Mr. OcIih now owns four dally news papers. A four OcIih team ought to have a pretty strong pull. A politician was almost eaten by n hog. Think how hungry the hog must have been to do a thing like that. A misfit memory and a receding con fidence are not the worst combination In the making of a machine politician. If the courts nre going to enjoin the speculators from shearing the lambs a lot of the shops may huvo to Khut down. The fellow who stole a red hot stove was an amateur compared with those two Missouri Juuk dealers who commit ted the theft of an Iron bridge. ' The Kansas farmer Is not a profes sional trust buster, but he happens to bo possessed with the ways and mennn of taking the edge off the corn comers. Four persons were shot In Louisville, Ky over a dime. At that rate, mas nacres would come to ?l.dO nnd a neat little holocaust could be turned nut for f.1.7fi. Thcwe, of course, are Kentucky prices. Mrs. Carrlu Chapman Catt's estimate that nine-tenths of the criminals In'Uio United States are' men will not be se riously objected to unless slo supple ments It with tlio statement that nlno tcnths of the men are criminals, In the old proverb "all work nnd no 1 play" was bad for .lack. Two force ful men, one In America and one lu Africa, have put the case differently. The man lu Africa said he decided "to top working and begin to think." Ho thought to such purpose that when ho died tho world was divided between calling' him n great statesman or an unscrupulous buccaneer. Tho Ameri can lin said In a recent book, "It Is a (rent mistake to think Unit tho man who works all the tltuo wins lu tho race." It septus to bo agreed that work and play and thought constitute tho trinity which leads .to success. King Albert of Saxony, who died re cently, held much tho same relation to tho (lerman Kmplre that the (lovemor of each State holds to the United States. The Ocrinuu Kmplre Is a federation of four kingdoms, six grand duchies, live duchies, seven principalities, three "free towns" and the Iteh'lisliind, or nn tlonal territory, of Alsneo-U)rralne. Kncli state enjoys a certain Independ ence In local matters, as tho American States do; and each Is represented lu the two chambers of the Imperial par liament as tho American States are rep- resented In Congress. No election Is re quired to select a successor to tho late "(jovemor" Albert, Ills brother suc ceeds as King; the dead ruler was child less. A county superintendent of schools lu Illinois lately organized and conducted an excursion for farmers uud their fam ilies to the Agricultural College of the Btnte. A party of nearly three hundred persons was gathered, nearly one-half of them boys. The visitors were en abled to see for themselves the tine specimens of stock, and how they are kept, tho experiments lu fertilisation, cultivation, and tho hundred and one other things which make the agricul tural colleges sn valuable to tho coun try; and lu the department of domes tic economy the farmers' wives had op portunity to see the best methods of tho work which most Interests them. The plan Is feasible In any county of any State, and deserves to bo copied. Tho late Dean MotTiuan, of the tfeu tral Theological Seminary of the Prot estant Kplscopal Church, had a largo fortune and was a proportionately great giver. The aggregate of his benefac tions no one knew but himself, and he would not betray tho secret. The es timated total, according to a press dis patch, Is more than a million dollars. Publicity Is a wholesome stimulus to giving. Xt liberal example bears fruit lu more generosity, Hut there are cum'x of such a naturo that the chief aim would almost bo defeated were the mimes of tho recipients known or the objects openly designated, The dean aeeius to have appreciated the fact that In some circumstances It Is best that only three should be cognizant of a ben efaction, namely, tho hestowcr, the per son helped and the Lord, who loveth it cheerful giver. Study the llfo of any successful man and you will see that bravery Is one of bU strongest points. The most of us are arrant cowards. We ure afraid to live and afraid to die. We are afraid of tho light and afraid of the dark. Wo are cautious. We are "conserva tive," White wo linger shivering on the brink , and fear to launch away some bravo soul steps Into his boat, takes up tho ours and pulls to his Dm tlny. Many men stick to a salary be cause they haven't nerve enough to go lnto business for themselves. They have all the ipialltlcs for success save courage. Caesar hesitated to cross tho Itublcon.

Kven the express wagon horses wear Pana mas, and a man returned from a vaca tion lu New England solemnly tells of seeing n farmer's scare crow thus ar rayed. Truly the Panama 'trainpleth upon pride, and sits on the neck of am bition.' All of this would not much matter had not the wives of tho Pauu maed men taken, notice of the whole thing and, as wives sometimes will, spoken of It. What can a husbnnd say for himself? So far there Is no record of a husband having said anything. It seems to be one of the times when there Is nothing to say. With ?.Ti In vested In a Pannmn, with the grocery boy wearing a close Imitation which cost OS cent, and now with a bill for his wife's hat starlug him In the face, tho plight of the unhappy husbnnd Is something to stir pity In every virtuous bosom, Truly lu these dnys the mar ried stato Is not n condition to be en tered upon thoughtlessly." Tho recently issued census report on agriculture shows n state of chango In the average size of farms that will sur prise the average citizen. He hns been reading of the breaking up of bonanza farms and the tearing down of fences on the great cattle ranges of the West, and, having In mind the great Increase In population, has nssumed that the average size of farms. hns boon getting smaller. On the contrary, It Is Increas ing. From 18.10 to 1SS0 the size of fariu.i gradually decreased, with u marked change lu the decade between 18(10 and 1N70. In lSTit) tho averngo farm con tained a trllle over 'J(M) acres; lu 18(10 n trlllo less; In 1870 n little over 150, and In ISM) considerably less than l.'iO. ' lu 181MI It was a little larger, and In 1000 It reached almost to ldo acres again. Hut at the same time tho number of farms was vastly Increasing, having reached a total of r.7atVW7 In 1000. There are actually more farms lu the United States today In proportion to population than there were In 1WH), when wo were distinctively a rural na tion. Notwithstanding tho unprecedent ed growth In urban population between 18.-.0 and 1000, the number of farms grew faster. In 18SO thero was one farm for every 10.0 persons. Now thero Is one for every l.l.'l. And this In crease is an Increase lu real farms not mere gurden patches. The Ameri can countryside Is holding Its own and more, too, In the rapid general advance of the country. This state of affairs Is distinctly good for tho nation. While In tho cities tho tendency Is townrd the loss of Individualism nnd for the masses to become employes and depend ents of greut corporations and tlrms, tho tendency lu tho country Is for the heads of families to be more and more. Inde pendent of others and more and more dependent upon themselves. It Is tho realization of the Independence of tho farmer, of the landowner, thnt Is caus ing farmers to buy more laud mid Is arousing In city people an Intense long, lug for a piece of mother earth tlmt can bo called their own.

Thero he can establish himself, ami, If j his wants are simple and his habits good, may live without worry for the morrow while the trusts and monopo lies and the growing concentrations of capital eiHiiesh his fellow man lu the city. The present great hind movement lu tho West Is duo In no small degree to an almost universal longing for laud, based on the Idea of Independence that goes with laud holding, and a feeling that the opportunity to get coup lauds will soon be gone forever.

GAVE A BOON TO MARINER8. Flavlo Oloju la I'.ntltlect to Credit for Perfecting the CompnHN, Historians have long been nt odds ns to the man entitled to the credit of hav ing Invented the mariner's compass, but all are now agreed that to Flavlo Gloja Is due the honor of perfecting It. If not actually the Invontor of the mariner's compass, Flavlo Gloja was at least Its "perfect loner." The Chinese compass, such as It was up to the sixteenth cen tury, was very different from the pres ent one, and was moved by water. Mar co Polo mentions this. Hut whether Flavlo Gloja took his Idea from this or Invented quite n now one, It Is his compass that Is used, nnd not the Chinese one. lu any case, Amnltl has every reason to be proud of her great citizen. He was originally called GUI It seems then (Urn, and, finally, Gloja. As Gloja ho was known as a bold pilot and sea captain. The yenr of his birth Is still uncertain. It Is put by some at 1:102, while others put It between KtOO and lU'JO. It must bo remembered that at this period AmalH was as great on tho sous us Pisa, Genoa, and even Venice. In all references to tho subject It Is always Amnlil that Is emoted as tho birthplace of the compass, whatever may be tho real name of Its Inventor. Tho town of Amulll has also a compass lu Its arms, which was added after It had been Invented by nn Amnltltuu. Tho sculptor Hnlzlco has made n very flue statue of Gloja lu celebration of hU sixth centenary. Ho Is represented lu the mariner's dress of the period, with a dagger and pouch hanging from his belt, nud lu one baud he holds n com pass, which be Is studying with great earnestness, A ship's cable Is nt hU feet.

Kccleslastes III., 10th verse." A refer ence to chapter and verse shows tho following: "For thnt which befulleth the sous of men befalleth beasts, even one thing befalleth them; us the one dleth. so dleth the other." This Is probably the only Instance of a text from the Scriptures appearing on a me-uorlal stone to an animal. Dark Outlook. "It Is all up now!" sighed the poetic suitor. "How so?" asked the friend.
