Wiisqn Mizner's:. career in the Far West -and the Frosen North was as va- ried and as sensational as was ever sto- ried in romance. Handsome, well-pro- portioned, gifted with ‘the keenest of wit and 3 wonderful voice, he always managed to bask in the favor of impor- tant personages wherever he went. ° He was born in Benicia, Cal, where his father, then United States Mjnister beautiful- country home. Wilson Mizner was the young- est of a. large family "of boys and con- sequently was the pet. He was well educated .atid his ready manner of | speech gave him entfee to the most ex- | clusive social circles when he reached manhood. When ttie Klondike éxcitement broke, Migner fgrsook this city for the Fro- gzen North. ' He was a miner, an, adven: turer, @ promoter and a capjtalist in the gold-laden regions of ice and snow. | oney came and went fast with -himi. He earped the reputation of being the { wittiest and ‘most popular man in all the mining camps as well as one of the best pistol shots and all-around t- efs to be found among the rough and ready. Mizner made and lost several for- tunes in the Kilondike district, and when the Nome craze started he imme- distely ghook the snow, of the Kilon- dike from his shoes and soon landed in the newest of mining camps. He saw a chance to shine as’'a hotel magnate and very shortly launched forth as the proprietor of the McQuestion Hotel, the first hostelry in the new camp. He made a ot of money out of this venture’ and soon turned his attention to min- ing and speculting. He bought up a quantity of land near the beach and managed to induce the men who were laying out the town to bring their main street along his property. When this deal was completed Mizner found himself a rich man. He invested variops mining claims .- was_caliéd to the witness stand during | spi {lowed wva: | singe.

MIZNER-YERKES MARRIAGE ‘EOMQS AS BIG SURPRISE LACONICISMS FROM WORLD’S BEST AUTHORS “Let every bookworm. when in any fra- grant, scarce old tome he discovers a centence, a story, an illustration that does his heart good, hasten to give It to others.” That remark is cufled from th preface of en elaborate and excell !compumlon of cholce sentences, bound 'in a big book called “A Dictionary of ! Thoughts,” which Is now being brought | to the attention oi people in this city. It is a cyclopedia of laconic quotations | from the best authors of the world, hoth ancient and modern. gathered by Tryon Edwards, D. D., who says that the com- | pilation was a labor which was its owa reward. One can well imagine its having been so, for to examine and arrange sen- tences beautiful and vaiuable as these is something like the delight of handling gems. The bits of beauty and wisdom | are made convenient for ready use by | belng arranged alphabetically by sub- jects. The motto used upon the title page is this: “A great thought is & great boonm, for which God is to be first thanked, when he who is the first to utter it, and then. i gree, lhe man who is the first to quote {1t to us.” | The author has been more than fifty | years in gathering these laconics, which | are qlosely printed in 80 pages. He added to his own pickings recullings from other He has Dbeen influenced by the ponderous wis- dom of Johnson who “counts him a bene- factor of mankind who condenses the great thoughts and rules of life sho¥t sentences that are easily impressed on the memory and recur promptiy to { the mind.” Speaking of this same ponderously wise Dr. Samue! Johnson, and of quotations, | self ponderously sald upon the subject. | The book in hand readily supplles it. We have but to call for it, and it comes. | Now if we will vividly imagine the great lma.ker of remarks, even as Boswell ple-| | tured him, talking to us so emphatically reverberate his sententious | sentence, we will be sure to' sit up and | | listen to this ome, and remember it, and | { never, dare to open our mouths in con- | H.ndicmm ‘ of its abselute, impressive | and most important truth: | i Quotation, sir, is a good thing: there | is a community of mind in it: classical quotation is the parole of ‘literary men | all over the -werld.” (F.
