SYNONYM for Failure.

Democratic success always means de-
preston in business, ruin to thousands,
the closing of factories in this country
and increased activity for them in Eng
land, and the consequent filling of this
country with idle men and the assem-
bling Of vast industrial armies;" that
is, masses of men who want to be in
dustrious but are debarred by Demo-
cratic policies. So well is this under
stood that some years ago to say that
a business enterprise had 'gone Demo
cratic" was recognized as the same
thing as saying that it had failed. The
experience of the country with Repub-
lican prosperity following the long
gloom of Democratic business depres-
sion all over the country has given en-
phasis to that saying.-Salt Lake City
Tribune.

taught school in 1886. The remaining
1900 900 will be disposed Of in dona-
tons which have not as yet been an
nounced. On this account it is his in
tention to require an annuity of per
cent, or $4,000 a year, payable up to
the time Of the death Of himself and
wife. This will allow them to live as
they please and watch the good results
from their munificent gifts. 1t has
never cost them more than $500 a
year to live, SO on the income they have
provided for themselves they will no
doubt continue their giving, which has
really now become habit. The doctor
says, however, that he considers he is
entitled to an amount that will allow
him and his wife to live as they please,
oven at the Waldorf-Astoria if they
wish. They never had any children,
and when their earthly lives are closed
their entire fortune will be in use for
the benefit Of humanity.

AS to what it has been telling it's pa

there is no doubt Of that, and it was

ment of millions Of formerly idle men.

| Cotton is worth nearly three cents

short wheat crops, but from entirely
different causes.
| Protection to American industries
and workingmen and the establish
ment of honest money are the causes
of our prosperity. Short crops increase
for a time the price of wheat, but the
protection and renewed confidence
which followed the defeat of the free
silver heresy are responsible for all the
rest of the improved conditions and
their continuance.--Tacoma (Wash.)

a REMARKABLE MAN.

Dr. Pearsons, of Chicago, Who 10 CIV.
iuu Away the Fortune He Made.
D. *. Pearsons, of Chicago, seems
determined to follow the Carnegie idea
and not die rich. He has already given
away two or three millions to educa-
tional institutions, and still has mil
lion or two more, which he purposes 70
send in the way of the others gone be-
fore. DIR. Pearsons went to Chicago
to reside in April, 1860. In his satcnei
DR.. Pearsons carried $1,000, which ne
had saved up in ten years medlcal
practice in Chicopee, Mass He ana
his wife had some distant relatives I'D
Chicago, but they had made up their
minds not to go to them, although they
knew, practically, no one else tnere.
Their relatives had discouraged the
doctor from going West. They did nor
think he was fitted to get along In the
hustle and scramble of a growing city,
and advised him to stick to his country
practice. But the doctor succeeded,
and made money rapidly in many ways,
and did good with every dollar of it.
In 1890 the doctor came to the con-
clusion that the time had arrived Tor
him to begin giving away his fortune.
He followed the plan that he and his
wife had formed after they had reached
Chicago in 1860. He has never been
member of any religious denomination,
but all his gifts have been to those in
situations having religious affiliations.
From 1890 to 1900 the doctor has given
away $2,50O,OOO Of his fortune and has
perhaps 81, 100000 left.
Four years ago DR.. Pearsons had his
tombstone erected in Hinsdale Gene
tery, as he desired to have all his af-
fairs arranged before he died. The
granite for this monument was brought
from Barre, VT, where the doctor

Not Fit to Print.

Protection at best is demoralizing
serts. A paper that makes such an as
sertion as that obviously ought not to
take for it's motto, sAll the news that's
fit to print" For the statement that
protection at best is a demoralizing
thing is piece Of news that is unfit
to print, since it is bogus news. If the
Times will carefully study the history
of the rise and progress of the United
States of America it will discover that
protection has made it possible to de-
yelop our industries, and by so doing
has made this nation one Of the most
prosperous in the world.-New York

A dozen or more years ago farmer
twisted bit of iron about wire fence,
and noticed that his cattle avoided it.
Thus originated the use of the barbed-
wire fence, which has cut the great
free prairies into ranches. 1t has LAGER
ated and cut from water countless num-
bers OF the wild animals that once
'roamed the prairies, and is now classed
as war material by the nations. Both
in Cuba and in South Africa the de-
moralization wrought by the deadly
barbed-wire fence was greater than
that Of the most improved guns and
powder. The position of fence-cutter
has promoted the drummer-bOy into
the forefront of danger. When Lieut..
Ord led his men in a rush up San Juan
hill, a boy private by his side fell, NOR
tally wounded. Ord heard his faint
cry and paused in his rush to say, My
poor fellow, / can do nothing for you.
II did not call you back for that was
the brave reply. Il am done for; but
take my steel nippers. There may be
another fence beyond that hill, and l
won't be there to cut it for you" The
boy livedto hear the shout Of victory,
but the gallant leader, with the boy $
nippers in his hand and the boys deVo-
ton last in his heart, lay dead not many
yards away.

Hunting Rabbits with a Hose.

Boys in Nebraska, ferretless coun-
try, carry with them when hunting a
coil of hose about an inch in diameter,
which they pay out down a rabbit hole
until the bottom is reached, meanwhile
drawing the mouth of sack over the
hole. A cheerful shout down the hose
brings the rabbit out at his best pace
plump into the sack. The hose evil

the ferret, with no vexatious delays.

ed By Prof. Sumner What is the use
of getting excited about the marriage

It is on record that Mary's little lamb.
when it followed her to school, made
the children laugh and play" and con-
sequently had to be turned out by the
teacher. But it is also on record that
in Boston there are several schools
which have regularly maintained such
pets as cats, guinea pigs and rabbits.
and have allowed these animals to play
freely about the school rooms, without
any disconcerting or time-wasting eff
feet. 1t is even asserted that the pres
ence Of the dependent and loving little
creatures had beneficial effect on the
schools. They taught the little city
children how animals familiar to coun-
try people look, and also, by arouslng
their affection, inclined the hearts OF
rough children to humanity and tender
ness. There was just enough recrea-
ton In the presence of the animals to
do the children good, without distract
ing them unduly. The animals were,
in the midst Of the slums Of the city, a
connecting link between the children
and Gods beautiful natural world. 1t
may not be practicable to provide all
schools with animal pets, and in the
country it may be quite superfuous to
do so; but the proposition in Boston,
which has the backing Of very distin-
guished man, the Rev. DR.. Edward
Everett Hale, is at least an interesting

The curious grammatical error-al-
most incoherency-of the famous Mon
roe doctrine has often been commented
upon. Something near parallel to it
appears in the recently negotiated
treaty between this country and Great
Britain for the construction and control
Of the Isthmian canal. The text of
that treaty provides that notifications
of it shall be exchanged within six
months of the date hereof, or earlier If
possible!' And the treaty was written
and carefully revised and re-revised by
one of the most accomplished literary
men of the age. 1t is perhaps because
the slip is SO obvious that 1t passed

The greatest evil Of divorce is the
one of which little is said-the catas-
trophe to the children from the disrup-
ton of the family. An instance from
current New York life will illustrate
better than thousand generalities: In
divorce suit that created great deal
Of talk not long ago the court gave the
father custody Of the children. He has
put them in charge of one OF his fe-
male relatives. The younger child is
a little girl just old enough to write in
a large scrawling hand and to read
words of one syllable If the type is
large and her mind not too tired. A
few DAYS ago, about midnight, the
nursery governess missed the child.
She was not in her little bed, not in
her room, not in the houSe-and the
front door was unaccountably open.
The governess ran into the street and
to the corner, where she presently saw
under a street lamp far down the block
a small figure marching sturdily away
from "home" through the lonely,
"bogy"- haunted darkness. The gov
erness called, the child looked back and
then ran on until one Of her shoes came
off. This enabled the governess quick
ly to overtake her. She had on her
hat. a coat buttoned all awry over her
night gown. She had not stopped to
put ON her stockings or to button her
shoes. "Oh, let me go onv' she Sob
bed. "Why, where do you want to go,
you naughty little grip said the gov
erness. II waited till you were asleep
replied the child, land then I started
out to find my mamma" And they
had thought that the child had forgot
ten because they had told her never
to speak Of her mother and she had
said nothing about her for more than
six months. There is much brave talk
about supreme duty to ones own in
dividuality' and about "the irrepressi-
BILE conflict of hostile teInperaments."
But it sinks away into shamefaced
silence before the appealing voice Of a
forlorn little child looking for her lost
mother.
