Owes All To The Press.

Mr.. lockwood, the well known
photographer of New York, on
being congratulated on the position
he occupies among his fellow. crafts
men, stated with a great deal Of
earnestness: II owe it all to the
press, or rather to my connection
with the press. The two years
that I spent in the old Troy Times
as Office boy, police reporter, mar
ket reporter, proof-reader, compos-
itor, local editor etc, gave me a
more practical education than all
other schooling (Which true enough
was limited) that / received in my
whole life. think a printing office
gives man a thirst for knowledge.
There is such variety of subjects
to be considered fresh every m orn-

might term a momentum which
carries one on through lite with
the most intense desire to know a
little Of everything. So one start.
ing life in this way is very likely
to be a many-sided man."

Galveston News: Blear-eyed
politicians of the state have jump
ed on capitalists and chased or kept
out investment in order to satisfy
the cupidity and prejudices OF
their dupes. II there Is any other
cause or hindrance name 1t. No.
body has been able to name it so
far. Hoggism began 1t and is still
at it. 1t goes without saying that
the Hoggism of Mr.. Culberson is
no better than any other variety.
In fact, ii bids fair in some mat.
tiers to hurt the state in future as
much as it has in the past. Can
the people of Texas afford to have
their prospects and chances dis.
counted and their business crippled
In order to glorify and fatten a
score Of ambitious and lusty young
politicians, or will they unite In a
liberal invitation to millmen and
to other investors of capital to
bring their advantage into Texas
with every assurance of an honest
welcome and fair treatment?

old offender. He had been arrested

and crooks and alibis Of the court
house to go forth to assault other

similar instances in which fiends

Why Our Industries I.anguish.

Comptroller ]. II. Ecke in the March Forum.
In the midst Of great plenty the
American people to-day feel poor.
With no tariff agitation going on
and the manufacturer in possession
Of a complete knowledge of the
basis upon which we must operate,
industry languishes and the labor
er in many places is without en-
ployment. In every financial in
stitution there is an abundance Of
money or the representative of
money seeking investments, and
yet few investments are made or de-
sired. Upon the one side credit is
little sought, and upon the other
reluctantly given. A stagnation
long continued is yet upon us and
will remain until our own people
impart activity to trade, and other
peoples who are dealing with an
extending credit to us feel conf
dence that they can do 50 with
perfect safety. Unquestionably for
some years many of our business
methods have been of such a char
acter as to lessen confidence in the
management of many of our great
enterprises. This is especially true
in the over capitalization and the
fraudulent manipulation of railroad
and kindred corporations; but the
effect Of this has long been antici
pated and is not now so much the
original source of harm. 1t would
be foolish to undertake to conceal
that the source of our difficulty lies
in the fear, which happily has not
reached the point of belief, that
the United States cannot in the
face of existing laws maintain the
gold standard as its unit Of value.
The faintest suspicion that it will
not now or in the future meet its
obligations in conformity with that
fine sense of financial integrity
which has heretofore been observed
gives the business world such a
shock that we witness on every
hand a cessation of new under
takings and constant query as to
our future. There is no relief for
this situation in the great individ
ual wealth of our individual citizens,
nor in their individual desire to
maintain their credit. Those abroad
who deal with us take their esti-
mate of our individual financial in
tegrity from the integrity of our
government. They do not rank
the individual Americans honesty
higher than its government hon.
esty, and they will not believe him
willing to pay his contracts in gold
ifhis government substitutes there
for a discredited metal, giving in
real value but a portion of the val,
tie which it purports to carry and
balance in governmental fat.

Guard Their Young

by a school of tiny fish that seemed to
move in remarkable union. Watching
for long time he discovered that the

stray they were driven back into the
school by a large fish on one side or

noted the movements Of several small
schools for two hours, and vows that
the little creatures were tended like q

The Two Eternal Types in Fiction.

Hamilton W. Mable, in the March Forum.
The novel of romance and adven-
ture has long had a history, and
the elements of which it is COM
pounded are recognizable long be-
fore they took the form of fiction.
Two figures appear and reappear
in the myth ology of every poetic
people: the hero and the wanderer
the man who achieves, the man who
experiences; the man who masters
life by superiority of soul or body,
the man who masters it by COM
pleteness of knowledge 1t is in
teresting and pathetic to find how
universally these two figures held
the attention and stirred the hearts
of primitive men; how infinitely
varied are their tasks. their perilS.
and their vicissitudes. They wear
so many guises, they bear so many
names, they travel so far and COM
pass so much experience that it is
impossible, in any Interpretation of
mythology. to escape the convic-
ton that they were the dominant
types i'll the thought Of the myth
makers. And these earliest story
makers were not idle dreamers, en-
tertainiug themselves by endless
manufacture ofimaginary incidents,
conditions and persons. They were
on the contrary, the observers, the
students, the scientists of their pc
Rod; their endeavor was not to Gre
ate a fiction but to axplain the world
and themselves. Their observa-
ton was imperfect and they made
ludicrous mistakes of fact because
they lacked both knowledge and
training; but they made free use of
creative faculty, and there is, con-
sequently, good deal more truth
in their daring guesses than in
many Of those provisional explana-
tons of nature and ourselves which
have been based too exclusively on
scrutiny of the obvious fact and
indifference to the fact which is not
less a fact because it is elusive.

In closing his ground the truf1er is
guided by the time of year, the charac-
ter of the soil and his own judgment
and experience, says London journal.
On familiar beats he knows exactly
where to go, and in a strange country is
guided by certain general principles.
Where fern and braoken grow, where
furze is plentiful, where there are reeds
and rushes, wherever the land is moist
and sour, it is hopeless to expect truf-
fes. They love light soil and yet
never attain any size or perfection on a
poor one. By far the greatest quanTl1,

green oak. In France the oak is their
fayorite tree. Early in the season-that

An English lady, travelling in New
Zealand, wakes enthusiastic over the
beauties of the country, especially in its
mountainous parts. She tells funny
little story about the sharp witted driver
of the public coach in which she made
some of her expeditions.
At one point, where the steep road
overhangs the river, Davis. the driver,
always took the opportunity to tighten
the load for his horses
"Gentlemen," he would say in an
insinuating tone, "the Prince of Wales
always gets out and walks here.

ally found his fares" quite ready to
follow in the footsteps of SO distin-

man, who had already heard the speech
more than once, stole march upon the
willy Davis. The ground was wet, and
the passenger was not in a mood for
climbing, so as they approached the
spot he anticipated the drivers hint by
remarking:
