she has been bothered by reporters.
When she has seen enough of metro
politan newsgatherer she says to him
calmly: ''You may as well go now"
1t is effective.
Yet Miss MacLane by no means de-
spises printers ink, for she is just
writing the last of a series of four ar
ticles for the World, for which she has
received pay at the rates given to such
writer's as Kipling and Hardy. Consid-
erably to the surprise Of the profess
sion, they have been extremely good
articles. too. She INDUCES in the Gus
tomary remarks about the rich people
who soak their bodies" in salt water
at Newport; but there is poetry in her
description of too little regarded sea
and air which made that resort be-
fore there was a 400" To her the
sea is the wonderful tide water" that
in Butte she longed to see. To her the
wind that caresses it is "a fascinating
seductive, sloe-eyed sister with soft
long hair and magic finger tips" You
''feel the touch of those finger tips"
''The perfume of her long hair is of
sea weed and salt and of moss and de-
cayed wood and of half-sunk islands
over the sea-" Exactly. That is what
the air is and what it reminds one of.
Miss MacLane refuses to be i'm
pressed by luxury or visible tokens of
wealth in New York. AS to the lat
ter, she says there are people just as
rich in Butte. AS to the former, she
takes to it like a duck to fresh water
She says she is genius, but she has
no notion of letting her hair go un-
combed or her gowns shabby. That
idea of genius no longer obtains
among women

England had no need to fear further

ported by it, frcm San Diego, founded
in 1869, to San Rafael, founded in 1917,
when California was annexed to the
United States In tie meantime Mexico
had sold the properties of the pious fund
in 1912 and turned the proceeds into the
national treasury, stipulating to pay the
church authorities per cent interest on
the capital sum in perpetuity. When
Upper California was coded to the Unit
ed States by the treaty of Queretaro,
Mexico ceased to pay it its portion of the
interest on the pious fund.
Church authorities made claim for
these arrears before a mixed commission
organized by the convention of 1868. Sir
Edward Thornton, the umpire of the COM
mission. gave judgment against Mexico
for $43 0S099, with arrears for twenty
one years amounting i'll all to 1904, 200.
This included all sums due to May 80,
1869, and Mexico paid it in full.
Since then there have been no pay
ments, and Archbishop Riordan is nov
going before the international court at
The Hague to claim the money which
has piled up since the church authorities
in California obtained their last contri-
button for the pious fund after Sir Ed
ward Thornton's finding in their beh4--'.

young man entering upon business ca
reer needs this quality-it is the one thing
without which he cannot hope TO De
successful business man.
There is a crisis IA every mans lie
when ne is called upon TO make mo-
mentous choice between the road to sue
cess and that leading to failure. He is
like a man walking along a straight road
who unexpectedly encounters a fork In
the pathway. Here three roads diyerge.
The center one, that most frequently tax
en-, leads TO mediocrity. OF the other two,
one leads TO success and the other TO
failure; there is no finger post, and a
mans decision depends entirely upon his
own intuition. This intuition is merely
the outcome of concentration. II a9man
has devoted his best efforts to the BUSH
ness he has in hard, he possesses the
ability to make a wise choice; if not, be
is lost.
No one can advise at the critical mo-
ment If the individual has earnestly
endeavored to master his business, and
has acquired a thorough knowledge of
it, he is in a position to map out the
right course for himself if not, no adj
vice can prove availing.
To succeed to-day. a man must possess
originality and perseverance; he must
master and understand himself and his
business and have stamina. Half-heart-
edness in business only leads to disap-
pointment. To succeed. a man must con-
centrate his thoughts and energies upon
his work. and such concentration is
bound to bring its own reward.

Fight for Real Democracy.

Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland,
Ohio, is the kind of reformer that the
profiters by abuses fear and hate most.
He is not an earnest poor man, an out
slider, who can be laughed at as a SEN
timentalist. a crank. nor an enyious
disturber Johnson is a millionaire, a
born money maker. whose business ca
pacity compels the respect of the mo-
nopolists against whom he is warning.
He knows sll about them and their
methods, and they know that he does.
SO Johnson is hated by the predatory
rich as traitor to their order, as every
man of wealth is sure to be who de-
clines to think that because he is a mil
lionaire he is freed from the duties i'm
posed by conscience and patriotism.
Mr. Johnson is standing in Ohio for
the Jeffersonian principles of equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none. The Democratic party of his
State has accepted his leadership with
enthusiasm. and the party of privilege
and monopoly, led by Mark Hanna,
finds itself with a hot fight on its
hands
Tom L. Johnson has brains. ardor for
the cause of popular rights and ire
mendous energy. Every citizen who
believes in government by the people
instead of government by money will
rejoice If the Democracy. commanded

is worth while. shall rout the Republi-
cans in Ohio.-Chicago American.
