box of something or other, the value of
which was at least ten cents. These were

ence against others is secured.
To class of men, many of whom
are venturesome as we'll as anxious to
make some headway in life, some per-
haps overmuch so, and who do not
stop for obstacles nor hardships, this
thought must be worthy of passing
upon, for it offers great inducements
to such as are willing to endure brief
interval of hardship, and is one of the
surest courses to progress and inde-
pendence, and in which endeavor no

IN SUPPORT OF THE
DICTIONARY.

Tow TO make the best Of our
n leisure time while here, is
L i certainly a perplexing prob
lem to many. For my part,
I coincide with the man who last week
proposed the dictionary as the book of
books. No matter what ones calling
in life may be, to have proper flow of
language, combined with an under
standing of the same, is what we
should strive to acquire. The meaning
of the most simple words when one
traces them to their original sense is
not only an interesting pastime, but it
gives one an insight into what great
scholars say and write.
When we listen to religious sermon
or hear the political orators discourse,
we are then able to comprehend what
is really meant for us. Shakespeare
said, "when ignorance is bliss, tits folly
to be wise." Men Of magnanmious
generosity speak to each one of us, it
makes no difference how great the
audience may be. Who has not while
reading scientific literature seen his
own theories staring him in the face on
almost every page? By all means
give me a good dictionary and I'll
know how to invest my leisure time.

LEISURE HOURS.

7 Tow TO employ our leisure
n hours, is a question as diver
i i sifed in its requirements as
one can possible imagine.
No two minds can hardly agree upon
the merit or demerit of a work "on
any certain line of reading" let it be a
course of study or the lightest kind of
fiction. My observation leads me to
believe that the best way is to change
from one kind to the other. Quite
often it is the zone idea" man that is
the crank, it is the zone idea" man that
is bore to the social circle, it is the
zone idea" man that goes bughouse in
most cases. r.

NX JAS 1T joke? If so it
\N/ must be what is called the
Y Y American style, and the
author of the Book of
Books is humorist with big H. Or
was that article intended to be taken
seriously? Then the author must be
not only discoverer of literary merit,
but genius and philosopher. In
my ignorance had supposed the Bible
to be the "Book of Books" but then 1
am not philosopher and lack origi-
nality.
Why don't he dramatize the book ?
Decentralization is the order of the day
and there must surely be a mint of
money IN successful dramatization of
such an interesting and instructive
work as the dictionary. There probably
would be little trouble with the owners
of the copyright. Certainly not, if he
would agree to give them share of
the profits. To be sure there might be
some difficulty in correctly portraying
the characters, of which suppose there
would have to be twenty-six; but this
would not be insurmountable to one
OF such literary acumen. His first
character might be represented as
Adam, and Belshazzar or large sized
humble bee or most any kind of B for
his second.
Sometime during the last act,
Nantippe and Xenophon could be
ushered in. These are but suggestions,
however, humbly offered. "Nuf sed."

| AM CHANGED.

"But am changed since last stood
Beside that winding stream
Yes, am changed. am not now
The man with gay and thoughtless brow,
Who in the days of yore,
Watched the glad waters dance along,
Or listened as their murmuring song
Died out upon the shore.
Yes, am changed. Life wears no more
The gay romance, which then it wore;
Those dreams have passed away.
Idols, round which my heart did twine,
And deem them friendships purest shrine,
Long since have turned to clay.
A change has come DER mind and soul,
Voiceless, yet all beyond control,
And from my cheek and brow
The dew Of childhoOd's morn has fled.
Time on its wings has swiftly sped,
And left me changed, as now.
But the dear friends who blessed my lot,
In those old haunts are not forgot
In memory still they dwell;
No change can ever reach my heart
To force me with their names to part,
For oh, love them we'll!
And do I sigh for those dear hours
Spent mid thy brightly blooming flowers?
All, no! would not be.
Tossed on the waves of hopes and fears
Which dim youths brightest hours with tears
For all its Joy and glee.
Although I'm changed, holier spell
Than on my heart had ever fell
In those pure, guileless days,
Now cheers my life. whereer 1 rove,
Shedding the light of hope and love
Upon my peaceful way. P. B. B.

The Newspaper OF
Today.

THERE exists in many sections
of the country today a blind
prejudice against the so-called
"yellow journals" Those who
are so bitter against these papers give
several different reasons for their
views. They object to scare-heads,
sensations, colored illustrations, etc.
They claiE: that these papers are a
constant menace to the good morals of
the community, that they are the cause
of degeneration and are caterers to the
baser passions of the multitude. I do
not think so. There are plenty of
others who do not think so. At least
two of the leading "yellow" journals
have a circulation of over 100000
paid subscribers, which goes to show
the drift of popular opinion. Show
me any two papers outside of the
"yellow" journals that have a circula-
tion of 100000.
There are always two sides to any
question, and it is no more than fair to
hear word in defense of the "yellow"
journals before deciding against them
l will take their qualities in order and
analyZe them.
System:-The "yellow" journals are
intensely systematic. The most i'm
portant news is displayed on the front
page where it will catch the eye i'm
medistely; and it is displayed so that
it will catch the eye, in huge black
type, commonly called "scare-heads. I"
Everything is classified and has place.
Certain pages are devoted to advertise
ments: others to city news; others to

A MOST difficult problem to
~ every young man of limited
n means who aspires to attain
ing a livelihood, together with
an appreciable degree of self-independ-
ence, is the discretion of what is an
advantageous opportunity in his
natural diurnal considerations. Show
the youth an opening in the employ
of a large commercial house-such as
are many-in which probably two
clerks obtain salary of one hundred
dollars per month or over, and the
remaining twenty a salary ranging
from thirty to fifty-fve dollars, after
years of gradual advancement from
the unimportant starter of eighteen
dollars per month. say, show the
lads such an opportunity and nine out
of ten will apply for the job. If the
young men are more advanced in years,
in the same proportion they will grasp
at a thirty-five dollar starter in the
employ of such house. 1t seems that
pride rules the average man in his
selection of vocation. To be able to
say 81 work for the b. j. F. & Co., or
the +. M. Nero. Co.," outweighs all such
pertinent facts as that in five or ten
years hence in all probability he will
receive the very unimportant sum of
fifty dollars per month, with the prom
ising dependency that if the two one
hundred dollar clerks and the five or
six men next in rotation die, or quit
for some cause, he may possibly obtain
that position.
Such are the opportunities that strike
the fancy of the average man. To
verify this idea, we need but observe
the clerical force in our metropolitan
department stores, in which we find
many male clerks of fair education.
Having had the opportunity to see the
payroll of two of such, besides other
houses to which 1 refer, I must say
that they were astonishing in their
detailed amounts. Perforce, one asks,
who paid for the good clothes these
men wear?
Let any Of these fairly educated men
whose salaries range from a thirty
dollar beginning to perhaps fifty dollars
in after years, be offered a steady
menial job at fifty dollars, and it passes
as beneath consideration. A saving of
the difference in salary under the fifty
dollar job, as against that in which for
years it gradually would advance from
thirty to fifty, would suffice to build a
foundation to more prosperous future.
The greatest drawback to progress
of the laborer is the sure thing idea, to
know that at the end of the month he
will receive pay, the amount or COM
parison has small influence, and gives
no anxiety to him.
Chance opportunities to trade in
goods, and in which q months salary
at least would suffice to secure an
option, may be within his grasp, but he
will not take it because the profit does
not appear in advance of sale. Then
again, the agricultural field always has
openings. Available land, and in

WHAT is 1T?


M from falling to pieces men
Y v tally and physically, when
we brood over our mis-
fortunes and consider the cold -blooded
fact that some of us brought on these
same misfortunes, as we please to call
them, ourselves? Science of today
claims that men should, tortured as we
are by our conscience and subject to
confinement and restraint, gradually
fall into decay and pine away. The
fact is, however, that most of us enjoy
almost perfect health, and can but
see in it all the hand of the Almighty
pointing to our one and only salts
faction that no man can take from us,
and that is the right to hope on and
build new castles for the future.
But what is the definition of hope as
it appears to us? 1 believe it is that
indescribable something within that
forces us to bring to our minds all our
dear ones at home,- all the pleasant
memories of our lives, and that gives
us the determination to enter the battle
anew with our castles in full view and
the strength of renewed character to
build and uphold them against all
adversely.
During my short life 1 have been
present when several men have breathed
their last, and one or two of them had
not lived angelic lives by long way.
There were no clergymen present either,
yet they passed into the great beyond
sustained as we are by hope.
One of the saddest sights that it has
ever been my lot to witness happened
at the largest field hospital ever built
or conducted by our government, the
hospital for the soldiers returned from
the Spanish war, at Montank Point, L..
1. Thousands of men lay sick of fever
and others were dying faster than army
records admit. It chanced one day I
was detailed for some duty about the
hospital. In the rushing about of
nurses, doctors and orderlies, it was
small wonder that the friends of the
sick soldiers, who probably had come
many miles to see them, should get
lost in the confusion and wander about
aimlessly. I noticed a middle-aged, sad
faced woman and upon asking her if 1
could be of any service, she informed
me she was looking for her boy, who
though barely old enough to enlist had
done so without her consent or knowl-
edge. The details of my long hunt
would not interest you, and, as feared,
was obliged at last to conduct her to
the little cemetery on the hill, where
after hunting for some time among
the many graves, we found his name,
spelled slightly wrong, written in lead
pencil on wooden cross that marked
his resting place: Corporal Co.
list New York.
barely saw her kneel on the grass,
her hands raised to heaven, and heard
part of that outburst of grief, when l
found had sudden business outside
the stone wall. There I waited for her
and when she came towards me 1
could see that her face was wet with
tears, but with that look upon it which
plainly told me she was held together
and given hope to live on by higher
power than any human sympathy could
give her.
1t is possible the words of Socrates
