OLD TECUMP.
Had an Intense Hatred For
Literary Work.
Edward J. Box, in Detroit News.

Edward J. Box, in Detroit News.
General Sherman was another
man who thoroughly hated literary
work, and never could be induced
to take up his pen except to write
a letter. 1 was commissioned once
to call on the general and to pro-
cure from him an article on The
Army of To-day. I had been en-
powered to offer him any sum
which would tempt him, 80 long as
the article was secured. The old
warrior never gave me chance to
finish my story. "A waste OF
time, my son." he said as he cut
short my overtures. 81 can't be
induced, and that ends that and
all talk on that special point. u
During the evening 1 recurred
again to the subject, and I told him
I was prepared to pay him $500
for a short article. 81 said no."
he simply replied, "and I mean
it," Although 1 know of several
subsequent offers made to him he
could never be won over. "Every-
thing I care to say is in my Memo
ries beyond that 1 have positively
nothing to say" was his invariable

A Woman's Philosophy.

> To think wisely is the part of a
sage; to act wisely requires a com.
bination of man and angel.
It is easier to forgive friend for
the wrong be did us than for the
lie he told to keep it from US.
To forgive when we have forgot
ten is easy; to forgive when we
know we can never forget is noble.
The half thoughts of the foolish,
put into words, are often the levers
that move the wise to think in si.
lence and then act.
To yield love for service is toe
much like q commercial bargain;
but to serve for love is monopoly
of souls, and selfshness can never
break the combination.
That we lost the race because we
stopped to point out the right way
to a wanderer will be redeemed by
him, though our names are moi
capitalized in the next days news

journalism.


Mr.Watterson has been giving to
a reporter of the Tribune of New
York his ideas of the immense
disappo1ntments and tribulations
of journalism. ''It is a wearing,
tearing business. You get nothing
out of a newspaper excepting what
YOU take from it. Journalism is
as powerful as the magnet and as
fascinating as the wine cup. ut may
be a "wearing, tearing business, y
but nobody sees any moderately
successful newspaper man wearing
or tearing himself to get ont of it.
These diatribes against journalism
by journalists are as idiotic as they
are often insincere.

When the Earth was Young.

When the earth was very young,
says DR.. Ball, Astronomer Royal
for Ireland, it went around so fast
that the day was only three hours
long. The earth was liquid then,
and as it spun around and around
at that fearful speed, and as the
sun caused ever increasing tides
upon its surface, it at last burst in
two. The smaller part became the
moon, which has been going
around the earth every since at an
increasing distance. The influence

earth, and, while there was any
liquid to operate on in the moon,
