They were good friends, and in
their early days of Indifference to
femininity had signed and sealed q
contract which directed that the first
n married was to pay $25 to the
other.
Cupid in q freakish mood turned
their attention to the same girl and
in the end n of them captured the
prize. The friendship that had stood
the rivalry without a crack did not
break when the announcement of the
wedding came from a nearby city.
Nothing daunted. the friend and
disappointed lover sent the follow
ing telegram to his successful rival:
Il win and you lose, because you
win and I lose."-Memphis News.

Senator Allison asserts that the
removal of duties on trust-made arti-
cles would benefit the trusts, and cites
the tobacco trust as a case in point.
We are not convinced by the senator's
assertion that this would be true even
in the case of tobacco, but the senator
should remember that no one has pro-
posed to take the duty off tobacco. He
should talk to us more about steel
and coal if he hopes his remarks to be

ABILITY AS CAPITAL.
Chances for Smart Young Men of
Small Means Are Not Alto
gether lacking,

10 the young man who imagines
that the consolidation of industry
and the conducting of business on a
big scale have shut the door of OPP
portunity in the face of the nan
without capital, the recently adopted
policy o. a great biscuit company is
commended, says the Minneapolis
Journal.
This great corporation, trust, if
you please, has discovered that mon
ey is helpless without brains. New
rival companies have recently taken
away from it some of its best execu-
tive and managerial ability. 1t has
felt the loss so keenly that it is now
entering into longtime contracts
with its most important employees.
The mere mar of money, without
particular ability or special business
training of some kind, is absolutely
dependent on men who know how to
do things. Some men inherit money,
some men inherit brains, a few in
herit both.
Take the mediocre capitalist by ac-
cident. He is absolutely unable to en-
ter into any profitable business I'M
less he can establish some kind of an
alliance, either through a corpora
ton, n partnership, or employment,
with some experienced, shrewd, en-
ergetic mar who knows all about
some business. Otherwise Mr.. Mon
eybags will have to get along on
three or four per cent. net income
from an investment which requires
no more intelligence on his part than
the picking out of some absolutely
safe investment, such as government
bonds.
1t is hot only the man with knowl-
edge, but without means, who is
looking for an opening. The man
with means, but without knowledge,
is also looking for an opening. These
two kinds of men are meeting every
day to their mutual good. Practical
knowledge is just as much capital
as good yellow coin. The worker
with such knowledge gets two kinds
of income. One represents dividends
OIL his knowledge capital, another
represents pay for the work he does
which requires no special prepare
ton. Thus men may acquire capital
by saving money or by accommodating
useful knowledge and experience. A
young mining engineer only six
weeks out of Leland Stanford univer-
sity is drawing a larger salary, it is
said, than all the other mining en-
gineers in California together. That
man probably inherited a good sup
ply of brains, but he was capitalized
himself by his years of hard work
in the engineering college.
Viewed in this light the great ac-
emulation of wealth in the United
States means more opportunity.
American capitalists are "plungers."
Looking at their money is no sport
for them. They are not oilers. They
want to be in the thick of the fasci-
mating industrial fray. To win they
need allies. They match money
against knowledge.

But not entirely hers; there was
the little Helen. And as the child
grew beyond the years when she
could be conveniently put to sleep
or sent to the nursery, loving, low
able, always ready to spring into her
fathers arms, the baneful root in
Lillian's heart took a fresh start.
Every cares he gave to Nellie she
felt herself defrauded of, every fond
word a robbing of her right; to
herself she said she could not bear
it, that her own child should come
between them, and at times she al
most hated the child for 1T.
Nellie was too young to understand
this; she only felt her mothers lack
of love and turned the more to the
father. But Robert was not so blind,
and when he saw that she was made
to suffer for too open fondness on
his part, he grew cautious, a caution
for her sake that Nellie often mis-
took for Indifference, and grieved

One day there was white Grape on

shocked; she had not thought the

had dragged Robert from her bed
