.Scribner's Magazine is publish.
ing a series OF articles from a
young man who started out in
search of work. In order we sup
pose to write the articles in ques.
ton. His first implied criticism
upon society Is not only the diff
ticulty Of obtaining labor, but the
fact that he was everywhere re-.
ceived with suspicion. Eveu at
one hotel after showing that he
could perform the mental duties.
assigned him, the proprietor was
evidently afraid to keep him; and
he found people more willing to
give him work as . beggar than
work as an honest man. Now,
there is nothing strange in this.
A man or boy should have a past
behind him. If he is just ont Of

Dor his appearance will certainly
show it, and this young man
could not appear to have been
engaged in manual labor simply
by putting on old clothes. When
people are unable to account for
a man they are naturally suspi-
cious Of him. Here is one WHOSE
appearance shows to everybody
that he has not been accustomed
to the life be Is following. He
evidently has something TO COM
ceal; he may be thief. In fact
the young man had something to
conceal, be was an amateur de-
tective. He wished to see how q
.laboring man obtained work, and
he could not appear TO be a la
boring man. lie found better
success IN a city with so large a
gang of men that his identity was
lost; but it is a mistake to assume
that people in the country or vii
lage should be expected to take
up a man without suspicion, when
he can give no account OF his
past. The struggle for existence
is severe, and work comes hard

1t is a singular fact that the
two most important acquisitions
Of territory made by the United
States since the formation of the
Government have come about
largely through a desire to raise
mp a rival on this continent to
Great Britain. The acquisitions
referred to are those Of the
Louisiana Territory and of Alaska.
1t is matter of history that Ma
poleon's willingness to sell
Louisiana to the United States in
1903 was due partly toa fear that
in the then pending war an Eng
lish fleet would seize New Or
leans and thus practically control
the Mississippi Valley, and part
ly to a desire 20 strengthen
rival power TO England. When
