HONOR FOR THE MULE.
Will Have Prominent Place In st.
Louis Fair Live Stock Exhibit.

Will Have Prominent Place In st.
Louis Fair Live Stock Exhibit.
The Missouri mule, the mule that
has helped to make Missouri famous,
will be honored at the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition, says a st. Louis dis
patch.
The long suffering, silent plodding,
inoffensive and slandered beast Is to
be given a place in the live stock dis
play at the worlds fair. His prowess
on the battlefield, as shown in the
Boer war, in the. peaceful Missouri
valley, on the plains Of the west, In
the marshes of the south, is to receive
recognition.
NJ w. Gentry Of the state commits
sion, consulted with F. D. Coburn, the
chief Of the live stock department OF
the fair. Mr.. Coburn agreed with Mr..
Gentry that the mule had earned a
place and it was decided that from
the $25O,0O0 set apart for live stock
liberal cash prizes and many OF them
should be given to be competed for by
representative mules.
mo need to make special effort to
get fine horses shown at the worlds
fair" said Mr.. Gentry, nor to get fine
cattle, sheep or swine. Just announce
the premium list and they will swarm
in.
Here is where the mule is handi-
capped. He is hybrid. He cannot
reproduce himself, and no matter
how fine the mule he cannot perpetu-
ate the breed. Each individual mule
stands on his own merits.
AT the Chicago exposition there
were only four mules shown. At the
1904 exposition mules will be number
ed by the hundreds. Colonel j. w.
Jones of Columbia, Mo-, secretary Of
the American Breeders association of
Jacks and Jennets, will work with the
live stock department, and the finest
collection Of mules the world has ever
seen will be the result.
THE mule helped to build the beau
tiful exposition and 1t Is only right
that he should come in for recognition
and be allowed to compete for hon.

COTTON ovERcoATS.
Mercerized Product to Be Used More

The telegraphic announcement the
present week that well-known New
England woolen mills are about to ex-
tend the use of mercerized cotton In
their manufactures will cause no sur
prise to those who have followed the
trend of affairs in wool and worsted
manufacture of late years, says the
Boston Transcript The use Of combed
and carded cotton yarns that have been
treated with caustic soda, which Is the
basic principle in mercerizing, or In

stitute for worsted in making the en-
tire fabric has grown apace the past
two years, and is evidently meeting
want that has been unsupplied hereto

Of Clay worsteds that were sent here
by the Bradford manufacturers, in
which there was no particle of wool,

staple cotton. so manipulated In the
weaving and finishing as to deceive
even the expert buyers.
Large numbers of lightweight over

from the material, and found ready

SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Two Experts Agree That It Is Nerve
and Courage.

Two Experts agree mar u - NerVe
and Courage.
Ex-President Cleveland, who has
achieved the capture Of some Of the
chief prizes Of life, said some time ago
that the principal requisites for sue
cess were courage, persistence and de-
termination. Senator Beveridge, whose
swift rise In politics has astonished the
old war horses, ranks the indispensable
qualities In this order:
First-Sincerity.
Second (and almost f1rst)-Courage.
Third--Reserve.
Fourth (and lowest)-Intellect.
Mr. Cleveland and Mr.. Beveridge
agree. it will be seen, upon the rather
surprising proposition that superior
mental ability is not very important
element in worldly success. Mr.. Cleve-
land does not seem to think 1t worth
taking into account at all, and Mr..
Beveridge puts it at the bottom Of the
list. It is so plentiful, he holds, that
you can get it in the market on easy
terms If you happen to be short Of 1t
yourself. And he quotes an illiterate
but intensely vital millionaire who ex-
planned how he had won his own sue
cess:
"Oh, by just having the nerve to de-
eide upon plan, and then by hiring
these brainy fellows to do my work.
can get the services Of the best law
yer in this city for a mere fragment
Of a crumb of what I realize from his
thought and industry. The secret Of
success? Why, sir, it Is will, that Is
all-will, nerve, sand"
OF course, 1t Is pleasant for man
% have his own brains; but the theory
advanced by the statesmen of New Jer-
sey and Indiana is comforting to the
average man. For everybody must get
along with the brain with which 1t
pleased Providence to endow him at
his birth, but courage, determination,
persistency, sincerity and reserve are
qualities that can be cultivated and
brought to robust maturity by exercise.

HONORS TO BOWEN.


This Country to BE Congratulated on
It's Minister'S Ability.
Brooklyn Times
1t must be rather disheartening to the
Emperor of Germany to reflect that all the
glory that has been won out of the Ven
ezuelan affair UP to date. and all that is
likely to be won, has come to the Ameri-
cans. President Roosevelts moderate and
dignified course has earned the applause
even of those Europeans most chary of
giving credit to the United States. while
~ Bowen, the American Minister to Ven
ezuela, receives universal commendation for
the successful efforts he has made to limit
the area of trouble and to restore peace.
Minister Bowen left Caracas yesterday for
Washington, where he will represent the
Venezuelan government in the peace nego-
tations, and when he left, not only was he
accompanied to the depot by President
Castro and his ministers as well as by a
large crowd of citizens, but he received an
address OF thanks from the British resi-
dents, whose interests he has safeguarded,
and was saluted by all the ships of the
blockading squadron. The American Min
lister deserves all the honors that can be
paid to him. He has worked constantly =
the interests OF peace, and he has COM
mended the American people to the favor
zuela. with results that are likely to prove
In the highest degree beneficial to the in
terests OF American trade In South Amer
lea.
This Venezuelan expedition has disap-
pointed all the expectations of the German
Emperor. His alliance with Great Britain
has not tended to bring the British and the
German peoples more closely together; on
the contrary, 1T has materially increased
the bitterness and unfriendliness of their
relations, for the action of the British gov
ernment in entering into such an alliance
has been fiercely resented by all classes in
Great Britain. 1t has not tended to weaken
the friendship existing between the British
and American peoples for ii has only made
the fact plainly apparent that Great Britain
IL the only European power that does not
look with jealousy and disfavor on Ameri-
can insistence the Monroe doctrine.
What glory there may me in the sinking OF
a few Venezuelan gunbOats belongs exclu-
Sively to Germany, but there not likely
to be many medals of honor struck in Ger
many to commemorate the exploit. Both
Germany and England are entitled to a
share in the ignominy of the transaction,
but the largest share belongs to Germany.
This country is to be heartily congratu-
lated upon the possession of men who ap-
pear to have the faculty of fitting to
nicely positions of Importance and trust in
the gift of the national government, that
when emergencies occur, the honor of the
diplomatic service is upheld and the policies
OF the government sustained. Minister
Bowen is one of the greatly increasing
number of strenuous young men that are
rapidly coming to the front nowadays,
headed by the wide-awake, progressive, en-
ergetic man in the White House. The coun-
try is filled with just such men, and that
we feel just pride in their work is not to
be wondered at. Bowen is but one man of
the group which is rapidly forging to the
front.

TYPHOID FEVER.
An Ounce of Prevention Goes a Long
Way with This Disease.
Golfers Weekly.


Typhoid fever, which is unfortunately
common at all times of the year, is unusual
ly prevalent at present in an unusually viru-
lent form. We present a few facts that
our readers ought to know about typhoid
fever. While not the most deadly of dis
eases, modern medical practice having re-
duced the percentage of mortality to about
per cent, 1T is extremely debilitating, and
often attended by very serious and lasting
complications 1t is a germ disease and
is communicable so far as we know in only
one way. The germ must be taken into
the system in food or drink. The germs
exist in drinking water. which has come in
contact with the sewage of communities or
in old wells that have been tainted by be-
ing too near dwellings. The poison is mti-
gated by various acids, but 1T is surely
killed by great heat. The best way to in
sure against the disease is to boil the
drinking water. Some people say that this
spols the flavor, but il requires a nice
palate and one skilled in tasting water to
detect the difference in flavor and bouquet
between boiled water and water that has
not been boiled. Milk and oysters are occa-
sonally sources of infection. Remember
that the germs must be eaten or drunk
and a person that drinks only water or
milk that has been boiled and refrains
from eating raw oysters or vegetables is
in about as much danger from typhoid as
he is from death by lightning. Immunity
from the disease even during epidemics de-
pends upon the exercise of a very small
degree of caution.

cases. Still. II is extraordinarily. nay.
startlingly. effieacious in ordinary bad cases
OF insomnia.
AS for the modus operandi, that Is an
other matter. II may be that the fatigue
of the optical muscles favors the assump-
tion on the part of the recalcitrant eye
ball of that position which IL should oc-
cupy during sleep, and so removes one OF
the causes of wakefulness; and IL may
well be that the mental effort requisite for
the maintenance of the eye in fatiguing
position Is also conducive to the desired re-
suit do not know. and it is not my busi-
ness to explain. The analogy OF the plan
with one OF the processes which is COM
monty employed to produce the hypnotic
condition may be remarked / should add,
therefore, that the sleep produced by my
and is perfectly natural and refreshing.

THE MAINE ICE INDUSTRY.

The Conditions Right for a Busy Winter,
The ice shipping season OF the Amerl-
can Ice Co. in Maine is drawing to a
close. Although this has been one of
the coolest seasons in the history OF the
business the company has shipped be-
tween 800, 900 and 100000 tons from the
State. They have but one vessel load
ing now. That one is at the Smithtown
houses on the Kennebec.
The houses at Bangor, Wiscasset and
Boothbay, and the Old Orchard, Ran
dolph, Cedar Grove, Underwood, Swan
Island and Deering houses Oh the Ken
nebec, have been cleaned out.
Part of the ice in the SmlthtoWu
house, about all in the Independent,
three -fourths in the Berry, three
fourths in the South Gardiner, two
thirds in the Haynes x De Witt and
two-thirds in the Modoc has been ship
ped. There is about 100000 tons re-
naming unshipped on the river. Ii the
closing of the season should be warm
considerable of this may go out.
The prospect of cutting good guam
tity of ice by the company this winter
looks favorable, as for the first time
since 1890 there will be no ice left over
on the Hudson. The houses will all be
placed in condition and the company
will be in readiness for harvesting when
the ice freezes.

SOME ANECDOTES OF BEECHER.

One April 1st Mr.. Beecher found in
his morning mail letter containing
only the words April Fool. We'll,

letter where man forgot TO sign his
name: this is the first time ever knew
of "A writer signing his name and for
getting to write letter
After | took the editorship of the
Christian Mon | urged Mr.. Beecher
to give his views on public questions
through It's columns. "AS it is now"
| said. ANY interviewer who comes to
you gets column; and the public is as
apt to get your views in any other pa

YES. he said. Il am like the town
pump; any one who will come and
work the handle can carry off pail of
water
ON one occasion | argued for Calvin
ism that it had produced splendid char
acters.
Yes" Mr. Beeeher replied, calvin
ism makes few good men and destroys
mediocre men. 1t is like a churn; it
makes good butter, but it throws away
a lot OF buttermilk."
Charles Sumner in the Senate and
Thaddeus Stevens in the House were
pressing the reconstruction measures
for forcing universal suffrage in the
South. In conversation with me Mr..
Beecher thus diagnosed the situation.
"The radicals are trying to drive the
wedge into the log butt end foremost;
they will only split their BEETLE They
did: they solidified the South and divided
the Republican party. If he had been
preaching on reconstruction the figure
would have flashed On him then, and
he would have given it to his congrega-
ton from the pulpit
Mr.. Beecher was denounclng the IN
consistency of the church members;
stopped; imagined an interlocutor call
ing him to account for exposing the
sins Of church members before the
world; and thus replied: "Do you not
suppose the world knows them better
than do? The world sees this church
member in Wall Street, as greedy, as
rapacious, as eager, as unscrupulous as
his companions. He says to himself,
is that Christianity? | will GO to
church next Sunday and see what The
minister says about this. He goes,
and what is the minister saylng?' In
stantly Mr.. Beecher folded his arms
upon his breast, held an imaginary cat
purring comfortably there, as he
stroked it with the other hand, and con-
tinued: '"The minister is saying, Poor
Pussy, Poor Pussy, Poor Pussy" Mr..
Beecher made his congregation laugh;
not of set purpose and never for the
sake of the laugh, but because he him.
