Mr.. MortonM manner is abrupt and
decisive. but there Is a kindly strain IN
his nature that endears him to all his
associates and particularly 70 those
working under him. For instance, he
once succumbed to the eloquence Of a
pass fiend and gave the man free
ride over one of the lines Of the Santa
Fe railroad, of which he was vice pres
lient. a day or so later the representa-
tive of another road TO whom appeals
had also been made for similar trans
portation was in Mr.. Mortons Office.
Some question came up with clerk
about the pass. and he spoke to Mr..
Morton regarding it in the presence OF
the other railroad man. This man inn
mediately chided Mr.. Morton for vio-
latfng pass rules and then retired. Mr..
Morton's wrath Immediately fell on the
unfortunate clerks head, and, although
the clerk is high railroad official to-
day. be says that he viii never forget
the scoring he received. He had no
chance to explain or say a word The
next morning he ventured an apology
and Mr.. Morton said: "0h, that's all
right. George. What made me mad
was that fellow coming in here and
violating the privacy Of our affairs.
You were not 10 blame, but we will get
even with him by cutting of his an

The most noticeable Characteristic
about Paul Morton. the new secretary
of the navy, is his scorn for obstacles,
says a Chicago special dispatch 70 the
New York Tribune. A story Is told
about a gate through railing that
fenced of a part Of an Office in which
Mr.. Morton worked az one time. This
gate had ore OF those mysterious pat,
emit fasteners which would not work
unless. one knew the right spot and
touched it. Preoccupied with the af-
fairs iii hand, Mr. Morton bumped
against that gate day after day Final
" in one Of his swinging strides he
broke the lock, and this evidently pleas
ed him. Yet it did not satisfy him.
Thereafter he used his foot and daily
played football with the gate until he
broke its hinges, and the janitor was
ordered to carry 1t away.

oppressor, as they did in the Trans
vaal, fofgetfulness on the part of their
cOuntrymen would be more kind to
their memory and certainly more char
liable than memorials of their dis
grace. If "a young man does something
wrong it would surely not be good
taste when he is dead for supposed
friends to keep what was bad in him
constantly before the minds of his rela-
tives. The same applies to those Irish
men who died helping England to steal
the goldtields of the Rand, crush the
liberty of God-fearing people, destroy
their homes, and starve their wives
and little ones. Charity, If not self
respect, should impose silence on the
people of Ireland in regard to the part
unfortunately played by some of their
countrymen in England's brutal war
on the republics of South Africa.
There We're several other Kerry
men in tire Irish brigade under Major
MacBride, and they showed the mettle
they were made of. Some others also
had chance to strike blow for free

streak by skipping over the border
when the brigade was about to so to
the front. One of these louth-mouthed
towards was recently strutting around

the people believe he was hero. His
friends apparently advertised his COM
ing by having published in the Kerry
papers a paragraph showing that be-
fore his departure from Capetown,
Where he had taken refuge under the
English flag after deserving from the
Irish brigade, which he had voluntar-
lily Joined, some foolish, though WELL
meaning, persons presented him with
a purse. Possibly they subscribed the
money to pay his fare to Ireland, as
they certainly could have no other rea-
son for so doing. Men of his stamp are
more to be despised than those mis-
fortunate lrishmcn who, 1 am sure
much against their will, played an ig-
noble part in a most unjust war. If
the people of Kerry want to erect a
monument to Il native of the King
DOM why not have one to that brave
Castleisland man. Michael Hannain,
who was killed June 81, 1901, in an at
tack on Il British position while his

There Is No Such Word as Fail.

The proudest motto for the young
Write it in lines of gold
Upon thy heart and in thy mind
The stirring words enfold;
And in misfortune's dreary hour,
Or fortunes prosperous gale
Twill have Il holy. cheering power
There's no such thing as fail.
The sailor on the stormy sea,
May sigh for distant land.
And free and fearless though he be,
Would they We're near the strand;
But when the storm on angry wings
Bears lightning, sleet and hail,
He climbs the slippery mast and sings,
"There's no such word as fail"
The weary student, bending DER
The tones of other days,
And, dwelling on their magic lore,
For inspiration prays;
And tho with toll his brain is weak,
Ills brow is deadly pale,
The language Of his heart will speak,
"Thcre's no such word as fail.''
The willy statesman bends his knee
Before fame's glittering shrine,
And would an humble suppliant be
To genius so divine;
Yet tho his progress is full slow,
And enemies may rail,
He thinks at last the world to show,
There's no such word as fail.''
The soldier on the battlefield,
When thirsting to be free,
And throws aside tyrant's chain,
Says-"On for liberty,
Our households and our native land!
We must, we will prevail;
Then foot to foot and hand to hand
There's no such word as fail!'

The News Bureau O. Boston has the following. It is almost as good reading as Mir Lawson'5 article il EverybOdy's Magazine:
 Mir Lawson has issued a circular 10 explain why the public is disap- pointed. as he "'knew it would be" over his magazine article on Amalga- mated. Lawson. of course. must be allowed to tell his own story in his own way. but the wisdom of Benia- min Franklin is recalled in this con nection, that the man that is good al excuses is not much good al anything else.
 And perhaps the wisdom of II. H Rogers may also be. recalled in this connection. He says, Don't pay any attention to the fellow who is going to hit you: look out for the fellow who will hit you without any notice" When one reads the Lawson introduc- ton to the story of Amalganated. he wonders whether all literature is not more or less of a fraud. Here is a beautifully written prelude to a drama It is the opening epic 10 a poem Of tragedy; and yet its words are hollow. Indeed to those who know the facts they carry the sound as of hol- low mockery of the tragedy they would describe.
 Lawson has declared, in effect. that he is the creator. the inspirator aud the public endorser and promiser con cern.ng Amalgamated, now described by him as a piece of frenzied finance built from the fraudulent treasury of the Bay State Gas Co.

Backed up by over a third of a century of remarkable and uniform cures a record such as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, the proprietors of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully war ranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money of the United States for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolap- sus, or Falling of Womb which they can not cure. All they ask is fair and reason able trial of their means of cure.

Junction The drift when completed will be the longest by a considerable distance of any in the field of mining in the southwest. IL will take possibly not much short of one year to com plete a connection of the Junction and C. & P. shafts by means of this drift, but the object warrants the eXpendi- ture of time and money necessary. August next will most likely see the reorganization of the Pittsburg ( Duluth into a mining company. This information is given out by excellent authority and can be relied upon. The conditions of the reorganization will be similar 10 those under which the L. S. & P. was recently made into a mining camp. The fact that the P. & D. is so near 10 an important state is proof positive that she will figure among the bi zones. With her claims bordering those of the Calumet & Arizona, and a connection already having been made between its shaft and the c. & A. Irish ! Mag, there can be no questioning that copper will be forthcoming from it's workings that are making excellent headway.
 By the carrying out of plans as set forth in the foregoing it will be readily seen that the management of the "Bo- nanza Circle" properties intends to have all its mines connected by web of tunnels and drifts The manage ment's plan is practicable and wise and not until the history of these mines magnifcently profitable mines of the future-will be read in later years will the general public discern and under stand the unerring judgment and fore sight tha; the eminently efficient men at the head have exercised. Let the reader mark well these words and re- call them at some future date when they will have been demonstrated as facts.
 One of the development properties in this district that has been but little mentioned. but which has most excel lent chances of proving up a rich mine, is that of the Saginaw Development company. Its lands adioin those of lthe Junction company in the flat be-
 low the Calumet & Arizona, Calumet
 & Pittsburg. and Copper Queen. The
 company has only been recently or. ganized, but nevertheless is going for ward with work that will prove it's
 value in as short time as could be
 expected. It will be necessary to sink
 10 great depth oascertain whether or
 not there are rich ore deposits located
 beneath Saginaw ground. and excellent
 work ir this direction is now steadily
 in progress. A working shaft of large
 size is being sunk at favorable point and in a short time the company will
 install a diamond drill to be operated
 from surface anG other points for ex
 plora;ory purposes. Fritz" Harring
 ton is experimenting work at the Sag
 inaw. He is one of the most compe
 tent mining and civil engineers in tht !. district, and his confidence in the prop
 erty was such that he resigned his DO , sition with the Copper Queen people much against their wishes, so as to b. . able to assume charge of the new , mine. He will conduct extensive worl , on the Saginaw property, and it vii l not be surprising should the exploita , tiCn here result in proving that larg' ; ore deposits extend 10 this point of th' "at" country and possibly beyond Mining World.

ney and Others.


Further to emphasize the absence of
harmony in the city council at Bis
marck, that body at recent meeting
directed the mayor, F. H. Register, to
discharge City Attorney Edward S.
Allen on the ground that he was inter-
ested in the Bismarck Telephone COM
,pany, corporation holding fran
chise from the city. Mayor Register
held the law did not apply to simple
stakeholder in a corporation, and ruled
the motion for Aliens discharge out of
ORDER but it was passed by a vote of
s to 1.
The council also ordered the dis.
charge Of the day police officer, the
one being aimed at being T. G. Ritch-
ey, chief of police, and an appointee
of Register. The council also passed
over the veto of the mayor resolu-
ton vacating the present city hall and
directing that provision be made for
holding meetings in the court house.
Mayor Register stated that he would
not discharge the city attorney on the
showing made, and further intimated
that he would not remove Ritchey as
chief of police. Another meeting of
the council will be held soon, when
there will probably be more fireworks.

there was high feeling against the man
