left a gift of 100,00Of for the poor OF
Paris, 10000 for Dunkirk, 10000 for

also a sum of 5,000f for the families of

as well as the South to recall that the
man upon whom this honor has been
bestowed when not yet q years old,
bore one of the flags of truce at APP
pomattox, and after the war was
among the first at the South to plead
for genuine reconciliation between
the sections, on the idea that in the
war of 1876 the millions at the
North and the South, though warning,
were united by the higher and immor-
tai bond of equal fidelity to principle,
and that in later years, not wishing to
keep trophy in war between
brothers, he restored a captured flag
to the 18th Connecticut Regiment.

HrGH-PRICED MEN WANTED.

! Secretary of the Treasury Gage made
a striking statement in the course of
an address at Denver the other day.
He was talking to gathering of bank
clerks. IF / knew that you were cap
able" he said, Il could take twenty Of
you young men this evening and place
you in positions in various parts of
the country which would pay you $685.
900 a year each" The announcement
must have been electrifying to the
young men. Doubtless many to those
within the sound of Secretary Cages
voice had more than once bewailed the
fact that there were 80 few oppor-
tunities for young men these days"
and here was a man who unquestion-
ably knew what he was talking about
assuring them that he knew of at least
twenty places in banks where as many
competent men could secure employ
ment at a wage FIVE times as great as
that received by a senator of the Unit
ed States. 1t is safe to say the Secre-
tary's talk made profound impression
upon the young men, which made them
think that, after all, the old expression
about there being room at the top was
not merely a hollow phrase.
There is still room at the top, prob
ably more than ever BEFORE but, as
heretofore, it takes brains, patience
and persistence to reach it. Secretary
Gage himself began life as an office
boy; but he had the making of a bank
president in him, and he finally achiev-
ed that position and the greater one
of being placed in charge of the ma
Mr.. Gage ever promoted by favor.
He worked his way, rising by reason of
merit. And that is how other young
men must achieve success.
If there are twenty bank places
awaiting $25, OOO-a-year men, how many
other places in the various lines of
business must there be that are await
ing employees relatively as high classed
and high priced? The marvellous
growth and expansion of American
manufacturing during the past twenty
years has created a large demand for
thoroughly competent men in executive
positions. The same is true of the
mercantile business, and of mining and
railroading. And the expansion has
not yet ceased. Indeed, it has hardly
more than fairly begun in the South.

and West are capable of much greater
timated that the population of the
United States will be 100000 900 per-
sons. AS the population grows. so will
the business of the country grow, and
so will the opportunities for competent
young men to reach "the top" be null

GROWING LoNGER-LryED.

Persons living in the United States
have better chance for attaining to
a ripe old-age than those of any other
part of the world, with the exception
of Norway and Sweden. The Scandina-
VANS are the healthiest of civilized
peoples, with the Americans a close
second. This is not guess work, but is
based upon careful calculations made
by the insurance companies for bust
ness reasons. The data collated show
that the average of age and the aver
age of expectancy in healthy persons
have both advanced considerably in the
last fifty years in this country, max
ing Americans much better insurance
risks than Englishmen, Germans,
Frenchmen or Belgians.
Three or four years ago a table was
compiled from vital statistics of Mas
sachusetts showing that out of every
10000 persons born in that state, nine
might be expected to reach the age of
100 years, and that those who attained
to that mark might reasonably expect
to live something more than a year
longer. A similar table prepared fifty
years ago showed that only nine out
of every 900 lived to round out the
century. Thus it appears that in Mas
sachusetts a man has ten chances of
becoming a centennarian where there
was one chance fifty years ago; and
Massachusetts, is not the most healthful
state in the Union, either. New Jersey
has the honor of showing the lowest
death rate, though there are several
states that are not far below her in
percentages.
An authority, quoted by the New
York Evening Post, says in &espect to
the matter of longer life for Americans:
1T is certain that our American men
at sixty are not broken up as badly as
our fathers were at forty" How is it
accounted for? In the improved man

The pupil who had the most distress
ing experience during my visit was a
mild, redheaded boy about II years old,
says a writer in the Woman's Home
Companion. He failed in his grammar,
and the master set him to doing his

of parsing. Half an hour later the
boy S ideas proved to be as hazy as
ever. There he stood, with hanging
head, alone before his master, who
called him a VILLAIN" and a little

that again.

But the boy, GREATNESS and half
scared to death, stood silent, like a
confessed criminal awaiting sentence.
The masters rage waxed keener and
his voice rose stormily. Say it Quit"
he shouted, 'or I'll put your head on
the other side of your face! I'll throw
you out of the door for disgracin the
school," And he dashed the grammar

The boy obeyed. He was crying, and
the tears were trickling down, but the
master hushed him up and said, still
wrathfully: Clean your nose, boy!
Hurry up, or I'll get Anthony Kelly to
come up and clean it,"
Then the master once more tried the
grammar lesson unavailingly. and at
last in despair, dashed the book into
the boys face and sent him weeping

before the master had given me an in
vltation to call on him in the evening.
He wanted to talk about America. That
boy of his, he was afraid. with all his
teaching, would be no scholar: he
would have to work with his hands for
living, and he was thinking America
would be the best place for him.

WHISKY In THE ARMY.

Friends of temperance in all parts
of the country will read with pleasure
that part of Surgeon General Stern
bergs annual report in which he says
that in recent years there has been
marked decrease in the number of dis
missals from the army for alcoholism,
but the prohibitionists will hardly ac-
cept as satisfactory the reason given
for this decrease in drunkenness.
The reason is found in the following
extract from the Surgeon Generals re-
port: Military officers may be said
to be unanimous in their opinion that
this was mainly the result of the es-
adjustment of the post exchange or
canteen at military posts. The pro-
hibitionists have made. and are still
making a strong fight against the can
teen. They refuse to accept the tes-
timony of officers of the army that the
effect of that institution was to
bring about a decrease in drunkenness.
In their view there is only one way to
deal with spirituous liquors, and that
is to prohibit their manufacture and
sale They do not take into account
the fact that the desire of men for in
toxicants seems to increase in proper
ton as the difficulties of getting them
are increased, and that when obtained
under such circumstances they are, as
a rule used immoderately. With the
canteens closed, the soldiers find
other means of getting liquor. and
what they get is much inferior to that
supplied by the canteens. AS already
stated, on account of the difficulty of
getting it they drink to excess when
the opportunity presents itself.
If the prohibitionists in this state
should succeed in prohibiting the sale
of liquor within the states limits there
would be, 1t is pretty safe to say, more
! drunkenness in Georgia than there has
ever yet been. Whisky and beer would
be brought in surreptitiously from
cities of other states, and there would
be greater evils from liquor than there
are at present. The people would not
be as we'll off as they are now, and
they would have to bear additional tax
burdens because of the loss of revenue
from intoxicants.
If the prohibitionists could prevent
| liquor from being brought into the
state-could prevent the people from
getting it-they might lessen drunken
ness by their plan, but in view of the
fact that they cannot do this a general
prohibition law, like the closing of the
canteen in the army, would result in
an increase in drunkenness. The only
sure way to lessen the liquor evil is to
educate the people against intoxicants,
and that can be done more satisfac-
torily by local option than by any 9TH
! er means.

the man whom they had accused de-

conducted the party to the station,

Two or three weeks ago the Morning
News threw out tentatively the sugges-
ton that the anarchists in this coun4
try be sent to Guam and colonized
there. Congressman Lands of Indiana
thinks SO well of the idea that he will
prepare a bill having that purpose in
view and present it at the forthcoming
session of Congress. Congressman
Lands said he did know whether such
a measure would be constitutional,
but he did know that if the
American people determined to get rid
of the anarchists and reached the con-
clusion that deportation and colonial
ton was the best method of accom-
plishing it, they would find way of
making it constitutional.

The length of the skirts of the wo-
men of Bayonne, N. j., is matter of
public policy upon which legislation is
to be had this week The Board of
Health has reached the conclusion that
skirts that sweep the streets must go.
There is hardly any greater cause of
contagious disease" says the board,
than these dresses, which gather up
from the sidewalks germs of every de-
scription and carry them into homes to
propagate and spread disease" What
the legal length of the Bayonne skirt
shall be has not been determined.
Whether 1T is desirable or possible to
regulate fashions by law may be de-
batable. but there can be no doubt that
some of the current fashions for wo-
men ought to be arrested for their
false pretenses.
