ALGIE CRnoIx,s GENIAL.

Prof. Crook, "the Good makes a
final statement to the public on the
subject with which his name has been
connected so much of late in the news
papers. To begin with, he makes haste
to emphatically deny the statement of
those girls in the Latin Quarter of Paris
who declared in Paris newspaper that
he had Rugged and kissed them ever
so many times He.says he hasn't been
in Paris for ten years and never lived
in the Latin Quarter. Here is his final
statement of how the story about him
got out and the exact amount of truth
there is in it:
"One day I was talking with young
man who had a reputation of being wild.
l was deeply interested in him, as L am
in every young man and young woman
who come before me as students in my
classes.
I assured him OF my deep soiicitude for
his future If he persisted in the ways he
had adopted. He argued the question with
me and insisted that everybody expected
young men to sow wild oats. He said
that every young man did and that they
were better and wiser for Il vhen they

who loves not women. wine and song
Will live a fool his whole life long.
IT lost patience with him and told him
he was utterly wrong, but he insisted he
was no different from what other men had
been at his age, and then he said that
perhaps If I were to look back and re-
member some of my old school days I
might have fellow feeling for him. This
called from me the remark that had not
intended to pose as an example, but that
if he were to follow me as a model he
would never smoke, drink, chew, lie or
flirt with women. for had never done
any of these things in my life.
This young man told one of his friends
of what had said. 1t soon became noised
about and the newspapers got it,
But the disguised Professor gets back
at the gaping and guying world in the
solar plexus. These are indeed de-
generate days." he exclaims. 1t is
still a question at which to wonder
most-at the college professor, thirty
seven years old, who never swore,
smoked, drank, chewed or kissed wo-
man, or at the world that stood aghast
when it found such a man."

MIR. MkINLEY HEARS A SERMON
ON TRUSTS

That was an uncomfortable hour-and-
a-half which the President spent at the
Station street Methodist Episcopal
Church in Ell Paso, Texas, listening to
sermon on Trusts and the Present
Social Conditions Existing in the United
States" from the lips of the pastor and
friend of his boyhood days, Rev. Mr..
Leftwitch. Said the preacher:
so long as the selfish greed for gold
is embodied in our civil institutions and
protected and fostered by our civil laws
we will have financial and economic trou-
bles, conflicts between labor and capital,
strikes, instruction, lawlessness and
crime, and with these the unrest, uncer-
tainty, insecurity and disasters that visit
our country periodically.
I'VE condemn the largest holders of
wealth and hold responsible the trusts,
the combines, the monopolies and the
financial policies of adverse political par
ties. When self-sacrifice for the good of
others is the law of the kingdom of God,
rankest infidelity.
out of the wrecking of private industries,
and trusts, and combines and corporations,
with multi-millionaires of Apital make
corners of the necessities Of life, and this
is sustained by public sentiment, and
protected by law, our land ray continue
to bring forth plentifully, our mines and
mountains may continue to pour their
rich ores into the lap of industry, our
manufactures may continue to multiply
in every State and county, but the uncer-
tainty, the injustice, the oppression and
the corresponding poverty and crime will
continue"
1t was unkind of the reverend gentle
man to worry Mr. Mckinley in this
fashion when the President was trying
to leave the cares and responsibilities
of state behind him. Still the incident
was one of kind that must continu-
ally recur 1t is the Banquo's ghost
at the feast of Plutocracy. 1t will not
down.

A SOLDIER on THE CANTEEN.

Probably no argument would change
the fixed view of those long-distance
moralists who insist on the abolition
of the army canteen, but the following
simple statement of act by a Pennsyl-
yania soldier written to his mother
from his camp in the Philippines, Will
be interesting, and is better argu-
ment on the subject than any the re-
formers who never saw an army can
teen can advance:
I Just wish the w. c. T. U. had
some of their members present in Tarlac
on pay day and the two following days
1t was simply awful the way the sololers
became demoralized. In the first place
they had too much money, having had TO
pay no canteen bills. Secondly, there was
no army canteen in which to spend 1t, and
where they would have had to keep order.
The result was that they just roamed
around all over town among the different
canteens kept by civilians, and the amount
of drunkenness and fighting was enor-
nous. Out of our little detachment alone
five were put in the guardhouse, ana
twice as many deserved it, and you ought
to see the number of black eyes and
bruised faces. 1t was awful. Now, Tor
myself am not a drinking man, but l
believe that the army canteen is an alb
solute necessity. You see, the majority
of the men drank before they came in the
army and, of course, they are bound to
keep it up. Now, when the canteen was
in existence they were able to draw
checks during the two months between
pay days at the rate of three dollars at
a time, and the result was that there was
very little drunkenness, and another was
that the companies got all the profits.
These went into the company funds, and
were used to buy extra food. Now the
outsiders get it all and the companies get
nothing; and we have to depend on Gov
eminent straight" To be sure, we still
have considerable of a fund, but with
nothing coming in that will soon be ex-
hauSted. All the talk about the Govern
ment enticing men to drink is bosh. In a
Government canteen nothing but beer and
light wines could be bought, while in the
other canteens everything is sold; and I
can assure you that the best of liquors is
not sold, either.

day. Miss Margaret Leary. the girl op-
orator mentioned, has been photograph
ed and interviewed as only the New
York "yellows" can do it.
Yet, what is it all about? Those
sort of things" says the ungrammat-
ical, but earnest Miss Leary in explana-
ton, "are characteristic of Mr.. Rock
efeller. He is always picking up the
boys and girls about town and giving
them rides" The fact of his enormous
riches did not strike the girl in this
connection as remarkable. Pooh" said
she, what is that to me? He is no
different from any of the rest Of us,
only he is very kind and consider
ate.''
1t appears that the head of the great
Standard Oil Company, who counts his
wealth by hundreds of millions, is
very plain man in his every day life
and is on easy terms with the people OF
Tarrytown, down to the children In
the streets, whom he often has accom-
pany him on his drives The fact re-
yeals the owner of the terrible oc-
topus as a kind-hearted, normal man.
The day before he took Maggie Leary
in his carriage he had given a ride to
one of the station hands.
But shrewd little Miss Leary was
naturally troubled at the unexpected
publicity She knew that the world
which read of Mr.. Rockefeller's kindly
and ordinary courtesy did not know
the Standard Oil millionaire as larry
town knows him. Every one in Tar
rytown knows that l am honest she
said anxiously, "but the people outside!
What will they think Of this nonsense?
People here know Mr.. Rockefeller They
know he is just a common, everyday
gentleman. They trust him and his
family But the folks outside don't
know that it was a common occur
renee when he gave me little ride.
Everybody has received these courtes-
les from him 1t is nothing"
Poor little Miss Leary's reputation IS
worth more to her than all the Stand
ard Oil millions, but fortunately II IS
safe, and the explanation which saves
her good name also sheds a new and
kindly light on John D. Rockefeller

placed together in one continuous line,
would extend from London to Pekin,
and that the mere reading of the quo
tations at the rate of minute each,
and reading eight hours a day and
six days a week, would occupy thirty
two years. The whole of the quota

per, had been collected by readers who
responded to the call made by the Phil
illogical Society. In the course of the
work about about 100000 books had
been read.

The question Of how much more rev.
enue the Dawson law will bring into
the State treasury than was brought in
by the corporation law as it stood be-
fore is one that is causing the admins
tration some concern, though not as
much as it did formerly. II is apparent
now that the increase will be consider
able, but how much cannot be told
with accuracy until the first OF the
year has passed. 1t will not be near
ly so much as the champions of the bill
in the Legislature claimed It would be,
nor yet as little as the opponents of the
measure feared. The receipts from Ii
cense taxes have not yet been footed
UP, but they seem to be quite satisfact-
DRY to the State officials so far, and as
there is only a five dollar forfeit to be
paid by the companies falling to send
in their fees before the first of Septem-
ber 1t is probable that there will be
considerable more money received
from the same source before the time
for FORGETTING charters arrives. The
Republicans are trying hard now TO
create the impression that the Demo-
Gratis in the Legislature opposed the
Dawson bill because they did not want
to see the corporations pay more taxes.
OF course this is a false impression, or
no Republican would be trying to make
it. The Democrats in the House fought
the bill for three reasons. First, they
Were called on to consider it without
the opportunity to read the twenty-five
committee amendments, and without
time to read and compare them with
the sections they amended nobody could
tell their effect Second. they were op-
posed to taking the limit OF the amount
for which corporations could be capt.
talized. Third, they were opposed to
granting them the privilege Of holding
land In unlimited quantities and for
any and all purposes.

The commission raised by one of the
misfit statutes of the last Legislature
to secure a statue of the late Francis
III. Pierpont. to be placed in the corner
set apart in the national capital tor
West Virginia's greatest, met here one
day this week and decided that the ap-
preparation of $4,000 made by the act
was too small to secure a work of art
that would be creditable to the State.
That no discredit may be done, the
commission decided to open subscrip-
ton books and ask that at least $4,000
be added by private donations to the
$4,000 appropriated by the State. The
idea is that $4,000 additional will be
made to do, as it has been found that
some sort of bit of statuary can be
procured for $4,000, but if the amount
can be priced UP to $4,000 in all it
will suit the purpose better. The COM
mission to secure the statute is COM
posed of his excellency, the Governor
OF the State. Hon. A. B. White, Hon.
James F. Brown, of Charleston; Col. C.
l.. Smith, of F'airmont; Hon. w. G..

he goes for Keller, over in the Norfolk
