Absence.

I saw him once, once only; years have
But still his image dwells within my
heart.
So handsome and pnsa then I thought him. so
1t seemed a grief to me that we should
part
He wore his well-cut garments with an
air
That would have well become a royal
prince
He left me. though. and filled me with
= despair,
I haven't seen him since.
His smile like a ray of sunshine
bright;
1t warmed my heart when he first smil-
ed
His hearty greeting gave me much de-
light:
His hand-clasp was as warm as 1t
could be.
No f1abby pressure of the fingers, but
A grip so hard and strong it made me
vince.
! look on this az fate's unkindest cut:
1 haven't seen him since
1 hear his voice, musical and low.
So soft and SO persuas ive that 1 thrill
At the remembrance. L should not,
know,
Have given up my fiftyzdollar BILL
But at the time full little did 1 reck,
So much embarrassment did he evince,
/ cashed that fascinating stranger
check,
I haven't seen him since

Pedro Alvarado, the Mexican multi
millionaire miner who a few years
ago was working in mine for So cents
a day, has ordered train of five Pull
man cars, in which he will make
tour of Mexico. He will be accom-
panied by a bodyguard of armed men,
Alvarado has just built at Parral the
finest residence in Mexico. More than
year ago he offered to pay the pub
lie debt of the republic, saying he had
obtained his vast wealth from the
ground and therefore he ought to do
nate that much of it to the govern
ment. This offer was declined by
Minister of Finance Limantour. The
only time that Alvarado has been out
of the Parral mining district was two
years ago, when he chartered a spe-
cia1 train and took his family with
him to the city of Chihuahua to have
gold filling placed in one of his
teeth.

A MiIIionaire's Within.

In the offices of William Waldorf
Astor on the Thames embankment
stands a steel desk, one of the curios-
tiles of which is the petty cash draw
er, always filled with sovereigns. Mr..
Aston, it is said, likes to feel that he
is always in command of sufficient
ready cash to buy anything that may
happen to catch his eye, and thus from
the couple of thousand pounds in his
drawer he takes handfuls of gold just
as necessity may require.

Cass Lake, Mimi, July 23-The
summary dismissal by the govern
ment of e. l.. Warren of this place,
from the office Of custodian Of the
ten sections Ca tract of land reserved
from sale or settlement under the
provisions Of the Morris laW), has
caused much discussion. There is
much adverse comment at the appar-
emily summary manner in which the
officials acted. Mr.. Warren was noti-
fed, in a curt communication, that
charges had been preferred that he
was interested in the proposed new
townsite of Beaudette, and that he
had ten days in which to answer. He
was away when the letter arrived,
and when he returned but a few days
interviewed before the expiration of
the limit. He at once wrote asking
an extension of time in which to pro-
cure the necessary affidavits and other
papers. This was denied, and the
next communication was that he had
! been dismissed Mr.. Warren enlisted
the aid of Congressman Buchanan and
| Senator Clapp,, and the case has been
reopened. The officials would not
give. the name of the party who made
| the charges, and scant information
was avouchsafed as to their character
Mr. Warren went to Beaudette, and
on his return here said:
Il found that the charges had been
made by Thomas t. How'd, a special
agent Of the land department. How'd
| was at one time a member of the
/ Chippewa estimating corps, of which
| was the chief, and was let out. At
/ first re denied knowledge of the
charges, but finally reluctantly ac-
I knowledged that he had made them,
but that>he did not believe that I was
connected in anyway with the town
l site Of Beaudette. That the charges
are absolutely false, I will have no
trouble in proving to the satisfaction
