The Rustic VerWs THE City Chap
BY JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, Jr.

| like to see the young men from the country, ano
l will tell YOU why. The boy who is brought up in the
country is nearer nature, and that has a great deal tc
do with the character and stamina OF a young man.
OF course, | like the city young man, but those
from the country appeal to me most strongly, perhaps
largely because | came from the country myself.
The city chap may know more of the world, but
it is not the knowledge that benefits him, and he is
far better off both for business and private life with

Josh Billings Philosophy.

The only way to whip diversity iz face to face; running fite iz always disastrous.
 The hardest man in this world to cheat Is the man who never cheats himself.
 Modesty never wears off, but when bashfulness dug, impudense generally takes the place ov 1t.
 Necessity iz the very best gift ov heaven. Without 1t mankind would only be a herd ov loafers.
 Hiperbolee, nonsense and errattick enthusiasm are too often mistaken for originality in writing.
 Mankind haz always lafft at sheep for rushing in boddy for hole in the fence; but don't mankind always do the same thing, regardless ov their new bonnets?
 If thare lz enny difference between prophesying and guessing, 1t iz in favor ov the guessing, for the man who guesses haz no reputashun at stake.
 It iz fair to presume that the man who iz always anxious to prove hiz posishun haz more or less doubts about 1t himself
 The vulgar take particular notiss ov everything they see.
 The man who depends upon daily nuzepaper for his edukashun, If he happens to miss one, haz lost pretty hutch all he knows, for the next twen- ty-four hours.

HANDS THAT WERE WILLING.
But Not tho Ones the Lieutenant
 Thought He Was Holding.

There is story going the rounds concerning young man in the service who preiiXes his name with lieutenant, that, since the army and navy recep- tion at the White House week ago, greets him at every turn. As 1t hap pened the night was bitter cold and the guests in the long line registered many objections regarding the trying wait.
 Naturally enough the young officer did everything to add to his fair con- panion's comfort and manifested great eagerness to protect her hands from the cold with his own. But the young lady would have none of it.
 Some moments later the lieutenant was seen to slip his hands under the cloak of very much older and less attractive looking girl than the one to whom he was playing the gallant, and there, apparently, being no objection, he succeeded in holding captive her not unwilling hands.
 "Why didn't you let me do this from the start?" he asked of his pretty con- panion, looking down into her eyes with the selfsatisfied grin man some- times wears when he approaches a subllmity of having conquered.
 For precisely the same reason I am not permitting you to do so now. and think if you will release the young woman's hands who is in front of me, perhaps her escort will experience less difficulty in assisting her up the steps, and you will be freer to help me. As the situation is you are crowding me out of the line in order to cling to her hands and making it impossible for the young woman to see that it is not her escort with whom she is holding hands, but an entire stranger" Wash ,ngton Post.

Why They Are Poor.

They think the world owes them a living.
 They do not keep account of their expenditures.
 They have too many and too pxpen- sive amusements.
 They do not think it worth while to save nckels and dimes.
 They try to do what others expect of them, not what they can afford.
 The parents are economical, but the children have eXtravagant ideas.
 They prefer to incur debt rather than to do work which they consider beneath them.
 They do not dream that little mort gages on their homes can ever turn them out of doors.
 They think it will be time enough to begin to save for rainy day when the rainy day comes.
 The head of the house is good man, but he has not learned to do business in businesslike way.
 They do not know that giving a full power-of-attorney to an agent or law yer puts their property at his mercy.
 On 5000 income they try to con- pete in appearance with $2,O0O-a- year nelghbor.
 They have not been able to make much in the business they understand best but have thought they could make a fortune by investing in something they know nothing about.

HAPpiEsT IN THE WORLD.
Negroes of the West Indies Live In
 OnA Parnefual EdAn.

Ne3rOeo OF tno west 1nQ1eo 1.-Two In
 One Perpetual Eden.
 The negroes of the West Indies are, perhaps, the happiest people in the world. They live in land of ever lasting summer, which is entirely suit ed to their happy lazy natures. They need only work to get the luxuries of life, as the necessities grow around them plentifully.
 When negro peasant has small hut and an acre or two of cultivated land he is perfectly independent and happy, and need work for no man. He goes each morning to his ground" and digs and plants and sings to himself all day. At noon his dutiful wife sends one of their numerous children to him with a nicely prepared breakfast of salt fish and akees, yam and roast plantain, and big pan of coffee.
 After eating this he heaves sigh of relief, pulls his "junky pipe" out of his pocket and begins to smoke, gazing on the beautiful scene before him. The waving cocoanut palms, the futtering banana trees and graceful cane fields all tell him story of peace and plen- ty, and slowly but surely send him off to sleep.
 As he sits there nodding and dream ing, a lizard crawls from the pumpkin vine at his feet and up on to his hand, and wakes him. He looks around slow ly and realizes that he has been asleep. He then gets up, seeks a cool spot, and begins his work again.
 At sundown he picks up his hoe and strolls home to the good supper that awaits him. When he gets near he knows that he will not be disappointed, for he smells the fragrant pepper pot" and roasted breadfruit. This hur- ries him home, and soon he partakes of an appetizing meal. His dutiful wife waits upon him hand and foot, and his pickaninnies frolic around him full of life and fun.
 After supper he reads the local paper or a chapter from the Bible, if he be studious, respectable person; if he is not, he goes to the local rumshop for a chat with his friends, or his "brud- ders," as he would call them. About or 9 o'clock he goes to bed as happy as king, to rise again next morning soon after the sun gets up.
 His life is unclouded by any cares or worries, and nobody on earth has a better time than he.

PECULIARITlES OF NOTED MEN.
The Sight of Raw Meat Affects Lord
 WOlseley Ur plensantly.

Everybody knows of the terror which Field Marshal Lord Roberts, the veteran commander in chief of the British army, and Victoria Cross hero, entertains for cats, the proxim- ity of any of these animals producing not merely nausea, but actually faint ing spells. But few save Lord Wolse- ley's intimate friends and associates are aware of the fact that this equally gallant soldier, who has been wound ed again and again, being battle scar red almost from head to foot is simi- larly affected by the sight of raw meat. Indeed, when in the backwoods of Canada he found 1t physically impos- sible to bleed the deer that he shot and to either clean fish or cut up any of the game preparatory to it's being cooked for dinner. Even to this day Field Marshal Lord Wolseley finds 1t trial to pass by butchers shop, and would be unable to enter one with out suffering from nausea.
 Baron von Brandt, who for so many years represented the German empire in Japan and in China, and who was placed on the retired list for having married foreigner, the daughter of an American missionary at Picking, without having previously received the sanction of his government, as requir- ed by the rules and regulations of the department of foreign affairs at Berlin, is affected precisely in the same manner as Lord Roberts and Lord Wolseley by horses and by ponies. Indeed, throughout his stay in the far Orient, he was never able to make use of a carriage, being compelled to restrict himself to palanquins and sedan chairs.

The Price of Life.

The life of the rich man is worth more than the life of poor man, and the physician has the right to charge the millionaire more for his services than he does the laborer, is the opin- ion recently handed down by Phila- delphia judge, who went on to say:
 "The physician is unlike the mer- chant who has goods of different quail ity to sell at various prices. He must give his best service in every case. But it does not follow that the service is worth the same in every case.
 Human life has pecuniary value of variable quantity, greater in the millionaire than in the laborer. Thus the practitioner of common sense makes out his bills to suit the pe- cuniary circumstances of his patients. '" New York Press.
