STEALING.

There is no honesty. said Vice Chan cellor Pitney from a New Jersey bench to New Jersey lawyers the other day, Sin a stock issue of s1,OOO,OOO on 25 or 30 per cent. basis, and the forcing out of the holders of the common stock to the preferment of those holding preferred stock. That sort of practice is a fraud on the people who invest their money, and it is thievery to do it''
 r. that mild kind of conveying is stealing, what on earth are some of the performances which it is now seen that certain great and good Wall street men have been engaged in? Perhaps by and by these men will be called by their right names. They are not admired and respected as they were. and while some of them continue to be rich they are not posing as benefactors of the human race. and Christian examples for the young. It is their time for disappear ing from the public gaze. Their vic- tims are the conspicuous ones now.

DEPRESSING, IF7RUE.

Sanford Bell, professor of pedagogy in Mt Holyoke college, has made an in- teresting inquiry concerning the influ- ence of men and women teachers on their pupils. He has, among other facts, gathered the testimony of 54S men and 4SS women concerning the teacher who did them the most good These persons received their schooling in a section of the Middle West between the years 1s7O-1S96, the general distribution of teachers in that locality at that time being approximately forty-one men to fifty-nine women, and all the men and all but two of the women had had teachers of both sexes, though on the whole they had come under the inf1u- ence of more women teachers than men teachers, and hence the former had more opportunities of doing good. In spite of this fact S1 per cent. of the men and 50 per cent. of the women testified in favor of the men teachers The in- 1uences named, says Professor Bell, ''are such. as the moral uplift and in- spiration, the stimulus to the intellect ual awakening and, the spur to scholar ship, help in getting a clutch upon the great vital issues of life, encoura cement at crises, sympathy when things seem- ed crushing, self-reliance, hints in so- cial graces, etc." Among the men who testified women teachers had led in none of these influences, while among the women they had led only in per- sonal kindness, self-reliance and social help.
 This is depressing if true. But can it be true, when women are saying and making themselves believe that a man is but "a poor critter" compared with a woman, the noblest work of God?

NEBRASKA w4Nrs somn TOO.

New Jerseys success in, making money out of the wicked trusts has en- couraged other States to take hack at them. Nebraska is the latest. It has new law requiring all foreign cor porations doing business in the State to incorporate again under the laws of that State and pay fee gauged to the amount of the capital stock. Thus the Standard Oil company would be re- quired, if the law holds good, to pay s3000O into the Nebraska State treas ury or cease from doing business there, by which is meant apparently that it would have to close up it's sales agen- cies, etc. It is calculated that in this way Nebraska can make the New Jer- sey trusts as profitable to itself as they are to the New Jersey treasury.
 Nebraska's law is not going to be tamely submitted to by the octopi. There is already case in court to test it, and if it is found to be unconstitu- tional Nebraska wont get the $2, 1000, 900 she has had her eye on.

since the organization Of the club, the
 ''eaddies, or little boys who carry their
 all-important sticks over the links, have
 been white. These little chaps have
 trudged faithfully over hill and dale,
 day in and day out, ever ready at the
 beck or call of the enthusiastic and tire
 less golfers. But a short time ago
 trouble arose. An instructor in the
 noble game of golf, who was supposed
 to have the intricacies of the cult at his fingers ends, arrived from the North.
 His mission was to teach the Roanoke players the very newest modes of''put- ting" etc., etc. On arriving, his eagle
 eye scanned the players and their at-
 tendant." He was not satisfied, some thing was wrong. The white caddy boys were shockingly behind the times besides. they were inartistic. He issued his orders. The white boys, who had for months been earning a living for themselves or their kin, were sunmarily dismissed and little negro boys hired in their places. The decision was contrary to the wishes of many members Of the club. but despite this fact. was made effective. The white boy eaddles are d.sconsolate over the matter and have no very pleasant feel ing toward their successors. Some fif- teen or twenty boys are employed at times. Several members state that the reasons for dismissing the caddies were that they would not obey with the same alacrity as the colored boys. But there may be battle on the links in the near future.- Roanoke Va. Times. ..5...,, .ss+s5s

GREATEST ENEMY OF THE HU-
 MAN RACE.


 Thoughts most deadly instrument for marring human lives is fear It demor- alizes character, destroys ambition, in- duces or causes disease, paralyses hap piness in self and others and prevents achievement. It has not one redeeming quality. It is all evil Psychologists now we'll know that 1t impoverishes the blood by interfering with assimilation and cutting off nutrition. It lowers mental and physical vitality and weak ems every element of success It is fa- tai to the happiness of youth, and is the most terrible accompaniment of old age Buoyancy fees before its terrifying glance and cheerfulness cannot dwell in the same house with 1t.
 ''The most exaensive of all the morbid mental conditions which reflect them selves so disastrously on the human system is the state of fear" says Dr. William H. Holcomb. Tt has many degrees or gradations, from the state of extreme alarm, fright or terror, down to the slightest shade of apprehension of impending evil. But all along the line it is the same thing-a paralyzing im- pression upon the centers of life which can produce, through the agency of the nervous system, a vast variety of mor- bid symptoms in every tissue of the body"
 Fear is like carbonic acid gas pumped into one's atmosphere says Horace Fletcher; Tit causes mental, moral and spiritual asphyxiation and sometimes death--death to energy, death to tissue and death to all growth
 Yet from our birth we live in the presence and under the dominion of this demon. A child is cautioned a thou sand times a year to look out for this, and to look out for that; it may get poi soned, it may get bitten, it may get killed; something terrible may happen to it if it does not do so and so. Men and women cannot bear the sight of some harmless animal or insect be- cause, as children, they were told that it would hurt them. One of the cruelest things imaginable is to instill into a child's plastic mind the terrible image of fear. which, like the letters cut on a sapling, grows wider and deeper with age. The baleful shadows of such blasting and blighting pictures will hang over the whole life and shut out the bright joy of sun and happiness.-J. Lincoln Brooks in the August Success.

BlG BRANCHING our.

The interesting and important an- nouncement is made that James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern rail- road. will undertake the building of railroads in China. As an illustration of the fact that MT. Hill is likely to suc- ceed in this undertaking it is recalled that when he began the construction of the Great Northern railroad, paralleling the Northern Pacific. Mir. Morgan pro- nounced him crazy. The Northern Pa citic had been built with the aid of large government land grants and subsidies and three times went into the hands of receivers. Without any land grants or subsidies MT. Hill built the Great Northern system from St. Paul to the Pacific coast, and made 1t pay from the beginning. When MT. Morgan asked him how he could do this. he replied: By having an easier grade and building en- zines that will carry heavier loads than tllC ,ANOIluSIll IdClllC. Ou re crazy, said MT. Morgan. Not deterred by MT. Morgan's opinion, MT. Hill went ahead. According to his plans, the Great Northern was constructed, paid interest and dividends regularly on it's stocks and bonds. and now MT. Morgan re- spects him as much as he does anybody.
 Perhaps by and by the securities of the China railroads will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. They are not needed or wanted there just now, but the time may come when they would be more or less "digestible"
