DUT DO NOT GET INK.

| As the argument for getting drunk | temperance orators and writers have abundant material from which to con-
 struct arguments against getting ! drunk, perhaps it will do no great harm to mention an incident that would not
 be useful to an advocate of temper ance. This incident happened at Co., lumbus, Ohio, where lives a man who up to a few days ago had been blind for sixteen years He had consulted
 many specialists, and had been told by them that there was no help for him.
 Those interested in the unfortunate
 blind man thought he only made mat
 ters worse by the habit of getting
 drunk which he had. When he was drunk he would not hesitate to insult people, The other day he got drunk, and when in that condition succeeded in so enraging one of his companions that the companion felt that nothing would mitigate his rage except to hit the blind man with a brick. This he did, and he hit him right between his blind eyes and knocked him down. Somehow or other the blow so rear ranged things in the blind mans cranium that he can now see and he is rejoicing that he got so drunk as to invite the assault with the brick.
 Of course this is the exception that proves the rule Getting drunk and getting hit with a brick is not a spe- cific for blindness.

4 GOOD BARGAIN.

When, almost hundred years ago, James Monroe and the President we suppose there were grumblers who thought it wouldn't turn out to be prof itable. But it has turned out to be a good bargain in many ways The States and territories which have been created in whole or in part from it., area num- Der fourteen, and their population in 1900 was 14,708,616, against a population of less than 100000 in the territory at the time of its purchase. Their total area is nearly one-third that of the en- tire Union, and their population about one-fifth that of the entire United States. They produced in 1900 64,000,- 900 bushels of wheat, at value of $152, - 00,000, their total wheat production be- ing over 50 per cent. of that of the en- tire United States. They produced 1013, ,000,0 900 bushels of corn in 1900, with value of S314 100000, their total corn
 
 crop forming AS per cent. of the total corn crop of the United States. Of oats they produced in 1900 311, 100000 bushels or 3S per cent. of the total pro- duct of the country, with valuation of $71,000,000. Their production of barley in 1900 was valued at over $10000,000, and of rye over $2,0O0,000; while their production of potatoes in 1900 amounted to over $25, 1000, ,0OO, that of hay $13O,0O 900 and that of cotton $50, ,000 in val ue. The total value of the agricultural products of the States formed from the Louisiana purchase, including in that category simply wheat, corn, oats, bar ley rye, hay, potatoes and cotton, was, in 1900, $755,000O00. The wool product of these States amounted, in 1900, to 100, 3969S2 pounds, or 35 per cent. of the total wool product of the country, with an estimated value of about $15,000, ,000, or equal to the cost of the entire area. ne value or the Iarm anlmalS Tn these States in 1900 was sS25, ,OoO,oOO Add to these easily measured farm products the estimated value of the wool, the su- gar. the dairy and poultry products, and the proportion of the live stock an- nually turned into provisions, and it may be safely estimated that their ag- ricultural products during a single year amount to one hundred times the origi- nal cost of the area. The product of the mines is also very great. The coal produced in this area in 1899 amounted to 22,O00,000 tons, against 14,OOO,ooO in 1890: the iron ore, to s,491 ,OOO tons in 1900, against 1,269,OoO tons In 1890; the silver product of 1899, $50, 300, 7sS in coin ing value, against $44. 799, ,99S in 1890; and gold, $37712, 400 in 1899, against s1O,65o,- 900 in 1890.
 And the limit to the prosperity of this very prosperous region is not yet in sight.

fl M.jD WORLD.

Those who think this is a mad world will be confirmed in their thinking by some discoveries that have been made by Professor Caesar Lombroso, the emil nent Italian criminologist. The Professor recently examined plas- ter casts of the heads of fa- nous Europeans in the pres- ence of number of French surgeons and scientists. After critical inspec- tion of the cast of the head of the Czar of Russia Professor Lombroso declared the ruler of Russia to be ian innocent, melancholy idiot" King Edward VII of Great Britain has a head which in- dicates general degeneracy, incapacity to comprehend abstract concepts and a mediocre mind" The heads of the En- peror of Germany and the Sultan of Turkey, according to the Italian crim- inologist, suggest irresponsible, be- cause irretrievable, criminals In the lower walks of life "the Sultan might have been bank sneak and the Kaiser brawler." Joseph Chamberlain, Cecil Rhodes and Rudyard Kipling were pro- nounced mentally unsound
 There doesn't seem to be much left except for the distinguished and dis corning Professor to discover that he too is of his base.'

-l
 point of view of public policy and the good of the commercial community at l large, we may ask which was better, that a few creditors should be paid in | full and the remaining three or four hundred receive a mere pittance, or that all the creditors alike should re- | ceive nearly the half of their respec- tive claims, and none be paid in full? A law that produces the latter result and prevents the former has, at any
 rate, a tendency to distribute the eff fleets of financial failure, and there by to steady trade. Often in my own | administration of bankruptcy estates, I have found one of another creditor
 pertinently asking: Is such and such @ creditor ho has been getting pay
 ments right along on his debt up to the
 eve of bankruptcy, going to share for his unpaid balance the same rate of
 dividend that I get who have received
 nothing? Thus, we see that there is
 another side to the preference question,
 and that the advocates of an amend
 ment to, the act allowing creditors to
 keep heir innocent" preferences and
 yet share with those who have received
 nothing have not all the arguments
 upon their side.
 Indeed 1t is my conviction that wher-
 ever a business man is found advoca-' ting such an amendment, it will be
 discovered either that he has not looked at both sides of the question or that he
 belongs to one of the great mercantile
 houses that used to thrive upon pref enences. But it must not be forgotten that the bankruptcy act was not ex- pected to please those who throve best under a regime of preferences. The great body of merchants and business men, those who have no organization and who cannot afford to send eloquent advocates to talk before congressional committees, would by such change come to find the bankruptcy law no longer the strong, just arm of the big protecting brother that they now find it. Such a change would throw the door wide open again for the reappear- ance of all the old-time pestiferous preferences. It would, in addition, make an unavoidable rule for the prac- tical, swift and economical administra- tion of bankrupt estates. For then ev- cry creditor who had received a pref erence would insist on lawsuit to de- termine whether or not he took the preference under circumstances indica- ting knowledge of the debtors condi-

On this ranch now run considerably more than one hundred thousand head of cat tle,, and an idea of the size may be gained from the fact that the pasture fence extends 21O miles in one direction and twenty-five miles in another, mak- ing total of about 5000 square miles. From time to time small parcels of land have been sold, and meanwhile cents an acre to four times that amount.

TRO UBLE IN HUNGARY.

While in this country there are not cars enough to carry the money the railroads earn, or figures enough to in- dicate the value of the trust stocks, there is trouble enough in some Euro- pean countries. For instance, the Vienna correspondent of the London Standard draws a melancholy picture of the condition of all kinds of busi-
 ness in the Austro- Hungarian empire, which he ascribes partly to the reck- less management of joint stock com
 panies, partly t6 the withdrawal of
 foreign capital, and partly to general
 causes He says that the stock and
 share list of the Vienna Bourse shows
 very few items where to-day's quota
 tion is more than half what it was a
 year ago. Last years prices were ab-
 normally high; but this does not ex-
 plain why the best securities-those of
 first class railroads and coal mines, leading banks, etc.-drop heavily when ever an attempt is made to sell few hundred shares. Flourishing industrial concerns, mostly in Hungary, which were founded with German capital are now threatened with ruin. The larger concerns in Budapest can get help to tide them over the crisis, but the smaller undertakings in the provinces, finding their credit in Vienna gone, are compelled to suspend payment one af- ter the other The other day Hun garian banking house, with a capital of about 20000,000 kronen, had to con- fess that it's entire reserve fund of A. 900, 900 kronen had been lost by its con- nection with a Rumanian petroleum refinery; and but for the speedy aid given by Vienna bank, 1t would have collapsed. A number of prominent in- dustrial undertakings have been com pelled to reduce their establishments The largest tool factory in Austria, which has also branch establishment in Hungary, railroad engine and wagon factories, machine factories in general, foundries, glass works, electrical works, and many others are discharging a large proportion of their working force.
 Is it possible that such a story can I1 %%1l oF F, sx1 +I,tx try? We hope not.

The House Beautiful,

A naked house, a naked moor, A shivering pool before the door, garden bare of flowers and fruit, And poplars at the garden foot Such is the place that live in, Bleak without and bare within. Yet shall your ragged moors receive The incomparable pomp of eve, And the cold glories of the dawn Behind your shiveripg trees be drawn; And when the wind from place to place Doth the immoored cloud gallsons chuse, Your garden blooms and gleams agaIu With leaping sun and glancing rain, Here shall the wizard moon ascend The heavens, in the crimson end Of days declining splendor; here, The army of the stars appear. The neighbor hollows, dry or wet, Spring shall with tender flowers beset; And oft the morning muser see Larks rising from the broomy lea, And every fairy wheel and thread Of cobweb dew bediamonded. When daisies go, shall winter time Silver the simple grass with rlme. Autumnal frosts enchant the pool And make the cart-ruts beautiful And when snow bright the moor expands, How shall your children clap their hand To make this earth our heritage, cheerful and changeful page, Gods intricate and bright device Of days and seasons doth suffice.

tion; and the result would, in great measure, be lottery-a premium upon falsehood, no matter how able and inn partial the court might be, and an un- bearable expense to bankrupt estates, swamping them in litigation over in- tentions and reasonable grounds for belief. We should, indeed, strive to keep as far as possible from questions of intent in commercial law; their in troduction always produces uncertainty and litigation. Commercial law is not concerned with punishment. As the rule regarding preferences now is, 1t is founded on the bedrock of justice. It is fair to all; it is easily and eco- nomically administered; it Is sensible; and no one can escape its application. It is, in fact, straightforward and consistent rule.--Harold Remington in the Forum,
