THE RICH MAN.


Ian Maclaren Presents Him In New and
Better Light.
In ell times tho rich man has been a
target for the shafts of writer's, and never
more so than in these days of our own. II
Is somewhat novel, therefore, and indeed
refreshing to discover in Ian Maclaren, es-
sentially "a man Of the people, champion
of the much berated possessor of wealth.
His Is qualified and discriminating ap-
probation, 1t Is true, and the more inter-
esting because of these conditions.
1t has been the fashion of literature to
put this man In pillory, says the distin-
guished Scotch author, and to make play
with him and to leave the impression that
any scribbler who could string together a
few verses, although neither he nor his
verses had any claim to character, stood
higher by the truest standards Of worth
and was Of more value to the community.
This man is also apt to give himself away
by too often insisting on his own history
and by speaking as with HE own sword
and bow, and not by the good favcr of the
Almighty, he had achieved his success. But
IL Is common speech which does him most
injustice and quite confuses the situation,
For IL Is asked, "How much is he WORTH"
and then the answer Is given In figures. II
this were indeed the exact value, surely his
life had been a sad hasco, and he himself
was of no account. What he is worth is
another thing from what he possesses, and
II you go into the matter his fortune be-
comes n mere symbol to be transferred
from figures into qualities. Just as half
dozen books stamped with university arms
show that young scholar has made a fair
beginning in culture or a simple bronze
cross on soldiers breast proves that he
has played the man on the field of battle, SO
does honorable success in business bear
witness to character 1t means that a fell
low man called to his work In his calling
has not been idle and careless, fiinging
away his opportunities and denying his
duties. 1t means that he has not yielded
to tho lower impulses of his nature and
done foolisnly, to the weakening of his
mind and body. It means that he has re-
sisted temptation to trickery, deceit and
unprincipled work Of all kinds This 910,-
coo or el00, 900 is in itself only dust and
vanity. But consider it as and work
the equation out, and it reads industry,
perseverance. thrift, intelligence, self de-
nial, integrity. This gold is but an
other word for brain and conscience and
proves that one has done the work laid to
his hand with all his might, and in SO do
ing has built mp his manhood.

A Hall seat.

A hall seat seems In he what IL needed
In many halls, but every housekeeper can.
not afford an old oak or mahogany settee,
or even have one built Of pine and stained
to match the woodwork In tho room. A
plain wooden bench, such as is to be found
In every house furnishing store, stained TO
initiate cherry OF oak, makes nice look
ing settec. Make n box cushion for the
top, covering II with sumptuously colorcd
cretonne, corduroy or some inexpensive
material, tuftipg it by tacking down with
covered buttons Put a IL inch fiounce
upon tho cushion, box plating IL on. and
you will have q very comfortable and
pretty hall ssat New York Sun.

THE HGART or MAN.

I am part OF the things despiss,
6inoe my life In bound by their common spon.
And each idier meet In square or street
Hath within him what all that's outside him
bellies
The miraculous, infinite heart Of man,
With it's countless capabilities.
The sleekest gusst at tho general feast
That at every sip rs he sups says grace
Hath within him touch OF the untamed beast
And change Of nature is change Of place.

More

Curative power is contained in Hood:
Sarsaparilla than in any other simi al
preparation. 1t costs the proprietor
and manufacturer more. 1t costs the
jobber more and it is worth more to
the consumer. More skill is required
IN Its preparation and it combines
more remedial qualities than any
other medicine. Consequently it has
record Of more cures and its sales
are more than those OF any other pre-.
paration. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
best medicine to buy because it is an
honest medicine and thousands ot
testimonials prove that it does actual.
ly and permanently cure disease.

wonderful cures of the most distress.
