of his career?' Thackeray tells us that "every man ought
to be In love a few times and have a sharp attack of the
fever." It Is often a blessing when one Is torn ruthlessly
from one's first love. The mad devotion of a college boy
for a woman In the thirties Is as unlike to the steady
flame of his manhood as the flare of a straw heap is to the
warmth of an anthracite fire, while the infatuation of a
girl of 17 Is rarely felt for the sort of man whom a woman
of 25 would choose for her husband.
The true philosophy of life Is contentment. "In what
soever state ye are, therewith to be content." This Is the
victory which overcometh the world. He who cries for
the moon, and turns his back upon the electric light blazing
overhead, is a fool; while the man who has only a rush
light has still cause to rejoice that he sits not in darkness.
When one cannot have what one wants, it is the part of
wisaom to accept what one can get and make the best of It
Oftentimes that best will be for better than at first seemed
possible. Most tastes in life are acquired, and the blackest
bread, eaten with a hearty appetite, has a sweeter relish
than the whitest loaf of princes If the "cake bread" be
watered with tears. Heartache is bitter, but memory
readily loses the old in the presence of the new. Fever is
followed by chill, and then one recovers. The latest love Is
always the one which Is loved.
There are quite a large number of people who think that no one but a.
professional can really know anything about photography, and there Is a
very general tendency to look upon every amateur photographer, no matter
how expert, as distinctly the Inferior of the professional, even of the
fourth and fifth rate professional, whereas, the facts of the case are, that
many amateurs may be found who in skill and attainments are fully the
equal, If not the superior, of the best professionals, while the fouth and
fifth rate gentlemen are easily outclassed by any number of amateurs scat
tered through the land. There are' professionals who have but the merest
smattering of knowledge of their craft. They stick to Just one branch of
their art,' work by rule of thumb, and when called upon to travel outside
of their chosen rut are Just as much at sea as any beginner among amateurs.
DEATH OF A NOTED SOLDIER.
JONSTANCY MAY BE CARRIED TO EXCESS.
By Helen Oldtleii.
Constancy In love is a virtue much lauded of
romancers. Yet It may be carried to excess when
the love Is ' not reciprocated constancy is
foolish, and when the beloved is bound to
another, Instead of a virtue It becomes a vice.
Even when neither pride nor duty forbids one
to worship at the old' shrine, when death
bas broken the tie, the laws of the
land sanction a second lore, and the
men incline thereto. We all know second
Janrriages which are Indubitably happy. It Is a merciful

SHALL SOCIETY SHARE IN TRUST BENEFITS.
By Freierlck H. Taylor, Professor of Political economy.
The utterances of President Roosevelt regard
ing the trusts emphasize the question whether or
not their permanence is fully assured. In recent
newspaper comment much stress has been placed
on the throwing of people out of employment,
'mis Is claimed one of their greatest advantages,
for throwing people but of employment by mak
ing their services unnecessary is merely Insuring
that the sum total of our wants shall be satisfied
at smaller cost. Another evil generally charged to the
trust Is the maintenance of outrageously high prices, But
we would probably be able In most cases to take refuge
In the use of substitutes. The gas monopoly, the electric
monopoly, find competitors In each other, as well as In
the new inventions like acetylene gas, or old friends like
kerosene. Again, if any one trust push its advantage too
far, It will Inevitably stimulate competition of allied trusts.
If it demands such a high price that there is profit to be
made at this price, then competition Inevitably sprlpgs up.
The existence of the trust depends on Its not exacting from
the public the highest price which could be paid.
It must be admitted that the trust leads to a vast say
ing in human effort. The great consolidation saves In the
utilization of materials. The great factory has so much
waste that it pays to establish by-lndustrles. Again, It
carries out In the completest way the principle of geograph
ical specialization. The school furniture trust, for exam
ple, will not call upon the Boston factory to furnish a
school building in Omaha, but will give the order to the
particular plant that Is nearest to the point Another ad
vantage promised Is a greater freedom from Industrial
storms, panics and degressions. Unrestricted competition
Is wasteful and often dangerous to quiet, orderly progress.
In a crisis there is no unity of action. It Is "each man for
himself." Gigantic combinations naturally enough move on
more steadily. Competition Is shut out. ' It is, therefore,
pretty certain that the industrial cyclone would be much
less likely. Thorough-going socialists welcome the process
of consolidation among warring Industries. One after
another, they say, these Industries will be organized Into
trusts and these trusts in turn will consolidate, until all
Industrial activity Is united in one universal monopoly,
whereupon the state will take possession and the socialistic
goal will have been attained. Just what form of regula
tion the trust will take It is hard to predict. It is proba
ble that, first, a fairly sharp distinction will be made be
tween those Industrial Institutions which may be left to
the ordinary forces of competition and those which need
regulation. A few thoroughly consolidated Industrial In
terests will probably be brought under the direct control of
the public. The remainder will then be left In the hands
of private Individuals, but will be subjected to sharp regula
tion, with such degree of publicity In accounting as shall
Insure the safeguarding of the rights and Interests of tha
public.
Major General McCook, Who Paaeed
Away Recently.
In the death of MaJ. Gen. Alexander
icDovv-c-U HcCoot, which took place
at Dayton, O., another old Indian
fighter and a distinguished officer of
the civil war passed away.
Gen. McCook was a member of the
famous "fighting McCook" family,
whose earliest ancestor In this coun
try, George McCook, was implicated
In a revolutionary movement in Ire
land against English rule and who
came to America G3 years ago, offered
his services to the government and
was commissioned a major. He fell
while opposing Gen. John Morgan in
one of his raids. His ten sons entered
the military service of the north, three
of them - dying on the battlefield. ,
John McCook was a physician and
had five sons. John served in the
civil war as a volunteer surgeon and
his five sons Joined the army of the
north. Thus in that great struggle
seventeen of the McCooks lent their
a garment of some kind. It was rapid
ly climbing through the limbs of trees
and escaping from one tree to another.
The hunter gave chase and, after a
long race, gained on th. fugitive until
he could lunke vul tuu ' "odiUiGa uf a
child, apparently about 10 or 12 years
old. It was thinly clad with gunny
sacks tied about the'wiriat.
The hunter hailed the child, but only
frightened him. The little fellow scam
pered the faster down the deep and
dark ravine, where he was Joined bg
a man and woman similarly attired
All three of them quickly disappear
ed by going up one of the largest pine
trees. The hunter followed.
The tree proved to be the habitation
of an entire family. Old pieces of
burlap had been woven Into a ' pecu
liar, nest, shaped like a large hat. The
nest was securely fastened to the
limbs of the tree, while a similarly
shaped basket In another tree held a
lot of dried fish, pine nuts, grain, roots
and other articles of food.
Efforts of 'the hunter to get-the tree
dwellers to descend were of no avail.
Tbey appeared badly frightened, . but
made' no attempt to attack the Intrud
er. They retreated as he advanced,
shielding the ahlld from his gaze. They
were smaller than the average adult,
having the dark skin of the ' Indian
race. They were slim and- lithe of
build, and talked to each other In a
strange language. Thelrhalr was un
like that of Indians, being rather short
and of a tawny color. Their hands
and feet were long and claw-like, espe
cially those of the child, which re
sembled in a great degree the paws of
a monkey.
The hunter went back to summon
his comrades. When they returned the
tree dwellers had fled; '

JOYS OF A VACATION SPENT
UNDER CANVAS IN THE WOODS
ft
ORE and more popular Is camp life becoming each year, says
Country Life in America. With those who go Into the deep woods in
quest of big game and fish the camp life Is, after all, the real attrac
tion and not the mere desire to kill. But where one can make these
trips, there are thousands who cannot. For these there are peaceful rivers,
wood-girt lakes and ponds and beautiful spots on the shores of Old Neptune
available for quite as charming a two weeks' outing beneath canvas. In
making up a camping party, choose you such congenial spirits as shall be
forsworn to philosophical optimism. And let there be a wag among them,
who, catching the humor of every situation, puts to flight all thought of

of water with good fishing, pine boughs for a bed and drift wood for a Are,
and who would trade his life for a king's patrimony? How delicious the
fish flavored with the pungent smoke of the Are! How rarely satisfying
the simple bill of fare, and how few, after all, are the needs of this life!
Yours is the Joy and happy freedom of the gypsy and vagabond. You have
become a species of civilized barbarian, and it Is good. Sunshine and
Bhower, what matters It? You tako what comes and give thanks, and if
you are of the right sort some of the beauty of each Is absorbed Into your
very nature. Long days, lazy days but happy days, are the days In camp.

Capt Francis ' Marlon Schell, scout
plainsman and intimate friend of "Buf

wagon train to California in the gold
excitement, of 1849. Capt Schell had
many escapes from Indians, and prac
tically every trip he made his wagon
train was attacked by hostiles.
He was a man of great strength. It
was his proudest boast that he once
carried a woman fifty mllea on his
back to a place of safety. Alone he
was making a scout, and incidentally
prospecting for gold, when he found a
woman lying on the trail. She had
been abandoned there by a wagon
train because of her illness. . Capt
Schell picked the woman up and, fast
ening her on his back with ropes, as
she was too 111 to hold on, be carried
her to the nearest camp, fifty miles
away. There the woman recovered.

discharged from the army, after hav

The start was made from St. Joseph,
Mo., and, because of his army experi
