Autumn Trips to Fort Monroe.

1t is a question in the minds of those
who have frequently visited Fortress Mon
rec and Virginia Beach as to whether au-
tumn is not the pleasantest time of the
year to be at these famous resorts. That
many Westinghouse enjoy spending a
brief outing at Fortress Monroe and Vir-
ginia Beach is attested by the great num-
Der who take the Saturday evening excur-
sions to Norfolk and Old Point Comfort
or the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Company's steamers. The steamer, which
will leave It'll street wharf Saturday at
pm, will arrive at Fortress Monroe early
Sunday morning thus giving the entire
day for sightseeing and pleasure, as the
steamer does not leave for home until late
Sunday evening. The steamers of the Nor
folk and Washington line are modern in
every particular. They were designed and
built on modern lines. They are furnished
throughout in modern style. They are fit
ted with modern conveniences and COM
forts. They are heated by steam and light
ed by electricity. Touching in at Norfolk
and this city every day. they are able to
obtain everything In season for their Ia
bies. Steamer Newport News will make the

THE LAST OF THE IRoNCLADs.

Paper Read Before the Chautauqua Circle.
1t was the year 1926. There had been
wars and rumOrs of wars. The Russian
bear, with his Cossack and Tartar le-
gions and his mighty navies, had swept
down from Vladivostok subduing
Japan and conquering the land of the
Mandarin; then wheeling into his
own columns these myrlads of almond
eyed heathens, he had pushed west
ward, overrunning and conquering
India, on to the eastern borders of
Europe; here forming junction with
Menelik H., who meanwhile had gath
cred beneath his standard the tribes of
the Dark Continent, the Dervish and
the Arab.
With this great army of uncounted
millions the conquest of all Europe
was but holiday outing that ended

there is great CONSERVATION among the
ironclads and determined endeavor
to escape, but of no avail; for in less
than an hours time not ship remains
afioat, nor one man of all that vast
multitude alive to tell the tale. But
high in the air, there is rejoicing among
the Yankee tars and as they sing the
refrain of columbia rules the wave
the silken folds of ''Old Glory" flutter
merrily in the sea breezes.
Thus was fought the last great naval

THE STUDY OF HUMAN IDEALS.

The lever that moves nations and
individuals, promotes unity, develops
society, and adds to its store of culture
and refinement, the guiding star of pro-
gress, the beacOn-light of spirituality,
is a mental picture of the real clothed
in the garments of the ideal. Without
this Pharos of ideality, as a guide
through the ages, man would ever be
disputing possession of the forest and
cave with the dumb brute. 1t is not so
much what we have as that which we
would like to have, that raises man
above the level Of the beast and sends
MIN forward on the march of progress.
All knowledge springs from our ideas,
all progress from the idealiZation of
~ those ideas; hence to gain knowledge
we must accumulate ideas. Only two
ways are open to us for so doing: one,
the experience of the life we live and
see around us; the other, the reading of
those experiences from other lives as
chrOnicled in the pages of history.
Hence, history becomes, through the
relics of the past, record of the ideals
of the human race. In your historical
studies, then. bear in mind that you
study not for the purpose of storing
the brain with mental pictures of ma
tiOns and their relics, of dates and
places, of kings and peoples, religions
70 h,f fo
terial things, to sift them, and from
these siftings gather up the ideas, and
from these their ideals. Let your ac-
QUESTION of knowledge undergo pro-
cess of double distillation, and store
away the residue, the idealized ideas of
history and experience. Having
grasped these ideals, label and classify
them and then compare the ideals of
one race or nation with others, and
note their advance or retrOgreSsiOn.
Our high civilization is the result of
this line of action, and whenever fol.
lowed, individually or collectively,
must of necessity advance the human
race.
TO learn from experience, to judge
: the future from the past, is as true,
comparatively, for the entire race as
for the individual. In general, the

people lived and loved and died, but
the ideals behind this existence were
without rivalry, were centered in and
radiated from the royal family. All
truth was assumed as known Thus,
conservatism was a virtue, and the
subject departing from these ideas,
who evolved new ideals, paid for the
experiment by slavery or death. The
destruction by the restored Ramesesian
line OF Egyptian kings, of the temples
and monuments of the dynasty of the
disk wOrshippers, exemplifies this
ultra conservatism, this antipathy to
progress, characteristic of the most
ancient races.
1t is only when the searchlight of
history rests upon the soil of Greece
that we find these conditions altered,
and the human mind becomes free to
produce and select the best from the
ideals around them. There internal
rivalry Sprang into life, was fostered
and produced the best ideals of the
worlds art, literature and government.
But it was at the cost of unity, of
national existence. That their ideals
were true is proven, since two thou
sand years has not replaced them, and
beautiful since each succeeding age
admires and copies their productions.
The social life of the ancient races was
one of RIGHTEOUSNESS and cruelty
among the ruling class and grinding
servitude and fanaticiSm of the SUBJ
ject people. Greece first pronounced
personal freedom. We today declare
it ''inalienable." The darker shadow
of all ancient life, with the possible
exception of the Jewish race, was over
their home life, their personal life.
The purely mental ideals which tend
to perfect domestic life, were lacking.
Nowhere do we find truth, virtue, pur-
ity, honor, love, spirituality and kindred
ideals, as guides of daily life; rarely
are they considered, and more rarely
practiced. The fingers of your hands
will number the few men whose per-
Sonal life arose above the stagnant
evil around them, and it is worthy of
deep thought that we, in our vaunted
era of civilization, have not produced a
Christ, a Socrates, a Zoroaster, a Buddha
or Confucius, that the ideals of spirit
ual life, presented through them re-
main the ideals of today. Study these
ideals if you would be true men. Fol
low them if you can, for these are the
ideals which build up character in the
individual, and through the individual,
national character and national exist
ence. LAS the twig is bent the trees

ever increasing in truth, purity and
beauty, until in their full realization,

THE ANNUAL KICK.

"..,.........
Again, as the legislatures are in ses-
sion in the several states, mighty
roar goes up against convict labor.
Not only in those states where pris-
oners are employed on the contract
system, bnt also where the benefit of
their labor goes exclusively to the state.
In Kansas, where the state owns the
coal mines in which the prisoners work,
the coal miners have registered kick
to the legislature against it. In
Louisiana, where the state operates a
farm, the farmers have registered a
kick, because their produce comes in
competition with the stuff that the con-
victs raise. Now to man up tree,
or in state prison, it's hard to see what
these kickers are driving at. Do they
suppose that convicts have an insa-
table appetite for work? Nit, my
friends.
myself would rather, much rather,
sit on the sunny side of a building and
play mumble-peg than work. And
there are others. Now if you don't
want us to work, what do you intend
to do with us? You don't want us to
scheme and get up machines so that
upon getting out all we would have to
do is to touch a button and your
clothes line would be stripped, your
chicken house cleaned out, or your
house robbed. Oh no; that would not
do at all. All, see, you want us to re-
form. You want us, when we leave
this prison, to lead an honest and up
right life, take our stand among men,
as men, and earn our living by the
sweat of our brow. Well, now, that
sounds very nice; believe heard it be-
fore up in chapel; but do you realize
how much stands between that state
and our present condition? In the first
place, when you made us convicts you
took all the incentive for ambition
away from us. We, as ex-convicts,
could never hope to reach a place of
honor and trust, no matter how much
our brows sweated in an endeavOr to
do so. While all good men on the out
side eat to live, about all that is left to
us is to live to eat.
In the second place, we, as crowd,
have india rubber consciences, and they
must have the stretch taken out. Now
the only incentive we have to reform is
our relatives, who have stuck to us in
our trouble, and shown us the little at
tentiOn that brightens prison life. They
have faith in us, and for their sake if
for nothing else, we feel like as if a
little reform would be agreeable. But
our relatives, as a rule, are poor people,
and we cannot live from the sweat of
their brows after getting out. We
must work to earn our living, but how
can we if we don't know how? We
have inclinations for it, but lying idle
for years but adds to our ignorance and
increases our anti-inclinatiOns. BY Civ
ing us work while in prison, many of

LIVE O ITEMS.

That man is wasting his substance
who keeps a steer after he is ready for
the market.
When stock feeders, says a writer,
come to know the value of peas and
beans for feed, they will be as staple
as corn. ~
The difference in the price between
we'll bred stock and scrubs. when sent
to market, ought to be sufficient argu
ment to induce any to breed the
best.
Better sell an inferior animal than
to breed it, even if it must be sold at a
sacrifice. 1t is a good thing to grade
up stock, but a better thing to Gull out
all below par.
Stock allowed to fall off in condition
at any time is kept at a loss, for to put
it back to the weight from which 1t has
fallen is done at a cots greater than
that when it was first fattened.
1t requires just as much are and al
ways more feed to make the same
weight with scrub stock that it does
with pure breeds, and the price is
never so high for the former as for the
latter.

opportunity to avail themselves of the

said, they were carefully looked over
