Two men entered Sixth avenue train

was a man of fifty years or more.

"A MAE whose name throughout the
civilized world is one that carries with
it thoughts of millions of dollars. Yet
once upon time, in the days when the
gold and the silver mines of America
remained to be discovered and devel-
oped, that man worked with Il pick and
shovel as day laborer. In the discov-
cry and development of those mines be
acquired his fortune and his fame.
The man who entered the train
with this gold and silver king was a
fine appearing young fellow of about
twenty-one years-a clerk perhaps.
There was a seat for neither of them.
One was vacated by its occupant al
Eighth street. In a manner that indi.
Gated his good breeding, the young man
touched the gold and silver king on the
arm and pointed ont to him the vacant
seat in such way as to indicate that il
was his desire that the elder should
take it.
His well meant proffer did not meet
with the ''thank you" that it merited.
Instead the gold and silver king first
stared in most insolent and scornful
manner at the young man who hnd dared
to attract his attention, and then seeing
the vacant seat ne jumped for and into
it as though his salvation depended on
getting it.

Amusements Of a proper sort are con-
ducive to health. The sports Of child
hood not only tougher the muscles and
invigorate the system, but prevent too
much cerebral activity. At the same
time they develop agility, alertness. dar-
ing, and not few of the qualities essen.
tial to success i'll life.
1t is largely the same with the sports
of youth. especially among students and
suits. For sonie persons all that is feas-
ible is simple diversion-a change in the
line of thought, feeling and care. not an
enforced change, with this for my
health behind it, but a natural and
pleasant one, which for the time alters
the currents of nervous force.
For others something more stirring
and stimulating is desirable, but all
such should remember that there is 4
limit beyond which excitement is not a
benefit, but harm.
Excitements may be injurious physic-
ally, mentally ;nd morally. There ara
the morally ruinous excitements of the
modern bull fights and of the ancient
gladiatorial shows. When women. made
for tenderness. sympathy and love, can
find their highest enjoyment i'll such cx-
hibitions. it is plain that the moral ma
tire itself has become thoroughly afro
phied.
To young men particularly the excite
nent of the theater often becomes so
controlling that it checks all their bet
ter intellectual tendencies, and leads to
reckless expenditure, and even to pilfer-
