A. @. Bartlett, of Chicago, gave the
students of Western university some
excellent advice in an address on TRADE
VS.. Profession" His object was to
check the too common tendency in our
colleges to exalt the professional above
the business career and so to inculcate
q lesson that must be learned later
through the hard blows Of experience
il it is ignored while an academical edu-
cation is being acquired. The literary
atmosphere Of the university generally
encourages contempt for trade. So
far as the feeling Is directed against
mere money getting for the moneys
sake it is wholesome, but the time
passed long ago when the college
course could be regarded only as
preparation for the law, medicine, the
ology and teaching. The ambition to
secure what is called the higher educa
ton is now so widespread that If every
aspirant were to look to the professions
for support the supply of these young
apprentices would exceed the demand
to a perilous extent. Starving lawyers,
doctors and teachers would Increase
with really alarming rapidity. While
there has been a recognition Of the fact,
the old influences are still at work, and
the country could furnish many a pite-
GUS story as consequence. The col
lege graduate with his academical ira
ditiOns Is too often man of disappOint-
ed hopes, who has been compelled to
reconstruct his views of life and fit him
self anew for the task Of breadwinning
Nor Is it strange that In the endeavor
he sometimes surrenders to hurtful
cynicism and during the reaction be-
comes the victim of a distorted judg-
ment which causes him to undertake
what he had formerly overrated. But
1t lis gratifying to note at the same time
a greater influx Of educated men in the
business world, and as their numbers
increase there will be still more rad
ical revolt against the old college idea,
for nothing Is so impressive as example.
When students appreciate not only that
a business career offers more chances
for making good living than any 9TH
er, but also that it's prizes are eagerly
sought by many of the most prominent
members OF the college brotherhood,
every trace Of ancient prejudice will
disappear. The truth Is that business is
now splendid field for the exercise Of
the highest powers Of judgment, organi-
cation and administration. It attracts
the talent and ability that went for
merly into politics and the army and is
Oac9 SiOna11v tho incniro f3ar Pow uocI
genius. Supercilious contempt for 1t IS
not only ridiculous but must recoil ON
those who profess the sentiment. They
are sure to hear of comparisons that are
odious.

Stephen e. Burch, a well-to-do farm
or near Topaz, Mo-, is evidently a man
Of practical turn Of mind. Recently
he turned up in the guise of tramp
seeking for work at the farm of Peter
Greenawalt, near Huron, S. D. After
working few weeks he and the farm
er's pretty daughter, Mary, disappear
ed, and nothing was heard from them
until Mr.. Greenawalt received let
ter from his daughter at Topaz saying
that she was Mrs. Burch, the two hav-
ing been married at Kansas City. Later
1t was learned that Burch had been
looking up a wife for some time dis
guised as tramp. He said he wished
to see girls just as they really were
and not ON their parlor behavior. He
studied Miss Greenawalt closely, found
that she was smart girl and fine
housekeeper, and made her plain
business proposition, which she prompt
ly accepted. There is much that is
commendable in this businesslike way
of getting a wife. and Mr.. and Mrs.
Burch probably will get along as well
and be just as happy as If their mar
riage were one of those matches made
In heaven"

always the case In year of phenomen-
ally abundant crops. Secretary CoDurh
reminds the farmers that there has new
er been season of unusual productlon
and low prices for corn which has not
been followed IN the near future by
year Of comparative scarcity and cor
respondingly higher prices: and there
is no reason to believe that the present
one will prove an exception to this hitn-
erto unbroken rule. His advice to the
farmers is, therefore, that they should
market no more Of their corn than -
necessary to meet their expenses he
truthfully says that they would rightly
have considered themselves favored
and prosperous with yield 1OO,OOO,oOO
bushels less than that which they now
have. If they were to hold this extra
1OO,OO0O0O bushels in substantial, rat
proof cribs on the farms for year or
two, as they could very comfortably do,
it would not only relieve the downward
tendency In prices caused by the pres
ent glut in the market, but would help
to steady and confirm the price OF the
remainder. Moreover, when the lean
years come, and prices advance, the
farmers, and not the spectators, Will
be masters Of the situation, and win
reap the profits. The suggestion is en-
inently sensible. To adopt 1t Is merely
to use that prudence and business sa-
gacity by which men in other occupa-
tons achieve commercial success. It
needs no argument to show that the
man who will make money when corn
advances will be the man who has the
corn. Why should not that man be the
farmer who raised It?

Whenever there is profit to be made
out of public work the temptation to
lie, bride and steal Is often too strong
for the average man to resist, and 1t
has come to pass that many men plead
necessity as excuse or justification.
They must do wrong or go out OF
business, which, of course, is no excuse
at all. In this respect business Is cor

To Enlarge the White House,


The problem of charging the
White House without DESTROY
ing the noble lines of the pres
sent historic mansion or subor-
dinating it, is thus successfully
solved in the November Ladies'
Home Journal. The plans pre-
sented by Colonel Theodore A.
Brigham, the government oth-
cial in charge of the White
House, provide for an imposing
building, COMFORTING with our
national dignity, and Offering
the President ample office space
and living room under one roof.
In the same issue of the mag
azine "The Loveliest Woman in
All America" gives a charming
pen-picture Of Emily Marshall,
whose transcendent beauty was
so much admired three-quarters
OF a century ago. The personal
and artistic sides Of Ethelbert
Nevin, the composer, are also
brought to light in "The Man
Who Wrote Narcissus, " and the
ether notable features "The
Story of a Young Man" by
Clifford Howard ; "The Success
sors of Mary the First" by
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps "Blue
River Bear Stories," by the
author of "When Knightbood
was in Flower" and "Josiah
Allan's Wife's" fourth visit,
will be read with interest and
enjoyment. Edward Box con-
dennis the lack of taste shown
in furnishing American homes.
The Photographic views of "The
Most Artistic House in New
York City" cover two pages,
and will prove a revelation. A
page drawing by A. B. Frost
shows his country folks "Wait-
ing for the Mail" a remarkably
interesting illustration. There
are plans for ga Quaint, Old
