THE LESSON OF HEINZE
y
Says the Reveille, o ( Reco, iu an ed
itorial ueaded 'Cultivate Your Special
ty":
The disaster sustained by F. Augus
tus Heinze in New York's financal
mart is just what might have been ex
pected. It is simply another case of
the shoemaker failing to stick to his
last.
Heinze was a miner, a great miner
whose knowledge of his profession at
times amounted to something akin to a
genius. But he sighed for other worlds
to conquer. The youn ? Napoleon of
Montana's red metal mines invadeo
Wall street and found his Moscow, lie
m.y redeem himself by going back to
his Datural sphere, the mines, but if he
does not? if he stays with the financial
game his Waterloo lies straight ahead.
He is not the first example of a min
ing man venturing into a game with
which he was not familiar and getting
badly bitten. John W. Mackay, the
Comstock millionaire, became ambi
tious some time during the '80s of mak
ing himself a power in the wheat mar
ket, aod attempted to corner the grain
supply of the world, but was himself so
badly squeezed in return that it re
quired the prompt and energetic assist
ance of his old-time mining partner,
James G Fair, to extricate him from a
situation in which he was not only
threatened with the loss of his im
mense fortune, but with total bank
ruptcy as well.
The old adage about the jack of all
trades appeais still to hold good. And
not merely Is It dangerous to trv being
a jack of all trades, but, judging by tbe
experience of Heinze acd of Mackay.
one trade would appear to be a good
limit for the miner.
WHAT J PAPER FEARS
No w that tbe first issue after the
explosion dynamite placed under its old
building has taken place it appear?
that tbe dynamiters who blew up
more than the News-Herald at Joplin,
>/o., blew up the town as well? that is
to sa< they turned it upside down acd
stirred it up to an appreciation of the
newspaper which], knew its duty and
dared to do it.
The town is unanimous in its con
demnation of the outrage, at least all
wnd attended the mass meeting which
offtred a reward of $1,200 for the arrest
and conviction of tbe guilty persons
The reward now aggregates $2,450, and
the paper is being published again,
with more friends th^n it had before.
They must be shor'sighted persons
who suppose they can destroy a news
paper with dynamite. The only enemy
a paper really has to fear is that
within which forfeits public confidence
and respect.
There died in a Washtojfton Catholic
convent oot Ion? ago a turn who had
takea the holv vows after she had
refused the hand of R'chard Mansfield,
the acto.\ They had been sweethearts
for years, and it is said that for a while
they were engaged. Persons who
knew her in Washington declare that
sho was one of the mo*t beautiful nuns
and one of the most devout Christians
they ever had known. After she enter
ed the convent Mr. Ma- sfield never
came to \V?.shineton wi'hout sending to
her with the permission of the convent
authorities, great quintities of fljwers.
These she distributed among the
hospitals for the p or.? Record Miner

THE LOST CHORD
Seated one day at the organ,
I was weary and ill at ease,
And my finger* wandered idly
Over the noisy keys.
I know not what I was playing
Or what I was dreaming then,
But I struok one chord of music
Like, the sound of a g<an t amen.
It flooded the crimson twilight,
Like the close of angel's psalm,
And. it lav on my fevered spirit
Like a touch of infinite calm.
It quieted pain and sorrow
Like love o'ercomiog strife;
It seemed a harmouious echo
From our discordant life.
It linked all perplexing meanings
Into one perfect peace,
And It trembled away into silence
As if it were loath to cea>e.
I sought, but I seek it vainly,
That one lost chord divine
Which cauie from the soul of the organ
And entered into mine.
It may be that death's bright angel
Will speak in that chord again;
It may bo that only in heaven
I shall hear that grand amen.
? Adelaide Ant e Procter.

The
General Demand
of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
T'ixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine ? manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.
