Imagination and Disease.

In "A Journalists Note Book Frank F.
Moore tells an amusing and significant
story of the influence of magination upon
health, says the Youths Companion. A
young civil servant in India, feeling fag-
ged from the excessive heat and from
long hours of work, consulted the best
doctor within reach The doctor looked
him over, sounded his heart and lungs,
and then said gravely: Il will write you
tomorrow"
The next day the young man received a
letter telling him that his left lung was
gone and his heart seriously affected and
advising him to lose no time in adjusting
his business affairs. 'Of course you may
live for weeks" the letter said, "but you
had best not leave important matters I'M
decided"
Naturally the young official was dismay-
ed by so dark prognosis-nothing less
than death warrant. Within twenty
four hours he was having difficulty with
his respiration and was seized with an
acute pain in the region of the heart. He
took to his bed with the feeling that ne
should never arise from It. During the
night he became so much worse that mis-
servant sent for the doctor.
What on earth have you been doing to
yourself?" demanded the doctor. There
were no indications of this sort when I
saw you yesterday"
1T is my heart, suppose" weakly an
swered the patient.
Your hearth repeated the doctor.
Your heart was all right yesterday"
MY lungs, then"
What is the matter with you, man?
You don't seem to have been drinking
Your letter." gasped the patient. You
said l had only few weeks to live"
Are you crazy?" said the doctor. 81
wrote you to take few weeks vacation
in the hills and you would be all right"
For reply the patient drew the letter
from under the bedclothes and gave 1t
to the doctor.
'Heavensr' cried that gentleman, as he
glanced at 1t. This was meant for an
other man. My assistant misplaced the
letters"
The young man at once sat up in bed
and made rapid recovery.
And. what of the patient for whom the
direful prognosis was intended? Delighted
with the report that a sojourn in the hills
would set him right he started at once,
and five years later was alive and in fair
health.

THE COPPER KINGS AMBITION.


In the course of a conversation with
newspaper man in New York, the other
dsy, Mr.. w. A. Clark, who recently occu-
pied a seat in the United States Senate,
and who is reputed to be worth more than
$40, 10000, was asked why men struggled
to increase their wealth after they had ac-
cumulated more than they could ever use.
In answer to the question he said
ut is not to possess more money that
men Of wealth persevere in the pursuit of
more even after a fortune has been ac-
quired. 1t is the desire to be instrumental
in managing the affairs of the world.
know this is the case with me. I want to
be able to help humanity.
II give employment to hundreds of men.
women and children. That is a satisfac-
ton TO me. Then, again, I have been put
in the world as one of its factors. 1t is
my duty to perform my part as best
can, to accomplish all can with any tall
ents may possess. If I alone appreciated
the results attained by this course the
pleasure from it would be great to me- 1
believe that genuine happiness lies in the
successful carrying out of ones ambl-
TONS
1t may be true in some cases that the
desire to play an important part in the
worlds affairs leads men who have more
than they can ever use to continue to ac-
cumulate wealth. but, judging from lives
OF rich men, comparatively few of them
are influenced by that reason. 1t may be
that Mr. Clark finds pleasure in the
la to I,
a great number of people because he is
furnishing them employment, and it may
be that he expects to get back into the
Senate, and there play large part in the
worlds affairs, but most rich men cannot
stop striving to increase their store of
wealth simply because it is the only pleas
ure they have in life. If they were not
avaricious when they began to accumulate
they became so. 1t is a great satisfaction
to them to see their wealth increase from
year to year. They work harder to make
their second million than they did 10 make
their first The loss of a few thousands
of dollars, when they are well able to lose
it, worries them great deal more than a
similar loss would have worried them
when they We're comparatively poor.
As rule, the more money man has
the more he wants, and his happiness
does not increase in proportion as his
wealth increases Indeed ii is doubtful
if riches contribute much to happiness.
In speaking of riches we do not refer to
a competency that insures one against
poverty and is sufficient for all reasona Bile
needs. We refer to riches that are 50
great as to be a burden to those who have
them, and which practically make slaves
OF those who possess them. The rich men
who use their wealth for the benefit of
their felowmen, no doubt get much real
pleasure out of 1t, but those whose only
aim is to get richer have only the pleasure
of the miser

A Story of Kruper.

A London paper says that many years
ago when President Kruger was in Eng
land he was approached concerning some
concession, railway or otherwise, by a bus
mess man in London. The negotiations
lasted for some time. One evening the
Londoner, who was staying at the same
hotel, having spent many years with Mr.
Kruger and his companion. went 20 bed
much exhausted and feeling he had not
got quite all he wanted. Next morning he
arose at O'clock and went along the cor
rider to Mr.. Kruger's bedroom. To his
establishment 1t was empty and all the
luggage was gone. "Oh, SIR" said the
chambermaid, "Mr. Kruger and his friend
left at this morning" Then with a gig
gle of amused "reminiscences, the girl add
ed: They was queer couple, sir, and
no mistake. When e passed your door

"Do You Sat out or Ing,

The number and variety of knives and

A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION.

The indications are that the investiga-
lion into the fiscal affairs of Cuba, in ac-
cordance with the resolution introduced
pushed through that body by m, will be
a very thorough one. The fact that there
is to be an investigation gives great sat
isfaction. The senator's who have been
appointed to make it have the confidence
of their colleagues. They are Senators
Platt of Connecticut, AI1rlch, Cullom,
Davis Mcmillan, Chandler and Spooner,
Republicans, and Senator Teller Silver
Republican, acting with the Democrats,
and Senators Money and Talliaferro.
Democrats. They are instructed to thor
oughly inquire into about everything per-
tanning to public matters that the Amer
leans have done since they occupied the
island, and to find out whether there has
been fraud, peculation or inexcusabe ex-
travagance in the handling of the public
money
If there is anything in the reports which
are reaching this country other scandals
than the Nicely embezzlement will be
found. Evidence has been offered to show
that somebody made a pie of money out
OF the little six-mile railroad which the
government built for military purposes
to connect the Havana wharves with the
railway system of the island. 1t will be
found, probably, that millions of dollars
have been wasted in useless expenses, and
that there has been a vast amount of
plunderng.
No doubt the administration would like
to cover up the wrongful acts of its Gu
ban agents, but it does not dare to do
So To attempt to do so would give rise
to suspicious that the fraud and corrup-
ton greatly exceed the widest specula-
tons in regard to them Therefore its
wisest course is TO make the fullest in
vestigation possible 1t is said that Gen.
Weyler. when he heard that American
officials were charged with robbing the
Cubans, and that it was believed they
had pocketed more plumber than the
Spaniards ever succeeded in getting in
the same length of time, was gratifed
beyond measure. He did not rejoice that
the Cubans had been plundered, but that
the Americans, who had condemned the
Spaniards for dishonesty, had not been
more honest than the Spaniards. 1t is
humiliating to the American people that
the American administration of Cuban af-
fairs should be marred by such scandals as
are now coming to light. Still, they were
to be expected under the system for max
ing civil appointments in our insular pos
sessions. The politicians who select the
appointees have only one object in view,
and that is the payment of their political
debts or in securing political followers

AGAINST A THIRD CANDIDATE.

Mr.. D. II. Chamberlain, formerly Gov
ernor OF South Carolina and now a clti-
zen of Massachusetts, may properly be
called leading exponent of Gold Democ-
racy." He does not believe in the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen
10 one, and on other points he finds him
self out of consonence with Mr.. Bryan
Nevertheless, Mr.. Chamberlain will sup
port Bryan in the approaching campaign,
for reasons which he sets forth in a let
ter to the Springfield (Mass.) Republican;
reasons which should appeal to those other
Gold Democrats who are canvassing the
ACCESSIBILITY of putting up a third candi-
date.
Mr.. Chamberlain points out clearly that
the real contest win be between the nom
inees of the Democratic and Republican
parties, or MIR. Bryan and Mr.. Mckinley,
and that no third candidate can possibly
change the result. From the point of view
of the Gold Democrats, 1t is a choice be-
tween evils and that choice cannot be
evaded by putting up third candidate,
since to vote for a third candidate would
be equivalent only to casting half vote
olies and Imperialism, as represented by
Mr.. McKinley's party. However much
we may disrate Bryan and his party"
says Mr.. Chamberlain, sit still remains
that Bryan and his party are opposed TO
giving free swing to trusts and monopolies
and the tariff which largely supports
them, and to turning our republic into an
empire" This being true, and it cannot
be successfully questioned. at should
seem that the election of Bryan, being the
utmost that can be done at the time to
ward off these mortal ills, 1t is the best
thing to do
How votes for a third candidate are
wasted was illustrated in the last cleo
ton. Palmer and Buckner did not carry
a county. They cut no figure at all in
the determination of the result except
in so far as by drawing votes away from
the Democratic nominee, they aided in
the election of the Republican. If the
Gold Democrats find themselves in a IL
lemma In the coming election as between
voting for free coinage on the one hand,
or in favor of trusts and imperialism on
the other. the putting up of third can
didate is no solution of It, 1t is merely a
pake-beleve avoidance of it, which does
not at all avoid. The votes that would
be cast for third candidate would have
no effect In furthering those principles
for which the anttBryan Democrats con-
tend, nor defeating those to which they
object. AS a matter of fact, therefore.
voters for a third candidate would be
participating, in a negative sort of way, in
choice between Bryan and Mckinley,
with the advantage on the side of the
latter. Under the circumstances, who
ever insists on third candidate who can
not possibly be elected. seems to be
chargeable with shrinking from duty, If
he seriously wishes to do his best to de-
feat Mckinley"

II Didn't Concern Her.

An English clergyman who thought his
parishioners were getting so wicked that
he must tell them what would become of
them il they did not mend their ways,
says Success, preached a sermon on the
eternal fate of the wicked, which he
sought to bring home to some of the
noted transgressors by personal admoni-
ton. Meeting, one day, an old woman
who was well known in the parish for her
gossiping propensities he said to her:

No territories are to be admitted as
states by the present Congress. This de-
termination. IL is said. has been reached
by the majority party. The only terri
tory that was seriously considered for
statehood was Oklahoma. There was no
assurance that Oklahoma would elect Re
publicans to Congress, 50 that territory
was turned down along with New Mexico
and Arizona. While there may have been
politics in the decision against Okla
homa, it Is. nevertheless, correct de-
cision. We have already too many in
significant states in the West represented
In the Senate equally with New York and
Pennsylvania, Notwithstanding their in
terests are inhnitessimal in comparison
with those of the states named. AS soon
as one OF the territories is admitted TO
statehood it is given as much voice In
the upper house Of Congress as the old
est, richest or most populous state. and
it not infrequently occurs that some rich
man finds the legislators of the new state
in a receptive mood and buys himself
a seat in the Senate, where he uses his
power for his own ends.

The squadron for our re-established Eu-
ropean (navaD station is to consist of
the Albany, the Lancaster, the Essex,
the Dixie, the Buffalo and the Scindia.
The first ship is the new cruiser bought
from the Armstrong; at the outbreak of
the Spanish war. She has never been
tried and is an unknown quantity. The
Lancaster and the Essex are old wooden
training ships. The Dixie and the Buff
falo are converted merchantmen former
ly engaged in the coasting trade. The
Scindia was formerly a British tramp,
and is now a supply ship. To judge from
this squadron one would not say that we
were placing our ships where they could
strike a blow in European waters in de-
Tense of the Monroe doctrine, or that we
were preparing to awe the Sultan with a
naval demonstration.
