A Chicago millionaire, George T..
Cline, had an extraordinary hobby.
He was connoisseur of IrishmeA, ac-
cording to the local papers. Though
on himself he would never spend More
than 10 or 20 cents a day, he thought
nothing Of buying Irlshmen sumptu-
GUS dinners, with champagne, in order
to hear them talk in their musical
brogue An Irishman once played
Colonel Cline false. He stole pair of
boots from him. Discovering the theft;
the millionaire pursued the Irishman,
oyertaking him as he was about to en-
ter pawnshop with the boots in his
hand. "Those are my boots; you have
stolen them," said Colonel Cline. "Sure,
it was only joke" said the Irishman.
But the memorable millionaire hailed
the thief before magistrate, and here
again the man repeated, at was only
a joke, your honor" "Only a joke,
hey" said the magistrate. "WelI, Mr..
Cline, how far away from your house
had he carried the boots when you
overlook him?" cover a mile, sir" re-
piled the millionaire. Held for court"
said the magistrate. "This is a case of
carrying the joke too far"

WRONG THINKING.

Wrong thinking is Indicative of weakness 1t is,
indeed species of insanity, for wrong thinker is
continually tearing down and wrecking his own
mental and physical structure The right thinker
is the only sane thinker, and he is the happest as
we'll as the most successful man. asserts Orson S.
Marden in Success. He knows better than to keep
constantly tripping himself up with the adverse
thought which produces destructive conditions.
We all know the disastrous effects of wrong
thinking. We know by experience how it cripples
LUIS mentally and physically. Physicians are well
Aware that anger poisons the blood, and that fear
ANXIETY, fretting and all other mharmonous
thoughts seriously interfere with the normal action
of AN the bodily functions. They are also alive to
the fact that anxiety or apprehension of impending
disasteE if of long duration, is liable to bring on
paralysiA 1t is an established fact that a mother
is not only seriously affected by her own thought,
but that Aafects her infant to such extent that
the same symptoms and conditions from which the
mother suhelS are reproduced IN the body of the
infant. SelfsAness, jealousy and envy long INDUCED
in tend to prodAce serious liver troubles and certain
forms of dyspepAia. Lack of self-control and ha-
btual indulgence Nm violent passions shatter the
nervous SYSTEM lessen the will power and induce
grave disorders Worry is one of the greatest enc
mics of the human race; it carves its deep burrows
wherever 1t goes; it cahSies gloom and unhappiness
with il; it delays prev Nuts the processes of dges-
ton and assimilation UNI the starved brain and
cells utter their prote in various kinds of di
sease, sometimes even in insanity.
Wrong thinking, whateveA its nature, leaves in
delible scars on mind and body alike. 1t affects
character and material prospects equally. Every
time you grumble find fault eSery time you lose
your temper; every time you do mean, contempti-
BILE thing, you suffer loss which cannot be repaired.
You lose certain amount of power, of self-respect,
and of uplifting and upbuilding character force.
You conscious of your loss, too, which tends to
weaken you still further.
a man who wants to do his best must keep him
self in good mental trim. If he would achieve the
highest success he must be correct thinker. He
cannot think dlscocd and bring harmonious condi-
tions into his business. His wrong thought will
honeycomb and undermine his prospects in life.

TWO PHILANTHRoPIsTs,

If the philanthropic ideas of Andrew Carnegie
and Charles M. Schwab were submitted to popular
vote, the chances would he immensely in favor of
the approval of Mr.. Schwab's notions.
Mr. Carnegie's penchant for libraries, with the
conditions which he imposes, is earning for him
more contempt than fame Several cities have RI
fused to shoulder the burden prescribed by the steel
magnate-the raising of a sum of money equal to
his proposed gift-and are without his benefaction.
Some of the towns that have accepted his money
and pledged themselves to maintain the Libraries III
costly style finding the expense too heavy 1t is
argued that in this of cheap books the library
is not the most vital institution imaginable. Again,
the profusion of libraries in n city like New York,
where thousand of children are unable to attend
school, either for lack of room or lack of sufficient
clothing, is anomalous, If these children can't
learn to read, how can they enjoy a library?
Now consider Mr. Schwab's method Of helping
his He is erecting industrial schools in five or
six towns where he worked in his youth The boys
who attend these schools will be taught a trade and
the girls will be given instruction in housework and
duties. Graduates of these schools will be equipped
for the battle oflif They will be self-supporting
producers.
AS between the two phanthropists, Mr.. Schwab
seems to be the wiser in the disposition of his

The Roman lupetto, which is almost
indistinguishable from the so called

bury or cover over any food given him
which he does not like. If fed on a

up the obnoxious food; If the carpet is
nailed down so that he cannot do this

his nose which would turn over the

MISS ALICE ROOSEVELT.

1t is too bad that Miss Alice Roosevelt, the
Oldest daughter of the president, can't go her own
sweet way without some newspaper making bold
faced announcement of her movements
Her latest move was to ride astride in the
streets of Washington and thereby ''shock society
The young woman from all accounts is a
bright, clever, vvacous girl, not any brighter, or
prettier clever than dozens of her girl
friends, but she is the daughter of the president
and to some extent belongs to the public.
She pays the penalty of her fathers exalted po-
sotion by being the subject for innumerable news
paragraphs.
THIS is always the case of the women whose
men are the heads of any government.
In the United States it has become matter of
regret that the wife and daughter of our presidents
have never been able to enjoy the slightest privacy
Every move they make is known and noticed
If they want to buy anything the fact is tele-
graphed over the country. And when they travel
the curious world knows the why and the wherefore
The sanctity of their home is invaded and sur
misses and facts so jumbed up that the result is
absurd statements that must make these much en-
during women raise their hands in holy horror at
the audacity which perverts common, everyday life
into marvellous and wonderful events.
So it is with Miss Roosevelt
While it is perfectly proper that this young wo-
man should be accorded all the prominence and
honor that is properly hers, it does seem that she
ought to be allowed to follow the pursuits and en-
ioyments of grlhood without being the object of
continual public supervision.
Riding astride is innovation is the east and
south. 1t is common in the west While it is far
from graceful, all must admit that it IS the best and
safest way for TO ride. Miss Roosevelt is
probably an impulsive and strenuous girl who likes
spirited horse. She has adopted this method of
riding in order to reduce the risk to life and limb.
That is all there is to it.
- Undoubtedly the general public is greatly In-
