welt, raising his hat to considerable
crowd which had assembled on Executive
avenue, stepped briskly to the tree on the
north side of the walk and threw few
spadefuls of dirt into the excavation
around the tree
Mrs. Roosevelt was then given small
garden spade, adorned as the other was.

excavation around the other tree. The
assembled people applauded her cordially
as she completed the task.

The Pittsburg Dispatch says:
A severe shortage of box cars has been
experienced by shippers of Connelsylle
coke for over a week. acquisitions for
box cars are met with but fraction Of
the number required, and as the deficiency
is carried over in acquisitions from day

difficulty with gondolas. Prices on coke
are pretty firm, so far as regular Con-

The Lesson of Enictetnn.

"If we cannot be happy" says Sir
John Lubbock. 'the fault is generally
in ourselves. Epictetus was a poor
slave, and yet how much we owe to
him! How possible he says, that
man who h2s nothing, who is naked,
houseless, without a hearth, squalid,
without a slave, without a city, can
pass a life that flows easily! See; God
has sent you man to show you that
it is possible. Look at me, who am
without a city, without a house, with
out possessions, without a slave. sleep
On the ground. l have no wife, no chill
dren, no praetOrium, but only the earth
and the heavens, and one poor cloak.
And what do | want? Am / not with
out sorrow? Am l not without fear?
When did any of you see me failing in
the object of my desire or ever falling
into that which l would avoid? Did
ever blame God or man? Did l ever
accuse any man? Did any of you ever
see me with a sorrowful countenance?
And how do I meet with those whom
you are afraid of and admire? Do l
not treat them as slaves? Who, when
he sees me, does not think that he sees

The Two Pairs of Fetters.

Some years ago a fierce war waged
in India between the English and Tip
poo Sahib. On one occasion several
English officers were taken prisoners.
Among them was one named Baird.
One day a native ef1St# SsSught in
fetters to be put on each Of the prison
ers, the wounded not excepted. Baird
had been severely wounded and was
suffering from pain and weakness. A
gray haired officer said to the native
official:
"You Will not think of putting chains
upon that wounded manT
'There are just as many pairs Of fet-
ters as there are captives," was the
answer, land every pair must be
worn"
"Then," said the noble officer, put
two pairs ON me. 1 will wear his as
we'll as my own"
This was done. Strange to say, Baird
lived to regain his freedom-lived to
take the city-but his noble friend died
in prison.

FROM the interest the Democratic
leaders are taking in politics this year
it looks as though they were go
ing to repeat the act of self deception
of three years ago. The Jersey City
Journal says in regard to the situa-
ton:
1.-THE average increase in the total
vote should make this years total
vote $4,000, and under ordinary cir
cumstances it is reasonable to expect
that the Democratic. vote will in
crease to about 10000 and THERE
publican vote to about 100000. This
would give the Republicans about
$1,000 the lead. The local disatfec-
tions in the Republican ranks may al
ter this in spots, but very conserva-
tive estimate of the Republican lead
would be about 80, 900 to 10000. ~

THE Democrats expected great
things from the equal taxation ques-
ton this year, and some of the Demo-

were preparing to take action in the
matter. The wind has been taken
from their sails, however,. for by a
vote of Ito 2, and after stirring de
bate lasting from $3.50 until 6:15 O'Clock
the New Jersey equal Taxation
League, in Mayor Fagan's office, decid-
ed not to ask the Legislature to take
up the equal tax problem at its special
session beginning next Tuesday. The
eleven members voting against the
proposition believe that as the matter
has been referred to a commission of
able men, they should be permitted to
discuss and report upon the subject
before anything further should be at
tempted in the Legislature.
