SHAKE HANDS WITH FATE.


'ris sad old world and a bad old world,
1t is scarce worth while at all;
Its sorrows cling and its friendships sting,
And even it's joys will pail.
But dear is life for all it's strife,
And love is better than hate
You'll find a grace in the surliest face
If you just shake hands with fate.
With light in your glance and right in
your glance
And your lips in a curve to the sky;
A spring in your walk and a ring in your
talk,
Sure. hope will not pass you by.
The path that you will winds over hill,
But 1t leads to an open gate:
So trll you a song to lure love along,
And just shake hands with fate.
'Tis in yourself Is the demon elf,
'Tis in yourself is God;
And you'll never stray from yourself
away
Gods light or the devils prod.
Whatever your mind you'll meet in kind,
And what is yourself create;
The world will view what is really YOU
Therefore, shake hands with fate!

A FERN THAT WALKS.

Most ferns are confirmed travellers. New
fern leaves grow out from the under
ground roots some distance away from
the old plant. The average observer
scarcely notices this, but there is a ma
tive fern that steps off at so lively a pace
that its odd habit has long furnished one
of the unceasing entertainments of the
woods. The Walking Fern often carpets
lodges and tops of shaded rocks. : The
slender. tufted leaf fronds are singularly
unfernlike in appearance. They squirm
about and "walk' by declining their ta
per tips to the soil and taking root there
and growing. In time, clusters of new
leaf fronds spring from such rooted tips
By-and-by some of these, too, bite the
earth and taking root. start still other
colonies, which in turn will continue the
progress again and again. Naturally,
with the laspse Of time, the connection
between the older tufts and the younger
becomes broken, vet one sometimes finds
series of three or four linked together,
representing as many steps in the pretty
ramble.-Country Life in America.

In the opinion of writer in Harper's s
Weekly, the building of the '1sthmian
canal, among other striking effects, will
revolutioniZe the revolutiOnlsts Of Lat
in-America. by giving them more sub
stantial things than revolution making
to do. 1t is his opinion that under the
stimulus of cheapened transportation
the agricultural and also the industrial
development of South America will be
hastened; and the inhabitants will be-
come too busy with personal affairs to
give encouragement to military adven-
turers intent upon upsetting the exist
ing order of things. Let us hope so, at
any rate. But the surest way to effect
this result is by colonization. The
mongrel combination of bloods and
races dominant in most Latin-Ameri-
can countries is fit for just the kind of
institutions now in vogue and cannot
be fitted for better kind except
through control of superiors.

Ten Weeks of the Strike.

y It'll DUE allowance for
\N/ the uncertainties of con-
ventions. it is now gem
orally expected that the
indianapolis national convention of
mine workers will not vote to call out
the soft coal miners, but will decide to
assess them for the support of the an
thracite strikers. This would be sem
sible move. 1t would avoid the viola
ton of contracts representing the
fruits of years of effort, and it would
assure to the anthracite workers some
income in idleness. AS an incidental
result it would spare the country the
inestimable ills of a tie-up of fuel pro-
duction and supply, which, should 1t
be attempted and succeed, would liter
ally PROSTATE American industry and
commerce and throw into idleness mill
Ions of wage-earners in every corner of
the land
1t is proper that the soft coal miners
should pay the expenses of the hard
coal strike. for they are reaping the
benefits of it.. The work and wages
that the anthracite miner loses through
this strike the btuminous miner gains.
1t takes just about fixed quantity of
coal to meet the market demands.
When the anthracite mines are work.
ing they get share of this trade: when
they are idle the soft coal necessarily
is used. 1t has been proved already in
the course of this strike that It is not
possible to keep soft coal out of the
hard coal market. Industry must go on
Steam must be made If it cannot be
made by means of one kind of fuel it
will be by another. There could not be
freedom of internal trade If 1t were not
in the power of the manufacturer to
purchase any kind of fuel offered for
sale If in his Judgment it were needed.
Meanwhile there seems to be little
doubt that numbers of strikers who
went into the strike reluctantly are
tired of idleness and want to go to
work. We think the companies are to
be commended for not Inviting the
bitterness and possible turbulence
which would come from a premature
effort to resume mining. AS it is now,
they are losing little except ordinary
profits. Their coal remains. If it is not
mined and sold at present it can be
mined and sold later, no doubt at an
advanced price. From the standpoint
of the companies 1t is only necessary
to have enough patience to win back
all that is lost. An aggressive policy on
their part would be more dramatic and
perhaps that is why some of the sem
sational papers are clamoring for it;
but the waiting policy has the advant-
age of preserving the peace of the
mining communities, except for minor
disturbances, and from every stand
point this is desirable.
The tenth week Of the strike finds the
. situation unchanged on either side and
offers no clue to when the end NAV be
expected.

CoNNELL FOR SENATOR.
From the Harrisburg Star-1ndependent

From the Harrisburg Star-1ndependent.
Whether Attorney General Elkin has
been reconciled to the political conditions
In the state or not. 1t Is reasonably Ger.
tain that his friends are not altogether
happy. Some time ago the Chester coun-
ty Republican convention brought Sena-
tor Snyder out for senator in congress
and yesterday, under the direction OF
Deputy Attorney General Flcitz. the
1.ackawanna county Republican conven-
tion launched a senatorial boom for Con-
grcssman Connell. The manifest pur-
pose OF both movements Is to show re-
sentiment against the part taken by Sen
ator Pcnrose in the conspiracy to defeat
Elkin's nomination for governor.
The candidacy of Senator Snyder prob
ably gave Quay and Penrosc little. If any
concern for though the president pro
tenn. of the state senate is n popular gen.
tleman and prime favorite among the
farmers, his ambition hardly takes the
direction of a seat in the senate branch
of congress. But in the candidacy of
Connell there is a serious menace. That
gentleman has senatorial ambitions. vast
financial resources to back them and with
practically unanimous support from the
northeastern section of the state and
the active assistance of Elkin in the
fight. he would be a most formidable can
didate even with a less enterprising and
sagacious political manager than Mr..
Fleitz.
There is reason. moreover. in the can
didacy of Mr.. Connell, under the circum-
stances. Senator Quay might be eX-
cusable for advocating the nomination
of his cousin and panegyrst and as the
methods employed were those usual to
him there is no kick coming on that
account. But the friends of Elkin justly
reason that Penrose had no business in
the quarrel and being a candidate him
self ought to have allowed tnlngs TO
take their natural course Therefore
they are justified in putting even so for
midable opposition to Penrose in the
senatorial race as Connell and in his vic
tory there will be poetic justice.

aster. He has been reactlonary, pessi-
mistlc, contemptuous of public opinion,
indecsive In foreign policy at times
when decision seemed most needed, and
decisive at other times, when caution
was called for. He has carried nepot-
ism and preferment by pull" to an ex-
treme which has elected frequent COM
plant from even the rabid Tories who
constituted the backbone of his political
backing He has been unfortunate In
diplomacy and inglorious In war--and
vet, In spite of these things, he has held
on to the reins of power with grip
which could not be unloosened, and we
doubt not that he will go into history
as one of the great figures of the Vic
torian era.
That he had great talent for man
agement nobody will deny. Had he
used this with greater recognition Of
the newer forces in modern life; had
he possessed the power to select for
preferment efficient and capable young
men, chosen more largely for reasons of
merit; and especially had he possessed
the amiablity of temperament and of
contact with public conditions SO char
acteristic, for example, of William Nc
kinley, man who started much below
Lord Cecil in advantage and with pos
siby an inferior mental equipment, the
retiring premier could hardly have es-
capped extraordinary greatness. But
though he lived and worked and accom-
plished many large results in the ninc-
teenth and twentieth centuries, his at
titude of mind was essentially that of
the seventeenth century, at least two
full hundred years behind the times.
The selection of Mr.. Balfour as his
successor is doubtless tentative. The
commanding personality of the Sails
bury regime, next to the enigmatic old
premier himself, was that veneered
radical, Joseph Chamberlain He will
dominate the academic and scholarly
Balfour as the oak dominates the ivy
and If he wants the premiership, no
man in English public life can say him
nay.

In ordinary times, this writer says,
more than 100000 workers are annually
involved, in strikes and lock-outs. In
the past ten years, England has had
some 1900 strikes and lock-outs. in

try. In hundred years, there
have been seventy big strikes, dis
tributed over large areas. In some de-
gree, the tendency of labor to appeal
to the strike tribunal seems to be just
now decreasing in Great Britain, but
rather because a number of recent big
strikes were failures than from an In
creased recognition of the crudity Of
adjudication by force.
In Great Britain, as in this country,
the trend of industrial conditions is
upward, and the worker of today is
decidedly better off than was his father
or grandfather, comparatively. But
evolution is of slow growth. 1t cannot
