The TRUTH ABOUT JOHN BLAIR.

(From the Public. Chicago.
IL Is ungrseiOus 70 speak Ill, however
Justly, OF the dead. But when the death
Of rich man Is made the occasion,
merely because he was rich, for holding
him up TO the young as an example, as
the eulOgists are doing with the late
John /. Blair, Il Is better that the IN
pleasant truth be spoken. Mr.. Blair
was rich; he gathered his wealth him.
self; he expended some OF IL for ehsri-
table uses. That Is about the best that
can be said Of him In bis general rels-
tons with his fellow men. The rest OF
the picture Is dark. In gathering his
wealth he spread poverty shout him like
8 blight. For three-qusrters OF century
his mind seemed 20 De centred upon the
one idea Of acquiring other peoples prop
erty legally for less than its value. From
his younger days, when as villsge mer.
chant he laid the foundation Of his fort
une by turning store accounts into notes
and notes into farm mortgages and out
Of farm mortgages squeezing farms. he
never gave indication Of 4 nobler sspirs-
ton than 20 build his own fortune higher
upon the ruin OF smaller ones. To this
pursuit OF tainted wealth he was 30 ig-
nobly devoted that even his coufederstes
dared not trust him. For 3 fortune so
acquired, no amount OF pietistic philsn-
thropy with = percentage OF the pro-
ceeds can atone. God help the coming
generations Of this country IL they learn
20 look upon John |. Blair as model.
His life Was wasted life. IL Was an
utter failure. Aud so il should be con-
sidered by the world from which he has
gone.

IpYL OF A SEWING MACHINE.

A Maine sewing machine agent tells
that the husband Of one woman on his
travels bought brand new up-to-dste
sewing machine for her "a a holiday
gift-snd the old one was turned in So
part payment. The woman WAS as
pleased as woman can well be with the
new macbine-all flashing bright, and
glistening with new vsrnish and smell
ing fresh and smart. But when they
bundled the old, worn, scratched una
chine out of the room 20 load il on the
cart she made sudden leap, threw her
arms around il and kissed IL with the
tears running down her fsce. II hate 10
have IL 60" she half-shamefaeedly ex-
planned. Honestly, IL seems just as
though they were carrying out an old
friend In his casket." And she could
hardly understand her own tears. But
that old machine had made the garments
for the boys now grown 20 manhood,
had been her companion in her lonely
hours when It's homely buzzing kept her
company and growled accompaniment
TO the songs OF young mstronhoOd, and
those tears told one reason why the New
England home Is home that fills every
heart. The ties there even embrace the
old rag carpets and the sewing machine.
The passing Of q chair grown rickety In
its old age Is family grief In the old
Yankee home. And what's more elo-
quent Of the old home ties than this idyl
of the old sewing machine?

years than the pictorial section, which Is
now a fixed feature Of the Boston Sun
dsy Herald. Unlike many attempts
made in the same direction, The Herald
varies the character Of the contents each

In it. The comic element Is bright and
original, and furnishes enough food for
merriment to last week. The Herald
Is certainly advancing In all the depart
ments which have made 1t New Eng
lands greatest newspaper, and in the
new departure, upon which we have laid
special stress, The Herald should not
only win the approval Of the Herald's
old clientele, but attract q host OF
