A man from Massachusetts told the following
In one OF tho hotels last night: Few people
know that Hawthorne came near publishing
'Eyangeline.' which Lonfollow finally wrote,
but 1t is a fact. A few years ago there died in
Salem, Mass. an old gentleman named Horace
Ingersoll, who was not related to Bob Inger-
soil. hut who WIS a wonderful man In his
way. Years and years ago Horace ~Ingersoll
heard the story of 'Evangeline' from a woman
friend OF his who had been spending some time
in Nova Scotia. One dav the old gentleman.
who WAS u personal friend OF both Hawthorne
and, Iongfoilow, was dining at Longfel-
lows. homo In Cambridge. and Hawthorne
WAS there also. After dinner Ingersoll told 10
the two writer's tho story of 'EyanEeline.' and
Hawthorne decided then and there that he
would make a novel OF It.. He wrote q few chap.
ters and then gave II up In despair, because he
found that the subject was too grand for his
prosaic pen. SO Ingersoll gave Longfellow per
mission to. use the narrative. and under his
poetic touch II blossomed into one OF the master
pieces OF literature; 1 knew Ingersoll personal.
ly and he told me OF the circumstance only q few
months before his derIh. And. by the way, IL Is
worthy OF mention that IngorsOll diod In the

MAKER OF THE MAUsER.
It One of the Most Deadly Weapons
 Ever Used in Warfare

The war for Cuban independence has given a certain German gunmaker an immense amount of advertising No piece of Ordnance no machine for the destruction of human life, has been of tener mentioned during the war than the Mauser rife. It has all along been Iclaimed that the possession of this ex-
 ceptionally fine rife has greatly stren gthened the Spanish infantry forces. While we may ask ourselves what sort of resistance the Spaniards would have made with another and in ferior gun it is nevertheless conceded that the Mauser is one of the most deadly rifles ever used in battle. This rife was invented by William Mauser of Oberndorf, Wurttemburg. It was adopted in 1871 by the army officials of Germany. Afterward it was improved by another inventor, and those now used by the German army are called Mann1icher-M Mausers.
 William Mauser. died in 1882, and the manufacture of his rifles has been car ried on since then by his son, Freder- ick Mauser. who has made some changes in the rife, the principal inn provement being it's adoption to the use of smokeless powder MT. Mauser has introduced his rifles to several Flu ropean countries, Spain among them

GOLD MINING AS A BUSINESS.

The enc unanswerab1e argument in favor of the profitable nature of gold mining as a business says the Mining and Press Scientific, is the increased value Of the product, the only product of industry that shows such increase True. it is not called an increase, but the fact is manifest. Everything con- nected with it's production has increas- ed in convenience and utility, but de- creased in price. Mining supplies of all kinds are furnished cheaper and better 1925 today will buy what cost S100 twenty-five years ago; cost of reduc- tion has been reduced; labor is obtain able at lower rates; yet. contrary to the rigid rule in every other business instance, the product sells for the same price it did when the attendant cost of production was three or four times what it is now-s2067 per ounce It would be interesting to give tabulated statements Of cost-now, and say twenty-five years ago: giant powder then S1 per pound, now of vastly bet ter quality, 15 cents: candles. s20 per case, now S4; fuse s30 per 1000 feet. now $4 50; iron 20 cents, now : cents: steel 40 cents. now cents; tools of all kinds in like proportion. Nor is this all. In all other products the producer seeks the customers. the buy CT, the consumer In all other pro ducts lover production, want of con- sumption" business rivalry competi- tion, ruinous cutting of prices and other attendant annoyances embarrass the producer. In the case of the gold miner, he is saved all these troubles. In nearly every line of human indus try the question of freights enters largely into the problem; upon the ability of the producer to get the pro duct to market often depends success or failure of the entire enterprise. In the case of the gold miner freight charges are reduced to the minimum These are a few of the unusual cir cumstances attendant upon the busi- ness of gold mining and sufficiently il- illustrates the point.

FAST EMPHASIZES.
The People Are Not Satisfied With
 the Slow Kind

The naval construction board has at last replied to criticisms on it's fifteen knot policy for new battleships The reply doesn't suit the people, even if it does suit the experls-and that is doubtful, for the line officers of the navy are against the plan to man. The defense consists of lot of talk about how, to get the high speed de- manded, it will be necessary to in- crease the draught and beam of the vessels and put in new boilers, which consume room and reduce coal capac- ity The board argues that on account of the general sha1lowness of American harbors our battleships ought not to draw more than twenty-four feet of water
 They seem to forget that though the mean draught of the first class battleships already in service is twen- ty-four feet, the vessels usually draw more than twenty-six feet, as a matter of fact. Besides, the board says that, except in extraordinary cases, battle ships rarely move at greater speed
