THE man who will not change his
mind must be either fool or in his
dotage; who having made up his
mind, no argument or proof could
make him see the error of his ways.
A man who knows he is right can
stand ridicule and criticism from
those who think they know it all,
but who are SO wrapped up in their
own conceit and Importance. that
they imagine everybody is dishon-
est but themselves. Every good
Republican wants his party to sue

not care if the party is not run on
their ideas. But they are not Re-
publicans, they are Pcpulists. All
Intelligent men can be convinced by

to apologize for the middle ages, but
to moderate the excessive admiration

SENATOR WHO KNOWS BIBLE.
How the Veteran Statesman From
Alabama Won His Success.
CBoston Globe

One of the Oldest and at the same
time one of the brightest members of
the national senate is Senator Edward
Pettus OF Alabama
His eighty-one years sit upon him
| Ilghtly, and he is even now consider
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of returning to
active practice of the law
Senator Pettus is credited with hav-
ing the best acquaintance with the BIZ
| bic of any member of the senate, and
1t is quite usual for him to fire scrip
tural quotations at opponents in the
course of debate.
I In 1S49, during the gold fever, Mr.
| Pettus Travelled from Selma, Ark, his
| native town, to California on horse
| back, and during that long ride his
chief pastime was reading his Bible.
In this way he was almost able to
| learn the contents of the good book
| by heart.
The story of how this veteran south
erner of the old school came to be a
United States senator is worth reteIl-
! ing.
James S. Pugh was senator from Ala
bama and had been elected largely
through the efforts of Pettus who was
practicing law in Selma, as he had
been for the last fifty years except
during the time he served as an Of
ficer in the confederate army
A vacancy occurred in one of the
federal judgeships of the state, and Mr..
Pettus decided that he would like to
round out his legal career by serving
on the United States bench. He packed
up his satchel and made a trip to
Washington for the purpose of en-
listing Pugh's support for the appoint
ment
The train on which Mr. Pettus trav-
eled arrived in Washington about )
o'clock in the morning. 1t was too
late to go to bed and too early to
do anything else but go and see Pugh.
SO the Alabama lawyer clambered into
a cab and drove to the senator's house.
He rang the bell loudly A colored
woman answered after lapse of time
long enough to indicate that the serv-
ant had been called from her bed.
Sticking her head through the door,
she asked what was wanted.
Il want to see Pugh,' answered Pet
tus.
He's in bed"
That's all right. I'll go to his
room"
And he went.
Hey, there, Pugh, wake up" said
Pettus when he had discovered the
slumbering stateman.
Pugh awol1e, for Pettus' voice is in
proportion to his frame
There's a vacant judgeship down in
our state, and 1 want it," said Pettus,
while Pugh was rubbing his eyes.
'Pettus, you are too DID, said Pugh
as he rolled over in bed.
'Pugh, you are a fool" retorted Pet
us, "and if 1 am too old to be judge
l am not too old to be q SENATOR
He STROBE out of the room, frothing
with anger.
The cab went straight back to the
railroad station, where Pettus took the
first train home. He had not been in
Selma five minutes before every one
in the village knew that he was
candidate for United States senator.
He stumped the entire state, going
into the furthermost counties to press
his claim for recognition. His cam
paign cry was too old to be a judge,
but not too old to be senator. He
won an overwhelming victory.

CONVERSATION vII.-Continued.
I'm the fifteenth century men turned
their attention with new ardor to the
conquest, possession and enjoyment of
the good things of this world Assum-
ing that end as the end to be gained,
several European nations have since
| then made very great progress. Physi-
cal convenienceS and comforts have
been multiplied, and certainly lux
uries have been placed within the
reach, so far as these nations are
themselves concerned, of much larger
number. But even in this respect,
striking out the gain which has been
| affected by the discovery and colonial
ton of the New World and the South
Pacific islands, it may be a question
whether England, for instance, has
| gained so much as the nations which
she has victimized have lost In this
| sense, the creation of large industries,
the extension of commerce, the con-
struction of roads and canals, the in
PRODUCTION of railroads and steamships,
labor saving machinery and the light
ming telegraph may be regarded as so
many giant strides in the onward
march of the civilized world But I'M
der all this lies the question: whether
the mass of the people are really bet
ter Off, whether they IND 1t easier to
supply their physical wants than they
did 400 years ago. whether they are
really happier and more contented?
And under this lies ANOTHER question,
whether in a moral point of view, that
is, in the real business of life, gaining
the end for which they were created,
they have really made any advance?
This, after all, is the main question,
and here the difference, L apprehend
if difference there is, is not in favor of
the present"
But you have made no account of
the progress of IDEAS. in the under
standing and vindication of human
rights said Dick.
Certainly not, any more than I do
of the varying fashions of dress" re-
piled Uncle Jack, ''for the most excel
lent reason that in these respects,
though there have been changes, L am
not aware that there has been any
progress. There is a vast amount of
shallow and disgusting cant in the
community. in books, periodicals, news
papers and conversation on this sub
ject. 1t seems to have been taken for
granted that all changes are improve
ments. Everywhere we are Boosting
of progress, everywhere applauding
ourselves for the new and important
conquests we are daily obtaining over
nature, and we look with pity and
contempt on those who lived before us.

FIFTEEN MILLIoNAIREs.
All That England Boasts, While Ire
land Has One.
(London Cor. New York Times.l

Iondon Cor. New York Times)
There are only fifteen millionaires in
| Great Britain and one in Ireland-at
least this would appear to be so from
the official income tax returns just is
sued.
According to the returns, these six
teen persons make the sum total of
the individuals in this country who
enjoy incomes of over $4,000, and this
is about the millionaire level
It is true that there are 1S4 people
with incomes of between 100000 and
s50OOO, and, of course, a considerable
number of these are just on the line
across which they would be classed as
millionaires. Incomes of between
$4,000 and 10000 are enjoyed by 424
people.
To be an assessor of income tax one
needs a heart of flint. To him the
world is a Dantesque Inferno, filed
with dolorous complainings.
1t is always, "The worst year 1 re-
member, sir" or Hard times, very
hard times;;" every year sees the ma
ton ION it's last financial legs"
Unfortunately, the great majority of
the smaller income people have no OPP
portunity of pleading poverty. They
are people with salaries; and the in
come TAX man has access TO the Tell
tale wages list But the millionaire is
not salaried man. For the most part
he pays on an assessment provided by
himself, and the above quoted figures
give one to think"
Down the scale the numbers grad
ually increase until of incomes be-
tween e160 and 9200 there are no few
er than 1873, 456, while of smaller in
comes not exempt from taxation there
are 1887.
But there is one singular exception
to this steady graduation. There are
comparatively few incomes of between
$500 and $500, the number being 1889
in Great Britain, whereas the figures

AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

Dear Nieces and Nephews:
Aunt Busy has received a letter from

pathetic account of his troubles. This
letter viii be found the last on this
column.
Now, Aunt Busy is in an awkward
position she has all sympathy for her
nephew, and yet-well. she really

his opinion. Aunt Busy knew one very
dear boy. who lost his life only one
month ago through the careless han
ding of gun by a playmate. Carry
ing firearms is a very serious matter.
Nearly every day the papers are filled
with accounts of dreadful accidents,
and grown men seem more careless
even that the children. Aunt Busy
shares her nephews high opinion
of President Roosevelt and Kip
ling, but she doubts if either
of those wise. good men would
allow their little sons to use a gun I'M
less accompanied by some older person.

guns. Dear, brave lads. who should be

Kipling is very popular with the boys
on account of his excellent stories, but
the advice and opinion of a good father
should mean much more to every good
son.
Aunt Busy is very sorry that she can
not help her nephew in this matter. She
has a suggestion, though. Let him try
TO induce his father to go shooting,
too. This would be a fine scheme. He
surely viii not get iIso trouble while
In the company Of his father, and then
Aunt Busy thinks that the boys do not
spend enough time with their fathers.
There should be a feeling of real good
fellowship and confidence existing be-
tween father and son. The modern boy
does not seem to possess this spirit as
he should Perhaps the fathers are to
blame Old Aunt Busy, with all her
wisdom, is not certain on this point.
She feels that her reply to Nephew
James viii not meet with his approval,
nor the approval of any of her neph-
eWs and she regrets the fact, but she
must be honest with you all.

wav to Find a Persons Age.

One day there came to the court of
king a gray headed professor, who
amused the king greatly. He told the
monarch a number of things he never
knew before, and the king was de-
lighted. But finally it came to point
where the ruler wanted to know the
age of the professor so he thought OF
a mathematical problem:
''Ahem,' said the king, Il have an
interesting sum for you; it is trial in
mental arithmetic. Think of the num-
Der of the month of your birth.
Now the professor was 60 years old,
and had been born two days before
