Woes of Enqlish Ironmasters.

Manchester, June 26.-At the an
nual meeting of the Ebbw Vale Steel,
Iron & Coal Co, Joseph Brailsbord,
chairman of the concern, spoke bitter
ly of the disadvantage under which
British ironmasters labored against
American competition.
1T is useless" said Mr.. Brailsbord,
"to follow the advice of theorists and
adopt the latest machinery, technical
education is all useless in the face of
tariff which has permitted Americans
to hold their own markets against the
world and to sell abroad at a loss or
at a profit, as occasion offered"

London, June 24.-Lord Kitchener
has as yet sent no report of the Water
kloof mishap.
Recent events in Cape Colony seem
to prove the Boer invasion OF that
country to be serious.
A letter to the Daily Mail, dated
Cape Town, June 5, confirms the pro-
Boer report and says the invaders
number anything from 1000 to 10000,
that they are swarming all over the
eastern and midland districts and get
ting recruits and horses.
The Daily Mail remarks that con-
firmation of these assertions is need
ed, but If this information is correct
the country has been entirely misled
regarding the extent of invasion.

from the Drake d Wallace livery and
began rocking the little craft from
side TO side. Soon the keepers of the
livery heard screams and rushed to
the rescue in small boats. 1t was too

turned and was floating rapid y down
the river. The hfe-saving crew was
summoned and after a careful search
recovered the bodies. Neither could
be revived. The bodies were removed
to Bailingers morgue and prepared
for shipment to Chicago on the night

One hundred years ago a man could
not take ride on a steamboat.
He could not 60 from Washington to
New York in few hours.
He had never seen an electric light
or dreamed OF. an electric car.
He could not send a telegram.
He couldn't talk through the teIe-
phone, and he had never heard Of the
hello girl
He could not ride bicycle.
He could not call in a stenographer
and dictate a letter.
He had never received a typewriter
communication.
He had never heard of the germ the
DRY or worried over bacilli and bae-
terra.
He never looked pleasant before q
photographer or had his picture taken.
He had never heard a photograph
talk or saw a kaleidoscope turn out a
prize fight.
He never saw through a Webster's
Unabridged Dictionary with the aid of
a Roentgen ray.
He had never taken a ride in an eIe-
vator.
He had never imagined such thing
as a typesetting machine or a type
writer.
He had never used anything but q
wooden pillow.
He had never seen his wife useing a
sewing machine.
he had never struck match on his
pants or anything else.
He couldn't take an anaesthetic and
have his leg cut of without feeling 1t.
He had never purchased a 10 cent
magazine which would haYe been re
garded as a miracle of art.
He could not buy a paper for a cent
aud learn everything that had hap
pened the day before all over the
world.
He had never seen a Mccormick
reaper or a seIf-binding harvester.
He had never crossed an iron bridge.
In short, there were several things
that he could not do and several things
that he did not know.

Thrift

Thrift is a habit which requires to be
formed early. The boy or girl who
does not realize the value of money Is
not likely to be prudent in later life.
Like other habits, good or bad, thrift
Is contagious. The child who saves
pennies instead Of spending them, and
is ablo to show a bank book arouses
emulation in, others. Whatever en-
.courages children to save small sums
of mouey does good, not only by pre-
venting immediate waste Of money but
by creating among children a public
sentiment favorable to thrift.
What is done In this country by vol
untary organizations is done on lar
ger scale in France by the savings
banks. The children Of the common
schools deposit with their teacher any
sum Of money they save, from a sou,
which is about the equal to an Ameri-
can cent, upward Once a month
agents Of the savings banks 60 the
rounds of the schools and collect the
ehildren's savings. He who deposits
but single sou receives small bank
book, aud when he has deposited a
franc be receives q large bank book.
During the last seventeen years
French boys and girls have opened
more than half million accounts in
savings banks. Many children, or
their parents for them, deposit a in
dowment f1nd, which Is ment to give
them a capital Of from 81 600 to 5000
when they become OF age.
1t IS worth considering whether in
this county. some modification Of the
French plan is practicable, BY which
savings banks should co Operate with
school teachers in promoting the habit
OF saving among chiidren.-Youth's
Companion.

The death Of Philip D. Armour re-
moves from the field Of business acti-
vities a strong and striking character.
The great packing and grain-dealing
establishments founded and built up
Ry him viii remain as a testimonial Of
his business enterprise, diligence and
remarkable thrift. One Of the pleasing
features Of review Of this mans life
vas that he abhorred a hoarder of
money, and Whatever wealth he had or
accommodated was put into use and
gave thousands Of people employment.
Another Characteristic is highly com
mendable-he was kind and patient
with his employees and paid them good
living wages, according to their ability
and skill. he vas also philanthropfc
snd gave large amounts to Benevolent
work among the poor. He was no
bigots no Pharisee, but did his bene-
VIOLENT sets from the spontanety Of his
good nature and because Of heartfelt
sympathy with the poor and unfor-
tunate. His benefactions. as well as
his business, VIII live after him.

The state dispeusary system for the
sale Of liquors in South Carolina, for
which Governor TiIIman was much ridi-
culed and criticised, appears to be a
mOney-maker. Not including Deem
berthe heaviest trade month Of the year
amounted to s., 4s1, 900, and for the full
yeaI probably to nearly three millions.
This would be nearly 81, 100000 In ex-
cess Of the sales in 1899. The state re-
ceived net profits Of ten per cent,
amounting to $4,000, which goes TO
the schools. The state started the
dispensary business in 1894 with $50
600 appropriated by the state. This
has been refunded, an equal amount
invested in real estate, and a stock Of
$4,000 paid for is carried constantly.

pensaries In state.-Topeka Journal.

-Pick-Me-Up
The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1901-01-11

Some men never find out that they
have become a back number. Grover
Cleveland is one Of this sort. He
would like to become the democratic

party and the party repudiated him.
He is on the shelf for good, and should
remain in the state of innocuous
desuetude.
