SAY 1T is FAILURE.

Out of 5000 pounds of Ellis county
shale, gold to the actual cash value of
ga cents was recovered by the Gage
process. This is the result of the mill
run of shale made last week at the
Fred Close mill at Smoky Hill city by
]. T. LoveweIl, the Topeka chemist and
assayer and the Cushing-Veale-H olli-
day syndicate.
1T proves the Gage process to be alb
solutely worthless said c. K Holi-

one of the men who made the shale
tests offers 81 900 to anyone who will Sc
cure commercial values of gold by the
Gage process, when the process is hon

WINGED that the Gage process is a fail
ure and will have nothing further to do
with it The result of the tests is the
hardest blow the Gage process has ever
received, and may shake the faith of
many people who have been expecting
great things as soon as the Beatty syn
dictate begins to operate its proposed
Gage process mill.

of the result OF the recent tests. that
the Gage process is an absolute failure;
that the gold which is undoubtedly in
the shale. can not be extracted by Mr..
Cages process. Mr.. Veale Mr.. Cush-

present during the tests made last week.

Magnates in Annual Session in Obi

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE annual meeting
of the American baseball league began
here today. 1t was said before the
meeting began that the magnates would
probably be in session two days and
that there would be little done that the
public had not been informed of pre-
viously. The formal transfer of the
Milwaukee club to st. Louis will be the
chief matter of business transacted.

HUNTING WITH A CAMERA.
Ernest Seton-Thompson Tells of
the Wild-Animal "Hunter."

Before Ernest Seton-Thompson started on
his last lecture tour, he explained his recent
arrest by an oficious Colorado game war
den on a charge Of Illegally batting for
bear. The fact Of the matter Is that he
was armed with nothing more formidable
than a camera. his whole object being to
snapshot" the bear. He was Immediately
discharged when the case was explained in
| court.
1.-THE camera is really the new weapon OF
the wild-animal hunter" said Mr.. Seton
Thompson. The anatomy. habits and pc
culiarities Of animals have always been of
interest to the hunter. but the study Of
these has been made much easier and pro-
ductive of better results by the use of the
camera.
Men WHO have tried both weapons US
ually a.ree that 1t takes more time to
shoot with a camera than with q gun. but
there is much pleasure derived from the
successful camera shots. An exposed Shout
der will answer the purpose Of the man who
shoots with a gun, but the photographer
needs a full view. close range and perfect
light conditions betuie he can hope for
good results Hi. Lest chances are acci-
dental, and for tnst reason he must be on
the lookout jug, as much as though he car
rie5 q gun.
Men who go into the woods to make
pictures at animals must have hantsmen's
knowledge to b successful. and for that
reason the best hunters become the mos,
successful photographers.
ut is very difficult to get a snap at bears.
and, knowing that the animals are in a
certain part Of the country. one can do
nothing more h wait for them to come
and have their pictures taken.
Some Of the best opportunities present
Themselves after shutdown at times when
the man with the gun would have no diff
ficulty in bringing down his game, while
the man with the Gamers may find the lit
tie available light In the wrong quarter and
thereby miss his chance.
MY chief motive. my most earnest UNI
derlying wish. has been to stop the exter-
minatlon of harmless wild animals; not only
for their sakes. but for ours. firmly believ-
ing that each Of our native wild creatures
Is in itself a precious heritage that We
have no right to destroy or put beyond
the reach Of our children"

At His Desk.

The figure OF the man in the chair by
who had not met this author before. or
was not familiar with his career. The years
are not yet three since the reading world
realized that q new star had swung into its
armament. and in these days when youth
70 king 1t was but natural to suppose that
the new star was that Of a young man. But
It was not So. To change a perilous meta
phor. It was a light too long hid beneath
the bushel OF anonymous journalism that
now shone forth.
Tho figure in the chair Is that of a man
OF three score years-a man Of handsome
proportions. with a face on which the
marks Of the thinker are writ deeply; a
touch of leonine dignity in the head Of sill
vering hair. He wears a dark brown vel
vet Jacket. which. to me. is an echo Of old
times, when every wardrobe had its spris
OF lavender. When he talks it is in a soft.
mellow voice. that suggests the dreamer
rather than the doer: yet Richard WhitcinS
has been a strenuous worker all his days,
Writing has spelled bread and butter to
him, and he who would SO live must needs
work hard. When MIR. Whiteing thinks of
all the long years that he toiled through
midnight hours as a DAILY News" leader
writer, he must rejoice that at last he has
purchased with . pearl of great price his
freedom from the life of the journalistic
toiler.
But the long years of journalism had
much to do with the making of No. s John
street. for they brought to Mr.. Whiteing
the knowledge OF how to interest readers.
s'The FIRST desire of all writers Is to be
read" he observes. and the first essential
thereto Is the ability 10 he interesting. That
faculty may BIS acquired. certainly culti-
waited, and there II no better apprenticeship

tune, though vastly inferior books have

There is a charming. indescribable SAVIOR
about Mr.. Whiteing's style: the sharp turn
of a phrase, the quick allusiOn to some far
of but entirely opposite thought, the fond
ness for smiles from the classics. the hap
py Introduction of archaic eXpressions-all
these give to his writings a most engaging
individuality. 1t Is sad to think of such
splendid literary work having been squau-
dered for years in the editorial columns OF
a daily paper, in whose forgotten files it lies
securely buried. Not only so. but much Of
Mr.. Whiteing's best journalistic writing was
usually attributed to Mr.. Andrew Lang.
who boasts a style no doubt, but one
quite distinct from that Of the author Of
mo. 5 John Street" This is only another
OF the contrasts that enter into the story
of Mr.. Whiteing's life. His written express
sion Is precisely his manner of speech. The
same elements are present and the same
charm is there. His conversation is rich in
allusiveness; an hour or two with him is as
good as an afternoons browsing in a we'll
stocked library.
Cabinet of Clippings.
The humorist is essentially the man to
deal with the light and shade of life.
Humor is the salt of philosophy; even
Carlyle is the force lie is mainly because he
has humor." 1t must be his strong sense
Of humor that has made Mr.. Whiteing pre-
serve in an Immense abine which stands
in one of his rooms all the laboriously
gathered and carefully indexed clippings
which formed in days bygone subject mat
ter for many a lost leader in the daily
press. Perhaps. when smoking a m%editative
pipe, he peeps into this cabinet again,
knowing its contents are but waste paper
to him to-day. and. maybe. he laughs at
the strange fate which sets a man OF most
original genius to such work. But. after all,
the lesson Of his life is a good one. Does
not 1t illustrate once more the great truth
that only those who are capable of the best
are the most thorough In the smaller tasks
which fall to their share? Where the worker
is in earnest there is no work that Is con-
temptible. Richard Whiteing is a man who
would have dignifed any form of literature
or journalism he cared to take up. That he
may long be spared to cultivate his present
field is the hope of all who value good
w~ork.-Black and White.
