The blue pencil apparently didf no,
exist In olden times. We have read
ten pages Of Marcus Aurelius, at q
stretch without understanding n word
Of It. EpIctetus Is equally hard to
read. Marcus Aurelius and EpIctetns
are philosophers without doubt. but
they have a style that gives you q
headache. Both need editing. The
man with the blue pencil should get
after Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus.
Emerson's books also clamor for the
blue pencil Carlyle Is another clumsy
writer greatly In need Of the blue PEN
ell Of a good editor. A wise saying 10
not a matter of faith. Unless you can
see 1t and understand 1t 1t 10 not wise
saying.-Atchison Globe.

THE sEReEANT's GOLD.

@ Never Reached the "Ou1a Folks ~
Home"
Surgeon General Sternberg told q
good story once Of nm experience he
had In the civil war. He said that
when he was going into the battle OF
Bull Run the Irish sergeant major OF
his regiment came to him with big
bag OF gold coin weighing three or
four pounds and said:
Doctor, know that I'm to be kilt
entirely, an I want you to take care
Of this money an see that II gets to
the ould folks at home"
There was no time to demonstrate or
to make any other arrangement, and.
dropping the bag into the surgeons
lap the freshman hurried away TO his
place at the head Of the column. All
through two bloody days DIR. Stern
berg carried that bag Of gold with his
surgical instruments. and It was bur-
den and an embarrassment to him. He
tried to get rid Of II, but couldn't find
any one willing TO accept or even TO
share the responsibility. and he
couldn't throw II away for the sake OF
the "ould folks ut home"
Toward the close of the second day
the surgeon was taken prisoner. He
lost his surgical instruments and his
medicine case. but chung to the gold,
and, making belt Of his necktie and
handkerchief. tied 1t around his waist
next to his skin to prevent Its contisca-
ton by his captors. During the long.
hot and weary march that followed the
goldpieces chafed his flesh. and his
waist became so sore and blistered as
to cause him intense suffering, but he
was bound that the ''ould folks ut
home" should have the benefit Of that
money and by the exercise OF great
caution and patience managed to keep
II until he was exchanged with other
prisoners and got back to Washington
There he found his regiment In camp,
and one Of the first men to welcome
him was the Irish sergeant major, who
was so delighted to learn that the doc
tor had saved his money that he got
drunk and gambled II all away the
first night.-Chicago Record.

The Portuguese COLONIES N AIItce
In . Backward state.
The Portuguese colonies In Africa
are the Rip Van Wrinkles land Of real
ity. After three centuries OF white
dominion they remain pretty much In
the condition In which Da Cana and
his bold successors left them.
Here Is picture Of what trade
means In the favored region Of Cabin
da bay. where there is single white
trader who occupies n house Of three
rooms, with n "shop" 20 feet by 8
attached. The place Is stocked with
puncheons Of some vile stuff called
rum" which are exchanged for palm
kernels.
Knots Of natives from the interior
villages with loads Of kernels begin
to present themselves ut the shop by O
a. IN, and when the trader ut last
makes his appearance there Is noisy
crowd Of kernel sellers and thirsty
hangers on.
The exchange Of rum for kernels Is
quickly effected. and by 0 o'clock In
the morning the entire population may
be seen lying under the shelter Of the
cocoanut palms either stupidity drunk
or noisIly quarreling.
The mingled uproar and snoring LASTS
till about neon. when there Is sad
den return to sobr!ety. and the crowd
clears away to the village to collect
the means for another carousaL
On a good" day the trader ut Ca
binda bay gets rid Of about 100 gal
Ions of rum, and he AYERS that the
scene described Is repeated every day
In the year.
Next to rum and civilization" the
greatest curses Of West Africa are
smallpox and the sleeping sickness.
From this last no case OF recovery
has ever been known, and SO con-
tagious Is II that In the native Chris
tian community every COMMUNICATE
has separate cup from which to par
take Of the sacramento wine.-Londoa

doubts.
