A nICH MAN ON SUCCESS.

Mr.. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is a men,
Der of one of the richest families in the
world. He is therefore, dixie Mr.. Carne-
gle, in position from which he can look
down upon the struggles of the masses
for daily bread, and philosophize. His at
mosphere Is undisturbed by the clamor of
necessity, unclouded by anxiety respect
ing the demands of the butcher the baker
and the candlestick maker; therefore he
can survey the field calmly and weigh
the value of the evidences that pass be-
fore him. 1t is SO easy for a very rich
man to be a philosopher! And It's 30 i'm
pressivel
Not that Mr.. Rockefeller, Jr.'s philoso-
phical musings are to be disparaged; far
from it. Often they are calculated to be
helpful and encouraging TO young men,
and always they are characterized by
careful thought and common sense. He
addressed a students club in New York
the other day, on the subject of success.
To him, he said, success meant more
than the mere winning of money. He
summed up the true meaning in this SEN
tence: ut is to do the common duty of
each day uncommonly we'll. That il its
essence, and in its execution we reach the
absolute realty of success" Mr.. Carne-
gle himself could not have put it clearer
or more forcefully.
A man to be successful, said the young
lecturer need not be leader in finance
in business, in politics or other matter
He need not be a famous man. Granted
the requisite qualities, what shall one
seek?" he asked, and replied; ''The great
problem of life is to seek the things most
worth while. These are character, friend
ship. health and success. Every man
needs a single friend at least, and a
thousand acquaintance are not worth a
single true friend" Here is a man with
wealth above the dreams of avarlce who
tells his hearers that money is far from
being all that a man needs to make him
happy There are greater things, among
them being character. true friendships
and health-things that money cannot
purchase. If they were purchasable, the
late Sam Lewis. the "Shylock" OF Lon
don. would have been one Of the most
popular men in Europe, instead Of one Of
the most despised.
Mr.. Rockefeller's remarks should have
received the respectful attention and ear
nest consideration of his hearers; as no
doubt they did. Apart from emphasizing
the components of true success, they show
that even very rich men may. and often
do. take a deep interest in the ethical
side of life.

A story of yictor,a,s rather.

The father of Queen Victoria, the Duke
Of Kent, had no objection to dissenters,
and, in fact, cultivated intimate relations
with a well-known Congregational minis
ter DR.. Stoughton, whom he knew both
at Windsor and Kensington. The doctor
lent the embarrassed Duke some money
but refused many invitations to dine at
Kensington Palace. At length Victoria :
father pressed for his reason, and the doc
tor explained that he would not accept
because he could not entertain in return
oh" said the Duke you can easily do
that. / like boiled leg of mutton and trim
mings better than anything, but 1 cannot
often get it," Taking the hint, the doc
tor had a fine leg of mutton duly pre-
pared, and the Duke thoroughly enjoyed mis-
dinner. The warm friendship. cemented
by the leg of mutton continued unimpaired
until the Dukes death, and one of the
first acts of the Queen on coming to the
throne was to repay the doctors loan,
expressing high appreciation for his con-
siderate kindness.

The Rev. Hugh Reginald Haweis of
London, who died last week, was not
only one of the most versatile clergymen,
but probably the greatest clerical traveller
of the nineteenth century. Between 1885,
when he was appointed Lowell lecturer at

nell and Harvard and 1895 he covered no
fewer than one hundred thousand miles
outside Europe: while notes of his travels
in Italy, France Germany, Morocco and
other countries would alone fill several

TRYING TO AVOID AN EXTRA SEES
SInN

I SUM-
The Republlcanss do not Intend there
shall be an extra session of Congress If
it can be avoided. They believe that
/ if the question OF approving the constitu-
ton framed by the Cuban Constitutional
1 Convention. now in session, were to come
before Congress at this time, or at any
time before March 4. an extra session
would be necessary, because it would be
practically impossible to dispose of II in
I the limited time remaining of the present
| Congress.
There was manifested a disposition by
some Of the Republican leaders to throw
the entire responsibility of saying whether
or not the Cuban constitution was salts
factory on the President. but he would
not have it that way. He took the posi-
ton that as Congress had authorized the
war by which Cuba was freed from the
rule OF Spain il must say when stable
government had been established in the
island and when the American troops
should be Withdrawn. In order to show
Congress that he did not intend to Shout
der the entire responsibility of withdraw
D
that he instructed Gen. Wood to notify
the constitutional convention to finish It's
work al quickly as possible so that the
constitution could be presented to this
Congress.
The Republican leaders, finding that he
President refused to accept a RESPONSE
biity that did not properly belong to his
Office, have decided. It seems, to have
Congress pass resolution stating the
conditions on which American occupation
of the island will cease. 1t is said that
the resolution provides that the United
States must be permitted to establish a
naval base on the island. that Cuba must
not borrow money from other nations
without the consent Of the United States
and that all treaties made with foreign
Powers must be submitted to the United
States for their approval. Not only must
these things be done, but the constitu-
ton must be submitted to the President
and Congress for review, but the govern
ment promised by Congress may be put
in operation before the constitution is re-
viewed, provided that every step in that
direction is first approved by the Presi-
dent.
This looks very much as II Cuba were
not to have a free hand to do just as she
pleases in every respect 1t is a question
whether such restrictions on their sover-
eighty will not be warmly resented by
the Cuban people. The conditions of the
resolution amount to a protectorate over
the island, and they do not appear to be
entirely consistent with the declaration
of Congress that Cuba is free and that
the United States have no intention to ex-
ercise jurisdiction of any kind over her.
If the proposed resolution is introduced
the probabilities are that it will provoke
very lively debate Under the joint
resolutions which Congress passed, the
most the United States could do would
be to keep troops on the island until
there were assurances that the govern
ment established by the Cubans was a
stable one.

Thc President at Play.

The Congressman's Wife continues her
excellent stories in the Saturday Evening
Post Among others she tells are the
following:
We'll, you should have seen the Pres
ident al play a few weeks ago. 1t was
very pretty sight. Little Leonora P,
q child of five OF six, came one day to the
White House to see Mrs. Mckinley. Mrs.
Mckinley is very fond OF children aud
she asked Leonora to visit her Well.
Leonora arrived all starched and frilled
and with her best and primmest little
manners to the fore. Her old black NAM
my nurse was with her. and it was evil

TO be very polite, and not to sit down I'm

House unless pressed to do so, and, above
all, to answer all questions promptly.
Both the President and Mrs. Mckinley
received the child They did all they could
to make her feel at home, but Leonora
was evidently a good deal awed. At last
Mrs y Mckinley, observing the years of
the old black nanny, pressed her to sit
down, and the child 900, but Leonora said
admonishingly to her nurse in an under
tone. and holding herself bolt upright:
" No, nanny; servants must not sit
why, Leonora,' said Mrs. Mckinley,
much amused, 'mammy's an old woman
And you sit down Yourself
" Oh, yes M returned the child grave

This reply nearly bowled the President
over, and ne and Mrs. Mckinley smiled
broadly. Then Mrs. Mckinley took out
her watch, which contains a portrait of
the President. She held it out and said
| coaXingly
'Leonora, you cannot tell me of whom

"Leonora drew near and scanned the
open watch. A bright look swept over her

The bill provides that If any person shall
