An odd Mail Package.

Strange articles occasionally find
their way into the mail boxes. One
package mailed in New York wa s, to
all appearance, very glad TO get out
from among its Uncongenial surround
ings. A collector one day, on opening
a mail box, found everything within it
IN motion He began to take out the
contents, and was startled BY hearin z
shTiu yelp- A moment later a TIM ?
pup POked its nose through the parcels.
1t seemed delighted to see q human
face again, after its sojourn among
papers and parcels. It was carefully
tagged for a western city, and on the
tag was a two-cent stamp. The col
lectOr took It TO the station to which he
belonged, and as there is no provision
for sending dogs by mail, It was kept
at the Ofhce.-YOuth's Companion.

DEWEY HONE

While the people of the United
States are exultant over the return Of
Admiral Dewey, they should pause
long enough in their excitement
to push aside the emblazoned cur
tains Of the admiral's glory and look
upon the men that made possible
the hero Of Manila bay. The brave
men that did his bidding with exaction;
that sent those pOnderOus projectiles
unerringIy at the foe, each a factor in
the devastation; that dared place their
lives on the alters Of their country
these, let it be known, are the prOjeni-
tors Of his fame.
The barefOOted troops who left their
tracks in blood on the frozen ground
in the winter quarters at Valley Forge
we're the heroes that, by keeping the
fires Of patriotism burning brightly en-
dured the gloom, and reared to emin-
enee 'The Father of His Country;;" and
the meE whose lives were snuffed out
at the battles Of Gettysburg, of Wilder
ness, of Vicksburg, themselves perish
ing, yet made immortal the name Of
Grant
The world scares nothing for royal
blood or men Of high state except it be
linked with heroic action. Caste and
social position fade into nothingness
before the spIendor Of the conqueror,
and George Dewey is hOnored by high
and low because the noble acts Of all
his seamen are personified in the com
mander.
Yet, Dewey Is a great man. After
more than 60 years of waiting he seized
the occasion by the fOrelOck, and hence
forth his name viii be committed to
the roll Of hOnOrto keep company with
such as Alexander, Caesar, Nelson.
But what stunned his worshippers,
anticipating the greatest ado ever
made over a single man in this nation
when his good ship should be deserted
in the distance, was his advent in New
York harbOr two days before he was
expected He caught them knappinR
as completely as he did MOntejo on the
trst Of May one year ago. Dewey's
msneuyers are as unlocked for as a
Jack in the Box" But his early com
ing adds significance to his greatness.
He is one Of those singular characters

Demand Younger Men.

The question, what shall we do with
our boys?" no longer has any signif-
canoe. The real problem to-day is,
What is to become of the old and mid
die aged men?" The boys are doing
we'll enough. They are crowdinR out
their elders. In all lines of business
the demand is for young men. There
is no room for the man of mature years
in the active occupations of life. His
gray hares may speak of experience,
but employers will have none Of him.
Unfortunate is the lot Of the man who,
having devoted the best years of his
life to the pursuit Of an honorable cal
ling, finds himself out of employment.
Twenty five years ago his record Of
long service would have been a recon-
mendatiOn which would have helped
him to a new position. To-day it is his
worst handicap. He finds on every
hand that younger men are wanted,
and If be obtain work at all it is likely
to be at a salary out Of all proportion
to his experience. He is looked upon
as "a back number" Il can't get
work" said a man who is out Of en-
pIoyment for the first time in his life.
Il have a thorough knowledge Of my
business in all its details. I have
worked for the same firm for % years,
and if it had not gone out Of business
I should be with it still. I have the
highest recommendations as to ability
and character, but no one will have
me. They all tell me, more or less
bluntly, that, though my experience Is
valuable, my age is against me. They
say frankly that they want none but
young men. What am to do? I can't
learn a new business, and even If 1
we're to do so I should be no better of.

Certain currency reformers are ad-
vocating q law permitting national
banks to issue circulating notes to the
par value Of their bonds. It is difficult
to see the necessity Of such legislation
when it is noted that the banks do not
now approach the 90 per cent limit at
which their circulation is fixed. In
stead Of evincing a desire to issue
more notes they have been steadily re-
dueing the outstanding volume.
