In commenting on the recent forgery case
and the Sl93 600 which was made out Of bogus
mortgages, prominent member Of the Pro-
duce Exchange pointed out the very curious
fact that when the denouement occurs, as it
does occur in all such affairs, it is always
possible to trace the expenditure Of the
money by the man committing the crime
He has either spent it in extravagant living
or in gambling, or in association with wo-
men. In other words, the moneysis always
stolen to spend, In no notable case that is
now recalled has it ever been discovered that a
man has stolen for the purpose of accumulat-
ing or adding to his own savings Misers

made Of, The fact that men who steal money
usually spend it is of course an unfortunate

The British legation at Buenos Ayres re-
ports that there is a great financial and COM
mercial boom in the Argentine Republic.
Exports and imports are increasing rapidly,
the public debt-amounting to about $780,

credit of the country abroad was never bet
ter. The public, however, are filled with the
widest speculative ideas, their operation!
varying from reckless plunging on the race:
to transactions involving tracts OF land a
big as empires. An inflated paper currency
aids this spirit, and the British legation pre-
diets disastrous panic, but says that th4
natural resources of the Argentine Republic
are so great, and the support it receives from
foreign immigration of so much value, tina
it is possible that speculation may return to lie

POET WINTERS ADVICE.
A Chat with the Quaker Bard - Il
Friendly I after

A Chat with the Quaker Bard - His
Friendly Letter.
Ny acquaintance with the poet Whittier
dates from lovely summer afternoon just
before my 18th birthday Whittier, as is
well known, spends much of the summer
season near Asquam lake. in the billy coun-
try Of New Hampshire. As my father then
was living only few miles from this sylvan
spot, he and drove over to see the Quaker
bard-known to US hitherto only through his
poems | shall not try TO describe the tall,
noble figure and delicate set commanding
features with which we are all familiar. nor
attempt, either to repeat the sparkling con
versation which ensued
One thing especially impressed me at the
time, and will never be forgotten. Mr.
Whittier said that his early ambition had
been to become a prominent politician, and
from this ideal he was persuaded only by the
earnest appeals of his friends. Taking theI
advice, he united with the prosecuted and oh
scure sect of Aboltionists, and to this course
he said, he attributed all his after success il
life. Then, turning to me and laying his
hand on my head, he remarked, In his gentle
voice: My lad, il thou would st win success
Join thyself to some unpopular but nobl'
cause"
Ny father CHANGED to mention, befor
leaving, that | had occasionally writer
scraps of poetry. Whittier kindly asked nj
| to send him some verses on my return, which
readily promised, and, armed with his au
tograph, retreated to the carriage, happier

| since.

The Old Maxim Called In Ouestion-what
Healthy Invalid" May Do.
1t is a serious question whether, in these
day Of health lifts, rowing machines, chest
weights and bean bags, rather exaggerated
ideas are not held out to the public as to the
spiritual benefits to be confidently relied on
from the dlligent use OF these The old
maxim, "a sound mind in a sound body ~ is
pretty severely put to its trumps when it has
TO maintain is dignity against practical
illustrations
OF course, the old Greeks and Romans, or
whoever invented the saw originally, merely
meant that, if a man only had a sound mind,
he could do great deal more with it IL it
were in sound body The modern bean
bag professors, however, can never content
themselves with SO moderate a statement as
this. Tone up your muscular system, they
insist, and forthwith the whole Sermon on
the Mount Will enter in and take possession of
the soul. Their favorite illustration is taken
from the goings on of the baby. Who ever
knew baby, they say, that nurses well and
sleeps well, to fret AID cry: Well, that is
simply because he is baby, little animal,
with few physical wants. Once satisfy
these, and the baby does not know enough to
ask for anything more.
But grown man Is not baby. He may
be strong enough TO digest food that would
distress an ostrich, to sleep like a alternating
bear and to tramp forty miles on a stretch,
