The Child Afraid of the Dark.

A timid child cries when he is put to
bed because he is afraid Of the dark The
"soft hearted" parent stays with him sim
ply because he is sorry for him and wants
to comfort him. The scientifically trained
parent stays with him because he realizes
that the child is passing through phase
of race development in which his imagina-
ton has the best of him. 1t is impossible
to reason him out of demonology because
his logical faculties arc not developed
After all, these two parents, wide apart in
point of view, act much tho same, and
very differently from the pseudo scientific
parent, who acts from dogmatic convic-
ton and is sure he is right. He talks Of
developing his child's self respect and
good sense and leaves him to cry himself
to sleep, demanding powers of self control
and development which the child does not
possess. Jane Adams in Atlantic.

Familiar Quotation Ascribed to

Few popular quotations have more
engaged the pens of critics than tho fol-
lowing:
For ho that fights and runs nway
Will 1.-Two TO fight another day.
These lines are almost universally
supposed to form part of "Hudibras, :"
and SO confident have even scholars been
ON the subject that in 1854 u wager was
made at Bootle of 20 to 1 that they
were to be found in that inimitable
poem. Dodsley was referred to us the
arbiter, when he ridiculed the idea Of
consulting him OH the subject, saying,
every fool knows they are in 'Hudi.
BRAS y"
George eelwyn, who was present,
said to Dodsley, "Pray, sir, will you be
good enough, then, to inform an old fool,
who is at the same time your wise
worship's very humble servant, in what
oanto they are to be foundp"
Dodsley took down the volume, but
he could not find the passage. The next
day came, with no better success, and
the sage bibliophile was obliged to con.
fess 'sthat man might be Ignorant Of
the author of this we'll known coupled
without being absolutely fool" But
Ter has indeed two or three passages
somewhat similar. The one that comes
nearest is the following, in Hudibras, y
book 8, canto 8, verso 243:
For those that fly may fight again,
Which he can never do that's slain.
Tho fact, however. is that the couplet
thus enormously ascribed to the author
of "Hudibras, occurs in small vol
ume of miscellaneous poems by Sir JOIN
Mennea, written in the reign Of Charles
H-Exchange.

that, in some parts of the country, the
fall in the wages OF farm laborers neces-
sarily affected, for a short season, those

men suffered severely through our di.

ing less use of our cars and engines, we
had less OF them to repair, and both the
number employed and the hours of
work in the shops were reduced. 1t
seemed to me then, and it seems to me
now, that 1t would have been better for
the men, if it had been possible for us,
by reducing the scale of wages a little,
to have employed more men or to give
them work on full time. Men in rail-
road shops are paid by the hour. The
question is whether the men, and the
communities in which they live,
would not have been benefited by
adopting course B below, rather than
adhering to A, as we were forced to do.

This shows that seven tenths of all
the railroad employees discharged du-
ring the year ended June 30, 1894. had
been employed in the Mississippi val
ley, and that while throughout the rest
OF the country one man in fourteen lost
his employment that year, in the Valley
nearly one in every seven met with
like misfortune. The distress was most
severe in groups Ill. and VI, compris.
ing substantially the area bounded east
by the Allegheny mountains, south by
the Ohio and west by the Missouri and
Mississippi rivers. Virtually half
(46,848) of all the men discharged lived
in those two groups.
In group LII. the rate per ton per
mile is the lowest of any, and in group
vi. it is lower than in any the other six
groups lying west of the Alleghenies.
The rate in group L., the New England
States, is more than forty per cent.
higher than that of group vi, and
more than double that OF group LII.

New Orleans is the natural port of

miliar with the struggle made by the
people of the valley toward the close of
the last century against the embargo
laid by Spain and France on commerce
through New Orleans, which led to and
justified the so-called Louisiana pur-
chase ia 1903. Down to the breaking
out of the civil war in 1861, the river
carried the products of the valley to the
gulf and brought back imported goods
During the four years of that war and
the following period of misrule at the
south the very mouth of the river was
allowed to fill up until only vessels OF
small draft could enter it, and transport.
alton between the valley and the sea
was forced into unnatural channels,
provided by steep or circuitous rail-
roads over or around the Allegheny
mountains.
That even the most direct of them is
crooked, is shown by the fact that while
the short line distances by rail from
Chicago to New York and New Orleans
are identical, 912 miles, the air line dis.
tances are to New York, 709, to New
Orleans 1926. That is to say, in running
over the mountains, 203 miles, or %

the valley only sc miles, or 10 and 40
per cent are added thereto. The sum
NIT on the short line between Chicago
and New York is nearly midway be
tween those cities at an altitude of
about 2,l6l feet above tide; the summit
on the short line between Chicago and
New Orleans is within "a miles Of Chi
cago, at an altitude of 8O4 feet above
tide. AS Chicago is 500 feet above the

Rhineharts Indian P,ctures.

ANAAAOAoAG 10 xuulhu xlCtuE68,
In the summer of 1896 the Govern.
ment Indian Bureau invited all tribes
of Indians in this country to send dele
gales to an Indian Congress, and they |
gathered from Tar aud near with their |
ponies and tepees and gaudiest trap
pings in the Exposition GroundE at |
Omaha. Never before had there been
and never again will there be such q |
gathering. The were about five hun
dred of them. some partly civilized, but
the greater portion picturesque in
original ravagery. Strange as it may
seem at this late day many of the In
dams declared that before coming to
Omaha they had no idea what multi.
tudes of white men there were or how
helpless it was to try to stand against
them. This was probably the last time
that SO complete and spectacular q |
view Of the North American Indian
will be possible and those who had the
privilege OF witnessing 1t are to be
covnted fortunate. At the time of the
Indian Congress prominent photogrs-
pher obtained permission to take the
photographs of the most noted Chiefs
present and succeeded in obtaining 81
collection which never will be equalled.
Mr.. Rhinehart, the photographer, copy
righted all these pictures and placed in
which, notwithstanding their high
price, sold at once and these Indian
pictures have become the fad of the
year. The Chicago Great Western
Railway has succeeded at large expense
IN obtaining from Mr.. Rinehart the
privilege Of reproducing the best four
of these pictures, Chiefs "White Robe,
sLouison", "Hollow Horn Bear" and
"Hattis Tom" and have incorporated
them in an art calendar for 1900, which
is pronounced the most artistic pro-
luction yet attempted. The heads are
= x inches, one on sheet, wonder
fully reproduced in all their original
colore and when framed make most
striking and effective pictures particu-
larry suited for holiday gifts. Owing
to the expense but q very small edition

however while the supply lasts to any
