WEBSTER AS A BOY.
The Early Struggles and Poverty of
the Great Orator.

Youths Companion.
The following extract from the let
ters OF Daniel Websters and his
brother Eek lei will indicate how the
young men had to struggle with pc.
verify through their college days.
The reader will remember that the
home farm was mortgaged to pay
Daniels expenses through college,
and when it was proposed to give
Esskiel similar advantages the father
sud mother had council.
The farm is already mortgaged,
said the old gentleman, and If we
send Ezekiel to college it will take all
we have, but the boys think they can
take care of US.
1t did not take the strong hearted,
sagscious woman long to decide the
matter. We can trust the boys she
said.
SO the matter was settled. Daniel
went back TO Hanover, while Ezekiel
went, bundle in hand, to DIR. Woods
and began to study of Latin, his ex-
penses Dein but 81 week.
In Novemh er. 1902. Daniel wa at
home in Salisbury, while Ezekiel was
struggling win poverty at Hanover.
Funds were getting low in the Webs
ter home tead. Daniel writes under
date of November 4:
Now, Zeke, you will not read half a
sentence-nO, not one syllable-before
you have thoroughly seacrhed this
sheet for scrip. but my word for it,
you'll find no scrip here. We held q
sanhedrim this morning on the sub
nf -,
way to get any. Just before we wei
away Ia hang ourselves through
disappointment, it came into or
heaus thatnex week might do.
The truth is, the father had an
execution against Hubbard, of North
Chester, for about 500 The money
was collected and just ready 10 drop
into the hands OF the creditors, when
Hubbard suddenly died, This, you
see stays the execution till the long
process of administering is completed
have now by me two cents in law
full Federal currency. Next week I
shall send them, if they be all.
We are all here just in the old way
always behind and Lacking. Boys
digging potatoes with frozen fingers
and girls washing without wood.
Ezekiel writes TO Daniel at about
the same time the two letters prob.
able crossing each other:
These cold frosty mornings very
sensibly me that I want q wa m.
greatcoat. wish, Daniel, it might
be covenient 10 send me cloth for one,
otherwise / shall be necesitated to
purchase one here. / do not care
what color it is-anything that will

pest Deacon Pettinglll has written
offering me Sl4 a month to keep

Money, Dan, money! AS I was
walking down to the office after a
letter happened to have one cent,
which is the only money 1 have had
since the second day after came on.
1t is fact, Dan, that / was called on

ro~ed tand have borrowed it four
times since to pay those borrowed

The Murderer and the Thief

me Murderer ana the Thief
Washington Star.
Of late years there has sprung up q
new science which seeks to investi-
gate tine natural history of the crimi-
nal. 1t regards the criminal as a
variety of the human species which
has degenerated physically and
morally. The most eminent living
authority on this subject thus de.
scribes the'two great criminal classes:
The murderer" he says, "has a cold
concentrated look; the nose is often
acquiline or hooked, always large;
the ears are long, the
Jaws powerful the cheek
6ones widely separated, the
. hair is crisp and abundant; the can.
Inc teeth we'll developed and the lips
thini often the eye appears bloodshot.
aud nervous contraction on one side
Of the face uncOvers the canine teeth,
producing sardonic effect.
The thief, he asserts, has less brain
capacity than the assassin: he has
remarkable mobility of coun teuance:
the eye is SIN I'll and restless; the eve.
brows thick; the nose fat and the
forehead low and retrea ting. Another
writer on the same topic declares that
one visiting prison can, by the aid
of these outline descriptions, distin.
guish those condemned for murder
from those convicted of theft.

SHORT STOPS.
what the people are Saying.

The advertisement of the county
administration giving 80 days notice
for bids for the sale OF $240, 900 couni y
court house bonds, brings forcibly u
f, mud the fact that our county needs a
financial head.
1t will not be possible to sell these
| bonds on the New York market, as
they are payable within 20 years, and
II they could be sold in a lump the
money would he held here in some
bank, as so much idle capital, for two
years to come.
What the people object to is a repe
titiou of the official folly and extrava-
gance practiced by the city.
The notice, 80 days, is inadequate,
a fact that will be discovered when
too late. 1t would have been much
better for the county to have conferred
with the state financial officers and
arranged to sell these bonds as they
had need for the money.
There is much suppressed feeling
among the people over the proposal
to admit the Catholic sisters or nuns
to be teachers In our public schools.
1t is regarded as the commencement
of a religious war that will prove dis
astrous to the peace of the people.
The opinion of the attorney general Is
correct so far as it goes, but it does
not reach the question at issue.
There is no exclusion now. Many
of our teachers are catholics, and no
question has been raised about their
fitness; but the nuns" or SISTERS"
as they are called, represent a relig-
ious order entirely unsuited for the
public school room.
The question is not whether teach
ers holding TO the Roman Catholic
religion shall be admitted as teachers,
out whether we shall turn our public
school rooms into nuneries.
1t is a move, no doubt, to force q
division of our public school funds;
to this the people are opposed, re-
gardless of religious beliefs. Once
admit this principle, and our public
school fund will be torn
into hundred fragments to
feed schools conducted by differ
ent religious sects. 1T wont do.
But, If we mt st have this struggle,
let it. come now. Our city is the
Catholic stronghold of Texas. Backed
by an ill considered opinion from the
attorney general; with Catholic
mayor at the head of the ity govern
ment; no doubt the movement will be
formidable until it reaches the mag
nitude of a state issue.
Preachers and priests, male or fe-
male, are Ineligible as teachers In
our nOn-sectarian public schools. But
no one is Ineligible on account of
religious belief

GENERAL BANKS,

Halstead, in Cincinnati Commercial:
The country will hear with regret of
tho poverty in his old age of General
N. P. Banks, OF Massachusetts. There
was a time when General Banks was
the foremost man in the country, and
had an immense popular following.
When elected Speaker it seemed that
the few distinctions greater and hon.
o-s higher than that were eusily within
his reach. His career as poor boy
who learned trade and was a hard
worker and had not only educated
himself but gained accomplishments
in The languages and in literature, was
followed with sympathy and admira-
ton. Gradually his great reputation
faded. There was for this plain
causes. He was not man of profound
selfishness and inflexible will. He did
notinsist as rightupon riding at the
head Of all the professions. He did
not demand incessant recognition as
great man. More pushing politicians
got ahead Of him. He had brains, but
was not an imperialist as to himself,
and did not on all occasions force at
the expense Of others his own fortunes.
He entered the war, as the phrase Of
the time was, and unfortunately fo-
his fame held too high position at
the START. He was, though stigmat;zed
us politician, brave and capable Of
ficer. tnluckily for him he was pit
ted against the most striking military
genius in the Confederate armies
Stonewall Jackson-and because by a
timely retreat he saved his army, los
ing a great deal OF valuable baggage,
the laugh was on him. At the battle
of Cedar Mountain he was conspicu-
GUS for personal gallantry, and So
again in his unfortunate Red River
expedition, which was not his fault,
but gave him record Of military mis-
fortune to carry. S.nce the war Gen.
Banks has not been among the most
influential men in the country. He
added to his misa1ventures as a SOL
dief some mistakes as a politician,
and o2gh repeatedly elected to Coo
gress, his leadership was lost. His
poverty is evidence Of integrity, and
his failures do not imply that he did
not possess high qualities, for he d;i,
and he will have an honorable place
in history.
