Woman winning Her way.

On the very day of the announce
ment of the death of the first wom-
an who ever entered old Harvard,
an award of 81, 900 is given by Johh
Hopkins for "the best piece of
scientioe research performed by a
woman" A lucrative scholarship
is also obtained by another woman
at Wellesley for scientific study at
Naples.
AT the same time news of wom-
ans work in the various fields and
activities of life includes senti-
ment expressed by Senator Han
ma of Ohio, who in talking to the
students of the Ohio State Univer-
sity, declared that "girl stenograph-
ers are brighter, quicker, and q
great deal safer" than men. A dis
patch out of Washington gives the
information that the Red Cross
nurses "are exhibiting bravery
greater than that of any officers"
in looking after the wants of sold
iers afflicted with leposy.
These are a perfect shower of
compliments coming to the sex
which in ages past was considered
too weak for anything but the du-

A Francis M. Cockrell presiden-
tial boom has been started by
Champ Clark, who gives the fol-
lowing reasons for the hot air:
First, because of his long and
distinguished public service. SEQ.
ond, because he. in good faith, sup
ported the Democratic candidates
and platforms in 1896 and 1900
in fact, at all times. Third, he
would be acceptable to the bus
mess interests of the country.
Fourth. his record as confeder

would commend him to union vet.

iably casts her electoral vote for

The National Conventions at st.
Louis.

An urgent appeal is made that
the two great National @ Conventions
next year to be held by the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties shall
be called to assemble at st. Louis.
The principal reason put forth is
that the Louisiana Purchase Elk.
position will be in full operation
during the summer when the con-
ventions will meet, and therefore
that the two parties shall add i'm
Importance to the occasion by call
ing their National Conventions for
st. Louis. 1t will be blending of
patriotism and politics. The op-
position on the Republican side is
that if their convention goes to st.
Louis it will be overshadowed by
the great exposition, and will be a
mere sideshow. This is probably
the voice of Chicago, which of
course would like to have both oon-
ventions. The Washington Post
submits this argument in favor of
st. Louis as the Convention City.
The st. Louis Exposition is, in
the broadcast sense, both National
and international. 1t celebrates
one of the greatest events not only
in the country's. but in the worlds
history. The National Govern
ment has invested millions in it
and has formallyinvited all nations
to participate in it. Would it be
becoming for the Republican par
ty-the party that hiss been almost
continuously in power in the Re-
public since 1S61-to take it's CON-
vention to some other locality,
when by going to st. Louis could
greatly enhance both the interest
in and success of the fair2
This is for Republicans to con-
slider, but if st. Louis gets both the
National Conventions, having the
exposition as a certainty, there is
danger that its capacity may be
overtaxed. But risking this the
probabilities are that st. Louis will
be chosen as the convention city
by both parties. 1t will attract
many thousands to the crowds the
exposition will draw to st. Louis,
and the combined display of poll.
tics and worlds fair will make
the greatest popular demonstra-
ton this country has ever seen.
All the people desire that the
worlds fair shall be a great suc-
cess, and the holding of the two
great National Conventions in the
city will make that achievement a
certainty.-Pittsburg Post.

How to Keep Young.

She is one of the most interest
ing women in the world. Oyer 65
years old. eight built, sensitive
and pervous-and though she has
seen more suffering than fslls to
the lot of most women, she is still
young.
Her prescription for youthful
ness is interesting and we'll worth
trying.
How do 1 stand all this wear
and tesrP Economy. That's it,
economy. 1 save my strength.
When I'm not working at the bus
ines which is my very life. 1 either
rest or play. 1 don't putter. That's
what ages women-puttering.
When 1 see a teacher breaking
down OF trained nurse giving up
with nervous prostration 1 wonder
when women will learn to stop
puttering.
1T isn't work that wears out;
it's fretting and puttering. The
way to keep young? Stop worry
ing and go to work. Throw your
self, heart and soul, brain and
nerve, into some one thing; make
a fetish of it; throw every bit of
energy you've got into it-house-
keeping, taking care of children,
teaching; writing, nursing-it
doesn't make bit of difference
what you do; it's the way you do it
that counts. Copy the first young
looking man you see; do the way
he does; work when you are work
ing. but when you are not work
ing, cultivate the art of being
amused. STANDARD.

Loving ones Work.

The great tobacco, manufactur-
er, James B. Duke. recently in an
interview made certain statements
that are we'll worth the attention
of the young men of the country.
"The one straight road to suo-
cess," he said, sis to learn to love
your business" and he further ex-
expressed himself in this manner:
A man must love his business
better than he loves anything else
if we would make success sure. 1t
is the true, the only way. We en-
ploy more than a hundred tnous-
and persons in our vast tobacco
business, and as the director of
this force / never fail to observe
that the man who works because
he would sooner do tn 1t than any
thing else 1t is the practical se-
cret of success This tobacco bus.
iness is my pastime, as we'll as my
.dut uty.-zE - '''-.'-'ss
A man can do oest that which
he loves best. If he has started
in a business which he cannot
learn to love, then he should go
into some other business. He will
never succeed in this age of CON-
petition unless he can find real
pleasure in his work. The max
ing of money is not a sufficient
incentive. He must find his high
est enjoyment in the task itself.
No man who works along that line
can fail. That is my judgment,
based on my own experience and
observation.
Speaking from the higher
standard it may we'll be said that
it is every mans duty to love his
work, and to do it well in order
that he may be of real use in the
world. and thus contribute his
share to the sum of that earnest
and unselfish effort which en-
mobiles the worlds activities.
1t is not possible for every one
to follow where the strongest in
clination leads, but it is possible
for all to become interested in the
duties of the day and to learn to
love to do good work He pray
eth best who lowest best" and he
does his best work who loves it.

so philosophical, so Huxley like on
the races of mankind. Most of the
article is an analytical history of
the principal races and the causes
that contributed to their advance
ment or their decay. The latter
part deals gently and fairly with
the negro and our efforts to elevate
and refine him by education. From
Mr.. Orme's viewpoint and the laws
of ethnology and biology this can
not be done and the effort will be
in vain.
But l have not time or space to
review his admirable treatise. Let
our thoughtful men. our wise men,
our learned professors in the col
leges read it and they will find
abundant food for thought and
serious reflection. Mr.. Orme
seems as familiar with enthnollogy,
biology, anthropology. sociology
and all the other ologies as Hux-
ley or Humboldt or Darwin. We
old veterans are pleased to see our
young men taking hold of these
things. Ever since the war our
people have seemed almost par
alyzed for fear of making their
condition more intolerable by talk

of independence and younger men
are coming to the front.

Good friends, kind friends.
what is to be done about this. But
the editor of The Times is mis-
taken when he says the same con-
ditions are common to all the
older states. We have no such
people in Georgia. In some of
our mountain counties the people
are illiterate, but they are honest
and moral and attend church and
observe the marriage relation and
obey the laws of the land and
make the best soldiers the world
ever saw. They have courts twice
a year and it takes only a half a
week to clear the criminal dock
cts.
Now, / was thinking that as
Boston and Hartford and New
Haven had sent a big lot of money
down here to educate and reform
our negroes it would be nothing
but fair for us to send a lot of
graduates up there to do mission.
ary work in Connecticut and Mass
achusetts. These negro graduates
couldn't teach them the lost art of
making wooden nutmegs. but they
could teach school and preach and
the New England people could
pay them for it and keep their
money at home. Something must
be done and done quick or the
Puritan race will become extinct.
L reckon these colored graduates
would make good missionaries.
They have never tried anything
else.
