THE RIGHTS OF TENANTS.

The course of the young woman who
has brought suit for damages against
the owner of q house she rented because
he declined to make needed repairs will
rouse a responsive throb in the hearts
of many another long-suffering tenant
of other peoples property. There are
landlords in Indianapolis who do not
consider it a personal insult to be re-
Quested to put their dwellings in proper
condition for civilized occupants, and
they will veal beautiful crowns when
they go hence to their reward. There
are others, too many of them, who con-
slider themselves entitled not only to the
largest possible amount of rent
they can extract from their victims,
but also to humble hanks for the in
estimable privilege of being permitted
TO reside in houses belonging to them,
the said landlords. Any intimatiOn that
modern improvements are desirable,
that the plumbing is defective, that the
wild winds of winter sweep IN at the
yawning spaces left about the windows
as the cheap framework shrinks away
any request for clean paper or fresh
paint, or a prOpping up of the premises
is met with refusal and rebuke for the
temerity. not to say the ingratitude Of
the tenant. Is it not enough, this per-
son demands in effect, that you live in
my house, though it consist of bu four
bare walls and IA roof? Is it not enough
that Won have shelfer2 Ii ia prapoSfer-
Gus for a renter to ask 1uxuries.
The trouble is thar the old-time land
lord of this city has not kept
pace with modern improvements.
He does not know what his ten
ants have a right to expect.

HOW TO GET RICH.

1t is easy enough If one begins in time
and makes it the object of life. Almost
any young man of average talents can
succeed in accomplishing anything i'm
reason that he sets his head and heart
upon, provided he adheres steadily and
fixedly to his purpose and works to q
definite end. The trouble with most
young men, with nearly all. in fact, is
that they have no fixed purpose, no def
mite aim in life. They do not realize
the necessity of having n rule and plan
of life. They do not realize how short
life is until it is nearly gone. and then it
is too late to form definite plans or new
habits.
The Journal would not be under
stood as saying hat the mere
acquisition of wealth is a worthy
ambition for any young man. On
the contrary, that alone. unaccOm-
panied by any other motive, is a low
and unworthy ambition. 1t may, how
ever, be relieved from sordidness by an
accompanying desire to become wealthy
for some noble and worthy
Even what Burns calls 1.-THE glorious
privilege of being independent" is not
an unworthy motive, while that of max
ing others comfortable and happy, or of
serving mankind In some larger way, is
a still higher motive. While wealth is
not a thing to be worshiped. it certainly
is not to be despised.
The secret of how to get rich was
never better told than in Poor Richards
adage, Economy is the road to wealth."
1t is not what a man earns that makes
him rich, but what he saves. Rigid
economy. begun early in life and steadi-
~ adhered TO, will almostcertainly bring
a competence if not wealth. But it
must be a rigid, systematic economy.
adhered to week after week, month

the way of life. 1t means a great deal
of ~self-denial. the cutting off of all in
d~ulgences and nearly all pleasures. He
who desires TO become rich must be con-

and saving money. He must learn To

making q contract at the latter price this

off the duty was but tritling. the chief
causes being the crowding of the market
with q better quality of bark at a lower

trade it would be difficult for American
manufacturers to compete.

SPRING IN COUNTRY AND CITY.

1t is to be noticed that all the poets
and panegyrists of spring sound the
praises of that season only as it is known
in the rural world. The violet on the
messy bank, the forest bowers, the purl-
ing brooks, the "smell of field and
grove"-all are features of the budding
year known only by hearsay or memory
poets and the eulogists affect to pity
this being SO cribbed and cabined with
in brick walls. Perhaps he is a proper
object of compassion. He does un-
d~oubtedly lose something in the way of
poetry, but this loss has its compensa-
tons. The same blue sky bends over
him that makes his country brother glad.
but he has not the same mud under foot.
The messy bank and the field where
the cOwslips grow are apt to be
a tri1e bOggy at this season. and there
are advantages appreciated by the prac-
teal person in walking over dry pave
ments, and buying the vlolets and cow
slips i'm market. At market, too, he can
supply himself with the crisp lettuce,
the succulent onion and radish, and the
bloOd-reviving spinach, while the cOun-
try poet is yet t%oilsomely putting the
seeds into the gTound that will eventu-
ally provide him with these vegetables.
1t is agreeable, of course. to gather to-
matoes from your own vine and roasting
ears from the OH that you have
planted, but the poetry of the gathering
is distinctly visible to the man who con-
templates from afar the preliminary
hoeing. and plouGhing. The "smell of
field and grove" has no charms for him
under such conditions. He may nave no
poetry in his soul, but he is fairly cOn-
tent with his view of the spring sky, his
share of balny breezes and his oppor-
tunity to choose from the choicest
RrOwths of the garden and best fruits of
the harvest. Others may have the
blue-birds, the poetry and the bad roads.
