An Eastern man, who has never been
on terms of familiarity with any great
amount of money, has visited the fash
| ionable stores where wealth assemblies,
witnessed both buying and paying, and
| declares that the country is going to
the dogs; that the people are spend
thrlfts, and that home life in New
York is on such scale of magnifcence
that ruin must come some day. A fur
coat was sold for $4,000. A man paid
$500 for basket Of roses. A set Of
undergarments for a woman were
eagerly purchased for $2,500, and
baby's bib was marked $50. Those
are scattered samples. The complete
list OF costly things to eat, wear and
admire is almost endless. 1t is possi-
BILE to stand In more than one .Ameri-
can store and spend a million dollars
for things that are on the shelves and
In the cases awaiting purchasers.
Where is the harm or the dahger2 The
people buy things more expensive than
their means warrant. They did the
same In the rag-carpet and log-csbin
days. 1t Is natural to enjoy luxury
1t Is the common lot to enjoy COM
fort. Because all of us cannot have
silk, shall all of us wear cotton? The
rich goods in the stores are a sign
of prosperity. They are there in in
creasing amount, because more and
more people can afford to buy them
There Is hardly a man, no matter how
humble his position, who would be sat
isfied with the luxuries that were the
privilege of his ancestors century
ago. Another thing: Good goods mean
good wages. You may see priceless
diamond in store window, or a $4,000
lace dress, or cunningly-wrought gold
ornaments, worth kings ransom.
Those things We're not formed In 4
sweatshop. They are the product of
skilled labor, of artists in the various
lines. They are expensive, because
only those who are quick with their
brains and fingers can do the work
that makes up a large portion Of the
cost Of every article. Don't rage at the
people who are spending their money.
They are only passing it on. 1t isn't
idle. 1t reaches the plain people. 1t
turns over and over. The rich who
spend their money are, uneonsciously,
perhaps, public beneractors, and the
more costly things they buy the greater
the prosperity among the high order of
skilled toilers.

Tell it not to Roosevelt. A woman
of Michigan who is authority on child
study is opposed to large families be-
cause Of the danger of degeneracy to
the children. Commenting on the case
of the 11-year-old child at Los An
geles who tried to kill her guardian MS,
foster parents and five guests by put
ting poison in their food in order that
she might enjoy their agonies, she
says: "The fact that the child was
one of family of fifteen children may
have been the explanation Of her state.
The mothers vitality must have been
so exhausted that the girl lacked some
thing In mind or body. When more
than seven children are born in fam
lily, all but the first six are apt to be
stupid or frail." Certain scientists sup
port this view. If there Is physical
lack in the latter births there will, Of
course, be mental or moral lack. The
moral sense of the family may have
run out" Sometimes, say these sci
entists, the spiritual and mental traits
OF a large family are exhausted, and
the result is degenerate-an idiot or
criminal. Ingenious theory. Only it
isn't true. A large percentage of idiots
are first-born. Some of the best and
greatest men Of history have been the
youngest sons Of large families. 1t all
depends on the breed. If the breed is
bad, the less children the better. If
the breed is good, there cannot be too
many.

CHIEF p. M. ARTHUR.

Engineers and His Career.

engineers ana His Career.
7. Nj. Arthur, grand chief engineer
or the brotherhood of Locomotive En-
glneers, dropped dead while speaking
at the banquet at the close of the an
nual union convention of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers at Win
nipeg, Man.
Mr.. Arthur had just arisen to re-
spond to a toast, opening with: 1T
may be my parting words to many Of
you,' when he fell backward and ex-
pired few minutes afterward.
Although born In Scotland ~ years
ago, Z. NJ. Arthur was In spirit an
American, for he reached the United
States while still a lad and was
brought up amidst American environ
ments. He went to work in the shops
or the New York and Harlem Rail-
road Company as blacksmhh's help
er, ana while there became interested
IN machinery and ultimately learned
that trade.
lie also made his start as an engi-
neer in the same shop, beginning as an
engineers wiper; and served his entire
apprenticeship to the end of manning a
throttle himself on the New York Cen
tral Railroad.
When, in 1863, that great single Ia
Dor power, the Brotherhood of Locomo.
tive Engineers, was formed, he was
one of the foremost and most radical
leaders in the movement. Afterward
he did much toward making it what it
now Is, the strongest and most con.
servative organization in the world. for
when clothed with power, he recog-
nized the fact that more could be ac-
complished by going slow than by ag-
gressiveness.
AS reward for these labors and to
show their faith in his judgment, and
as tribute to his executive powers,
the members of the brotherhood made
him their unanimous choice for the DO.
sition of grand master OF the order.
when, in 1873, that office was made va
cant by the death of Grand Chief
Blanchard.
Not only was Mr.. Arthur looked I'D
to and respected by the men among
whom he was the acknowledged lead
er, but he enjoyed the trust and conf

From the little bats which huddle

so many animals fall asleep and so
many birds fly away from our Barme-

wood lice, gnats, horsefies, slugs,
beetles, larvae, worms and snalls-
all these are seldom visible in winter
months; while the famine Of insect life
In the fresh water of our ponds Is de-
ducible from the fact that efts creep
ashore to wriggle asleep in the cracks

famished months, and we are told that
