An Affair of Leffera.

We are much surprised at meeting
little Polly Contossel, formerly of Bow
ersville, in England.
"Why, Pollyw we say "How is 1t

"Polly!" she repeats, with dignity
we never knew she possessed. Lady
Oledebts, If you please"
An apology on our part establishes
friendly relations once more, and she
tells us that she really has won and
welded Lord Oledebts and that her ia
theirs dollars are being expended in the
refurbishing of the Oledebts castle.
But" we say, ut was rumored in
Bowersville that you were hesitating
in your choice between three honest

Is r,hsr. an American Face,

The English face, the Jewish face,
the Irish face, the italian face, the
Chinese face, the Japanese face, the
French face. the Indian face, even the
negro facial these have something
about them which calls up a definite
picture in ones mind. But the Amer
lean face has no strong characteristic
to differentiate 1t from other faces Of
superior races, remarks London Health.
1t 1s international, for here and there
one may find the traces which suggest
relation to this, that or the other face.
1t may be a line or a ligament be-
queathed BY an early English ancestry,
or something suggestive Of Teutonio
origin, or a sharp suggestion of the
Frenchman's face or the Irishman's or
the Italians or the Scotchman's. But
when one must deal with the American
abstractly one can scarcely call up the
American face.
Uncle Sam, with his striped trousers,
his sharply cut coat, his plug hat, his
whiskers and his bland, good natured
countenance, is happy conception,
yet he may never hope to portray the
matchless and indescribable cosmopoli-
tanism of the American face.

Perception of the Beautiful.

An instance Of the Italian child's
quick, poignant perception of the beau
tiful occurred the other day in one of
the settlement libraries. A shy little
maiden, with a world of dream
thoughts in the depths Of her dark
eyes, stood by the librarians desk
waiting for Andrew Lang's Gray
Fairy Book" But when it was given
into her small hands all the wealth of
fairy lore between its covers was for
moment forgotten in contemplation
of the cover, a dainty design in gray
and silver. All thought Of the story
vanished. The child stood there ey-
ing the book with look that was a
caress, her hands just touching the
binding, tenderly, as something Of frag-
lie beauty. And then, very softly, as
If to herself, she said: II mustn't get 1t
the least bit dirty. It's so pretty

-Four times! Gracious, but you were
persevering! What did she say the

"She said if there wasn't another
man in the world but me she wouldn't

THAT was pretty strong. What did

"She said she liked me pretty well,
but she couldn't think of marrying me,
for she might see some one she liked

"Humph! And the third timer

Hastings and TiIden.

Hugh Hastings, when editor of the
New York Commercial Advertiser, was
incessant in bitter attacks upon Samuel
]. Tilden. One day he received a let
ter from Henry f. Spaulding, then
president of the Central Trust COM
pany, to the effect that his attacks
upon Mr.. Tilden appeared unwarrant-
ed, and unless he could give some sat
isfactory explanation Mr.. Spaulding
would discontinue taking the CONNER
cial Advertiser.
Mr.. Hastings replied, when 1 was
clerk in Albany Sam Tilden was
known as the boy who sold grated tur-
nips for horse radish, and he has been
doing it ever since"
Mr.. Spaulding did not stop the Com

LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
The Men and Women Who Garry
Chips on Their Shoulders.

Ehe Men and Women Who Garry
Chips on Their Shoulders.
The really unhappy man whose un
happiness is his own fault is the one
who is forever carrying "a chip upon
his shoulder" Perhaps his happiness
is his unhappiness, for when he is not
engaged in personal alteration he is
brooding over some fancied slight and
awaiting favorable opportunity to
give vent to his wrath.
The man with the chip on his shoul-
der is easily recognized. and his society
by wise people is carefully avoided. He
can go nowhere without trouble follow
ing in his wake. If he attends a the
ater he is either annoyed by the usher
or some one in the audience or at the
man in the box Office for not having
sold him a seat bought long before he
appeared at the window. He is the
bane of the car conductor, and on the
railroad train he succeeds in embroiling
himself in row with the brakeman,
conductor, Pullman car porter and the
passengers. Each flying cinder from
the locomotive is aimed especially at
his eyes, and he succeeds in stirring up
the spirit of mutiny in the hearts of
the travellers.
There are some women similarly con-
stituted, who manage to be in trouble
from the moment their eyes open in
the morning till they close them in
sleep. These people are indeed to be
pitied, if indeed they are not cordially
hated. This quarrelsome habit of mind
can be SO fostered that the petulancy
grows to be malignant disease and
leads sometimes to the insane asylum.
Parents who notice in their children
this fretful, quarreling disposition can
easily find a remedy. They may not
agree to the simply good,
sound thrashing. Every one has heard
of the story of the child who was con-
tinually whimpering and quarreling.
In despair the mother cried: "Are you
sick? What do you wantr Gravely
the child answered, 81 think, mamma,
1 want whipping" She received the
whipping, and there was a marked i'm
provement in her temper.-San Fran
cisco Post.

Tattooing is still favorite personal
decoration with some of the natives of

as formerly. Those who practice the
art have an effective way Of securing
their pay. The color extends from the
waist to the knees, no other part of the
body being marked. In the small of
the back the design shades off to a
point which is never finished by the
tattooer till his bill has been paid. AS

for many years refused to sell to any

Secretary Guinter spent two hours In
the bank Office discussing the plans and
scope Of the work before them. Mr..
Judd believed as much a. he could be.
lieve anything not demonstrated, that
q fortune in gold awaited the company
when the course Of the river was
changed 20 that man for the first time
could delve into the sccumulations Of
countless ages in the bottom Of that
river and the great hole under the falls.
Mr.. Judd was the most enthusiastic be-
lever in the concealed wealth to be
found in Gold River we ever saw, be.
cause, as he reasoned, that every other
gold bearing river in the northwest had
produced millions In gold, and all tho
rivers in the Kootenay country have
produced untold quantities Of gold, and
he spoke of the millions taken out Of
the Last Chance gulch at Helena Mon.
tana, and from the famous Deadwood
Gulch. He believed that the prospects
for great wealth in Gold River were
Just as good a. at Deadwood or Last
Chance, and these two river beds must
have produced over $50, 600, 600. At the
places named men secured the gold by
placer mining, but on the property Of
the Gold River Company, such q tor
rent Of water rushes down between the
rocky banks for over q milel ending
with q cataract, that no man has ever
tried to prospect that piece Of river but
thousands have gazed at it with gold
hungry eyes hoping for a chance. The
Gold River company is going to build .
great flune and divert the water to the
electric power plant on their townsite.
below the falls. ,
There is plenty of timber on the
company's ground to build the flume,
and when this is done then the golden
wonders of the river bed will be expos.
ed, but we expect that the greatest
amount of gold will be found in the
hole under the falls where it has &C.
cumulated for ages. The editor Of the
LEADER has never played against
chance, but he would be willing to put
up thousand dollars for the privilege
OF one hours work in that hole before
anyone else got in, such is our faith in
Gold River, and this faith is based on
what we have seen in Montana and
the Black Hills-at Helena and Dead
wood. ~
Besi6et, the gold proposition the COM
pany has = fortune in sight in q COM
mercial sense. Read the documents
presented by the Gold River Mining
and Power Company and if you want
to invest in q safe proposition, take
stock quick, because no more stock will
be sold than enough to build the tiume
and power plant. The company ex-
poets to get gold enough out of the
river to extend their electric power and
do all other things necessary to make 1t
one of the best paying investments in q
country that produces millions every
year. a..s.. ~.5

quires . large capital. The other is to
purchase good mining stock. and this
has an advantage, a. you can add to
your Investments from time to time
and increase your chances for large re-
turns. Mining industries all over
the country are booming. There

IL money In legitimate business when
conducted with energy and zeal, &C.

more money in mining than in any 9th

perishable. He however lends his aid
to the support of the great majority
who are laboring in other industries.
With the miner his products adds to
the wealth of the world. 1t is not per-
ishsble, but when once added to the
worlds supply of wealth, it remains .
permanent fixture. In gold mining
You cannot have an over production for
. world supply. That Is An absolute
impossibility. The wealth of the world
IL measured by the gold dollar. hence
We say there is money In mining Of
gold. It IL the great factor that moves
the world. II is the great keystone to
all commercial enterprises. The hard
or the panic. the harder you mine gold
tho greater the demand for it. There
are four ways Of obtaining gold from
the earth. First quartz, mining, treat
ing it by the smelter or stamp mills.
Second, by the cyanide process treating
soft rock and the tsilings from the
stamp mills. Third. Hydraulic mining,
where water is used by pressure through
. large nozzel, washing gravel banks,
running gravel and gold through .
sluice when the gold being the heaviest
settles to the bottom and held by stats
nailed to the bottom of the sluicewsy.
Fourth, placer mining This is the
