Miss Navonne Cushman, of New Ro-
cheIle, New York, was surprised to
learn the other day that she was heir"
ess to half the estate Of an eccentric
uncle who died worth a million. Miss
Cushman has been instructor Of math-
ematics in the New Rochelle high
school for five years. When she learn
ed Of her good fortune she made up
her mind not to resign her position. So
that when the superintendent congrat-
ulated Miss Cushman and asked for
time to select her successor, the teach
er said: "Why, can't l teach any
longer?" The teacher could find no
reason in the acquisition Of a half
million dollars for the resignation Of
labor In which she found great pleas
ure. Wise Miss Cushman. She knew
money could not take the place of the
law of being. The secret Of happiness
Is congenial work. In this world one
must work out his happiness. 1t can
not be idled out, or bought out or coax
ed out, simply because we are not built
that way. Success-real success-suc-
cessful ones-is your JOY in your work.
And success Is pleasure, happiness.
You can't get away from the law Of
compensation which Emerson laid
down so we'll: "What you will have,
quoth God-pay the price" But If I
had that half million l would not teach
school," No? But you would do
something in which you could find
real satisfaction. Else you would fail
of either success or pleasure. Else
you would be discontinued, miserable.
That which the old theologians thought
to be the primeval curse-labor-is in
reality the primeval blessing.

Handwriting, like spelling, is In dam
ger OF becoming lost art. Not SO
very many generations back, hand
writing was considered an important
accomplishment, In which it's FORUM
ate Dossessor took great pride. Abilt-
ty to write marked one as person OF
extraordinary attainments. But times
have greatly changed. The common
schools have made the ability to write
common, and at the same time the
typewriter has made the practice OF
writing by hand uncommon. The bust
ness man, when he writes at all, usu-
ally scribbles, and he writes 80 sell
dom, except to sign his name, that hi
gets out Of practice. His time Is too
valuable for writing by hand when 1t
can be done so much more quickly and
better by a stenographer. With the
good, old-fashioned, elegant handwrit-
ing have passed away, too, the good,
old-fashioned sociable letters of a for
mer generation. We scribble brief
notes, these days. The newspaper,
telephone, telegraph and fast mail
have made the old, long letters un-
necessary. A letter, to-day, Is no longer
a summary of the family and neigh
borhood news. 1t Is written to say
some specific thing. and when that Is
said it ends. It Is a pity that letter
writing and even handwriting itself
are falling into desuetude. There is
nothing helps one to draw himself to-
gether better than the writing Of let
ter to an old friends. 1t brings his
past before him In panorama and
gives him a correct perspective Of the
present, better than anything else can
do. Writing Is not only an accomplish
ment, it should be" an elegant accom-
plishment.

GEORGE wYNDHAM. Is not unlikely that
within a half dozen years, possibly
fewer, this young man. still on the
sunny side of forty, may fill the post
held in the past by such forceful char
acters as Pitts, father and son, Pal
merston. Disraeli and Gladstone.
Mr.. Wyndham is a man of versatile
brilliancy. He is a great-grandson of
that Irish rebel, Lord Edward Fitz-
gerald, who sacrificed his life toward
the end of the eighteenth century for
the Irish cause. Lord Edward took
part in the American war of indenen-
dence, fighting, of course, on the Eng
lish side, for he was a British soldier
Later In France he espoused the cause
of the French revolution and publicly
renowned his title of nobility. While
in Paris he, married PAMELA, daughter
of the Duke of Orleans and half-sis+ar
to King Louis Philippe of France, and
on returning to Ireland enterd heart
and soul into the Irish revolutionary
movement, becoming one Of the leaders
of the United lrishmen. BETRAYED into
the hands of the police, he was arrest
ed after desperate struggle, and died
subsequently in prison from his in
juries.
Lord and Lady Fitzgerald had only
one child, Pamela, who married Gen.
Sir Guy Campbell, and their daugh-
ter Madeline, is the mother of Seere-
tary Wyndham.

handsomest man in Parliament, began

Uncle Ned,

Uncle Ned.
There was an old darkey and his name
was Uncle Ned,
And he died long ago, long ago!
He had no wool on the top of his head,
In the place where the wool ought to
grow.
Then lay down the shovel and the hoe,
Hang up the fiddle and the bow!
For there's no more work for poor old
Ned;
He's gone where the good darkies go.
His fingers were long as the cane in the
brake,
And he had no eyes for to see!
And he had no teeth for to eat the hoe
cake,
So he had to let the hoe cake be.
Then lay down the shovel, etc.
One cold, frosty morning, old Ned died
Massa's tears they fell like the rain;
For he knew when Ned was laid in the
ground,
He'd never see his like again.
Then lay down the shovel, etc.

Nothing has done more to stimulate
emigration from Great Britain to the
farm lands of the Canadian Northwest
than the reports OF the American emil
grafton into the same region. The Ca
madam emigration agents In England
have used the fact with great effect,
saying to the lethargic countrymen of
the English counties that the Yankees
''know good thing" This Is adver-
fisement enough and the stream from
Liverpool this year Is estimated at no
less than 10000 souls. South Africa,
meanwhile, Is being ignored sby the
British immigrant. and the expecta.
tions so sedulously famed during the
Boer war are being completely disap.
pointed. No one perceives as yet that
rush OF British settlers to South Africa
which was to inundate the Boer pop,
nlation and influence.

The visit OF Mr.. Soper to the nation.
al capital is expected to be followed
by some interesting developments.
For some time there have been grave

in the territory affairs under the juris-
diction OF both the department of jus.
tice and the interior department
Inspectors have frequently visited
the territory and nothing la their re-
ports indicate anything like The condi.
tion recently discovered.
Oficials OF both departments have
frequently been in Washington, AMI
the government officials believed they
were keeping in close touch with ey
erything done in the territory.
Recently, II appears that some real
startling discoveries have been made,
indicating widespread corruption. The
officials referred TO say that there
have been some designations, which
have been attributed to fear Of dis
closures. More designations woui
have been forthcoming II the officers
Of the government in Washington
were willing to accept them.
II IS stated that when tho investi

Both the secretary of the interior and
the attorney general are determined
that whatever Irregularities or dis.
