No hereditary Ar,.,ecr.cy.

We congratulate che Hon. Mark
Hopkins Dnnnell, NJ c., of Minneso-
ia, on his opposition to the proposal
made in the House of Representa-
tives that the President should be
authorized to appoint every year
twenty sons of army officers to be
cadets at West Point.
Upon that question Mr.. Dunnell
spoke like genuine American He
would not have an hereditary privi-
lege conferred upon any peculiar por-
ton of the inhabitants of this coun-
try. They should all stand alike.
None of them should be destined
from their birth to the enjoyment of
public official advantages over 9TH
ers.
The tendencies to aristocratical in
situations and to the establishment
of privileged classes are much too
strong already. They inslnuate
themselves everywhere and under al
most every pretext. They should be
met everywhere with the same deter
mined resistance as has now been ex-
hibited by Mr.. Dunnell.-New York
Sun.

Hospitality in Early California Days.

Hospitality in Early California Days.
In the old days there was not hotel
in California, and it was considered a
grievous offense even for n stranger,
much more for friend, to pass by a
ranch without stopping. Fresh horses
were always furnished. and in many
cases on record when strangers ap-
peared to need financial help n pile of
uncounted silver was left in the sleep
ing apartment, and they were given to
understand that they were to take all
they needed. This money WIS covered
with a cloth, and it was a point Of
honor not to count it beforehand nor
afterward 1t was 'sguest silver" and
the custom continued until its abuse by
travellers compelled the native Califor
mans to abandon it.
Among themselves no one was ever
allowed to suffer or struggle for lack of
help. The late DR.. Nicholas Den, of
Santa Barbara, who married into the
Ortega family, once needed money to
carry through a speculation, and
thought of going to Los Angeles to
borrow it. Old Father Narciso, hear
ing of the matter, sent his Indian boy
to him with ''cora," or four gallon
tule basket, full of gold, and the mes
sage that he ortght to come to his priest
whenever he needed help.-Charles
Howard Shinn in Century.

The Art of Drtnkfng.


In letter by one of gEngland's
wittiest men, this paragraph appear
ed relating to q lately deceased
friend: .s
drinking is fine art-a fact he
did not know or grossly misunder-
stood; thus it led to his ruin, then
his death. Drinking when done ar
tistically and with taste and discrim-
ination is q most attractive pasti me.
Meyer attempt to combine it with
anything else; it is in its nature
thing apart. Drinking and business
are mistake. Drinking and mar
ried life are fatal to happiness.
Drinking and gambling are suicidal.
So you see the secret is never to at
tempt it in conjunction with any
other career you may have in view.
If you propose to make it your whole
existence, it is wonderful how short
and useless your life may be at very
small expense"

What Is aHustler?

A young man who lives in Oshkosh
is one of the best exemp1ifications of a
hustler that has come under the OBJ
servation of this department. He is a
stenographer and typewriter and is en-
ployed by three legal firms. He does
all their work. and that of either firm
is enough to keep any ordinary man
busy. He attends to miscellaneous
work and does the correspondence of
several large lumber firms. In addition
to these duties he Is correspondent for
two daily newspapers.
He is likewise member of the brass
band, and anybody who has ever
watched a brass band in a town the
size of Oshkosh need not be told how
incessant are the demands upon it.
On the occasion of recent event the
band was there, and when it wasn't
playing the young man who is the sub
ject of this paragraph was reporting
the proceedings of the event for his
two newspapers. He is hustler

He discussed the objects ofthe AL

A Living Emetic.

A servant who did not find her way
very promptly to the kitchen one morn

A New Departure,

WAsHINGToN,.D. c., October "a week
ago number of clerks and letter carriers
In the Philadelphia postoffice were sus-
pended from duty for attending the races
at Gloucester and putting up money on
the horses. Several Of them are still on
the ragged edge with the prospects that
they will be dismissed from the service.
1t was said at the time that this step was
purely local one and instigated by Post
master Field, who is a strict church mem
Der and regards horse racing and betting
al. as one OF the greatest of American evils.
There are reasons for believing, however,
that he simply acted in accordance with
suggestions from the postoffice depart
ment in this city, and people who are
close to Postmaster General Wannamaker
say that they would not be surprised if a
nat went forth in few days to the effect
that letter carriers and other employees
OF the postoffices throughout the country
must keep away from race tracks and all
'ther betting resorts if they desire to keep
heir situations.
