John Wilson was a thrifty mechanic,
with a nice home, a CHEEKY wife, and
three children, the youngest of whom
was boy, named John, says the De-
trolt Free Press. The elder John was
pious Christian man, who tried faith
fully not to commit the sin of idolatry
in his feeling for his son, but it was
1mpoSGibae. HE worahiped the boy,
The young John, then 5 years old, was
a real boy in all the term implies. His
father was sure he was the best that
ever lived, and already he saw him as
a man preaching good to all men. for
that was the hope in the elder Johns
bosom.
One day when the father came back
from the shop he brought with him a
pretty tin cup on which was written
in gilt letters: ITO a Good Boy" He
gave it to his son. and the child looked
up into his face like an angel and smil-
ed. Two days later, as John Wilson
came homeward, when the day was
done, he was thinking proudly of his
boy who would meet him at the gate
when his attention was attracted by
a dog coming licketysplit down the
street with tin cup tied to its tail
and knocking ragtime out of the side
walk. Before Mr.. Wilson could get
out of the way the dog had dashed
between his legs, upsetting him into a
coal hole and piling in on top of him,
in a tangle that was terrific. The dog
got away at last, and when the police
man helped the bruised and battered
mechanic out of the hole, he discovered
a string wound round his leg, and at
tached to the end of it a tin cup
which looked as If it had been through
seven wars.
You can keep this as a souvenir, -
said the policeman, pleasantly.
What is ito" asked John Wilson,
taking it.
IT'S a tin cup belonging to some of
them little devils around the corner,
l guess" said the policeman, twirl-
ing his club significantly,
The father of John Wilson, Jr., look
ed at the battered tin in his hand. In
gilt letters which he had not forgotten
were the worlds: ITO a Good Boy"

One Obstacle Overcome.

Willie was bright boy, of an inven-
tive turn of nina, says the Youths
Companion. At the age of or 10 he
was seized with the perpetual mo-
ton" idea, and began to make all sorts
OF queer machines, despite the advice
of his father who told him of men
that had devoted their lives to a vain
search for perpetual motion
1t violates the first principles of
mechanics, my boy" said the father.
Action and reaction are equal, as you
viii understand some day. When YOU
can pull yourself up by your boot
straps you may have to invent a ma
chine that will start itself and run
without stopping"
The next day Willie came to his
father in great excitement and told
him he had done it--had pulled him.
self up by his bootstraps.
IT'S no trick at all" he said, as he
led the way to the barn, where he
showed his bewildered father a pair
of old boots nailed, soles up, to beam
overhead.
"There" he exclaimed, as he climb
ed on box, reached up, ran his An
gers through the straps of the boots
and pulled himself up. What do you
think of that?"
"Willie's father did not reply in
words. Instead, he took a harness
strap, and then and there Willie gave
an imitation of perpetual motion which
required no elaborate apparatus.

WEALTH AND HEALTH.

Mr.. John d. Rockefeller is believed
to be worth between 5000, 100000 and
$500, 900, 900, and to have an income of
not less than 100000 900 a year. The
great trust of which he is the head
is one of the most wonderful money
makers the world has ever known.
There are, no doubt, very great many
thoughtless persons who say to them
selves, when they hear or read of all
this wealth, How 1 wish l were John
d. Rockefeller!" And many of them,
being possessed of sound bodies and
robust health, imagine that they would
like to change places with this man who
is rich beyond the dreams of avarice.
But would such an exchange, if it were
possible be profitable to both parties?
Mr.. Rockefeller, rich as he is, would
no doubt give all of his earthly pos
sessions for the health, strength and
appetite of Amos Rusie. the ex-ball
player who is digging bitches in iii
nois for the wage of $3.50 per day.
Rusie can eat three square meals
day-steak, pork, potatoes and what
ever else he likes and can pay for
and sleep soundly eight hours per
night. Mr.. Rockefeller can eat onlv
warm, SKINNED milk and crackers.
The hale workingman can drain his
can of beer and smoke his pine or
cigar with enjoyment. Mr.. Rockefeller
can neither drink nor smoke anything.
His health will not permit of the
slightest indulgence in any of the lux
uries of life.
With wealth sufficient to gratifv
every appetite or whim, Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter can indulge not even in the ordinary
good things" of life He has fine
horses, but he cannot drive them. or
even ride behind them except semi
occasionally, because of his reafth. He
has a magnificent yacht but yachting
does not agree with him. He has a
palatial home and is fond of the home
life, but he cannot take a. drink of
iced water. His skinned milk and
the little water he drinks must be
served at a temperature of 9S 2-5 de-
grees-blood heat-or he will be i'll for
several days. With all of his car
riages and horses and automobiles he
must walk, and walk every day wheth-
err he wants to or not; and he must
work in the open air. On his farm
he spends many hours with rake,
shovel or hoe trying to tempt health
through exercise. And at night his
sleep is fitful and restless. Can any
amount of wealth make such con-
dition enviable?
The poor man on the farm, with
good health and strong limbs, is more
to be envied than Mr. Rockefeller with
all of his millions.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record Dem.) says
Secretary Gage would have one big
bank in the country with thousands
of branches. Such an institution, he
thinks, would make the price of credits
more equitable throughout the country,
and would, therefore, prove to be a
common benefit. There is an undeniable
tendency toward combination among
the great banking institutions of the
country"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
"Why should the Berlin paper imagine
that it is possible to induce us, I'M
der existing circumstances, to inter-
vene in behalf of the Beers? We are
not exactly in a position just now nor
do we desire to intervene at the risk
of war with a first-class power in be-
half of anybody. We are on pretty good
terms with John Bull and we are not
likely to terminate amicable relations
to please either the Beers or the Ger
mans"
The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says:
I'm the list of fifteen men who were
killed or injured at the furnace Of
Jones & I4aughlin's steel works, Pitts
burg, on Thursday there is not a sin
gle Anglo-American name. All are re-
ported as IIungarians, though there are
both Italian and Polish names among
them. 1t is a significant hint as to the
completeness of the displacement of
American labor, in the steel, iron, coal
and correlated trades of the North.
The CHATTER made by the advocates Of
high protection. about fencing out
cheap foreign labor and protecting the
wage of American labor, is a premium
of hypocritical can't"
The Baltimore Sun Dem.) says: I'm
entering upon the construction of an
isthmian waterway every precaution
should be taken by the government TO
prevent the diversion of funds appro-
priated for canal work into the pockets
of dishonest promoters and contractors.
The canal ought to be kept out of the
hands of the politicians and placed d.
rectly under the control Of men whom
the government can trust If this is not
done, IL political jobbery enters In any
degree into the construction OF the
canal-if II is made part Of the party

the American people will have cause
to regret that such project was ever

Farmers Consolidated Crop.

1t was a Detroiter who was hunting
for apples in Northern Michigan, and
having got track of something extra he
drove out several miles to see the far
nler, says the Detroit Free Press. There
were apples in plenty, and the buyer
started in to do business. He was
checked up almost at once, however.
by the farmer. who said:
Stranger, did you take notice of my
daughter, Hetty, at the house,"
why, yes, l saw very smart look
ing girl" was the reply. IF she is your
daughter l must congratulate you. How
many barrels of Spies did you say you
had?"
Yes, Hetty is a smart gal and a
good gal" unused the farmer without
reference to the apple question. There
are about six feilers around here who
are shining up to Hetty"
Yes, a girl like her is never with
out a lover said the buyer. shell be

they wear it in Chicago" chuckled the
father as he proudly Strengthened up.
"Mebbe you didn't notice her feet, but
she only wears No. Shoes, and they've
got high heels on

pies? How many Greetings have you?"
And. Hetty's just as good as she is
purity. She has never caused us an
hours trouble. If anyone is looking for

and fare worse"
But I'm not looking for one," replied
the buyer. I'm here to buy apples"
You didn't hear about Hetty, them"
No"

look at her?"

Convicts in New York state prisons
may hereafter cultivate tonsorial art

ing There is to be no more cropping
of the locks of those who are sent up
to do time The order has gone
forth that convicts are to be permitted
TO wear their hair of such length that
it may be properly parted and combed;
and the care of the hair is to be made
obligatory The modification of the
rules in this matter is part of the
policy of imbuing the prisoners with
self-respect by softening the degrading
aspect of prison life wherever it can
be done without injury to discipline.
Not long ago the lock-step was abol-
ished in New Yorks state prisons; now

GAGE AND our BANKING SYSTEM.

Mr.. Gage, the Secretary of the
Treasury, has not stated that he in
tends to resign at am early day, but
the impression is strong that it is his
purpose to do so. Either he is dis
satisfied because the President did not
take more notice OF his sugges tons for
reforming the present banking and
currency systems or else he proposes
to try and put into practical opera ton
his ideas relative to banking.
That part of his annual report in
which he dealt with the defects of our
present banking system and suggested
a remedy for them was interesting, and
attracted a great deal of attention At
the meeting of a section of the Bank
ers' Associa ton in New York on
Thursday night he spoke on that sub
ject He believes that there should
be a great central bank, having
branches in all of the principal cities
of the country Such an institu ton
would in his opinion. so control the
money market that there would never
be great fluctuations in the rate for
money, and the danger of money pam
les would be almost entirely removed,
His idea is that when the rate for mon
ey is high there is no less money in
circulation and in the banks than
when the rate is low. The trouble is
that credit is scarce. The banking
system that he proposes would, ac-
cording to his view, prevent d search
ty of credit.
Capital is very conservative, and it
takes long time to get it to accept
changes. Perhaps it is Mr.. Cages
purpose to experiment with his system.
1t is denied that he is going into the
banking business in New York city,
but it is not denied that he regards
Chicago with favor as a place in which
to make his experiment. While there is
much interest in his banking scheme
1t is doubtful if it will be adopted I'M
less he leads the way and proves it is
all he claims for it,

THE sERvANT-GIRL QUESTION.

The United States Industrial Com
mission investigated the servant-girl
question, and has reached the
conclusion that the chief diff
culties affecting the question are
the lack of business methods in the
employment and treatment of servants,
and the social stigma that attaches to
the holding of domestic position in a
household. The Commission intrusted
the Investigation of domestic servants
to Miss Gail Laughlin, who is an LII.
B. She sent out more than 5000 print
ed queries to servants and employers.
and from their replies deducted her
conclusions.
The greatest of all difficulties affect
ing the servant system, says the Com
missions report. is that employers
proceed upon the idea that, in employ
ing a domestic servant, it is the person
who is hired, and not the labor that
is contracted for. This is equivalent
to saying that American women-for it
is the woman of the house in nine
cases out of ten that has direction of
the domestic help-are exacting and
hard to please, if not positively tyran-
nical. They are not content to receive
a specified amount of work but de-
mand the servants whole time. "In
all other occupations" says the report,
sit is labor which is contracted for; in
domestic service 1t is the laborer, in
effpTf al OF Iah Il
expected, in short, to be at all times
subject to the call and direction of the
employer" The opinion Of the Com
mission is that American born women
have strong objections to this exaction.
Social stigma is the second great
cause which prevents American women
from accepting places as domestic SER
wants. That there is such stigma can
not be disputed. There is. of course
no reason why 1t should exist. Cook
ing meals, tidying rooms and the like
s certainly as honorable work as SELL
ing drygoods or notions, or working in
a factory; nevertheless the chamber
maid is looked down upon" for some
unexplained cause. Every girl homes
and expects to be married some day.
and no girl wishes to be placed in a
position to which social stigma is at
tached and that would operate to cut
her off from association with the class
of men from which she would be will
ing to marry husband. Before in
telligent American women shall be-
come willing to enter domestic service
in any large number" says the report,
this social stigma must be removed
Social distinctions, however, are of all
things most elusive. They cannot be
removed by direct means, and the
social stigma now attaching to domes-
tic service can be removed only grad
ually through the removal of the con-
ditions which have given rise to it,"

The New York World brings severe
charges against Henry c. Payne, who
has been appointed to be Postmaster
General. The World says that in Mil
waukee Mr.. Payne is known as "a

lations, a wrecker of his party when
the intelligent rank and file rose
against his fiagrantly corrupt abuse Of

There is nothing peculiar about the
appointment of a negro to the office of
Register of Deeds for the District of
Columbia; and it is quite appropriate
that a negro should be named to be
minister to the republic of Liberia.
There are two or three offices in Wash
ington that have virtually become the
perquisites of the black race. One of
them is the registry of deeds for the
district, which has been held by a
black man for many years.
