HUMOR AS A WORLD FORCE.
Contrasting the Men Who Create With
the Men Who Destroy.

the Men Who Destroy.
Sir Herbert Tree in lecture at the
Birmingham and Midland institute
said:
"Humor may be help or clog In
life. Many great men have been with
out it. | think 1t may be broadly
stated that men of action, the great
destroyers, the men who take, are as
a rule devoid of humor, while men of
imagins tion and contemplation, those
who create, who give. have the gift Of
humor. Among those pre-eminently
gifted with humor were Abraham Lin
coin. Disraeli, Goethe and Heine. the
late Lord Salisbury, Arthur Balfour,
Dickens. Thackeray, Fielding, Shake
speare. Queen Elizabeth. Henry VIII.
Charles H., DR.. johnson, Charles
Lamb, Emerson and Byron.
81 could enlarge upon this theme un-
til your eyelids would no longer wag.
But will content myself with con-
trasting as typical examples of the
yea and nay Of humor two of the
worlds greatest tnen-Shakespeare and
Napoleon. the arch creator and the
arch destroyer. \
Shakespeare gave an abiding Joy,
one that will contribute to the happi-
ness. the education and the ennobling
of mankind throughout the ages. in
states unborn and accents yet un-
known Napoleon. on the other hand.

1t was not easy to get money in those

skin of coon he had captured and
offered to sell It to raise capital AT
Selms store on Wildcat corner the
coonskin would bring 10 cents. Bur
this was not enough. The boys thought
of plan to make it bring more.
Selms' back window was open, and
the place where he kept his pelts was
pretty handy. Huck went around to
the front door and sold the skin for 10
cents TO SelmS, who tossed ii back on
the pile. Then Huck came back and
after waiting reasonable time crawl.

skin and sold 1t TO Selms again. The

Brddshaw Visitor
 Recalls Long Ago
(From Tuesdays Daily)

AL Francis, familiarly known in days of long ago as the King of Packers" was an arrival Saturday from the Bradshaw mountains, this being his first trip to the city in many months. When mining was active in that region, Francis had train of between 600 and 700 head of mules, divided into five pack outfits, which often passed in and out of this city.
 One mule in particular then owned by the visitor was remarkable for its vigor, carrying at one time a single piece of machinery that weighed 800 pounds, from Crown King into the Tiptop country, which was considered feat that no other beast could ac- complish. Francis has quit throwing the diamond hitch since the coming of the railroad and is now yielding the lariat on his cattle range near Columbia.

OPERATORS COME ID START UP
 R|CHENBAR
MESSRS MOSES AND HAIR ROUN, DETAINED IN MEXICO, ARE READY TO- REVIVE OLD CAMP.
(From Tuesdays Daily.).

The closing of the deal few week:
 ago for the Richenbar gold mines 1T Black Canyon district, in which Al Harroun and w. A. Moses with other
 mining men figure as the future own.
 CTS, is given material consideration 1 for early operations by the arrival yesterday of the above operators
 Their trip to this city was deferred
 for several days, owing to the em
 barassing situation they faced while at the famous Fl Tigre camp in So
 nora, in which both are interested
 They will proceed immediately to Richenbar, where preliminary work is to begin on plan of very large oper' ations to be carried out on this gold producer of carly days, among which will be the retimbering of the old shaft, the repairing of the machinery and other important matters to get the camp in readiness for production at the earliest date possible.
 This property was purchased for quite large sum, it is reported, from Kansas City capitalists, among whom was H. M. Merriweather, one of the principal owners.
 Bullion Held Up.
 In reviewing the Mexican situation so far as 1t pertains to the Fl Tigre, Mir. Moses stated that he was placed in delicate position a short time ago, when he was endeavoring to get out of Sonora with the cleanup made in bullion of several thousand dollars from Fl Tigre mill runs. The first official to set foot on the ground and make demand for the license due for operating, based on the bullion pro duction on hand, was representative oi Carranza. He was followed i'm by Villas right hand man. who likewise demanded the same li- cense tax. There was a decided clash of authority between the two bellig- crents, each wanting what was due. Finally diplomacy prevailed in which MT. Moses was the arbitrator of the financial disturbance. After barley ing for a considerable time, the solu- ton was arrived at to split the differ ence and give Carranza and Villa an even bite of the bullion on hand. The Sonora tax was Sized up and reached to the sum of 'S20,000. Half a loaf was appreciated as better than none, | evidently, from the fact of American soldiers being on the boundary line, and within signalling distance, hence | the warriors cooled down when they | left with an even $100O0 apiece, which | t is believed will never reach head quarters. This tithe represents gross output of the Fl Tigre of near y $200,000. The property has been paying dividends for many years, which in the aggregate runs into the millions. It is too rich to close down ,ven under distressing conditions of war.
