TIE COUNTRY roy First.

A writer in the New York Evening
/ Post calls attention to the. fact that
4 while Paris is the great center ol
thought and intellectual activity in
France, il not in Europe, it did not give
birth to the famous men within its en-
vironment In the political fold it says
scarcely one Of the distinguished men
OF the time is Paris born. The presi-
Il dent Of the republic is not, nor is the
president Of the senate or OF the cham
Der; not one Of the ten cabinet minis
ters, neither Of the chief Justices nor Of
the attorney generals of the higher
courts reckons Paris as his birthplace
nor does the governor OF the bank OF
France. Somewhat similar results are
obtained by scanning the lists of dis
tinguished scholars, artists, journalists,
soldiers. From the provinces have
come disproportionate majority Of the
men whose success in life makes Paris
famous.
The same is true Of the other great
capitals of the world. The foremost
men in America, almost without excep-
tion, have been country boys, and a
majority Of them have spent their lives
on the farms or in small towns. The
cities like New York, Boston and Phila-
delphia have turned out some fine
native born scholars, scientists and the
ologians, but the men Of action, who
have broken over the traditions Of the
schools and the established usages,
have come from rural homes. All the
great figures in our political history,
such as Andrew jackson, Henry Clay
and Abraham Lincoln; our greatest
soldiers, Grant, Sherman and Sheridan,
have come from the farm or the country
village.
Take the men Of affairs Of to-day.
Grover Cleveland was born in q rural
village in New jersey and lived up
towards manhood In small towns. or
the members Of his cabinet, Gen.
Gresham always lived in small In
diana town; Carlisle, the country school
master, in an insignificant Kentucky
city; Lamont grew to mans estate in a
peaceful New York village; Herbert
climbed to fame in small Alabama
town, and SO on. There is not city
born and bred man in the lot.
At first thought 1t seems strange that |
with their magnificent equipments in
the way OF schools and colleges and |
libraries, and other means of culture,
Dur cities should not be the birthplace
Of our greatest men, but there is some
thing in them that dwarfs the aspira-
tions and prospects Of our boys. AS in
the heart Of the densest forests the
trees do not attain their greatest size
and are spindling and sickly, 80 in our
provided cities the boys seem too much
restricted in their growth to attain their
full physical and mental stature. The
young fellows who get their start in the
country and remove to the cities in
early manhood outstrip the city boys
and rise to the front rank among men
Of affairs. i
Let the boys who are on the farm or
In the little hamlets of the land. and are
filed with ambition to be great and
famous. be patient. Let them tarry at
home until they are out of knickerbock-
ers and have completed their schooling.
Then, if the city still draws them like a
magnet, let them assault it's ramparts
when they can go forth fully armed and
equipped for the conquest.

The business revival and the under.
taking OF new enterprises will devolve
much work upon our commercial bodies

CHICAGO. May 3l-Never before has
Memorial Day been SO generally cele-
brated in this city. Business was gem
orally suspended, public schools were
closed, and from an early hour the
street cars and other methods of loco
motion leading to the different
cemeteries were crowded with
people burdened with Howers to
lay upon the graves of their
beloved dead. During the morning the
soldiers graves in the various ceme-
teries were decorated by the differnt
posts of the G.. A. R., the flowers for
this purpose having been contributed by
the children of the public schools. In
the afternoon the members of the order
participated in the laying of the corner
stone of Memorial hall in the new
Library building now being erected in
Dearborn park, the exercises being
directly under the control of the Grand
Army. This was followed by the
largest parade of veterans ever seen in
Chicago.

guests the ropes were thrown aside and
the public admitted. The invited
guests were then taken in coaches to
