The Little Fellow.

Our good friend, 1.-THE SharpShOOt-
err" Of the Commercial West, is con-
tinuing in his strain of in the world
but not Of it. He addresses a clientele
that is essentially after the almighty
dollar, but he is doing his best to re-
mind the dollar-chasers that, notwith-
standing the merits of their occupa-
ton in a material world, there are
some other things in life worth the
striving. His words may fall upon
deaf ears, but just the same it is good
to have a commercial publication re-
minding busy business men, who
never have time for anything but
business or ,sensuous personal enjoy
ment, that the amassing of metal or
paper certificates of material possess
sions is not the only thing that counts
in. life. Our American business men
are apt to be lop-sided; many are all
for the dollar, They need rounding
out and a little gentle instruction in
the difference between men and dol
lars; between large checks, and gen
tlemanliness. .,av
1.-THE Sharpshooter" recently dis
cussed ''the little fellow The world
lis full of little fellows. Most of us
are little fellows, little in material
resources, little in power, little in
mental capacity. But we don't devote
much time to thinking about the little
fellow. The big fellow with the mill
lions has-until lately, at least-en'-
crossed our attention. We have mar
veled much over the Wall street con-
queror, but we have synpathized little
with the Wall street victims; we have
burned incense before the trusts, but
we have thought but little of the ru-
,,sined lives, hopes and business enter
; prises that have been melted down
and recast to make the idols.
We little fellows even have GER
tain contempt for ourselves for being
little. 1t is poor consolation that we
are doing our best with our scant tai
ents and meager opportunities. We
do not reflect that relatively, we may
be making a greater success Of life
even in purely material way, than
the big fellow u.s. Considering the
size of it's builders, an ant hill two
feet high is a greater success than a
thirty-story office building. Neverthe-
less, in comparison with the building
the ant hill is hardly visible. So we
lose sight of really great achieve
ments by insisting on comparing re-
suits without examining the condi-
tons and means.
This being a world and a nation of
little fellows, we ought to shape our
laws and customs with a view to pro-
noting the welfare of the little man.
The big fellow who uses his talents
with respect and reverence for hui
mainly is a blessing. He makes it a
better world for the little fellow. But
bigness without goodness is a curse
to the toiling, suffering, planning, low
ing millions of unknown little fellows.
Yet all the conditions of the game of
life still handicap the little fellow
almost as much in this age of steam
and mind as in that old age of muscle
and brute strength.

association now has 10000 members,
and last year exported eggs to the
value Of about $1,106,000, and Dam
ish eggs bring several cents more a
dozen in England than other eggs
The farmers also have cooperative
societies for buying and distributing
feed and artificial manures.
A small country like Denmark is
particularly adapted to agricultural
cooperation, but there is doubtless
room for great application OF the
idea In America. Already we have
successful! cooperative grain buying
and fruit marketing associations to
say nothing of the wonderful success
OF the cooperative dairies. The
farmer is not often a good business
man, and he does not get his full
share of the wealth he produces. BY
combining for selling purposes, the
most inexperienced farmers can get
the benefit Of business wits, skill and
experience.
A striking instance of a recent sue
cess in cooperation in selling among
the farmers of the United States is
that of the farmers Of the eastern
| shore Of Virginia. This organization
has been in operation four years.
While large quantities Of berries are
handled, the business consists chiefly
OF marketing potatoes. In 1902 the
association shipped more than 400, 900
barrels of sweet potatoes and 200, 900
barrels of white potatoes. AS a re-
suit of careful grading and intelligent
| marketing, members of the associa-
ton now receive on the average so
cents barrel more than formerly,
and land values have increased from
20 to 40 per cent.
There are very few farmers in the
United States who could not benefit
themselves by means Of cooperation
! in some form.

KING TEACHING AGRICULTURE

King Alfonso Of Spain is giving his sub
iects lessons in agriculture. He wants to
show to them that by the application Of
modern methods lands which for centuries
has been held to be barren can be made to
yield profitable crops. For this purpose he
has selected 70 hectares of his poorest
land and has procured machinery Of the
latest type Nearly every day he drives
out to inspect the work accompanied by
the minister of the exterior. Count san
Bernardo, who is said to be more Of an
agriculturist than diplomatist.

An Example,

A feature of the Canadian north
west universally remarked by trav-
elers is its orderliness. All agree that
the peace and feeling Of security that
prevail, even in the newest regions,
are due to the Northwest Mounted
Police. Now that there is much talk
of establishing state rural constabu-
laries in this country, the work OF
these Canadian policemen should be
considered.
The great trouble in maintaining
order in rural communities or small
towns is that the peace officers are
more or less handicapped by person
al considerations and relations. They
are also very often lacking in sense
Of responsibility, and are not seldom
laW-breakers themselves.
A state police force, dependent on
no local influences for it's appoint
ment, and shifted around from time
to time, from one part of the state
to another, would exert a moral in
fluence that would make for order
and inspire a wholesome dread of the
law among the lawless.
In many of our states law and or
der are maintained by local officers
quite as we'll as the mounted police
maintain them in western Canada,
tho with less pomp and circum-
stance. In such a state as Mime
sofa. for example, there may be no
need of a state constabulary, but
L
share of the lawless and disorderly
element really require state constabu-
laries, if they wish to maintain the
highest possible degree Of public
peace.

LoWLY END OF A FAMOUS SHIP

The Enterprise, which took part in the
search for Sir John Franklin. is to be used
for pile driving for the Dover Harbor
works. The Enterprise and the Investi-
gator left England, under Captains Coll
]inson and Mcclure respectively, in jan.
uary, 1850, and it was in May of 1855 that
Captain Colinson returned home after one
of the most remarkable voyages ever re-
corded even in the fascinating story of
Arctic exploration. OF all the expeditions
fitted out by the government to discover
Franklin's fate, Collisions came nearest
to success, and his voyage has been de-
scribed as record of patience, endurance.
and unHagging perseverance, under diff
culties which have perhaps never been

Last year 43,OO0,O 900 feet of lumber, to
say nothing of millions Of feet of logs,
mostly from Minnesota, were shipped into
western Canada. The Minnesota lumber
men are not SO strongly opposed to ,reci-
procity with Canada as they were. Mighty
little Canadian lumber was imported into
Minnesota. That is why some people are
strongly interested in reciprocity with
Canada.

Bruno Lessing'' is the pen name of
Rudolph Block. Mr.. Block, tho little past
30, has had a long experience in journal
ism, having been for six years a re-
porter on the New York Sun, where he
got his early newspaper training. Sub
sequently, he was connected with the
World, and for the past five years has
been editor of the comic supplement to
Mr.. Hearst's newspa pers. During his con-
nection with the Sun, Mr.. Block was as
signed for year to labor reporting
and while engaged in this occupation he
became deeply interested in the cloak
makers strike and other labor troubles
on the East Side. The terrible earnest
ness of the East Side Jews, their poverty
and frightful sufferings, and finally their
picturesqueness impressed Mr.. Block so
intensely as to fill him with desire to
give the greater world outside better
knowledge of them. Hence his Children
Of Men, reviewed recently in this
