CANDIDATES or THE FUTURE.

Log Cabin and Farm Features Will
 Soon Be Left Ont of Their Records.
 When the next generation reads tho history of presidential candidates 1t will not find the farm and log cabin in- cldents that we have been reading in our time." said an old politician as he laid down his paper.
 "I have just read" he continued, "that number of college students have been engaged as conductors on a trolley line in nearby city. Not long ago read another article about col lege students who had been engaged as walters or guides, and in one case about a young man who had hired out to do scullery work in a hotel at a summer resort.
 "The log cabin boy and the farmer boy are becoming scarce in this coun- try. MT. Fairbanks was farmer lad. but he quit the work as soon as he saw an opportunity to get ahead in anoth. CT business. Some of the papers have referred to Judge Parker as farmer, but he Is not a farmer in the common acceptatlon of that word.
 "The future Presidents of the coun- try are on the trolley lines or acting as walters. Better be polite to these young men you meet on the street cars. Some of the futures may be banjo players in the college clubs or a coach to some college team.
 Every boy is going to college now, or will be within the next 9 years. The farmer of the future will be a hired man. The son of the owner will be prepared for professional life as soon as he can make 1t.
 "The story of the boy who got his schooling in the little schoolhouse in the country is nearly threadbare now. The country schoolhouse is moving out of sight pretty rapidly. If you find one anywhere in the woods, take off your hat and salute it. If you see a farmhouse on the roadside, give 1t your blessing.
 "The boy is not in the field. He is somewhere in factory learning a trade; or he is becoming an electrician; maybe is working as waiter in a tavern. But you won't find him fol- lowing the blow.
 If you want to run him down in the night, you will find him pursuing his studies under an electric light. The boy you used to hear about, who chopped wood all day and then studied by the light of the fire, is not to be found any more.
 "Out of the great community of boys growing up will come the next Presi' dents. The writers in search of mate rial to make up their histories will have a new field. The log house and farm features will not figure in the history of the campaign in ten or if. teen years from now."-New York

RUSSIAN PROPHET
Predicted Japanese Supremacy Nearly
 100 Years Ago.

Predicted Japanese Supremacy .NearIJ
 100 Years Ago.
 That the Japanese would one day be rulers of the ocean coast of Asia is the prediction made almost a century ago in the book of a Russian naval observer, whose prophecy seems not unlikely of fulfillment at the present time. In 1911 Capt. Vasill Golawin, of the imperial navy, was instructed to cruise among the coral archipelagoes of the Pacific to ascertain which of these were inhabited by the Japanese, and accordingly he set sail from Odes. sa in the Diana, arriving some two months later off the coast of Yezo. But one or two copies of Capt. Cola wins book are extant, one of them being in the library of the Winter Pal. ace at St. Petersburg.
 Published in 1915. Capt. Golawin's Captivity in Japan" throws an inter- esting light upon the physical and moral characteristics of the Japanese nation at time when little, if any. thing, definite was known by Euro. peans-particularly in Russia-of the traits of the Mongolian island people. Of the observations contained in Capt. Golawin's book the following are of current interest: "I praise the Jap anese for their skill. They will one day be, probably, rulers of the ocean coast of Asia. And what can Russia do, being so far away from this bor- der? Should the Japanese introduce European civilization and European political systems. the Chinese would be obliged to do the same, and those two people could then give Europe am other face.' Happenings such as tho Chwostow raids 179D would give sug' gestion to them to build European warshlps, and a small fleet could be raised to begin with. Many European inventions could be reproduced in Japan-and without the brains of a Peter the Great-simply by the com binatio of circumstances and the nat ural advantages of Japan.
 Certainly, with European models Japan could build men of war very easily and man them quickly with brave soldiers. The population Is pc culiarly adaptable to naval require ments by reason of the insular posi- tion of the country. The people com. prehend easily, and, given adequate instruction, would supplant Europeans as navigators.
 "The Japanese lack only one qual' ity, namely: terrestrial bravery; but their deficiency In this respect is only because of the peaceloving character of their government. After a very long time they lose all capacity tc shed blood. l think an entire people not timid, however, whose forefathers were the terrors of the whole world. New York Times.

New York.-Paul Kruger. the late president of the Transvaal republic, left a. fortune estimated at $3,750,00O. He bequeathed $125,00O to various societies in Holland and sums to all the funds opened after the South Afri- can war for the support of the Boer widows and orphans. Requests also were made for the maintenance of the Dutch language.

 Sold for . Large Sum.
 What an irony of fate there Is in the fact that the torn, shabby little pc ccketbook and almanac that was found lying upon the bed beside the starved and self-slain boy-poet Chat. terton should now be bought by Bristol plutocrat and be presented to that city as a treasure of costly value! But it Is well for that city, which has been criticised for her love of the ma terial, that she should now have among her children one who If wealthy, yet can grasp the worth of the intellectual. This gift by George White to the Bristol Museum of Chat terton's manuscripts and relics Is one that will draw many to the old city that now recognizes what genius she drove from her midst in the eighteenth century. The little pocketbook that Is really an almanac, with space for notes and accounts, Is all stained on one side with brown-hued blotch. that has eaten into the paper; Is It some of the poison the poor lad split ere taking the fatal draught? It is ap. parently strong acid. The entries in this pocketbook are full of pathos; lists of the articles he had sent to cer- tain papers, and the money received. An entry of Due from others. f1O 17s Gd," speaks volumes, and against this is Lent Is 6d." From Mir. Ham, ilton he received fl Ills Cd, and here again is Lent 2s''-a trait of gener- osity in the poverty stricken lad hlth- erto unnoticed. The original "Ac. count of the Family of the De Berg' hams from the Norman Conquest tc the Present Time" is here, with all the wondrous pedigree with which he fooled the conceited pewterer. This is in two copy books, in the old antique marble covers of the time. There is also a long poem on "The Death of Sir Charles Baudin," in the boys neat, careful hand. And curious poem, with a glossary, 'The Goulers' Re quiem," Gouler being usurer or miser. The whole collection Is deeply interesting, and as a pendant Is re- ceipt of Chatterton's sister to Cottle for f135 19s for books sold by Long mans for her benefit.
