SELF-MADE MFN.

As much as has been said on this
subject, it has never been a theme that
was overwrought, and each new ex-
ample brought to the public notice is
only an additional incentive to the
young and the properly ambitious
young man-and especially does it
seem SO when we are pointed to an eX-
ample in our own midst. With this
preface we may be pardoned for copy
ing the following remarks from the
Seattle Dispatch, referring to an ener-
getic young man, not unknown to the
citizens of Washington Territory:
Nat. Bloomfield was the only son of
an indulgent father and doting mother,
habituated to ample means of indul-
gence, in addition to which he had the
misfortune of being pretty boy, with
10 other apparent object in life than
to be an ornament to society, III which
he was a general favorite as a mere
agreeable dilletante, being regarded by
practical men as very useless APP
pendage to community. a change
in his fathers fortunes brought him to
realizing sense of his dependence
for the future upon his own resources.
The spirit and manner in which he ac-
cepted the changed situation was Il
matter of astonishment to all his ac-
quaintances. He applied himself to
the study of the law with the determi-
nation and persistence which nearly
ruined his health, and on his admission
to the bar Immediately took rank with
the ablest lawyers in the district He
stepped into the arena in full harness,
and has won the respect and admira-
ton of all by his manly bearing and
manifest devotion to duty. Soon after
commencing practice he was elected
Prosecuting Attorney of his judicial
district, and in the discharge of the
duties of that office he has made a
splendid record.
The young man Injured to toll from
childhood, with no means of indulgence,
who by industry and perseverance
overcomeS all obstacles and achieves
honorable distinction for himself is al
ways regarded with high consideration
in every intelligent community; but
he is a greater hero who emancipates
himself from habits of luxurious indul-
gence, voluntarily enters upon life Of
toll and self-denial and carves out for
himself position Of honor by his own
indomitable pluck. We are glad Of
the opportunity of recording our adj
miration of such a character.

Newspaper Decisions.

1. Any person who takes paper regularly
from the post-oflice, whether directed i'll his
name or another's, or whether he has sub
scribcd or not-is responsible for payment.
=. If II person orders his paper discontinued,
he must pay all arrears, or the publisher may
continue to send it until payment is made, and
then collect the whole amount, whether thc
paper is taken from the Office or not.
3. The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers and periodicals from the post,
office, or removing and leaving them uncalled
for. is prma facia evidence of Intentional
fraud.

The downfall of Mr.. Mitchell in
Oregon, furnisheradditional evidence
that the rank and file of the Repub-
lican party, if Objectionable party
leaders who wish TO subordinate
everything to self-interest cannot be
induced to retire by any other means,
will throw away power temporarily
rather than not free themselves of the
incubus. The management OF a party
bv one interested man is not always
compatible with its prosperity and
success.

Olympia is looking up, if we may
Judge by the following, from the Staad-
ard:
The results of the progress of our
railroad enterprises are already becom-
ing apparent, in the renewed confidence
felt by all classes of the community.
The feeling of deSpondency that had
clouded the future has been supplanted
by one of hope, and the Improvements
that are being made on every hand in
dicate a growing faith in the stability
of our interests. Everybody finds en-
ployment who seeks it, the shops are
crowded with orders, and the mer-
chants report ready sales for cash, all
of which indicate the dawn of season
of prosperity. just how much this is
owing to the railroad, is, Of course,
difficult to determine, but we believe
that it is the primary cause which has
set the ball OF progress in motion.

A Noble Boy.

Well saw a boy osomethingthe
other day that made me feel good for
a week. Indeed, it makes my heart
feel with tenderness and good feeling,
even now as write about it. But
let me tell you what it was. AS |
was walking along a street of great
city, l saw an old man who seemed to
be blind walking along without any
one to lead him. He went very slow,
feeling with his cane.
"He's walking straight to the high
est part Of the curbstone," said I to
myself. "And its very high, too; 1
wonder if some one won't tell him,
and start him in the light direction?"
"Just then boy, about fourteen
years old, who was playing near the
corner, left his playmates, ran up to
the old man, put his hand through
the mans arm, and said:
"Let me lead you across the street.
By this time there were three or four
others watching the boy. He not
only helped him over the crossing,
but led him over another to the low
er side of the street. Then he ran
back to his play! Now, this boy
thought he had only done the man u
kindness, while l knew that he had
made three other persons who had
stopped to watch the boy, turn away
with tender smile on their fac, 5
ready to follow the noble example he
had set for them, know that | felt
more gentle and forgiving toward
every one for many days.
Another one that was made happy
was the boy himself. For it is i'm
possible for us to do u kind act, or to
make any one happy, without being
better or happier ourselves. To be
good, and do good, is to be happy
This is every ono's mission here in
this world, Then again, the kind oI
boy here, shows the kind of man you
are going to be, lfyou are kind
|. gentle boy, you will be n generous
benevolent man.

Retiring from a Passionate.

The Rev. Dr.. Stephen II. Tying, for
third OF century the rector of S. George
Episcopal Church in StuYvcsant square
has announced his determination to retir,
from the Passionate on the lst Of May next
Ills formal resignation has not vet beer
announced to the church membership, bar
his arrangements with the yestrv have been
completed, and the correspondence will be
made public in a few aa7s.
Dr. Tyng said, yesterday, that at present
ne could Say nothing as to the reasons that
led him to rasiso, bus that he would make
them kno" at the proper time.
The vestryman considered the announee.
ment no" TO he premature, aud declined to
speak.
When DE-. Tying assumed the nastorate
OF st. Georges, thirty three years ago. he
made lie contract with the yes.rymen hv
which be was to he rector of the parish at
s@'V0o year. This contrao: has been an.
nni!ed by mutual consent. and another con.
'r"ct signed which makes DR.. Tying rector
emeritus, with a salary of S. 900 durirg his
life. He will retire from the parsonage
adjoining the church where he has always
lived
DR.. Tyng is native of Nevburyport,
Mass, and graduate of Hayart College,
lie settled IN Philadelphia in 1920, and was
called to the pastorate of St. Georges
Churee in 1915. The Cd church edifee
was IN Bleeoker street. When the present
church edifce was built in Stuv,esan,
square it then stood in the fashionable CUP
town quarter Of New York. The res;dan.
ees OF merchant miihonaires fTonted on the
square, and st. Georges congregation WAS
one OF the wea.thisst in the city. Since
the church was built the fashion and wealth
nave removed further up town, and ST.
George's has suffered large falling eff in
attendance and revenue The church owed
Its financial as well as spiritual prosperity
TO DR.. lying, who, with his high pulpit abil.
lty, combined fine business tact.
As showing his foresight ia business mat
ters, 1t is related that when the present
building sight was bought DR.. Tying advised
the purchase of Il lot fronting en- Union
square, which he said ould in time bpcone
more valuable than the Stuyvesans square
property. The vestrymen thought it wiser
to pay $4,000 less and take Mr.. stayva-
SAINTS lot. The money for carrying on the
mission and charities Of St. Georges is not
pad from the church revenues, but has
oeen raised by voluntary contributions
through Dr. Tyng's efforts. Dr.. Tvng has
raised as much as 100000 in year BY his
personal exertions.
Although he will be IS years of age On
the ist .! March, DR.. Tynge is still able to
accomplish a vast amount Of work. lie is |
10 his study at work by o'clock in the
and frequently writes all day. A
year ago he had an attack of fever from
which he has not fully recovered. The
Rev. Walter Williams of Georgetown, d. /
g., was made assistant rector, aud has
since alternated with Dr.. Tynse in the
church services. Dr.. Williams will succeed
Or. TyEg as rector.

This mundane sphere is q mighty uncer-

strike an up grade when you're in the big
