Little 4-year old Willie had been
told repeatedly that he must never
ask for anything when at the table,
but should wait patiently until he was
served. One day. while dining at a
neighbor's with his mother, the little
fellow was accidentally overlooked.
Patience finally ceased to be virtue

have influenced the career of more
than one successful inventor. E. j.
Manville was hard working machin-
ist living in Waterbury, Conn, when
one day he heard a woman complain
ing because she had pricked her finger
with a pin. A pin that would not
prick fingers, he thought, would have
a ready sale. A week later he had
worked out the safety pin, and within
FIVE years his invention had made him
rich. Carlos French, another Con-
necticut mechanic, in the course of a
railway journey noticed the Earring
and jolting of the car, and fell to
thinking how they could be overcome.
The problem kept him awake nights
for some two years, but in the end he
solved it so successfully that his car
spring is now used on all the railroads
of the. land. Westinghouse was led,
in a somewhat similar manner, to in
vent the air brake. He was the son
Of a manufacturer and possessed
marked mechanical bent. Once he
was in a railroad collision, the result
of brakes failure to do its work. He
Immediately started to devise brake
that would operate more quickly and
with greater certainty than the ones
then in use, and, like Carlos French,
he was completely successful in his
efforts.
Some years ago young Russian
student, Leo Wiener by name, was
compelled to flee from the Cars en-
pire in order to escape banishment to
Siberia. He tramped through Ger
many and France to Spain, where he
took ship for Cuba, sailing thence to
New Orleans. The end of series Of
hardships found him penniless wan
derer in the streets of Kansas City.
There, with the aid of men of his own
race, he supplied himse lfwith mod
est stock of fruit, which he sold to pas
sers-by. Each night, when his days
work was done, he hastened to the
public library, there to pore over some
English volume until the lights were
put out. The library attaches soon
grew familiar with the shabby, self
absorbed foreigner who never missed
night, and through them Wiener
was brought to the notice Of the super
intendent of public schools. An inter-
view proved to the astonished super
intendent that the fruit peddler was
a master of Greek and Latin and sew
eral modern languages. Call upon

ner went back to his peanuts and ba-
nanas with light heart, and ere long
he was informed that position as
teacher had been obtained for him In
the little college at Odessa, Mo. After
a season at Odessa he returned to
Kansas City to teach languages IN
the Central High School. Six years
later he was called to a chair IN
the University Of Missouri, at Col
umbia, and when Harvard founded its
department of the Russian, language
and literature he was placed in charge.
This chair he continues to fill, oc-
upying leading place among lin

What Saved Him.

One morning. many years ago, a
young reporter on a daily paper had
occasion to call with a message at the
office af one of the foremost editors
and publishers in the country.
The younger man was sickly couu-
try lad, of keen sensibility and nervous
temperament, who, finding himself
homeless and friendless in great city,
had yielded to temptation, and had
fallen into the habit of drinking and
gambling. The publisher, as he lis
tened to the message, noted the lines
which dissipation had already left on
the boys face. He was a man who
made it his work in the world to help
others. No man touched his hand in
passing who did not gain from him
new courage and hope in life.
He answered the message which the
reporter brought, and then, holding
out his hand cordially, said LET me
wish you a merry Christmas, my lad.
He took from shelf a book, contain
ing sketches of the lives Of the great
est English, French and German au.
thors, with extracts from their works.
Here, said he, "are some friends
for the new year. When you spend
an hour with them, you will have no.
bic company"
The surprise of the gift and the un-
expected kindness from the man whom
he regarded with awe had powerful
effect upon the lad. He spent all his
leisure time in poring over the book.
It kindled his latent scholarly tastes.
He saved his money to buy the COM
plete works first of this author, and
then of that; he worked harder TO
earn money to buy them. After a
few years he began to gather together
and to study rare and curious books,
and to write short papers upon obscure
literary subjects.
Men of similar tastes sought him
out he numbered some of the foremost
scholars and thinkers Of the country
among his friends, but he never forgot
the lonely, friendless lad who had been
sinking into a gambler and drunk
ard until kind hand drew him back,
and be in his turn sought out other
lonely, friendless boys in the great
city and gave them a helpful hand out
of the gulf.
So, year by year, his life widened
and deepened into strong current.
from which many drew comfort and
help.
He died last winter. The sale Of
his library gathered all the collectors
of rare books in the seaboard cities.
During his illness the newspapers spoke
of him with a sudden appreciation Of
the worth which had SO long been hid
in obscurity.
"a profound scholar, with the heart
of child" "a journalist who never
wrote a word to subserve base end,
they said. He read these eulogies with
a quiet smile. The actor who has left
the stage forever cares little for the
faint plaudits Of the crowd in the dis
tance.
One day he put into the hands Of a
friend an old, dingy volume. "When
! am gone" be said, take this TO Mr..
-, and tell him that whatever
of good or usefulness there has been
in my life owe to him, and this gift
Of his thirty years ago"
The story is absolutely true. We
venture to tell it because there is no
one living whom il can hurt, while
there are many who it may help to

paths in life than they.

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. 1t is customary to speak Of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, i'll fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; If not at first, it
very soon becomes 80.
The blood Is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.
does. It cleanses the blood Of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar-
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.

A POLITICAL DEPARTMENT.,

When the fathers drafted the constitu-
ton and divided all government into
three parasitic legislative, the judicial
and the eXecutive-they made a great
mistake. No doubt the mistake was the
result of a woeful lack of experience and
a total ignorance of modern politics.
The theory that they held was that the
representatives of the people under GER
tain restrictions, which were plainly laid
down in the constitution, should make
the laws which were to govern the ma
ton as nation. To keep this legisIa-
tive body from exceeding it's constitu-
tional limits and usurping powers which
belonged to either OF the other depart
ments or to the people in their sover-
eign capacity, the supreme court was
created, with power to say tfsis is or this
Is not within your power as limited by
the organic law of the land To keep the
court from using it's great power in an
officious or arbitrary manner it was pro
vided that all such questions must be
pIOuSuI pSIoTe the court IN the regular
judicial wayne opinion should be given
unless someone competent sought it. The
executive department, as it's name i'm
plies, was to carry out the laws as en-
acted by the legislative body and as in
terpreted by the supreme court To
provide for possible contingencies such
as a change of circumstances, a means
was provided whereby the people in their
sovereign capacity could alter or amend
the fundamental law under which the
three departments were bound. This
worked nicely for a hundred years or
more. Then there grew up an institution
called politics" which refused to recog-
nize the constitution and insisted upon
working outside of the constitutional
limits
This might have been foreseen by the
fathers, but if it was, they neglected to
provide for it by creating fourth de-
partment with power to pass on and re-
wise the decisiono of the supreme court
and to confer upsn congress or the exec
