THE PRosPECToR
1t Takes Someone Who Knows to
Properly Define This Interest
ing Character-An Fastener
Will Not Do.

We read an article about the
prospector in one of our exchang-
es not long ago that was written
by reporter on the New York
Sun who had never lived outside
the city of New York. The article
was good one, and in many res
poets was true to life. We have
often thought we would like to see
an article upon this subject, writ
ten by real prospector. So we
concluded to write one ourself.
Some unkind people, who are for
ever picking flaws in the universe,
may say that we never did any
prospecting and there may be a
color. of truth in their statements.
but we can prove that during the
tungsten excitement two or three
years ago, we used to take our
lunch with us and travel all day
thru the hills prospecting. Some
times we did not get back home
until ten or twelve o'clock at
night. We did this not once but
upon several occasions. Some of
our enemies who are jealous of
our fame as prospector have al
legged that we were out fishing.
We have challenged them repeat
edly to produce any proof that we
have ever been known to bring
back any fish. Some of them, re-
alizing that they were cornered,
ceased making these unjust charg-
es, while others who cared but lit
tie for their reputation for truth
and veracity, continued making
the charges without offering
syllable of proof to support their
claims, but we think our readers
will agree with us that the proper
thing to do is to ignore these false
charges and proceed with our
story.
With the exception that we had
no jack and that we returned
home at night instead of sleeping
in tent, we experienced many of
the sensations of the professional
prospector. Upon more than one
occasion, when we believed we
had found the mineral which we
sought, we have had high hopes
of the future and rosy dreams of
wealth and pleasure. From this
pleasant and exalted state of mind
we have been plunged into the
gulf of disappointment after we
had our ore tested and it proved
to be worthless. Our experience
as a prospector leads us to be-
lieve that the romance of pros
pector's life is not in the present
but in the future. His days of toll
and loneliness by night and day.
are only endured because he
dreams of time in the future
when fortune will smile on him
by showering upon him her gold
en- treasure as reward for all
his toll and privations. The his
tory of the mines of the west
would show many who have been
thus rewarded. Some early and
some later in life, but the true
prospector never loses his dream.
Many of them have carried it
thru life and have taken it with
them in their journey across the
great divide"

ODD ROAD TO THRIFT.

Furs. silks and laces show thrift,
says a Chicago manufacturer
tprobably of furs, silks or LACED
Yet his theory is not so far-fetched
as old-fashioned people might
think. His idea is that the young
woman who wants the so-called ex-
traYagant items of dress, such as
silk underwear, silk hose and furs,
starts to save to get them. There
by, he argues, she gets the saving
habit and after her wardrobe is
complete she keeps on saving and
the money then goes into the saw
ings bank. The most extravaganza
" dressed girls in his factory, he
says, have the most money in the
bank.
If it can be figured that a young
woman with a taste for furs, silks
and silk hose can reach the point of
saturation, where she has no further
wants in that line, it is possible
that she may continue the saving
habit she has thus acquired. unless
she finds some other avenue of ex-
penditure. But on the main prin-
ciple that one has to save to get
what one wants the Chicagoan is,
of course, unassailably right
The road to thrift, whether the
goal be furs, silks, laces, a savings
account or what not starts tho same
way-self-denial in other things in
order to get the greater desire.

Passing the buck is as much a

LEADERSHIP.

In the autobiography of n man
who won distinction as a leader Of
men is an anecdote that tells how
he first recognized and put into
practice the principle of leader
ship.
He was the youngest Of a num-
Der of boys who used to gather
and roost upon a fence while they
talked over their plans. After a
time he discovered that whenever
a boy got down from the fence
with an air of decision and, said,
Come on, fellows" the others in
Variably followed. He determined
to make an experiment. One day,
when he and HIS friends were as
sembled and sitting on the fence at
usual he slipped down and said,
Come along, fellows" and with
out any dissent the others followed.
The first principle of leadership,
as that boy discovered, is to over
come your own natural interitia,
and not wait for someone else to
drive you out of it,
The man who successfully and
consistently overcomes his own in
ertia is usually able to rouse other
people out of theirs.
A leader may be bad, or I'M
scrupulous, or dishonest, but he
cannot be lazy and remain a leader.
However, mere readiness to lead,
although it may create a following,
will not hold it. Audacity, aseer-
tiVeness, and the ability to over
come inertia must he supplemental
with clear purpose and an ability
to bring it before people cogcntly
and persuasively.
Sheer personal magnetism can
sometimes inspire a blind faith and
compel obedience, but leadership
that depends only on personal mag
netism will land its followers in a
quicksand or on a bog.

Guy de Maupassant, who seldom
gives himself up to singing the
praises of beautiful women, appa-
rently admired this type of lip. In
his verses called in the translation,

this preference when he describes

The pearly line of teeth that lay
within
That waving barrier of trembling

Grooyed Upper Lip.

fair to say that the woman who
are lacking in this groove are lack
ing in purity and similar attributes,
but there is no denying the fact
that the face so marked has an ex-
preston of sensitiveness and mod
esty that is unmistakable.
Now this mark occurs oftener in
woman's face than in mans, and
is more pronounced in youth than
in age. In fact it is quite unusual
for any one to retain this mark
throughout maturer years. But be-
cause it is more usual with women
than with men does not mean that
it is in the least an effeminate
mark. 1t was one of the most
striking characteristics of Lincoln's
face and added decidedly to the
strength of that great face. 1t
shows up with amazing clearness
in the life mask taken of Lincoln.
Calhoun was another of our great
American men who had~this trait
to marked degree.
Studying the faces of great men
you cannot but be struck with the
fact that the grooved upper lip &C.

poets than, generally speaking.
among politicians, statesmen or
great commanders. Keats, Moore,

1t is difficult, well-nigh impossi-

upper lip. 1t was characteristic OF
Grecian statues, both of men and

was straight and symmetrical. In

Columbus, N. NJ, March s.
From her bed in a local hotel here
today Mrs. Wade Doster, shot and
killed her husband, Captain Doster
medical corps, United States army
as he stood washing his hands with
his back toward her, and then shot
herself, according to reports made
to local and civil authorities.
Doster was killed instantly, his
body falling across the bed. Mrs,
Doster then, it was said, fired a pis-
tol shot into her own breast, but is
expected to recover from the
wound. Guests broke down the
door TO the Doster room and found
the dead husband and wounded
wife.
A letter addressed to Captain
Doster from another woman, then
in Los Angeles, which Mrs. Doster
accidentally discovered and opened
and couched in affectionate LAM
guage, is said to have been at the
bottom of the shooting.
The woman is now in El Paso
after having visited here.
Mrs. Doster following receipt of
this letter, left her husband and
went to California, according to
local investigating officers. Last
night she returned to Columbus
and throughout the night it was
said she and her husband quar-
relied in their room about the FL
Paso and Los Angeles woman.
Mrs. Doster planned to kill her
self and husband, investigators
said, and told of this in a note
written before the shooting, the full
contents of which were not made
public. The note was found in her
bed. In it she asked that Doster's
parents in Berkeley, Calf, be no.

The shooting took place at $50
this morning. Doster it was said,
was washing his hands with his
back toward his wife when she
took a SO caliber pistol from UNI

Mrs. Doster and she fired again,
the bullet entering his breast and
instantly killing him.
The Eel Paso woman is reported
to have visited here for two days
a fortnight ago, but was made to
leave town.
Mrs. Doster is confined to the
military hospital at Camp Furlong,
to which her husband was at
tached. Doster's body will be taken
to Ell Paso. A coroner's inquest was
to be held late today to inquire into
the shooting.
Captain Doster came here July
