Up and Down the Soc ial Lad.
der,

Everybody knows the way up the
social ladder. 1t has been shown to
those below my millions of twinkling
teet. 1t is a broad ladder up which
people + always climbing, some
slowly, some quickly. From cordu-
roy to broadclcth; from workshop to
counter; from shop-boy to master;
from shop to office; from trade to
profession, from the bedroom over
the shop to the great country villa.
The other day q bricklayer told me
that his grandfather and the first
Lord O.'s father were old pals; they
used to 90 poaching together, but the
parent OF Lord 0. was so clever as to
open a shop, where he sold what his
friend poached. The shop began it,
you see. The way up is known to
everybody. But there is another way
which we seldom regard, it is the way
down again. The Family Rise is the
commonest phenomenon. ls not the
i name Legion Of those of whom men
say, partly with the pride of connect
ing themselves with greatness. partly
with the natural desire which small
men always show to tear away some
thing ofthat greatness, "Why, / knew
him when his father had that
shop" The Family Fall is
less conspicuous. Yet there are always
as many going down as climbing up.
You cannot, in fact, stay still. You
must either climb or slip down-un-
less, indeed,you have got your leg over
the topmost runs, which means the
stability OF a hereditary titles and
landed property. We all ought to
have hereditary titles and landed
property, in order to insure national
prosperity forever. Novelists do not
as, O. rule treat of the Sinking Back,
because it is a depressing subject.
There are many ways OF falling.
Mostly the father makes an ass Of
himself in the way OF business specula-
ton, or he dies too soon. or his sons
possess none of their fathers ability,
or they take to drink. Anyhow, down
goes the family; at first slowly, but
with ever-increasing rapidity, back to
it's original level. There is no country
in the world-certainly not the United
States-where g. young man might
rise TO distinction with greater ease
than the realm of the Three King
doms. There is also none where the
families show a greater alacrity In
sinking. But the most reluctant to
go down, those who clings most tight
ly to the social level, which they think
they have reached, are the daughters:
SO that when misfortunes fall upon
them they ale ready to deny them
social dignity which they think belongs
to them.-WalterB esant inLongman's
Magazine.

A Laxity All Around,
PHILADELPHIA Times

Philadelphia Times
A Cincinnati court has decreed a
divorce in the case of Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel G. Young, who in an exuber-
ance of feeling not strictly Of areason-
ing kind, were married last summer
in an ascending balloon at Pittsburg.
The marriage, it appears, vas only
a side show to the balloon ascension
circus. Neither of the principals had
any intention of becoming a party to
a binding contract, nor did they eve
consummate the union or live togeth.
er afterward. The only condition OF
the law which had been fulfilled was
to give consent before a qualified
reader of the service-not enough,
the judge held, to warrant him in
refusing the plea OF separation filed
by both Mr.. and Mrs. Young. The
decision is not very satisfying. 1t
would have been better sense if not
better law, to have forced the couple
to put up with each other, if only to
point q serious moral to the other
fools who trile with aserious custom.

Jim Odom And The Snake.

Jim Odom is a good citizen and the
craftiest hunter in Georgia. He kills
more turkeys and deer than any other
four men in the country. taking into
account the time spent in hunting.
He has a pocket full Of long turkey
boards, all killed this year. Hedoesn't
shoot the hens, from the fact that he
can kill a gobbler when he chooses,
preferring to save them to keep up the
game supply. A few mornings ago,
as Jim was sitting down by a tree
yelping for turkeys, up crawled a
monster r~attlesnake, which had mis-.
taken the call of Jim for that OF a
young turkey. Jim settled his hash
and now as he pulls the boards out
of his pocket the rattles come, too.

THE parish of Plaquemines, on the
Mississippi, below New Orleans, has a
small population. The election formerly
occupied three days in Louisiana a
properly qualification for the voter was re-
quired in 1904. In 1910 the vote of the
parish was Democratic $50, Wing 40. In
1872, 179 and SO; in 1843, 80 and SO; in
1914, 1907 Democratic and 81 Wing. The
issue in the latter case was the question of
the admission of Texas. The political
bosses Of that day determined to give the
State to Polk, though at heart Louisiana
was for Harry Clay, and even as it was
Clay received in Louisiana l3,OSS and
Polk 1872. 1t will be seen that in the
parish named the Democratic majority
had not exceeded pa, and that up to the
year before the Clay and Polk campaign,
the vote indicated no material increase in
population. Yet in few months the vote
jumped from a total of $40 Democratic to
1907, and the Wing vote advanced only
from So to 81. Hence, the vote of that
parish gave the State to Polk. An inves-
tigation was had and fraud OF the boldest
character proven-namely, in refusing to
hear challenges to Polk votes, and in
carrying steamer loads of Polk voters from
New 0rleanes to Plaquemines and voting
them in herds. So shat it appears the
methods OF to-day in Louisiana are not
greatly different now from what they were
forty-iour years ago, and that Democratic
election tickets have rot changed ia stripe

The Wanamaker experiment in profit
sharing is reported by the Philadelphia
Press to have demonstrated the high value
and practicableness of the system after
nearly two years of trial. Indeed the re-
suits have far exceeded the expectations
of its friends. This journal, when the ex-
pertinent was entered upon in Philadel-
phia and Sacramento, announced its faith
in the wisdom and commercial practical
bility of the system. 1t is liberal policy,
that pays financially, and upon that basis
alone commends itself, to say nothing of its
great value in conserving provident habits
and industry.

AMONG the resolutions of the Irish
