The story is that a young man in
North Andover advertised for a wife,
under an assumed name. and his sis
ter answered the advertisement, also
under an assumed name. Then photo
graphs were exchanged. and now the
young man thinks there is no balm in
advertisements and the old people
think it is pretty hard to have two fools
in one family.

You might remember this: Some
women in marrying demand all and
give all; with good men they are hap
pv; with base men they are broken
hearted. Some demand everything
and give little; with weak men they
are tyrants; with strong men they are
divorced. Some demand little and
give all; with congenial souls they
are already in heaven: with uncon-
genial they are soon in their graves.
Some give little and demand little:
they are the heartless and they bring
neither the JOY Of life nor the peace Of
death"

Never 20 into battle merely to
show that you are not a coward; that
OF itself shows what coward YOU are.
Do not misunderstood me- Whether
you be men or women you will never
do anything in the world without
courage. 1t is the greatest quality Of
mind-next TO honor 1t is your
king. But the king must always have
a good cause. Many good king has
persisted in bad one: and this nobest
virtue of courage has perhaps ruined
more of us than any other that we
possess. You know what character
the kings used always to have at their
courts. have told you a great deal
about him. 1t was the Fool. Do yod
know what parsonage it is that Cour-
age, the king, is apt to have in the
Court of the Mind? 1t is the Fool al
so. Lay these words away; you will
understand them better when you are
older and you will need to understand
them very well.-John Gray in the

AUTOMOBILE ADVANTAGES.

Hygienic conditions of large cities
will be improved and the cost of street
cleaning decreased.
The wear and tear on pavements and
streets will be reduced and the use of
rubber tires will lessen the noise in the
crowded streets.
Traffic in cities will not be so con-
gested, owing to the saving in room
now occupied by the horse. When we
consider that there are approximately
two hundred thousand horses used in
New York City alone, and that horse
increases the length of unit by nine
feet, it can be readily appreciated how
great saving will be effected.
When the use of automobiles has be-
come more general the cost of opera
tions will be reduced.
Danger of accident from runaways
will be eliminated.

There never was a more mistaken ex-
penditure of sympathy than that extend
ed to the Beers, unless that sympathy
is based upon their stubborn, honest
adherence to primitive ideas. The
idea of depriving Englishmen of the
right of trial by an impartial jury; of a
tribe of simple farmers and herdsmen
ruling with absolutism a prosperous
city, taxing the citizens extortionately,
and not allowing them so much as to
choose policeman, deposing an honest
Judge because they could not dictate
his decisions, arresting Englishmen for
treason" who resisted their tyranny.
1t is simply impossible for such prim-
tive tribal oligarchy to set itself against
the progress of civilization without
compelling a conflict to itself. No
American community would stand, half
as long, what the English have stood.
So long as the Beers were apart by
themselves, not interfering with pro-
gress, property rights and Anglo-Saxon
| liberty they were safe from interference.
| If they would allow other citizens the
rights of citizens they would be safe
from disturbance. But no tribe any
where can set itself against the laws
and Justice of civilization, and not be
crushed. 1t is dreadful pity that con-
flict has come. We fully sympathize
with the spirit of independence for
which they are willing to fight and die.
But they are mistakenly applying it.

NUMBER 90.
Mr.. ROBINSON'S VIEW.
He Thinks England Has Foe Worthy
of Her Prowess.

Mr.. j. B. Robinson, a South Africa
millionaire, gives his views of the Beers
and their ability as fighters, as follows:
have no hesitation in saying, from
knowledge and experience of Boer war;
fare, that England has never encoun-
tered body OF men who will fight with
such tenacity and such dire results as
the Boer army. 1t must be remember
ed that these people are fighting with a
discrimination to gain the ascendancy
throughout South Africa, and their
proclamations, assuming British terri
tory, clearly indicate that they are re-
solved to establish themselves as q per-
manent power. The numbers of the
forces given as constituting the two
armies of. the Transvaal and the Orange
Free State are grossly exaggerated. l
maintain that the two republics can not
put more than %, 900 or 25,OOO men in
the field. But they may have the ad-
dition of 5000 mercenaries. They are
all splendidly armed, and the artillery
forms an important element Of the
armaments. The Tranvaal has expend-
ed, within three years, about SO, 900, 900
in armament and in equipping its own
and the Free States burghers. I know
that cannon were sent by the Transvaal
to the Orange Free State, and every
preparation was made to carry or the
struggle with the utmost dissemination.
The Natal country is well adapted to
the Boer tactics.

Cost of Living Abroad.

An investigation into the compara-
tive cost of living at the various Eu-
ropean capitals resulted in the follow
ing facts: At Vienna the prices of most
articles Of food are lowest. At Madrid
they are dearer than in any other capi-
tai, and such things as bread, meat,
sugar and coal are very expensive in
deed. At St. Petersburg also the price
Of bread is still considered a luxury
above the means Of the working class
es. Next to Vienna, Brussels is an in
expensive city; Paris is little higher
In the scale, while London is still more
expensive.
An American spends on an average
$50 a year for food, Frenchman $4S,
"a German $45, Spaniard $33, an 1tal-
ian S24 and a Russian $40. OF meat
the American eats 100 pounds year,
the Frenchman 81 pounds, the German
GA pounds, the Italian % pounds and
the Russian 81 pounds. OF bread the
American consumes $50 pounds, the
Frenchman $40 pounds, the German
$50 pounds, the Spaniard 4S0 pounds,
the Italian 400 pounds and the Russian
G55 pounds.
Outside of Europe, Manila Is cheaper
| to live in than any other city in the
world.

But what reader of THE INTERIOR is
there who has not need for just such
grateful Acknowledgements? The COM
mon blessings of our common, daily life
deserve an acknowledgment we are all
too slow to accord. Our men of war are
become our preachers. We see Captain
Phillip on his powder-stained deck lift
his hat among his men, returning in
simplest language thanks for preserva-
ton amid the perils of battle; and now
we see our worthy Admiral, as eminent
for craftsmanship as conspicuous for
courage, kneeling in the house of God
the first Sunday he is fairly on shore, to
bless God for his protecting hand and
safe deliverance. And how many "big
boys" may read this to their shame,
having dropped the habit which the
greatest of our heroes publicly conserves
MAY God be thanked we have still
among us men who know how to fight 6
good fight both on the decks of oul
battleships and in the inner life where
spiritual foes asail.-Chicago Interior

KNOCKING OUT A TRUST.

In the battle against trusts, one of the
difficulties has been to enforce state
laws concerning their organization
Out in Illinois, the law prohibits one
company or corporation from selling
out to another in the same line of busi-
ness. Of course, the dodge was en-
ployed of selling to one person, and
then having him transfer the property
to the purchasing company. But the
Illinois supreme court has stopped this
in descision of farreaching import
ance.
The American Glucose company has
huge plant at Peoria, which was sold
to the Glucose Sugar Refining company
for two million dollars. The latter is a
trust, Incorporated in 1897 in New Jersey,
with twenty millions capital. 1t bought
up six plants, the Peoria one being the
largest. A Chicago stockholder of the
latter brought suit to prevent its trans
fer to the trust, and the supreme court
has decided in his favor.
That part of the decision which deals
with the contract for the sale of the
Peoria company says:
The evidence shows that the manu-
facturer of glucose and grape sugar and
their products is confined to certain
corn belt, where corn is raised, and
that this district is embraced within
the territory specified within the con-
tract of August IL, 1897; that is to say,
within radius of 1,50O miles of Chi
lcago.
AS the evidence in the record tends
to show that glucose can only be manu-
factured successfully within this radius,
the agreement not to manufacture and
sell it therein amounted IN effect to an
. agreement in total or general restraint
of trade; hence the agreement was void
and stamps the transaction of which it
was part as illegal.
, The court holds also that the stock
holders of the Peoria company could
!. not be compelled to sell their stock to
the trust, and accept their share of the
price offered. He has a right to hold
his investment in the form of stock, and
a change in such investment is one
which effects his pecuniary interests;
and the court declares that the indi-
: vidual stockholder is the only judge
whether the change shall be made.
This decision is of the highest import
ance, for it strikes at the root of the
:, trusts. 1t upholds the law that one
= company cannot buy up another CON-
Ipany in the same line of business. A
:, trust is really corporation organized
to buy up all the companies, or major
:, ity of them, in one line of business. OF
. course, the Glucose trust will take the
. case to the United States supreme court
> and if that tribunal upholds the Illinois
% law, as is altogether probable, no trusts
: can exist in that state. Then other
r states have but to- adopt similar law
to deal the trusts the severest possible

THE ADMIRAL'S THANKSGIVING.

The great pageant was ended; the
beautiful arch stood unnoted amid the
rush of traffic; the fleet which had cov-
cred the broad waters of the bay was
scattered and dissolved. From the east
front of the capitol one looked out upon
the beautiful lawn and saw nothing of
the shouting thousands, the troopers or
the artillery. The priceless sword had
been deposited for safe keeping in some
burglar-proof vault; the vase of solid
silver which four men could scarce lift
was taken away wrapped in its soft en-
foldings, and the loving cup of pure gold
was shut tight in it's casket of satin
lined morocco. The great festivities
were things of the past and the noblest
triumph accorded to any modern victor
had died out in the "light of common
play"
But the American citizen who had for
so many days constituted the center OF
these innumerable hosts had one chosen
wish still to fill; and the worshipers in
modest urban chapel saw him bowed
on his knees while the rector at the
desk read ''by request" the words oi
devout thanksgiving: "Most gracious
Lord, whose mercy is over all thy work
we praise thy holy name that thou has
been pleased to conduct in safety,
through the perils of the great deer
this thy servant, who now desireth te
return thanks unto thee in thy holy
church. May he be duly sensible o
thy merciful providence toward him
and ever express his thankfulness by 6
holy trust in thee, and obedience to thy
laws, through Jesus Christ our Lord
| Amen" 1t is the best and most fitting
close to a splendid and most memorable
| incident.

AN AUTUr1N SCENE.

In the wood brown nuts are falling;
From the vale is heard the calling
OF the quail;
In the hedgerow sits the rabbit
Happy he Of patient habit
Cottontail.
To the southwark winging weary,
Thro' the sky o'ercast and dreary,
Flies the crow;
And the red squirt from his station,
Which he deems safe elevation,
Peeps below.
Now the busy bee thinks funny,
That he can't get any honey;
Stupid bee!
What he's gathered from the clover;
1t will last till winters over;
Lucky he!
From the cornfield come the merry
Voices Of Tom, Dick, and Jerry,
Husking corn;
While they wait for echoes rhyming
OF that dear old welcome Ginning
Dinner horn,
Days OF sad regretful dreaming;
Nights when stars are brightest cleaning
In the sky;
And e'en now the small boys signing
For the snow which will be flying,
By and by.

''Can you support her if consent to

81 could" was the brief reply.
"Oh, thank your said the hopeful
young man. "I'-

take his seat in Congress and then re-
sign, Utah to send representative in
his stead. If this is done, it will be in

THE SAILORS DIRGE.


Meath the wave he lieth low,
None his sepulcher may know,
Crs died sweet on oceans breast,
Whom he loved the fondest, best,
Why for him the tears outpour?
Weep for those that wait on shore.
Naught recks he of wind or tide,
Shadowing fleets that oversize
Blackening hulls beneath the wave,
Foeman moldering in the grave;
Naught to him the savage gun,
Wrack of death or victory won;
Coral wreaths that tropic tomb,
Phospher candles light the gloom,
Boom of surf, the atoll's knell-
Thus the hero slumbereth well.
