CHOOSING COMPARTMENTS

There is one thing of vast import
ance to the young man; that is his
choice of company. Very much of
what his position in life is depends
upon the kind of people whom he
chooses for associates. We are as
yet largely initiative. We uncon-
sciously catch the tricks of spe ech,
little mannerisms, from those with
whom we are in daily contact. When
young man has formed his ideal
OF the kind of man he would like to
become he should choose his com
panions from among those of simi-
lar alms and whose standards are
equally high; those who more near
ly come up to his ideal character.
And his ideal is apt to be formed
from those whom he sees in child
hood and youth. So it is important
that a choice of playfellows and
youthful friends should be made
for him before he has come of age
to judge for himself.
He must be taught how to choose.
Should he choose as friends those
of inferior character, he will be
classed with them in the worlds
opinion. He will find it difficult to
live up to his own standard, and his
standard is apt to be lowered. He
will be influenced by their modes
of thought. He will find himself
falling into their manners and hab.
its. The Dutch have a proverb "He
that lives with cripples learns to
limp" Constant association With
one who stutters 10 apt to lead an
other into the came habit. You
may defend yourself against fire, or
other dangers, but you cannot cave
yourself from the evil effects of bad
company. One would better be
alone than in bad company. If you
do not find your superior, or at least
your equal, among those about you,
keep alone. "There is no compan-
ionship in fool" IF a young man
shows preference for good COM
pany he will gain the respect of
good people and will meet with a
welcome in desirable circles. Do
not be content short of the best.
Remember, meanwhile, that money
is low standard by which to
choose. Look to character and per-
sOnal worth.

Manila dispatches of Wednesday
tell of the capture of Aguinaldo, by
Brigadier General Funston, the
prisoner now being in charge of
Gen. Macarthur, at Manila.
The disposition of Aguinaldo,
now that he has been apprehended
will be interesting one for the adj
1ninistration to determine. The
possibility of his capture at any
time has always had been kept in
view and that of his future had been
matter of informal discussion by
the officials. 1t is not believed
however, that any definite line of
action was ever determined upon in
regard to the matter. The attitude
of the government for long time
past has been one of comparative
Indifference to Aguinaldo's capture
it having been determined to crush
the rebellion without regard to his
whereabouts. His recent activity
in directing the course of opera.
tons against the American forces
probably brought about the recent
change in this attitude.
AS the leader of an insurrection
against the United States govern
ment Aguinaldo may be tried and
executed. a lesser punishment
meted to him by. executive clemencv
or complete amnesty extended.

IF man has sum of money the
interest earnings of which he will
not need for, say ten years, there is
no better investment than the pur-
chase of timber land anywhere, ex-
cept perhaps in the white pine Sec
tons, where timber values have ap-
preached almost their ultimate linn
it of increase. Such an investment
will discount government bonds and
is almost as safe. The only dangers
are from trespass and fire, but both
of these with care can be reduced to
a minimum. IF a large sum be avail
able it may be invested in large
tracts of any kind of lumber, hard
wood or pine, anywhere in the coun-
try, but if the. amount be small a
good bunch of hardwood timber, of
such size as can be carried, will
yield fine returns.-Anerican Lum-

ON THE MIDWAY.

"A little nonsense now and then In
olden time has developed into a great
deal OF fun and frolic In our age. While
the Pan.American Exposition Is a vast
educational institution, the scholars"
require a recess In which to play. The
Midway has been provided at a cost OF
about three million dollars for this pur.
pose. Although II will be the most
attractive playground ever provided, II
amounts to great deal more. In II a
person may travel year In day. The
great fascination OF foreign travel is occa.

If there is any demand for state
