FINN Ha. Valuable Side,

"ShOw me man who does not
appreciate humor," said John Kendrick
Bangs to me, land l will show you
a man who is morbid, cynical, un-
responsive to every call of nature.
Such a man is worse than n pessimist
and more to be pitied. Take some of
the greatest and most successful men
in the world. Humor has always play
ed an important part in their lives.
Often a funny incident has marked
the turning point of great mans
career. Often some ridiculous con-
dition has been the impetus of a new
start in life
Mr.. Bangs is right. Did not Column
bus apparently hopeless task of stand
ing an egg on end make thinkers of
the wise men who sat around him
Was not George Washington credited
with being n master of the truth be-
cause he once saw a boy punished for
trying to jest with his father and final
ly became, as Mr.. Bangs facetiously
remarks, so che couldn't tell lie even
if he saw one" And didn't Johann
Gutenberg invent the printing press
by working out a theory which found
it's origin while he was playing leap
frog with some boys on damp ground
The impression made in the soil by the
boys feet is said to have given Guten-
berg his first idea of the impression
that could be made by types.-Robert
Mackay in Success.

once had at least a rough form of rel
lative Justice. But today, with our
industries organized into trusts and
the imperialistic spirit developing in
politics, the general development of
the principle of trusteeship will be-
come appalling unless we cultivate
higher standard of morality than ever
before. Legislation will never pro-
tect us from the evils of trusts, of
deteriorated politics. The essence of
a trust is that you must trust the
head of it to exercise his power wisely
or to abuse it, according to the kind
of conscience he possesses.
TRUSTS have got to be regulated
by public sentiment, and that public
sentiment is not merely the opinion
of any particular part of the whole
people, but is readiness to accept, in
behalf of the community, restrictions
independent of the question whether
you or shall be personally harmed
by those restrictions. You say the
community will not be governed by
this principle. We must expect
that the community will, however,
for the alternative is an emperor in
Washington within % years. Public
affairs can no longer be played as a
game, but must be directed by an in
telligent and active public con-
science -

Trying to Make Forty dollars.


Here is hard luck story apropos Of
efforts to make a little sum in Wall
street: A young man started with 500
and ran it up to 1890, or $40 less than
an even $4,000. The desire to round
out the $4,000 goaded him on. He
said to his broker, eff 1 can make that
additional $40 on a quick turn will
draw out my $4,000 and invest it in
real estate" 1t was a strong bull mar
ket, but things. appeared sky high, and
he picked out an active stock to sell
short. I think he landed on T. G.. and
L, which had a phenomenal rise and
was due to drop anywhere from 10 to
80 points. He sold 100 shares at par,
intending to close it out at 90. But
instead of going down the blamed
thing scared to 126. At every three
points gain he sold another 100 until
he was carrying all he could tote. In
"a hours he lost nearly every cent it
had taken him three months to make.
With what little he had left he bought
I. 1. on the recession to ZIG, friends of
the Hanover National bank assuring
him that it was going to $50. Then
came the fireworks and the funeral.
The bottom fell out of the speciality
and young DR.. Knowall found himself
$4,000 in debt. He hasn't been in
Wall street since.-New York Press.

Her Grievance.

Distressed by her cooks frequent
complaints Of toothache, a mistress of
the upper west side decided few
days ago that it was time to recon-
mend heroic remedies.
Hannah, there is no use putting it
off any longer. There is DR.. Jones over
there. He promises to extract teeth
without pain. Why'don' you see him
and have it over wfth?"
Hannah scarcely relished the sug-
gestion, but after another nights suf-
fering sorrowfully announced, "'Deed,
kin jess stand dis no longah," and
asked permission to go to DR.. Jones.
Her mistress rejoiced in the thought
that the agony was at last to be end
ed. When an hour later, however, she
beheld Hannah march down the area
way steps, the whites of her eyes flash
ing and her head bobbing with a We
hemence born of righteous fury, visions
not only of lost molars, but of a de-
parting cook came before her. She en-
tered with the dignity of an insulted
African queen.
Anything wrong, Hannah? Didn't
he get the right teeth?'' ventured the
mistress.
"Got de right teef all right and a dol
lab an a half besides. Yas'm, he did

YATES AND YATES.

Political gossip has it that Yates
has not only to look after Fred Rowe
and name him as attorney for the in
surance department or something as
good, but that he intends to appoint
his brother, Henry Yates, as insur-
ance commissioner. The relatives
must be looked after first by all
means. Tanner appointed his son
secretary and his brother warden at
Chester. Gossip at Springfield has it
that the Tanner influence will still be
strong enough to keep Mack Tanner
in the latter place.

GREAT DANGER TO WHICH TRUSTS
WILL LEAD

President Hadley, of Yale univer-
sity, at Boston Saturday night startled
a congregation largely made up of
the richest church society in New
England at the Old South church, by
declaring: 1--WE shall have an en-
peror within % years unless we can
create public sentiment, which, re-
CARELESS of legislation, will regulate
the trusts"
President Hadley delivered the third
in a course of lenten addresses in the
Old South church by college presi-
dents, and his topic was "The De-
velopment of Public Conscience. :"
He said in part:
How do things stand as regards
the need of a public conscience in
this country today? The American
standard of personal morality is, on
the whole, high as compared with
other nations and other ages. We
have developed personal virtues
through individual conscience very
well. But our actions in politics and
in a social and business sense, prove
our moral standards in those direc-
tions desperately low. There is an
appalling contrast between our
methods of dealing with each other as
individuals and the low standard OBJ
served in dealings between different
parts of the whole organization Of
society. Competition used to pre-
vent a man from practicing great
extortion upon his neighbours, even
If he wanted to, and in politics we
