TWO MEN OF DESTINY.
Plutarch in his "Parallel Lives"
Bketched his subjects in pairs, setting
a Greek against a Roman, Alexander
against Caesar, Demosthenes against
Cicero, to heighten the resemblances
and contrasts. Falling a Plutarch,
we have In Mr. Carnegie's sketch of
the Kaiser and Prof Schlemann's ar
ticle on President Roosevelt compa
nion portraits by competent hands.
Mr. Carnegie, quoting Richelieu's
remark to Louis XIII, regarding
Cromwell, that "a great man has
arisen In England," notes that a
great man has arisen in Germany,
the Emperor. "Here is a personality,
here is a power" the vital energy
of the empire incarnate. Through
him German ships have become the
fastest on the ocean, German steel
production has been made second
only to that of one other nation and
German industries stimulated as
never before. This ho has done In
fulfilling the "economic mission"
with which he is charged. There re
mains for him the higher role of
"freeing the Continent from the
paralyzing fear of war."
Prof. Schiemann finds in President
Roosevelt "a personality to which
even his errors do honor." Roose
velt he ranks with Washington,
Jackson and Lincoln, while estimat
ing that he has exerted 11 deeper In
fluence on the American people
"through his peculiarities of char
acter, imagination, will-power and
practical politics." His powers, the
professor thinks, will not be permit
ted "to He fallow." As holder of
the Nobel prize will he bo less of a
factor for peaco than the Kaiser,
whose strength rests on "the swords
of our trusty troops?"
Gazing now on this portrait and
now on that it is difficult to deter
mine which Is the more potent per
sonality. Nor is decision made easier
by following out the parallel. The
Kaiser, aB arbiter of all Interests in
the empire, has laid down laws for
musical criticism, composed a hymn,
passed on the merits of sculpture,
planned new boulevards, devised cos
tumes for historical pageants, filled
Lutheran pulpits and directed the
.composition of a national opera.
President Roosevelt has written
on history and sport, advocated spoil
ing reform, represented nnture-fak-lng
and advised bishops. While he
has condemned race suicide and ad
monished mothers as to their duties,
it is to tho Kaiser that German
housewives owe the Injunction to
restrict themselves to "tho Church,
tho children and tho kitchen." But
tho Kaiser has had no rebate or rail
way-rate problems to solve.
"Which of tho two shall bear tho
palm? Which deserves the credit as
tho man of most multifarious activity?
ft It is a good thing to have a X
i sound body and a better thing Vt
4 to have a sound mind; and bet- H
i tor still that aggregate of virile
yf and decent qualities which we
$ group together under the name
i-i of character.

GOOD NIGHT TO MOTHER.
Say good night to mother, with a
kiss for every kiss
That she gives you in the loving of
her clasp of mother bliss!
Say good night to mother while your
arms around her lace
And your little hand a tender with
its touch upon her face!
Say good night to mother, that in
mists of far-on years,
Through the shadows of a memory
that Is Infinite with tears,
Her thoughts may wander sweetly
and her gentle dreams recall
The little lad of childhood and his
good night kiss and all;
Say good night to mother In the ten
der childhood way
Before the little feet of weary child
hood rest from play!
Say good night to mother when she
kneels, forgetting care,
With the lips of love that murmur
on the lips of childhood prayer!

A short time ago a negro pair named
Jim and Bet called upon the squire
'o be united, "for better or for
worse" probably the latter. Having
had some notice of their coming, he
prepaied and actually used this unl
lue ceremony:
Jim, will you take Bet,
Without any regret,
To love and to cherish
Till one of you perish
And Is laid under the sod,
So help you God?
Jim, having given the affirmative
inswer, the 'squire turned to Bet:
Bet, will you take Jim
And cling to him,
Both out and in
Through thick and thin,
Holding him to your heart
Till death do part?
Bet modestly acquiesced, and the
newly married couple-were dlsmissel
with this "topper over all:"
Through life's alternate joy nnd
strife,
I now pronounce you man and wife.
Go up life's hill till you get to the
level,
nd salute your bride, your duaky
