Little But He Had Grit.


The quality of courage is not strained.
On the open car of Clark street cable
train the other day there was a goodly
gathering of smokers says the Chicago
Record Herald. They were there because
the company graeiously permitted the
burning of tobacco on this branch of its
possessions. A good many other passen-
gers-most of them men-were also seated
there, not because they smoked, or even
approved of smoking, but because there
was no room for them in the closed part,
and they had nowhere else to sit.
One of the smokers, a slight, nervous
looking little chap, struggled heroically
with a pipe. Under ordinary circum-
stances pipe is no easy proposition for
any but the horny-handed son of toll to
negotiate. In the mouth of a man not
born to the bod and jeans it is generally
a case of smoking matches, and a box
of these may be used up in attempting
10 keep a pipe alight for two or three
blocks. But, 10! the poor laborer may
turn his pipe upside down or at a half
hitch or right angle, and the thick and
pIngent smoke will roll out in an unin-
terrupted volume.
NHSh INC WlHuS dow II is especially
difficult for the man who carries a meer-
schaum instead Of clay to keep his pine
alight, and the winds were blowing with
goodly will through the spaces of the
open car on this day. A sudden puff of
playful zephyr caught up a pinch of
ashes from the pipe of the little man ana
deposited them on the clothing of the
next man, big chap, sour and surly-
looking.
on, | beg your pardon, SIR" the little
smoker fastened TO say, and he hurriedly
brushed the ashes from the other S
sleeve.
The sour man scowled fierceIy. well.
don't you let it happen again." he said.
Quick as a flash the apologize look
died out of the face of the little man.
Why" ne demanded, what would YOU
DO II it did happen again?"
ii show you blank quick" said the
other, so flercely that the conductor
trembled, and in clutching the rail to
steady himself rang up an extra fare.
The little man puffed on his pipe til
ne mad it in healthy glow. Then when
the ashes were well formed on the tor
OF the bowl he turned till he faced the
sour chap and deliberately blew the en-
TIRE collection into his face.

A BRYAN uTrERANcE CRITICISED


In a speech in Missouri last week Mr..
Bryan said: For Democratic principles
we had hard fight in 1896. and a harder
one in 1900. and, believe the hardest Is
to come in 1904 to keep those principles
to the front"
Mr.. Bryan is right in thinking that
there is going To be a hard fight to
keep the principles set forth in the plat
forms of 1896 and 1900 to the front in 1904.
It is doubtful If those who lead the
fight will be successful If the criticisms
of this utterance Of Mr.. Bryan which are
appearing in the Democratic papers of
the West indicate anything, it is that
leading Democrats of that section will in
sist upon a modification of the platform
of 1890. The leading Democratic paper of
Chicago points out that the platforms Of
1896 and 1900 reverse the platform of 1892
on the silver question-that the Demo-
cratic party won the election in 1892 and
lost the elections of 1896 and 1900. 1t fur
Their points out that the platform of 1892
was made by Democrats. while those of
1896 and 1900 were dictated in a large
measure by Populists and Silver Repub-
licans.
1t is probable that a majority of the
last Democratic National Convention was
against some Of the things in the plat
form that was adopted. but opposition
was kept down because Mr.. Bryan was to
be the nominee. and he wanted all of the
declarations the platform contained to
stand.
But Mr.. Bryan will not occupy dom
mating place in 1904, and it is even doubt
full If he will have a voice in the max
ing of the platform. 1t will not be a dom
mating voice at least, as 1t was in 1900.
There will be a fight no doubt for the
same declarations which were made at
Kansas City, but 1t will not, from pres
ent indications, be winning fight. Mr..
Bryan seems to see the shadow of de-
feat when he says the fight to keep the
principles contained in the platforms of
1896 and 1900 to the front will be harder
than in either of those years.

A SIO.NOO. 900 BABY.

The richer the country becomes the era
zler people get about wealth Money is
everything. Everybody is struggling to
get rich. To gain that end health, happi-
ness and even character are sacrificed.
Men and women worship the golden
calf. They talk OF the great fortunes
that are being made or have been made,
and they bend all of their energies In the
direction OF increasing their worldly pos
sessions. They do not seem to realize
that great riches do not bring great hap
piness-that. as a rule there is not as
much happiness in the homes of the rich
as in those of the Door.
Sundays New York papers had long ac-
counts of baby Brown, a child fourteen
months old, and some of them contained
pictures OF the boy. There is nothing re-
msrkable about the child, except that he
is the heir of So OOO,0 900. And yet the whole
country must be told about baby Brown,
about his health. the fact that he is cut

the great steamship on which he is a
passenger
OF course the papers would not devote
so much space 20 a fourteen-months' old
baby If they were not sure their readers
would be interested in him because OF
his fortune. II he had been heir to only
$4,000 or even $4,000. no mention would

GOOD OUTLOOK ron PEACHES.

A dispatch in the Morning News yes
terday from Fort Valley, Ga, contained
the information that the outlook for good
yield of peaches in that locality is very
promising. That is the great peach Sec
ton of the state, and If the crop is good
there, 1t is safe to say it is good in most
other parts of the state.
The crop will not be as large perhaps as
it was last year, but the peaches will be
much finer, because the trees are not SO
heavily laden And being finer they will
command a better price. 1t would not be
surprising if the crop this year brought
more money into the state than the crop
of any previous year. The railroads will
not do as well. because they will not get
so many carloads to haul. but they viii be
benefited by the increase in the states
prosperity.
One thing owners ought to be careful
about is this: They ought to see to it
that their trees are as well cared for dur
ing years that the crop is a failure as
when the harvest Is abundant. or course
advice like this is not meant for practical,
thrifty peach growers, but for those who
are inclined to be negligent, or are igno-
rant of the needs of their orchards 20 keep
them in good condition.
Trees which are neglected Off years
that is, years when the crop is a failure
become so afflicted with the San Jose
scale, and other diseases to which peach
trees are subject. that they are in no con.
dtion to yield we'll in good fruit years
The war on the San Jose scale must be
waged all the time That is the only way
in which it can be prevented from cap
turing the trees. The peach growers who
battle against it only when their trees
give promise of bearing crop will make
a mistake. They will lose their trees as
well as their crop.
There is no doubt that there is money
in growing peaches in Georgia. That has
been demonstrated beyond a shadow of a
doubt, but only those will make money
who handle their orchards and the peach
business with skill. judgment and intehi.
gence. The qualities which win in this
peach business are those which win In any
business.

A MATTER FOR THE GRAND jury.

There is no reason for doubling that
the action of the Grand Jury in giving
the Board of Education an amount of
the public schools and the rebuilding of
Chatham Academy is very generally ap-
proved.
The question is now being asked wheth-
er, with the additional appropriation, tut
ton in the high school cannot be made
free. 1t cannot for the reason that the
budget of the Board of Education does
not allow for it. There is no reason, how
ever, why tuition should be charged in
the high school that does not apply to
the grammar schools.
1t has been decided that it is legal to
use school taxes for the support of
high school where such a school was in
legal existence previous to the adoption
of the constitution of 1877. The reason
why tuition is charged in the high school
is that several years ago the grand jury
failed to provide the means for the sup
port Of that school, and the Board of
Education had to abolish the school or
charge a tuition fee for its support. The
board doubtless would be glad to make
the high school free again, and will try
to find way to support it if the grand
jury requests that it be made free.
When it is remembered that there
is negro college in the county
where negro boys receive not only
high school advantages but also
technical education 1T would
seem as though it were but right
that white boys should have the benefits
Of free high school. Let the grand jury
say that it wants the high school made
free and the Board of Education will at
once undertake to see what can be done
in the matter.

information. What he and his experts

conclusions that will enable them to make
