Those who take delight in criticism
of the mercenary characteristics Of the
Jew, says Leslies Weekly, would have
felt silent rebuke had they visited the
great shopping district of New York
during the height Of the holiday season.
On the busy Saturday preceding Christ
mas one of the largest and finest estab-
lishments on Twenty-third street was
closed throughout the day. A relative
of one of the members of the firm had
died, and, with that beautiful affection
which characterizes the race, the pro-
prietors drew the blinds and closed the
doors on a crowd of men and women
customers who eagerly sought admis-
sion. The closing of such an establish
ment for single day meant a loss of
tens of thousands of dollars. We fear
that many Christian in a similar
emergency would have been sadly
tempted to sacrifice his affections on
the altar of his selfshness.

it is now called New Dodge" aud that

and the world is supplied with meat.
Capt. Churchill is the man who recently
became famous for his feat in grating
alfalfa roots to strawberry plants and
raising large berries which startled
everybody. This story was circulated
about him all over the country and peo-
pie in Texas actually placed orders with
him for strawberry plants on which
alfalfa roots had been grated. He has
5000 acres in alfalfa and is raising about
600 head of cattle.

The Wedge OF Success.

In an article treating of young Won
en- in business life Lillian Whiting, writ
ing in the Chautauquan, gives utter
ance to some views which are soundly
philosophic and worthy of application
to the young men as well. Regarding
success in life she says:
"Really it does not make the slightest
difference in the world, so far as ulti-
mate success goes, as to where one be-
gins. Success is in the individual, not in
the circumstances. 1t consists solely in
the insight, or the instinct, as it some
times is, of knowing how to put in the
entering wedge. If the girl, eager to
advance, can simply secure any one
round of the ladder on which to stand
mere foothold-she has then every
conceivable opportunity. The rest lies
with herself. 1t is the inner purpose,
not the outer conveniences, that control
destiny. There are both visible and in
visible side to every undertaking. The
girl who is doing her worl-any work
faithfully, who has simply conquered
standing ground on the visible and ma
terial side may now proceed to build up
her success on the invisible-which is
the more real side. Character is an
| enormous factor in success. The per-
sonal impression made by the worker
| is almost, if not quite, an equal factor
with the special gift or aptitude in the
final achievement. A young woman in
journalistic work once remarked to me
that she did not try to do very good
work, as the paper that employed her
didn't pay much All, but one can far
better afford to have his work exceed
his pay than to have his pay exceed his
work. Let one Go weeks work worth
i $50 for ten dollars, and he is on the
road to success; lei him receive $50 a
week fer work worth only ten dollars
and he is on the road to failure. Good
work cuts its own channel and eventual
ly controls its rate of compensation
Poor work, no matter how well sal
aried, cannot long sustain itself. One
who always gives of his BEST whether
well paid or i'll paid, will get on, for he
is entering and driving in his wedge;
he is in accord with that divine law
expressed by Emerson in the injunc
ton: Put God and the universe in
/ your debt"

Circumstantial Eyidence.

During a discussion in regard to cir
cumstantial evidence lawyer told of a
remarkable case, which, he said, ap-
pears in the Virginia reports. 1t was
this: "A man was discovered drawing
knife from the PROSTATE form of an
other man near a roadside. The wit
nesses rushed upon him and took the
weapon from him. 1t was still drip
ping with the warm blood of the vic
tim. He was accused of the murder,
but asserted his innocence. He claimed
that he had happened along the road
but few moments before and saw his
alleged victim struggling with another
man. Before he could come up, the I'M
known had driven his knife home and
had fled into some brush close by. See
ing the knife still in the breast OF the
fallen man, he stopped over and drew
it forth, just as his accusers came on the
scene. That was his story. The knife
being identified as the property OF the
accused. no credence whatever was
placed in his tale. He was tried, con-
yicted and hanged. A year later the
man who had really committed the
crime, while on his death bed, confessed
that he was the murderer and told how
he had stolen the knife from the inno-
cent man who had been sent to the gal
lows"

Not long since three young fellows
who had been making night of it
rolled into the house and found a negro
busily engaged in gathering up all tie
silverware and depositing it in a big
sack in the middle of the dining-room
floor, preparatory to carrying it away.
The thief, says our informant, was
greatly frightened. One of them had
a pistol. He had very little faith in the
flrearm, but he called the colored por-
ter and, handing him the weapon, told
him to hold it on the burglar until the
three men went out for a policeman
When the officer finally arrived the por-
ter dropped his arm with the pistol.
The cylinder dropped out. Not single
load was in the pistol. When the
burglar was searched, two seven-shoot-
ing revolvers, loaded and self-acting,
were found on his person. The burglar
was so disguised with himself that he
cried.

A special to the Philadelphia Press
from Wilmington, Del, adds another an
ecdote to the long list of good dog
stories. Mrs. Thomas Il. Bayard, wife
# the ex-ambassador to England, has a
fine collie named Rob Roy MacGregor
Recently while Rob was playing with
another dog near the Bayard res
idence horse attached to a car
riage containing woman and child
came dashing down the street at furi-
Gus pace. When Rob saw the runaway
he ran toward him and began barking
and then followed by the side of the
horse for about square, when he made
a spring and seized the bride. He was
lifted from his feet, but held on, and
soon brought the horse to stand, when
the woman regained control and Rot
trotted off home.

Gold standard for Republicans.

The republican party's position on
the standard of monetary value was
clearly stated in the senate when Sen
ator Spooner, of Wisconsin, offered to
substitute for Senator Teller's kite
flying resolution a declaration that il
is the financial policy of the United
States to maintain the gold standard
until an international agreement with
the leading nations of the world for the
free coinage of silver can be reached.
That is what the republican party said
at St. Louis in June, 1896. and at the
polls, with the Endorsement of the ma
tion, in November. 1896. It is what
President Mckinley has said in his mes
sages and actions. The republican party
will fight it out on this line, and expects
to win every time. No silver monomet-
allism. The gold standard until BIZ
metallism can be made to answer its
own definition and not that of silver
fanatics.--Troy Times.

In a letter to the Chicago Tribune
Joaquin Miller, "the Poet of the ST.
erras," writes concerning the Klondike:
81 would not be tied up in this lorn,
large, desoiate largeness another win
ter for all the Klondike gold you could
point to me with dozen north poles In
thousand years. True, the summers
are superb, as glorious in colorS and
sweet odors as they are brief; alive with
water fowl, fishes and insect life. And
these mighty winters, too, are thrill
ing and inspiring in their terrible glory
for time. But when you have lived
down three months of this vast white
silence, as if all earth lay still and stark
dead in her white shroud, waiting the
judgment cay, and then find five
months still fronting you, why then
you want to 90 home"

IT has come to light, recent Wash
ington dispatch said, that there are
about ITO separate railroad organiza-
tions which neither asked for an ex-
tension of time nor have thus far paid
any attention to the law which obi
gated them to have all cars fitted up
with automatic couplers and air brakes.
The act of congress which governs in
the case imposes penalty of 500 for
each offense When once suits begin
to be entered in the courts against
these companies, it is said, there is
likely to be commotion.

"THE present system of examining
pension applications should be abel
ished, and the sooner the BETTER" said
Commissioner Evans. "The examina-
ton boards are expensive, inefficient
and biased by political and local infu-
ences. There ought to be only one
corps of examining physicians and sur
geons that would travel from state to
state at advertised times to examine
the old soldiers Then they would not
be swayed by local likes and dislikes,
as they are now, nor by the congress-
men, as local boards are now"

An immense meteor, followed by a
shower of meteoric stones, fell near the
big sand butte about 20 miles south
east of Duboise, Idaho, few days ago.
The conclusion, says our informant,
was so great that it caused perceptible
vibration of the earth which was dis
tinctly felt within a radius of 20 miles,
and was at first supposed to be an
earthquake. We wonder what would
become of man were he to be struck
by one of these celestial projectiles.

Mr.. HARBERT, of Chicago, makes a
novel suggestion to obtain q national
basis of compromise between the advo-
Gates of the gold standard and their OPP
ponents. The plan is for circulating
medium consisting of coin certificates
payable half in gold and half in silver
"a 81 certificate, for example, to be re-
deemed by 81 in gold coin and 81 in
silver coin. If the relative value of
one metal should diminish, the value
of the other, according to Mr.. Harbert,
would relatively increase and the
value of the certificates payable in
both metals jointly would be substan'
TALLY unaffected.

A Denison CTex. )man lately brought
suit for divorce from his wife on rather
unique grounds. They were married in
1857 and lived together until 1898, says
the report, when she left him. Her rea-
son for going was that before she mar
ried him she had loved another, who
had died. The longer she had lived
with Richardson the more convinced
she had become that one who had loved
orce could not love again, and she left
her husband, after 3s years of mar
rage, on this account.

An Imposition on Uncle Sam.

In reference to undeserving pension
ers upon Uncle Sans bounty the Youths
Companion presents case upon which
1t comments in terms we'll calculated to
receive coincidal response from all
truly patriotic Americans. The case is
that in which negro veteran who lives
In Ohio undertook. not long ago, to get
a pension. His was a deserving case,
but certain information, needed to
make his application technically com
plete, seemed difficult to procure. Fin
ally the veteran bethought him that the
colonel of his regiment had been wound
ed by fragment of the shell that
caused his own injury. The claim agent
hunted up the colonel. 1t proved that
this officer was Spaniard, Eldemero
Mayor by name, who had joined our
army in order to gain military expert
ence, of which he made such good use
when he returned to South America
that he is now, under the Argentine
Republic, the governor of Patagonia.
When the claim agent found him, Gov.
Mayor seemed to be doing very well.
His wound had not withheld him from
an active career, and he had won wealth,
position and certain fame. But in the
very instant he heard about our liberal
pension laws he discovered that some
thing had long been lacking from his
something that only the United
States treasury could supply; and he,
too, applied for a pension. His action,
says Youths Companion, is not without
precedent; and if pension is to be
viewed as payment for services rem
dered, Gov Mayor and his kind are justi-
fed in demanding their rights. 1t
seems to us, however, that such con-
ception Of the law is as unwarranted as
it is ignoble. We question whether il
ever entered the minds of the statesmen
who framed the first pension act. The
nation has very willingly owned its
duty in these premises, to provide for
the men whom the war disabled and
for the families of those who gave their
lives for their country. No patriotic
citizen objects to generous expenditure
along such lines. But there were many
soldiers who, like Gov. Mayor, found
the service stepping stone to fortune;
and there are others who, since the war
have greatly prospered. Any OF these
men may be technically entitled tc
pensions. Legally, the president of 6
great railroad, who gave service in the
army, may have as substantial right
TO eight dollars q month as the poor
man who, when the war ended, returned
to his mortgaged farm. Of his mora
right we are not so sure. The public
law, framed to deal with any and al
cases, cannot readily recognize such dis
tinctions; but the private conscience
might and should do so. We believe
| that the well-to-do pensioner would
take higher place in public esteem il
he requested that his name be strucl
from the rolls. J!'.r ..;--e,.'>{s.. ~ tri.@

He who would succeed with negro
labor must let the negro see that he is
treated as man, not as brute, says
Booker 7. Washington, the great negro
educator. If he is given decent house
for himself and family, and not made to
work an unreasonable number of hours
during the day, he will repay anyone in
high profits who thus treat him and at
nearly one-half the cost paid to north
ern white farm help. Sooner or later
this country is going to realize that it
has at its very doors the best labor that
the world has seen.
