The coal strike hasn't been settled, but disturbance irf Brooklyn, New York, that has been more important to those affected by it than the coal strike has been composed. It appears that the High School boys of Brooklyn have been under severe discipline in the matter of football. No matter how good boys muscle and wind might be he couldn't practice with the football team so long as he had conditions in any of his studies; that is, if he had fallen below the passing mark in any of them. That has been the rule in the local high schools. So rigidly has the rule been enforced by Dr. Marlborough at the Boys High School that he has reduced the number of students practis- ing for the team from about forty to somewhere around a dozen. The pres
 tige of the football team was in danger, so the boys asked for a modification of the rules, and nave won concession
 which is expected to make good players available for the tears without Impair ing the school work. Heretofore any boy who fell below the passing average in any one study was debarred from playing. Hereafter the general scholas- tic average of a boy is to be con- sidered in relation to football. If his
 general average is up to the passing mark he may play; that is, if his rank in his best studies is high enough to offset his deficiencies in his poorest.
 The boys feel better now, and football in the Brooklyn schools will be nearer what it ought to be than it has been.

SAMUEL DAVIS, SPY AND HERO.

Connecticut has her Nathan Hale, and Tennessee has her Samuel Davis. Sam uel Davis was young Confederate sol- dier, to whose memory monument has just been erected at Nashville, Tennes- see. He was a scout in the service of General Braxton Bragg, and by some clever work of disguise, coupled with nerve, managed to get from Federal sollier information as to the strength of the Union forces posted around Pulaski, Tennessee at which point General Granville M. Dodge was in command. Davis had the ill-luck to be captured, and on his person were found papers that revealed the information he had gleaned, and which he intended to con- vey to the Confederate general. The young scout was imprisoned, and all sorts of persuasion and threats were employed to get him to reveal the name of his informant. He was assured that no harm would come to him if he dis closed it, but that death, should he per- sist in refusing to tell, would surely be his punishment. You may hang me ten thousand times" said the youth, but you can never make me disclose the identity of the man who gave me the information" He was hanged as a spy, General Dodge signing the order. But his heroism and faithfulness were not forgotten. and when the project to erect the monument was under way General Dodge sent his check for $100 to aid in the movement.

TAKEN AS AN OMEN.

When the Hangman's Rope Broke All
 Said Purdy was Innocent.
 Although I never saw but one hang ing, witnessed a sight that even pro- fessional hangmen have not seen," said A. A. Albrechton of Columbus, Miss. Tt was at my home. A young Missis- sippian named Purdy had been convict ed of murder in the first degree and sentenced to hang. The evidence was wholly circumstantial and before he was accused of that crime the young man had borne an excellent reputation. He was also connected by marriage with some of the best people in the state.
 Nevertheless, he was sentenced to hang and the governor would not re- prieve him. There were two factions in the community. one believing him gull ty. and the other considering him inno- cent The latter talked of rescue, but it was all talk.
 "The scaffold was not inclosed and when young Purdy ascended the gall lows he walked erect and fearless. He denied his guilt, and all who saw him were compelled to admit his bearing was that of an innocent man. The black cap was pulled over his face, the sheriff pulled lever, and the next we saw was man getting up from the ground. snatching the black cap from his head and declaring dramatically: God has proved my innocence
 ''The rope had broken. That was enough. Former enemies turned into adherents, and before the sheriff could again take his prisoner to the gallows and get another rope he was in the cen- ter of a crowd of thousands of people, all of whom were swearing there were not sheriffs enough in Mississippi to hank an innocent man.
 "Purdy was taken home, and on es- cort of two hundred and fifty armed and determined men went with him and remained until there was no danger of any further proceedings being taken. Without any legal formalties the mat ter was allowed to drop, and Purdy is living eighteen miles from Columbia, respected and happy.
 "Joy almost killed his wife when she saw him alive at the time she expected his corpse to be brought home. To say Purdy is guilty is now almost as much as mans life is worth down there."- Denver Post.

THE LONG STRIKE.

The long strike has now lasted five months, and while it cannot be said that it is now no nearer its end than it has been it is not as near it as those who suffer from it wish it was. Still, there is hope, and reasonable hope. that this week will see developments that will be encouraging. if not definitely joyful. Secretary Root has had talk with J. Pierpont Morgan, and something may come out of that. An effort is to be made to mine more coal this week, and if it is successful that may have a powerful effect on the strike And at any minute some of the secret negotia- tions that have been going on may blossom into peace. Meanwhile the fuel famine and the panic don't seem to be increasing in intensity, The weather is not cold, and people are finding out that while it is not exactly safe to depend upon the Lord to provide they can, by the exercise of their own ingenuity, get along.
 If there is anybody who hasn't sol emnly and vociferously propounded a remedy for the condition of things let him hasten to propound. He may be the man we are all looking for.

themselves can be used prudently with expectation that they will last as long as We do. And this brings us to our main point. A man is regarded as com fortably off if ne has a principal that enables him to live forever on it's in come. But he is surely not going to live forever. Why should he not say, There is no probability that I shall live beyond ninety. will use my property on that basis? That is not so comfort able as to be able to feel that you have money enough to care for you if you lived one thousand years, but | is not reasonable? We believe that it will be found that the modern method of living on the income of principal has pro- foundly changed the attitude of men to- ward the fear of poverty. It has made them feel that they were not safe until they had enough to live on forever at the lowest rates of interest. A most in teresting psychological study would be as to the change that has been wrought in the attitude of men toward the fear of poverty by the invention Of interest bearing shares in property or business values.
 But the sovereign release from this over-shadowing fear is to be found in trust in God. Perhaps the fear has be- come so great because we have lost that trust. And yet we have only to reflect how readily riches take to themselves wings to realize that they are no cer- tain guarantee against poverty. We are all of us in the hands of God, and he who notes the fall of sparrows does not forget his children. Your Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things."-Boston Watchman.

MICH PowEE wlrnorr COAL.

Perhaps the time will come when a long coal strike won't be as important as this one is. When the water power of this country is all employed there Will be a great deal of power not de- pendent on coal. What is going on in this line at Niagara Falls is instructive and encouraging. The original Ameri- can company, the IN. F. Power Com pany.' has an output of 5O.000 horse power and will soon produce 55,0O0 more. The Hydraulic Power Company now produces 3O.OOO horsepower, but will soon add 10000 more. On the Ca- nadian side there are two companies utilizing the falls to generate electric ity, each to produce 100000 horsepower Besides these plants there are other smaller ones on both sides of the river.
 Here is an aggregate approaching 500,O 900 horsepower. equivalent to the re- suit of burning vast quantity of coal. And the work of utilizing other power- full streams is now going on.

sOCIETY's WORST DISEASE.
The Fear of Poverty Among the Edu-
 cated Classes.


 cated Classes.
 Professor William James has recently expressed the rather startling opinion that 'the fear of poverty among the educated classes is the worst moral dis ease from which our civilization suf- fers." Without assenting to the literal exactness of this statement, we do not believe that one can associate intomate- ly with the people in general and fail to realize that the fear of poverty rests like a dark cloud over most of their lives.
 During the last five or ten years this fear has been intensified with the de- cline in the rates of interest. Three and a half per cent. is the utmost return from Investments that can be anticipa- ted with unquestioned guarantees. That means that it is practically impos- sible for the average man to acquire a principal that will support him in com- fort Even an income of 8 thousand dollars a year represents a capital of nearly thirty thousand dollars. The menace of poverty, after working days are over, seems to rest over most men. And there must be added to this the fact that working days are gradually being diminished by the prevailing cus- toms Much is said about a dead line of fifty in the ministry. But there is a dead line at about that age in business. Let the average man of fifty be seeking q position in mercantile life and see if he will not discover that there is a dead line" He will find that gray hairs are at discount in the counting room ts we'll as in the pulpit.
 But this dark picture is mitigated by various considerations. A man who has children may rightly look forward to a comfortable old age. The insur- ance policy, whether life or endowment, may be regarded as 8 serviceable life boat, and though the income from sav- ings may be meager, yet the savings
