Repaid With Interest.

Both were well dressed, pros
porous looking and apparently at
peace with all the world as they
rode to business on a street car
this morning. The car was full,
and as il slowed up on APPROACH
ing a street crossing one Of the
men rose and, with an informal
Good morning" to his cOmpan-
ion, started for the door.
HJust a minute. TOM" called
the first. And as Tom returned
he leaned forward and whispered
How far would you have been
if I had not called you?"
But the laugh wasn't against
Tom that time, for, as he straight
ened up with dignifed air and
again made for the door, he re-
piled, in voice clearly audible at
the far end Of the car:
''Sorry, old fellow: but / can t
spare it. And, besides, you know,
YOU haven't paid me the last flyer
YOU borrowed yet?"
The laugh that went round the
car was too much for Tom s
friend, and he finished his jour.
! ney on the back platform.

THE BOY PROBLEM.

During the present season OF
the Teachers Institute the boy
problem was one of the topics OF
discussion, and it was the unanl-
nous opinion of most all teachers
that the proper way to control the
bow while attending school was to
keep him busy; keep his mind oc-
cupied, which, in our opinion, IS
the correct theory.
At one of the recent Sunday
meetings of the Newsboys' asso-
citation in New York City, one OF
the speakers said quite forcibly,
"Boys 60 to the bad in gangs, but
they are reclaimed slowly, one by
one." This truthful and striking
observation gives a clue to the
boy problem that some Of the
more sensible of those who are
working on it have been quick to
take up.
The expert teacher knows that
the way to have no bad boy prob
lem in her school is to keep the pu-
pills proftably busy all the time
they are under her care, and to
keep them doing something that
shall impress them with a sense
of it's Importance and its intimate
relation to important things. The
boy who is bad is so usually mere
ly because of an overplus Of en-
ergy commonly misdirected. This
riotous resource needs only to be
harnessed to be directed, and it
becomes as powerful for good as
it was formerly for evil.
The boy is but reservoir OF en-
ergy, which must and will express
itself some way-how, is largely
to be determined by environment
and opportunity. No boy will
ever become good merely by pro-
hibiting him from doing evil, or
putting him under a restraint to
which he himself does not assent.
Before the boy can be helped he
must be understood, and the best
way to understand him is to keep
up with him in growth from
babyhood, and to follow him and
be companionable with him at all
times.
The future comes surprisingly
quick to boys in our forcing COM
pick life. Don't let the little boys
grow away from you, and the big
ones never will. The way to keep
the boys from going wrong in
gangs IS to fill the gangs with the
leaven of good influence, intro
duced through a kindly sympathy
in boy life. Get the leaders among
the boys to work usefully and
helpfully, get next to them, and it
becomes then as easy for the gangs
to 60 right as wrong. And what
is true of boy life and treatment
is as true of the girls. Compan-
ionship ''bien. comaraderie," as
the French put it, between par
ents, and their children will elm
mate the boy problem.

Cramer says that he intended only

accumulated between that city
and Parkersburg. Capt. Laidley
is the man who announced several

was the one man who could unite

was Tile Ouc HAL WIN Couio ohieS
the party AS for the strength
of the man, to show how deeply
the New York Democrats feel
about his availability and ability,
I recall a statement made at st.
Louis by one of the first lawyers
in New York. Some one in the
company, speaking in qualified
terms of APPROVAL of Judge Park
er as 'more available than
great" this lawyer said: "You
do not know the man. 1t is his
great ability that makes him
available. For years in New York
we have drifted without a leader.
The Democracy of that State will
not follow any but an able man.
Those of us who know Judge
Parker we'll recognize him not
only as a learned jurist, but as
the most far-sighted and clear
headed and courageous public
man in New York. He has all the
GOODNESS, alertness, knowledge
and power of organization that
characterized Tilden, and he has
a courage that is beyond all
praise"
Mr.. Daniels, the North Carolina
editor, found in his personal en-
counter that Judge Parker was a
man among men, and to possess
that invaluable thing which is
called tact.
When you look at Judge Parker
for the first time the feeling you
have is, "Here is a man who is
master of himself" He has
equipoise. He will never 60 off
"half-cocked." He is a man of
reserve power, quick to catch a
point, quick to speak, but he
weighs his words. You do not see
his scales. He does not seem to
weigh them, but when you look
into his eyes you see that he is a
man who takes in everything it
rests upon and accurately. He is
cordial, but never effusive. The
one term that describes him is
master of myself am l." You
would need to look to see him 60
into any movement without delib-
Grafton, and, when enlisted, you
would find that he had enlisted
"for the war" He has the bear
ing of judge, mingled with the
grace of a self-contained pleader
of the old school. He knows men
and has the tact o draw them out.
Within an hour he was introduced
to fifty members of the National
committee. Most Of them he had
never seen before, but he spoke to
each about something that showed
the Judge knew of him-knew his
occupation, his service to the
party, or something about him
that removed all the barriers and
made a common ground of inter-
est.
The country needs to be intro
duced to the Democratic candi-
date. and now for his looks. You
will get little idea of Judge Parker
from his pictures. He cannot be
well photographed. He is ruddy

Gel. Grigsby
Up fer Bribery

A Washington special states that
the department of justice has
about completed the evidence in
the charges against col. Melvin
Grigsby, of South Dakota, the
United States district attorney at
Nome, and Attorney General Knox
will take decisive action in the
case at an early date.
Sworn statements nave heen filed
stating that Grigsby received $40
900. 90 from the Pioneer Mining CO.
as the price of refraining from
prosecuting the company. Grigsby
is making a strong fight, but up to
the present time the department
officials have not been satisfied of
his innocence. He admits he re
ceived the money but claims it was
paid to him as counsel for the
company, 1t being customary for
United States attorneys to engage
in private practice along with their
other duties.
1t appears from information OBJ
tanned by the special agents that
when Grigsby landed at Nome on
certain Saturday in the summer
of 1902 he Immediately met repre-
sentatives of the Pioneer Mining
CO. On the following Monday
Grigsby appeared in his official
capacity in the federal court IN
connection with a case for the com.
pany. A few days later and before
the judgment in this case was
handed down, the SIo,ooo.oo Gre
tainer" was paid over to Grigsby,
The department can't understand
why the mining company should
have paid Grigsby $40, 10000 for
legitimate legal services when it is
shown by testimony and records in
the case that another lawyer had
for some time been the company's
attorney and that he was acting in
that capacity at the time and that
the company did not shave an un-
usual amount of legal business at
the time.

dismissal last year on account OF

tor the winter despite the specific
orders of the attorney general.
Aside from the disobedience no
charges against the district attor-
