Take Counsel with Yourself.

Young men cannot estimate too
highly they advice of parents and
friends. 1t affords, them the benefit
of experience, and is given. them from
sincere solicitude for their welfare 1t
should be remembered and weighed,
and acted upon. But, after all, every
man has his own individual existence;
he has his own life to live, for which
he alone is accountable. He should
sit down and mediate by himself. and
make up his mind as to the course
which he wishes to pursue in this
world. Having done this, he should
enter upon the execution If his plans
with determination to accomplish
what he undertakes, without reference
to the opinions of others.

one Of the keenest debaters on his side
of the house.
Senator Spooner is SO years old. His
home is in Madison, Wis.
Senator William A. Clark of Mon
tana is almost too rich to be. happy.
He is so rich and his wealth has been
so widely advertised that he is the
prey of the horde which dog the tracks
of money. Some are criminals and
others are cranks; there are mendi-
cants in all guises, from the colored
man in a white lawn tie and black
clothes, who wants a subscription to
a more or less mythical church or
educational institution, to the college
president in search of a million dollar
endowment There are adventures
and blackmailers of all sorts. People

perfect, articles to sell and unhopsed
lunatics with a grudge against the
rich are all camping. day and night, in
the path of Senator Clark. -
One consequence of this is a coHdon
of private guards about his house and
rule that no one can be admitted
after sundown. Even members of con-
gress and representatives of the press
are excluded under this rule. In his
political work he is hampered by the
same conditions. He cannot see call
ers with the freedom of other members
of congress. Access must be had
through gauntlet of secretaries and
doortenders. Nor does Senator Clark
appear like a happy man. He has
haunted look in his eyes, and he never
is seen to smile or laugh. He is only
a poor rich man.
The greatest pleasure Nine. Wu has
these days is her locomoblie in which
she rides each day. She will spend the

deal of the time on the board walk.

Nine. WI is still studying English, and
