sylvanis and New Jersey railroads.
The coal is merely splashed with
whitewash after it has been loaded

AMBITION.

The man whose ambition rises no
higher than to gain riches or attain
dizzy heights in worldly affairs is OH
the wrong road to happiness, and is
likely to reach the end with heavy
load of sad regrets. No man can be
blamed fer cherish;ng ambitious
thoughts, but they are TOO often Of
the wrong kind, and unless he
changes them to something upon
which his soul can feed he will be as
far from earthly happiness at the
end of his :hree score years ar ten
as he was when he first began his
ambitious Journey. He must live to-
make others happy or else he will
never know wherein LIES purest
joys rest. Somebody has said that
am bition is d curse; well, pei haps it
is, and doubtless there are many
whose epitaphs should read: "He
died as he had lived, a slave to
worldly ambition" but when mans
heart Joins hands with his soul and
tries to fill his home with the rich
radiance of love. bringing happiness,
and contort, JOY ard peace, Sunshine
and gladnesS TO those over whom nc
watches, and doing all the good he
can to others, then the poet and
philosopher must step aside with
their bold asset tions and let the re-
suits of heaven born ambition speak
for itself. 1t proclaims life suc>
cess and the goal Of happiness reach
ed. That ambition which spurs a
man onward il. his noble efforts to
obtain pleasant home, and to make
others happy, IS the kind that should
receive the encouragement of men
and the applause of angels.

Georgia has no reformatory for chill

near Baltimore, went to his stable

the stable, when she fell over on the
ground, and after a time, to all ap-
pearances, breathei her last. He
hauled her body away to remote
part of the farm, and pilirg some
brush over it, left it to the disposal
of nature. Five days after he was
surprised to see horse grazing III

the strange animal got into his field,
and was almost paralyzed to see that
it was his faithful old Bess that he
had cast out for the crows. Sac was
rather worse for her experience, but
lacked good deal Of being dead.
He approached her, and she evident.

quietly to be led by the torelock to
the barn. The farmer called his
wife to identify the horse, which she
did, and then hurried off to the
place where he had deposited the
supposed corpse, to make sure he
was not deceived. He found, the
brush, with which he had covered
her., scattered about, but the body

A RECENT attempt at train-rob-
berry in Missouri was balied by the
bandits being betrayed to the police.
Among those who joined the gang
for the purpose of giving them
away" was newspaper reporter
This opens up new possibilities. The
efforts of newspaper reporters to
disguise" themselves as tramps,
beggars, book agents, bichloridians,
lunatics, and so on, are familiar to
the reading public. But these at
tempts, meritorious as they are in
the city editors eyes, serve no high
and useful purpose. This latest eff
fort, however, has practical sound.
1t is not only worthy of imitation,
but it gives the reporter a reason for
existence. The most profound and
optimistic students of sociology have
hitherto been tempted to despair
when contemplating the newspaper
reporter. Now he can be classified
somewhere between the stool pigeon
and the detective.

Edmund Burke.
Edmund Burke was born at Byron,
Ogle County, H., Sept. %, lS+7 e
came to Chicago in August, 1871, and
was admitted to the bar of Illinois
Sept. 2, 1871, and at once commenced
the practice of law He has been a
member OF the following law firms:
Brown & Burke and Burke, Hollett
& Tinsman.
Mr.. Burke mas been engaged in the
trial of number of important cases.
lie has not confined himself to any
one branch OF the law, but is good
all-round lawyer His practice has
been mainly in common law and
chancery cases. He graduated in the
classical course at the Northwestern
University in 1868, and taught Latin
and Greek at that University for sew
eral terms. He was principal of Mt
Morris Seminary for one wear. Re-
fore his admission to the bar he took
the law course at Ann Arbor. Mich
Mr.. Burke has been a successful
practitioner at the bar and has good
paying law business.
Mr.. Burke married Miss Myra Web
ster, of Rockford, ILL.,, December,
1878, and has two children-Harold
Webster Burke and Ralph Henry
Burke.
Mr.. Burke was the Republican
nominee for one of the judges of the
Circuit Court in November, 1892; but
although the Democratic party car
ried everything before it, Mr.. Burke
came out second on the list of Re-
publican judicial candidates. He
has been nominated by the Republi-
can convention as candidate for
Circuit Judge, to succeed Judge Col
Inns, resigned. The Democratic Con-
vention having nominated Mr.. Will
lam Prentiss for this position, it is
Mr.. Burke or Mr.. Prentiss who will
be chosen to succeed Judge Collins,
who was one of our ablest judges,
but resigned to reap a richer harvest
at the bar than he could on the bench.
Judge Collins evidently believes
when in health and strength in pro-
viding for the possibilities of sickness
and the certainty of the infirmities
of old age, should life be prolonged.
We shall see if his successor will be
as wise in few years as he has been,
and leave the bench for the same
reason.
This concludes the brief sketches
of the twenty members of the Chi
cago Bar, Democratic and Republic
can alike, who are now striving for
judicial hOnors, and all hope in few
weeks that they may be dispensing
justice from the Bench to the people
Of Cook County. No matter what
the religion or politics of these gen.
tlemen, they are now like the Pres
byterian divine asking, "Am | num-
bered among the elect?"
