Earning Ills Fee.

Speaking Of fces,' said the coun-
try lawyer, II vel, remember the cas-
lest one | ever earned. The trouble
began at one Of the usual Saturday
night auctions, when Bill Jones and
Aba Smith, who had been at logger
heals for some time, began bidding
on an old fish crate. The box WASH t
worth single dollar, but the bidding
ran up, nickel at time, untilit was
finally knocked down to Smith for
1926.
"Hold on, says Jones, 4 bid 1926
on that crate myself and / intend to
have it, Then they had a squabble
over it, but SMITH paid the money,
loaded the box on his wagon and drove
home.
"About two days afterward Jones
came into my Office.
Hello, said he, I've got job
for you. You was down to the auc-
tion Saturday, and saw me bid on that
fish box. Now I want that box and
intend to have it IL it cost me 800.
Do you think you could get it for me?
II guess so, replied.
How much will it cost2' he says.
About $685. says I.
"With thet he planked down the
cash and I told him to come in again
in couple OF days. AS soon as he
was gone l hitohed up and drove out
TO Smith farm. 1 was in the insur-
ance business, too, in those days and
Smiths insurance had about expired.
Smith was home and I told him that
l had come to look over the buildings,
as l thought he wanted to renew the
insurance. He said he did, SO we
walked about. I kept my eyes open
and pretty soon saw the fsh box.
"'Ha!" l exclaimed, the very thing
I want!'
What's that?' he asked.
'"Why, that box there.
ooh, that old fish crate. I nearly
got into row over that thing, and 1
just bought it to spite Jones'
What will you take for it?' in
quired.
Well, I gave 1925 for it, and
you can have it for that figure

II took it to the Office aud put it in
the back room. A couple Of days
later Jones walked in.
Well, what luok?" he heinquired.
"'I have it, I replied.
'Where?"
In the back room there I said
pointing to it.
Is there any more to pay?'
"'No, that will be all right, said.
Well, sir, I would have spont
800 before I would have been beaten ;

the box and smiling his complete sat

Benny Objected.

"Why does teacher make everybody
in school speak piece?" complained
st. Louis youngster one evening
around the library lamp, looking up
from the "piece de resistance" he was
wrestling with.
II think some fellows WASH made to
speak pieces-just as the minister said
some folks never could spell.
II never can get this thing learned
never"
Benny" said his father, with be-
coming parental sternness, "you must
learn whatever your teachers tell you
TO.
"In my younger days l always
minded my teachers, and-um-um"
as he caught an amused glance from his
wife's eyes-a look Of smiling recol-
lection-"well, er-that is I always
tried to-you may go to bed now and
try your piece in the morning. Good
night, my son.
"You nearly forgot that time in the
district school, didn't you, dear?'
she qucried, as the door closed on the
boy.
my sympathy is with Benny now,
just as it was with you that long ago
day. Why will teachers persist in
trying to turn every pupil into the
same mold, like gelatin?
"Now, you never could or would
speak piece in your life, you know.
What scene you lid make that day
when the trustees came for their Fri
day visit to the school?
"And how my heart did flutter when
the master stood over you with that
whip and counted of the minutes he
gave you to make up your mind as to
whether you'd speak for the visitors
or take fogging before them. Those
were awful minutes to me-"
'Yes, | saw you with your pretty
eyes full Of tears and that made me
decide to speak, for no fellow wants to
get licked before his best girl.
Wasn't it corker, though, that
| speech?"
II remember every word.
II expected the lightning to strike
you.
''He had said he didn't care what
you spoke, but say something you
must, and you did.
I'll never forget you as you slowly
rose up-just as Old Bones snapped
his watch, too-and yon said solemn
ly:

Upon our poor trustees;

To teach our school

heartily with the emory.
"Ha! ha!' echoed. q boyish treble
from the stairway. They looked up,

above them.

Churches Raise MiIllons For New Century
Jubilee.

When the Twentieth Century open
ed there was q general notion among
the various churches Of the world
tnaG special jubilee fund should be
raised to mark the new era.
This has since crystalized into con-
certed action, the results of which are
astounding.
The sum agreed upon was fifty mil
lions of dollars, the time to expire
with the year 1902.
The Methodist Episcopal Church,
North. has secured seventeen millions, /,
the English Congregesionalists over
three millions.
The several Methodist communions
raised more than FIVE and half mil
lions, and the English Baptists and
Canadian Presbyterians each a million
and quarter.
These great sums have been raised
over and above the usual expenses
and incomes Of these churches and
will be devoted to extra fields in the
church work.
If the true meaning of the word
jubilee, "joy," be commensurate with
the purchasing power of these great
sums the "jubilee millions" will cause
may jubilate to thrill up from thous-
ands of sad hearts long numb to such
strains Of gladness.

DOROTHY DIX
Says Girls Should be Taught the Art
Of Managing Men.


OF Managing Men.
One of the things upon which wo-
men consider that they hold practi-
cal monopoly is reforming the world
Here and there, it is true, you find a
lonesome male reformer, but he is
generally doing things in small way
of business, and it is women who have
undertaken all the big Jobs, like sup
pressing the liquor traffic, and the i'm
moral wax dummy in stores, and abol
ishiug polygamy among the Sulus, and
the wearing Of corscts by the young
and frivolous.
Plucking the mote out Of your
ncighbor's eye is always an agreeable
pastime, and there is hardly a woman
in the whole length and breadth Of the
land who does not belong to an anti
something or other society, fer the
suppression Of doing something she
doesn't want to do herself.
This is as it should be. Most things
need bcttcring. heaven knows, but the
discouraging part of it all is that the
results are SO meagcr. SO much effort
is put forth, and 80 little good is ac
complished. There is such an appall-
ing amount Of lost motion somewhere
about the reformation machinery.
Now, nobody has right to question
the absolute sincerity Of purpose Of
the women who are engaged in the
gigantic task of trying to better social
conditions, suppress vice, and make
life happier for the great mass Of hu-
man beings, and no fact can be more
pathetic than that their sacrifices,
their labors, and their prayers are 80
generally unavailing. It is not hard ,
however, to see why they fail. They
are firing heavy artillery at the clouds,
instead of popping away with squir-
rel rife at an individual. They are
trying to rout the enemy with one fell
swoop, and they do nothing, whereas
if they concentrated their attention
on one person they would infallibly
bring him down sooner or later.
Women seem never to have consid-
cred this phase of the subject, but il
they would devote the same amount of
energy, effort and intelligence TO con-
crete reform, that they do to general
reformation, the world would be
changed in the space Of single gen.

misery; and his poverty. She noulds

If every mother taught her son self

there would be no need for w. G..

children habits Of thrift and industry
we might shut up the doors of the

her children to control their tempers,
our jails would not be filed with mur-
derers. If avery mother taught her
children honesty by precept and ex-
ample, we should have no pitiful
stories Of absconding cashier. If
every mother taught her daughter the
highest ideal Of virtue and modesty
there would be no social reform.
For poverty, vice and crime are not
accidents. They are the relentless

Moaby' q Last Raid.

Colonel Mosby Of civil war guerilla
fame has made another raid, this time
rounding up band Of n. en aud women
who have been systematically defrsud-
ing Uncle Sam out of western grazing
lands. Colonel Mosby is a special
agent of the land Office of the interior
department, and lately has been en-
gagged in clearing certain public land
in Nebraska and other western states
of the fences that had been illegally
erected by cattle men in their efforts
to control grazing fields. Mosby was
located in a small Nebraska town. in
which there is o land Office, when about
thirty wcmengot off the train in charge
of slick looking individual. All the
women marched to the land Office and
filed claims for grazing plots, on the
ground that they were widows Of union
soldiers. In each case the soldiers
service was given as just sufficient to
cover the claim. Colonel Mosby was
suspicious Of the outfit, and engaged
one OF the women 10 conversation,
with the result that he found that the
whole scheme was fraud aud none of
the women were widows Of union SOL
diers. After getting their warrants
they proposed to turn the land t.
big syndicate that is monopolizing
grazing lands. Wholesale arrests were
made at Colonel Mosby's recommen-
dation.-Brooklya Eagle.

The London Saturday Review, whose
utterances have always indicated any
thing but a brotherly, Glands across
the sea" feeling for the United States,
criticises Lord Salisbury because lin
the Venezuelan affair he averted a
quarrel with the United States by pa
thence, amounting, in the opinion of
some, of whom are we, to meekness.
Who shall say at this hour whether it
would not have been we'll for US to
crush the Americans for half a cen
fury, as we could easily have done?'
We leave the possibility of the latter
dread occurrence to the judgment of
our readers, and only remark that, in
the opinion of others, "of whom are
we,' Lord Salisbury deserves a good
deal Of credit for saving his country
from tussle beside which the recent
little war; would have seemed child's
play. And we affirm, the erudite and
amicable Saturday Review to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, that possibly
all the crushing might not have been
on one side. In the last analysis we

Whatever may be the individual opin-
ion of the mental capacity of William
H., German emperor, it is certainly
not believed generally that he is a fool.
His reported inability to understand
why some American citizens should
have refused his proffered decorations
is all the more amazing therefore since
his Germanic majesty must know that
all true born Americans, with free
dom's soil beneath our feet" look with
amusement, if not with scorn, on for
eign decorations and medals, which
are generally meaningless.

Have We Frightened Europe =?

go AAntO We = I1SAUcucu EUROPE &aS
!. One of our New York contempora-
r1es has just Informed us, with a
wealth of detail from the usual Eau
thoritative source that one of the
reasons for the proposed reduction Of
European ornaments, which is being
theoretically considered by the en-
perors of Germany and Russia and
the king Of Italy, is that the gain aris-
ing from the reduction of ornaments
could be devoted to a collective fight
against the common danger Of Amer
lean competition. :, 1t is understood that
the warfare is to be commercial, not
sanguinary, and that energetic meas
ures are to be taken to stife Ameri-
can trade not only on the European
continent, but wherever our commerce
offers vulnerable point. Although
this combination of rulers has not been
consummated and may never exchange
Its hypothetical existence for reality,
it may be we'll for American producers
and exporters to consider carefully
whether such a union of hostile forces
does not actually mean trouble for
American trade.
That our growing commercial su-
premacy has aroused envy and dis
like is neither doubtful nor debatable.
You cannot expect man to love you
overmuch when you induce his former
customers to buy your goods, and since
that is what the collective American
has been doing Of late to the CORE
spending European it is not astonish-
ing that the latter and his monarch
look on us with feelings akin to hatred.
That this feeling should find vent in
words and deeds is also not astonish-
ing, and the reported union of Slav,
Teuton and Latin would be a natural
outcome. 1t seems that union against
common enemy, like politics, makes
strange bedfellows.
Whether this combination of rulers
and nations, if consummated, will be
able to work harm to our growing
foreign commerce is question for the
future. What seems certain now, judy
ing from recent statistics, is that unless
these and other nations soon take eff
fective measures to protect themselves
from our invasion of their markets
they will find themselves in the po-
sition of the rats who, having de-
cided that the cat was a dangerous
creature, resolved to tie around her
neck bell to warn them of her ap-
proach. 1t may be remembered that
they could find no one to "bell the cat"
Besides, there may be little foreign
commerce left in the hands Of Ger
many, Italy and Russia to protect.
