How Painter Lawrence Got His start

How Painter Lawrence Got HIS start
Sir Thomas Lawrence was one of the
great portrait painters in England. His
parents were poor. his father being a
country innkeeper. One day Lord
Shaftesbury's father and mother stop
ped at the inn, having their young son,
the future lord, with them. In CONVEX
sation the innkeeper spoke of the gen.
ius of his boy In drawing and wished
them to test it by picture of their
son. They assented, thinking to graft
fly fathers pride, but not looking for
any evidence of superior talent.
The boy came in modestly with chalk
and paper and in a few minutes had
drawn picture of their son, on which
the parents looked with wonder. They
recognized the genius and promise Of
future greatness and befriended the
young artist. giving him the help need
ed to develop his wonderful gift.

SOUL or LIFE IS LOVE.


The world is a sterile cliff,
But love is like the dew
That falls upon it. and the moss
Like life springs from the two.
1t creepeth Ger the barren stone
Till all the place be yerdant grown.
The world is rs a blasted oak,
But love is like the vine
That trails it Ger; its sunlit leaves
Like life the two entwine.
The trunk is green that erst was bare,
And blossoms kiss it everywhere.
The world is as clouded sea,
But love is like the sun
That steals along the murky ways
And brightens every one.
Ger gloom is golden glory flung,
And sunbeams sport the waves among.

IN AN OLD ALMANAC.
SOME CURIOUS FACTS cULLED FROM
A PUBLICATION OF 1885.

Dramatic Incident In the House
of Representative Anecdotes of
Washington - Old Time Postage
Rates-Men Who Rose to Fame.
Among the finds in a recent rummage
through a secondhand booksellers stock
was a copy of the American Almanac
and Repository of Useful knowledge For
the Year 1885," the contents Of which
were, its publisher assured its readers,
''of permanent and indeed of increasing
value" Certain it is that they are of in
terest now, although in a way hardly ex-
pected by the Industrious compiler.
First, of course, come those astronom-
ical calculations and predictions which
furnished the excuse for almanacs then,
as now. To these is annexed an extended
account Of the meteoric shower Of Nov.
Ii, 1888 The almanac records that some
of the fire balls on this occasion were
SO bright as to be visible after the sun
had arisen, and a DIR. Smith of North
Carolina is quoted as declaring that he
saw one charger than the full moon ris-
ing"
Furthermore, the account continues, "at
Poland, O., a luminous body was dis
tinctly visible in the northeast for more
than an hour. 1t was very brilliant, in
the form of pruning fork, and apparent
emily 20 feet long and Is inches broad.
1t gradually settled toward the horizon.
until it disappeared. At Niagara Falls a
large, luminous body, shaped like a
square table, was seen nearly in the ze-
NTH, remaining for some time almost sta
tionary, emitting large streams of light.
Passing to the department Of useful
knowledge it is recorded in the "Chron-
icle of Events" that on July 8, 1884, the
weather was extremely hot and "eight
persons land on the 9th II persons) died in
the city of New York in consequence OF
drinking cold water"
A dramatic incident is also set down as
having occurred at the capitol at Wash
ington Feb. IL. On the preceding day
Thomas Tyler Bouldin, M. c., from Vir-
ginia, had been censured by a colleague
for emitting to call the attention Of the
house to the death of his immediate pred
ecessor, John Randolph. On the 18th be
had risen to reply when he was seized
with a paralysis, sank down into chair
and died Immediately"
The rates of postage in 1885 would
somewhat startle our postmaster gen.
erals present patrons. For a single let
ter composed of one piece of paper the
schedule was as follows:

The reading matter descriptive of the
oil land and explaining the certainty Of
dividends would do credit to that i'm
mortal liar. Ananias, himself. The claim
is made that one acre of oil land con-
tains $4,000 barrels Of oil. Ten acres
would therefore contain 1860, 900 bar
rels and 100 acres 1,760, 1000 barrels.
Even at so cents a barrel this would
amount to $3.50, O0O, 900. The circular does
not claim that oil has been struck on
the land of the company, but INDUCES
in the usual clap-trap about what other
concerns have struck and what tremen-
dous dividends await the investor in the
new enterprise.
This circular and the outfit which
issues it are characteristic Of nine out
of ten of California oil enterprises. Most
of the land is leased for 81 an acre,
capitalized at from 100000 to 100000
per acre, and sold to confiding public
from 10 cents to dollar a share
Let any man who has bought stock
in these schemes offer to sell it back
for so cents on the dollar and note how
promptly his proposition will be de-
cllned. That ought to be proof enough
of the worthless character of such stock.

MINING CONGRESS OF

Mining Men From Every Land Will

sis going to be on a scale that is per-
haps not realized by MOntanans, orsin-

men, experts of world wide reputation,
from almost every country on the globe;
at least every country that has mining
industries worthy the name. 1t is not
local in it's scope, but is laid out as the
name would indicate-internationa in
very truth.
''Boise is going to do herself proud on
this occasion. We have the money and
Athe disposition to make a spread, and
we're going to do it. You can urge all
the Montana mining men to come over
and be our guests with the assurance
that they will be entertained with true

MOuLOERS TRYING
TO END TROUBLE
Of the Iron Founders Association
Hold a Conference.
Situation Is Complicated, and Many
Men Will re Affected IN Case
Settlement Fails.

Chicago, July martin Fox, president
of the Iron Molders' Union: M. j. Keogh.
vice president; John Campbell and David
Black, members of the International ex-
ecutive board, have arrived in the city
and are now in conference with the COM
lnittee of the iron founders association.
All attempts to reach a settlement be-
tween the local molders and manufac-
turers have thus far failed.
Not only will the peace of the molders
in Chicago depend on the outcome of the
conference, but it is expected to establish
a precedent for other manufacturing
concerns throughout the country.
In Cleveland. Cincinnati, and other
cities conditions similar to those exist
ing here prevail, and these cities will in
all probability follow Chicago's lead.
The present holders scale is $2.,5 for
floor men and $3.50 for bench molders.
This distinction between the two classes
is said to have grown out of the hard
times of 1898, and the union is now MAX
ing an effort to have it abolished.
1t will affect 1000 iron workers in Chi
csgo and vicinity. The situation is said
to be more complicated than usual. The
molders are hopeful the mission of their
officials will be successful.

Petty Offenses Against the City Law
Have Worn Out Judicial
Pafiance

Judge Boyle stated yesterday morning
that Migrants will hereafter be COM

the county Jail when they appear before
him in police court. He said: 'The
common vag has been increasing rapidly
during the past few weeks, and although
many have been given tie passes out Of
Butte, from this time all will have an
opportunity to board with the county for

Judge Boyle states that the frequency
of begging and the insults which follow
each refusal, must be stopped.
The robbery of the young miner, A..
Hulthusen. a few days since, by John
Corcoran and George McVeagh, after he
had given them drink and offered to
buy both a meal. convinced Judge Boyle
that tough characters are headed this
way, and he proposes to change their
direction if possible.

Modern Minin9.

The industry of mining is destined in
the near future to undergo some Won
derful changes. All over the west in
the abandoned mining camps are vast
dev,sits Of ore carrying insufficient
value to pay for hosting and treatment
cries, however, give promise of the cary
profitable working of these ore bodies.
Among them is a new explosive which
will do away with the dangerous and eX>
pensive dynamite mixtures now sold for
blasting. 1t is not only far more pow
erful than the powder in present use ana
less injurious to the health of under
ground workers, but it's cost is compare
lively nothing. Liquid air is also des-
tined to play an important part in the
mining of the future, so that the IN
creased cost Of deep mining under ord-
nary circumstances, as well as the fire.
quent diminution in metallic values, will
be more than offset by cheaper ex
plosives and cheaper power.
But perhaps the boldest proposition Of
modern mining engineering comes from
the johannesburg district, in South
Africa. In some of the great mines Of
that region much Of the ore is Of too
low a grade to warrant hosting ana
hauling. To obviate that drawback ana
increase the profit Of the richer ore it
is now proposed to reduce the ore undcr
ground. Down in the deep, vast cha,n.
bers are to be blasted out and mills
erected as near as possible to the or.
reserves, The scheme looks chimerical
at the first glance, but careful consider
alton shows it's entire feasibility. The
great mining captains Of the Rand dis
trict, most of whom are Americans, are
figuring on the proposition, and pro-
nounce it practicable.
If a mill can be built and operated
| under ground, why not a smelter?

CROOKED GAMBLING is
PUT OUT OF BUSINESS
Men Who Are Fleeced in Games Run
on the Quiet Enter
Protests

The chances are first rate for the
gamblers who are attempting to operate
games in the city Of Butte to take rope
enough to hang themselves and bring
about their own undoing. The games run
under cover and in defiances of the law
are for the most party as crooked as they
can be and the men who are feeced in
the games conducted behind closed doors
are quick to turn in the evidence to the
ro.ice.
Yesterday a saloon keeper on South
Main street was approached by menu
Der Of the small fry gambling fraternity
who wanted to run a little social game
In the saloon mans back room. The
proprietor of the place bit at the game
and allowed the sharpers to run what he
supposed was a social game of poker be-
tween friends nearly all the evening. The
patrons OF the game lost several hundred
dollars. declared the game was crooked
and complained to the police and secured
the return of their money. The pro-
prietor of the place gave aid to the Of
ticers in experimenting the men who had
conducted the crooked game and learn
ed valuable lesson in keeping a safe
distance from the strong arm Of the law.
The police are confident that the games
running behind closed doors are all of
the dishonest class and the patrons of
the places that are being run on the quiet
will complain to the authorities when
they are fleeced, thus working the un-
doing of the sharpers
The officers are working both ends of
the gambling fraternity against the mid
die and expect to close all games played
for money and keep them closed.
