A TOPICS OF i THE TIMES. ) Ilnppy nro tlioy who don't want tho things tlicy can't get No, Cordelia, wo can't all lo hero worshipers; Homo of us must, bo heroes. Mnny a woman who makes n man a mlglity ioor wife makes him a rich husband. Do a man a favor and ho will con sider you under everlasting obligation to him. Many a man who couldn't train a dog decently Imagines that ho Is an ideal child trainer. How would It do for Explorer Bald win to Hud something besides his voice? It Is becoming a trlllo tiro itomo. Kmpcror William says ho Is afraid ho will never be able to seo America. "What, then, Is tho use of being an em peror? Minister Wu nays Chlneso laborers arc better oft than our workmen. Then why does ho object to our exclusion laws.? Though tho pen may bo mightier thau tho sword, It can't como up to tho scratch when pitted agalust tho Ink raser. A hundred years ago men married younger than they do now but women tlltlu't object to doing their own house work then. t Tho charge that David B. Hill nover kissed a girl In his life should not bo ticccptcd as true merely becaiiBo David tlocHii't deny It. Perhaps ho always Xiromlsed not to tell. Truly tho prominent woman's litis baud Is to bo pitied, but fortunately for most married men who play second lid llo tho orchestras to which they belong glvo but few public performances. Tho dull boy In neliool seldom ap pears to a disadvantage during recess. The census bureau Ib right about peo plo living longer than they formerly did. Wo know (julto a number of per sons who never lived so loug before In their lives. Preparations aro nlready under way for tho great Olympian games to bo held In tho United States In 11)01. For eign countries aro extending assur ances that they will bo fully repre sented, and the governors of tho vari ous States nro cordial lu their expres sions of Interest. Have nets of weakness and sin never nuy salutary effect on n man's charac ter? Can any mau say, viewing his life honestly, that 110 good has como out of tho evil that ho has charged him self with and repented of? Is not sin sometimes character-building? Does It uot perhaps develop a man Into a stronger force spiritually and maku him a more practical, helpful Christian gentleman? Aro not sins lu somo lives ns the holes lu a pleco of linen which trniisform the plain, unluterestlug cloth Into beautiful embroidery? ' Wo seem to bo lu tho way of making ourselves ridiculous. Germany just uuw Is overrun by Mormon missiona ries and wo aro assuming tho role of their protectors. Not long ago thu Her man authorities served notice of ex pulsion ou twenty-two of these Utah evangelists, whoso activities In tho em pire had aroused tho resentment of tho clergy, hut at tho earliest retpiest of our diplomatic representatives thomi notices were temporarily withdrawn, Mormon emissaries lu Illinois, Missou ri, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee any where you please, lu fact-uro tarred mid feathered, ridden on rails, driven out, sometimes shot, even hanged, and a paternal government looks ou In si lent 'If uot cordial approval. Until now there has beeu no revela tion of tho secret arrangements made between Great Britain and Ucriuauy relative tu African affairs prior to the Boer war. It now appears that I'ortu Kul Is to hand over the Delagoa Bay district and that the northern part of the Portuguese posbcsslous will go to tiermauy. This Is said to be the "'compensation" to Germany for keep ing (iilet during the late war. It will make the German people, who have been so fiercely antagonistic to the llrltlsh nation during the past three years, feel rather sheepish when they discover that they have actually been partners with Great Brltatu lu tho ex tension of British coutrol In South Af rica. Serious thought Is suggvted by the fact that suicide has beeu unusually prevalent of late, Kach morning's newspaper contains a list of people who have made away with themselves. What chu be the cause at work? Horns of the suicides, It Is true, kill them selves because they can 11 ml no work un anomalous situation lu an em of prosperity but most of them seem ta be actuated by feelings of auger or re seutmeut or spite. Some of them kill other people and then kill themselves. There Is it a Implication lu this situa tion that the American people are de teriorating lu a moral fiber that the? are becoming morbid and unstable ot character. But, granting this, we nr still at sen as to the primary cause o4 the trouble. What la making ths American people morbid and reckless ly Impulsive? Are we coming to that world-weary condition which onco per vaded tho society of Franco when whole dinner parties would rlso from tho tn'blo to go and drown themselves In company? After working steadily for twenty flvo years for a certain company, a foro innn took his first vacation. It Is doubt ful If ho enjoyed It Men are a good deal like animals. Turn nti old street car borne Into n rich pasture and he will roll a fow times, kick up his heels and then search for his harness, bell and tho long stretch. Harness nuy man to a Job for tweuty-llvo years, and It becomes his life, his ambition' and his pleasure. Ho makes his body take a vacation and his mind remains nt tho olllce, or bench, or wherever destiny bus placed him. It Is a feeling that can bo worn out, becnuso man has moro brains tlinn a street car horse, but It takes time, somcilmcs years; some times all tho years that aro left. When thu foreman ended his vacation and started for tho shop ho discovered that his Job had vanished. Ho also learned that corporations arc not soulless, for he was told that ho had worked bo well and faithfully, had done his full duty so patiently, that tho concern had re tired him ou full pay for tho rest of his life, bo It a year or forty years. Not n beggarly pension, mind you; not pensioned poverty, which Is Just as hard for an old man to bear as a young one, but full pay, and tho llrra wroto to him: "Go where you please, and If you ever get stranded nway from home, Just telegraph tho company." It was a flue thing to do. It was a bit of un asked appreciation that must hava Its effect on the other tollers In the con cern. It Is going to bo Interesting to sco what happens to the foreman. If he, In tho possession of health and strength, can drop thu load ho has been carrying steadily for a quarter of -n century without n shock to his wholo system, ho Is n big man a real philos opher. If he loves flowers and children and books, his garden, tho quiet placo of his home, he may bo happy, but tho chances aro that some day ho will bo found nt tho door of the shop saying, "Put mo to work." It Is in tho blood. Americans aro built that way, and tho fact that ambition doesn't ceaso when tho limbs grow weary and tho thatch gray, In no maimer lessens tho kindly trlbuto that tho company paid to tho old foreman. WORLD'S "MOST BEAUTIfUL WOMAN." This Is tho young woman whom Hur ry l.ehr, tho authority of the "400" on feminine beauty, declares Is tho most beautiful society woman In tho world. Miss Schenck Is the granddaughter of the Itev. Dr. Noah fichunck, a noted Kplsoopnl clergyman of Brooklyn. Four years ago, when she was 17, sho start ed a letter chain of 10-cent contribu tions to furnish Ice for wounded sol diers, which brought her 'JTiO.lHH) let ters and f-5,000. Her homo Is at Baby lon, 1.. I. Tho Modern Child. Tho modern child Is the most dis couraging thing I know about. Just the other day I undertook to entertain a small neighbor of inluo while her mother passed the afternoon lu bod with a sick headache. Naturally, I as sumed that the little girl would enjoy looking at a prettily Illustrated book of fairy tales which had Just come Into my possession. She took the book po litely, and sat down to look at the pic tures. When I looked up she was star ing at mo with a question lu her eyes. Seeing me disengaged, she put It Into words: "Here's a very pretty picture." said she, pointing out, or rather Indicating, for she's too well trained to point, to a wash drawing of Tltauhi uud her at tendant fays, "They're very pretty, but will you please tell me whether they're angels or Just lusectst" Washington Post.
