Gems Of 6ViSdon1
From Emerson

Beware when the great God lets
loose thinker ON this planet Then
all things are at risk. It is as when a
contlagra ton has broken out in a great
city and no man knows what is safe
or where it. will end. There is not a
piece Of science but it's flank may be
turned tomorrow; there is not any lit
erary reputation, not the so called eter-
nal names of fame. that may not be re-
viled and condemned. The very hopes
Of man, the thoughts Of his heart, the
religion of nations, the manners and
morals of mankind, are all at the
mercy of new generalization, Gen
eradication is always a new. influx of
the divinity into the mind; hence the
thrill that attends it.
1t takes a good deal Of time to eat or
to sleep or to earn: hundred dollars
and very little time to entertain a
hope and an insight which become the
light of our life, -:
There is somewhat more blessed and
great lin: .hearing than in speaking.
Happy is the hearing man, unhappy
the speaking man.. AS long, as, hear
truth am bathed by a beautiful ele-
ment and am, not conscious of any linn
its to my nature. T., The suggestions are
thousandf0ld that ! hear and see. The
waters OF the great deep have ingress
and egress to the SOUL But if 1 speak
/ define, I confine and am less.

Thinks All Are Too Well Paid.

Among officeholders in Washington
Comptroller Tracewell of the treasury
is regarded as most extraordinary
person. Mr.. Tracewell's salary is So
500, and he thinks he is overpaid..
Worse than entertaining such heter-
odox opinion, however, is the fact that
he has not hesitated to give expires.
sion thereto. During the recent ses-
sion of congress he was giving sub
committee some information regard
ing his Office. The chairman compli.
mented him by saying: You are the
first man government officer who has
appeared before us who did not ask
for an increase of salary Tracewell
replied bluntly: I'm getting blank
sight too much now" In private con-
versation later he said: considering
the hours of their labor and their re-
sponsibilities government employees
are paid more than any other class OF
men in the world" All of which is
regarded in bureaucratic circles as
little short of revolutionary.

Jenkins received a letter OF complaint

"Does any one still cling to the idea

shafts to the depth of the ultimate cut.
They lowered lis 120 feet down those
shafts in a bucket, on windlass.
1T wasn't pleasant experience, but
it gave us an opportunity to report on

Year.
The year of grace 1902, which saw
the end of the Boer war, the practical
end of the rebellion in the Philippines,
and the termination of half dozen
South and Central American revolu-
tiCns, will probably go down into time
labeled as year OF supreme peace.
And yet in 1908 battles are waging in
nearly dozen countries and war is
abroad upon every continent.
The average reader, if asked tc
name the wars now in progress, would
very likely stop uncertainty after men
tioning the struggle between Britain
and the natives of Somaliland. But
this is not the only war of the day by
any means. Here is a little list of
the places whereat battles have been
going on, either now Or recently, with
the names OF the opposing forces:
