The Height of Great Men.

A correspondent inquiries of us if
there is any truth in the general be-
lief that the leaders of any partic-
ular age are large men, ''or is it
merely superstition?"
There is a modicum of truth in
it. While there are numerous ex-
ceptions, it seems to he a fact that
great poets, essayists, scholars and
philosophical thinkers are, as a rule,
small; while great generals, orators
and politicians-those who are en-
crossed in doing rather than think
ing-are, as a rule, above the aver
age size of man. There is reason
for it; those who possess the most
vitality are apt to make the biggest
noise in the world. Washington
was large man; SO were Cortez,
Charlemagne and Wellington; so
were Webster, Clay, Tom Corwin,
Tom Marshall. Lincoln, Chase, Sum-
ner; so are Gladstone, Bismarck,
Ferry, Cleveland, James G. Blaine
and Gen. Sherman. When men who
have won distinction are not tall,
they generally make it up in
breadth, like Bonaparte. Stephen A,
Douglas and Sheridan.
The thinkers of the world have
generally been small; as Cicero,
Aristotle, Bacon, Alexander Pope,
Alexander Hamilton and Oliver
Wendell Holmes. The members of
the senate, ever since that body was
established. have been, it is alleged,
about an inch taller than the aver
age height of American men. Sue
cessful American editors have gen.
orally been tall men, averaging six
feet high and over 200 pounds, as
the elder Bennett, Thurlow Weed,
James Watson Webb, Horace Gree,
ley, Wilbur F. Storey, Murat Hal
stead, Joseph Medill, ,Whitelaw Reid
Joseph Pulitzer, and Charles A.
Dana-all fine specimens of full
grown men.
Great orators are almost always
large men, and such specimens as Jos
Cook, Henry Ward Beecher, Colone
Robert G. Ingersoll, Mr.. Moody
Roscoe Conkling and De Witt C
Talmage are familiar to the eye O.
the present generation of Americans
These orators are not only alike il
weighing 225 pounds apiece, but
they further resemble each other IL
possessing keen sense of both hu
NOR and pathos, and in being coars,
grained-of the earth, earthly. l
they had not been coarse of textur
they would have died young, and i
they were not large they would hav
lacked the physical strength to sur
pass in the sharp competitions o
their time. In New York it is pro
verbal that the great merchant
outweigh their clerks.-Wa WashiagtoI

Why They Speak Of Sleeping Car as
a NSleener.N

A sleeper is one who sleeps. A
sleeper is that in which the sleeper
sleeps. A sleeper is that on which
the sleeper which carries the sleep
er while he sleeps runs. Therefore,
while the sleeper sleeps in the sleep
er the sleeper carries the sleeper
over the sleeper under the sleeper
until the sleeper which carries the
sleeper jumps off the sleeper and
wakes the sleeper in the sleeper, by
striking the sleeper under the sleep
per, and there is no longer any
sleeper sleeping in the sleeper on
the sleeper.-San Diego Onion.

The Fourth of July, the great day of In
dependence, which is celebrated even in the
most remote spot Of this vast Union, and
is not forgotten in any part OF the world
where an American can be found, is fast
approaching. The noble eagle will soar
higher and scream with all its glorious
energy in three weeks from to-day. Every
true American is proud of the day, and
proud Of the circumstances which csuEes
that day to be venerated. In every hamlet
as well as in every city, al mankind appear
dressed in keeping with the day, and the
man is looked down upon who wears an
old and broken-down suit Of clothes when
ii is known that he is able to purchase q
better one. Honor the dag under which
you are secure young man. You of mature
age teach your offspring to respect the day,
not only by their astions but by their sp-
pearance. The Marshall Ball Clothing Co.,

When one speaks of any association Of
persons who have formed into an organized
body for the furtherance of any particular
object be it pleasure or business-the
the general impression at once is that its
purposes are competitive; that is, that its
object is to compete with any or all organ
izations in its, narticular line of trade or
pleasure ThSse is more than trite say
ing, however. that every rule has Its excep-
tions, and the Orion Rowing and Athletic
Association, of this city, is probably the
only notable exception to this rule here

as the bills presented to the consideration
of our State lawmakers, expressed In it's
title rowing and athletic sports. But its
mainiobject is the social advancement of
its members and their friends. All the
competition the Association has is among
its own members, and they never enter
