determined TO rope the monster bird.
He rode to the opposite side of the
hill from which the blowout was To-

his horse he dashed over the hill and
almost onto the astonished bird. which
made all haste TO depart Mr. Fertig,
with unerring skin, cast his rope over
the head OF the eagle in front OF one
wing and behind the other Then
commenced the battle for supremacy.
The astonishcd and frightened bird
rose straight In the air, tugging at
the rope with wonderful strength, and
continued circllng round the horseman
until the latter. becoming tired of the
sport. succeeded in hauling him down
TO the ground. where he fought saw

quite a long time. until Fertig at last
succeeded in stunning him by kick

WHAT is WEALTH.
Health and Ability to Work Better
Than Money and Worry.

Than Money and Worry.
Does wealth consist in money, houses,
lands, bank stocks. railroad bonds, etc,
alone? We think not. The young man
starting in life with no money, but
with good digestion. good sleep, good
health and ability to work in some
profitable employment. has what the
aged capitalist Would he glad to ex-
change all his millions for.
What compensation is money for
sleepless nights and painful days or
the misconduct Of dissipated children?
Which brings the greater happiness,
the glitter. show. jealousies and falsity
of fashionable life or the heartfelt
friendships which prevail so largely
In the homes of the industrious poor?
In how many OF the palaces Of our mil
lionaires will you find greater happi-
ness in the parlor than in the kitchen?
How many millionaires will tell you
that they are happier now than when
starting in life without a dollar?
On the top of mountains we find
rocks and ice and snow. 1t is down in

fiLtSDuTB COMMERCIAL.
Those persons who imagined they
saw the end of this era of prosperity
foreshadowed in decreasing exports
last springwill have to guess again.
The movement during the closing
months of last year altered the rec
ord and put 1902 at the top of the
list of export years. The imports
were also very large, but the bal
ance continues in favor of the Unit
ed States. Along the same lines
are the reports of American Con-
suls abroad, which are being COM
piled for the annual government
publication, Commercial Rela-
tions.' Mr.. Emory, in charge of
the matter, says the reports are all
of one tenor, that American ex-
ports of manufactures will continue
to increase. The cause is not
wholly to be found in the cheapness
of American products, but more in
their excellence. American ma
chinery is superior in every re-
spect, and is especially popular on
account of it's lightness and the ad-
vantage of being readily able to
procure duplicate parts. Ameri-
can agricultural products are nee
essarily in demand abroad, so that,
as far as the export out look is con-
cerned, there is not a cloud on the
horizon.

The Office of a Teacher.

Some one has said that the APP
pointment of q school superinten-
dent may be of more consequence
to our nations power than the pro-
motion of a major general.
What can be OF more Importance
to civilization than the raising of
human values, the taking of crude,
ignorant Jumps of human clay, and
by years of patient fashioning and
intelligent training, developing
them into educated, cultured, and
strong men?
We think it is a wonderful thing
for sculptor to raise the value of
rough piece of marble or granite
from a few dollars to hundred
thousand dollars by calling out an
idea which would have slept in the
cold stone forever had not his genius
awakened it. But for a teachers
fashioning hand the value of the
human block of clay would have
been but half what it is.
1t is the Office of a teacher to
raise human values; to take the
low and elevate them; to train the
ignorant, and leave them intelli-
gent; to restrain the impetuous and
self-willed, and shape them into
self-controlled, polished, beautiful
characters. -"Success."
