@ RANK A MUNsEY. the Nun
 sey's Magazins man, has JC bought the Washington Times.
 I admire Munsey's nerve and l will weger that he will make Q good paper of it. and money from it. Munsey is born newspaper man. He is a fnafi- ager He knows good men when he comes In contact with them, and he will have no other connected with his publications.
 or Munsey's Magazine he has made a great success, because in it he prlrts that which the people want to read. and he has the push and energy about him to place his magazine within the reach Of all the people of this country He Nas the first publisher to reduce his magazine to ten cents. The news companies fought binl-tney boycotted his publica1 ion. He beoamc a news company himself. placed his magazine On every news stand in America and f1rally forced the American News Company to his terms. He now sells his magazine to the American News Company for cents a copy. This com pany sells 1t to local dealers for ' cents copy, and the local dealers sell it to in- dividual readers for 10 cents copy.
 am told the news compsny now takes a million copies a month. ordering so many copies sent to each newsdealer. Munsey rays the postage. The newsdeal- CTS remit to the An erican News Com papy This company then iemits to Nun sey. Figure this out and you may see that tho American News Company gets $1O,cOO Q month. from Munsey. Munsey therefore gets seO.oOo month on sales from his magazine, less postage. Postage is che cent a pound. Thus you might say he gets five cents cory net for his mag azine. The white paper composing 1t costs fully five cents for each copy. The money he makes, therefore, must come from the advertising matter.
 His editorial and publication expense must be at least thirty thousand dollars a month-that is for one issue. His ad- vertising patronage at this time must be in the neighborhood of sixty thousand dollars an issue. Therefore there is perhaps thirty thousand dollars a month profit in the magazine. But ii was only few years ago that Munsey was standing a loss of twenty thousand dollars a month. He retained his nerve and his optimistic proclivities in hard times, and he Is now reaping his re- ward.
 In Washington he will have a struggle to make the Morning and Evening Times financial success, but those who know Frank Munsey cannot believe he can fail | though several hundred thousand dollars have been sunk by men who have pre-

ALAsAMA,s AGED INDIAN DYING

 From the Eufaula q. T) Journal.
 John Lottka, who says he is a little more than a hundred years old, is slowly dying of old age at his little home two miles south of Eufaula. John was thir- ty-odd years old and veteran warrior when he came to the Indian Territory from Alabama with his people. He is one Of the few survivors of the Indian war with Jackson.
 John Is a Christian, a member of the Baptist Church and otherwise a good man. A few days since he became i'll and realized that he was dying and began to set his house in order. He sent for his friend John Ingram and gave him the money to settle up what debts he owed. John said he was now too old to enjoy life and wanted to die.
 John Lottka, according to his own statement, though he does not know the exact date, was born in east central Ala about 1799 or 1900. He has seen his peo- pie, the Creeks, pass through many peri ods of their history When he was a young warrior they were numerous and powerful, rich in a great and rich coun- try comprising the greater part of Ala bama and Georgia and part of Missis- sippi and Florida He participated in their early successful wars and later in the disastrous wars with the white men. He saw them lose their country little by little, and he saw his people die by war and famine, and finally their removal to the Indian Territory, where the tribe took a lpaGa fa l.. came happy and prosperous until the white man came once more to make his fortune, kill the game and ruin the h. dian.
 The history of the Creek people is 8 sad one, and it is typified in the life of John Lottka.

Bothersome Treasury Surplus.

The last Congress repealed war taxes that had produced $4O,OO0O00 a year, expecting in that way to abolish a troublesome treasury surplus, but so prosperous have the times become and so much have expenditures been reduced that the surplus is still with us in full force. In the first four months of the present fiscal year the surplus is $27,000,000. At this rate the surplus by July l, when the fiscal year will be ended, will be fully $150,- 000,000. The revenue is not larger than last year, but expenditures are much less on account of bettered state of affairs in the Philippines. War and naval expenses have both been re- duced, alike in the Philippines and in Cuba and Porto. Rico. Under such circumstances the surplus by July 1 will be at least $14O,OOO,OOO, and it may go to $180,0u0,0O0.
 This means that vast sum is to be hoarded in the treasury that trade needs. It means that immense ap- propriations will be invited, and much waste encouraged. Secretary Gage can, it is true, buy more bonds, but before he can do this the men who are pushing jobs upon Congress will have succeeded at least in part.
 It is said the programme of the Re publican leaders of the Senate is to be thus:
 l. To further reduce the war reve- nue taxes, but not to abolish the en- tire list,
 y 2. To thoroughly discuss tariff re- vision, but to take no present steps to make it operative.
 3. To devise some method by which reciprocity can be effected by legis- 1ation instead of by treaties. f
 It is thought more. war taxes will be repealed, but that the tax on bucket shops, which now yields about $10,- 000,000 a year, will not be removed. Tariff reduction will be discussed up to the point of encouraging heavy campaign contributions in 1904. Tariff reform will be made to appear immi-  nent, but nothing will be done, because a vast campaign fund will be needed in 1904 The principle of reciprocity will be freely endorsed in speeches, but not one of the twenty-two treaties now before the Senate will be acted upon, because each of them affects lnis or that trust, and all trusts stand ready to contribute handsomely in 1904. It will in short, be a session on the part of the Senate looking to an unprecedented campaign fund. The trusts are to be bled freely, but they will be permitted to recoup from the consumers. who arc not intelligent enough to see and punish these arts of indirect taxation and robbery.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 A woman can be a lady and go had but she can't go bad and be a lady.
 There Is nothing that curdles like n woman's instinct when she mixes it with a little reason.
 The longer it takes a woman to find out that she loves a man the harder sba does 1t, and the more he wishes she wouldn't.
 If babies aren't interesting they're pretty, and if they aren't pretty they're interesting, so all the mothers are happy all the time.
 Some women seem to think that every once in so often they've got to contradict everything you say or you won't have any respect for their brains.

 From Loveman, Joseph & Loebs comes "The Surprise Book" by Nell K Me- Elphone, and illustrated by Albertine Randall Wheelan. The illustrations arc simply great. The book consists chiefly of illustrations, and every one of them is a full-page picture, and every one is mirth-provoking or delightful. The stories are briefly told in rhyme and then retold in Miss Wheelan's clever pie lures. '
 Legends of King Arthur and His Court" from the press of Ginn & Co.,, Boston, is an admirable book for young people who desire to understand the myths of the middle ages-myths that Tennyson has woven into song and ,Wag- ner into music. The book was written by Francis Nunmo Greene, and is cleverly illustrated by Edmund H, Garrett The author has accepted the Tennyson yer sions of the various legends, thus strip ping them of their barbarities, but re- taining all of their romance and chivalry. Ane lueal kniSnti1ess tnaL lTennyson has pictured Is we'll presented in Frances Nunmo Greene's clever volume. The in- stitution of chivalry together with all the incidents of the tourney are finely traced, and no one can we'll afford to dis regard the practices of chivalry which were designed to cultivate in men that courage and gentleness and high sense. of honor essential in all ages. to Ideal character. The author of the volume be- fore us is a resident of Alabama's capia tai city. 2
