is any satisfaction in such a life is
known only to him, but right thinking
people would not swap all the wealth
Rockefeller has for the few genuine
tears that will be shed over his grave
at the funeral. John ID. may be able
to swing governments, control con-
crosses, and influence judges but those
are not matters which should make
man proud or gay, because to rejoice
in the doing of a wrong thing is wick
edness. And when a man is dead is
it not better to have said of him that
he was a good, sincere man, who
loved his fellow, than to have it
bruited about that his ways were
crooked and his actions questionable?
1t is quite likely that this latest gift
of Rockefeller will meet with some ap-
proval, but even those who are loudest
in the praise will still be doing some
hard thinking and their unspoken
thoughts will counterbalance their
spoken words. In order to make him
self generally and highly respected
Rockefeller will have to do more than
this, and he will find that his future
here depends upon his loosening up
still more.

Sunday school pupils.

ing the last twenty years of his life
and he declined to explain the rea-
sons, although pressed for them. He
was designated by his critics as an
"Anglomaniac" and practically admit
ted n eritine the appellation. But at the
sane time he was doing good work in
uniting the Saxon peoples of this coun-
try and England and the cordial rela-
lions existing between the two nations
are due in a great measure to his
work. He died highly honored and
goes to his last resting place with a
fame that places him among the fore
most of American statesmen, and that
ought to be glory enough for those
left behind who mourn the loss of a
member of the family

John d. Rockefeller has donated ten
millions for educational purposes, to
be apportioned among different insti-
tutions. 1t is fair to presume that
none of them will look upon the money
so given as tainted" and that the
beneficiaries will accept same without
a murmur.
1t is to be hoped that Rockefeller
made this munificent bequest because
of the promptings of inner nature, but
in view of the fact that he has been so
numerically scored of late, it is hard
to believe that desire for better edu-
cational facilities alone prompted the
action. Indeed, there are those who
will prefer to believe that Rockefeller
will expend this vast sum in "squar-
ing himself" with the general public.
Rockefeller Is the richest man in the
world, yet he is doubtless the most
heartily despised. He is a Christian
and Baptist, yet few members of
that denomination love him with that
love that one Christian should feel for
another. On the contrary clergymen
have united in denouncing him and
his methods; magazine writer's have
scored him numerically; editors of
newspapers have paid their respects to
him in language altogether uncompli-
mentary. Nor has there been found in
all America, with the exceptions of a
few business associates, one man to
stand up and declare him a good man.
He is the most unpopular of all unpop.
ular individuals.
With wealth far beyond the widest
dreams of avarice he can command
anything that money can buy, but in.
cluded in this is not the respect of the
people. Public opinion is not a com
modify to be bartered and sold. And
unless, during his later days, he
changes his methods he will doubtless
die less regretted than any man SO
widely known as he is. Whether there

So cid man Mitchell, senator from
Oregon, has been found guilty. 1t
was no more than was expected. The
facts were overwhelming and the de-
Tense had no defense to offer. Senator
Thurston did all he could in his gift
ed way to stem the tide, but the impair
tial jury declined to let eloquence
overcome cold fact and the verdict
was for conviction. An effort will be
made to secure new trial, of course
and every legal remedy will be ex-
hausted, but unless Mitchell dies in the
meantime, we expect to see him COM
mitted to Jail.
In this hour of disgrace and trouble,
we wonder if Mitchell thinks of the girl
he ruined and abandoned back in Penn
sylvania years and years ago, when
his name wasn't Mitchell? Does he
think of the life he might have lived
had he been true to the one who
trusted to him her honor; had he sup
ported the child-now a grown man
and leading attorney of st. Paul-as
he should? Is it not possible that,
looking over the vista of years he re-
grets now that he did not continue as
he started and live a quiet yet honest
life on a farm among the hills, dying
at last respected by his neighbors, in
stead of being pointed out as a national
disgrace by all who have read of his
case? Truly, it seems as if Fate
camps on the trail of the betrayer of
women like shadow, and when the
proper time comes, strikes like an
avenging Nemesis.
There will be little sympathy vast

In the passing of Secretary of State
John Hay, America loses a valuable
citizen. He was a statesman of ability
and a man with a vast fund of expert
ence. His active career began as sec
Rotary to President Abraham Lincoln
who esteemed him highly. He held
the military rank of colonel during the
latter days of the civil war, serving on
the staff of General Hunter Mr.. Hay
was one of the ablest diplomats in the
country, and his work in the office of
the secretary Of state was marked by
distinguished ability. His fund of
knowledge of international law was
immense and he was regarded by the
men of all nations as a man of very
superior ability and attainments. But
the work he performed was of too
strenuous character. The vitality of
the man could not keep up with the de-
mands Of the active mind so he died.
1t is too bad that this should be the
case, for a man like John Hay was en-
titled to spend his declining years in
peace and rest from care, instead of
dying in harness.
In his early life Mr.. Hay was some
thing of poet, and is best known to
literary fame by the compositions:
Jim Bludso," and Little Brooches. u
Both were poems of the people, and
both, although couched in the vernacu

A Test Of evotio n

Two New York girls, near friends,
fell in love with the same young man.
If any one should think for moment
that any censure attaches to him,
let it be said that he was not at
all to blame. The girls are both so
lovely that it is absolutely impossible
for any man who has the use of his
eyes to meet them and not capitulate
at once. They got to comparing notes
the other day. Finally one of the
girls vowed that the young man con-
cerned cared more for her than he did
for her chum, who promptly asserted
that the reverse of the proposition
was true.
They agreed to test it, and soon hit
upon plan. Each was to write the
young man note asking him to call
at certain hour. And, seeing that
he could not obey both commands at
once, it was to be conclusive proof
that the girl whom he favored was
in possession of his heart. After this
they felt better.

Tuberculosis causes annually more
than 10000 deaths in the United
States at the average of 35 years. At
this age the normal after-lifetime Is
about 81 years, so that the real loss
of life covered, measured in time, is
represented by 100000 years per an
mum. If we assume that the net
value of a, year of human life after
the age of IS years is at least $50.
the real loss to the nation resulting
from the disease "a large proportion
of which is known to be- needless)
may be estimated at $240,000,000 per
annum.
These astounding and almost in
comprehensive figures are far from
being an exaggeration, but let us as
sumo that only one-half of this NOR
tality is preventable,. and we have a
net possible saving. to the nation of
$120, 100000 per annum. This esti-
mate does not take into account the
