He TRUSTED RHODES
Alfred Belt Always Followed the
Englishman's leadership.
sOw He Is the Biggest Man in the So.
Called "Kafiir Group" and One
of the Richest Men in
the World

Now that Cecil Rhodes is gone the
attention of those political students
and spectators who are following the
course of affairs in South Africa is
naturally directed to the man upon
whom will devOlve the burden of car
rying out many of the enterprises left
unfinished by the dead dictator. For
Alfred Belt, the physically inSignifi-
cant son of Hamburg Jew, the secre-
tive capitalist of Bishopgate street,
the mining king of Kimberley and the
Rand, is the central figure in the syn
dictate in whose hands now rests the
management of the Rhodes Interests.
Some men say that Alfred Belt is the
richest man in the world, but that is
probably an eXaggeration, although if
the South African war results in an
early settlement advantageous to the
British he will resume his money maxi
ing upon a scale which will probably
double and ever treble, within a few
years his present conservatively esti-
mated fortune of S13O,OOO,O 900.
1t is a coincidence worth noting that
Belt was born in the same year as
Cecil Rhodes. He was well educated,
for his father was a man of means, if
not of refinement, who understood that
the education denied to himself might
be of ines Unable value to Lis son.
When young Alfred left school Belt
pere got him good place in bank
ing house, where the boy displayed lit
tie of the remarkable capacity for
money making which was afterward
to place him among the worlds multi
milIionaires. He left the bank at the

II LINER CLIFTON was one of the
j. handsomest young men in CEN
trail Kentucky.
8 HE was great political genius,
too" was the decision of his young
lady admirers, though their decision
was invariably reversed when Elmer
would appeal to the editorial court.
But editors are cold blooded, hard
hearted, incompetents, while girls
when sitting in judgment on the lit
erary productions of handsome
man are broadminded, liberal, en-
thusiastic and, by instinct, critics of
unquestionable authority.
When Elmer's eye rolled in a fine
frenzy, such phrases as "Cupids
Dart" matched to tender heart"
would shower from his pen like dew
drops from a stricken rose.
He delighted to read his produc-
lions to a girl enthusiast. His vocal
chords were like guitar strings, and
when sensitive ear would incline to
his voice, sigh would ever and anon
tremble from a throbbing bosom and
square of soft lace go up to absorb
a tear.
With an enthusiastic hand he
would mail his productions to lead
ing magazines, and with nervous
hands and sickening disgust he would
soon take them from the post office
again.
But like most Kentuckians, he was
game, and one editor who had tasted
the mucilage on hundred of EImer's
return envelopes, wrote to him in
this way:
Il admire your pluck and persist
ency, i'll directed though they be.
Such energy and grit are worthy of
a better cause. If nothing will do you
but write, let your Pegasus catch the
epizootic as quick as possible. Send
me some prose sketches like ths
Dance at Daddy Darnell's,' My Own
Live Dog, or Last Fight of the
Feud,' and I'll be glad to look them
over, but please, oh, please, no more
poetry"
Then Elmer rose early in the morr-
ing and gathered together a great
multitude of his poems and cast them
forth into devouring fame.
He had just read in literary jour
nal that, in the sale of popular books
during the past year, David Scare'em
had led all the rest.
He, too, would write book, crowd
it with original characters, and, be-
ing young, would live to enjoy the
fame of it.
And where could he find better
field than the mountains of north
eastern Kentucky? From those OBJ
scure mountain pockets he would
lead forth characters so attractive
in their novelty as to fascinate the
gaze of all Christendom.
So, bidding many pale-faced girls
pathetic farewells, he set off for
Rowan county.

Dissertation on Envy.

Probably the thing hat causes more
grief than anything else in the world,
next to what wrongfully passes unoer
the name of love. say William Allen
White, is envy. Envy is the first and
best sign that a a who has it. is
losing his sense. For no one is really
worth it. To envy any human being
merely indicates that you don't stop to
think of his troubles. Life evens
things up in the world better than we
realize. The man highest up on the
ladder has the biggest drop before him
and the dizziest head. The man lower
down has the fun. Riches bring their
own burdens, power its own handicap,
glory its own drawbacks. The richest
man in this town would trade places
with a hundred poor men If he could.
The poorest man in town has his good
fortune. Hundreds of men and women
who are subjects of envy are carrying
secret burdens of pain and sorrow.
There is no canker like a hidden crime
and more than half the misdeeds of
the world are punished by ulcers in the
heart. The man who is not found out
is the al to pity. not to envy-and
the world is full of such men.
The mere sense a man gets the surer
he is that every man carries his OWE
burden and the heavier it gets. The
more sense a man gets the surer he is
to bestow charity on the rich and poo
alike and to envy no one. Charity Is
the essence of philosophy and religion
and happiness. 1t is all there in the
common sense. Malice never lee {
man to n good end; envy nevel
made anyone stronger or more usefu
in his trade or business. But giver
covetousness in a mans heart ant
crimes tempt him, all evil beckons t.
him. If men and women would onl.
learn to live simply and wholesomely
minding their own business, the mil
lenium would come in a few days.

THE SROMID DISTRICT.
What One Of Its Most Extensive Oper-
ators Thinks of Its Future.

w. A. Bell, of Tres Piedras, resident
manager for the Pontiac (Mich.) Gold
& Copper Mining company, has been
in Santa Fe for the past few days look
ing after the company's interest in al
adverse suit in which they are in
volved. In speaking of the future of
the Bromide district, Mr.. Bell says:
Il have been for years interested in
one way and another in mining in New
Mexico, and am thoroughly convinced
that the Bromide district has a great
future, which only requires a little pa
thence and judgment to develop. There
is not a district in the territory which
has a better showing for the amount
of work done than has ours. We have
all owe the camp prospects that give
every promise of some day becoming
rich mines, and there is not, that "a
recall now, a single claim which oes
not promise well. We have mineral at
grass roots, which you know is a
mighty good indication, as in our kind
of rock it gets richer as you go down.
There are half a dozen mines in the
camp, including the great Whale,
which could ship tomorrow II there
was a profitable method of shipping.
The Pontiac company is down 240 feet
in one of it's claims and has had ore all
the way.
According to the opinion of some
of the best experts in the country we
have got to go down to the base of the
mountain, which, where we are, is 300
feet, to get the real ore, and there it
will be very rich.
Yes. | am confident hat all any of
the companies in the district have got
to do is perform a reasonable amount
of judicious development to make the
Bromide one of the richest districts in
the territory, and thereby make Tres
Piedras one of the liveliest little camps
in the west. And | confidently look for
this development and consequent boom
within the next year"
