fashionable auction rooms on Fifth avenue, New oYrk City. The
I things were sold by order of Mrs. Edwina Booth-Grossman, the

THE FRIEND.

Take the lid from off your heart and lot me see within;
Curious I, and Impudent, a rugged man of sin. -
And yet I hold you truer than -would president or priest;
I put my bowl against your lip and seat you at ray feast;
I probe your wound and cbafe your limbs and get my gods to see
That you are strengthened as we fare the forest and the lea.
Strike hands with me the -glasses brim, the sun is on the heather
And love is good and life Is long and two nre best together.
Richard Wightman.
It is strange how mortally afraid some people seem to be of
"tainted" money. In olden times people were a great deal more
philosophical about this matter. "Non olet," said the Roman
statesmen, and they took money wherever they could extort it.
Conzresman-elect Wiley, of New Jersey, seems to be particular-
lly afraid of contamination by coming in contact with "tainted"

greenbacks or yellowbacks. He proposes to introduce a dui hi
congress providing that all used bills returned to the United
States treasury for redemption be destroyed and new bills be
issued in their place. Standard Oil money should be disinfected
before it is turned over to the treasury. It might become a
source of great danger to official circles in Washington.
Somebody will be suspecting Major Squier, of the signal
corps, of being more bloodthirsty than Hobson, if he continues
to express regret that this was the only power at The Hague
conference that signed the egreement prohibiting the dropping ;
of explosives from balloons in time of war.
FAME IS TRANSITORY
Men who have had the most fighting experience say our
battleships are as good, or a little better, than any afloat of the
same type, and we are perfectly willing to let it go at that, even
if the hammer bunch cannot be silenced.
It is not pleasant to contemplate the evanescence of fame.
It makes one shudder to think of the sacrilege of grinding the
mummey of some ancient Egyptian king into powder to be used
bs a pigment or Caesar's body, "turned to clay," used to close
a bunghole.' It gives a shock to one's bump of reverence to see
a gown that once adorned some world-famous queen dragged
ovor the rough boards of a stage by some cheap actress. The
sale of a great man's personal effects is sadder and more de
pressing than his funeral,
Sentimentalism is not a prominent American characteristic.
A great man may die, his death may mean a great loss to the
country or to the world in general, but beyond the passing of
memorial resolutions and more or less pomp displayed at his
funeral, the American public pays no further tribute to his mem
ory. In some cases a monument is erected "in honor" of the!
great departed, provided he had been a general, a governor or a 1
distinguished politician. Little else counts and even in such

Mr. Archbold kindly explained the'rash of trusts to organize
under New Jersey laws by saying that it was because these laws
were "reasonable" in their treatment of corporations. Seems
like we have heard something like that before.'
