PhlIanthroplc Success and FAILURE


Mr.. Carnegie's decision to devote the
remainder of his life to the work of
distributing his wealth in charity di-
rects attention to the peculiar difficult
ties that attend such task. a
Two illustrative and contrasting ex-
amples here In New York will readily
occur to the readers mind--those of A.
T. Stewart and Peter Cooper. Stew
art mad an extraordinary executive
ability in making money. He invent
ed the modern system of retail-shop-
keeping, with its one price, its seq
gregated departments, its cash require
ments and its automatism of organiza-
ton. He wanted to use a portion of his
wealth in philanthropic work and to
devote another portion to the support
of his wife and the enrichment of his
chosen friend. SO clumsily did he
manage the matter that all his pur-
poses were brought to naught. His
woman's home is now a hotel owned by
somebody else. His cathedral city
schools have not prospered. His wild
ow's provision has melted away, and
the man whom he sought to enrich has
only a remnant left of the score or so
of millions that went to him, while
even the great business that he organ
lied for wealth production was long
ago abandoned as no longer profitable.
Peter Cooper had the grit of making
money, and he had also a positive gen.
He devoted his wealth to the work Of
giving others an opportunity to help
themselves, and so wisely did he man
age the matter that his benefaction is
not only permanent, but is growing in
volume, precisely as wealth wisely in
vested for money-making purposes
does.
The methods of the two men illus
trates what seems to be the Iundamen-
tai condition of success or failure in
good works. Stewart grew rich by
discovering, trusting and utilizing the
abilities of other men. Stewart gave
no man in his employ any discretion
whatever, but controlled every detail
himself. In the same way, Peter
Cooper after broadly outlining his
charities, committed the details of
their administration to the discretion
of those who were to come after him,
with conspicuous success as the re-
suit. Stewart sought to control the
details of his benefactiOns precisely as
he lad controlled those of his money
making business, and the result was
one &C the completest and most la
mentabie failures ever known.-New
York World.

Sheriff ATTEMPTS to Attach RAILWAY
Train and Gets Very Much Left.

Bishopville, O., May 15.-Something
rather novel, both in railway and legal
circles, took place here yesterday. 1t
was sheriff attaching, or rather try
Ing to attach a railway train.
The Toledo and Ohio Central Exten-
sion railroad, which passes through
here, owes the county about $4,000 back
taxes. Several Intellectual attempts
have been made to collect them, and
failure caused the county officials TO
take decided measures.
AS south-boun local was passing
through Amesyille, a few miles south
OF here, the sheriff of Athens county
and his deputies held 1t up, and attach
ed It, TO keep their booty, strong
chains were produced and the engine
and cars securely bound TO the track.
The crew fused and fumed, but stay
uher they must until the arrival of the
regular north-bound train, which car
rles the mail. The crew OF the north
bound, however, knew a thing or two,
and getting wind of the proposed hold
up, stopped 1t as effectually as a bat
terry of Gatling guns owuld have done.
The mail car was taken from its usual
place at hte head o the train, and
placed at the rear. Stopping the
United States mails was something
that even the sheriff of Athens county
did not dare attempt, and so the train
proceeded without further interruption
The sheriff was determined to take
one mere chance. An excursion train
was due in few minutes. ana with his
deputies waited its approach. But
on cemOre he was doomed to disap-
pointment, for the conductor, getting a
tip as to the proposed scheme, shot
through the station at the rate OF a
mile a minute, and pulled into Morgan
where the sheriff could not fol-
oW them.
The outcome Of the novel war Is be-
ng watched with a great deal OF inter-
st by the people OF this vicinity.

DEWEY's STORY OF II.

Say, Dewey" says l, in a neighborly
way,
To the admiral quietly loafing one day
And resting from labor out Philippine
way,
A little bit sea worn, little bit gray,
In the time that had passed since the
great First Of May,
II wisn you would tell us of just what
occurred
Out there at Manila; for what we have
Is second hand mostly, and that isn't
what
The folks want to hear when they
want it right hot
We know you sWatted the Spaniards
all around
The Bay of Manila; how you wiped up
the ground
And the sea and SO forth with all that
Spain had
In manner to make the Spanish feel
bad;
We know that you floated the flag a
notch higher
Than it ever fioated, and we never can
tire
OF singing your praises for what you
have done
To nanghty CASTLE and to proud Ara
gon,
And we're anxious to listen--to hear it
from you
Who has thrown a new light on the
Red, White and Blue"
Then Dewey he blushed and he
squirmed in his chair
And said that we gave him too much
for his share.
But that didn't COVE insisted the
more,
Till pleading had grown to be quite a
bore,
And then he submitted and yielded his
hold,
And this is the story the admiral told;
That was all there was to ii. We only
heard that
And we knew If George wasn't born a
diplomat,
That the story we got of the scrap in
the bay
Showed well defined symptoms that
way

THANhSGTFING.

by ELIZABETH ROBERTS MACDONALD.
When beechen leaves are brown
And barberries bright as coral,
Let US forget the froWn
or fate, and the longed-for laurel
Come where the naples burn
In crimson and golden glory
That Earth may hold in her Urn
The ashes Of Summers story.
Faithless the birds depart
with musical chirp and twittcr,
And Nature folds to her heart
Alike the sweet and bitter,
Then sing in Autumn's praise,
Nor shrink from the colder corner,
The 10y Of these shining days
Is deep as the bliss of Summer.
Winter In graves OF snow
Nav bury. but hide them never
For safe i'm our hearts shall glow
The light they have brought Forever
The woods the hill rejoice.
Each leaf a mute thanksgiving;
We sing with grateful voice
The pure delight Of living

OUNCES IN ONE DAY.
From knowledge.
These are the days OF penny in the SLOT
and possibly every one weighs very frequently
for his own amusement. Even IL the machines
are not very accurate. the probability is tha,
if you weigh regularly on the same machine
YOU can see correctly whether you Increase or
diminish in weight. We are not concerned here
with the steady increase or diminution in weight
at various times Of the year or before and after
an illness, but want to draw attention 10 the
fact that in health We vary in weight from
hour to hour, and that this does not seem to be
recognized IL is strange to see what absurd
fallacies occupy the popular mind. Apropos Of
the subject OF this paper II has been seriously
asserted by many people that you are naturally
lighter after meal, and they nave even gone
the length Of explaining this by the amount Of
gas that is developed from the food. These PEG.
ple must be very uncomfortable after meals
1t reminds one rather OF the famous fallacy sad
to have been submitted TO the Royal Society
asking why a fish could be put into bash
brimful of water without making IL run over
When il was tried al some ones suggestion The
water of course did run over
Surprising want TO find whether We DO
really vary in weight or not there are Two
ways 10 set about the inquiry. We can either
sit in a weighing machine and live there-which
does not commend itself 10 most Of us-or We
can weigh ourselves at regular times during the
day which is more feasible NO" common
sense points out that we must vary IN weight
according TO the amount Of food we take IL
and the amount Of material that We lose. Ii

ranged i'm such a way as. | think, VIII make
them clear. Statistics are always pdihlul. IN

Schooling who certainly can make statistics
attractive But perhaps the most convenient
method Is to look at the summary diagram

in figures without much ditiiculty.
