know of no more charming member
of the community than the old lawyer,
says Chauncey Depew. I studied with
a judge who, as l left his office, had
completed the seth year of his life ard
the 65th year of his practice. The old
lawyer is the custodian Of the secrets
of the community. If he has been
true to his profession, and to his best in
stincts and teachings, he has been the
benefactor of the village or the town
or the county in which he has spent
his life. He has settled family dis
putes. he has reconciled heirs to the
provisions of wills, he has adjusted sat
isfactorily to all and to the prevention
of family feuds the distribution of es-
tates, he has prevented neighborhood
vendettas on boundary lines, he has
brought oldtime enmities into cordial
friendships, he has made clients and
money by being honest, faithful and
true. The secrets of his register, Of
his safe and of his memory are the skel-
etons of the family closets of the whole
neighborhood. But the process of mod
ern cremation does not more perfectly
destroy the human frame than does
this lawyers fidelity to his oath keep
out Of sight these family skeletons.

the big man maintained a similar posi-

against the door and by sheer weight in

could not shut the door; he was too
heavy. Then she thought and then she
smiled.
She quietly adjusted her hatpin, gave
the door gentle pull and the big man
nearly vaulted over the dashboard. He
did not say anything nor did he upset
more than half the other passengers on

Prosperity at Canton, Ohio.

The following is from the mayor OF
Canton, Ohio, McKinley's home:
There never has been anything like
this in Ohio before. There are hum
dreds Of families in Canton today who
are suffering for want Of food and
clothing. Things are getting worse,
In three months this year have spent
out of my private purse for food and
coal and clothing to give away more
than my years salary as mayor. The
factories are cutting down wages and
reducing their forces. Many Of them
are not operating more than three
days in week. Most of them are rum
ming without profit. Farm land that
has been worth 500 an acre cannot be
sold for $50 an acre. 1t is almost i'm
possible to borrow money on real es-
tate because prices sink, sink, and
sink. l know of scores OF men who ara
insolvent and who continue to do busi-
ness simply because their creditors do
not dare to act"

In the Land of Hard Times.

III bho Ahuu VI DdfQ Ilmea.
From the palace of Ease my lady sci
out,
Her carriage wheels shone in tbe
light;
Her fields lay fertile and green abop,
And she wondered how any blind soul
could doubt
That God rules ever In might.
And she marveled greatly how sin and
shame
To this fair world came.
There gazed from window across the
way
A creature pallid and gaunt:
Her cheeks were hollow, her face was
gray;
And hard, deeplines by the hard mouth
lay,
For she dwelt in the House of Want
And look like a curse came into her
eye
AS my lady rode by.
She hated the world that had used ber
Ill:
She was bitter with discomfort.
She was weary of toll in the dull tread
mill
Where she wasted her life In the effort
to fill
The mouth OF that monster Rent
She hated the owners of acres abroad
And she doubted God.
Oh, woman, weary of toll and pain.
1 No wonder your heart liz gall.
God gave His people a wide domain
He gave us the seasons, the sun and
the rain.
And room and food for us all.
1T is man, the author of selfish crimes
Who brings hard times.
oh. Lady Fair, In your Castle of Ease
You are happy and well content:
but what would you do were you one
OF these
Who toll and suffer and starve and
freeze
] To fatten the monster, Rent?
Yet God rules ever, and right some
day
ldust have It's own way.

FINANCE,

The county commissioners, we think,
made a great big mistake in issuing
bonds to fund the county's indebted
ness. While 1t is true that the bonds
will draw less interest than do the
outstanding warrants still, In the long
run, there will be more interest paid on
the bonds than there would have been
on the warrants. The issuing Of bonds
invariably entails profligacy and caro-
lessness. The bonds can he paid in
ten years; II not, they are to run twen-
W, and we warrant that every dollar
OF them will. There is another princi-
pie involved that We consider very
wrong, and that is making obligations
for the unborn to pay. True, the obli-
cations were already made, but instead
OF putting off paying the whole thing
for ten or twenty years, every effort
ought to have been made in the direc-
tlon OF paying it off at once and as fast
as possible. We are opposed to the
