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"
