The Use OF sudden Wealth.

The disposition toward mad extrava-
gance so often seen in wealthy young
men Ia not always the result Of means
to crafty overstrong desires, but the
positive foolishness or mental incompe-
tence, which. under the pressure Of mar
row means, would not only never have
developed itself. but never have existed.
~ have succeeded" said a very great
statesman. because | have never had
enough TO live on.
The silly marriages the old frequently
make are in just the same way the result
not Of loss Of judgment. but Of a weak
ening of the resisting power of the will.
The consequences of unexpected wealth
are, however. as often fortunate as un-
fortunate. for they are the products OF
the natural character.
We have seen q man who inherited a
fortune, very large for his wants, be.
come during the remainder of his life al.
most or quite misery. but that was only
on a large scale the result of the impulse

timidity about spending, which is con
stantly noticeable also in men who wer'
born rich.-London Spectator.

Going Out by Degrees.

Brignoli was SO careful of his voice
when he had to sing that he would not
speak at all and was in the habit of
writing his wishes on a piece of paper.
During the last 30 years of his life he
lived at the Everett House when not on
the road. 1t took him at least three
quarters Of an hour to 60 from his room
to the sidewalk. He must get used to
the changes very gradually. Leaving
the room. he would pace up and down
the, hall for 10 or Is minutes, until thor

would say. and from there would go to

A rich joke leaked out this week on
three boys. They are Pic Cross, Billy
Byrnes and D. Webster Mccarthy. A
woman was ut the bottom of 1t all. Not
long ago she was visiting friends across

she was here for q good time she treated

pected attention in return. Each thought

but none knew OF the others prediction
for the girl. When the time came for
her to go home. she babe them adieu and
said that she would go in q day or two.
Each of the boys asked the girl If he
could call on her. She said yes and
fixed the evening when she would be ut
her home in the interior Of this state.
Each went there thinking that he had
a cinch on her. One of them rode In a
sleeper. the second in a day coach and
the third In the smoker. 1t was about
midnight when they arrived at the place.
and they went to bed at different hotels.

strung along the road en- route t o the

and they all got left. The girl concluded
to remain over u week longer and never
thought that the boys would come.

home together. The trip cost them $50
each" They tried to keep the affair quiet.

The Nutsnaee Of Inartistic Adyertiatnak/
We have occasionally regretted the
m~onstrosities of street advertisements.
Every vacant wall or boarding which Ia
accessible to the bill sticker blazes with
pictures which do not precisely educate
the public taste, and are rather a serious
addition to the minor evils of life. Well
meant efforts have been made to improve
these posters. The late Mr.. Frederick
Walker designed one for 1.-The Woman
In White 10 was OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
but far from an addition to the amenity
Of q blank wall.
Mr.. Herkomer, il we are mot mistaken,
has tried his hand. and a well known
picture Of q little boy blowing soap bub-
bles, by Sir John Millais. Is sufficiently
familiar to the amateur. But the worst
of IL Ii that no such repeated airs, from
whatever hand. are agreeable, much less
the terrible man with the liver pad. COM
pared with whom the lady with improb-
ably long hair Is . gem. This is not the
end. The fields on each side Of the rail-
ways grow monstrous advertisements
an offense to the eyes Of travellers, and
surely no real inducement to purchase
the wares Of the culprits.
A society has been formed to deal with
these horrors. and the society protests
against '~'difidence and dependency"
This Is plucky at least, and 90 far de-
serves respect It isl monstrous anon
ally to spend public money on the Inn
provement of public taste, and then to
permit that taste to be debauched by
'sky signs" advertisements in green
fields, posters daring on every vacant
space.-London Saturday Review.

Sioux City Journal, %: AS a matter
of fact, railroad fare is only a small item
in the aggregate bill of expense for
visiting the worlds fair. Nevertheless
it is one of the most important consider
atoms so far as the general public is
concerned. There is a mysterious faci.
nation on riding on a very low fare.
Perhaps the stored resentment against
railroad corporations finds expression In
this way. Certain it ls, however, that
the effort of the railroad companies to
maintain high rates has failed. The
crowds refuse to move. There is nc
lse for the extra equipment which the
companies have provided. They arr
finding out that their own interest re
quires reductions.

Referring to the recent numerous
bank failures, United States Treasurer
Nebeker remarks: "They furnish a
strong indication that the people OF the
country do not have as much confidence
in banks as they did. In Indiana, and
/ think all over the country, banks are
making as few loans as possible and try
ing TO collect all they can Confidence
is what the bankers want to-day. They
cannot keep millions OF dollars locked
up in their vaults. IL a bank has ST.
100000 on hand it Is better TO loan
$4,000 or 66ss per cent than to keep
all of it locked up. AS much money as
possible should be kept in circulation"

prominent farmers marketed a hog o..e
day last week that will show that hogs
will grow in South Dakota. It's weight
was 620 pounds, bringing 1918 per

hope the farmers will see by this that a
little of their valuable time spent in the
hog business will pay them better than
combining themselves entirely to the
raising Of wheat and other small grain.

ANOTHER WAR SHIP.
The Launching of the Indiana a Success
full Affair.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 28.-The great
battle ship, Indiana, was successfully
launched at the ship yard of Williarc
Camp, Sons & Co. this afternoon in the
presence of thousands of people, among
them the president of the United States,
secretary of the navy and other members
of the cabinet and quite large delega-
ton of congressman and others who ar
rived from Washington this morning on
a special train.
Rain and hail were falling in torrents
and the weather could not have been
more disagreeable. An awning over one
of the platforms, however, afforded pro-
lection from the elements. The guests
stood on the platform for three-quarters
of an hour while workmen knocked away
and sawed support from under the battle
ship.
Hydraulic jacks were in readiness at
the bow for use should the ship stick, but
these were not needed, and at 12:45 p. m /,
the vessel glided slowly down the ways.
She settled beautifully in the water
and reached the middle of the stream
before the anchors were cast. In short
time she was moved to the wharves where
are also the partially completed cruisers
New York and Columbia. Miss Jessie
Miller, the 12 year. old daughter of Attor-
ney General Miller, gracefully performed
the act of christening.
The inclement weather did not mate
rally reduce the size of the crowd, for
it numbered fully 10000 people. Many
were without umbrellars for protection
of any kind. After the launch the pres
idential party were escorted to the office
of the company where an informal ban
quet was given.
President Harrison did not make any
address nor did any other person pres
ent. At 2 o'clock the presidential party
boarded the special train and started on
the return journey to Washington.

Mr.. S. M. Spedon was we'll attended, and
the distinguished gentleman was re-

His inimitable chalk sketches, for which
he is so justly famed, kept his audience
in a state o admiring expectancy
throughout the entire evening, free hand

features of the entertainment. OF these
the gradual development of an infant
through all the various stages of child
hood and youth into bearded and aged
man was one of the feats of piece of

which elected much applause.

audience were drawn by the lecturer
quicker than thought, and the interest
from beginning to end never tagged.
Altogether the lecture was a success in
the broadest sense and one which was
generally appreciated.
