A recent story is study of the char
acter of man who from youth has
conviction that he is born to some ex-
traordlnary experience. As he grows
older the idea becomes more sharply
defined. The experience is to be pain.
full and tragic, and is to remove him
from the plane OF ordinary lie. The
idea takes possession of him and domi-
mates his career. He undertakes moth
ing Of importance, since it may be
interrupted by catastrophe. He does
not permit himself love-he scarcely
ventures on friendship-because he be-
lieves himself marked for disaster.
One woman, to whom he copfides
his secret, shares his apprehension.
At last, not long before her death, she
perceives that the tragedy lurking Tor
him is merely hesitsncy, inaction, in-
capacity, brought about by the delu.
sion and the fear which have been
nurtured in bis own Imagination.
To the victim himself the truth Is
revealed when it is too late for him to
acquire any habit Of life other than the
tremulous and unachieving one. He
Discovers his own hjdeous lack of feel
ing and of will by the sight of the sor-
row-marked face Of q man who has
sounded the depths of human pain and
found even those to be better than the
shadows of apathy.
The story has Its lesson even for an
age as active as ours. We are not free
from the bsne- of reluctant fear lest
feeling shall outrnn mere pleasure.

NO OPIUM IN CHAMBERLAIN
COUGH REMEDY.-Many cough cures
contain opium. The effect of this drug
is to diminish sec. elton of the mucous,
and the relief afforded is only tempo
rary. As soon as the effect of the
opium passes off, the malady returns
in a more severe form. The system IS
also weakened and rendered more sus-
ceptible to cold. Chamberlains Cough
Remedy does not contain opium in any
form. 1t affords relief and leaves the
system in a healthy condition. It al

NO CHILDREN WANTED.

From the New York Commercial.
 Nothing that President Roosevelt has said in recent months has created more intense or widespread interest than his familiar utterances on race suicide" The sentiments of approval coming from all classes and all spheres of society are pleasing to hear. as they give assurance that the average American citizen Is a normal man not inclined to sacrifice eith- CT home-the foundation of the state-or endanger the state by his selhshness.
 While this Is true, in this metropolis we see many women leading dogs on the street and bestowing on them the care children are entitled to. We might call 1t wasting mother love. Also in this city there are many persons who shudder at the notion of the introduction of that strange and boisterous animal, a child, into their hotel or flat Perhaps it is right that there should be certain places to live where those who cannot endure children may abide in peace-and loneliness. They have our sympathy; 1t may not be their fault. But we do not expect to see the "ehlldless home," nor even the childless hotel, increase to such an abnormal ex- tent as to be a menace to our civilization We are not built that way.

Mark Twaln,s suaaestlons.

T notice Mark Twain has made some interesting suggestions regarding the pro- posed steamboat races on the Mississippi from New Orleans to St. Louis as feat ure of the Louisiana Purchase exposition next year." said a man at the Morris.
 sir Thomas Lipton first suggested the races to President David R. Francis of the exposition board, and the idea seems to have met with considerable favor. Mark Twain makes these suggestions:
 T think the boats should begin the trip at New Orleans. and side by side (not with an interval between), and end 1t at North St. Louis, a mile or two above the big mound. Have you a couple of six-day boats? Then you have a con- tinuous six-day Worlds fair advertise ment. The fair could issue the great war department map of the Mississippi, and every citizen would buy a copy and check off the progress of the race hour by hour and arrange his bets with such judlcious- ness as providence had provided him. This map is a yard wide and thirty-six feet long. It might be well to reduce it a little. As a fair advertisement it would be difficult to beat the boat race. As a spectacle, nothing could add to it, except an old-time blow-up as the boats finished the home stretch. But this should not be arranged; 1t is better left to providence and prayer !"

Swlnqinq Round a Biz Circle.

The President has left Washington to be absent over two months. Presi- dent Johnson swung around the circle, ana other Presidents have indulged in tours among their devoted supporters and fellow citizens. The tendency is to invite presidential trips, and the tendency among Presidents, especially if they propose to make the next race, is to accept such invitations. But no one had accepted them by the whole sale until President Roosevelt permit ted his friends to route" him over 14,000 miles of railroads in the north western section of the country.

that these are the first instances of uer sons sent to the penitentiary for lvnehint a negro. Tt is our shame! Now tha the law has begun to act, let law-abidinI citizens and just judges see to 1t tha other murderers go not unwhipped O justice hereafter" This is a noble an, brave sentiment in the mouth of a gov ernor of a southern state. It signlfe, progress in the way from barbarism t, civilization, from practical anarchy t, civil order
 He goes on to tell of mob in Pix county which took a negro away iron a constable-he knows not with what diff flculty-and lynched him. His offenc, was probably swearing contrary to one o his white neighbors in a justice trial or a proof of character. This was cold blooded murder, and without excuse al all. A human life for the whim of th1 poor old mans neighbor. Several persons accused of this crime were ar rested by a vigilant officer and som' court allowed them to go forth on bond They may come before court again Their victlm-innocent--is dead The mur derers go about. None of them will bt hanged as they should be-" Another cass grew out of "an assault to murder" h still another, 'in a hunt for rapist, tho murderous mob found the wrong man The man the outlaws (righteous wordD killed had never seen the rapists vic tim or heard of her.
 Probably if the Herald had set forth that such cruel and infamous things ai these were frequently done in the soutf without punishment, and had said that the communities capable of condoninG these horrible crimes were not to be trust. ed to treat the colored people fairly ir any matter involving their own interest," or prejudices, number of southern news papers would have declared that ths Herald was narrow, incompetent and malignant, incapable of understanding the true character of the southern people oI their zeal to be just and helpful to tho co1ored citizens living among them. We hardly speak on the subject without pro voking criticism. The story of conditions' in Alabama. as set forth by the governor of the state, is not our invention. His official message concludes in this part with congratulations to the legislature ''upon the improvement noted in the last few years in this matter of lynching. There have been fewer such crimes in Alabama in the past year than for several years before. We are making consider able progress"
 We think there must have been progress or Governor Jell1s would not have spoken in the tone that he has We are not saying that no southern governor has before publicly condemned lynching; but we do not recall any former instance where one has so freely exhibited the horrid injustice of the actual work of lynchers and branded them so distinctly as murderers and outlaws. He recognizes, as all must recognize, that the worst sig nihcance of such deeds is the extent to which public sentiment sustains them.

cntfnn Growinn in Asia.

The attempt of Russia to grow cot on very well. The crop of 1901 was light, and the crop of 1902 lighter still, and the farmers and merchants con- cerned in growing cotton in Turkestan are now in a demoralized condition. Neither made any money last year. The farmers saw that all profits were slipping out of their hands last year, and they proceeded to mix mud, stones, old tow and other rubbish with the cotton in the bales, knowing as they did that the product would sell because of the tariff on forelgn-grown cotton.
 The yield fell off last year 13 per cent, and the prospects for this year are not flattering. The Turkestan farmers have plenty of troubles of their own. They need agricultural banks, fertilizers, better seed, more irrigation, more instruction, better roads, and better markets for their products. Their wants are more nu- merous than their bales.
 The truth is, no part of the outside world is in position to grow much cotton, Egypt alone excepted. Ex- tensive and expensive irrigation may increase the Egyptian crop to 2,000,000 bales, but aside from that crop there sight India will do well to grow enough to supply her own mills, and the cotton crops of other countries are insignificant.

NAME THE FARMI

From the Boston Transcript.
 If you have a farm name 1t. That's the latest suggestion travelling about in tho rural districts. and 1t deserves to be acted upon at once and with judg- nent When you come to think of 1t 1t seems rather strange that so few farms throughout New England have a name. Most of those so honored are the property of persons who live elsewhere the. most of the year and patronize the farm only two or three months in the hot weather. But farmers, real farmers, have never got into the way of labelling their farms, and though, of course, in the farming districts everyone knows where everyone else lives, 1t certainly does lend a dignity and sort of beauty to a country side # every house is individualized by an appellation well chosen. Naturally some peculiarity of the farm should be em- bodied in its name, and there are pecu- liarities and to spare In every New Eng land farm. These may not be patent to the principal owner, but the sons or daughters who Ego away to school' will discern them on the first trip home. and they might be trusted to select the term.
