THE UNEASY CHAIR

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF FRENZIED
FINANCE HOW THE "RIcHEsT
MAN IN THE WORLD" WAS FOOLED.
IF young man should discover a way
to transmute the baser metals into gold
that old, old dream-and should go
among New York bankers in an effort
TO promote a plant to manufacture gold,
he would have a hard time to get the
money unless he should adopt some UNI
usual method. George K. Grinnell, the
hero" of Edwin Lefevre's The Golden
Flood, being an astute young man, rea-
soned somewhat as above in carrying
out bit of financiering that came his
way. He was willing that certain bank
ers should think he could make gold; in
fact he wished them to think he could
do So But he knew that if he told them
that he could do SO, they would simply
laugh at him. So he simply went to the
bank OF the richest man in the world
and made a deposit of an assay office
check on the subtreasury for $103, 81.
A week later he appeared with a check
for $4,000. After seven days more he
went in with s25OO00, then with $4,000
then $l,O0O,000, then $2,500,000, then
$5.000,O0O, then $10,O00,000.
OF course, even In the bank of the
richest man in the world such depos-
us could not go unnOtlced. Inc 'f1chest

The advertiser considers his adj
vertisement salesman on paper,
and he knows that the cleaner and
the higher grade paper is the
more it is respected, and, therefore,
makes for him a more respectable
silent salesman than cheap,
fashy, sensational medium filled
with questionable advertising. The
clean paper is worth just as much
more to an advertiser as is the
clean, respectable, gentlemanly So
licitor, compared with the ordinary
unclean, disreputable solicitor.
Thirty thousand honorable, gen
tlemanly solicitors can sell more
goods than $4,000 Of the UNIV ashed.
This holds true in advertising. The
clean paper Is salesman, a silent
salesman, with an entree to The
parlor and library of practically
every Intelligent American family,
presenting its advertiser wares at
a time when there is leisure and
inclination for their proper consid-

James M. Jarrett died suddenly at
his residence, 1850 Hennepin avenue,

Mr.. jarrett was born in Pennsylvania
in 1928 and came to Minneapolis in
1851. He was proprietor of the first
hotel in this city, the Jarrett house.
which later was known as the fremont
house. He was associated with several
business enterprises, but retired many
years ago.
He had been in good health and his
death was quite unexpected. He is sur
vived by his widow, one son and five
daughters. Two Of his daughters are
married, but three daughters and his
son-in-law, P. W. Wirth, were living
with him at the time of his death. One

Maxine Gomez.

General Maxine Gomez did not lead
a happy life. In his youth he fought
against his native country and in be-
half of the Spanish rule in Santo Do
mingo. Later he learned more about
Spanish rule and Joined the Cuban in
surgents in the rebellion which began
in 1895 and ended with independence
in 1892 While in the Spanish army he
served in the same regiment with
Weyler and as the insurgent leader he
made it hot for Weyler.
After the war Gomez made strenuous
efforts to collect from the new repub-
lie the money he had been promised in
case of success. He was accused of
treason in trying to divert the $3,000,-
900 presented to Cuba by Uncle Sam,
to his army. When he was dying the
Cuban congress voted him 100000 and
now that he is dead will give him a
$4,000 funeral.
These facts do not necessarily prove
that the republic was ungrateful nor
that Gomez was unworthy. The truth is
that Gomez was not a patriot in the
sense Of Washington, who never stipu-
lated for pay nor emolument, but on
the contrary risked everything from
great estates to life for the American
people. Gomez was soldier of fortune
He fought largely for his own hand
He did not put down the. power of
Spain, but he organized campaign
which resulted in an impasse between
the people and the government. He
made. conditions so intolerable that the
United States had to step in. His pla1
of campaign was farseeing and it pro
duced results of the most tremendous
consequence. =, NJ p3s 5.s -. .s.y

Learning the Bible.

/ Superintendent Jordan IS remarks yes
terday upon the growing ignorance of
children respecting the Bible is GER
tainly well put. Fewer children are
learning passages of the scriptures
than ever before, and for two reasons:
First, the parents do not teach it them
selves, and second, the Sunday schools
do not try out the children on memo
rizing as they formerly did.
Parents do not insist on their children
memorizing the old book since they
have some painful recollections of
gloomy Sunday afternoons themselves,
when they were set down in ingle
hooks and made to pore over verses
when they would fain have been chas-
ing grasshoppers or sliding down hill.
1t does not matter that these same pa
rents would not today exchange what
they know about the scriptures and the
comfort they get from this knowledge
for all that will ever be known about
grasshoppers. A sense of injustice
rankles and they are determined their
children shall not have that complaint
against them. .... !
Second, the children are not put thru
PAGES in the Sunday schools because the
teachers no longer have the hold upon
| children they once had. Parents will
not put their children into Sunday
school and submit them unreservedly to
it's discipline as the Christian parents
Of thirty years ago did. Sunday school
attendance has become largely optional
with the children because Of this lax
ness on the part of parents. *.
A Sunday school teacher in this city,
4 a business man who has right ideas and
independence, had in his class a boy
who was inattentive and who was con
tinually intimating that he was going
to withdraw and attend another school.
That teacher finally brought matters to
an issue, saying to the boy: II spend
the better part of day in preparing
this lesson. I consider that in teaching
I am doing at least as much for you as
you are doing for me. I am glad to
have you in the class, provided you are
as much interested in it as I am.
: want you to go home now and tell your
father what I have said. IF he wants
5 you to continue in this class on these
terms come back next Sunday. IF not
/ don't come back.' Then he lee
the astounded youth to. the doo1
and sent him home. The youne
man had sensible and right thinking
, parents and he came back to the class
l full Of interest and activity. The boy
4 was not exceptional. The parents were
Most fathers and mothers Of this day
E would have thought they were insulte6

s would have gone to another Sunday

DR.. JORDAN'S PLEA
superintendent of Schools Thinks Chill
dren Too Ignorant of the Bible.

DR.. Charles NJ. Jordan, superintend-
ent of the public schools, made a strong
day schools at the Tuttle Universalist
church yesterday. He said that his ex-
perience in the public schools showed
him that the children of this genera
ton are ignorant of the Bible stories
that every one is supposed to know.
It was the opinion Of the speaker
that if our ideas of morality, virtue and
the nation is bringing destruction upon
itself by neglecting the teaching of the
truths Of the Bible. In order that the
children may become interested, it is
necessary that their parents treat the
Bible with respect and assist at the
Sunday school.

CHRISTIAN socIALISM.-The Heart
Charles M. Sheldon, and in it he has fol-
lowed out the plan Inaugural ted in his
earlier works, that Of preaching his al
truistic ideas thru fiction. '"The Heart
of the World is a novel intended to give
the author an attractive opportunity to
exploit his theories as to Christian So
cialisn.'' That he is highly successful
goes without saying. Mr.. Sheldon thinks
that love is the greatest thing in the
world, and that brotherhood Of man" Is
the only tie which will bind the human
fabric together without danger, and that
the whole must be cemented by "love of
Cod" H.- ssa
Mr.. Sheldon's work cannot be called
literary in the sense of possessing liter
airy art It is not artistic and for that
reason perhaps is often the more inter-
esting to the average reader. His ideas
are not new, but they are forcefully pre-
scented, and few will begin the book with
out completing 1t. The story, as In his
former book, 'In His Steps, first re-
generates minister, then it gives him
wife, and together they work out the
social problem presented by the rich and
lawless owners of the Lenox mills the
poor workmen and clever strike leader.
A revival Of religion, and the going into

man, and his tragic death in saving the
! life of the strike leader, furnish some
what dramatic incidents in the book.

Lyceum-"The Bankers Daughter. ),

-ySeuH1 Inc Bankers Daughter"
With the stamp of approval placed upon
1t by numberless audiences Bronson
HoWards The Bankers Daughter" is
presented by the Ferris stock company
this week in fashion that assures its
continued popularity. The sterling old
play, with it's strength of human inter
est and it's melodramatic flavor that
never reaches the offensiveness of modern
creations. was especially well received
yesterday.
The story is well known locally. The
interest centers in the emotions and vicis-
STUDIES Of the young girl who sells her
self in marriage and repents when she
finds herself in love with a young man
whose devotion never fails to strike a
responsive chord in the hearts of the
auditors, for 'all the world loves a
lover The duel and several other in
cidents furnish the necessary thrills. ;.
while the latent patriotism in every
American is aroused by the scene in the
American legation at Paris, where the
blatant Frenchman insults the stars and
stripes.
The role of the bankers daughter
gives Miss Eva Taylor an opportunity OF
which she takes every advantage. The
tender womanliness Of her love scenes
compels sympathetic appreciation and her
work in the dramatic climaxes is effect
i've.

A NEW ANEcDoTE OF EMERSON
A New York man fond of passing much of
his time in the Adirondacks tells story
which, it is thought, has. never before this
been, published, with reference to a visit
made to that picturesque region by Ralph
Waldo Emerson, says Harper's Weekly.
According to one of the old guides. who
remembered the philosopher, Emerson
had enjoyed his stay immensely. Once
some one asked this guide, known as
Steve" what sort Of an impression the
Sage of Concord had made upon the ma
tives.
"Well, SIR obligingly responded the
guide, che was gentleman, every inch
of him; as nice chap as you'd care to
see-pleasant and kind. And he was a
scholar, too, allus iggerin', studyin', and
writin' tho we did think he'd had bet
ter time a-huntin' an a-fishin' but, sir,
I'm here to state that he was the alfred
est, homeliest critter for his age that
ever came into these woods"
