At little gathering of officials the
other day says the London Tribune.
the talk turned on the diplomatic
duel between the Russians and the
Japanese, and there was quite a diff
ference of opinion as to whether the
Muscovite or the little man from the
Far East is the most expert diplom-
atist. But, my dear man." said one of
the disputants who had a touching
faith in the veracity of the Jap these
Russians are such liars!' Tut, TUT"
replied the other you should have
known their grandfathers!"
The reply reminds me of the story
Sir Horace Rumbold tells about
General Ignatieff. The General was
natural-born fibber AS Sir Horace
puts 1t, "Inaccuracy oozed out Of him, -
and in Constantinople he was known
as "the father of lies" On this occas-
ion he quite surpassed himself Hang
it all, Ignatieff,'' said his colleague,
giving him dig in the ribs, Il believe
you're the most unmitigated liar that
ever was born!' you flatter me, my
dear fellow" replied the General, with
a laugh, but then you've never met

BUILDING For BEATTY.

Some days ago Mr.. Edward M. Shep-
ard of New York delivered an interest
ing lecture on the Uses of the Beau
tiful in City and Village Administra-
ton" The central idea in the address
was: Beauty is fitness; ugliness is in
efficiency" He contrasted American
cities, most of which were built by
rule of thumb and with a view only to
commercial uses, with certain cities Of
pie will travel thousands of miles to
see them. Paris, Florence and Rome
are examples of cities beautiful. New
York is more populous than Paris, but
in comparison with the French capital
New York is ugly. Washington will
eventually be a beautiful city, one of
the handsomest in the world, but there
remains much to be done to it before it
will merit that distinction.
Every important building, and espe-
cially every public building, should be
designed with an eye to its symmetry
and beauty. 1t should not be merely
a pile of material divided into rooms.
All attempt NC AlciuS " Ilelt lllSIl-
ize it with the surroundings, so as to
form a pleasing picture for the eye.
Streets should be laid out with a view
to grace and harmony, and trees, grass
and shrubs should be planted wherever
space will permit. Whatever tends to
disfigure the view should be prohibited,
if possible. Garish signs making hide
Gus the sides of buildings are eye
sores. Tin signs tackled everywhere
are highly Objectionable Telegraph
and telephone poles loaded with wires
are unsightly and often a menace in
case of fire.
In this city, happily, we are steadily
working towards beauty. There is still
great deal to be done, to be sure but
we have here the ground work for a
beautiful city and we are gradually
taking advantage of it. We have buried
the wires in the business part of the
town and have gone into a systematic
propagation of trees, grass, shrubs and
flowers. There is probably not a city
in the country whose streets look
fresher and more cheerful than those of
Savannah, due to the green of the trees
and grass plots. No care that is given
to beautifying the city is wasted. 1t
is an investment that gives most graf
flying returns.

His Valuable Buttons,

William Jennings Bryan has brought
back from Europe a story about the
eldest of the Barons Rothschild, saws
an exchange.
This nobleman, according to the
story was entertaining at dinner a
distinguished party. The dinner went
on admirably. Nothing marred the
general enjoyment save the silly To-
quacity of one young man.
This young man insisted on rnonop-
olizing the conversation. He insisted
on talking about himself-about his
books, his work, his love affairs, his
automobile.
Finally he jumped to his feet.
by Jove!" he said, 81 must show
you all my new cuff buttons. 1 got
them this morning. They are mala-
chite."
And he passed from one guest to
another, exhibiting the buttons, which
were neither beautiful, nor costly, nor
in any way out of the ordinary.
''Malachfte," he kept repeating.
Genuine malachite."
Baron Rothschild watched the young
manis progress with faint sheer.
When the buttons reached him he
touched them with his finger supercili-
ously, and dTawled:
"Ah, malachite, Ell? It is a hand
some stone. I have always liked it.

THE BOY.

Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M.
Shaw has come forward as the cham
pion of the boy. He assumes that the
boy is an ill-used creature, whose in
herent rights are not respected.
There is no place for the boy" he
says. "The boy is worth more than
any other creature that treads the
earth, yet far more than any other
thing in the world, think, there is
less place for him. Now, don't misun-
derstand me. He is less welcome any
where than others: there are less
kind words for him than anybody else.
am not saying that the lad meas
ures up to the standard Of the girls
life. / will grant you that We are
raising a very much better type of
young women than we are young men.
But we are none the less interested
in the young men, none the less inter-
ested in the boy. From morning to
night it is stop it. and don't do this
and don't do that and don't come in
here with your muddy feet"
That all sounds fine and sympa-
thetic, but as a matter of fact it is
pure sophistry. Nobody denies that
the boy is worth his weight in gold;
nobody denies that the future is in his
keeping and that it is OF utmost i'm
portance that he should be brought up
to make the right sort of a man. 1t
is for that very reason that repres-
sion is brought to bear upon the boy.
That is why he is told Don't, don't,
don't" from morning till night. For,
If the rugged truth must be told, the
boy is born full of savage instincts.
During the first five years of his life
these instincts are latent; he is then a
baby, to be petted and coddled and
kissed. After five years the savage that
is in him begins to develop, If he is
boy with good, red blood in his
veins. He begins by slapping the
baby, or going into a passion if he does
not get everything he wants. Then
he acquires a liking for twisting the
tails of cats, tying cans on the tails
of friendless dogs, robbing bird nests.

suffering pain, breaking furniture and
china, and doing a hundred and one
other things that he ought not to do.
Unless curbed. he grows saucy, dirty,

To civilize the young savage is the
duty. care and pride of the loving
parents. That is why there is a sue

Just to convince you that what is
worth having is worth asking for and
that one never knows what one can
accomplish until one tries. let me tell
you a true story, says Willis Brooks
in the Brooklyn Eagle. A friend of
mine, a literary man who has achiev-
ed far more than fortune, enjoys the
personal acquaintance and complete
confidence of Andrew Carnegie. In
deed, Mr.. Carnegie thinks so much OF
him that he does a great deal OF his
idling in my friends company.
The other night
But perhaps it would be better to
repeat the story as my friend told it to
me-
Mr.. Carnegie and 1 were enjoying
our after-dinne cigars alone together"
said he. I'VE were not talking much.
He seemed to be somewhat preoccupied,
so l sat looking into the great open
fire in his library, thinking, as l often
had thought in his presence before, of
how I should feel IL / were rich. Pres
entity spirit of audacity seemed to
possess me AMI almost before l knew
it had said:
Mr. Carnegie, do you know what
million dollars would be to me?'
Before l had time to regret the
foolish remark, Mr.. Carnegie answered:
81 suppose it would make you feel
very rich
"'Rich?' 1 replied, emboldened by his
manner, which gave me hope. Why, a
million dollars, which is nothing to
you would be everything to me. 1t
would set me free, utterly free from
the bondage which now prevents me
from doing my best literary work, and
it would make my life a perfect round
of happiness, since with the income
from $1,000,000 l could do so much good
in the world
Mr.. Carnegie did not speak at once,
but his manner seemed to indicate that
he was more than half inclined to give
me this great fortune. With so much
money almost in my grasp became so
eager to strike while the iron was hot
that 1 went on, saying:
You have something more than
$500, 100000. What would one little mil
lion out of all that amount to?'
"A million dollars is a good deal of
money said Mr.. Carnegie. Have you
stopped to think how much it really
tsp
at certainly is an enormous amount,
l answered. But, oh, the good 1 could
do with it,
Couldn't you get along with half a
million?' he asked.
IF half my hoped-for wealth had
departed, the remainder more than Off
set my disappointment, for 1 was now
practically certain of $4,000
TO be sure 1 said, half a million
would place me individually beyond
the possibility of want for the rest Of
my days In speaking of a million l
was thinking only of those others whom
I might be able TO help
Mr.. Carnegie tapped a bell on the
table and secretary appeared.
Make a check for 100000 to Mr.
-, Said the master of the millions.
THE secretary retired, soon to re-
appear with the check. Mr.. Carnegie
added the little Midas touch which
made it as good as gold, and passed it
over to me.
Il could hardly believe my senses.
1t seemed to me I must be dreaming"
And the strangest part Of It all is, he
was.

Committee announced that Roosevelt
would satisfy the Populists as a presi-

A SETBACK FOR GORMAN,

1t is interesting to notice with what
unanimity the Republican papers say
that the result of the senatorial con-
test in Maryland puts Senator Cor
man out of the contest for the presi-
Dental nomination of his party. This
unanimity is due to the wish Of the
Republicans to have him out of the
contest.
1t is true, of course, that Mr.. Cor
man wasn't friendly to the election
of Mr.. Rayner as senator from Mary
land, though before the contest ended
he advised his friends to support him,
but it doesn't follow that because he
failed to prevent the election of Mr..
Rayner he has lost in any degree his
grip upon his state. 1t is probable that
Mr.. Gorman's opposition to Mr.. Ray
ner was due to his desire to have a
senator from his own state who would
be in harmony with him. 1t is the I'M
Outstanding that Mr.. German and Mr..
Rayner are not the best of friends,
1t is not probable, of course, that Mr..
Rayner will attempt to contest the
leadership Of the Democratic senators
with Mr.. German, but he may an
tagonize him in matters pertaining to
their state. For that reason the cleo
ton of some other man would have
been more satisfactory to Mr.. German.
AS matter of fact. Mr.. Rayner is
a very popular man in Maryland. His
defense of Admiral Schley made him
known to the whole country and en-
deared him to Maryland people, es-
pecially to the people of Baltimore. To
prevent his election to the Senate,
therefore, was a very difficult task,
too difficult for even so astute and
powerful a politician as Mr.. German
is to accomplish.
But there is no good reason for
thinking that Mr. Rayner's election
lessons Mr.. Germans chances for the
presidential nomination. The Demo-
cratic party wouldn't abandon Mr.. Cor
man because of his failure in that mat
ter. OF course his enemies will say
that he has lost his grip in his own
state, and will point to Mr.. Rayner's
election as proof of their assertion, but
a failure of that kind doesn't count for
much in the estimation of those who
understand all the circumstances con-
nected with it. In a very few days
probably the papers that are rejoicing
at his failure to prevent the election
Of Mr.. Rayner will be astonished at
some of the many evidences of Mr..
Germans skill as a political leader. He
isn't political has been" by any
means. Indeed, never before in his ca
reer was he more capable as a politi-
cal leader than he is at the present
time, and of his ability as a leader
there isn't two opinions among either
Democrats or Republicans.

the place is too small for him, and
he wants TO enlarge it, or occupy two
or three places; and if he can keep
them muddy, Uttered and confused, he
likes the situation so much the
better. So far from the boy being
oppressed and denied his proper recog-
milton, he is usually pampered far be-
yond the girl. Notwithstanding the
"don'ts" that keep his ear-drums vi
brant during waking hours. He is per-
mitted privileges that his sister dares
not even request. His faults of omis-
sion and commission are overlooked or
forgiven, because he is mothers dar-
ling" just as certainly as he is the
source of mothers distraction.
But, by sympathetic repression, with
advancing years the boy becomes
transformed into civilized and more
or less agreeable person. Then he UNI
derstands why he was told Don't" so
often. And pretty soon he begins say
ing don't" to and trying to civilize
BOYS of his own.

The First Shall he Last.

exchange. An aged Columbia man the

smile, a skating expedition that in his

skates on than his legs flew UP. and
he came down ON the ice hard. / hur-
