A Noble Example.

The late George W. Childs, of Phila-
delphia, n newspaper and business man
Of whom the whole world is jnstly proud,
writes in his autobiography the follow
ing sturdy, sensible words concerning
business integrity: 'IfI have been sue
cessful, l owe it to industry, temperance
aud frugality. have always believed
that it is possible to unite success in
business with strict moral integrity. !
am aware that many people think that
the ethics of business or of politics are
gute distinct, and that O man may do
things in his public employment which
he will not think it right to do in his
domestic or private life. do not agree
with this view, and if the record of my
life has any value, it is in showing that
at least it is not necessary, to success in
business, that man should indulge in
sharp practice, But If it were necessary,
still it would not follow that it is worth
while, We can not afford to do or say
a mean thing. There are higher salts
factions than the mere getting Of money,
and riches can not compensate a man for
the consciousness Of having lived dis
honorable or selfish life" This testi-
mony coming from man who started III
life as an errand boy i'll Il book store, and
through industry, temperance and fru
gality became wealthy, honorable and
influential, should have some weight
with thoughtful mel in leading them to
follow his example.

LOCUSTs FOR FISH BAIT.

AT one point above a dam, there was
a mill race, with gate at the head Of
the race. When the mill was running,
this gate was open, and the water rush

half mile below. Many fine string of
bass had caught below this gate. but

We arc glad to be able to announce
that the National Society For the En-

Buokinghamshire Wereeently gave the
welcome intelligence that o bill had
been passed in the state of New York
providing for the establishment i'll that
state Of an industrial colony for epilop-
tics. The passing Of this measure is, We
believe, mainly due to DIR. Peterson s
strenuous and able advocacy of the
cause, and we heartily congratulate him
on the success which crowns his labors,
In considering the American and the
English schemes one cannot fail to be
impressed by the contrast between our
own methods and those prevailing on
the other side of the Atlantic. Here we
incline to institutions promoted by pri-
vate effort. But in America the tendency
is toward institutions originating under
the auspices of public authority. Our
national society will open its colony
with 1856 acres Of land and about a score
Of patients.
The Importance Of ,cengeniai occupa-
tion as a therapeutic agent in the case Of
epileptics is now generally admitted,
and it is we'll known that under ordi-
nary conditions the lot Of the epileptic
is one Of enforced idleness, detrimental
to the interests of himself and his
friends. Except by the establishment
and adequate Developments Of the colony
this evil is not likely to be mitigated. ---

Optical ExaggeratiOn.

Mr.. Owen Wister, writing of his expe-
rience with 1.-The White Goat and His
Country" mentions circumstance which
will perhaps recall to naturalists and hunt
ers some miscalculations of their own. He
had travelled across the continent in the
hope of killing white goats, and of course
be had white goats in his eye.

and saw 1900" goats on the mountain
opposite where we had climbed. just here
will risk generalization. When trap
per tells you he has seen so many hundred
head of game, he has not counted them,
but he believes what he says.
The goats that T and now looked
at were mile away in an air line, and
they seemed numberless. The picture
which the white, slightly moving dots
made, like mites on cheese, inclined one
to a large estimate of them, since they
covered the whole side of hill.
The more we looked, the more we found.
Besides the main army there were groups,
caucuses, families sitting apart over some
discourse too intimate for the general pub
lie, and beyond these we could discern sim
gle animals, moving, gazing, browsing,
lying down.
"There's 100, 900 goats!" said T.
"Let's count 'em," suggested, and we
took the glasses. There were 35.-Youth's

A Postponement.

Near the old courthouse in Poughkeepsie
there stood years ago tavern kept by
Mr.. Hatch 1t was no uncommon thing to
see ''the court" jury, counsel, sheriff, con-
stables, prisoners and all adjourned to Mr..
Hatch's bar for drinks. On one of these
social occasions the prisoner, a horse thief,
slipped away from his constables. When
the judge resumed his seat, the fact was
made known to him. At first he said moth
ing, but appeared to be in deep thought.
Finally he arose, and with more than his
usual gravity delivered himself as follows:
GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY-I am told that the
prisoner has informally taken leave Of the
court and gone, the sheriff knows not whittier.
This gives the case before you a more per-
picked phase, as the statutes distinctly pro-
vide that the prisoner shall at no time during
trial, sentence or punishment absent himself
from the officers of tho law. Therefore it only
remains for me to say that further prosecu-
ton in this case must be postponed until the
return of tho ID scoundrel who has thus in
formally triAed with the dignity of the court
and the people of the state Of New York.

A Standard Rearep.

In the crusade inaugurated nearly half
century ago against the professional
ignorance of the old school of medicine,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitter was standard
bearer. Its victories over disease, when
the old time specifics proved abject
failures, proved that the pseudo -philoso-
ply which sanctioned the administration
of violent remedies where the case re-
quired none, which laid down as un-
alterable rules blood letting, violent pur-
cation, the use of emetics and the employ
ment of corrosive and cumulative poisons
in simple cases of liver and malarial
complaint, was in fact the worst of un-
philosophy, contrary alike to the laws of
true medicinal science, of hygiene and of
common sense. Biliousness, constipation
and chills and fever, as now treated by
the Bitters, promptly yield where before
they obstinately resisted old fashioned
medication. So do dyspepsia, rheu-
matism and kidney complaint--all surely
conquerable by this safe and really philo-
sophie remedy.

AT THE GATEWAY OF THE NATIONAL PARK.

Santa Fe, the city of the Holy Faith of
st. Francis, is situated on the site of an
ancient Indian Pueblo called O-ga- p-ho-ge.
1t is probably tlo Oldest civilized COM
lnunity in the United States and the most
ancient of American capitals. The Spanish
town was founded in 1905. Authorities
disagree as to whether this city or San Au-
gustin, Fla, were first founded. Santa
Fe was first visited by American traders
in 1904, and from that time dated a
wonderful era of prosperity. The thrill
ing incidents of the old Santa Fe trail,
starting from Wsstport, Mo-, gave it a
world wide fame.
THE WORLDS ONLY sANlTAR1UH.
Prof. Mark Harrington, chief of the q.
8. weather bureau, says: "Santa Fe is in
the driest habitable part of the United
States. This region is extensive, and
changes in form from season to season,
but Santa Fe is always in it,"
1t is situated in charming nook of the
Santa Fe range, and its climate is domi
mated by the influence of mountain peaks
that tower nearly $4,000 feet high To-
gether with this it lies at an altitude of
7,0l5 feet, and latitude, about the Seth
degree north, that gives it peculiar ad-
vantage as sanitarium. The elevation
sempers the summer heats, which natural
ly should be about that of Menu his,
Tenn, or Bakersfield CAL and tia south-
sen situation reduces the rigors of winter.
As an illustration, during the winter of
1892, the daily public concerts in the
plaza were only stopped three times by
Weather, and last winter the omissions did
aot exceed half a dozen.
The altitude compels the lungs to work,
and no one in Santa Fe can be accused of
being "too lazy to BREATHE" as great
physician expressed it. The rare, ozon-
ated air permeates every cell of the lungs,
and thus prevents hemorrhage. Drs.
Symington aud Harroun, who have prac-
ticed in Santa Fe for over twenty years,
report that they have only found two
'ases among the native people of con-
sumption.
NORMAL TEMPERATURE.
The U. s. weather observation Office
has been stationed here for twenty years,
md the following statistical data tells
better than words how even and mild is
the climate of Santa Fe. Taking the
summer heat and the winter cold the fol-
lowing tables show most equable and
delightful temperature:

NOT HIS FAULT.
The Conductor Put Off tho Wheel, but He
Didn't Care,

The Conductor Put on the Wheel, Dut he
Didn't Care.
When the conductor reached the baggage
compartment of the combination car in the
rear of the train, it was occupied only by a
few trunks, a brand new wheel and stocky
built, bullet headed young fellow with two
scars on his face, who wore knickerbock-
ers, a sweater and peaked cap.
The man with the scars gave up his
ticket, and the conductor said:
You'll have to pay for that Wheel
young feller-25 cents"
"T'ink will, hey?"
Eyes, you will, if you want it carried,
and pretty quick too"
"Well, l don't t'ink 1 will See? Yer
don't git no mon from me fer that mer-
chine"
"I'll have it fired off at the next station
then"
"Well, don't t'ink I will. Seer Yer
won't git no dough outer me. Seer"
"You won't pay up then"
"Nope Betcher sweet life I won't"
At the next stop the wheel was given in
charge of the station master, while the man
in knickerbockers looked on nonchalantly.
After awhile the conductor came back and
said:
s"You must be mighty pigheaded to let
your wheel go like that rather than pay
quarter"
''W'at would pay de dust for2 DE bisic-
kle amt mine"
''Isn't yours? Who in blazes does it be-
long to them"
ooh. some bloke inside smokin Pm JIM
my Knockerout, de pugilist, am. I've
been on er walk ter git in shape for me flte
next week. amt no measly bisickle rider,
amt"
"Why didn't you say so before, you young
fool?"
"'Cause you waz so sassy bout de tin
dat's why. Seer Nottin ter me wedder
yer give der mershine a knockout or not.
An lookit here, if yer call me dat agin, I'll
lump lone in de neck"
Ten minutes later the salesman to whom
the wheel be. onged was after the conductor
with blood in his eye, and before that Off
cial could make matters satisfactory it cost
him half dozen kilograms and profusion
of apologies for his hasty action. But they
said never word to the pugilist, and he
looked on and grinned.
