gate st least SO. 600 by their vksat
crops this season. IL IL q pity they
didn't sow their lands in shoepees.

Boston Herald: .'One Of our largest
brewers has recently brought on man
from Cincinnati TO superintend his
brewery ut al annual salary Of more
than twice that Of the President OF Har-
ward University" Well, what Of il?
You should remember that there il
quite that much difference between the
making Of good beer and the mere

It is NO wonder that 20 many men in
whose hands large sums of money are
deposited go to specializing secretly
with such funds. It is true their spec
ulations almost always turn ont disas-
trously, but then, when ruin and de-
vastation come, how inexpressibly
sweet and soothing to the weary soul is
the contemplation of the fact that the
money squandered belonged to some
body else.
Betty McGruder, negro woman liv-
ing near Mt. Washington, in this State,
says that in 1876, when fourteen years
old, she passed through Louisville, then

other of boards, and that ehe has never
seen the place since. Such have been
the changes wrought upon the appear.
ance of the city, even within the brief
period of nine-two years, that If she
were to see it now she would hardly
recognize it as the same place.
Citizen Schwab, who appears as
of the horny handed and
honest toilers before the Labor Com
stated to crowd in his saloon
in New York the other day that he "be-
lieved in being happy and making the
most money can with the smallest
amount of manual labor possible" It
appears that this is the creed of good
many demagogues who are just now
trying to bring about war between
labor and capital. It is the tramp doc
trine to perfection.
The last Greenwich estimate Of the
distance of tho sun from the earth is
81, 1913 $50 miles, which is regarded by
Prof. Proctor as approximately correct.
The distance, as determined from the
work of the British ex-
petitions for observing the transit of
Venus, is about 1O0, 1000, 900 of miles.
Any schoolboy who has ciphered as far
as the single rule of three, could make
an estimate from observations of the
transit of blind mule across the disc
of fodder.stack and come nearer to it
than that.
The only reason that Henri Jackson,
years old, could give for TAX
ing smaller boy out into the river at
l. avenworth, Kansas, and drowning
him, was that he had made up his mind
that he would like to be hanged as
murderer. It would be pity to disap-
point that boy. If they should decline
to hang him after the trouble he hos
put himself to he would feel that the
fates are against him and lose all enter
prize. It is serious thing to disap-
point the glowing expectations of pas.
stoned youth.
Providence, r. l., has Squantum
Club, and the Squantum Club owns an
island in the river, which they have
adorned at an expense Of $6O, 900, and

CLANS. 1T is the ordinary thing" says
o Providence letter-writer, ''for the
of from twenty to fifty

that can't stand protracted drought
would be c'lamity which the Squan-
tum Club would hardly survive.
