Words Of Wisdom.

He who longs for love must learn to
love.
The muzzle does not cure the dog OF
madness.
Great works are but small one
greatly done.
Only he who works in the world can
live above it.
The wages of sin are always paid
right on time.
Dignity depends not on the task but
on the master.
Only the pure in heart can be power
full and brave.
Moral diseases breed in the swamp
of the impure heart.
1t is no sign of meanness to seek to
live within your means.
Even repentance cannot call back
the arrow from it's fight.
A man shows his character most of
ten by what he laughs at.
The future and the past are the
powers that determine the present.
1t makes all the difference whether
the world is in your heart or your
heart is in the world.
A courageous man is not so much he
who is brave to snatch pleasure as he
who is ready to bear pain.
He who cannot bless the waves that
beat him homeward must have little
longing for home.

more powerful than before, when ar

when railways have changed the
whole art of war, that we find the
system of instruction differing very
little from that employed in the days
of Napoleon, or, for the matter of
that, in the days of Gustavus Adolf
phus. Yet even among military men
themselves the more enlightened feel
as many doubts as Marshal SAKE.
That the methods to be adopted in
the future wars are a matter of grave
doubt has been declared by writer's as
eminent as Won Rhone, Janson, Null
Ter, Pellet-Narbonne and Sliugar-
ewsky. 1t is expressed excellently in
the words of Gen. Luzeux: Let the
instructors first agree among them

came the father of four pairs of twins

is Col. John Sobieski, king without

at six years old he found himself with
his eXiled mother in a strange land,
without worldly possessions. Of his
great ancestor, King John III, Charles

never to have died" This descendant
inherits many of his noble qualities.
When the colonel was four years old
lin 1S46) his father, Count John, and
grandfather led revolt against Rus

were captured and murdered, after re-

some Russian prison. The wife had
supposed her husband dead, but just

being banished from her home She
answered bravely, choosing that her
boy should love liberty and despise op-
preston. She had left over half mil

home and was not allowed 10 return

ways flow little current of public in

there was a plot to murder several
others on the night when Lincoln was
assassinated. OF these, Secretary
Seward came very near losing his life.
Early in April he was injured in an
accident and confined in his room,
where Mr.. Blaine died about 30 years
later. Mr.. Robinson, a convalescent
at Douglass army hospital, was de-

Especial Los Angeles (Cal) Letter.1
DERHAPS no section of the world,
covering the same number of
acres, contains 4 greater number
of people with whose life history is
connected so much of general interest
as southern California. Los Angeles
and the surrounding country present
such a variety of climate and scenery
as to attract presentatives of all ma
tionalities and give them home-like
feeling. a person would be hard, in
deed, to please to whom sea, mountain,
hill, valley, mesa, snow and orange
blossom all appealed in vain. The
country possesses a certain fascina-
ton for all who visit it and the pleas
ant winters attract many who wish to
pass the Last years of life without Sc
we're china ic changes. The people all
seem to feel that they "knew a good
thing" and to be well satisfied with
their choice of home. The number of
vigorous old people whom one meets
on the streets of Los Angeles seems
quite remarkable. The out-of-door
customs of the inhabitants evidently
prolong life. Judge John L. Knox, 01
years old, is one of the survivors of the
Black Hawk war. He willingly tells
the story of his connection with that
unpleasantness, ascribing very little
glory to himself. The sound of the
voice of the old chief was sufficient to
strike terror to any heart. Judge
Knox was one of an "army" of 5000
volunteers who assisted in subduing
the Indians in northern Illinois, in 1892.
By reason of illness he was only in the
first battle, which was very exciting,
but from which the followers of Back
Hawk certainly bore away the honors
of war. From this time the population
'of 1llionis grew rapidly and the judge
began to feel the need of more space.

brought medicines from the surgeon
and must see Mr.. Seward at once. In
face of all opposition he sprang up
the stairs, wounded Mr.. Frederick
Seward, who had rushed into the hall,
in the head, dealt Mr.. Robinson ter
rible blow, cutting the scalp and fore
head, pushed Miss Fannie aside and
placed his now broken pistol on Mr..
Stewards chest and with long knife
struck desperately at his head and
neck, making deep gashes. Mr.. Robin
son leaped upon the bed, as the knife
reached the secretary's neck for the
second time, and pulled the would-5e
murderer to the floor. Now desper-
ate hand-to-hand conflict ensued. Mr..
Robinson was weakened by the gum
shot wound he had received at Peters
burg, but was naturally powerful
man, and, In spite of the furious strug-
giles of his antagonist to free his hands,
pushed him towards the doorway. :
Meantime Miss Fannie's shrieks had

himself and bounded after him, stab

of the hall door, mounted his horse and
dashed off. He was Lewis Payne. a tail,
blonde young man who was afterwards
hanged, together with the other con-
spirators. A guard was placed around
the house, at Mr.. Robinson's sugges-
ton, and remained during the four
years that Mr.. Seward continued in
office. 1t was thought for some time
that he could not recover. Mr.. Robin
sons description of his life-and-death
struggle with the desperate man is
very thrilling. He seldom speaks of
the occurrence.

The EXPERTS IN WAR.
Military Training Alone Not Caicu-
lated TO Develop Originality
of Thought.

The truth is that military men in
England did not show themselves one
whit more competent to estimate the
military problems of the Boer war
than civilians. They relied, like civil
ians, on tradition, and laughed at the
idea that any such changes had taken
place in the art of war as Were pre-.
dicted by theorists, who declared
among other things, that offensive
warfare was much more difficult than
formerly, says Jean de Bloch, in
National Review. The cause of mill
tary blindness is in no way obscure.
Military training is itself antagonistic
to original thought. 1t is no wonder,
therefore, that nowadays when rifles
and artillery are a hundred times
