VOICE OF ENGLISH WOMAN BEST

sCatbird'' Tones of Americans Due
to Haste In Speaking.
The devil hath not in all his quiver's
choice
An arrow for the heart like sweet
voice.
Byron.
Surely the women who screech out
their conversations in high catbird
voice have never been brought to a
realization of how excellent thing is
soft voice in woman, the Denver
Republican says.
The English women are conceded to
have much lovelier voices than the
American women, and it is only be-
cause the English women take time to
enunciate clearly, speak gently, in soft,
low tones.
The American women have just as
musical voices as their English sisters,
but the American woman seems to be
in such mad haste to get it said and
said first that no thought is given as
30 how it is being said. Children al
ways have beautiful voices. A child's
voice never gets on ones nerves. 1t is
only later in life that the voice loses
it's sweetness.
How often a pretty face loses it's
charm the moment the owner speaks,
and. on the other hand, most unat-
tractive woman will, when speaking,
be irresistible owing to the beauty Of
her voice A certain gentleman gives
as his opinion that women as they
grow older become victims of the nag
ging habit and the querulous tones de-
velop in consequence. If this is true,
it is time woman cultivated the happy
habit instead and thereby add to her
charms the wondrous fascination of a
voice "ever soft, gentle and low"

Most lawyers take a keen delight
trying to confuse medical experts in
the witness box in murder trials. and
often they get paid back in their own
coin. A case is recalled where the
lawyer, after exercising all his tan

quizzically at the doctor who was tes
tifying and said:
"You must admit that doctors some
times make mistakes, won't you?"
"Oh, yes. the same as lawyers" was

the mind is an agent of healing. Some en-
brace it, other laugh it to scorn. It has in
spired the practice of shameful quackery upon
credulous subjects so that the history of the
application of mental influence to healing

ORIGIN or "HOBSON'S CHOICE"

1t is case of Hobson's choice
is phrase that is used by many
people without knowing exactly
what it means, says a writer in the
July Strand Magazine. AS a mat
ter of fact this adage has been
handed down to use from the seven
teenth century and had it's origin in
the eccentricities of one Tobias
Hobson. This worthy was a carrier
of Cambridge, who died in the year
1880. In addition to his ordinary
business he kept stable and let
out horses to the students at the
university. He made it an unalter-
able rule, however, that each animal
should have an equal period of
work and rest, and would never let
one out of its turn. Consequently,
instead of being allowed to select
the steed they most fancied, his
customers had to take the one that
stood next to the door. If it did
not meet with their approval they
had to do without ride. Hence,
the proverbial expression, Hob
sons choice" used to signify a
choice without an Alternative.

GOLDF|ELD OUTPUT
OVER 100000

The Goldfeld mining district and
camp will enl the month of June
and the first half of the current
year with, record of approximately
81 100000 gr oss production, and a
dividend record of S3.664, 098 paid
q I'd another $l,779,549 posted and
soon payable, making a total in
dividends paid and declared during
the first half of 1910 of SIS, 463, SAT,
chronicles the News. This is a
record that is not equalled by an
other mining camper mining district
in the entire world during the year
1910. In fact this performance is
such as to justly draw and COM
mand the attention of mining men
the world over to Goldfield and its
adjoining territory, as it shows that
the camp of Goldfield has gotten
down to actual mining, and that
the camp is of genuine merit.
Predictions as to production for
the remaining half of the year ARE
but guesswork, but provided that no
new producer Of size is put into life
before the end of the year, the
Consolidated should raise its record
for the first half of the year by
m ore than $5OO,OOO, giving it a
total of 100000 for the second
half.
Goldfeld Consolidated stands in
class alone, and as the greatest
gold mine in the world today, no
matter what he the angle whence
the viewpoint is taken. That the
New York stock exchange has re-
ported favorably upon listing Gold
field Consolidated is eloquent as to
the condition of the property and
the way its finances have been
handled.
Within two weeks the Consolidated
will have completed all repairs
necessitated by the big fire of
April 9th, and the entire 100 stamps
dropping as of old, and it is be-
lieved that the production will keep
inching up little by little until a
net profit of 100000 per month
will be the average.

cARNEGIE KNEW BETTER THAN THEY

There is no person possessed of a
grain of intelligence who will not
admit that Andrew Carnegie knows
more of the effects of tariff than
loes the congressional committee
Who brought out the recent report
On the high co st of living, therefore
what he had to say on the tariff
subject in his testimony before the
ways and means committee of the
house in December, 1908, will prove
of more than passing interest just
at the present time. When he was
before the committee at the time
Carnegie said:
"a protective d lty in its nat ure
and it's object means that the con-
sumer has to pay a higher price
than he otherwise would for the
articles protected. The only justifi-
cation for government raising
the price to a consumer of any
article, because that is what the
tariff does-if the tariff did not raise
the value it would be of no use
that is only justifiable when you
can induce body of capitalists to
risk capital in the experiment of
introducing the n.w industry into
the country, which is in its nature
temporary.
The iron master insisted that the
steel industry had outgrown the
tariff and that American manu-
facturers need fear no foreign COM
petition. Then he went on to give
this illuminating discussion of the
relation of protective duties to
trusts:
"Mr. Carnegie think that the
tendency of combination is to raise
prices and to exact from the con-
sumner what they safely can. If
there is no tariff the combination
comes together and fixes a price,
and it will fix the price lower than
if there is a tariff, l think you will
agree with me that the tendency of
human nature is to get good profit.
"Mr. Bonynge-Certainly.
mr. Carnegie-And that the tar
If would enable them to raise the
price to the extreme Of duty"
Mr.. Carnegie was under no
Illusions as to one of the sources of
the enormous fortune that the &C.
cumulated in the iron and steel
business. The tariff, he knew,
enabled him to charge higher prices
than he would have been possible
otherwise. All the buncombe in
the world from the politicians
anxious to save their political necks
after the plain facts set forth by
one of the foremost of the SYSTEMS
beneficiaries:
