Old Age and CommcrciaIism.

1T is well understood in commercial
circles that there is a prejudice against
the employment OF old men as clerks and
statesmen" said Mr.. Albert b. Knowles.
Of Boston. al the Riggs.
Il think, too. that this sentiment on the
part OF employers generally is growing
In the big department stores they have
little or no use for clerks with silvered
hair: they want people in the flush OF
young manhood and womanhood, and are
getting rid OF the elderly contingent as
rapidly as possible. | have a friend at
home. a most excellent salesman, who
though little past the line of middle
age, is vigorous in mind and body. and
capable OF good work for the next ten
years. He complained bitterly TO me re-
Gently that his position was being made
very uncomfortable. and that from the
frequent sneers about his white mustache
and references to old people he under
stood that the idea was to annoy him into
resigning Misplace.
Il thought perhaps that he might be
unduly sensitive and had come to an er-
roneous. conclusion, but on investigating
the matter learned that my friend had ac-
curately sized up the situation. The phi
losophy that would dispense with the
service OF men merely on account Of ad
vancing years may have a business basis.

Monkey Talk.

Prof. Garner has fully estab-
fact that monkeys can talk, and it
is said that he expects to prove it
by teaching one to use articulate
, speech. That Will be proof
which everybody can understand.
But the real question at issue is
not so much whether they can be
taught to use English words as
whether they have a language Of
their own which is fairly articu-
! late. Prof. Garner declares that
they have. and anyone who has
watched and listened TO the chat
tcring little creatures for half an
hour or so will be inclined to be-
lieve il.
1t must be remembered that the
lowest forms of human speech de
pend for their significance largely
upon the infection given various
words and phrases, and the oldest
language in tie world, the Chi
ncse, is so dependent upon these
adjuncts to the articulate word
that a phrase may have two, three,
or four meanings, according to the
infection given il. That the tone
of voice of monkey, or a dog.
cat, or hen, for that matter, does
express n definite and distinct idea
to its companions nobody can de-
ny. How far this tone has been
varied and elaborated into what
may be called sound-phrases, eX-
pressing variatioas-of meaning of
one sort or another, only re-
searches as thorough and patient
as Mr.. Gamers can determine.
1t is said that there was an old
Frenchman who used\to visit the
Jardin des Plantes, years ago, and
converse with the monkeys in their
own language, and to their great
apparent satisfaction; and to a
certain extent MIR. Garner appears
to be able to dc. the same thing.
The results of his experiments are
likely to be of Importance to the
scientific world.

Democracy az II Democrat Sees 1t.
The negro vote in our State may be
reduced one-half under the franchise law
that will be in force next election" re
marked Judge \. c. Avery. of Morgan

Judge Avery was delegate to the Kan

Der Of The platform committee opposed
4 specific reiteration OF the 16 to / plank.
Il have no idea" said he. that silver
will ever again figure as factor in our
national politics. Some of the principles
that Mr.. Bryan advocated. however, are
vital to the con ntinued existence of the
Democratic party. | regard the usurpa-
tion and aggressions of the United States
courts as a constant menace 10 our in
stitutions. and they are just as danger
Gus today as when Mr.. Jefferson revealed
the evils which they would bring upon
the country.
Il am interested in seeing return of
the Democracy to power. but confess it
looks hopeless when We see the party
voting almost solidly against the appro-
priation of money for the protection OF
our troops, as the House Democrats did
the other day. The American people will
forever keep in the minority any party
which refuses necessary aid to the men

CLARK VS.. GRoSVENoR-The Mis-
sourinn's Purpose In Reading the
"ConEressionnI Recordv of Last
| Session.
Representative Champ Clark is spending
his leisure moments in reading the Con
gressional Record of last session. He is
doing this in an effort to find one little
sentence which he asserts General Gros-
venor uttered some time during the course
of discussion upon the Philippine ques-
tion.
Mr.. Clark declares that General Grcs-
venor used the expression We intend to
hold the Philippines as long as we can
squeeze any money out OF them" General
Grosvcnor denies having made any such
statement on the floor of the House, but
admits that he may have said something
which Mr.. Clark construed enormously to
mean as much during joint deba te which
they had at some Chautauqua assembly.
The Missouri member insists that the
Ohio veteran made the statement in the
House and declares that he is going to
find it. if he has to read through every
line of every copy of the Record of last
session. His only fear is that General
Grosvenor edited the expression out with
a blue pencil when he came to read the
proofs OF his speech On almost any
morning now General Grosvenor may be
seen over on the Democratic side of the
House talking TO Mr.. Clark and heard to
say: We'll, Champ, have you found that
statement you say | made"
NO" replies the genial Missourian,
but In going to. if it takes all summer,
provided. of course. you didn't cut it out
| know you said il all right enough and
so do you"
Meanwhile, Mr. Clark is finding the old
Record very entertaining reading. If
ne discovers the phrase he is looking for
1t will be up to General Grosvenor to take
to the tall timber.
