VARIETY IN READING.

Interest, more than anything else,
makes results good or mediocre, and
it is important that man should not
confine his attention to one line of
effort long enough to allow of that
activity taking on routine characters
tics. The fact that results are at
tanned largely by following along we'll
trodden paths, does not lessen in any
degree the application of the doctrine
Of variety to all lines of work, study
or recreation. A moments thought
will convince any one that when in
terest wanes ever so slightly, just so
much is subtracted from the aggregate
worth of the accomplishment. When
enthusiasm is ASSOCIATED entirely
from either work or play, neither of
these functions continues to serve a
useful purpose.
Oftentimes we hear the remark that
man who does much so-called heavy
reading must frequently peruse books
of lighter vein in order properly to
absorb, classify and store away the
facts worth preservation. There is
much in that view of the matter. All
prose and no poetry is not an ideal
state of intellectually; but neither is
all poetry and no prose, if such con-
dition were possible, conducive to good
balance. We need to be reminded,
now and then, that judicious inter-
change of fact and fiction helps to
maintain interest in the former, where
as sole attention to fiction would
quickly make reading improbable.
Also, a man may pride himself on his
familiarity with Blackstone and Kent
while still enjoying the works of
James Fenimore Cooper or James
Whitcomb Riley. Some readers, it
seems, whose tastes run to historical
essays like those of Burke or Ruskin,
must eventually find literary safety
therein and turn for relief to the de-
hghtful character studies of Charles
Dickens or the tales of Robert Steven
son. From Emerson to Cervantes is
long stride, but the return journey
may be found easy.
The object Of reading is to gain both
learning and pleasure, and without in
terest neither of these results is pos
sible. Persistence in one kind of read
ing, moreover, prevents a mans out
look from broadening through the ac-
quaintance of many justly celebrated
authors. For real profit in reading, |

Eaton, who reached home from Hot
Springs Monday appears to have it all
this season. The stay at the big re-

the st. Louis manager were both bene-

weight while away, and has speed,
control and all those confusing curves
this year. Manager Smith never saw

the outlook. Then that big red-headed
catcher, Wickenhoffer, we got from

the best in the Cotton States. He al

sets ones teeth on edge to hear about

BUTTE ACCOUNTS SHORTAGE.
But City Treasurer Says He Can Elk
plain the Matter.

Butte. Further investigation in.
to the affairs of the city reveals
a shortage which in the opinion of
many may amount to hundreds of
thousands Of dollars.
According to the audit, former City
Treasurer Goodwin is short about $780,
OOO. Other accounts are so befuddled
with records missing, books gone and
pay receipt stubs lost, that it is I'M
possible to trace the sums received
a. disbursed. Thirty-four poll tax
books representing 3,4C0 receipts of 81
are missing.
Former Treasurer Goodwin says this
would represent a shortage of s12,-
14O.16. About $1,000 of tax money
turned in to Treasurer Goodwin is not
found recorded in the city's books, &C.
cording to the auditors. A deficiency
of nearly $4,000 is found in Goodwin's
personal tax collection.
The chiefs of police of Butte have
kept all the fines collected from gam
bling houses and slot machines from
May 1909, to November 80, 1910, It
would appear from records. The au-
ditors say they found no account of
any fines being turned over to the
city. According to the audit it ap-
pears that about $4,000 has been d.
verified by the Butte police officials the
last ten years.
Goodwin in statement says there
is no shortage, and that he will ex-
plain everything. He is prominent
politician, being candidate of the
party for state treasurer and auditor;
he was also chairman of the Silver
Bow county committee.
