A Statue to QuaV

The Pennsyv an legislature has voted to erect statue
in the capitol grounds to the late Senator Quay.
One is reminded Of Lncon's saying to the effect that
that of thing will suit the sort Of people who like that
sort of thing
Pennsylvania is queer country.
Doubtless it's legislators anomaly in the sugges
on but rather consistency And presumably the proposed
statue reflects the desire of majority of the people of
Pennsylvania ideal statesman living, death change
the idea The state honored him in lfe death should
he be the recipient of dshonor?
The Legislators logical.
Just what to be the inscription is not ntimated Some
mighty bad things charged against Quay when he
was alive some things that have been denied Why
not select his most shining virtue public man and
it the pedestal that shall support the bronze
Suppose this:
Here lies the Consummate Political Boss of His {:
Times-Pennsy lvania's Pride
And shall the school children of the state be educated
in the history and philosophy of the doctrine of spos
And so shall the golden age Of Pennsylvania appear.
Quay is dead.
Let us cover his faults with the mantle Of charity.
But what is to be said of state that delights to bazen
is venaity which walows in the glory of historic bosssm

The House of Gould

( 1t is difficult to account for the Goulds-George and
Heen-on the of heredity. Lacking himself how
did the railroad wrecker to endow his children with
character? Or did they inherit from the mother?
No woman of America has done more good, given more
unsefsh service, than Helen Gould. And no
mands sincere regard.
George is also revised and greatly improved edition
of the elder Gould He is cherubm perhaps. But he
has exhibited some fine traits of character
This is an instance
Mr.. Gould, had until recently, president of the Wa
bash railway who sought every to make meney for
his employer-a audabe embiton But in his desire for
profits he went too far and Mr. Gould asked for his
nation.
After long Struggle the Wabash railway secured an
entrance into Pttsburg. The company built handsome
station in the city, In arranging accommodations the Wa
bash president provided handsome bar and applied for
license to sell liquor The exclusive privilege was worth
several thousands year to the railroad company.
When Mr. Gould heard of the arrangements says a
Pittsburg paper, he twas furious. He elegraphed to
Pittsburg have the license revoked and to abandon the
enterprise.
Rather surprising.
Mr.. Gould, like his father before him, enjoys money
making There big money in the saloon scheme Few
persons would ever known the Wabash engaged in the
business What would the elder Gould have done?
But it seems George has conscience that is rather
more than rudimentary Also ideas of decacy He
is a little choice in his methods
Old Jay Gould had neither quick conscience good
taste.

both these qualities

FOUND LONG LOST CHILD
DOING SINGING TURN ON
SAN FRANCISCO STAGE

SAN FRANCISCO, May 17.-After
travelling the world over for six years
in search of his infant son, Paul Ker-
shoff, a wealthy resident of New
York, found him recently in San
Francisco singing at a local place
of amusement on Amateur Night"
Six years ago Kershoff's wife left
him, taking with her her little son,
then about years old. Her disap-
pearance was of such a mysterious
character that in spite of the diligent
efforts of various detective agencies.
no trace of Mrs. Kershoa or the child
could be had. Some time ago, how
ever, Kershoq received word that the
mother had left her baby in this city.
Every means that wealth and infiu-
ence could command was exerted to
locate the boy, but in vain.
Kershoff spent month after month
on the coast following even the faint

tenor will now sing"
There was a little delay. and then
the big audience broke into shrill,
discordant teers A ragged little ur-
chin, pale and trembling, dragged
himself, in shoes much too big, across
the stage. He stood NUT with pa
thetic droop of the head, before the
countless number of hooking eyes.
Casting a tmid. beseeching look
around, his eyes lit on the leader of
the orchestra, who smiled encourage
ment to him.
The musicians began to play the
Introductory bars of his song. The
music seemed to recall the child's
courage and nerve his trembling legs.
AS the last note of the plaintive pre-
Jude died away a pure, boyish voice,
slightly tremulous at first, took up
the melody. All the pent-up love of
little heart was poured into the
music that now rose clear and sweet
and thrilled the single heart of the
thousands who listened with moisten-
ed eyes
From his seat in the box which
he and his friends occupied, Paul

the pale. wan face of the little singer.
He left the box abrutiy and made his
way to the stage entrance.
There was deafening applause. at
the end of the song, and shower
Of silver fell at the feet of the boy.
He made his way to the wings, where
he was met by Kershoff, who eager
ly questioned him as to his home and
parents. The child's reply brought
the arms of his father around him.
He was pressed to heart that had
hungered for so many years.

offer he could scarcely refuse. so in
| 1901 he hung his cap on an Ann Ar

an eleven worth while.
The material Yost found was not

| though as whole the squad was
fairly good When the 1901 foot ball
season closed, that squad was the
| finest piece of football mechanism the
west has ever known. Its equal
has never been encountered since, and
| 1t made the name of Yost famous In
all parts Of the country.
Since 1901, Yost has turned out
| three successive winning teams, bu,
| neither of the trio was as good as
the wonders Of 1901. They have never
been defeated, and have BEEN played

the speed Yost demands of his teams

he is pretty sure to make the team

street with his best girl. but TINS

Through his forceful personality
| Yost gets a wonderful hold upon his
men. His two chief characteristics
as n coach are shown by the nick
name of Hurry Up" and his eVei
present smile.
Yost favors an open game. Tean
work, variety of play and speed are
the qualities he seeks. His teams
have been so marked by their versa

has always been considered bettei
