The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-08-10

Mr.. Charles NJ Schwab has been
telling l0ng-suffering public what
he thinks about things in general, and
how to get start in life. He says a
college education is not a necessity
tor man, and the worst thing that
can happen to young man is to start
In life with influence" We take it
Tor granted from these wise remarks
that Mr.. SchWab did not have col
lege education and neither did he be-
gin life with influence. It is singular
that when a man makes money what
he thinks upon every subject from
metaphysics to door mats becomes of
great Importance. 1t he went to COL
lege, a collegiate training is Of prime
Importance in his eyes, but if he did
not go to college he fails to see where
In 1t assists any young man to sue
cess. IL he ate with his knife and
swept out the store in his early years,
he talks learnedly about beginning at
the bottom of the ladder and shifts at
culture. One of the pleasant things
to look forward to is time when the
papers will have something else in
them than 'show I succeeded" by
Schwab, or description of the par
t1cular pump at which Tracy stopped
to wash his face, or what May Yohe
intends to do next. Then, indeed, will
the millennium have arrived.
Had Gems in Great Number.
An interesting item from London
tells of the reception given for the
visiting Indian princes who came to
the belated coronation. It is reported
that one of the most extensively at
tired potentateS was the Maharaiah
OF Kolapore, who wore a necklace Of
500 pearls; next to him came the Ma
haraJah Scindia of Gwailor, who went
the ruler of Kolapore one better in the
4
with gems that he was unable to sit
down. The Maharajah Of Tagore
came under the wire a close second
with turban that was so weighted
down with large rubies that his ma
haraJaship went home with a head
ache before the afternoon was half
over. But that is not all. The neck
lace of the Gaekwar Of Baroda, made.
says the report, the European prin-
cesses feel hopeless. Now it would
not be pleasant to have the world at
large know that we were unaware
what a gaekWar is, but such is the
cold fact, and the dictionary giving
no clue we are obliged to fall back
upon very slight knowledge of logic
and argue from cause to effect Even
mere one heSitates, as it is perhaps
only IN this country that men do not
wear necklaces, and to say that I'M
doubtedly a gaekWar. is a woman. be-
Oe1uSS II wore d necklace, might result
in confusion. We have strong sus-
p1cion, however, that gaekwar is fem
mime for marharajah. The point of
the report is that at the reception in
question these personages left their
trunks empty and wore the best they
had.
Farmers Anxious Season.
This is the time Of year when all
Westerners live in the shadow of hope
or fear about crops. They rise in the
morning trembling with fear that the
weather man may predict rain, and
we have had so much rain that the
crops will be trusted" When 10!
farmer from somewhere comes out
with the announcement that unless we
have rain within tWenty-four hours,
the crop will be ruined. Then every
one begins to pray for rain, litanies
are said for rain, and the Oldest in
habitant may be found searching the
skies at a. m. for signs of cloud
Suddenly it starts in to pour and
keeping it up for three days we learn
with consideration that unless it stops
there will be no crop at ALL Prayers
for surcease from rain are then sent
up and answered with sucN CELEBRITY
that the farmers are again in trouble.
But what's the use of worrying?
Farmers were never known to be suit
ed, yet, for if the crop is large, they
tell US it will bring small price and
