THE BOwLDER WAS ALIVE,

From the New York Sun.
Talking of Indians and their strata
gems, said ID. A. Marston, lately of the
United States cavalry, they are past
masters in the arts of s1ulking and de-
ceiving. An Apache will lie behind a
soapweed on the open prairie. and you
may ride past two or three hundred
yards away and never have an idea
that there is a redskin within fiftv
miles of you, unless he decides to risk
a shot at you. As you pass the soap
weed he works his body around SO as
to keep it always in line with the plant
and you. Even on the open prairie,
with no more shelter than that afforded
by some little inequality of surface,
he will sift dust over his body, fatten
himself out, face downward. against
the ground, and, lying as notionless
as a stone, viii escape the observation
OF any except sharp and practiced eyes
Sometimes, in a grove of cactus or
Spanish bayonet, his buckskin gar
ments blending with the hues Of the
plants, his face and neck concealed by
the head of a Spanish bayonet, he will
stand like post, indistinguisbab bic TO

KANSAS LABORING MEN.

So far as our observation goes the
average Kansan is Il laboring man.
There are few exceptions to the rule
Her reputed capitals, for the most
part, are but the representative of the
actual owners of the money who live in
other states. But the Kansas labor
ing man. to which we now particular
allude, is he who has identified himself
with the state federation. The order
held a meeting at Topeka on Monday
for the purpose of considering some
measures and farther legislation de-
sired. This federation was largely re-
sponsible for the passage of the present
eight-hour law which has proved sat
isfactory to neither the federation or
to the people. The order claims that
there are too many loop-holeS in it, and
cities and corporations and employers
think it unjust and unnecessarily en-
barrasSing to both employer and en-
ploye.
Another thing that the federation
will ask at the hands of the legislature

binding contract because he is minor,
the result being in many instances that
when the boy has but half learned his
trade and is becoming of some advant-
age to those who have taught him, he
throws up on his agreement and quits
his job.
The federation will also attempt
reorganization of the state labor bu
reau and it's methods. The represent
atives of the order do not view with
any degree of kindness the ways,

For the Eagle.
A REVERE,

Another year has sped, on soft and noise
less wing
Into the mystic regions, of the boundless
past.
Full fraught with joy, each day and hour,
to some
And love and gladness which they
dream will last.
To others, come but grief and care and ills
No tender love songs in their hearts. they
sing
But spent with woe, their pale lips sadly
moan
Thank God; the year is gone"
Some hasten forth to greet a glad New
Year
All flushed with hope, with eager, smil-
ing eyes,
They linger at the portal, of the great be-
yond
And build their frail. light, castles to
the skies.
Others, with sorrow bowed, approach
with timid mien
And pause with faltering steps and trem-
bling fear
No roseate future to their tear dimed Wis
ions come,
Despairingly they're wailing for its dawn.
Dear Father: kindly deign to smile on all,
In love and mercy, shield the gay and
glad,
And Oh, pray, let gracious blessings fall
Upon the world worn toiler and the sad.

Just why the price of wheat remains
so low, when this country produced a
very short crop last year is a question
that is OCCUPYING the attention of those
Interested in that commodity. The
present great bear factor is that state
ment that the visible supply approx
mates 100000 bushels. But the fact
that the present facilities for getting
at the exact supply is far superior to
that Of the past is not taken into ac-
count In a country with 10000. 900
people comprising forty-four states
nearly all of which produce some
wheat, a large amount of which must
of necessity remain in the hands of the
producer to guard against crop fail
ure, and for local consumption and it is
safe to say that what is considered a
large visible supply is simply the ordi-
nary amount that has to be carried
over

SPIRIT oFTHE TWENTIETH CENTURY

Some of the very brightest minds in
the United States are turning all their
efforts to writing advertisements.
There is reason for this and the rea-
son is that the writing of advertise
ments is well paid for. The poet and
the prose writer has no pecuniary re-
ward to compare with the advertise
ment writer.
Five years ago it was bought that the
advertising spirit had reached its
highest point, but the thought was a
mistaken one. 1t has been growing
steadily and is today pushing forward
with vigor that has no precedent.
The demand for advertising by the
reading public is something peculiar.
A newspaper without advertisements
would not be satisfactory to the public
The monthly magazines publish page
after page of advertisements and these
are read by the subscribers with justas
much interest as the story or the de-
scriptive article in the magazine prop
er. The advertising patronage of the
newspaper Is constantly increasing,
and with that increase comes a unique
contest in quality, novelty and ar
rangement
The regular reader of q newspaper
has consequently come to be regular
reader of advertisements. He COM
pares the various efforts of the adver-
tisers to catch his eye and keep his at
tention. He studies the artistic de
signs and catch-words and original
and startling lines.
He can tell you the name of every
popular soap, every popular baking
powder. every popular medicine, every
popular cosmetic, not because he finds
great enjoyment in reading about
soaps and baking powders, but because
the advertisements of these wares are
unique and entertaining in themselves.
and he Will always turn TO them and
read them over with the inevitable re-
suit that the name OF the ware and the
place Of its manufacture ana eale~are
fixed forever in his mind
The same is true Of the local adver-
tisers' forts The reader OF q daily
paper watches the contest between the
various merchants. He sees daily
what they have to offer even if he does
not buy. He reads for personal enjoy
ment but while he is reading he fixes
on his mind unconsciously the names
of the men who advertise. When the
time for purchasing comes, he goes 20
the man whose name has been most
firmy fixed in his mind. He regards
that merchant as an acquaintance. al
though he may have pYer seen him.
But he has followed his advertisements
and through these advertisements has

DEAD HEADS HIT.

| It is said that majority of the west
ern lines of railway have cut Off all
mere complimentary passes to politi-
clans and to other classes, as also for
the greater part those issued TO ship
pers If this is true. and we have no
reason to doubt it, there will be mourn
ing on the part of the landlords at such
points as state capitals, and marked
reduction in the dividends Of the Pull
man Palace Car company Three
fourths of the visiting statesmen,
found almost every day in the year in
greater or less numbers around the cor
ridors of the hotels, well, of Topeka,
for instance, wouldn't be there if COM
PEELED to pay their railroad fare The
legislative body will hardly be able to
muster quorum except on important
occasions. AS for the Pullman Palace
Car company it is stated by those who
have had opportunities for asceraining
the fact, that from fifty to sixty per
cent of all the passengers found on
Pullman sIeepers carry railway passes.
If they are now compelled to pay their
railway fare they will either not go to
the extra expense of taking daylight
rides On Pullmans. or otherwise they
will remain at home. In either event
the revenue Of the Pullman corpora
ton will suffer.
The pass business, first instituted as
a courtesy to officials, and deserving in
dividuals, of late years has grown into
a monstrous abuse, until politicians of
every conceivable degree, together
with their pets and friends, families
and the friends of families Of railway
officials, officers Of every grade and
character including federal, state and
municipal were demanding passes.
Stockholders have protested in vain
and arrangements have worried and
threatened all to 10 purpose. But the
exegencies of hard ines out of which
have come enforced recieverships have
furnished he opportunity in which to
cut off the abuse.

willingly let die" Most men of genius
have an inward sense of their own
power, in whatever sense they may
have power. Their castle-building is
of quite different order from the fool
ish dreams of idlers, who seek only
vainglory. Let no one think because q
child is dreamy and moody that he is
therefore serious-minded. The most
useful and serious-minded people some
times take life lightly. Dreaminess is
most often the result of Incidence and
sometimes of moroseness and down

also of a sensitive temperament that
shrinks from contract with the world.

WOODEN BOOKS.
From the Baltimore Sun.

IL u retired sIrees Oh easel stands An
old-fashioned roomy house. the depos-
tory of the Natural History Museum
of Hessen. The most unique and inter
esting of the various collections is the
so-called "Holzbibliothek," or library
of wood, consisting eof SAG volumes in
folio, octave and duodecimo. made from
trees growing in Wilhelmshoehe park,
and representing 100 genera and AL
species. On the back of each volume
is a red morocco shield bearing the
common and scientific name of the
tree, the class and species to which it
belongs according to Linneus, speci-
mems of the moss and lichen peculiar
to it, a bit of the rind or bark, and. if
it is resinous, a drop or two of the resin.
The upper edge shows the young
wood cut crosswise to exhibit the rings
and pith, while the outer edge is of old
wood, cut in the same manner, to Illus
trate the changes which take place in
the texture as the tree gains in age
and size. The top cover is of unripe
wood, in the rough: the under cover il
planned smooth; the front edge shows
polished grain and also the fungi to
which the tree is liable when in the
stages of decay or disease. Attached
to the front edge is cubic inch of ma
ture wood, on which is noted its spe-
cific weight when the sap is flowing in
the early spring. again in midsummer,
and still again when thoroughly dry.
Under this is given the degree OF
heat, Reaumur and Fahrenheit, obtain.
able from cubic inch of dry wood in
a cubic foot of space, that given out
by the same quantity when it becomes
. glowing coal, its diminished size
and weight when charred, and the
properties of the tree, together with q
description Of the soil in which it four
ishes best. The interior of the book,
Or box, contains a complete history Of
the tree, especially of the organs Of
nourishment and qualification. There
are capsules with seeds, the germ-bud
with rootlets and first leaves, branch
with leaves in various stages of develop
ment, the flower from the bud to a tiny
blossom, the fruit from the embryo to
its full maturity, and last of all, a skele-
tonized leaf.
The author of this really marvellous
work was Carl Schiedbach, of whom
little is known save that he was Hes
sian born, was manager of the men,
agerie at Cassel from 1771 to 1855, was
bailiff of the domain of Weissenbaden,
now WilhelmshOehe, in 1875, and died
in 1916, leaving widow, but no chill
dren.
The library remained in Schiedbach's
possession until 1899, when it passed
into the hands Of Landgrave William
TX, of Hesse, for the consideration of a
life annuity of about 1000 marks.
Fuseli. in his art Lexicon" says:
SAT first Carl Schied bach fed tame and
wild beasts in Cassel, but afterwards
turning his attention to science he
raised himself IL short time, by
means of talent and enormous dill.
gence, to the position of one of the
greatest scientist in Germany. Button
him and tried to induce
him to go to France, but in vain. He
was a mechanical genius, and though
he never had a lesson in drawing or
painting, he was connoisseur of art"

CASTLES IN THE AIR.

From the New York Tribune.
There Is no habit OF youth more en-
ticing. and yet more dangerous to
practical effort, than the habit of
castle-building. Like real castles, per-
haps the Inheritance of an impover-
ished heir, they must be kept up. Fully
half the folly and suffering of poor
human nature may be traced to the
failure to take practical idea of life,
to vain reaching out for an imaginary
state of things.
The woman who lives within the
limits of her own circumstances and
purse, content to lift herself by degrees
to the higher things to which she
aspires, and to which every one ought
to aspire, is far more likely to be sue
cessful than she who dreams forever Of
a higher sphere and despises the hum
BILE surroundings that are hers.
Happy and beautiful these castles in
Spain, but they cost vast deal to
keep up" To them must be sacrificed
the JOY of the genuine, the fruition of
full success 1t is true that some
genuises have been moody, dreamy
people, but it is equally true that only
small proportion of moody, dreamy
people have been geniuses- The vast
mass of people must be up and doing,
must be alert and in full sympathy
with the human life around them, If
they would win success There is a
great difference among people as to
the meaning of this word. success To
ha %r1a
specializing without heart or scruple,
and winning, is the highest embodi-
ment of success. To the strict moral
ist he may be an example only of sue
cessful crime, a name chiefly To point
a moral or adorn a tale" Wise
people viii probably most generally
agree, however, that the man who has
been most usefuH TO his kind is the
greatest success. rather than he who
has pursued his own selfish aims
There IS certain amount Of failure IN
all seiishness The selfish life fails TO-
accomplish the end OF It's desires. which
is contentment. The selfish fnaDcier
is forever reaching out for larger gains,
for the more ne has. the more inordi-
nate become his desires The selfish
public man IS never coutented with the
honors he has gained
The great danger in castle building
lies in the fact that the flights Of the
imagination. especially in young peo-
pie. weaken the energies Tor practical
work. In so far as castle-building may
be useful. so far as the scheme dreamt
out can be put into practical use, does
it become legitimate Many an able
man has thought out schemes for the
help of mankind. which IN another
would have been the vaguest castle
building. but he had that assurance
