One gentleman thus explains the
plan: 1--WE will accept the provisions
of the assembly bill just as they s and,
and have II 40 into force at once SO

nre concerned and, In the general
election of 1904, allow the people Of
the state by vote to decide whether
they VIII have 1t apply thereafter to
Legislators, state officers, congressman
and senator's 1t Will, we believe, be
considered fair compromise. Not the
most enthusiastic advocate of primary
election reform has believed the senate
would accept the assembly bill just as
1t is; but the compromise Contrm-
plated comes pretty close TO such ac-

John Graham on BOOSTERS.

Pve heard a good deal in my time
about the foolishness of hens, but
when it comes to right down plumb
foolishness give me a rooster every
time. He's always strutting and
stretching and growing and Dragging
about things with which he had moth
ing to do. When the sun rises you'd
think that he was making all the
light, instead of all the noise; when
the farmers wife throws the scraps
in the henyard he crows as if he was
the provider for the whole farmyard
and was asking a blessing on the
food; when he meets another rooster
he crows and when the other rooster
ticks him he crows, and so he keeps
it up straight through the day. He
even wakes up during the night and
crows a little on general principles.
But when you hear from a hen, she's
laid an egg, and she don't make a
great deal of noise about it, either

"It was settled some time ago that
he was to marry my daughter" said
the father of a girl of the period,
''but it yet remained for the young
man to get my consent. It was mere
ly a formality, however, as I had cut
no figure whatever during the cam
paign, my girl arranging matters to
suit herself without consulting me or
my wishes.
"Now, I remembered with what
trepidation I had approached my
wife's father when I asked him for
her hand, and I made up my mind
that when that young man showed
up to ask me for my daughters hand

THE SON OF NAPOLEON.

How the World Rejoiced at the Birth of
a Child Who, Twenty-0ne Years
Later, Went Down to His Grave Un-
wept, UnhOnOred and Unsung.
There is probably but a single in
stance in which the whole civilized
world, and most of the round globe
besides, has anxiously regarded its
fortunes as dependent on the birth
of a child. Yet this, in plain prose,
was virtually the case on March 20,
1911.
If Napoleon Bonaparte should
found a dynasty it would be long ere
things would again be as they had
been only a short time ago, and as
the vast majority of Europeans de-
sired them to be once more. As the
fateful moment drew near, nations
literally stood expectant; when it
passed, the great arms of the soma
phores began to wave and circle
along all the highways of Europe,
telegraphing to hamlet, village, town
and city the news which seemed to
determine the fate of peoples and
municipalities.
As for the great metropolitan city
of Paris, the suspense of it's popu-
lace was breathless it appeared as if
all the men and women within the
walls were gathered in one dense
mass about the palace of the Tuiler-
les. After what seemed interminable
waiting, cannon began to boom from
the terrace of the Invalides; the in
tervals were ages, but the patient
people counted, and as the twenty
second blank shot rang out across
the distance, one mighty cheer broke
forth from the assembled masses as
if to drown the artillery. 1t was the
preconcerted signal to announce the
birth of a boy.
Within the palace the suspense
had been terrible. The mothers life
had hung in the balance, and the
newborn child gave no signs of life.
For v minutes the imperial baby
lay in suspended animation. But at
last he gave a wall, and as he did so
he was hailed: "King of Rome!
Grand Eagle of the Legion of Hon
orI Grand Cross of the Iron Crown!
Knight of the Golden Fleece!"
These were but his titles of honor;
his place was to be that of a third
C~harlemagne, the successor of his
sire, who was posing as the second,
the Emperor of the West, holding
sway over not merely Germa<y and
Italy, but all lands westward to the
Atlantic, unless indeed the islands
of Great Britain should elude his
sovereignty for an hour.-Prof. VIM.

THE HOME CIRCLE
Hamlet's ~Solloquy.*

Hamlet's SolilOquy.*
To be, or not to be-that is the ques-
tom
Whether tits nobler in the mind to
suffer
The sings and arrows of outrageous
fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of
troubles,
And, by opposing, end them? To die
to sleep
No more; and, by a sleep, to say we
end
The heartache, and the thousand nat
ural shocks
That flesh is heir to-'tis a consum-
nation
Devoutly to be wished. To die-to
To sleep! perchance to dream; ay,
there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what
dreams may come,
When we have shuf1ed off this NOR
tai coil,
Must give us pause; there's the re-
spect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and
scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud
mans contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the laws
delay,
The insOlence of Office, and the
spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy
takes,
When he himself might his quietus
make
With a bare bodkin9 Who would
tardels bear,
To Crunt and sweat under a weary
life,
But that the dread of something af-
ter death
That undiscovered country, from
whose bourn
No traveller returns-puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills
we have
Than fly to others that we know not
of?
Thus conscience does make towards
of US all;
And thus the native hue of resolu-
ton
Is sicklied DER with the pale cast of
thought;
And enterprises of great pith and
moment,
With this regard, their currents turn
away,
And lose the name of action.

Hamlet"

Rooseyelt,s success Recipe.

on "How to Get On in Life" to a
young law student, which is given by
the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser.
This is what the strenuous Roose-
welt advised the wavering young law
yer to do: IF I were you I would
hang out my single and get a case.
I don't care how you get it. Your
own wits ought to find one case at
least which no other lawyer has. I
wouldn't take a case hat was right
up in the regular courts and which
possessed some merit. I wouldn't
take it for nothing either, o. IN a
contingency. I would have a decent
fee attached to it. In other words,
I would have as many respectable
features attached to the case as pos
sible under the circumstances.
Having got that case" continued
Roosevelt, II would try it as if it
we're the last case I ever expected to
have or which would ever be in the
court. I would not make a nuisance
of myself-you know enough to
avoid that, but you can be SO insist
ent that you will have the respect of
every one who, in any way, comes
into connection with the trial. Put
all of yourself in the case. Get every
side of it, and, above all things, ham
mer it into your client by the force
of your actions that your integrity is
above reproach.
"When you get done with that case
you will have a reputation that many
lawyers devote years in other WAYS
trying to obtain. You will find that
a second case is certain to come to
you, whether you lose or win the first
one.
II would treat the second case" he
continued, Gust as [ did the first
one. Live and act as if there was
never such a case in existence before,
and master it just as you are requir-
ed to master your studies at the law
school. If you find yourself weak
ening at all, use the spur and the
whip until you have created an
thusiasm in your work that imparts
itself to client, court and jury and
results in your victory"
The young law students timidity
began to diminish from that moment.
He had absorbed some of Roosevelt's
courage and indomitable energy.
But he wanted more. GLOW about
the third case?" he asked.
Go at it the same way" was the
reply. "And for that matter, as
your patronage increases give the
same treatment to all your cases.
You will create a confidence in your
self that will insure you a constant
practice, and your clients, once Sc
cured, will never leave you.
Enthusiasm in work is the best
antidote for no patronage that I
know of for any professional man.
In fact, the rule applies to every
walk of life. If your heart is in
what you have to do no matter how
