will be scarcely a woman in the United
States so devoid of patriotism as not
to wish to cast her vote for one or the
other of the presidential candidates.
1t is because women long to assist

on public questions that they form
their political organizations. open their
headquarters, fly their banners, wear
their badges, send out their literature,
make speeches and march in process

The party leaders welcome all the
grist which comes to their mill: they
do not reject any fuel which makes
steam; they accept every element
which increases the enthusiasm. and
they honestly desire the sympathy and

The ROAD
TO HEALTH.
BY J. z. Sullivan. President United
States Amateur Athletic Union
and Knickerbocker Ath-
letic Club.

The season OF the year is at hand
when every young man should look
about him for the nearest gymnasium.
There is no doubt that nine-tenths
of the nervous and mental breakdoWns
among our business men could be pre-
vented by a little regular physical ex-
ercise taken every day
Any young man with an ordinary
constitution can easily add ten years to
his life by keeping his body in good
condition The recent death of Will
liam Wood, Americas Oldest athlete.
is a striking instance of the benefit Of
athletics in prolonging life Mr.. Wood
attained the age of eighty-six without
the loss of a day through sickness, and
preserved almost the elasticity OF
youth until his eightieth year.
The streets are thronged with mar
row-chested. dyspeptic, nervous wrecks
TO whom existence is not a pleasure.
They are tormanted with business anx-
night? By the aid Of stimulants-cof-
fee or liquors or drugs-they sustain
themselves for a few unhappy years
and finish with a complete collapse.
Six months at a sanitarium or at some
mineral springs abroad gives a little
strength to their misused bodies and
they return to business and stimu-
Iants only to have more serious
breakdown in a shorter time And
so it continues until death rings down
the curtain.

utes' exercise every morning would

Not one speaks of his fortune as an
remembrance" Not one expresses any
doubt of his ability to manage it much
better than anybody else could. Not
one fails to express highly proper SEN
timents as to his sense of responsible
ity to the less fortunate multitude All
agree that great wealth is a trust,
and it is with a jolly, good-natured air,
which gives the impression that trust
of that kind is not a thing that impairs
the digestion.

whose purse is always open declares:

To-day the main idea is not to show
how much a man can do in a. certain
line of athletics but to make him
stronger and more skilful so that he
can do more than before.
The leading athletic clubs are now
instructing their members how to re-
ceive benefit from the everyday activ-
tiles of the body, such as walking,
breathing, etc A New York club
gives the following advice as regards
breathing:
Not one business man in a thousand
breathes properly. And yet it is the
oxygen of the air that brightens the
blood and makes it Hfe-giving.
Children run and romD and shout
and laugh and cry.
They fill their lungs with air and
empty them almost to the last inch,
maybe twenty times q minute If the
play be violent
They do as nature demands.
But the business man rides when
he can. walks when he must and ex-
erts himself as little as possible.
He breathes from the top Of his lungs
only. The blood that is being pumped
into his lungs every second meets the
languid touch Of vitiated air.
What wonder that there is a dead
ened pulse, a dimmed eye, dabby mus
cles and signs Of premature old age?
That man is poisoning himself.

country in the shape of the now ia

Colonel Astor, when interviewed,
said:
LAS to charity, believe in preven-
ton rather than cure. That is, begin
with children. Do an that is possible
for them. There is more to be accom-
plished there than in working for in

he differs from other members of his
family is that he is a sceptie on the
possibility of really and truly reconcil-
ing Mammon with righteousness.
For his part he has chosen righteous
ness. What is to become of Mammon?
His mind is in a transition stage, in
a state of unrest He has turned his
back on society and dedicated himself
to a life of hard work in the pulpit; but
his ten millions are a burden on his

There may be some light for the per-

THE day is at hand when he who
dies possessed of enormous sums will
die disgraced. The aim of the mil

Russell Sage, the Oldest man in Wall
Street, says of great wealth:
Amy man who has a level head, who
treats his fellow-men in a civil and
courteous manner and spends his
money for laudable purposes cannot
have too much money.
LAS for me, am constantly turning
over my wealth in a way that will help
others. If a man does not do that he
will not be a good citizen"
D. o. Mills, who built the unique
Mills Hotel on New York's Bowery,
where a poor family can live at a very
moderate cost, did not want to give an
opinion on the question, What can a
rich man do?'' Finally he said:
There seems to be a general i'm

money to so-called charitable relief. I
don't All my efforts are directed to
teach the poor the value of saving.

Politics and ponies are the two fads

the latter. Regarding the giving away
of wealth he says:
zone important duty OF the man of

realization of their duty in this regard.

Of the distribution OF surplus wealth.
Every man Of wealth has endless
demands made upon him, and by far
the larger part Of them may be salts

Another thing rich man can do Is

It's the bitter cry of the millionaire
on the eve of the twentieth century.
Alone among American millionaires
the Rev. Arson Phelps Stokes finds his
millions q milestone about his neck.
Il almost wish that I was a poor
man. he exclaimed THE money that
I have inherited is an encumbrance to
me- People Will never forget that
am wealthy and that in spite of all
can do my advent to the priesthood has
been sensational
And what can a rich man do?"
Study and meditation far beyond his
years and the habit of his social or
der have brought the youthful clergy
man to this disquieting point of view
In religion he is a zealot, something of
a mystic One can read it in the earn
est eyes that are set deep beneath his
narrow lofty brow and in the delicate
hrmness Of his not very mobile mouth
1t is a lean, we'll bred face, moulded
by habit in the cast of the ascetic and
visionary. Looking only at the fash
ion of the hair, and of the collar and
tie-those worn before Mr.. Stokes don
ned the linen of holy orders-one might
be reminded of cotilions, coaching par
ties and the rest But the features be-
lie all that.
One finds no trace in them of re-
1
senses; one sees only the scholar, the
votary, the missionary. the purger of
self, the potential martyr.
