Ho doesn't go so fur, however, as to In lflt that a cash register should be scd In order to prevent mistakes. "Ono of the best parishioners" of a certain well-known clergyman used to ay that thero were four occasions when he ninde It a point to be In his placo at church. "These were, when H wan n stormy Sunday, when the Jiurch was without a pastor and some body had to read a sermon, wjicn a trangcr preached, and when his own ilnlHtcr preached." Tlio conclusion Ih Irresistible. If a special collection nfortuuately falls upon a stormy Sun day, any minister may conlldently tell tills anecdote on the following .Sunday und tuke the collection over again. Typhus fever broke out some months ago on the Island of Arraninoro off the oonst of Ireland, nud a panic seized both the Islanders and tliu residents f the adjacent mainland. One heroic doctor, William Hmyth, rowed himself every day to the Island, and single banded fought the disease lu the midst f poverty and tilth. When conditions ki the cabins becamo Intolerable, lie arrled the patients to his boat and rowed them over to tlio mainland and his own house. Ho saved the little Inland community, but, worn out by bin exertions, contracted the disease himself, and died. The people of the vicinity who refused to aid him In the ttnio of dire need arc now contemplat ing it memorial to his heroism. When Victor Kinaiiuol succeeded his father on the throne of Italy It was freely predicted that his reign would bo a short one, but the young man has managed so wisely that lie Is strong lu tlio affections of his people, and were Iiu to nhdlcnto nnd stand for lection ns the president of republican Italy, ho would probably win over nil titers. Of course the young king Is Uabln to be nssasslnatcd at any time by auarchlsts of whom the country Is full. Centuries of despotism have made these anurchlsts possible. In the re action against tyranny anarchism has been born. Victor Kmnuucl Is likely to go soino day as did his father, King Humbert However that may be, the king Is following lu the footsteps of his father In modifying some of the moNt bjectlonablo features of absolutelsm. Republican sentiment is strong lu Italy and It Is with tlio republlcai lu a governmental way that the l;lii(7 lias to deal. They have a largo vote la the parliament ami come near to control ling. If Victor ICmauuol hail shown the Impulsiveness naturally attaching to most young rulers ho would have been deposed before this. Hut ho has been wIho enough to make concessions as they have been demanded by public onttment. Ho has Instituted reforms and reduced taxation. He has heard all grievances anil disposed of all mat ters purely ou their merit.

" needing a hair cut, ami most of them willing to adopt any kind of a freak make-up In order to coax dollars out of American pock ets. It Is cheap advertising. Do you uppotio that a liovy of excited New York women would have assailed l'aderewskl with kisses and tears had ho looked llko a fat-faced, prosperous broker or merchant? It Is doubtful. There Is romance In the plnno-plnylng 1'olo's hair; romance nud soul und nil sorts of occult possibilities. It makes a lit netting for a pair of dreamy eyes, and It appeals to the nudleuce before the Krcat artist has dealt the piano the opculuK thump. lVrhaps when America gets deeper Into art and mu sic It will bo possible for European celebrities to shed their locks and yet maintain their hold on tho hearts of tlio public, The time Is not rlpo yet. because of tho popular lovo for the pcctucular. Aa nn exeinpla of tlio ileatlny of those who embrace "ntt-rlcl-iulck" eliemea ami meorn the ohl-fushloued Biethoda of ludustrj itud thrift ono j Frank C. Andrews of Detroit cannot be sold to have spent his life In vain. ' Mr. Andrews Is a young man who nrrlvcd lu Detroit a few years ago with n capital of $1.25. By dint of nerve und quickness In taking advan tage of opportunities he secured a foot hold In the speculative world and from that time on ninde money rapidly, be coming n millionaire. Always a blat ant advocate of the lucky throw as op posed to caution, sound methods and economy, says the Chicago News, he has done whnt ho could to Imperil the i. . .. ii L'cncrnl nroMnerltr nf tlio ntililln. liar- Jug been lucky, Andrews, like other "young Nnpoloon of finance," seems to have concluded that ho was Invinci ble. He Invented several maxims which probably he himself believed at the time. He openly npproved specu lation and declared that "human life Is too short for the slow processes of thrift." It was his theory that "no man should work after ho Is '10," and ho believed that all his good fortune came ns "the result of taking chances." He found success consisted "In an In domitable faith In your own proposi tion." Probably his philosophical view ofgambllugseemedcorrcct at the time. Ills boastful sayings doubtless lu no way overstated his faith In himself. That he should have dipped Into spec ulation unco too often and brought himself Into a predicament In which not oven his "Indomitable faith" could save him was Inevitable. He has suc ceeded lu wiping out his fortune lu a hurry. Not being an earner or a saver, I but having been trained throughout his life to the Idea of getting money without labor, It Is not surprising that ho should have embezzled funds In trusted to his keeping. From the bank of which he was vice president he took $1,500,000, leaving nbso EHZ;h,MiiistesfioiiDfc ?i! of his earnings weekly In now bet ter off than the erstwhile rich nnd boastful speculator. Youths who may bo tempted Into speculation would do well to nolo his example.

Iimh been said that us men grow old they II ttl it hard to secure employ ment, and sociological Investigations have shown that the old age of the ar tisan or tlio laborer Is often one of considerable hardship. Kor tho Inst tuw weeks lu particular attention has been called to the alleged discrimina tion of certain employers against men over -in. It was for this reason that Mr. .Schilling, lu addressing tho Chi cago Philosophical Society, Haiti that one of the three things that tho Na tional Civic Federation should do was to find an answer to the query: How Is the man over -in to make his living? it cannot be denied that this question presents hoiiio dllllctilUes. At tho mine time the hundreds of thousands of men over 45 who nro still capable of their best work show clearly thnt no jicrfoetly precise ago limit can bo set. The hero of Addison's satire la the Kcctator papers died of old ago at ill. The captain of tho Hvanston life saving crew Is doing tho capsize drill with great agility nt an ago which Is so advanced as to bo a subject of endless speculation nmong tho stu dents of tho university. Tho vital powers Inst longer lu soino men than lu others. Koine men dlo In their boob) ami somo after they have shifted to tho slippered pantaloon. Ono cannot say: Thus long slialt thou work and no longer. In tho enso of artisans, lu some trades, who havo censed to bo callable of ns full a day's work ns they ouco accomplished, there Is still tho dovlco of pleco work, which will, to some extent, relievo the situation. If a man Is paid according to what ho does the employer cannot complain, i It Is, of course, to bo expected that If, the employer Is paying his men by tho day ho should want men who can do ' a full day's work. If, however, ho Is paying them by the piece, any ten dency to discriminate against older men who may do less work than the young ones Is largely checked. As the worker passes tho period of his greatest elllcleney and declines lu strength nnd skill, he can still receive a return for his labor, nud though his earnings will doubtless decrease, they will decreaso only lu proportion to his falling powers.
