The commander of the troops called
for volunteers, says the Chicago Tri-
bune.
II want some one to lead a forlorn
hope" he said. "Yonder battery must
be taken at all hazards. 1t will be a
difficult and dangerous job, and few
who engage in it will come back alive.
Who will lead the menu"
The officers looked at one another,
but made no response.
What" exclaimed the commander,
Does a brave soldier fear to risk his
life in the service of his country"
"It isn't the fear of death that re-
strains US, General replied one of the
officers, holding his head proudly
erect. IT'S the fear that we may be
unfortunate enough to live through it,
be proclaimed heroes, and then be
abused, and ridiculed, and caricatured
by the newspapers all the rest of our
days. We couldn't stand that, Cen
eral!'
Whereupon the commander ordered
a general advance, as being the safest
thing for all concerned.

The top of the clock opened; the lit

GOOD ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

| In his address at the Orleans County
Pioneer picnic at Oak Orchard, N. Y,
| last Thursday, ex-senator David B.
Hill gave some sound advice to young
men. He told them that the three most
valuable traits for them to cultivate
were sincerity, frankness and pru-
denee. He also told them not to rely
for success on influence, but to depend
upon themselves and their own ability.
Go 1t alone, was his advice. If young
men could be made to understand how
important it is, If they want to sue
coed in life, that they shall cultivate
the traits to which ex-senator Hill
called attention and depend upon
themselves, the number of them who
make failures of their lives would be
much smaller.
The trouble with young men is that
they do not apply themselves persist
emily and continuously to their respec-
tive professions, businesses or oceupa-
tons They yield to their desire for
pleasure, and they follow their incli-
nation to have a good time rather than
stick steadily at work. If they are en-
ployes they are afraid they will do too
much, and they do not strive to make
themselves valuable to their employers.
The consequence is that it is only now
and then that young man gets ahead
in the world. The majority of them
find themselves in middle life just
about where they were when they be-
gan their careers. In fact, they are
fortunate If they are not worse off,
for, as a man advances in years, if he
is an employe, his services become less
valuable.
One of the grounds for condemning
trusts is that they close the avenues
to young men for independent action.
But the fact should not be overlooked
that, at the same time, they provide
many splendid positions for young men
of merit and ability.
One of the most difficult things with
which employers have to contend now
adays is that of getting competent
young men to fill positions of trust and
responsibility. The number of young
men now seeking places is very large.
The number that is competent to fill
places of responsibility, or is even de-
sirable employees, is comparatively
small. When an employer gets man
who is not only competent but has good
habits and is steady and seeks to adj
vance his employers interests it is
practically certain that he will be adj
vanced just as fast as the way for his
advancement is opened. Influence may
give a young man an opportunity, but
If he hasn't the character and ability
to maintain himself and the willing
ness to apply himself it is certain that
he will make no progress or will fall
by the waySide.

BY the Name of Smith.

Mr.. Smith.
A partly old gentleman, who was
buried behind Sunday paper in the
lobby of the Hotel Cadillac recently,
paused in his occupation, peered over
the tops of his glasses, Strengthened
up in the comfortable chair in which
he had been half reclining, and then
arose and started toward the desk,
from which the sound had emanated,
says the Detroit Free Press. .
A clean-shaven individual, with the
appearance of a commercial traveller,
who had been standing at the news
counter, hearing the call of the bell
hop, turned and likewise headed for
the desk.
A third individual, who had been
conversing with a friend near the ele-
vator, hurried toward the ebony-hued
individual who had given the call,
while from a far corner of the lobby
came fourth man, all apparently bent
on the same Grand.
It was a neck-and- race, and as
the four men reached the bell-hop, who
stood passively beside the counter, the
righteousness of the situation dawned
on them, and each stared foolishly at
the other members of the group. Final
ly one of the party managed to ask:
(Which Smith did you want?"
"Mistah Joseph Smith, sah," respond
ed the boy with grin, as he glanced
from one to another expectantly.
"Well, / guess Joe Smith isn't in this
bunch" remarked one member of the
party, when, after a moments pause,
there was no response, but / didn't
suppose there were so many Smiths in
this immediate neighborhood. Any
way, / guess it's up to me to buy, as

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York World (Dem.) says:
Before universal trust-making can be
proved beneficial or safe these ques-
lions must be answered: First When
every commodity is controlled by a
trust and its price raised, like those of
meat and coal at present, to the high
est level, how can people live and pay
their bills? Second. When every indus
try is capitalized at from four to ten
times its actual value, how can all pay
dividends? Third. If the people cannot
get food and clothing, nor capital it's
profit, what will become of prosperity
and the era of combinations?
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says: THE shah is again visit
ing England, it seems. Can this be the
same shah who was there at the time
of Mr.. Gladstone's golden wedding? He
made a great sensation by his remark
when introduced to the venerable cou-
pie at their anniversary reception. Be
ing told that Mr.. Gladstone had lived
so years with one wife. his polygamous
oriental majesty solemnly observed
that while II was very fine to live so
years with one wife. IT was much finer
to live one year with 50 wives"
The New York Tribune (Rep) says:
Georgia has an even stronger hold
on the affections OF people who like
luscious things than in any previous
year, because the Watermelons and the
peaches which the Empire State of the
South has been sending 10 the Empire
State OF the North have been bigger.

The first new rice of the Georgia
crop was received in this city.o Fri
day. The crop promises to be a good
one. This suggests that If the plan
which has been written up several
times and pretty generally advocated
by rice planters for taking in all of
the rice lands on the Savannah river
and protecting them with levees which
would Withstand any storm, were
carried through, the rice crop
in this locality would be two or
three times what it is now, and it
would be very profitable one, be-
cause there would be no crop lost as
is the case now about once in every
three years.
1t is doubtful if interest in rice
planting on the Savannah river will
ever be much greater than it is un-
less the plan referred to is adopted.
AS is we'll known a syndicate was
formed couple of years ago for put
ting the Savannah river rice lands be-
yond the reach of freshets or floods,
but because of the difficulty in get
ting one or two of the planters to go
into the scheme the matter was
dropped.
1t seems the census figures show that
Georgia does not produce fourth
as much rice now as she did in 1860.
and South Carolina's crop is less than
a third OF what 1t was half century
ago. The great rice section in this
country now Is Louisiana. In 1870 that
state produced only 100000 pounds
OF rice. In 1900 she produced l72,O0O
900 pounds.
II would be an easy matter 20 raise

arrested at Emporia, Kan, for wear

THE PRESIDENT AND TRUSTS.

There was very little that was fresh
in the Presidents speech on trusts at
Providence. r. l., yesterday. He had
said pretty much the same things in
other speeches. A fair inference from
what he said is that the Republican
party isn't going to make a bitter war
on trusts. Indeed, the President thinks
the public does not make the distinc-
ton it should between good and bad
trusts-between corporations which
are monopolies and seek to rob the
people and corporations which are not
monopolies. Much of what he said
yesterday seemed like a plea for
trusts. He said, for instance, that
nobody had been made poorer by
trusts, but that a few had been made
very much richer, and that great for
tunes, improperly used, were a men
ace to society. He also said that the
industrial progress which the country
is enjoying is largely due to the great
development of corporations.
We do not undertake to say, how
ever, that the President isn't sincere
in the war which he proposes to wage
on trusts, but it does seem as if he
were somewhat embarrassed. The fact
is, he knows that the best way to
check trusts is to eliminate the pro-
tective principle in the tariff, but he
dares not say so. The Republican
party doesn't intend to reduce the
tariff on any trust produced article.
Indeed, it is doubtful If it intends to
take any steps against trusts which
will alarm them.
The President said that the states
now have a right to control trusts,
but that owing to conflicts in their
laws they could accomplish nothing
in the direction of controlling them.
Therefore, in his opinion, the national
government would have to control
them, and that constitutional amend
ment might be necessary to enable
it to do it. If a constitutional amend
ment is required Mr.. Morgan and his
friends will have the country bound
hand and foot with trust cords before
a constitutional amendment can be OBJ
tanned. 1t really looks as If we were
going to have a great deal more of
trust talk before anything definite is
done towards controlling trusts.

The death of Gen. Franz Sigel recalls
the phrase quoted above, which had
considerable vogue during the Civil
War, and the following poem by Grant
P. Robinson:
I met him again, he was trudging
His knapsack with chickens was
swelling,
He'd "Blenkered" these dainties. and
thought it no wrong
From some Secessionist's dwelling,
What regiments yours? and under
whose flag
Do you f1ght?" said !, touching his
shoulder;
Turning slowly around. he smilingly
said,
For the thought made him stronger
and holder:
IT lights NIT Sigel"
The next time I saw him, his knapsack
was gone.
His cup and canteen were a missing
Shell, shrapnel and grape, and the
swift rifle ball
Around him and DER him were hiss
ing.
How are you, my friend, and where
have you been?"
And for what and for whom are you
He said, as shell from the enemy's
gun
Sent his arm and his musket a-kit-
ing:
ST fights NIT Sigel!"
And once more saw him and knelt by
his side;
His life blood was rapidly flowing.
I whispered of home, wife, children
and friends,
The bright land TO which he was go
ing:
And have you no word for the dear
ones at homer
The wee one, tine q Their or mother?"
"Yaw, Yaw," said he, tell them, oh
tell them fights
Poor fellow; he thought of no other
II fights nit Sigel"'
We scraped out a grave, and he
dreamlessly sleeps
On the banks Of the Shenandoah
river.
His home. and his kindred alike are
unknown,
His reward In the hands OF the GiYer,
We placed a rough board at the head
Of his grave
And 1--WE left him alone IN HE glory"
