COMPENSATION.
All Things Are To Be Had 1t One
VIII Pay the Equivalent.

Life consists almost entirely OF
buying, selling, paying. There are
no gifts, nothing that does not call
for an equivalent If we cannot pay
for gifts in kind we must pay III
gratitude or service or we shall rank
as moral bankrupts.
If | would have a good situation |
must pay for it not only in labor,
but in promptness, intelligence faith
fulness and good manners. II |
would have good service | must pay
not only in money, but in considera-
tion. recognition, appreciation, ta1r-
ness. l can hold no one to me II
I misuse him.
All things are to be had for the
buying. Would you have friends:
Then pay the price. The price OF
friendship is to be worthy of friend
ship. The price of glory is to do
something glorious. The price OF
shame is to do something shameful.
Friendship, glory, honor ,admlra-
ton, courage, infamy, contempt,
hatred, are all in the market place for
sale at a price. We are buying and
selling these things constantly as we
will. Even beauty is for sale. Plain
women can gain beauty by cultiva-
ting grace, animation. pleasant speech,
intelligence, helpfulness, courage or
good will Beauty is not in the fea-
ture alone; it is in the soul also.
Good will buy good will, friend
illness buys friendship, confidence be-
gets confidence, service rewards serv-
ice, and hate pays for hate, suspicion
for suspicion, treachery for treachery,
contempt for ingratitude, slovenli-
ness. laziness and lying.
We plant a shrub, rcsebush, an
orchard, with the expectation that
they will pay us back. We build
roads, mend harness and patch the
roof with the same expectation. We
will trust even theses unconscious
things to pay their debts.
Some of our investments are good
and some are bad The good quail
courtesy. order. patience. candor-
ties we acquire-noderation, industry,
are sound investments. Our evil IN
stitutions and habits are bad invest
menst, involving us in losses. We be-
come debtors to them, and they are
exacting, creditors forcing payment
in full in money or labor and some
times in blood. agony, tears, humilia
ton or shame

THE "STOVEPIPE VERDICT
How n Hopeless Case Was Given 1,
Successful Turn by u For
tuitOus Accident.

1t was a characteristic of a certain
Tennessee colonel that when once his
oratory had begun to flow before the
jury nothing could stop it till the
fount was exhausted. On one occasion
he had just finished tearing his OPP
ponent's argument to tatters when the
court room stovepipe fell with a crash.
There" cried the colonel as the
clouds of SCOT arose, there is a smile
furnished by nature herself! Just as
that stovepipe has come uljointed and
fallen useless to the ground, so my adj
versary's argument has fallen with as
loud a crash. One is not more hollow
than the other, nor more in need of
polish.
"And, gentlemen Of the jury, what
do those clouds of SCOT and smoke re-
semble-those black masses shutting
all they light upon-what do they re-
semble more than the malicious libels,
the black scandals which my adversary
has poured into your ears, and with
which he has ~endeavored to blacken
the character of my client?"
His cas- had seemed hopeless, but
when he had finished the %stovepipe
comparison the jury was converted.
and returned what became famous in
western Tennessee as the "stovepipe
verdict" in favor Of the colonel's
client.

there seemed great popular enthusiasm

Novel Method of Getting Through Art
School by Supplying an
Odd Want.

Il have fabricated my way through
the school with butter" remarked a stu
dent at one Of the art schools of New
York, according to the Sun. 1T may
seem that there's no affinity between art
and butter, but | have joined them,
and have made money at it.

Nov, butter had never impressed me
as a medium for art expression, but
when she mentioned what she was will

couldn't be made to play a part in the
arts.
"On the table at that dinner Shakes
peare doomed up, almost as large as

something of a delusion, because the
butter was only skin deep. so to speak.
Beneath it was common clay. But the
guests were much interested, and soon
afterward | received an order to model

"The dog made a hit, l heard. On the
strength of it l was given a commission
to make Tyres, harps, and so on, for a mu-
steal company who were going to dine
together.
This was the way began as a sculp-
tor in butter. I've made fish for din

a dinner last winter, given in honor Of
a famous man, each guest was confront
ed at his place at the table with a little
pat of butter upon which was a portrait
IN relief of the celebrity whom they
we're honoring.
There was no clay is that butter. It
was meant to be eaten, but was told
afterward that some of the diners said

Once there was a young man who

said, that my intentions are strictly
honorable, and that"

we proceed any further l should like
to ask you a few questions. What are

Heather Business Methods.

Business among the Chinese, accord
.ng to a Russian traveller who has just
returned from Manchuria, is on a COOP
erative basis. There are neither pro-
prietors nor employees, but all who work
in an establishment are partners. From
time to time small allowances are doled
out to them-barely enough to live on
but at the end of the year all the profits
are divided. The Chinese merchants are
SO honest that among all the ten branch
es OF the Russo-C Chinese bank located In
China there has been no record since

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG.

When things go right it isn't hard
To keep a pleasant, cheerful face,
For other folk to have regard
And grant requests with smiling grace
Sometimes fate knocks a man around
And scourges hin with oouble thong
It's not so easy, 1 lave found,
When things go wrong.
When things go right we can agree
With anyone on anything.
There's good in all that we can see
And joyous are the songs we sing.
But leaden grow the dancing feet,
We have to sing another song
And trouble sours our little sweet
When things go wrong.
When things &C right we can be good
And all the Christian virtues show
Do unto others as we would
Be done by-seeds of kindness sow
Still, all my praise 1 will reserve
For him who, battered hard and long
Still keeps his temper and his nerve
When things go wrong.

OFFICE TERM
MAY BE SHORT

Acting Postmaster General Robert J.
Wynne was today made Postmaster
General OF the United States, in success
sion TO the late Henry c. Payne. The
appointment is thought to be temporary
and at the conclusion Of the campaign
Mr.. Wynne VIII probably retire in favor
Of George B. Cortelyou. the present
chairman OF the Republican National
Campaign Committee
The appointment IS in line with the
prediction made in The Times at the
time Of ATr- Payne's death The law re-
quires that IN the event Of a vacancy
Ia the Cabinet it shall be filled by
Presidential appointu eut in thirty days.
This requirement has been compiled
with IN the selection OF Mr. Wynne.
The impression Is current at the White
House that Mr.. COTtelyOu viii not come
into Office before the first OF January.
and possibly not until the end Of the
present Administration 1t is regarded
8s likely that Mr.. Cortelyou upon the
trip 10 Europe, which his arduOus work
win have put him into condition 10 enjoy
and appreciate.
When the appointment Of Mr.. Cor
felyou as Postmaster General Is made
Mr.. Wynue viii return 10 the Office OF
First Assistant. The announcement Of
the appointment OF Mr. Wynue was ac-
companied by the statement that ne
would retire when IL was possible for
Mr.. CortelyOu 20 accept the office. In
the interim the President desired 20 have
some one In charge in whom he had
confidence. and who was familiar with
departmental routine.

RUSSIAN ARMY
ON THE OFFENSIVE

LONDON. Oct. 1O.-The new phase of
the Manchurian campaign that was
fores hadowed IN recent cable dispatches
seems 20 have begun with the abandon
ment OF Kuropatkin defensive tactics
and a general advance against the Jap
auese positions north OF Lao-Yang
There is no official confirmation from
either side Of this movement, but indie
pendent stories from several sources
concur IN stating that such an advance
has commenced. and the issue Of KUr5-
pafkin's stirring address is regarded as
equivalent to confederation.
The criticism most TO be regarded here
views Kuropatkin's altered tactics as
likely 10 lead 10 a comparatively early
decision. The suggestion is made that
Kuropatkin's advance was ordered by
st. Petersburg.
This idea Is based partly on the com
mander-in-chiefs significant mention Of
Port arthur. and partly on the fact that
second army TO Manchuria he appar rent
IS Is about 70 risk everything on an at
tack
The japanese, according 70 a AIukden
telegram. appear 10 be relying upon
holding their position al Liao-Yang and
the hills 70 the eastward OF YentaL
which were kurOki's late battle-ground
They have not yet been seen acting on
the defensive. ana the outcome OF the
next few days operations is awaited

Much for Charity.

TOLEDO, Ohio, oct. 10.-Appraisers
are amazed by investigations into the
financial affairs Of the late Mayor Sam
NJ. Jones. When he became mayor OF
Toledo he owned property worth con-
siderably over 5000. 600. and his holdings
brought enormous returns.
It transpires that he has given away
ia average over 10000 a year. In one
instance giving a single check for $4,000
10 charity. shortly before his death he
destroyed over 200 promissory notes.
ranging IN amounts from $50 20 5000
each. His estate has dwindled TO about
a third OF a million.
Although urged to make a will shortly
before death, he declined, for the reason
that he had no Idea what he was worth
He said he did not know now 20 divide
his property. so HIS heirs and the public
might each get what they were entitled
70. He backed many defalters and de-
linQuents IN sums ranging from S. 70
5000 each and seldom did one of them
make good
