Luck.

A young man lately went West, as so
many do, to seek his fortune in the
gold and silver district. Thousands
we're dreaming OF the gold and silver
veins and of the wealth of Monte
Cristo or Of CrBsus. But this fellow,
after looking about him, took a cool
survey of the food possibilities of this
country for one year. And be discoy-
cred that the market would be short on
that homely vegetable onions. In fact.
he coruered onions. In less tnan two
years he made fortune of over two
millions. Yet there are people who
persist in talking about '.IucS,'' and
who like TO see the new moon over the
right shoulder. Il is not the oppor-
tunity which counts, but the man or
the woman.
A fn-de-siecie wit recently called
life sucked orange" So it is for
those who wait for something to turn
up. The thing Is TO go out and turn
something up; not to think that life
owes US living, but to think that we
owe life living-the best living we
are capable Of. How unresponsive, IN
suggestive, dead, mind must be which
could call life sucked orange"-life,
the greatest of gifts, the one thing
which is itself one vast opportunity

Bryan on the Teller Resolution.

Mr.. Bryan in speech at Topeka,
Kansas, last week, in reference to the
Teller resolution said.
ut was but a reaffirmation of our
principles. Should the present mis-
Interpretation of our laws continue, /
am in favor Of going back 70 the old
days and repeating the Declaration of
Independence. Tell the Republican
party there is suffering in this country,
they can't see it, but If it is shown that
any corporation is not getting its share
then all Government must stop until the
demand is met Had we in the last
campaign promised that the laws should
not be enforced we would not have had
TO fight such large campaign fund.
The Democratic party does not believe
IN lawlessnes, but il in favor of punish
ing the big violator just the same as the
little ones. Democracy means that the
Government shall protect every man in
aife, liberty and the pursuit OF happi.
ness.
''If Republican politics continue
those who are rich will be too proud
to fight, and those who are poor will
have nothing to fight for. When
the people understand that this is a
battle between the man and the dollar
right viii triumph. When they meet
this condition they will have started in
the right direction"

Die for Aiiitarv Duty.
CHICAGO. Feb. pa special to the
'Times-Herald from Washington, d. c.,
says: According 20 report placed be-
fore President Mckinley there are now
available for military duty in the
United States l0,063,5T6 able-bodied
men, and Of these lls,0S2 are already
in the militia, forming the nucleus OF a
tremendous lighting force. This is
without considering the skeleton United
States arlny which could, Gu short no
tice, recruit up to 100000 men. There
was, at the close of 1896, organized
guards in every state and territory ex-
cept Alaska and Indian Territory, all
of whom could be used for active SER
vice in case of necessity. or the total
force of $4,000 there are 100000 in
the infantry braHch, 5000 in the cav
airy, 5000 in the artillery and about
1000 general officers. Camps were held
last year in many states at which were
present from 46 per cent. of the state
forces in Texas to 90 per cent. in Con-
necticut.
The total appropriations made by the
United States for militia was s400, 600
while the various states spent about
s., 5000 1t is estimated that the
time required for concentrating for SER
vice would vary from six hours in Ne
vada to three days in Oklahoma, while
the proportion that would probably
turn out for duty ranges from 80 per
cent. in Indiana and New Jersey 70 95
per cent. in Pennsylvania. New YORK
is far ahead, 50 far as her National
Guard is concerned, having over l3, 900
officers and men. Pennsylvania is sec
ond with 5000 and Illinois holds third
place with 5000.

11thes Am Enrllsn t.lsporr.

1ithes were not uncommon among
the Jews, but they were chiefly con-
fined to tenth part of the spoil
taken from the enemy. Bishop Bar
low, Seldom and others have observ-
ed that neither tithes nor ecclesias-
teal benefces were ever heard of in
the Christian church or pretended
to be due to the Christian priest
hood, and, as that bishop observes,
no mention is made of tithes in the
grand codex of canons ending in
the year 401. Seldom contends that
tithes were not introduced into Eng
land until the end of the eighth CEN
tury-that is, about the year 766.
About the year 794 Offa, king of
Meroia, gave unto the church the
tithes of all the kingdom (Mercia)
to expiate for the death of Ethel
bert, king of the East Angles, whom
in the year preceding be caused to
be murdered. This was one way of
endeavoring to appease the wrath
of God. Tithes were before paid in
England by way of offerings, and
about 60 years after Offa's estab-
lishment Ehelwolf enlarged it for
the whole kingdom. Charlemagne
established the payment of tithes in
France in us and made the famous
division of them into four parts, one
to maintain the edifice of the church,
the second to support the poor, the
third to the bishops and the fourth
to the parochiaI clergy. New York
