A FOOLS LIFE

We see him every few days, an old
man fairly we'll preserved and able to
do enough chores and light work to
support himself after very miserable
fashion. We know something of this
mans history, and as his case is one
of thousands and carries, or should
carry, lesson for boys, we give it.
AS young man he cared little or
nothing for education and only cared
to have what his kind call "a devil of
a good time" spending every cent he
earned for such tomfoolery as poker,
liquor, races, cigars, pools and other
kinds of folly. He never had any
business standing or business credit,
for he had no sense of honor in bus
mess matters. He married nice girl,
though in marrying him she showed
she had no sense, and for forty years
he lived from hand to mouth, his chill
dren discredit to his country. The
mother-you know what a woman
thus mated has to suffer-years ago
gave up the unequal struggle and
went, we trust, to better country and
into better society. During his later
years this man has had much to say
about the world being out of joint,
the corruption of politics and the slim
chance which poor man has in the
life struggle, when the bare, bald
truth about his case is that he finds
himself at 70 without money and with
but few friends solely because of his
own stupidity and folly. Had he been
half a man, done even half mans
work, peen half way decent in his way
of living and treatment of his family,
he might have had money, friends and
the loving care and ministration of his
children. The worst of it all is that
there are hundreds of boys following
this poor old fellows example, and
they, like him, will find themselves
at ~ minus money and friends, with
nothing in sight but paupe1 S shroud
and burial. Fools, fools! Six.

Young man, you are mistaken. Read

excellence, and no may develop it if

Go read about Captain Cook, who was
born in mud hut, and started life
as cabin boy, and circumnavigated the
globe; about Lord Eden, as a boy
shoveling coal, as man on the wool
sack in the British Parliament for
nearly half a century; later about
Andrew Carnegie, the messenger boy
Cyrus Field, rebuffed by the wealth
of two continents and wrung victory
from repeated defeat. These and
other multitudes might be quoted who
achieved high distinction under the
pressure of limited circumstances and
demonstrated that poverty even is no
inseparable obstacle to success.
The great thoughts of great men
are now to be procured at merely
nominal prices You can therefore
easily collect a library of choice stan

reflect even more than you read.
Without thought books are only the

IMPROVE YOUR TIME, YOUNG
MAN.

Why do so few young men of early
promise. whose hopes, purposes and
resolves were as radiant as the colors
of the rainbow, fail to distinguish
themselves? The answer is obvious
they are not willing to devote them
selves to that toilsome culture which
is the price of great success. whatever
aptitude for particular pursuits nature
may donate to her favorite children,
she conducts none but the laborious
and studious to distinction. Great
men have ever been men of thought
as we'll as action, and their dominant
influence dates its origin from hours
of study resolutely employed in efforts
after self-development. Unless you
are determined to dig after knowledge
as men search for concealed gold, you

In commenting on subscription
that had been taken up for the benefit
of cyclone sufferers and whose contrib
utors were largely the business men
of the city an exchange pertinently
asks: Just as a reminder: How
much has Montgomery Ward and com
pany, or Sears Roebuck, or any other
Chicago mail order house given to the
cyclone sufferers in this city? How
much? Not cent. When some peo-
pie think they are going to save few
cents they send their money out of
town but when there is any call for
help or donation the business men
have to put up the bulk of it. And
these calls come mighty often. This
is one of business mans many ex-
pense items that some people never
figure on. -

PENSIONS IN THE YEAR 2O50.

Calculation from past experience
this country will be paying for the
Liberation of Cuba for hundred and
forty seven years to come. According
to last years record we are still pay
ing pensions to four widows and four
daughters of pensioners of the revo-
1utionary war, and that war ended
nearly a hundred and twenty years
ago One survivor of the war of 1919
is yet getting his quarterly pension
checks and 1,317 widows of his COM
rades are doing likewise. There are
6,728 Mexican war pensioners living
and the widows of 8,017 are drawing
pesions on that account. The num-
Der of civil war pensioners a year
ago was 900, 446.
At the present time there are 65, 000
applications for pensions an account
of the war with Spain in 1898 and 10.
600 of them favorably acted upon II
is calculated that within few months
there will be one applicant for Span
ish war pension for every two Of the
soldiers enlisted in that war. The
pension agents are doing land Office
business in this line and when we cal
cuiate the number of young men il

NEW YORK, April t4-The cotton market
 opened steady at decline of points to an advance of point under disappointing cables and liquidation. but almost imediateiy turned stronger as result of fresh purchases of May
 by the bull leaders and of further covering of shorts The action of thes bull pool s;n forcing this advance was apparently for the purpose of securing better selling level, for when May reached l0.60 and July io.i7 the mar ket broke sharply under liquidation which was apparently chiefly for this account The de- cline was encouraged by .he liberal receirts Tor the day which turned out l3o3e bales against i2.344 bales last year, and by the rather beartsh coniparisons afforded by the in- terior movement, The later cables from Iiv- erpool also were factor in the weakness.

 NEW ORLEANS April l4.-Liverpool inn proved, but in such a reluctant manner and to such a slight extent that an unchanged report may have served the turn just as well as far as American markets were concerned Parties seem to cut no figure In this particular in- stance. though this item may command serious attention later on. The approach of New Or leans prices to the same level of value existing fors Summer deliveries fin Liverpool suggests that foreign spinners are fully supplied for the remainder of the season. while American spin ners are dependent on the remnant of the crop for their supplies, but suggestions especially of this character are not to be taken seriously. It is hard to believe that foreign spinners have as a unit made full provision for events four months ahead. with high level of prices pre- vailing. and the future full of uncertainty. Thus there is reason to discard the theory that further appreciable demand will be observed from that quarter. There were wide and fre- quent fluctuations here without the market manifesting any definite tendency For the most part the tone was decidedly nervous. Big bulls were said to be engaged in active op- eratons In New York on both sides the lead ing New York bull operator being identife as heavy seller but there was nothing posi- tive to be deducted from this feature. Some realizing was influenced for account of scat tered longs, however. which helped to force a moderate decline. Regardless of what may ultimately result from the sfforts of manipula- tors, 1t is quite evident that in the meantime violent fluctuations are likely to be the rule. Under such circumstances the policy of safety seems to be the best to pursue, unless one is constituted to resist shocks of any magnitude.
