A PAUPEt by PATENT.

Quite recently an impecunlous
young Austrian nObleman appealed
to the associated charities in Wash
ingtOn for relief. He said that IN
allowance given Lin by an uncIt
was not even sufficient To buy lii
cigarettes, that he had no other in
come, and that work was unworthy
of nOblemnn.
Poor fellow! He is to be pitied
not so much because he Is short on
cigarettes, rs that he is so lamenta.
bly, short in his conception of the
true qualities of true nObleman.
This young mans ancestor who
first brought the title into the fam
ily WAS probably something of a
man. He may have been hero in
war or II leader in industry. He may
have had real nobility But unfor-
tunately he could transmit only the
title. And that title has made n fool
out of the young man.
Nobility would not be such Il bad
thing if the nobility itself were
hereditary. Most of the founders of
the old Austrian families were rug
ged, rough-and-ready fellows who
had no false pride or nasty-niceness
about them. But the law that pre-
serves the rank cannot preserve the
character.
Hereditary nobility is held in con-
tempt i'm this country for the simple
reason that it is only an empty name.
1t units man for usefulness. 1t
makes him the exact opposite of a
noble.
This young Austrian felt no shame
in accepting his uncle's allowance.
He did not hesitate to apply to the
Austrian minister for assistance. He
sees nothing improper in his appeal
for charity. But work? That is be-
meath him. Work, he thinks, would
tarnish his title.
May be il would. Certainly pat
emit of nobility Is worth nothing to
man il he has to stand on his own
feet anyway, and the man who
DOESN'T stand on his own feet isn't
much of man, though he may have

be inoculated so that the roots will
produce nodules? The nitrogen gath
ering legumes all obtain some ritro-
gen from the air 1t is true, how
ever, that the amount of such power
is measured by the quantity of
nodules on the roots. II is doubtful
if these plants are ever absolutely
free from nodules, but these forna-
tiOns are sometimes so small and
few in number as to escape any but
the most careful scrutiny. When
their absence is, apparent, relative
ly, the crop so deficient is perform
ing but slight nitrogen-gathering
work. This may be increased by
inocuIating the soil with soil from
field where the same kind of crops
is doing more nitrogen gathering, as
evidenced by more abundant nodule
formation. Roots of such Il crop
may be used for the same purpose.
Soaking them in tepid water and
then soaking seed to be sOwn in
this water is the most simple and
practical way for performing the in
oculation. The seed thus treated
carry the germs of the nitrogen-gath-
ering bacteria to the soil where they
may be sown.

A BRUTAL DEFENCE.

The world has nothing but con-
tempt for the sycophant. And it is
safe to assume that John ID. Rookie
Teller, being large part of the
world, shares in this opinion.
Now there is the sensational r..
BENJAMIN Andrews, chancellor OF
the University of Nebraska. An
drews is the latest Obsequious candl-
date for some of Mr.. Rockefellers
money.
In begging the state to receive a
gift lately rendered by Mr.. Rookie
Teller, he made defence of the
Standard Oil company that is brutal
in it's sensationalism. He said that
the crushing out of the weak by the
strong was an eternal principle. The
Standard Oil company was merclful
in offering to buy out it's rivals.
Like mercifully taking up sick
ly child and benevolently wringlne
its neck" was suggested to him.
EXACTLY, "retorted Andrews. "The
analogy is good one" Then he
proceeded to say:
"Society, as it becomes more en-
lightened, will snuff out the lives OF
sickly and deformed infants to pre-
vent their becoming at maturity II
burden to it and themselves. AS
with the cradle, so it will be with
other cases. A committee of skilled
physicians, l firmly believe, eventu-
ally will determine the fate of those
who are sickly or whose recovery
from disease is impossible. Such
persons, if the physicians agree, will
be mercifully put to death
The analogy is certainly a cold one
The Standard Oil company is right
in wrecking the lives and fortunes OF
men because it is strong and they
are weak. 1t is evolution. The law
of the survival of the tittest is work
ing and that is n law of God.
But there is II suspicion abroad
that it was not evolution that work
ed out the destiny of the Standard
Oil company, but the violation o!
the lust laws of both God and man.
1t was not Providence, but the
shrewd brain of John ID. Rockefeller.
If it is the law of nature that the
uhat piOInf IN a
society to interfere and snuff out tn,
life of any2
Andrews seems to have gone /,
long way for his analogy. The sac
redueSs of human life, the influence
of the deformed and sickly upon the
character of the living, the divine
ministry OF pain and sorrow-these
never occurred to him.
The altruistic age which builds
hospitals, homes and asylums, which
sets science to cure the feeble
minded and feeble-bodied is all II
mistake, says Chancellor Andrews
BY and by society will mercifully
put these weak ones to death.
Andrews has Over-shnt himself in
his anOlOgy. Even Rockefeller will
hardly subscribe to the sentiments
expressed by this sensational syco-
plant.
1t is not the tendency of evolution
to revert to savagery. 1t is making
for II higher civilization.
And, thank God, society is not PIN
ing to adopt the methods of the
Indian who kills his aged and help
less.
Neither does it care to go back to
the Stone Age, the age of the strong
est arm and the biggest club.

a line of ancestry running back to
Adam. So if the title is furnished it
doesn't amount to much. A title
that keeps one from being man
ought to be more than furnished.
This young 'nobleman" has yet to
learn that in this country every man
must make his own title of nobility.
He must learn that among the free
born American citizens pauper by
patent commands no standing what
ever.
He can not lower himself by labor
he is as low now rs it is possible
for any man to get.
Work is tie only thing that can
elevate him to the level of true man
hood.

The English language is as complex
as it needs be. Take for instance the
words used to represent the young OF
the animal kingdom. A young chick,
en- is peep or chick, the young of @
duck is a duckling, of goose is o
gosling, of a turkey is a poult, of q
pigeon is a squad, the progeny of a
COW is a calf. of horse a colt, of a
deer a fawn, of dog a pup, of cat
kitten. and so on down the line. In
some languages one term would cover
the whole category, but it would be
too hard for the angry American to
call some one gosling or a pup If
he had to specify too clearly with one
term to draw on.
