them with high order of intelli-

man who has, attributably, sense

serves it's readers with such non

carry the express inference that
the legislature is now in session
for no other purpose than to elect
a United States senator and that as
long as the selection of this official
is delayed the members are
"squandering" daily $1,000 of the
peoples money. Our friend of
the Dem. News knows, as does
every wcll-informed man, that the

Why Men Die.

1t has been said that few men
die of old age, aud that almost all
persons die of disappointment,
personal, mental or bodily toll or
accident. The passions kill men
sometimes very suddenly. The
common expression ''choked with
rage" has little exaggeration in it,
for even though not suddenly ia
tai, strong passions shorten life.
Stong-bodied men often die young.
Weak men live longer than the
strong, for the strong use their
strength, and the weak have none
to use; the latter take care OF
themselves, the former do not. As
it is with the body, so it is with
the mind and the temper-the
strong are apt to break, or like the
candle, run; the weak burn out
The inferior animals, which live
temperate lives, have generally
their prescribed term of years
Thus the horse lives twenty-five
years, the OK from fifteen to twen
ty, the lion about twenty, the ho:
ten or twelve, the rabbit. eight
the guinea-p pig six or seven. Th'
numbers all bear proportion t.
the time the animal takes to grow
to its full size. But man, of al

One of the best indications Of
the advancement of the American
people toward the adoption of
so-calIcd socialism lies in the fact
that this question is being taken
up by the country press. Metro
politan papers, weighted down
with the clog of their commercial
izcd policy, are still quiet upon the
subject. and will lie until the co,ln
try press has shaped public opin-
ion to the general acceptance of

Fhe longer the senatorial con
test hangs on up at jefferson City
the surer it becomes that the fight
was instigated by Democrats
with but one purpose in view-to
return Missouri to the Democratic
column at the next election. The
only remarkable thing about it.,
however, is that Republicans have
willingly lent themselves to this
scheme.

Musical Training for Children.

TO the person who gives any
thought at all to the matter it
seems a strange condition of affairs
that so many parents who can well
afford it fail to give their children
the benefits of musical training.
This is doubtless due to variety
of causes. Many parents fail to
appreciate the real value of 4
musical education in the proper
training Of their children. The
ability to sit down at a piano and
render some Of the old and new
masterpieces of melody with some
degree of understanding is an &C
complishment much desired by
young people, when they enter
their own particular social sphere
in life, and the lack of it has caus-
ed many hidden regrets. One has
but to inquire among his or her
younger acquaintances to hear eX-
prcssion> of sincere regret that in
childhood they were not given Il
musical training.

VALUE OF A PEDIoREE.

In one Of the towns Of upper Michigan
is the president OF a railroad that is sew.
eral removes. from the trunk line, says
the Detroit Free Press
AS horse trader he is of the type Of
David Harum, and thinks its perfectly
"Christian" to get the better Of the Other
fellow. Not long since he sold a road
ster to a farmer near the place, receiving
$175. One day last week the farmer
dropped into the presidents Office, and
casually inquired whether that official
really thought the horse worth the mon
ey paid for it.
"Not trying to rue bargain, are you,
81 ?" replied the president. "That horse
is worth $500 to man who drives as
much as you do. If needed one at all
you couldn't have bought him at any
figure"
Wouldn't $500 be little steep for
him."
"Not bit of it, He's got better ped
igree than many 2.20 horse; he can
keepup fine gait all day and he's gentle
as kitten. There isn't better horse
in the State for road work, and don't you
touch less than $500 for him."
"Well, | won't"
Then the farmer wlnked at couple o!
men who had been listening, and laid a
paper before the president
"How did this happen, SIP" STAN
mered the president.
"Them men o. your that were haulin'
ties across my place left the fence down,
the horse got on the track and freight
train done the rest"
"But your claim for $3.50 is ridiculous
Wen contest il"
But when ST griDned from ear to ear
and when the two men laughed uproari-
ously, the president blushing, announced
that he would have the matter adjusted
in accordance with the claim.
