday afternoon
and G b e reporter met him up the
country and chatted with him during
the run to ST.. Paul Mr. Ladue was
accompanied by E. F. Bottsford, Of
Plattsburg, n. Y, the secretary Of the
company of which Mr.. Ladue is the
head, Chauncey Depew the vice presi-
dent, and the governor. of the North
west territories a director. Mr.. Bolts
ford was a chum of Mr.. Ladue when
they were both boys. When Joe-Mr.
Bottsford calls him Joe-Went away to
seek his fortune, Bottsford stayed at
home and became lawyer-and when
Joe came back he took his old chum
into his confidence and asked him to
become the adviser of man who had
money to burn and didn't. want to burn
it. Mr.. Bottsford travels with Mr.. La
due and stands off thes people who
want to take the bonanza king into
partnership. The Clio b enman thought
Mr.. Bottsford was the 1fiilhonaire-he
looks the part more than his old chum.

said Mr.. Ladue, and went to Frisco to
