THE MAGAZINE SAMPLER

A New Career for Men.-Young men
who are seeking fields of usefulness will
find it worth their while to read "a New
Career" by Clinton Rogers Woodruff in
The ChauteMquan for October. Public
spirited organizations are doing more
than ever for the cause Of good govern
ment, municipal and upward. To such or
ganizatio more and more busy men are
looking for data on which to direct their
course in public matters. Such organiza-
tions must have trained men to secure
these data It is there that the new ca
reer comes in. For example, the Munich
pal Voters League Of Chicago has con-
stantly in its service two or three highly
educated men who follow closely the
transactions of Chicago's councils. These
men know all that the council does.
Therefore, the Voters league can always
act iptelligently; ditto, its individual
members: both in way they could not
do if they had no such servants. The
field is an attractive one for the student
of affairs. The Offering Of good reading in
The Chautauquan for October is large and
satisfying.

FIVE CENTS A DRINK

Five cents drink. Does any one think
That that is really the price of drnkf
Five cents a glass; 1 hear you say;
Why, that isn't very much to pay.
All, no. indeed, it's a very small sum
You are passing over 'twixt finger and thumb
And If that were all you gave away
1t wouldn't be very much to pay!
The price of drink: let him decide
. Who has lost his courage and lost his pride
And lies groyeling heap of clay,
Not far removed from beast today.
The price of drink? let that one tell
Who sleeps tonight in murderer's cell
Honor and virtue, love and truth,
All the glory and pride of youth,
Hopes of manhood, the wealth Of fame,
High endeavor and noble aim:
These are the treasures thrown away,
AS the price Of drink from day to day.
The price of drink! If you want to know
What some are willing to pay for it. go
Thru that wretched tenement over there,
With dingy windows and broken stair.
There poverty dwells with her hungry brood
Wild-eyed creatures for lack of food
There shame in corner crouches low;
There violence deals its cruel blow: -
And innocent are thus accused =
To pay the price of another ones thirst.

The sacrifice would indeed be small!
But the moneys worth is the least amount
We pay; and whoever will keep an account

That follows the ruinous appetite.

No American Transcontinental.

It is rather strange that in all the
railway consultations and TRANSFORMED
tions within the last few years, there
has not been evolved a genuine Ameri-
can transcontinental railway With
all Of the 100000 miles of railway in
the United States, there is not sin
gle individual transcontinental line. By
means Of connections, it is possible to
trace on the map seven or eight trans
continentals, but there is not a line
that is controlled from coast to coast
by, one company or operated as a single
system. The Canadian Pacific is still
the only real .transcontinental railway
in America, the only railway that runs
thru trains from east to west and west
to east.
It is not apparent that there is any
economic necessity for such combi-
nation, but it is strange that some rail
way promoter vanity does not lead
him to unite two or three rail
ways into a coast-to-coast system.

Measuring others experiences by our
own, we are disposed to say that it is
a mighty good thing for young folk to
learn all they can about living things
which excite their interest-rabbits, goph-
ers, squirrels, cats, dogs. and a whole
lot more. We wish now we had had
some guides in our early days, such as
young folk have now. One of these mod
ern guides for beginners is Stories Of Lit
tie Animals among "Phyllis' Field
Friends by Lenore E. Mulets. It is a
book Of stories of little animals with
whom Phyllis is on speaking terms. Along
with each story is information, simply
told, about the animal under discussion.

Who Talk the Most, Men or Women PA
New Novelist Says the Men Do-Is This
Merely Bid for Popular Favor Among
. the Women 1.-THE Private Tutor" by
GamaIIei Bradford, Jr., Very Read
able Story.

Gamaliel Bradford, Jr. has aroused our
his first-and in it he makes his hero"
in conversation with her who Is to be-
come the hero's Wife, say, In answer to
the remark, "a woman doesn't talk, she
listens:
That isn't the common opinion, but it's the
true one. The does nine-tenths of the talk
Ing. Then he finds fault with the woman be-
cause-she won't let him do the other tenth.
If it be true that the great majority Of
novel readers are women, there would be
motive for this, especially in view Of
the fact that Mr.. Bradford has his repu-
| tation as a novelist yet to make. Hence
our suspicious.
But Mr.. Bradford has done very good
piece of work in his first novel, The
Private Tutor. It is much more than or
dinarily readable. The story is that Of
the tutor Of an American multi-million-
aire who sends his son, who is great
deal Of a cub, abroad in the hope that he
may acquire refinement and a general
education, besides seeing the world. How
this wish fails of accomplishment, by
| reason of mysterious countess, is mar
rated in an amusing comedy.
The cub Is rather too brutally brutal.
To make the story more convincing, the
author should have had him kicked sew
| eral times. He would have been in real
| life. Perhaps the best piece Of charac-
ter painting is that of the countess, whom
| the hero describes to the cub" thus:
| She is an adventures Of the very worst order,
because she is at least half sincere in what she
does. 1 could tell you the names of the men
whose lives she has wrecked-some by drinking,
| some by gambling, some by their own pistol bull
! lets and some by others. She does not care.
She is absolutely reckless. She is simply 1gno-
rant Of what the word conscience means. She
will put you on and wear you and take you of
| and crumple you up and throw you away and
| forget you like an old glove.
| Yet with such a character, more fully
disclosed elsewhere, there is nothing Of
the melodramatic about the story
Along with the story Of the "cub's" in
fatuation for the adventures runs the
pleasing romance of the 'hero,'' the tutor,
altogether a very happy love affair, at
least as far as the author takes his read
| ers.
Mr.. Bradford has contributed numerous
literary and critical articles to The A.
lantIc Monthly and other magazines, and
in 1895 he published a volume Of essays
entitled TYPES Of American Character -
He was born in Boston in 1868, and is the
eighth in direct descent from Governor
William Bradford of Plymouth colony In
1896 he passed several months in Rome,
making a careful study of the city, and

Message Not for Young Men.

Grover Cleveland was given an as
signment recently by the Saturday
Evening Post, to cover the question:
"Why Young Man Should Vote the
Democratic Ticket
The ex-president s answer to this
question gives testimony to the fact
that he is no longer young man. He
fails entirely to reach the young man s
point of view, and the burden Of his
argument is that the dear old demo
cratic party has returned, after wan
dering in "foolish paths Of apparent
expediency or downright error,' to it's
old ideals and principles. "Thru the
recuperative ministrations of it's con-
servatism,' says the sage Of Prince
ton, the party has been restored to .ag-
gressive vigor. e..
What does all this mean to the young
man, and how can it appeal to the
voter about to cast his first ballot ?
The young men of this day demand
more than chronic opposition to govern
ment policy. Negation does not attract
them. The administration that is con-
structive, the party that does things,
will get the votes Of the new generation
this year. Mr.. Cleveland 8 brief for
| democracy will appeal to some old
time bourbons, who, like himself, re-
fused to follow the party off into ''fool-
lsh paths,' but what does this burst
OF rhetoric mean to the aggressive
young American Of today:
1t (the Democratic nartv\ o,,poeoe tn
sensationalism and snowy exhibition
of over-reaching executive activity, an
1nsistence upon the observance of the
restraints of the constitution and a scru-
pulous regard for the divisions of gov
ernmental authority ordained by the
fathers of the republic. In the place OF
apprehension and uncertainty it promises
peace and restful confidence. : =
The last democratic administration
was certainly restful, as the veterans
OF the 1894 army Of the unemployed
will bear witness; but the confidence
which Mr.. Cleveland promises was
conspicuous by it's absence in those days
of broken banks and ruined credits
AS to executive activityN which
Mr.. Cleveland now holds so reprehensi
bic, he himself furnished a striking ex
ample during his second administra
ton. Perhaps if he had it to do over
again he would not use his executive
authority in sending troops to quell the
Chicago strikers, nor would he bluff
England out of South America. But
then, Mr.. Cleveland is not so young az
he was ten years ago. 49,.

A New State Prison.

How many towns in Minnesota are
going to offer a site for the new state
penitentiary3
1t is several years since the state has
helped to boom community by passing
out new institution, and the appetites
of the unsatisfed are probably well
whetted. The campaign waged by
Anoka and Hastings for the new hospi-
tai is still lurid chapter in our his
tory.
The prison at Saltwater is over
prison population is swelling. The
cramped location of the prison forbids
expansion there, and something must be
done very soon to give the state wards
room and sanitary quarters. 1t is quite
likely that the next legislature will
make an initial appropriation and locate
q second prison. Then look out for a
log-rolling scramble from a dozen appli-
cants.
Before entering their city as a candi-
date for the new institution site, bust.
moss men should consider carefully how
much it is worth to them. While the
buildings are going up, money will be
brought into the town in some quantity,
but when the work is finished and the
prison begins to shelter offenders, the
business benefits to the town will be
small. Under the old system Of separ-
ate boards most of the supplies were
bought from the. merchants of the insti-
tuition towns, but the board Of control
has made a radical change. Leaving
out some perishable produce, supplies
are bought for all the institutions on
competitive bids. The local merchant
occasionally gets slice, if he bids low
enough, but as a rule very little business
comes to the institution towns. The
inmates Of a prison or an insane asylum
spend little or no money in the town
The employees as a rule are fed from
the institution supplies, and housed on
the grounds. So the material benefits
are slight, and while there is some pres
tige in being an "institution town.
this is offset in the case Of a prison
by other considerations.
Saltwater would not give up the pres
ent penitentiary without a fight, but
Saltwater has trouble on account of the
prison. For instance, the movement
to abolish hangings and substitute cleo
trocution got quite an impetus at the
last legislative session. The members
from Washington county had all they
could do to defeat a bill making the
Saltwater prison the scene for all Off
cial executions under the new plan. The
project doubtless will be revived, as TIT
Duluth member who fathered it ha!
been .renominated. If Saltwater has tt
divide the benefits of prison with some
other city, the Saltwater representa-
tives are likely to insist that the new
prison take charge CT the execution
This might be unpleasant notoriety 70,
the city so honored. No one outside
, thinks of Auburn, Sing Sing or Jolie
as anything but prison city, and thei
names seldom appear in the newspaper,
