Prospects For n Strenuous Life.

y we'll dressed lad. the son of
wealthy parents, thought it would be
quite manly to earn a few coppers for
himself by selling daily papers, says
the Chicago Journal. He stopped a
tattered newsboy in the street and
said to him:
do you think 1 should be able to
earn money as you do if 1 bought
some papers and came to this corner
to sell them?"
''Why do you want to sell papersY
I'm tired of being idle"
"Well," said the philosophic little
newsboy, with a serious air, dyer
think yer can hold thirty-siX papers in
one hand, lick three or four boys big
germ yerself with the other hand,
while yer keeps two more off with yer
feet and yells 'Evenin' paper all the
timer
Moo, I don't" replied the well
dressed boy.
''Then yer are no good in the news
boy biz" replied the tattered philoso-
pher. 'Ye'd better git yer people to
prentice yer to somethin' light"

An Atmospbere of Happine.a.

Happiness is, we maintain, a good
end. The only question is, How much
sacrifice is it worth? Well, certainly
not the sacrifice of sincerity and GER
tainly not the sacrifice of others, but
surely the sacrifice of the habit of men
tai laZiness, which is only self sacri-
fee. If by a little trouble we can ere
ate for ourselves a sweet atmosphere
in which to live, we are surely doing
nothing of which we need be ashamed.
After all, no one breathes his own at
mOsphere alone; others breathe it with
him. If happiness is Il despicable OBJ
ject, let us face the fact sincerely and
give up all the many things which we
now do openly and exclusively to OBJ
tain it. If It is not, why should we not
pull ourselves together, give our at
tention to the game and play up?-

AN AUTHORS WORKSHOP.
The Place Where BuIyver-LyttOn
Could Write at Ease.

Could Write mt Ease.
When Charles Mackay was visiting
Lord Lytton at Knebworth, he was inn
pressed, he says in his ''Recollections, -
with the beauty of the library. He re-
marked to the novelist that in such a
cheerful room among so many books
any author could get through a vast
amount of labor.
Il cannot write so we'll in the Ii
brary," replied Lord Lytton, las in an
other place. Take q stroll with me, and
1 will show you my favorite study"
They went for considerable dis
lance to the shore of an artificial lake
in Knebworth park, and.there stood a
boathOuse. \ small boat was drawn
up on one side of it, and on the other,
near a small window, stood a chair
and common deal table, on which
was a pewter inkstand.
Pulling open the drawer, Lord Lytton
showed his guest n good supply of pa
per. pens and Il blotting book.
II can write more freely here" he
said, ethan in the grand library. 1 will
tell you how the habit grew. When I
was a small boy, was very ambitious
to write and wrote an immense amount
of trash. My mother thought that the
occupation of so much time in writing
would be injurious to my health and
prohibited my writing in the library.
81 then had recourse to my bedroom,
but was in due time banished from
that and deprived of pen and ink. The
more imperatively 1 was forbidden to
write the more 1 INDUCED in the pro-
hibited joy. L took refuge in the boat
house and wrote for hours with a lead
pencil using the seat of the boat for
my writing table. So learned to write
here, and 1 can do better work here
than anywhere else."-Youths Com

The District Fair.

For q number of years the State Agri-
cultural officials have studied and la
Eored for the ''fair idea," and many
parishes have held fairs and Others
purpose holding them this fall. Dis
trict fairs have been organized III few
sections of the State, and it is crafty.
ing to know tnat tie Florida Parishes
have embraced this movement. 1n the
near future the State will be in posi-
ton TO hold State fair, at which all
the parishes and districts will be rep
resented.
At meeting held in Clinton, La,
August IL, 1902. interested parties OF
the district assembled, discussed aud
arranged for 4 District FAIR this tall.
The State Board OF Agriculture and Inn
migration, through Major j. q. Lee,
Commissioner, made most liberal do +
nation. Some of the parishes had
already appropriated as much rs 500,
and it is expected that every Florida
Parish will contribute liberally Of its
money and energy to this important
cause.
Extensive preparations ale in prog
ress. An attractive and generous prem.
iuln catalogue is in press, and the pr.zes
offered fol so great variety OF prod
ucts can not but attract the very best
products Of the farms, gardens and
stockyards that the Florida Parishes
possess.
Special premiums will be offered for
the best parish exhibits. This feature
of the Calhoun District Fair has been
especially encouraging to the orsaniza
tion of parish fairs, and has developed
a better parish pride and keener and
frlendlier competition among the vari
Gus parishes vi the district. 1t is ex-
pected that all the Floriaa Parishes
district will begin at once to prepare
exhibits for the premiums, and that
everything will be in readiness for the
fair 10 Dc held in Clinton, La, Oct. 8,
10 and IL, 1902. Individual exhibitors
may campete for the general premiums,
and afterwards JON in the combined
exhibit for the parish prizes.
Let US see to it that this maiden ef-
fort to establish great District Fair
will result in u permanent organization.
and that the rewards of progress and
prosperity that have come to other Sec
tions will be ours.

A pathetic incident recently occurred
in connection with a biograph scene in
one of our Western cities, says Popu-
lar Science. The instrument was one
of the large ones used to throw q NOV
ing picture on screen for public en-
tertainment. Some of the views show
ed incidents Of the occupation of Pc
kin by the foreign troops. One repre-
scented a detachment of the Fourteenth
United States Infantry entering the
gates. AS the last file Of soldiers
seemed to be literally stepping from
the frame to the stage, there came q
scream from woman sitting in one
of the front rows.
MY brother! my brother" she cried.
'%There is my dead brother Allen,
marching with the soldiers"
She had recognized the figure as that
Of man who had mysteriously disap-
peared several years before, and had

The woman wrote at once to the

that the man who had been so strange
" discovered to her was indeed her
brother.

WHAT AROUSED THE DOG.
Had He Sixth Sense that Revealed
His Masters Mishap.

Had He Sixth Sense that Revealed
His Masters Mishap.
Among the tales told Of the intelli-
gence and affection of our canine
friends by Mrs. Sarah X. Bolton in her
recent book, Our Devoted Friend, the
Dog is the story of Dan, deerhound,
lwned by L. c.. Meachamp, Homer, La.
Mr. Meachamp was one day going on
a squirrel hunt, and not wishing Dan
to accompany him, tied the dog to
post by a rope. Dan whined and begged,
but finding his master obdurate, at last
lay down quietly before his kennel.
It was growing dusk and time for the
hunter to return, when Mrs. Meachamp
was suddenly disturbed by the whining
and barking Of the dog, who had been
quiet all day up to that time. She
spoke to the dog, but instead of being
pacified at this attention, he redoubled
his exertions and broke the rope which
held him. Then he bounded away, over
the fence and into the woods.
He was gone perhaps half an hour,
when he came running back, painting
and almost breathless, with his mas
ter's hat in his mouth.
Mrs. Meachamp became at once
alarmed, and calling her son, they set
off to find the missing man, Dan all
the time bounding ahead and leading
the way At length they came upon
Mr.. Meachamp lying helpless in the
woods, where he had fallen into little
ditch and broken his leg.
The accident happened, as nearly as
could be reckoned, as the moment when
the dog began to show his uneasiness.
That he should have had knowledge Of
the accident seems incredible, but his
master firmly believes that he did know
it. and that it was because he knew
it that he was so anxious to get away.

are folded back along the upper jaw
and are covered with a feshy mem
brane to protect them from injury.
Back of each fang are several more in

fang is broken the first reserve one
drops down into socket alongside that

soon tightly fixed to the maxillary bone

the world. Don't be vermiform ap.

There Is an impression abroad that in
this new era Of industrial consolidation
young men have a much diminished op-
portunity to rise to positions of emil
nence. 1t is argued that the number of
'tjobs'' where men can be Independent
and make their own fortune is steadily
decreasing, in spite of the growth OF
our manufactures and commerce. DR..
Albert Shaw, editor Of the Review OF
Reviews, in a university address before
a fine audience Of young men at Chi
cago undertook to show that these ap-
prehensions are exaggerated. He de-
MED outright that money is more than
man in the modern world of business;
the reverse he asserted to be the case.
A generation ago, when a man could
get 10 per cent on his money in safe
investments, a fortune Of $50, 900 would
yield it's possessor a comfortable in
come, sufficient to enable him to live
without effort If he chose. Now that the
interest rate is cut in two, that same
man, if he desires to maintain the same
standard Of living, must either have
twice $4,000 or he must put his own
efforts with his capital to keep up his
income; and this process is constantly
going on so that the ratio of man to a
dollar is growing every year, provided
always that the man is trained man.
UnskiIled and unspeciahZed labor
stands poor chance in the present
competition. 1t is true that in the com.
ing era Of centralized production and
distribution the proportion Of men on
salaries will increase, but the salaries
will also increase in proportion as the
worth Of q trained man, who can dc
some one thing that nobody else can do
so we'll, grows with the increasing ex-
actions Of business. DR.. Shaw does not
regard this increase Of the salaried
class as misfortune to American man.
hood, but rather the reverse; for, other
things being equal, that man has the
largest opportunity for personal devel,
opment and public service whose living
comes to him without anxiety on his
part, through the faithful performance
Of duties to which he has been trained
leaving some Of his time and some OF
his energies free to think of other
things than money and to seek some of
the higher ends Of life to which money
getting is unquestionably an obstacle.
