THE OLD MANS SON.
Hard for the Rich Younq Men Who
Would Make Regulations NOWADAYS.

| TOuiO Fi1hS tsOWaCdyS.
The way of that rich young man
who would be something more than
the old mans son" is hard The
world has grown used to seeing the
second generation dissipate in weak
ness what the first accumulated in
strength. For under the shadow of a
giant fortune, those elemental qualities
of character which are developed and
knotted hard by free and unsheltered
struggle with the world grow soft and
sappy. Oftener than not, ability is
transmitted from father to son, but
raw ability is not enough. Unframed
untrled, undirected in a struggle for
advancement, it may be an element CT
weakness instead of strength. So,
though the world has nothing but
respect for the "old mans" pocket
book, of the son it is not so sure.
They are sham honors; valueless be-
cause unearned; neither satisfying
him nor deceiving the public; lacking
the salt that gives them SAVIOR; making
him look beside the man who holds
them by right Of conquest like a geld
laced general of militia beside The
SCARED old colonel who has sabered
his way up from the ranks.
When young Vanderbilt, by all &C
counts an earnest and an ambitious
young man, went as delegate to
recent political convention, he became
congressional possibility within
tWenty-four hours, and there was no
yellow journal but did him the rever-
ence of a 'front-page story" Yet AL
that was not recognition of transcen-
dent genius in young Vanderbilt him
self, but tribute to 'the old mans SON."
Not until he has been tried out in his
ward and on the stump, and has borne
out the promise of his earnestnass, |
Will he become "front-page story"
for better reason.
Any young man whose father left |
him sufficient number of stock certif- |
Gates can be elected director in half |
dozen companies, but the world will |
say pull; or he may even 90 to con-
gress and it will cry barrel" He |
must demonstrate his ability again and |
again before he can secure recognition |
for his viduality-Saturday Even |

The Clearer Self,

Before me grew the human soul,
And after l am dead and gone,
Through grades of effort and control
The marvellous work shall still
go on.
Each mortal in his little span
Hath only lived, if he have shown
What greatness there can be in man
Above the measured and the known.
How through the ancient layers Of
night,
In gradual victory secure,
Grows ever with increasing light
The energy serene and pure.
The soul that from monstrous past,
From age to age, from hour to hour,
Feels upward to some height at last
OF unimagined grace and power.
Though yet the sacred fire be dull,
In folds Of thwarting matter furled,
Ere death be night, while life is full,
o master spirit OF the world.
Grant NE to know, to seek, to find,
In some small measure though it be.

The clearer self, the grander mel

MGOVERN'S BATTLE
BROOKLYN WONDER EASILY
BESTS BERNSTEIN,
AND CLEANS UP $500
Agreeable Event For the Elite of the

try-FeatherWeight Championship
At Stake.

Louisville, Nov. 3.-Terry Meow
ern, marvel of the prize ring, defeated
Joe Bernstein of New York in the sew
enth round before 5000 persons at the
Nonpareil Athletic club last night.
The featherweight championship was
involved in the battle scheduled for 25
rounds, according to the eastern in
depreciation of the straight Marquis of
queensbury rules. The inducement
was purse of $4,000, Of which the vic
tor received $4,000. Bernstein had
withstOod the onslaught of the Brook
| Ign wonder for % rounds before the
! Broadway Athletic club, New York, in
! 1899. His entrance to the arena the
| second time to do battle with the ban
tam and featherweight champion of
| the world was characterized by conf
| dence and determination. Terrible
! Terry with all the ferocity and speed
! for which he is noted, took his time,
only occasionally sailing into Bern
! stein, but when he did it was a slash
! ing succession of blows which ap-
| peared to be snatched from a myste1
| ious source. After two minutes and
five seconds of the seventh round he
rammed, banged and beat down the
! Hebrew. Bernstein was badly dazed
aud could not speak for several sec,
| onds. The battle was the first cham.
pionship contest in the south in recent
years and attracted great interest
hereabouts. Sporting men came from
Chicago, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St
Louis and Nashville. 1t was nearly
midnight when the men entered the
ring, a financial difficulty causing the
long delay.
In the first round Bernstein blocked
a left swing. Bernstein landed a stiff
punch on the stomach. Joe went to
his knees from stiff one on the jaw
! Bernstein ducked into left
uppercut. Terry landed left and
/ bernstein landed left in Macs face
In the sixth Terry rushed Joe, and
landed left and right on the face
Bernstein landed a left on Terry
nose and a right on Terry's jaw, they
| both ran into clinch without damage
Terry landed four rights and Joe shook
Terry up with hard left on the mouth
then landed another on Terry's jaw
and his right on the ear. Terry
knocked Joe to the ropes with a hard
right on the face and Terry landed on
Bernsteins body with his right.
In the seventh Terry landed q right
on the body, than two hard rights on
the heart. Joe landed a left on the
jaw and Terry put Joe down for the
count. Then Joe went down again and

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, of
New YORK. explains some very interesting
facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudeS who use this standard arti-
Gle know that it is many hundred per cent.
better than other cements for which similar
claims are made, but great many don't
know why. The simple reason is that Mr.
Major uses the best materials ever discOV-
cred and other manufacturers do not use
them, because they are too expensive and
do not allow large profits. Mr.. Major tells
us that one of the elements of his cement
costs $5,15 pound, and another costs sos a
gallon, while large share of the so-called
cementS and liquid glue on the market are
nothing more than siXteen-cent glue dis
solved in water or citric acid, and, in some
cases. altered slightly in color and odor by
the addition OF cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle, and when a dealer
tries to sell a substitute you can depend
upon it that his only object is to make
larger profit.
The profit ON Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement.
And this is doubly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the benefit
of Mr.. Majors advertising, which now
amounts to over $500 month, throughout
the country. Established 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept
any on-hand advice from a druggist.
