A SUM MER OUTING.
The Cost Is the First Thing 60 BE
Considered


The very first thing to he considered
by the average person" in this connec-
ton is the cost. Money, as n rule, per-
sistently cvades capture in large
amounts. and it is "A curious law of
life which makes dollars represent
more actual enjoyment to the poor
than to therich. Wcwhoh ayen ota large
bank balance in u favor and an in
come not dependent upon our labor

among which a summer outing is the
most delightful. We must choose the
cheapest, and, II possible, at the same
time the best. Our hard~earned money
ought to command it's full value during
the short time that ran be devoted to
recreation and rational amusement;
but how shall we insure this result?
There are 80 many delightful things
one can do in the way Of spending IA
vacation that a little forcthought Is
necessary before choosing. IN the
first place IL is not absolutely certain
that one need 90 away from home 10

in what We imagine it is going 10 be
and not in what it finally gives us,
while the most satisfactory enjoymcnts

home neighborhood, and if we but
know how TO get within reach of them
we need 20 no further. -- Maurice

billions, and both of them went sor-
rowfully to their graves, their splendid
careers reeking with the miseries Of
disappointed ambition.
1t takes but a slight effort of MEM
DRY to recall another outrage commit
ted for the furtheranee of one man'eam-
bition. There was in the senate a man
who had served his country with excep-
tional ability. and against whose name
there was never Il shadow of suspicion
of corruption. He was a master mind,
and was for years the accredited lead
er of his party in the senate. He had
passed the age of three score years and
ten, and his intimate friends observed
that his mind was becoming unbal-
anced because of his loss of memory.
He remembered the things of long ago,
but he could not remember from day to
day the occurrences in public affairs
which ought to have commanded his
constant attention. OF all men in pub
lie life, he should have been most free
from the assaults of ambitious men.
Suddenly there arose upon the po-
litical horizon a man of great force of
character who was ambitious to go to
the senate. The venerable statesman
stood in his way. He had no DISPOSE
ton to retire, and did not realize that

he was losing his intellectual virility
The ambitious man who wanted his
place in the senate determined to ge1
rid of him, and proceeded TO accom-
plish his purpose. Ten years earlier. o,
even five years earlier, the nan who
concluded to dispose of the old senator
would not have dared to aspire. But he
knew that he was dealing with a fail.

ingly. The old senator was induced tc
believe that he could never be reelected;
that his health would not withstand the
strain of H heated campaign, and that
he could retire with honor by becom.
ing a member of the cabinet. The pres
ident of the republic, who was also a
politician. looked %favorably upon the
ambitions of the new man, and he pre-
pared a place in the cabinet for the fail
ing statesman. The result was that the
old man went into the cabinet, and the
younger politician took his place in the
senate.
That was the first step towards get
ting rid of the old man. The next step
was to publicly the feeble
condition of the venerable statesman,
and let the people know that he was un-
fit to hold a cabinet position. This was
done through the newspapers. 1t was
done to prepare for the final act of get
ting rid of the grand old mai who had

Weeks went by and months rolled
rolled around. Frequently the news-
papers were used to disseminate state
ments concerning the grave errors
which the venerable statesman was
committing, and finally, after the peo-
pie of the republic had been prepared
for the event, the old man was required
to resign his cabinet Office and retire to
private life, with shattered health and
the humiliation and chagrin Of betrayal
in the house of his friends.
These are only a few instances of
public affairs which illustrate and
prove the proposition that all politi-
clans are selfish, and that they are fire.
quently cold-blooded towards those
who stand in the way of their ambi-
tons. Past friendship counts for but
little, and usually for nothing. When a
politician once en%tertains a desire for
his own advancement. he not only seeks
public favor, but he proceeded to knock
out all who seem to be in the pathway
which leads to the goal which he seeks.
One thing more. When Il politician
gets into the senate or house of repre-
sentatives he wants to stay there. His
whole object is to retain his place for
life. Consequently, instead of placing
public interest before anything else,
the politician goes to the work of legis-
lation with the idea of a denomination
and a reelection in view. Every bill in
troduced, and every bill which he tries
to have passed is handled with a view
to increasing his own popularity with
the people, in order that he may retain
his place in public life.

The fig crop is uow in perfection and
Greenville housewives arc busy pre-

Figs are scarcely appreciated at their

common and such a sure crop. 1t is one
of the finest and most desirable of all
fruits, and from June to November fur
nishes q delightful addition to the
breakfast table OF those who know how
to appreciate it. In addition to its del

DYEA A SUPPORT.


s"P'N
En- Route to klondike
WASHINGTON, July 24.--In view of
the present rush of travel to the klon-
dixie gold fields Secretary Gage has es-
tablished n SUPPORT of entry at Dyea,
Alaska. The action vas taken as the
result of an application to the treasury
department by Canada for permission
for Canadian vessels to enter at Dyca,
Alaska, and land passengers and
baggage there. Dyea is about fifty
miles north of Juneau, and it was de-
sired to save passengers the annoyance
of disembarlkinp at Juneau and await
ing another steamer for Dyea. the head
of navigation on the route to the Yu.
kon frontier.
The granting of the application
would have made it necessary in all
cases Of vessels clearing for Dyea to
give a special permit to the deputy at
Juneau, in the case of each vessel. In
order to obviate this directly the see
rotary of the TREASURY constituted
Dvea a support of entry. This action
was taken under authority of the act
of March lG, 1896, which authorizes the
secretary to establish supports at
such places in Alaska rs he may deem
proper.
Some objection was made by rep
resentatives from the Pacific coast to
the granting of the application to per-
nit Canadian vessels TO proceed to
Dyea, but ON full consideration of the
question it was thought advisable by
the secretary to exercise the right
clearly given by statute to make Dyea
a SUPPORT, thus relieving passengers
from the annoyance of discriminating
at Juneau and awaiting other means
of transportation to Dyea.

everyone they meet. and promise all
sorts of things before election day.
Thousands Of promises are made by
politicians, which they know they san
not fulfill, and which they never intend
TO fulfill.
Politicians more than any other class
of men regard self-preservation as the
first law of nature. They will not help
any man to prosper, unless by helping
him they help themselves. On the con-
trary, they relentlessly strike down
every man who seems to be in the path
way of their ambition.
Within the memory of all mature
men now living the whole nation was
rocked and wracked because of the
clashing ambitions Of two men. a pres
ident was used as a tool for the ambi-
ton Of one'man and the undoing of the
other. The senate in the national cap
itol was made q scene OF strife which
would disgrace a gathering OF quarrel
some village gossipers. Two members
OF the senate resigned their positions
in anger. The vice president wrote his
resignation Of his high office, but was
persuaded to tear 1t up and remain in
his position for political reasons. Later
on he became president. In that high
office he declined to do anything tangi-
BILE for the men who had made his high
advancement possible.
Both of the struggling politicians are
now in their graves. The president has
been dead for a number Of years. The

time from eternity. But the ~recollec-
