, On Keeping Busy.

Chicago Tribune.
 Twenty years ago Mir E. A. S. Clarke was a laboratory assistant in a Pitts burg steel factory. His job was small and paid only $1,OO0 a year. Yet MT. Clarke was one of the busiest men in the plant He never lost a minute of his regular working day. He even dId not complain when, during an extrI rush of work. he had to put in more than union hours. He was still one of the busiest men in the steel business when he became an assistant superin- tendent, then a general superintendent. then a general manager. He was one of the busiest men in Chicago while general manager of the International Harvester Company. and now, at forty two years old, he has gone East to be president of the Lackawanna Steel Company and one of the busiest men in New York at salary of $500,o0O per year.
 The moral of the story of MT. Clarke Is tolerably obvious. He has got m by keeping busy. And that Is about the only way men ever do get on. The degree of a mans success, whether In money getting. or writing, or scanning

Missed His Guess.

Kansas City Star.
 A few officers of a British ship were dining with a mandarin at Canton. One of the guests wished a second helping of savory stew, which he thought was composed of duck. Not knowing word of Chinese, held up his plate to his host, saying, with smiling ap- proval: "Quack, quack, quack" The mandarin was an intelligent Chinaman. Shaking his head he pointed to the dish of stew and said: Bow, wow, wow!"

HIGH PRAISE OF EVANS.

London Papers Lauds the United States
 Consul General.
 London, Jan. 13.-Commenting on the reported retirement of Consul Gen. eral Evans, The Standard today says:
 'The reported return to America of H. Clay Evans. American Consul Gen eral in London has been received with geenral regret. General Evans as he is affectionately termed by his many English and American friends assumed the duties of consul general in June, 1902, and since that date has achieved more for the country he represents than has been accomplished by many an ambassador. No more typical American ever came to London in an official capacity. Yet Mir. Evans nas constantly proved himself in genuine sympathy with British ideals and Brit ish aspirations. A Southerner to the tips of his fingers, he and his charm ing family have been welcome addi- tions to the social and public life of the British metropolis and 1t is to be hoped that the report of his resigna- ton being accepted by President Roosevelt will prove premature"

Good Men, First.

Certain words of ex-Gov. Mclean,
OF Connecticut, at the Hartford exer-
cises in honor of the late Senator
Hawley are an inspiration just such as
the American mind of today most
needs:
I'VE can heed the lesson, and we
can stop today, and turn our faces
from the shining idols of profit, and,
remembering that great nations are
made and. when made, are perpetual
ted by good men and not by rich men,
we can thank God for giving this man
to Connecticut and the union
1t is timely message. The Ameri
can people. abnOrmally melted by phe.
nomenal success, have become mad in
the chase for wealth. Industrial enter
prise, world commerce, high finance.
have turned our heads. These things
are all well enough in their way. Bot
we forget other things far more impOr-
tant TO the happiness and advance
ment of the human race. We produce
hundred new millionaires and gain
control of a thousand new foreign mar
kets every year. and imagine that the
supreme ann Ol Iullldll tHUCdNpl -
thereby being accomplished. We for
get that no nation ever rose to great
ness on mere wealth.
The nation that rises 10 lofty posi-
ton does so by virtue of the character
of its common citizens. Wealth is a
later development and not always con
ducive to national perpetuiJy. The
shining idols of profit are those be-
fore which this republic is most in
danger of prostrating itself. Woe be
tide the day when wealth becomes of
more account to us than character.
In politics wealth has long shown its
baleful influences. The United States
senate has long been contemptuously
spoken of as "a milliOnaires' club
The wealth of its members does not
bespeak the highest intelligence and
the highest character of the nation.

knowledge of, and kept secret from
the world, the existence Of the most
powerful explosive ever invented. This
wonderful explosive, known as Shi-
NOSE powder, is superior 10 that used
by any other nation on the globe.
When the Chinese war broke out in
1894, the experiments of Prof Shi-
nose, for whom the explosive was
named, had so far progressed that his
invention was placed at the disposal OF
his government, which had been fur
nishing him with funds for years. But
the willy japanese did not have suffi-
cient stock of the explosive on hand.
and they also saw that by making
their secret known to the world it
would place a deadly weapon in the
hands of their future enemies. So
Shimose was sent back to his labora-
tory. During the 10 years that elapsed
since the Chinese war, the Japanese
have faithfully guarded their secret
and have built great factories and
storage houses for their new explo-
sive: so that when the Russian war
broke out they had so perfected the
use of the explosive that they aston
ished the military experts of the world,
who had been gossiping about their
own inventions without the slightest
idea of the existence of ShimOse.
The inventor of ShimOse narrowly
escaped death several times in con
Quoting his experiments, and one hand
was badly crippled by a gun explosion.
He has now done his work for his
country and the nation refers to him
as one of the men who have given Jap
an victory over her Old enemy. The
people OF Japan rank the scientist in
his lonely laboratory with the general
in the field or the admiral on the
bridge, and accord him equal honor
and glory. II is the Japanese way.

Kansas does not want the investign-
ton of the Standard oil trust TO be a
farce The people of the sunflower
state are deeply in earnest and their
outraged feelings have forced them to
protest against a repetition of the
whitewashing tactics employed by Mr..
Garfield in the case of the beef trust.
Perhaps it might be well TO permit the
young man to have another try at il.
as the castigation resulting from mis-
carriage in the beef case may sharpen
his wits. He seems 10 be honest and
might be given one more chance to
make good.

Cav.naueh Makes a Fine Impression

James w. Cavanaugh made splen-
did impression in his address on Mar
ket square Saturday night. The char
acter of his address, the broadminded-
ness of his ideas and the firmness and
earnestness of his nature as shown in
his manner of speaking could not fail
10 challenge the admiration of his
hearers.
And the way the people who had
cheered his remarks throughout
swarmed to the platform TO congrat-
ulate him and pledge him their sup
port at the conclusion of the meeting,
indicated how strong he is with the
public.
