The FIVE BO0NS OF LIFE.

MARX Twain in Harper's Weekly
In the morning of life came the good
fairy with her basket, and said:
"Here are gifts. Take one, leave the
others. And be wary; choose wisely; oh,
choose wisely! for only one of them is
valuable"
The gifts we're five: Fame, love, rich
es, pleasure, death. The youth said
eagerly:
"There is no need to consider" and he
chose pleasure.
He went out into the world and sought
out the pleasures that youth delights in.
But each in it's turn was shorC-iived and
disappointing, vain and empty; and each
departing, Knocked him. In the end be
said: These years | have wasted. If |
could but choose again | would choose
wisely.
x
The fairy came, bringing again four OF
the gifts, but death was wanting. She
said;
81 gave it to a mothers pet, little
child. 1t was ignorant, but trusted me,
asking me to chose for it. You did not
ask me to choose -
"Oh, miserable me! What is there
left for me?"
What not even you have deserved; the
wanton insult of old age.'

A Du Pont Always in Front.
New York Tribune }

New York Tr1bune.)
The Du Points own powder mills IN
all parts of the country, from the At
lantic to the Pacific. Among the Du
Points themselves there is process or
selection for those who are to have to do
with the powder works. The youngsters
are watched. and when one shows
nervousness in the face of danger he is
placed somewhere else than in the
powder mills. The rule is that Du
Pont in person shall always lead when
ever there is imminent danger. A num-
Der Of Du Points first and last-and some
of them important ones-have been
killed under this rule; and there re-
peatedly have been heroic escapes from
death through this disregard of the fear
of it.
The family rule is despotism, and a
very strict one. The family always has
a head, and what this head or chief
saws the other members of the family 90.
This hardship does not necessarily de-
scend from father to son, even when
there are sons. Sometimes it goes from
uncle to nephew the main point being
to secure a Du Pont thoroughly compe..
tent to manage the business affairs OF
the family. For many years the late
Gen. Henry d. Du Pont was head OF
the family. His nephew, Eugene, is
now in that position

Greatest Gun on Earth.

Washington, July AFTER four
years the great 16-inch gun which has
been in course of construction at the
Watervliet, near Troy, N. Y +, is com
pleted. This gun is the largest ever
made, and if it proves success more OF
the same kind will be made for the de-
Tense of the coast of the United States,
and the insular possessions. The car
riage for the gun is being made IN
Washington, and as soon as II Is COIL
pleted the gun will be shipped to Sandy
Hook, where it will have trial. 1t -
claimed that the gun will throw a shell
twenty one miles. 1t will carry 1000
pound projectile, backed by the force
of thousand pounds of powder. The
gun will be used for the defense OF New
York and will be located in Fort Hamil-
ton on disappearing carriage. The
weapon weighs 26O,0OO.

Harmony? Why, OF Course.

By strange coincidence most OF the
gentlemen prominent at the harmony"
dinners in 1902, we're either directly or
indirectly contributing to the success of
the republican party in 1896, and are IN
a great measure responsible Tor wnat
sins of commission or omission they
nov charge upon the republican part
In truth, while they condemn the
republican organization they should
condemn themselves, because they
assisted in bringing about the present
conditions.
While the union is really to grant a
general amnesty to all who have seen
the error of their way and to freely for
give them, yet we are unable to enGireiy
forget where the responsibility lies for
the present disorganized condition OF
the democratic party. =,
We are of the opinion that the gentle
men, who prior to 1896 condescended
to fill all the important offices and en-
loved the emoluments, end when the
masses of the party took control as they
did at Chicago in '96, bolted the platform
and candidate, or sulked, and failed to
stand by the majority, as they insist
ted should be done when they were IN the
ma iority, should exercise a little mod
esty and at least have some small con-
sideration for the men who were loyal in
1896 and did their best for party success.
We believe that the men who were
loyal in '96 and 1900 will have something
to say, and without they are consulted
the Harmony" will be of the jug and
handle order New Haven Comm
Union.

To Run Steamboats, in Duck River.

Shelbyville, July 4.-There is a
movement on foot among some of the
wealthlest citizens to put small steam
boats of light draft IN Duck River to
run through Bedford County to its
mouth, and an appropriation will be
asked for in the next Congress to help
defray the expenses 1t is thought
that it will not require an immense
amount to get the river in good condi,
ton. The Legislature has declared
Duck River navigable from Three
Forks Mills, in this county, to its
mouth. 1t is thought that this Will
prove of inestimable value to the
country through which the river flows.
