Tree Smuggling.

Smuggling of trees seems peculiar
action, but several women have en-
gagged in it-not as business, OF
course, but on their return from Euro
pean trips, says a correspondent of
the New York Press. The trees are
those attractive little Dutch cedars for
Christmas. In American cities their
price is high, whereas over in Rotter-
dam fine, fat little trees in the most
snowy of majolica pots may be bought
cheap. A thrifty matron from the
Quaker City who was abroad recog-
nized the possibility Of such importa-
tons, and she bought round dozen
before she left Holland. When she
disembarked on this side with her little
forest she suavely explained that she
was passionately fond Of green things
and sympathizing friends had present
ed the plants to aid her in passing the
time on the ocean. The customs in
spector did not have the courage to
suggest the lumber duty applied to
such trif1es, so in they came. Friends
are following Mrs. PENIS example.

MICHIGAN GlRL'SCONSTANCY

Her Promise Kept After Her Fiance
Had Lost Eyes and Hands.
A notable case of constancy on the
part of girl is shown by the presence
recently OF a bridal couple, Mr.. and
Mrs. George E. Nelson Of Ishpeming,
Mich, at the Plankington House In
Milwaukee, Wis, says correspondent
Of the Kansas City Star. Mr.. Nelson Is
blind and has lost both hands, but that
did not deter his bride from keeping
her promise, and they were married a
few days ago in the Michigan city and
soon after started on their wedding
trip.
Mr.. Nelson was the superintendent
of mine in Ishpeming. His fiancee
was the daughter of a man in comfort
able circumstances. They had been en-
gagged about year. Mr.. Nelson while
carrying a box of dynamite caps fell,
and the entire box exploded, destroy
ing both his eyes and tearing one hand
of and one arm at the elbow.

This mine, by the way, is the second
largest dividend payer in the United
States. The Calmut & Hecla company
holds the banner in the dlV1deno
mine list, having declared $99,35O,Ooo
on s2,5OO,O0O capital since organlza-
ton in 1871, and for the current year
has paid $7,OOO,OO0, or $50 per cent
on it's capitalization; the SIS shares
sold at $3.50 on November 80, making
the market value of the property
$86,000,O00, equivalent to more than
"a times the authorized capitalization
In other words, the dividends already
declared, plus the current market
value of the stock, makes total OF
s1S5.S5O,OOO, remarkable record fol
a copper mine.

BIG DIVIDENDS OF AMERICAN MINES

With silver and copper selling at
extraordinarily high prices; with con-
sumption and production of most met
ais fast increasing, and with greater
economies in mining and ore treat
ment, the American mining and metal
lurgical industries are today enjoying
unprecedented prosperity. With lis
of these corporations, according to a
careful compilation by the Mining
World, can pay in II months divi-
dends aggregating $84,64S,163, there
remains no reason to doubt that inves-
tors are receiving an equitable return
on their capital. Since their incor-
poration these lis concerns have paid
out in dividends the large total Of $751;
224,92S, which is equivalent to about
two thirds Of their capitalization of
s7S0,014,145 Even more surprising
is the fact that no less that 35 Of
these corporations, capitalized any
where from $4,000 to $30,000,0O0,
have either returned in full their
share-capital or have also paid a
bonus, and many of these properties
still yield handsomely. A good part
of the remaining so corporations have
returned from One-quarter to two
thirds of their capitalization, and it
would not be amazing to learn that a
number of them will in the not dis
tant future repay their total au-
thoriZed hare-capital.
Future Looks Bright.
To be sure, the harvest of dividends
must, by reason of the natural order
of things, tluctuate; but so far as can
be judged there should be good earn
ings for mines and metallurgical works
for some time to come. Even should
there be a reaction in metal prices.
there will still be margin of profit
sufficient to pay a fair dividend on
the capital invested in the respective
industries
In copper especially there has been
unusual activity during the past II
months, and the advance in the mar
ket price to the highest point in years
has not only stimulated new produc-
ton, but has resulted in enormous
ly increased earnings for the older
mines. heavyweight copper companies
declared dividends for the IL months
this year aggregating $56093,273, maxi
ing their distribution since organiza-
ton $334,970,446 on the issued capital
ization of $349,143,310, showing a re-
turn of about SO per cent Of course
there are number of mines that have
more than repaid their capitalization
in fact many of the older ones have
done so.
Amalgamated Does Well.
The Amalgamated Copper company
having an issued share-capital of
S153,OS7, 900, paid dividends of $1O.716.-
lo3 this year making a total to date Of
$43,411 ,230. The last quarterly diyi-
dend of this company was at the rate
OF per cent per annum; the stock
was quoted at the close on November
80 at $11225 per 500 share. The
Boston & Montana company, from
which the Amalgamated collects a large
part of the dividends it declares. has
paid this year s7,2OO,OOO on a share
capital of s3.75O,OOO, and has dis

An ActOr-AuthOr.

The author of Highland Mary"
which is soon to be brought out by
The c. M. Clark Publishing Co., of
Boston, is Clayton Mackenzie Legge,
the actor who has recently appeared
in the support of Maude Adams, Mrs.
LeMoyne, Mary Mannering and other
stars. Through his mother he is a
descendent of Henry Mackenzie (who
figures in his book by the way) the
noted author and publisher of Edin-
burg. The poet, Robert Burns owed
his popularity to the widely criti-
clsms written by Mackenzie which
appeared in the weekly paper, The
Lounger,"
Mr.. Legge states that the idea of
writing the romance of Highland
Mary came to him while travelling
from Edinburgh to London short
time ago. He was glancing over a
tiny book Ca souvenir of Edinburgh
bought chiefly because of its cover,
the Mackenzie tartan in silk en-
titled THE Life of Robert Burns.
IL was an exceedingly condensed his
tory but as Mr.. Leggo was already
familiar with the life OF the poet and
a great admirer of his works, II need

Strange to say no romance of this
exceedingly picturesque courtship
has ever been written in prose.
Upon his return to America Mr.
Legge started the story under the
most discouraging conditions. At
that time he was making one night
stand through the west and south
and at spare moments he would
write few lines on the manuscript,
sometimes in the cars. in his
dressing room at the theaters be-
tween acts and even while waiting
for trains in cold and depressing sta
tions. At tie end of the season he
had pile of manuscript composed
