This dreamy foating on peaceful

Dim grow earth's sounds, but celes-

This heart that long has ached with bit

Now feels the touch of peace and JOY
serene.
And memories bright recall to me again
The happy past-the dear familiar
scene.
No longer lonely and bereft I stand.
Nor stretch my empty hands in fruit

For see, around me close smiling band !;
The lost are found-the ones loved

Keep Up to Date; Then

Famous New York Physicians Pules of Health
Temperance, Absence of Worry Youth
full Mind and Plenty of Sleep.

A famous physician. now hale and
handsome at seventy-five. sums up his
half a century Of medical practice and
observation in those simple rules of
health:
l. Be temperate in all things, in mat
ters Of amusement or study as well as
in regard TO foods and drinks. To be
temperate in all things. however, does
not imply that one must be pro-
blbitionIst about anything.
2. Don't be afraid to go to sleep, for
sleep is the best restorer of wasted
energies. Sleep q certain number OF
hours every night. and then remember
that a short nap during the day is
safer rejuvenator than a cocktail.
3. Don't worTy-either about the past
or the future To waste a single hour
in regret for the past IS as senseiess as
- send good money after that which
has been irrecoyerably lost. TO fret one $
self about what the future may have
IN store is about as reasonable as TO
attempt TO brush back the tide Of the
ocean with a broom. Worry. Of what
ever kind, b4nishes contentment, and
cOntentment IS a necessity OF youth.

Noney and Education.

Mr. Rockefeller is reported to be
planning a magnificent endowment for
Chicago University, to which he is
already credited with giving over
S15.000.000 It is said that he de-
signs giving the institution $4,000 900,
which viii make it the most richly
endowed institution in the country
His plan is to make it ultimately, by
sheer force of wealth, the greatest of
universities.
But is it possible to do this with
money as the handspring? Of course.
It will be conceded that money alone
could not do it. There must be
brains, and energy, and character. and
conservation. and lofty, enduring
ideal to make the greatest university
How far can money go toward buying
these things?
Money is tremendously useful in
running an educational institution II
is a curious commentary on the real
lack OF popular appreciation of educa-
tion that nowhere in the world has
IL been possible to make the business
of education pay. 1t is said the
facilities afforded to the average stu
dent at one Of the major universities
OF America represent several times
the fee exacted Of the student; while
the pupil In the public schools secures
for no direct individual cost facili-
ties that In the aggregate make up
the greatest annual item of the ma
tons taxation. Yet so little do Deo-
pie care for education that the bust

The Average" in Politics.

A great deal has been said in com
pliment of William Travers Jerome
since his recent defiance to the bosses
of New York. He has been called "a
great moral force" a fearless chal-
lenger," a powerful personality, y
and a sort OF perpetual motion in the
cause of good government generally.
Newspapers have declared for him
like bidders at an auction. But with
all this, the reform forces of the
metropolis have been genuinely afraid
that his candidacy was only a flash
in the pan and that the district at
torney. instead of the bosses, will be
out of politics at the end of the
fight.
The Times has already indicated
the good ground for that fear-that
Mr. Jerome must receive the entire
anti-Tammany vote in order to win.
As he has def1ed the Republicans with
the same expletives he has applied
to the Democrats. this has been re-
garded as impossible Yet his
strength, has grown. day after day,
until the outlook now is that he may
win in his fight for the district at
torneyship as Mr.. Strong and Mr..
Low Won before him in their fights
for the mayoralty
Curtously, the impression seems to
be that the Republican leaders in
Manhattan. and perhaps the Demo-
cratic leaders also, VIII simply have
TO nominate Mr. Jerome in spite of
the excavations they have received
at his hands New York apparently
believes in him. With all his faults
and hardly an Indorser fails TO men
ton them-the people of the city be-
heye him honest and they are de-
manding honesty in the Office of the
district attorney whatever they may
get from future mayors. 1t would be
strange thing. indeed. for the city
of Tweed and Croker if the party
bosses were forced to accept an avow-
ed and understandable enemy because
the people regarded him as beyond
corruption.
II this should happen, and whether
It happens or not. the showing made
by Mr. Jerome as a vote-getter is most
significant. 1t reveals a watchfulness
on the part of the average citizen who
lives IN eities-that enormous factor
heretofore always aligned with cor
ruption in its thinnest clothes-and
a devotion to the cause of good gov
ernment which may truly be termed
an awakening That same spirit is
saving Philadelphia. q city fallen so
low that only those who knew moth

great parties can resist that it pub

tlons.
Everywhere the showing is the
same: the great average has lifted
above political corruption; it is

slaves that misgovernment thrfves-

Il New Menace.

A new and startling menace TO our
beloved institutions has developed out
in Missouri. Steps cannot be taken
too soon OF too vigorously to head it
off. Allusion is had, it should be un-
necessary to say, 10 the somnambu-
listie Senator.
1t appears that the Hon. William
Warner, first Republican Senator from
Missouri since just before the Hodges
were hung. which was just few years
prior to the Big Wind. has the habit
Of talking in his sleep. The other
night the Pullman conductor Of the
train going into Kansas City found
large man In pajamas-note it, ye
Missourians of the simple life, pa
jamas!-wallling up and down the
aisle talking earnestly to himself,
'T am sorry, but there's no va
cancy," said the man in the pajamas.
And after a moment, with more en-
phasis:
7 tell you. there is ne vacancy. l
saw the Adjutant General, and he
tells me the man is not dead"
Then the train lurched, Senator
Warner was tossed against the side
of a berth, woke up. and in horror
demanded to know what he had been
talking about He said he had had
habit of sleep-walking all his life.
It was, if memory is not playing
false. the Hon. William Vincent Allen
of Nebraska who talked sixteen hours
and forty-fve minutes, straightaway,
go-as-you-please; and it was the Hon.
Thomas R. Carter OF Montana who
talked S45, 900 900 worth on the clos
ing day Of Congressional session.
Neither of these latter-day disciples
of Demosthenes, however, was able
to draw on his hours of somnolenee
to fill in the oratorical gaps when
tired nature yielded to her sweet re-
storer. Neither of them would look
better than an amateur conversations
alist if pitted against the linguistic
flow of the man from Missouri. who
can talk till he goes to sleep and
then keep on talking while every
body else is asleep.
Contemplation Of the possibilities
for evil that inhere in such a gift
of language viii give quake to even
the venerable Morgan of Alabama,
whose hold on the belt for all-round,
Iong-distance talking has not been
questioned in late years. When the
Senator from Missouri, at the coming
session, presents his bill to appTo-
! pirate $123, 900, 900 to control the
floods in the Kaw. and the Appropria-
ton Committee rejects 1t as excessive,
what is to prevent him taking the
floor and talking Congress to death
without ever giving it a show for
| its white alley? He can talk till
he goes to sleep, wind the alarm
clock. put out the cat, and go right
ahead. The overflow Of the Kew, OF
| even the freshets of his welI-beloVed
South Platte. will look like dry
season in the Sahara by comparison
with this well-spring of linguistic
precipitation. and even Mr.. Bryan
will appear reticent and halting in
such a contrast.

/ tors who talk while their colleagues
