ENVIRONMENT A MOULDER OF
CHARACTER.
BY II. 5. BlGELOW.

The other day l saw a group of boys
carefully scanning theatre poster.
The picture showed a man in the act
of plunging a dagger in the throat of
a woman. The boys did not run or
scream. But their eyes were big and
the intensity of their faces showed
that the horror of the picture was not
lost upon them. Near by were two
younger children playing together in
the gutter. Their faces were smeared
with the mud made by the dish water
running over the sidewalk, and the
children were amusing themselves
floating cigar stumps in the disgusting
pool.
Refecting upon that sad sight there
came to mind other childhood scenes.
There stood out in memory q little lake
that nestled among the hills where
sweet-breathed cattle browsed and
where the branches of great trees were
mirrored in crystal waters. There
were the boathouse and the swimming
hole and the spring board; and there
were summer nights, too, when the
leaves were still and stars were bright
and the spirit of the child looked up in
silent wonder.
In the race Of life, in the contest of
physical endurance, in the moral tests
that come, that child has not a fair
chance who has sprung out of the mud
of. the streets.
To know the breath of lilacs and the
rustic Of autumn leaves, to be up with
the lark, to wet ones feet in the dew
of the pasture, to go to bed with the
song Of the whip-poor-will-these men,
ories are like guardian angels.
The children whose horizon is a
brick wall, who must play on cobble
stones and go swimming in the canal
and be chased by the police, if they do
not grow up to be ideal citizens, shall
we, of holier memories, sit in judg-
ment upon them? Shall we not remem-
ber their bonds?

ING THE SHOW COMBINE A
FIGHT FOR ITS LIFE.
Threatened With Extinc ton, He Has
Organized an Opposition Which
Has Attracted Some of the Bright

David Belasco for number Of
years has been waging a war against
the theatrical trust. He has beer
assisted in years past by Minnie Mad
dern Fiske, the wife of Harrison Grey
Fiske, owner and editor of the Dram

THE REAL HEART OF THINGS

that paralyzed her activities and al
most killed her poor. Manufacturers

Side"paid ten cents for as much coal
as would fill a quart pail The suf-
fering in this city was out of all pro-
portion to that of the rest of the coun-
try.

outside. New York uses three million
eggs every day, and beef arrives in
whole train loads daily. The city must

city dweller are continually giving rise

of course. Every wildcat scheme
that is hatched in New York, from
Wall Street to Madison Square, in
augurates its proceedings by send
ing circulars into the country, to
catch the dollars of the farmer.
The operations of the stock ex-
change are all based on the cOndi-
ton of the country. A short wheat
crop, a slump in the production of
grain, or the prospect of one, turns the
floor of the Exchange into a pande-
monium. Year 10y year the eyes Of the
moneyed interests are turned to the
earth, fguratively speaking, and the
keenest minds of the metropolis are
specializing as to what success the
farmer is going to have with his crops.
The results Of that speculation involve
millions of dollars. All the country
knows what happens in New York
when the cotton crop fails. The beef
strike last year caused meat to van
ish from a million family dining
tables i'm New York city. In summer
eggs at 35c dozen are too expensive

the city's population.

REAL HEART OF THINGS.
Its Found Not in the Great Cities
But in-Country Homes.


SIN time the great cities may be-
come dominant, but it will be many
years hence, and l would be sorry
should 1 live to see the day." said
James j. Hill, President Of the Great
Northern railroad. "The national well
fare depends upon the prosperity Of
the farm lands, the mining districts,
the lumber camps-not on the growth
of big cities. The agricultural inter-
ests in particular represent the great
est strength of the country, and will
for many years to come.
Yet men stand appalled, at the spec
tacle of a metropolis. Let us take
New York, as our most striking ex-
ample-where the visitor gapes at the
crowded markets, the endless traffic,
the hurrying throngs, the skyscrapers,
the roaring factories, the hustle of
commerce, all the urban reek and
riot, and Needless of what lies behind,
the hidden motor power, cries:
Here Is the heart of things; here is
the pulse of the national life; here the
life blood of the nation centers, life
blood which, flowing through the veins
of commerce, gives vigor to all the
land" New York, the heart Of the
country? Rather New York the par
asite-the blood sucker.
A Giant Exhibition.
At best New York is but a monster
exhibit of the products of mines,
farms, cattle ranges, mills and factor
les, and of the rural homes where gen.
ius is born, nourished and inspired.
What more speaking symbol of these
things than the city's skyline. In it.
self that skyline of marvellous archi-
lecture, save as it eXcites wonder, ad-
miration and a sense Of enterprise and
activity amounts to nothing. What it
signifies in each ascention and depres-
sion is the comparative values of the
country's material resources.
Concisely, it represents capital, la
bor and raw material. OF these three
the city produces not one-in appreci-
able quantity. The raw material, the
men to handle it, the gold to buy and
sell the finished product, come out of
the ground and from the open spaces.
New York, Chicago, st. Louis, or
any other city, has its inception in the
open country, and it's existence is and
ever will be dependent upon the latter.
None recognizes this more quickly
than the city man. He knows from
experience that the city suffers first,
last and most from any national dis
aSter. To 60 no further back than the

Worse Than Tobacco Cigarettes.

London is reported to be in the throes
Of a new vice-a vice which is not only
getting society into q turmoil, but is
also attracting the attention Of the
medical fraternity. 1t is the tea-leaf
cigarette habit-one in which women
are becoming the chief adopts, and
which they find great difficulty in over
coming. Once the taste for the new
weed" is acquired, it is said the SEN
sation of smoking tea cigarettes is
quite pleasant. Dizziness is caused by
constant smoking and the victims
clutch madly for invisible and
imaginary objects to support them
selves. They finally drop in an ex-
hausted and stupefied condition, and
then follows that wild state of dream
land said to be as varied as that caused
by powerful narcotics.

Fortunes in Church SteeDIes.

1t is the opinion of Rev. DR.. Forbes,
Secretary of the Board of Extension
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
that enough money has been expended,
or 1t may be said wasted, i'm building
steeples, to pay off all the church debts
OF the country. Besides, he says,
steeples are a relic of barbarism, and
money used in their construction can
be more usefully expended. A good
many people will hardly agree with
the reverend doctor in his opinion that
church steeples are useless or serve no
good end. Grace and beauty are lent
to thousands of otherwise common
place looking towns and cities by the
spires rising here and there from their
midst. Everything cannot be strictly
utilitarian, and If q thing serves to
please the eyes and senses of hundreds
or thousands of people, 1t is far from
being useless.

a Story on BaLzac.

The French alienist, Esquirol, on
being asked by a student, is there any
sure test by which the sane can be
distinguished from the insane? invited
his questioner to dine with him and
observe. When the student entered
the dining room two other guests were
present one an elegantly-dressed
and apparently highly educated man,
while the other was somewhat un-
couth, noisy and extremely con-
ceited. AS the pupil bid his host
good night, he remarked: "The prob
lem is very simple after all the quiet,
well-dressed gentleman is certainly
distinguished in some line, but the
other is evidently a lunatic, and
ought TO be locked up at once"
Smiling at his pupil, Esquirol told him
that he was wrong. 1.-The quiet we'll

Cities Not Self-Dependent.

Not only is she dependent upon the
open spaces for men, material and
money, but even for trade. AS COM
pared to the amount of money spent
in this city by out of town buyers, the
sum expended by its own inhabitants
dwindles into insignficance. In recog-
milton Of this, the Merchants Associa-
ton of New York annually arranges
with railroads for cheap transporta-
ton, and with hotels for rock bottom
rates, and runs excursions to gather
in the Out-of-town buyers.
During the month of August over
400 buyers from the south and west
were in New York, and during Septem-
ber this number largely increased.
Reckoning under the average of past
years each merchant spent more than
$4,000, and thus through the efforts
Of the Merchants Association alone
more than $400000,00O is left in the
city each year. But this is merely a
fraction of the trade which the city
receives from the rest Of the country

gross income at $1,250,000,

Prehistoric Sculpture.

An idea Of the small brain capacity
of primitive man can be gathered
from a crude stone head, now on ex-
hibition, which was recently found
in field at Moriches, Long Island.
The head, while crude in its work
manship, is pronounced by ethnolo-
gists as doubtless true to nature
representation of some savage and
prehistoric people who lived ages ago.
The head is not particularly pleas
ing bit of sculpture as it calls up n
vision Of men and women with small
brain development and huge repulsiye
jaws but a degree above the other
animals.
