Secretary Gage of the Treasury
has had his say about the coming
of good times and it has gone the
rounds of the press, just as the
utterance of the Oracle of Delphi
would be repeated. The Secretary's
wisdom is all embraced in the fol
lowing short sentence "There is
actual Improvement, and the way
to make it grow is to get timidity
and apprehension out of the heads
of men. :"
There's wisdom for you And
it is banker wisdom pure and sim
pie. Have confidence. Believe the
times are improving. Borrow
money from the banks. Pledge all
of your property for the loan
and interest. Pitch into business
headlong and when there is no price
for your products, the bank will
take your security for the debt.
That's the way TO make good times
''grow" and get apprehension out
of mems heads" That kind of adj
vice is never given by a true bus
mess man. None but a profess
sional usurer would ever give such
advice, and that is exactly what
Secretary Gage is and he never was
in any other business but the skin
ming of the industrial and wealth
producing class. He has never
added one dollar to the wealth of
the nation; and yet the people
listen to such men standing in the
portico of the temple of Mammon
giving advice to labor.

ALTRUISM IN PRACTICE.

No Place for Extreme Self-Deniul in
Large Cities. However.
There was once an altruist who had
an important engagement in distant
town. Accordingly he went to the rail-
way station to buy his ticket; passen-
gers were not allowed to pay on the
train.
This man possessed an athletic and
sharp-eyed conscience, which he took
along with him because he never could
succeed in leaving it behind.
Arrived at the station he found sever
al other people waiting to buy tickets;
SO he took his place at the end of the
line. When he got to the window he
was just about to ask for ticket to
-. when he glanced over his shoulder
and saw another man waiting. Prefer
ring others to himself, the altruist
stepped aside, and the other man
bought his ticket. The altruist was
again about to buy when he observed
woman waiting, and again made way.
After her came number of men,
women and children, who crowded so
closely together that the altruist could
not get into line again and had to go to
the foot. Even here fresh people were
constantly coming in at the door and
he made way for each of them, and held
their bundles while they went up to
Euy their tickets, so that night came
before he had got his own at all.
But there is just time now" said the
altruist. So he made dash for the
ticket window, but his conscience
caught him by the collar.
'How selfish, it said, severely. You
are going to take the last chance; there
is another man who wants it," So the
other man bought the ticket. and the
window was closed for the night.
'I'll manage better tomorrow" said
the altruist. So the next day he came
early and headed the line. But just as
the ticket window was opened the man
behind him said: "Just let me ahead,
won't you? I'm in a hurry So the al

Charles Dickens had a great love for
music. and, particularly enjoyed songs
and ballads, anything pathetic in the
strains of which quickly moved him.

which songs should be rendered, and

known. One day a member of his
