Richard lie Gaillienne, poet who is
spending the winter months in Minnean-
oils, finds conditions in the Flour citv
somewhat different from those of the
English metropolis, says the New York
commercial. London, you know" has
FEWER street railways than MINNEAPOLIS
which boasts one of the best systems in
the states. and at home the poet is in the
haoit OF calling ''cabby'' whenever he
wants lift for few blocks
There 1t is question of taking a cab
or taking walk, but Richard lie Gal
llenne finds the latter difficult and the
former expensive in Minneapolis: and. al
though they are not to his liking, he is
gradually becoming content with the
street cars. Soon after the master of
verse arrived in Minneapolis he approach

forthwith he hailed the gripman on

Gould you take me right quick, my
good fellow, to No. 1902 Second avenue s
for a tuppenny bit?"
The gripman vouchsafed no answer
merely motioning with his mittened hand
to the rear over his right shoulder, the
conventional form of reference to the
conductor out in Minneapolis. But the
London rhymesmith took it to mean the
next car in the rear. and. after walking
back about a mile and meeting a dozen
or more cars-always with the same
query and the same result-he finally dis
covered that that line didn't run to Sec

he turned his galoshes westward.

ruE VENEZUELAN WAR CLOUD.


1t begins to look as If the fight be-
tween two American companies over the
asphalt deposits in Venezuela. about
| which 50 much was heard just at the
close of the presidential campaign, will
4 be productive Of serious trouble between
this country and Venezuela. One OF these
companies is known as the New York and
Bermudez Asphalt Company and the other
as the Fehcidad Company. the
latter company being composed Of
citizens Of Syracuse. N. Y. The
New York and Bermudez Company
has hs titles straight from the
authorities having the power to grant
them. and has been in possession OF the
| asphalt properties for about fifteen years.
1t has punctually paid the royalty to the
government
II Is asserted that revolution against
President Castro Is Threatened, and he
is greatly In need of money with which
to defend his government. AS a matter
of fact. he put himself at the head of
the government by means of a revolution.
1t is believed that the FeNcgdad Com
pany has undertaken to furnish him with
what money he wants for military pur-
poses. on condition that ne will turn the
asphalt mines over to 1t. OF course it
has some sort OF a title. The title con-
sists In the claim that the New York and
Bermudez Company In marking 'out the
boundaries OF its concession fifteen or
more years ago, ran It's lines crooked so
as to include the asphalt deposit. Presi-
dent Castro. 1t is understood. holds that
II the lines had been run straight, as they
should have been, the asphalt deposit
would be outside of the concession. OF
course the New York and Bermudez Com
pany deny that there Is any foundation
for this claim, and the matter is now tn
the courts
President Castro. however, does not
seem disposed to wait for the decision of
che courts. He has decided the issue
in accordance with his own views. and he
proposes to dispossess the New York and
Bermudez Company by force. This com
pany has armed its employees and is pre-
pared to defend its property In the mean
time 1T has appealed to the State Depart
ment at Washington. and that depart
ment has notified the government of Ven
ezuela that the United States will see TO
it that the property Of It's citizens In Ven
ezuela is protected-that they do not un-
dertake to say which company is the
owner of the deposits but that the courts
of Venezuela must determine the question
of ownership.
The situation is somewhat complicated
by the seizure of two of the steamers of
the Orinoco Steamship Company, a com
pany which flies the British flag, but
which has some American stockholders.
1t is supposed that the steamers are
wanted by President Castro's forces in
their efforts to dispossess the New York
and Bermudez Company.
Two American warships have been or
dered to the scene of the trouble and
more will be sent If they should be need
ed. The hope is expressed in Washing
ton that President Castro will see that
he has adopted a wrong course and will
change his policy. If he does not he will
nave a war on his hands that will be
more serious than that threatened by the
dissatisfied people OF his own state.

TEACH CHILDREN TO WORK.

Dr. Z. Fl. Roberts a millionaire retired
dentist of Poughkeepsie, N. Y, had as a
favorite maxim. during the rearing Of
family of several sons and daughters
mo one. be he rich or poor. has a right
TO consume more than he produces" Liy-
ing up to that principle, he educated his
childrens hands as well as their heads
and upon their leaving school he required
them to work at some trade or business
and to manage their affairs so that they
would be profitable To one daughter he
gave the management of farm; another
daughter. vassar girl. he made manager
of the dairy, including the milk routes;
a son was placed In charge of a saw
mill. The several children were each sim
ilarly provided with employment, and re-
CURED to work and become proficient In
their undertakings. notwithsta nding their
father was worth millions of dollars. And
the three elder children. 1T is reported
have been as successful as workers and
bread winners as their father could have
reasonably wished. The younger ones are
progressing favorably. 1t does not dis
parage the doctors scheme. by the way
to note that the eldest daughter is now
applying TO the court to have her father
declared incompetent to manage his own
affairs The daughter having become so
proficient as manager through prohting
by the precepts instiled by her father.
thinks that now. in his old age. she is
the better business man" Of the two.
The line upon which DR.. Roberts worked
in preparing his children for the RESPONSE
biities of life is the correct one The
parent who rears a child for a life OF
ideness does his duty by neither the child
nor society. A bequest of money alone
will not compensate for lack OF the
knowledge of how to be self-sustainfng
Riches often take wings and fly away:
in which event the formerly rich person
VINO knows not how to earn q dollar is
in worse condition than If he or she
had been born and reared in poverty.
No set rule can be made for the In
struction of children in the Industrial and
domestic arts; circumstances should. and
will determine the details But, as a
broad proposition. fathers and mothers
owe 1t to their offspring, OF both sexes,
to do what they can toward preparing
them to be able to take care Of them
selves when they become men and wo-
men. In too many instances boys and
girls grow up in ignorance of the RESPONSE
biltIes OF life and in utter disability to
earn their own bread in case of neces-
sity because their parents eyes are
blinded 20 the possibilities of the future
by the present possession Of money.

From the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
The fount of youth has oft been sought
Since days of long ago,
And oft in fancy men have seen
Its living waters flow.
Through desert. swamp and wilderness
The search has been pursued,
In hope that by the magic font
Youths charms might be renewed
But men have turned from that vain
quest,
Their hopes forever crushed.
For though they searched through all the
world
No magic fountain gushed.
And men resigned themselves to age
That robbed them OF their grace,
That snapped their strength and thickly
spread
Times wrinkles on the face.
In later years mems thoughts have turned
To plans for longer life,
And in elixirs they have sought
New strength for daily strife.
And of It's heralded abroad
That scientist or sage
Has finally evolved a plan
To stay the blight of age.
But men grow old. and women, too
AS in the days OF yore,
For no elixirs they have tried
Their youthful charms restore.
And as they can't deceive themselves
Some seek to hide the truth,
And dye or bleach their hair and paint
on cheeks the hues of youth.
The fount OF youth is in each heart,
And those who keep II pure
win longer hold the charms of youth
And length of life secure.
And when at last that fountain fails,
And old age on them steals.
They'll bear it well because no man
Is oder than he feels.

A SETBACK FOR THE MISSION
ARIES

In the settlement that will be made
by the Powers with China ample provi-
sion will be made for the missionaries
that is the missionaries will have all the
opportunities they want to make converts
to Christianity in China. They will be
protected in going wherever they want
to in the empire and will have even
greater privileges than they had before
the Boxer trouble began. But will the
Chinese, after their experience with the
soldiers of Christian nations, take as
kindly to the Christian religion? 1t is
doubtful 1t will take a long time
for them to forget the brutalties. the
cruelties and the nameless outrages to
which they have been subjected in the
provinces in which the allied armies have
been and still are.
The extent OF the footing will In all
probability never be known, though, from
what has appeared in the public prints,
1t is certain that the soldiers have stolen
everything they could get their hands
on. The footing was by wholesale. Sir
Robert Hart, writing of what he saw in
EShlls Sdlus ENFh SUING HilSS4O lld TIES
took such leading part In spelling the
| Egyptians for the greater glory of God
that a bystander was heard to say, For
century to come Chinese converts will
consider footing and vengeance Christian
virtuesr"
The killing of inoffensive men and the
outraging of helpless women by soldiers
have been on scale far greater than the
majority of the Christian world sus-
pect. Some idea OF what has really taken
place in China is just beg ming to be
understood The letters of eye-witnesses
are being published, and the stories they
are telling are well calculated to bear
out the opinion Of some OF the best OBJ
servers that it will be long time be-
fore the mis- ionaries will get the hold
upon the Chinese they once had.
