pURUslr AND POSSESSION.

Contentment is better than
riches. This does not mean to
be supinely Indifferent to ones
duties, neither does it signify
that it is wrong to have certain
ambitions and lofty aspirations.
But there are millions who are
we'll off if they knew it. The
knowing Of it is the chief
secret. and those who do not
know it cannot make themselves
happier by acquiring more
wealth or power. The added
dollars and the increased respon.
sibility means more work, and is
usually coupled with a miserable
appetite for more-like the man
who overindulges in intoxicants.
The intoxicaut, though it be
wealth, power or alcohol, fails
TO intoxicate eventually, but
skaters the nerves and leaves
nothing but feverish longings.
The man who sits contentedly on
his cottage veranda and views
the mountain scene in the fore
ground may be far Weather
than the millionaire. The cot
lager owns the landscape just as
much as the other fellow, and he
does not have to pay taxes on it.
The rich man may be worrying
how he is going to monopolize
The view or the minerals in the
mountain, and really never had
the pleasure of seeing the beauti-
ful in connection with it. Those
who have never tried to throw
eff the worries of the world car
not imagine what a relief it is tc
free. There is pleasure in pur.
suit-more in possession, and We
should learn to enjoy the pur-
suit, and realize that possession
does not amount to so much after
all. This does not mean for peo-
pie to be inert or Indifferent, but
keenly alive and appreciative Of
the true pleasures. Let US get
closer to nature, and closer to
human nature.
The following from the Atchi-
son Globe is true in every par
ticular:
I'VE rubber at the idle rich.
envy them and wish we were il

real pleasure is foreign to to
them. The truth about living il
that the pleasure Of having
things is to work for them and
earn them. The man who an
preciates living is the one who
works. The woman who loves
| her home is the one who takes
care of herself. The vacation
that is enjoyed is the one which
is gained by sacrifices. People
who are surfeited on lavish din
ners do not enjoy their food like

ITS INFLUENCE FELT.

has ANOTHER CHANCE.

Judge Parker, up to this time,
has not expressed his views on
any subject except to say in a
telegram to the convention, as
soon as he had the nomination
clinched, that he regarded the
gold standard as firmly and ire
vocably established. Democratic
papers laud this sudden revision
of the party principles by the
nominee as an act OF courage.
But there was not one chance in
ten thousand that the conven-
ton would dare withdraw the
nomination. To do that would
simply be to open the doors to
chaos and a general party ex-
plosion. Parker had the con
vention tight, and he knew it.
But as his radical addition to the
party platform is hailed as a dis
play OF heroism, he will have a
chance in his first remarks to the
people of the United States to
recast the platform in other
respects.
Is he ready to subscribe to the
plank in the Democratic plat
form declaring that I'VE de
nounce protection as a robbery
of the many to enrich the few!'
New York, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Maryland, West Virgins
ond Delaware figure in the Dem
ocratic estimates, but all are
busy States in manufacturing
industries. Workmen engaged
in them get the best wages in
the world on account of the pro
tective policy Of the Republican
party. They will not subscribe
to the latest Democratic doctrine
that protection is a robbery q
the many to enrich the few" A;
least, they have never yet EN-
braced that idea. So Parker, ir
his first speech or letter, has ar
opportunity for another burst Of
courage. He can say that he
regards protection as firmly ano
irrevocably established, and sc
it is, just as much as the gold
standard, no more, no less. A
Democratic Congress and Presi'
dent could change it all. AS ia,
as the latest Democratic plat
form is concerned, they could dc
as they please about the cur
rency, and they would be bound
to treat protection as the robbery
of the many to enrich the few.
unless Parker adds a telegraphie
or other proviso of his own, and
gets some more praise for manly
courage.

FIRST REGULAR MEETING

The Round Dozen held their first regular meeting with Mrs. s. M. Beattie Wednesday after noon and the pleasures of the gathering were all that could have been anticipated by the pro moters of the organization.
 Conversation is the chief diver sion of club meetings, so we are told, and the new club fell readily into the practices of older organi- cations. The members are limit ed to three kinds of refresh ments, and upon this occasion they were sandwiches, cheese straws and coffee, being nicely served.
 Those present were: Mes danes c. E. Maynard, Wesley Beard, L. E. Willis, I. D.. Price, J. H. McHugh, T. B. Stewart, Wm. Mosby, Frank Hess and John w. Wallace.

HAD NEVER BEEN KISSED.
Neglected Ten-Year-OId Lad Could Not Remember Ever Having Re-
 ceived the Tender Caress.

once made tour of the almshouses of the state of New York, describing i them exactly as they were. Every emo- ton that can be awakened by sorrow was felt during the trip, writes Julius Chambers in the Reader Magazine. The most pathetic incident occurred at the poorhouse of Essex county, located in the hills beyond Whallonsburg, near Lake Champlain. I should say that the trip was made at the request of state commissioner of charities, who desired that the truth should be told.
 After inspecting the wards for the aged women and insane, walked across an open court, deep with mud, to visit the children's quarters. While there, a small, red-faced, red-headed lad attract ed my notice. I patted him on the shoulder and asked his name. He gave l it promptly, told me he was ten years l old and that his father and mother were dead. felt deeply touched by the child's words. Soon after I left the mis- erable shed in which these children were herded together and started to recross the yard. I felt tug at my coat and l found my little friend behind me. Ills eyes looked up into mine so pitifully that I asked:
 What can do for you, my boy?"
 T want you to kiss me-"
 Certainly; but why?"
 'I never was kissed in my life!"
 When I came to write that story for publication developed it's full pathos, giving the name of the fatherless and motherless lad. AS a result he was adopted by wealthy family near Sara toga; he has been well raised, given college education and is to-day heir to 1 fortune.

AUTHORS ODD EXPERIENCE.
Mississippi BubbIe," Meets De- scendant of Hero of His Book.

Emerson Hough, who, by his strik- ing characterization of John Law in 'The Mississippi Bubble" has made that picturesque gentleman alive for all time, was surprised out of his usual calm by the appearance at his office door of a dignified and impressive stranger who announced himself as John Law. As soon as Mir. Hough real ized that the vision before him was ccrporeal and not the cheating fancy of his brain, he set out the easy chair and bade the welcome guest tell him the story of his life.
 John H. Law lives in Chicago and is the resident manager of big insur- ance company. He had read The Mississippi Bubble" and mad called to pay his respects to the man who had given the world an honest picture of his great ancestor. Mir. Hough learned that the family on coming to this country settled first in Georgia, that one of it's members was brigadier general in the confederate army, and that after the war the Laws moved to Cincinnati where one of the brothers still lives in a country place which he calls Lauris- ton after the ancestral home in Scot land.
 The author and the descendant rev. eled in the family history for hours. and when they parted to meet at dinner the next night Hough said he felt &s though he had shaken hands with the hero of his romance and had looked into the face of the man who for one historic moment had seen all Europe at his feet 1 NEW EMBROIDERIES NEW

How the British Museum was Star

ROW the British Museum Was Star4eo.
An observer recalls the interesting
circumstances of the establishment OF
the British Museum. The funds for
the Institution were raised by a lottery
Which was authorized in 1853 by an
acc OF Parliament, the Archbishop of
Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, and
the Speaker being the and
trustees, each to receive 910O as an
nonorarium. The amount of the lot.
terry is said to have been a million and
a half dollars (9300, OCO), which was
raised by f3 tickets, to provide 92OO,.
U for prizes, varying in value from
10000 to f10, and 91OO, 600 for the u
chase of the Museums nucleus-the
Sloane collections and the Harleian Lii.

QUESTIONS and to meet other expenses.
1t will be remembered that the lottery
became notorious through the activi.
ties of a certain Peter Leheup. who

them sold at a premium. Leheup was
afterwards prosecuted for breach of
trust and fined $1,000, which could not
