Isn't this young mans age' bust
ness being bit overdone? You can't
pick up newspaper that doesn't con-
tain some allusicn to the achievements
of the modern youth, while Roosevelt
and Emperor William have furnished
enough inspiration for young-mah ed
itorials to float a battleship. We have
forgotten history. Every age since the
dawn Of civilization has been the
young mans age. 1t was SO in the be-
ginning, and 1t will always be so. 1t
is the part of youth to do things. Over
a century ago Charles James Fox, at
20. was Lord of the English Admiral
ty. He was dissolute and tricky, but
keen and able. His rival. William
Pitt, managed the office of Chancellor
of the EXchequer Mt % and was a Pre-
mier Of England at "a Prince Ed

battle of Crecy, in 1876, and led the
English army to great victory Mt "a.
AT 10 Mozart was director of the Arch
bishop of SalZburg's orchestra. Re
member that, you who marvel at the
youth of Hoffman and Kubelik. Da-
vid, the shepherd boy, was king at
10, and james WHIT made possible the
steam engine while a boy. Rafael had
finished his masterpiece at 80 and Cor
tez was master of Mexico at 36. Pat
rick Henry was n leader at 90, and
Schubert, he of the beautiful melodies,
was in his grave ut 81. Napoleon, a
self-made man, swept the Austrians
from Italy before lie was 20. He had
his foot on Europe's neck while he
was still n young man. Alexander con-
quered Persia at %, and Keats, the
hostler's son, was singing sweet songs
at 20. Burns had done his work at
81 and Byron died at the age of SO.
There isn't any end to the list. 1t
should encourage the young man of to-
day. Fame and greatness have been
for those who would win them in all
times. To-day there are more opportu-
mites than at any time in the worlds

warriors, but our Napoleons are great
in the fields of industry and the arts

luxurious living. Every man seems
straining every nerve to Guido some

than his neighbor. Dress, furnishing,

it will approximate $6,000,000.

Edwards Modest Dauohters.

King Edwards three daughters
seem to be devoid of personal ambi-
tion and to be quite willing that their
sisterin-law and their aunts. Helena,
Louise and Beatrice. should represent
royalty in their stead So far from
profiting by the risk in rank which
their fathers accession gained them,
the Duchess of Fife and her sisters
prefer to stay away from functions
where they would precede Queen Vic
toria's daughters, so it is not often
that these illustrious ladies meet in
full state array. One parliament
opening and the coronation have seem
ed about enough for them. 1t is
scarcely likely that the Duke of Fife's
daughters will make royal matches.
and in all probability they will be-
come British peeresses and have a far
more pleasant life than if they turned
into German princesses and had to
follow q foreign spouse to his oWn
country.
