The World a Looking Glass.

Somewhere in a book the other day
 came upon this striking sentence: If
 I trust, I am trusted: if l suspect, I
 am suspected; if I love. I am loved; if
 I hate. I am despised." I read it over again and again. Is it true? Ask | yourself and let your own experience answer. Do not take the exceptional circumstances or events to decide by. Just look back on your life, as whole, and see if the man who wrote this
 knows whereof he speaks. One thing | is very certain-at least l have seldom heard it disputed by sane. reasona ble
 men or women, and that is that life is what we ourselves make it. It might be likened to a block of marble. given to our Keeping, for us to work upon. l One is content simply to square the sides and let his serve no higher pur- pose than a horse block. Another
 chisels out an Apollo or a Venus, which
 shall stand through the ages.
 History has proved beyond the least doubt that all men are born equal. though they be not born free. A mans
 birth may mean a great deal in his childhood, but it counts for precious | little after that. Somehow it seems to
 be the divine plan that the high places should be filled by those who rise to themi And it is not unreasonable to
 draw this a notch further The high
 est places seem most often gained by
 those who have the longest way to rise. | But to get back in the path where we started-the belief that the world is a
 sort of looking glass which gives back just what it gets. Have you noticed

 the reason for it? Maybe it's because
 every one felt good. and carried about
 a little of the Yuletide spirit even, into ! the world of business. It doesn't ap- pear easy to make it out in any other
 way. Why is it that each of us smiles whenever a little child looks our way After all, what first makes us trust or love or suspect? Is it not an exhibition
 of the same quality on the part of an- | other? The rule works both ways

A Pacific Wireless Project.

A Los Angeles concern known as the Pacific Wireless Telephone and Tele- graph company announces it's inten- tion to start the erection next month of a large station at San Francisco. to establish wireless transoceanic com munication with Honolulu and the Alaskan coast. The company has been operating by Marconi through the past summer between Avalon, Catalina island, and San Pedro. The measure of its success has always been a mat ter of doubt.
 It is unlikely that any considerable amount of capital will be expended in wireless telegraphic experiments on this coast until the value and reliability of this method of transmitting mes sages are positively determined. Mar conf claims to have attained unparal- leled success in this field of telegraphic discovery. But it still remains to be proved that his method of wireless transmission can be made a commer- cial success. He is sanguine but his system, has evidently not yet reached a state of perfection. although he has un- doubtedly made greater progress in wireless telegraphy than any other electrician who has taken up the sub ject.
 Cable transmission has been in per feet working order for over forty years. Whether a wireless system can be

LITERARY NOTES

A LIBRARY FOR FOUR DOLLARS.
 Four dollars is a small sum with which to supply family for year the best pictures and literature: "The high-water mark of color reproduce tion." as Howard Pyle characterizes the exquisite color reproductions of his paintings in the December Century; history. current topics of vital interest, the best verse and fiction of the day.
 The most striking successes of the Century Magazine have been made in the field of history. witness the famous Century War Papers. Nicolay and Hays Life of Lincoln. etc.: and it is to return to the field of historical liter ature this year. A striking series of illustrated articles on the early cam paigns of the revolution, written by Professor Justin Harvey Smith of Dartmouth college, will be one of the features, especially covering the pie turesque march of Arnold through the Maine woods. Important articles on the trusts" will be printed from time to time-not attacking or defending. but simply telling the inside history of the great trusts and how they are con- ducted
 Richard Whiteing, the author of that popular book, No. , John Street" is to write one of the serials for the Cen tury in 1903. "The Yellow Van," the story of an American schoolma am who marries an English duke Another ser ial, by the author of Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch." the most popular book of the year. will begin to appear in the December Century. Papers by "Mr. Dooley," giving his unique "opin- ions" on iiterature: new light on the lives of Edgar Allan Poe and Sir Wal ter Scott; richly illustrated articles on the great exchanges of the world and the best short stories that can be pro- cured from the leading writers,-all of these are coming in the Century. Beau tiful pictures in color will appear from time to time
 The pictures are richly worth fram- ing and a place in every home. The reading means wide information. cu1- ture, and rich intellectual pleasure from month to month. The bound vol umes should have a permanent place in every library. Big returns, all this, on the small investment of four dol lars.

Hope for Spain.

Hope for Spain.
 One of the most hopeful circum- stances bearing upon the future of Spain which the public press has made known since the close of the Spanish American war is the one of the ap- | pointment of Admiral Cervera as chief of staff Of the Spanish navy.
 Cervera has endeared himself great | ly to the American people. They have become familiar with the conditions and circumstances under which he was forced by the national authority to lead his ill-fated squadron across the wat CTS of the Atlantic. His demeanor in defeat is recognized among all men as | that of a true hero. He pursued the orders of his superiors even to his evacuation of the port Of Santiago against his own settled conviction and after he had laid before his superiors the inevitable consequences of his obedience of such orders.
 | At no time was Cervera under any misapprehension of the inferiority of the Spanish navy or of the relative in- feriority of the squadron which he commanded. vessel to vessel. to the American ships which he must inevit- ably encounter. He knew of the rot tenness of the Spanish naval adminis- tration, but being in the service there was no recourse for an honorable man | like him but to go wherever his in structions led him.
 | With such a man as Cervera at the head oi the Spanish navy that arm of the national government will not be made q mere withered member. The reforms which are necessary to place ! it on a footing at all adequate to the national interests will be enforced by him or 1t is safe to assume he will not continue in the post to which he has been appointed. With the other de- partments of the national government in the hands of men capable, as con scientious and as thoroughly allied to | the requirements to national superm- acy, there would not be much doubt of the ultimate success of the young Spanish ruler to place his nation on a plane which would in time enable it to | recover at least some of its lost his torical prestige.-St. Paul Globe.

As it's last meeting the city council was so busily employed in considera- tion of weightier matters that there was no time to consider the question of surfacing the business streets with granite. And why should the council hurry?

Having completed five semi-anual volumes in its first form, the Interna- tional Monthly. edited by Mir. Freder- ick A. Richardson, now becomes The International Quarterly. Attractive as was the early form of this review, it seems to us that the new one is in bet ter accord with the serious character of the articles that Mir. Richardson With the aid of his advisory board, has been securing from the very start of his enterprise. More clearly than ever before, this periodical asserts it's po- sition as the most important organ of contemporary thought that We new have. and becomes more than ever in dispensable to the reader of cultivated interests.-The Dial, Oct. 1.

CATTLE-Although cattle receipts were
fairly liberal this morning, there were none
too many to meet the requirements of the
local demand. Packers were all out early
and an active and fully steady market
was experienced from start to finish.
The market on beef steers opened In good
season. and buyers were, bidding steady to
strong prices. The handy weight cattle
that were well finished ana of good quality
commanded stronger prices without mpch
difficulty. The p~laineGattle and those that
were only part fat sold in just about yes
terday's notches, but stln trading was ac-
tive on all kinds, so that although the big
end of the receipts was made up OF steers
an early clearance was made.
The COW market was also active and fully
steady, so far as the better grades were
concerned. Gamers and the common kinds
of cutters were rather slow sale, and
brought rather uneven prices, the same as
has been the case for some time past. Any
thing at all desirable, though, changed
hands very freely and the prices paid were
fully as good as those In force yesterday:
Bulls. veal calves and stays also SOLD
readily at prices that showed no quotaole
There were comparatively few stockers
and feeders in sight this 1norning, and as
