Value Of the Disci iplined Mind.

Value Of the disciplined Mind.
The world needs men and women who
are sufficient unto themselves. able to
stand alone and make the most Of try
Ing and unpleasant conditions. The
discipline of the life should be to make
our knowledge and resources available
for practical use. What matter it that
we read every book In the world, and
gain all the knowledge that science
and art can teach us, IL we cannot put
this information to use either to the
profit Of our minds or physical condi-
tions? This greatest use Of knowledge
and culture is not for money-making,
for achieving material success in the
struggle for life, but to sweeten and
discipline ourselves. The philosopher
who has gained the true key to knowl-
edge stands aloof from the thronging
crowds Of eager money makers and
reputation seekers. He is content to
know that the visible attainments Of
life are not the highest and dearest.
Others may strive for them, but he
longs for the intellectual pleasures
which come only to the disciplined soul.

The enperor.s Little Fri.nd.

A little Australian boy recently
met with a piece of luck. He lives
in a street in Budapest, and when
ever the Emperor Franz Josef drove
past on his way to the station the
lad always greeted his majesty by
Vigorously waving his hat.
The emperor noticed the child,
and whenever he was in the Hun
garian capital looked out for his
Young friend.
This continued for quite six wears,
until one day in April the emperor
noticed that the boy was missing
from his usual post. An hour later
q messenger from the emperor call
ed at the house and inquired what
had become of him.
On learning that the lad, who was
now u years of age, had been sent
to school the emperor promised to
nay for his education and after
ward make an officer of him if he

r THE LITTLE onEs.
How an Elephant Punished the 6o,
That Torn e1tcd Him.

Bolivar is big elephant owned
and housed at the Philadelphia ZOO.
He is one OF the largest elephants
in the country and has more visitors
every day than any six men N the
city. He does not carry a car, as
does the elephant at Lincoln park,
nor is he useful in any way except
as peanut consumer, says the Chi
csgo Tribune. 1t is through him
that the peanut man at the park
makes all his money, for who would
buy peanuts if it were not for the
elephant and his overwhelming ap-
petite?
The drinking cup which is Boil
vars very own is a four gallon iron
affair which would do very well for
small boys bathtub. 1t does
not, however, hold enough water to
fill Boliyar's trunk, which has ca
pacity of just six gallons.
It happened not long age that a
small boy had been teasing bolivar,
holding forth peanut and then
Withdrawing it just as the elephant
was about TO gobble it up. Bolivar
did not like it, but what could he
do: He pulled at his chain and
tapped his ears and sneezed, but
the boy only laughed.
Just then along came keeper
with the four gallon drinking cup
full of water. Bolivar blinked his
little eve and thrust his trunk into
the water as though he were very
thirsty. 1t interested the boy, and
he drew nearer. When Bolivar
raised his trunk, he did so quickly
and, pointing it al the boy, turned
on the power. The force of the
stream carried the boy of his feet
and landed him on the other side of
the roadway. a dripping, wretched
creature. Bolivar enjoyed the joke
Immensely and tapped his ears and
clanked his chain as though he were
irving to say. "Come over here
again. won't you. little fellow"
But. needless TO saw, the boy did not
sccept the invitation.

MALTREATED BY THIEVES.
An Aged Couple Tortured Near Bra
denyfIIe. Pa.

CREENSEURG, Pa May 11--Willian
jackson, an aged and wealthy farmer,
and his wife, who live on the mountain
range above Bradenville, are in critical
condition this morning as the result OF a
shocking outrage perpetrated by four
masked men, who entered their home last
night and beat them, tortured them with
knives and gagged them in an effort to
force the OLD couple to tell where their
money was secreted-
Mr.. Jackson refused to reveal the hiding
place where he kept his cash and he was
seized by two of the men and subjected
to brutal treatment He was pounded
over the head with a poker and slashed
with knives until he fell exhausted TO the
floor
Mrs. Jackson was then dragged from
her bed. In the face of what, to the
trembling woman, seemed certain death,
she. too, refused to tell where their
money was kept. The uuzzle of 2 revoi-
yer pointed in her face and the clashing
of knives at her throat had no effect, for
the woman, believing that the ruffans had
killed her husband, resolved to die at their
hands rather than tell the secret kept to
the last by Jackson She was terribly
bruised and then cast down beside her
PROSTATE husband
The aged couple were found this morn
ing by neighboTs. Excited citizens are
hunting for the perpetrators Of the crime.
As yet, however, no clue has been OBJ
tanned.

But it must be added that the panic has
clearly revealed TO foreign eyes the ex-

distinctly, what may happen to investors

financial magnates fall to quarrelling.

It is, in fact, as all financial London is

created the deeply-rooted distrust OF
American investments on this market
namely, the knowledge from experience
that the effects Of genuine prosperity in

curities are too often upset either by the
work Of unscrJpulous politicians or the
greed Of financial ciiques.

NOT WANTED BY GERMANY.
Acquisition of Territory on the Ven
ezueIan Coast Not Contemplated

The State Department mas ground for
believing that the German Government
does not contemplate the acquisition cf
any island on the Venez -e;ar coast. nor
of a har5oT or coaIing st tion in that Vi
cinity- An authoritatives statement TO
this effect made today the outcome of
the recent reports that Germany was en-
deavoring to secure control Of the Island
Of MaTgarita. belonging. % Venezuela and
ten hours sail from La Ggayra, for use
as q coaIing station.
When the first report on the subject
came from Venezuela, investigation here
disclosed that about a year ago a Ger
man warship had spent more than two
months surveying the harbpr of the ISL
and of Margarita. This information was
made known to the Navy Department and
the United States gUHboat Scorpion, Lieu
tenant Commander Nathan Sargent, went
to Margarita and made some surveys
which developed that the hsrbor was re
markably fine for a uazaI station.
The authorities here became somewhat
uneasy recently over information that
German subjects are buying UP land on
the harbor with the suspected intention Of
permitting its use by the German Govern
ment as a coaIing station This involved
a new question under the Monroe Doc
trine which the Governrcs Mt did not care
to meet, and the knowledge made public
today, that Germany does nat intend to
take any action that might be distastefuI
to the United States, is relief TO the Ad-
ministration officials
II is evident that the State Depart
ment's ground for believing" that Ger
many has no designs in Margarita is an

How the fire Of last night originated is

when the vessel was some miles out in

fight the flames. the Bon Voyage was put

canal. As the fire gained rapidly, it was
seen that the only hope was in Bleaching
