does not greatly care for America any

A PHILADELPHIA paper, in telling
that Henry M. Stanley, when he lived
in Omaha in 1867, fell in love with an
actress, who Tilted him, remarks that
now Stanley is a woman-hater. This
statement the great explorers friends
Indignantly deny. Although Stanley
is not a married man, he gives no evil
dence of hatred for the other sex. In
fact, of the best friends he has is 4
Philadelphia woman, toward whom he
entertains feelings of the greatest re-
spect, if not Of positive affection.

the New York Sun. She looked around
expectantly, and after few minutes sat
down on her oak chest, which was cov-

Something was wrong. and all were
ready to extend sympathy. She could
not speak a word of English, but when
an interpreter was called she explained
that she had come on from the old coun-
try to marry young German, living In
or near Vincennes. She couldn't say
that he had the exact hour of her ar
rival, but the fact of his not being on
hand had filled her with doubt and mis-
givings. No one knew her Carl, and as
the interpreter happened to be worldly
man, he promptly informed her that the
young man had no doubt given her the
cold shake. She was weeping and la
menting when an old Hoosier, who was
bald-headed and bow-backed and gaunt,

GETTING ON IN LIFE.

r. T. BArnum Tells How to Become
Healthy. Wealthy ana Wise.
To young men who would A'get on" in
this world and reach the age Of four
score years with happiness and prosper
ity there is little more to be said, writes
p. T. Barnum in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. But I will refer them to "a study Of
my own rules OF action:
Briefly, I would say: Be honest; do
not spend as much as you make; don't
smoke or drink; depend upon your own
personal exertions, and do not leave i'm
portant affairs to third person; don't
have too many irons in the fire: do not
get above your own business; and, above
all, be systematic. Advertise your busi-
ness on all possible occasions; but at
tend to it, too, and see that your
claims and promises made to the public
are fulfilled. 1t does not pay TO have a
single customer 60 away dissatisfied.
Nor does it pay to take money for serv-
ices for which you do not render an
equivalent.
The best working years of a mans
life are usually between twenty-six and
sixty; but much good work is possible
long after the three-score year mark has
been passed. l can say, for myself, that
eyery moment Of my time is put to some
definite purpose and, though I have
numborless calls and demands, I enjoy
q reasonable recreation each day. Both
work and rest, and Joy also, should make
up the sum of q busy life.

These corporations although tho best
able to pay taxes of any property own
ers anywhere had long practically es-
capped taxation, and had done the most
prosperous business in the state without
paying one cent to relieve taxpayers
from their constantly increasing
burthens. Mr.. Ryan favored reversing
this order of things, and no laws for
raising public revenue have ever proved
80 popular and been so certain of en-
forcem,at as the one, to which we
allude Under his admirable manage
ment the fees collected by Mr.. Ryan
during the fiscal year ending Nov. 10,
1889, reached the remarkable aggregate
of $l46,3I9.13 The fees SO far collect
ed by him this year up to Oct. 10, have
even surpassed this great sum and have
been $l19, 1856 22--or a total under his
administration to that da.e of 1916.
2j5.3 To contrast this with the entire
collections of the office TUNED into the
treasury of Ohio from the organization
Of the state in 1903 up to Mr.. Rydn's
assumption Of its duties in January
1889, we find the whole sum received
from the secretary of the state to have
been but $110, 0,0e0.53. In other words,
in the two years of Mr.. Ryans admins
tration he has turned into the treasury
of Ohio $2l6,204.S! more than all his
predecessors combined Surely he
must be an unreasonable man who
would complain of any official who can
give 80 creditable account of his
Stewardship! The secretary of state
has nothing whatever to do with the
making Of tax levies or the increase or
decrease of the rates OF state taxation
but, so far, as we have shown, Mr..
Ryan has had great deal indeed to do
with the rapid decrease of the sum to
be raised by general taxation. He has
already greatly diminished it.

THE cALcIMlNeRs PRIZE.

a Lottery Story Warranted to Be strict-
ly and Literally Truo.
A hopeful procession of men and
women, mostly servant girls and labor
ers, file into the lottery agents on
Washington street daily, says the Chi
cago Journal. On certain days each
month they are nearly all disappointed,
but the rest Of the time the fortune
seekers who keep up with this odd pro-
cession are fun Of hope. Quite often
one who is travelling that well-worn
path for the first time asks the ele-
vator man where room % is.
II always know what they are after
when they come whispering around like
that" he remarked when the anxious
inquirer had gone on. ''They seem to be
q little ashamed."
When the great prize drawing day
came around, al man with calcimine
sprinkled on his clothes entered tho
lottery agents and took his place in
line. He was the only one in that ool-
expectation and feveriEh anxiety.
When at lastihis turn came to apply at
the little window behind which was tho
lottery agent Alike male personifcatien
of Fortune, he handed dn his ticket
The lottery agent looked at the sup
posed ticketsand handed the sprinkled
man sum of money. This caused q
tremendous sensation in the procession.
The lucky man was the cynosure of all
eyes, and the recipient of many CON-
gratulations.
"Who says that the LOTTERY is hum
bug" they thought. "Why here is q
man right in cur midst who had lucky
number and. drew prizei"
The man next him reported to those
behind that he believed dt was thou
sand dollars. None Of them knew the
cold facts in the case though. The man
who was apparently 50 favored by for
tune had calcimined the lottery agents
Office q week before that, and had just
presented his bill for $l3.50, which h
had earned, and was promptly paid.
