HeIning a Friend.

There are those who say unkind
things of the late Dan Voorhees," remark
ed a prominent republican from the state
of Indiana, according to the Washington
Star, but whatever may be said, 1t is
political and not personal, for the man
had one side to his nature that the whole
world could admire, and that part of it
which knew did admire and love as well
1t was on this account that when he died
there were many who shed sincere and
sorrowful tears for his loss. They did not
know him as a politician and a United
States senator, but a a man and friend
Il remember an instance showing his
kindness and also showing one of the rea-
sons why he was always poor. He had
gone down the railroad some thirty or
forty miles from his home to defend a
case in court, which he had very little
thought of getting any money for, though
the Htigant had plenty of property. He
won the case, and, much to his surprise
his client gave him 500. which was also
pleasant to have, as he had loaned to
various applicants what little money he
had brought from home with him. He
pocketed the hundred, and, after paying
his hotel bill, started to walk leisurely to
the train, due in half or three-uuarters
of an hour. on his way he was overtaken
by a former friend, who hurried after him
to ask his legal advice. free, of course
in the matter of STAYING off a mortgage
on his 5000 farm, and saving 1t to his
family. A hundred dollars would set 1t
forward a year, and give him that much
time to pull himself out. which he was
sure he could do. Voorhees, talked ten
minutes or more to the man, giving h m
such advice as he thought was the best
and all at once he broke into a hearty
laugh
What's the matter?' asked the farm
er, almost indignant at such levity.
Why still laughed Voorhees,, going
into the pocket where his roll of bills was
here I'm talking all this time to you
when I've got the very thing you need
l had clean forgotten all about 1t. Here 5
what you want good deal more than le-
gal advice and. handing the farmer the
$50 fee, he hur . along to the railroad
station, where he borrowed money enough
to buy a ticket home"

A few days ago we expressed the opln-
ion that good country highways and the
bicycle would do much towards solving
the problem OF improving the rural schools
and making life upon the farm attractive.
Noting and commenting upon our edito-
rial. the Macon Telegraph says: This is
a very happy suggestion and should arouse
the farmers of the state to a demand for
better country roads. The bicycle is a
vehicle for men, women and children. The
rider. II the roads be good, can conven-
ienty "neighbor' with persons dozen
miles away. The wheel. for many pur-
poses. is better than a horse. II only re-

moratio seymour,s critic.

The old political member was in re-
iniscent mood at the Cogburn Club the
other evening. according to the Utica o.
server. and he related this anecdote about
Horatio Seymour, which he said the gov
ernor Ised to tell on himself:
Il mad just taken my seat in the rail-

rial-looking men In trout OF me" said the
governor. do you know this Hora 10

be governor. 1 understand that he owns a
half interest in more than half the rum

An UnnIterabIe Mood.

Mr. Blykins was looking out into space
in silence when his wife found him, says
the Washington Star
Haven't you anything to read?' she
inquired
Nothing whatever" he replied with a
great deal more solemnity than the occa-
sion demanded.
It was plain that he was in a deeply pes
simistic mood. from which it was desira-
bic to win him, if possible.
Here is a newspaper" she ventured.
I've tried newspapers" he returned.
Il don't want any. L haven't found one
Of them that doesn't say something with
which don't agree. / am tired Of having
my opinions affronted TWO or three times
in every column"
Perhaps you'd like a novel. I bought a
new one and it's very interesting.
Il don't want any novels. either. Every
one Of them is tinged with false ideas OF
life. They're libels on human nature. The
modern novel is nothing more than an ire
sponsible caricature."
And he giared al his wife as if it were
her fault
Perhaps you'd like to have nae bring
you history from the libraryP
"History!' he repeated, contemptuously.
What are the data with which historians
work? The mere batteries of subsidized
sycophants of power! How do we know
that two-thirds of the history we read
isn't merely a reflex of the political pre-
JUDGES of defunct chroniclers! / have no
doubt that many of the men who wrote
about the prominent characters of the
past were ready to hold office If they got
the chance. A large number of them did
receive incomes from the government. And
you know as well as 1 do that a man who
is looking for Office is seldom qualified to
sit back in the jury box of literature and
take a calm, impartial view of current
events"
We'll" his wife rejoined. somewhat ex-
asperated, heres a book that I can com
mend to you. 1t isn't very interesting,
but 1t tells indlsputable facts in a cold
blooded way that ought to satisfy even
your suspicious nature. I don't like to
see you with your mind in utter idleness,
and if 1 were in your place I'd sit down
and read the city directory"
He took the volume and languidly turned
over some of the leaves.
NO" he said, handing it back; ITS like
all the rest. There's a man who used to
be a bunco steerer who is referred to in
this book as Mr.. Green. A colored man
of my acquaintance is put down as Mr..
White. The most inveterate bicycle rider
in the city is described as Walker and a
citizen alluded to as Black Is, to my
personal knowledge, an albino. It's no
use, Maria, l can't rely on anything l
see in print"
And he heaved another sigh and pro-
ceeded to look once more into vacancy
