BE Sure You Read.

From Success.
The man who would like to know some
thing about astronomy must lay out little
scheme Of study for himself, get the books
which are necessary, and have them at
hand the moment he is at leisure. The
man who wishes to familiarize himself with
political economy. with politics. or with in
dustrial questions, which are now Of such
Importance. must find out what text books
he ought to have secure those text books
and keep them by his side. The man who
wishes to know literature does not need to
lay out an elaborate plan which fills him
with encouragement by its very magni-
tude, but he does need to decide what au-
thor he is going to read next, and he does
need to get the book and keep 1t within
easy reach. Almost all the great classics
are now published In such portable forms
that man can carry a play Of Shakes
peare, the essays of Bacon, the poems Of
Tennyson or of Browning. a translation Of

CONTROVERSY IN COURT.
Lively Dispute Within the Railing
This Afternoon.

This Afternoon.
A lively controversy occurred within the
railing surrounding the court Immediately
after the adjournment today for lunch.
A New York newspaper today had publish
ed a letter or cablegram from Admiral
Schley which was sent to cable office
at Kingston, but which never reached the
department.
This cablegram happened to get to the
cable office at the time the officer repre-
senting Admiral Sampson reached there
with cablegram from the commander-in-
chief of the North Atlantic squadron, and
it is stated that that officer took upon
himself the responsibility of substituting
Admiral SIMPSONS cable for the cable Of
Commodore Schley, ordering that the latter
be not sent at all.
The point in controversy In the court
room today when the recess was taken was
that this cablegram signed by Commodore
Schley Is contained in Admiral Schley's
private letter book, which has been turned
over to the department and is in the keep
ing of the judge advocate. The question
arose how this letter was published
1t Is not at all regarded as significant so
far as It's bearing on the case is concerned.
Counsel for Admiral Schley today remarked
the fact that the letter had been published.
and that 1t could only be found in Admiral
Schley's private letter book.
The Judge advocate resented the insinua-
tion, as he considered it, that he had given
out the letter for publication, and there
the case rested.

In setting out trees be sure that no

Plants cannot live without leaves.
Sooner or later they will suffocate, as
plants breathe through their leaves.
Cut off the sprouts that spring up at

however, checks growth.

A Scheme That Failed,

James A. Hamilton of Chambers
burg, Pa, told this story at a recent
meeting In Philadelphia of the officials
of 60 Pennsylvania towns to discuss
the tramp question:
Three years ago we thought we had
the tramp question in Franklin county
settled for all time. We started out
to make them work. We bought sew
eral hundred carloads of stone and
had 1t hauled to the yard OF the coun-
ty Jail. We invested in a good many
suits of blue jeans and laid In a stock
of hammers and ran up quite bill for
provisions. Then we sent out after
the tramps. We didn't have to send
far. The woods were full of 'em, sent
down, l suppose, from Scranton and
Allentown.
"The whole country was interested in
the project, and the first day of the ex-
pertinent we had 600 to 800 people turn
out to see the tramps work. We had
q band of music, too, and altogether it
was great day. We had corralled 80
or 40 tramps, and In the forenoon they
worked first rate, but after the midday
meal they complained OF the food. In
the afternoon they gathered In little
groups of three and four and did a
good deal of talking. Next morning
after breakfast there was a strike.
They wouldn't work, and we've never
been able to make them work since"

She Expected 1t.

A writer, Tolstoi thinks, ought to feel
the public's pulse. He ls fond of tell
ing the following story of two Ameri-
can girls who came to see him In Mos
COW, says London NJ. A. p. They had
Travelled around the world, starting
from New York in opposite directions
to meet again in Moscow for the ex-
press purpose Of calling upon him.
When they had finished, Tolstoi didn't
know anything more gallant to say
than:
well, ladies', l think you might have
employed your time to better purpose"
AS he spoke he felt the rudeness of
the remark and was. about to add some
excuses when one of the young ladies
cried:
"Ah, how much like Leo Tolstoi!
was ready to bet that you would say
something of this sort"
And they went away as happy as
larks.
