eating Him Back"
From the Atlanta Constitution.

In farming district in Louisiana can
didate once made very sensible talk to
some of his discontented constituents. He
told them that it was hard to draw the
line between the rich and the poor. 'You
call the Blanks rich people, he said, "but
they are simply well to do farmers. Over
wonder, in the river bottom they would
be regarded as men of very moderate
means. But the big planters of the bot
tom lands, even when they are out of debt,
are poor men by the side of the great mer-
chants, manufacturers aud general opera
tors in the cities. You think yourselves
poor, but there are men who look upon
you as people in easy circumstances You
are foolish to array the man with two
horses against the man who has only one. "
He then told the following story ''One
day farmer rode into a little country
town in a state adjoining Louisiana and got
into a talk with some friends at store
where he had gone to make some purchases
We'll, John, said one, how are you get
ting along? What, me ? Oh, tolerably
well-just the same, just like 1 always
do. And all the neighbors out your
way, how are they getting along? We'll,
they re just the same, too-just like am.
We never allow any difference out oul
way, you know. No? Well, how dc
you manage that Well whenever We
notice any fellow getting ahead, you know,
we just go to see him. and we stay with
him until we eat him back
There are many such communities.
When people see their neighbors getting
ahead, they swarm around them and ''eat
them back

Country Roads.
From the Philndolnhia Reoord

Opposition to improved road laws usually
comes from the farmers, who influence the
action of their special representatives in
the legislature. The farmers prefer to
maintain the old system of working out
road tax under which the roads of the
state are kept in condition of continuous
badness.
The farmer should put on their think
ing-caps. There is hardly one farmer in
a thousand who does not live in the i'm
mediate suburbs of his market town. to
whom the money value of good roads, over
which to haul the produce of his farm, is
not worth, in the course of year, ten
times as much as the additional amount of
road tax he would have to pay in cash for
proper maintenance and repair. Bad roads
cost They use up vehicles and teams
They use up time. They make it neces-
sary to go twice for one load They de
preciate the value of the real estate through
which they penetrate The farmer, of all
other men, has the largest interest in good
roads, and it is reflection upon his intelli-
gence that he is not able to see it.
The cheapening of transportation has
been one of the most active agencies of the
time in promoting the general comfort.
But the country roads lag disgracefully in
the rear of general improvement. They
are one of the most needless of our extrav-
agances.

The Workingmans Support of Inter
national Arbitration.
From thc centnrv nIagaalne.

From inc century AagdIlnc.
The action of trades unions on both
sides of the Atlantic is more than new
expression of an old demand 1t expresses
what is largely new demand. The in
terest of nearly all men engaged in indus
try has long been opposed to war. Capt.
tai is wasted at an appalling rate by the
modern method Of fighting, and this waste
reduces the wage-paying capacity of en-
ployers. War, as it were, sterilizes the
earth The workingman finds himself in
less fruitful environment, because Of the
reduction in the outfit of working appG-
ances that war occasions You cannot
beat the pruning hooks of the world into
swords and still gather as much wheat as.
before. Wealth-creating power shrinks
and wages fall by reason Of such wastes j.
Debts that have to be paid by indirect
taxation press disproportionately on work
ingmen. 1t is always laborers more than
others who have to face muskets; they are
the rank and file Of armies. Even if they
keep out of the field they suffer by inflated
prices. Goods are dear in time of war;
measured in commodities, wages in Amer
lea were at their lowest in 1865.

AN ICE QUEEN.
First White Woman to Cross the
Chilkat Pass

From the New York Commercial Advertiser
The first white woman who ever crossed
the perilous Chilkat Pass in Alaska, and
for three years has lived far north of the
most northerly of the new Alaskan gold
camps, sometimes for weeks with no other
white person near, arrived in San Fran
cisco a week or so ago. She used to live
in New York, by the way, although not
actually New Yorker. She is Mrs T.
N. Beaumont, the wife of the post trader
at Fort Yukon. She is a young woman,
a native of Belgium, and though she has
spent the greater part of her life in Europe
and in the big cities of this country, she
is quite in love with her life among the
Indians up on the edge of the Arctic Cir
Gle.
When Mrs. Beaumont crossed the Chill
kat Pass she had to wear mems clothes,
and native mems clothes, at that. She
had to walk, and had to help to dray the
sledges loaded with freight, too. The
snow was notably deep, even for that re-
gion, and crossing the pass was, and is,
considered hazardous undertaking for
man. She and her husband were the only
white people in the region, and the near
est white woman at any time was several
hundred miles away Sometimes Mrs.
Beaumont was left alone for weeks at a
time, while her husband went down the
river to procure supplies, and at such times
she did all the trading with the Indians
coming to the post with furs. After a
while there was baby to help her through
the lonely periods, and later another came.
The far northern part of Alaska is by
no means snowy waste, or at all for
bidding region, Mrs. Beaumont told an
interviewer from the San Francisco Ex-
aminer, although it is, of course, some
what dreary during the long winter. Fort
Yukon is away north of the rty-Mile
Greek gold fields, but next year she will
have comparatively near neighbors in the
new camp called Circle City, near the
Arctic Circle, only nine miles from Fort
Yukon. But it is not likely even then
that she will have many women callers of
her own race

Pharaoh the Oppressor.
From the Century Magazine.

The worst blot on his character was his
ruthless destruction of the works Of his
predecessor. No doubt, in such time of
distress, it would be difficult to supply
workmen for public monuments; but his
utter disregard for everything that went
before him outdoes even his orgulous
father, and is painfully in contrast to the
CAREFUL restoration made by his artistic
grandfather, Seti [. He planted his fu-
neral temple just behind the magnificent
building Of Amenhotep III, and proceeded
to smash up every portable stone, whether
statue or tablet, to throw in for his own
foundations, and then reared his walls with
the noble blocks of the great temple, and
even stole the very bricks Not content
with taking what he wanted, he further
defaced what he could not use; and all
over Egypt the statues of the kings may
be seen with his name rudely cut over their
inscriptions, or battered with hammer on
the exquisitely polished surfaces of the
other monarchs With little of scruple,
of taste, or of feeling, he was yet not de-
void of ability and energy for difficult
position; and though we may not rank him
with Trajan, a Belisarius, or an Alfred,
yet it would be hard to deny him the COM
pany of Vespasian or a Claudius Gothi-
Gus, George the Second, or Victor
Emmanuel.

Thoughts from Balzac.

Gas you please is the wife $ first word
of indifference,
Woman lives by sentiment where man
lives by action.
Money matters can always be settled,
but feelings are pitiless.
A man is strong when he admits to
himself his own weakness.
There is nothing like the exercise of
power for teaching you politics
There are some men who are always
polite-they have gloved souls.
In the medical profession carriage is
often more essential than skill.
The old critic is always kind and con-
siderate; the young critic is implacable.
Women are apt to see chiefly the defects
of man of talent and the merits of fool.
He who does not bestride success and
grasp it firmly by the name, lets fortune
escape.
