THE MAN WHO KNOWS HOW

Until the hints of earth stop turning there will be money to measure merit When a lawyer can make $2,O00,O0O in single fee; when doctor can de- mand $50,000 for a twist of his wrist; when violinist can get thousand dollars for playing three tunes in a private parlor, and cook can com mand $12000 year. it must be taken as an incontestable fact that mans earning power will reach no bounds.
 Never before was the world so eX- acting in its demands. or so willing to pay for what it wants. Some of the fees that are paid for consummations so devoutly wished are large enough to send blush to the cheek of the man who invented money. It is all for the Knowing howl Pay me $5 for amputa ting your leg" said Dr George F. Shrady, explaining large fees in the medical profession, 'and S995 for knowing how" Another celebrated physician, practitioner in Paris whose fee of $1,000 was questioned. was not so willing to explain. T haven't time to discuss my fees" he said. Pay" Another surgeon in San Francisco, who had just successfully operated for appendicitis, was pleased to hear his patient say, on recovering from the effects of ether, "1 ,ctor, ac- cept my check for $30,000, with my congratulations upon your knowing how to do the job" The late Senator c. l.. Magee said to Dr Walter c. Browning of Philadelphia q have made $1,000,000 while you kept the breath in my body, and I'm going to give you $150,000 as your fec" J. Pierpont Morgan once said, with char acteristic emphasis. "Give me a man who will do this work, and there'll be no dispute about pay; and it was the late Charles Broadway Rouss who stood ready, to the day he died, to pay $1, 100000 to the man who would cure him of blindness.
 There is a dragnet out in all the varied walks of life for ''the man who knows how" The world stands ready to enrich a person for doing one thing, if he does that one thing well.-Rem- sen Crawford in Success.

FAILED TO FOLLOW THE RULE

A good story is told on young clergyman in the suburbs who was re gently married and who was Froperl! punished for trying to make a Front before his bride.
 1t Is a we'll known rule among cler gymen not to take a fee from a fellow dominic for marrying him. The gen eral custom is. however. for the best man to 20 through the usual form anf present the officiating clergyman witt an envelope containing the fee. Tn. minister then pays a graceful cOmpli ment tO the bride and presents the en velOpe to her. Aware of this custom the young minister thought he wouk make a big showing before his brid. and placed S10O in the envelope. smil ing in anticipation of her surpris. when she should open it and see what her lover was willing to pay for being united to her.
 The young mans consternatfon car be imagined when the other clergy man calmly T,ocketed the envelope and made m movement to return it. Ths officiating minister had heard zlowins reports of the rich bride his youns friend was getting and decided thsi the fee would do him more good than the newly married couple. and there fore for once departed from the usus rule The bridegroom is still sor, about the s1nO. bHt the joke uas to- good for the best man 10 keep fo him self.-Philadelphia Record.

PLEA FOR FOOLISH VIRGINS.

When John D. Rockefeller, Jr, en- countered the parable about the fool. ish virgins who had no oil in theft lamps, which was the lesson of the day for his Bible class. every membe: leaned forward with interest to hear what a Rockefeller would say about the folly of improvidence as illustrated in lack of oil.
 And the foolish said unto the wise,'" quoted Mir Rockefeller from Matthew: 25:S-9, "'Give us of of your oil. for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying: Not so, lest there be not enough for us and you; but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
 Mir Rockefeller forcefully presented the lesson that is taught in this para ble. and said that the wisdom of being prepared for an emergency could not be more strikingly presented than in the case of the foolish virgins who had failed to buy enough oil. When he had finished. and it was time for little talks from the members at large. one, who had a record for raising diseord, arose and asked But suppose the price of oil was so high that they couldn't procure it?'
 Mir Rockefeller called for the sing. ing of hymn, saying that he had un- consciously taken up too much time, and adding that the usual offertory would be skipped.-Suecess.

THE GIRL AND THE WILDCAT.
She Fought It With a Stone and a
 I'ifchfork, and Won.

I'ifchfork, and Won.
 Miss Helen NJ. Gookins, aged 19, who lives with her widowed mother on ranch near Neena cn postoffice, in the Antelope valley country. Tot far from tie northern boundary oes Los Angeles county, and nearly sixty miles north of this city, provel herself to be pos sCssed of more bravery and nerve a few days ago thqn most men caIl t:nhlully boast of, Wholly unnamed, she attacked large wildcat which had crouched as if to spring upon her, and after a desperate fight, dui ing which her clothing was torn by cav and tooth, she killed the dangerous east.
 With her mother Miss Gookins is en. s"yed in raisil 2 .trSnri goats. of which they have a large nerd. During the past month o. n.n:e she noticed that nearly every week several Of tht %oung goats were missing. The foot. hills are infested with bobcats and mountain lions. and the tracks of these animals near the corral told the fate of the kids. A neighbor shot sev- eral wildcats near there, but still the raids upon the goat flock continued.
 Tuesday Miss Gookins mounted a mule to go to the home of neighbor, several miles from the ranch house Instead of taking the road she decided on short cut across country. AS she was going up a hill short distance from deserted house in which she and her mother formerly lived, the mule gave evidence of fright and re- fused to proceed. For a time Miss Gookins could see nothing to alarm the animal, which continued Co snort and try to go back along the trail. Th' barring young woman dismounted, hitched the mule and went on foot to investigate. She did not even have a riding whip. .E.
 AS she approached a small tree over hanging the trail she saw wildcat on one of the lower branches. It snarled and spat at her, but did not retreat. Instead of running Miss Gookins made a detour and approached the tree and cat from the hill above Thinking to frighten it she. hurled a large stone with all the force that her strong arms could exert at the cat. She struck the animal 'squarely on the head, knocking it from the tree and stunning it for a moment. Then she ran to the aban- tloned house in search of weapon. She found an old two-pronged pitch. fork, both points had been broken of, and returned. She tried to stab the cat to death with the fork, but the blunted prongs were not sharp enough to penetrate the tough hide
 The animal fought fiercely. but she managed to pin it down by holding the fork, upon its throat. She showed 1t down hill toward an old gate. nearly POO feet away. Several times the claws of it's hind feet struck the young woman's skirt. cutting long slashes. Near the gate she found bar of iron. and with that she beat the wildcat to death. Then she tied the body of the animal to her riata, and attaching tho other end to her saddle, dragged it home.-Los Angeles Times.

One of the most bitter attacks ever made in the senate upon the president was delivered by Senator Tillman this week. It dealt particularly with the Santo Domingo treaty and in general with what MT Tillman termed "the usurpation of authority" by the exec utive. The president was warmly de tended by Senator Spooneg and the result was what might he termed il drawn battle with no result except to show that the president and some of his policies have warm opponents in the south. Senator T1llman said that he would admit the president was a patriotic man from his own point of view. but that when he once conceiv- ed an idea he did not let law. prece- dent nor the constitution stand in the way of carrying 1t out. As 10 the Santo Domingo treaty. Senator Till man said that the president simply waited till he got congress of his hands and then went to work carrying out his pet idea as to the solution of the Sanro Domingan trouble.

The old question of reducing the southern representation on account of the Acknowledgement of some of the negroes in the south. was again brought up this week by MT Bennett of New York, the north always taking the lead in settling the aeer6 problem which it is very easy to do, being fur ther from the scene of action. MT Bennett's bill provides for the reduc, ton of southern representation from 3S6 to 351 ard would divide the re- duction as follows: Alabama from g to 5, Arkansas from to 5, Florida from to 2, Georgia from II to 6. Louisiana from [ to 4, Mississippi from to 3, North Carolina from 10 to :, South Carolina from to 3. Tennes- see from 10 to s. Texas from 16 to 13, and Virginia from 10 to :. It is not likely, however, with the press of otiI- CT legislation, that the bill will get very serious consideration.

KING OSCAR A GENIAL HOST.

Although the people of Norway have decided to cut away from Sweden, they have little against King Oscar as a democratic individual. He is a tall, erect, handsome old gentleman, court ly and kind in manner, and is, per haps, the most approachable monarch. Several years ago, while aboard his yacht Drott, in northern waters. a party asked permission to go. aboard. It was courteously granted.
 King Oscar, in greeting his visitors, said: "I fear I cannot show you such a yacht as you have shown me this morning. but she is comfortable enough for an old gentleman, and I have spent twenty two happy summers on her.
 To a journalist in the party the king granted few minutes conversation. and his first question, in perfect Eng fish, was: You have a great many of my countrymen in your northwestern territories. What sort of citizens do they maker" ss.
 The best we have, your majesty"
 Smiling. and thinking for fegv Dio. ments, he remarked: 'Is that the truth, or Is it a newspaper mans diplo matic answer?"
 Not long ago King Oscar was sitting in the smoking room of WiesbadeI hotel where group of gentlemen were discussing the questions of the hour strikes. socialism. communism, the revolutionary tendencies of the time, etc. One of the party. expatiating upon his pet theories with considera- ble vehemence, wound up with the re- mark. ''The days of monarchies are numbered
 King Oscar looked up and smiled.
 Evidently you don't agree with me-" resumed the speaker: but can you give me any good reasons for thinking otherwise?'
 "Only one-I am the king of Swe den,' he replied.-Success.

Speaker Cannon says the house of representatives in Washington is the only place where the voice of the ma jority of the people without interven- ing machinery may directly express itself. In this statement he made q fling at the senate not without malice, but within an hour the house made these words mockery by adopting rules making the speaker and two as sociates the dictators of the house. In other words, they created an inter yening machinery" whereby the voice of the people is prevented from ex- pressing itself.

When German ship, the Panther, arrested an alleged deserter in Brazil she performed an act that may lead to very serious consequences. The act cannot, perhaps. be brought within the scope of the Monroe doctrine, unless our administration proposes to still further demonstrate the elasticity of this doctrine The Germans. 1t ap- pears, did not attempt to occupy Bra zilian territory, but the act was in the highest degree offensive and has re- suited in great irritation.
