V t- i-ri'v f, - w wjf WVO rm;sm' THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON. ,"fA '""f 'f " TOPICS OF THE TIMES. Crnnks nro persons who do not sec tliltiKH ns you do. "Wisdom Is often nearer when loop thnn when we sonr. wc Llpton's London tea stores made $000,000 cltrnn prollta Inst year. Ad vertising. A Frenchman has committed suicide because he was so homely that no wom an would marry him. Some people nev er do know when they arc well off. About the worst ense of contempt of court Is that of a paper which refers to the Supremo Court Justices as "em inent guys In Mother Hubbard gowns." Emperor William Is disappointed be cause his third son, whom lie wanted to be at tho head of the nnvy, cannot overcome seuslckncss. That seasick ness does not obey his commands and spare his children Is a matter of mor tlllcatlon to this ruler, who Is under tho impression that his wish and word should be resxcted by Neptune and the rest. In the long continued discussion of the negro problem no solution has been offered Unit Is more fallacious thnn that the negro will gradually dlo out. The census reports show that during the Inst ten years the negro Herniation has Increased by 21 per cent Another theory on tho raco question advanced by Hooker Washington to the effect that the tendency of tho negro Is to re main or migrate to the farm, has been exploded by tho late census. It shows that tho negro has n growing fondness for the town. J "Wo now know that nil the theses )t which tho llrst class In Harvurd Col lege defended In 11H2 lire false," says Kdwnrd Hverett Hnlej "their astron omy was nil wrong, their logic was all wrong, their metaphysics were all wrong, and their theology was all wrong." While wo are priding our selves upon tho Intellectual successes with which this century opens, It will bo wholesome to rellect that the men of light and leading In 10-11! were an suro that they had the right of things us wo nro to-day of our own science. Tho "play" of the Intellect, to use n vacation pun, constitutes the delight of learning, and Is often Its truest Inspira tion. A young girl nt a hotel table, home years ago, undertook to quiet n rcBtlcss child by making for him little llgurcH which she modeled from bread crumbs rubbed hot ween her lingers. Tho rapidly growing procession of Koah's-ark animals attracted the at tention of n gentleman opposite. It was tJie sculptor Thomas Hall, who af terward told the girl she had unusual talent, took her to his own studio, nnd taught her to model In clay and after ward to work In marble. An Interest ing side-light on the pretty Incident Is that the young girl had molded her tig tires undisturbed by n tableful of wit nesses, and, on the other hand, Mr. Hall fceuted her In the studio with her buck toward his own chair, becauso he "could not possibly work while nny body looked on," A certain married woman who "glo ries In her sex" confesses that there are tlini'H when she envies her husband. "With n business suit nnd a dress suit, fihe says, ho Is "prepared for any occa sion," nnd to cIiooho such conventional clothing costs him hardly a moment's thought; whereas with every changing mwikoii she must completely rearrange lier wardrobe, not the gowns alone, but tho "gewgaws to match." The older Dim grows, tho woman says, thu more heavily does this burden weigh upon her spirit. Although she Is not n so ciety woman, she meets many people; It seems a duty to array herself In thu manner that the general Judgment of Iter sex approves, and to do this de mands time, money and anxious medi tation. Shu admits that she likes to feel well-dressed. Yet what u relief It would be, she adds, If, like tho ulsters belonging to religious orders, women would put on uniforms and initke no change except, say, from thick gar ments to thinner! At llrst thought this M-eius it reasonable proposition. It would be so If applied to the other sex; for man already pays mi aesthetic pen alty for his efforts to save himself trouble In choosing his clothing. Mem bers of secret societies ovndo the pen alty for an hour or two when they dec orate themselves with sashes and twords and feathers; but every other ussemblage of men Is necessarily n number and cheerless spectacle. The members of any such KUtherlng are clad h uniformly that one might logically demand they put on uniforms. Hap pily woman's Instinct prompts her to bo more original. Probably the only rea Idii why one particular woman suggests n uniform Is that some pcruurlous man bas charged that she and her sisters sin fully waste their time ami money on dross. Hut that ts not true of many American women. For one family bro ke.! up by the wife's extravagance, a hundred are ruined by tho husband's folly. Moreover, the woman who takes palus to show herelf at her best does u good deed, since site adds Just so much more to the charm of life. Hob Kltzsliumous said a good thlug the other day. llo was showing u young fellow how to tight to win, nnd he said! "Twke your chaueo when you ioo It; hit from whero your hand Is." "Why do I win tights? Hecauso 1 see the chance whcn It comes, and I take It." There Is a sermon in tbeso few lines of type, a text for millions of am bitious young men nnd women. It fits every wnlk In life. In this country there are thousands of young fellows who nro drifting. They nre ambitious In a mild way. They wnnt better Jobs and more money, nnd nre always hoping that sof-iethlng a hazy, lndeil nlto something will turn up to better their condition. The right kind of a man will hunt for his chance. All the tlmo be will bo watching for it. If he Is working In an ofllce ho will be at lilt desk, perhaps ahead of time, but nevei late. The man who Is around when In Is wnnted Is generally n useful 'man. A good mnny men havo missed their chunce because they were habitually ten minutes late getting to work. And good work pays. It Is a part of tho chance. It may bo over n set of books or collecting fares on a street car, or running a locomotive or laying sewer plpo. Tliero Is ulways n chance for ad vancement, nnd It Is for tho man who works to And it and deserve It. He must do tho hunting. "Hit from where your hand Is." Can't you apply that to your position In life, Mr. Toller? What do you make of it? Doesn't It mean that you should always be ready to grasp an opportunity nnd make It your own, even If tho perspiration oozes out of every pore and you would much rather sit In a cool spot and dream about what you would do If you had ns much money as Ilussoll Sago? Tho man who "hits from where his hand Is" Is a worker, not n grumbler. He mixes brains and muscle nnd turns out n superb product. He doesn't put things off or seek for delays, or sug gest to the boss that some other em ploye do a part of the work assigned to him. Ills motto Is Iteady. Tho acquittal of Robert S. Fosburgh. charged with killing his sister, will bo approved by nil who followed the trial at rittsllold, Mass. Fosburgh, a young man of prominent family, seems to have been tho victim of an overzealous police olllclal, whose anxiety to make a "case" placed an Innocent person in peril of his liberty and brought Into Jho public gazo those nearest nnd dear esi to him nt n time when the loss of a member of the family hud plunged nil Into deepest grief. Fosburgh's sister, Miss May Fosburgh, who held the af fection of family and friends, was shot and killed In her bedchamber one night last August, presumably by burglars who had entered thu Fosburgh house. The Incentive to tho burglary was tho knowledge that Inrgo sums of money woro occasionally kept In tho house to meet the weekly pay roll nt Mr. Fos burgh's factory. The natural couclu bIoii was that tho burglars, Intercepted by Miss Fosburgh, shot her with n pistol they had tnken from another room, nnd which belonged to heV broth er. In tho confusion resulting from tho crime, the bewildered members of tho family told stories that thu chief of po lice declared were conflicting, nnd ho evolved the theory Unit Miss Fosburgh had been killed during a quarrel be tween her father and brother. On this theory tho younger Fosburgh was Indicted nnd tried. There wns uo tes timony, snys the Chlcngo Inter Ocean, to show that thero was estrangement between any members of tho family, and thero wns plenty of evldonco that the house had been entered by a burg lar. Ho lllmsy wns tho on bo of tho prosecution that thu presiding Judge nt tho trial characterized tho proceedings as an "Inquest," and Instructed tho Jury to bring In a verdict of acquittal oven before the defense had proceeded far with Its witnesses. It would seem that he might have gouu Curther and cen sured both tho chief of police and tho grand Jury for acting upon ovldenco so slight. It Is strange, Indeed, from the disclosures, that the case was uvcr brought to trial, and stranger thut the police olllclal did not attempt to traco the thieves ami murderers rather than to create a mystery nbout tho nffnlr that reflected on obviously Innocent people. Tho Doctor's Joke. He was a horrid doctor, anyway, nnd no gentleman, or ho would not havo been so cruel to thu fair young girl who sought his aid. Hut even doctors are human nnd like to Joke. "Doctor," she said. "I am nfrnld this climate Is too severe for mo. I havo such grout trouble breathing with my lungs." "Vou would have a great deal more troublo breathing without them," re plied the cruel man, with n loud, hoarse laugh. Tho maiden shrunk' from such a wicked man, nnd lied as though pur sued by a mouse. Hoston Herald. Travel Over I.onilou llrliltro. Twenty jours ago It was estimated that "00,000 peri-ons crossed London bridge dally, UIO.OOO on foot and the rest In vehicles. With tho growth of population these numbers have almost doubled, In spite of tho relief afforded by the building of tho tower bridge, half a mile downstream. It has, there fore, become nn urgent matter to In crease the capacity of tho older bridge, and It has now in'on decided to accom plish this by means of granlto corbels which will carry the footway as pro jections over tho water on each side of the bridge. Howuro of Pnitger! Sold tho melancholy man; "Do you ever look back on your life and reflect on tho opportunities you have missed?" "No, sir," answered tho hustler. "It would bo Just my luck to miss some more while 1 was brooding over what can't bo helped."
