HURRY eide" KILLS.
How Trusts Affect Individual Live. In
New York.

The conditions OF life in the business
world are more precarious and more
hopeless today than at any time in the
past three decades. This is the state
ment OF John P. Mowbray in The
Making of Country Home in Every
body's Magazine. The conditions Of
personal merit and fidelity to an en-
ployer have enlarged in our time. So
long as our employers were individuals
who trained and appreciated special fit
ness in their employees. and kept their
eyes on fidelity, smartness and honesty
We felt safe. 1t was to their interest
TO advance US. But all that is chang
ing, passing into corporate irresponsi
bility and abstract bossship. Look at
our friend Warner. He was with
big firm ten years. He knew every
pulse OF their business and managed
his department like clockwork. He
was twenty-four-hundr
man. But the firm Joined trust, gaze
over the personal supervision of their
business to the new brand of overseers
and the first thing they did was TO ship
Warner and put ifteen-hundred-dol-
lar-a-year man in his place. Do you
know what happened to Warner:
Why, he was your friend who was
killed. wasn't he?" He committed
what the reckless fellows in the Aston
Rouse rotunda call 'hurrycide' War
nsr tried to jump for an electric car,
and those fellows have CHASTITY humor
which attributes such an act to a man
who sas overdrawn his accounts, or
ha> played the tape-linc too rashly.
But the fact is. Warner suffered a kind
OF moral paralytic stroke. He couldn't
realize that ten years of scrupulous
seif-sacriticing attention to another
vans business could end in that way.
1t bothered him, and it doesn't do for
the average man to get bothered when
on Broadway at the rush hour. II he

Naturalists declare that there are 172
species OF blind creatures known to
science, but many hundreds of species
of blind cave insects have been dis
covered in recent years. They are
mostly white. either from lack of the
stimulus of light or from bleaching of
the skin. Some species have small
eyes, and some have none. There are,
no doubt, many more species still to
be discovered. as nearly every descrip-
ton of fish found in the sea at great
depths, where the light cannot pene-
trate, is quite blind. To make up for
the lack of sight they are provided
with feelers most delicately construct
ed. Blind insects. as well as fish are
found in the Mammoth Cave of Ken
lucky, and in fact, blind creatures are
common in all situations not otherwise
hostile to the existence of animal life
where light is absent. The want of
sight in these creatures is believed to
be the direct effect of the absence of
the stimulus of light for in most cases
rudimentary eyes are found, proving
the fact of degeneration.-New York

And the story is doubly interesting
as showing how history will repeat 1t
self, though we regard the Kansas IN
cident which We are about TO relate
as the funnier of the two. In 1865, the
famous Judge Joyce was justice OF
the peace in Hays City. and, as the
only judicial officer in the region, az
ministered the law with an autocraLc
hand. In the town there were TWO Jaw
yers, only one of whom has to do VITA
this story. His name was Ryan, and
some months before he and Judgs
Joyce had quarreled. with the result
of Ryan being disbarred from practice
on the ground that he had been Con
federate soldier whose disabilities ha4
never been removed OF course the
fact Of Ryan's being Confederate SOL
der was not cause for his disbarmeGt.
and, anyway, Joyce had no right to
disbar him. but everything went in
the west in those days, and for some
months Ryan had TO stay out Of court.
However, after Joyce had considered
his enemy sufficiently punished he sent
word to him that he could come into
court The next case which came up
for trial was against a fellow who had
stolen a COW. and he engaged Ryan to
defend him. In due course the prose
cution made its case a good one, by the
way, but while the witnesses were be-
ing examined Ryan sat with his hat
pulled down over his eyes, saying
never a word. AT last. when the guilt
of the prisoner had been established
beyond all doubt. the prosecution
rested. and. turning to Ryan, Judge
Joyce said:
THE defense can now take the

What the his the use? A man
can't get justice in this court re-

"Misther Constable, adjoorn the

feet Come outside. we monkey

And whereupon everybody ad-

tce it. Many significant things will
result from what has just passed be-
tween Emperor William and his uncle.
Edward VII. of England. Before
many years the old Austrian emperor
will die. The old second-rats empire
will then fall TO pieces, and what will
be more natural than that Germany
should possess the part Of it which
now borders on the Adriatic? The
German empire will then be continu-
Gus from the North Sea to the Mediter-
ranean. Germany has already built
railroads in Asia Minor between the

and, last of all, mighty republic in
the island of Australia.

Edgar Saltus, the great journalist

Bishop Thoburn's prophesy. He says:
The bishop is a great man from a re-

him to see that Russia win within the
