God is Good to Us.

God is Good to Us.
In spite of the things that go wrong,
God is migh.y good TO this country.
Never before in the history of this
land has nature opened her cornucopia
more generously and poured out great

The west has arecord-breazer wheat
crop that is taxing her labor capacity

takes less of it to make a barrel of
flour than in previous years
The south has a paying cotton crop
coming on, and the growers are
talking 10 cent cotton and prosperity.
The corn crop of the country
promises to be SO, OOO, 900 bus. Larger
than ever before. The whole indi-

There are indicated bumper crops
of oats, rye, fax, barley, tobacco anc
potatoes-worth hundreds of millions.
The farmer is not alone in being

Let the Lazy Man Alone.

Now there is an antitoxin for laziness.
The New York health commissioner is
quoted as saying: Undoubtedly every hui
man being makes In himself a toxin which
puts him TO sleep and toxin which keeps
him awake These toxins are supposed to
be akin to those of strychnine. which is an
active poison, stimulant. and tends TO
wakefulness. Hence strychnine may be
called an antitoxin of laziness'
This antitoxin is produced thus: "A guinea
pig is reduced by physical exertion to a
state OF absolute exhaustion and then killed
From the crushed muscles toxin of ex-
haustion' is obtained which is injected into
horses and they develop a scaly antitoxin. -
The latter may be absorbed into the stom-
ach with food or injected hypodermically.
The discoverer of this alleged remedy for
lazness is DIR. Woifgang Weichardt of Ber-
Iin In behalf of his antitoxin he has said:
That after taking four doses of 1t young
woman was able to lift a weight twice as

A Miner and His Money.

The story comes from a little town in
Nevada of a miner who at the end of
twenty years of hard work found himself
the possessor of $4,000 in hard cash. His
ambition took queer turn, and he wasted
his whole store in week spent in bar
rooms with convivial company. What he
and his cronies could not consume in drink
he gave away, and then, with his pockets
empty started for the mountains again,
with a borrowed outfit, in search of another
fortune
When Bret Harte first introduced men
of this sort in his pages the country made
allowances for the eXtrayagances of fic-
tion. Romance, it was explained, demanded
high colors. Mr.. Harte's heroes lived prin-
cpally, we were told in Mr.. Hartes mind.
A poet entitled to his license. But
many things have happened since to show
that, gifted as he was with fancy and eX-
preston, Mr. Harte was a good deal of a
photographer He gave US, with no material
change, men and women he had known.
and described scenes he had actually wit
messed. a striking phase of frontier life
had simply found in him an eloquent and
accurate laureate. Truth, so to speak, was
the strength of Mr.. Harte's fiction He
had caught it on the end of his pen, and
preserved it for the worlds enjoyment.
This old miner has a good deal of boy
remaining in his nature. In his lonely life
in the mountains, prospecting for gold and
dreaming of wealth, he probably nourished
his spirit with fancies about the future
should fortune ever smile on him. A rough
fellow. hardened by rougher surroundings.
his hero very likely was some chap who i'll
earlier days had. with a big roll, turned
things upside down in Sacramento or San
Francisco and had been the theme ever since
of fireside eulogy throughout the mining
country. Were the great days no more?
Was the Caucasian played out? Did man
with a roll have to go on a journey TO
become a hero?
Fortune at last smiled, and here was the
opportunity. The money burned the old
miners pocket. Why not set the pegs in
Nevada for a lark" Who had ever sepa-
rated himself from $4,000 in a week s
time without calling in the aid of faro or
draw poker? The thing could be done, and
he set out to do it. He succeeded, and now
in the mountain camp again will enjoy the
distinction of his performance. strange
life. but stranger are the men who lead 1t.

CAPTAIN Clado.

Saws a cable from St. Petersburg:
Grand Duke Alexis, high admiral of the
Russian navy, has issued an order severely
censuring Captain Clado, formerly chief
tactician on the staff of Vice Admiral Ro-
iestyensky, for his criticisms of the navy.
and at the same time, in order TO give him
an opportunity TO repair his faults, appoint
ing Captain Clado TO special service in con-
uection with the equipment and command
of vessels navigating rivers in the theater
of the war.
This must be an exhibition of grim Rus
sian humor How can this old salt repair
his faults by commanding a lot of roust-
abouts in Mauchura? There doubtless are
hundreds of men out there better prepared
than he to super.ntend the Russian river
traffic. 1t would have been a better stroke
to send Captain Clado along with the Baltic
fleet, upon the proposition that, deficient as
the fleet might be, he should give his best
efforts to help Rojestvensky put it into the
most effective lighting shape by the time
of its arrival in eastern waters. Then, If
the fleet triumphed over Togo. Clado would
have repaired his faults, while IL the fleet
went to the bottom he would stand chance
of going there with it. We shall soon know
how valuable Clado's opinions are about his
country's naval preparations.

GOOD OLD AGE.

Dr. Osler to the contrary notwithstand-
ing there Is a man in Lincoln, Neb., who
feels himself still to be useful member of
his community Although ninety-two years
of age he is today serving actively as city
treasurer. He puts In full days work
six days of each week and acts as spry as
youth of fifty. He will not use cane
and only seldom needs the aid of glasses
And on the financial side of the demonstra-
ton that is being steadily piled up against
the advocate of chloroforming the aged
is to be cited the case of a man who has
just died in Forest. Ohio, at eighty-fve
years, with the proud record of never hav-
ing owed anybody an account. That trl-
umph suffices. whether or not he accumu-
lated fortune, to stamp him as finan-
cal genius.
In this connection it is interesting to
know that Donald G. Mitchell whom n
world of readers loves to call Tx Marvel"
recently celebrated his eighty-third birth
day at his farm home. Edgewood, New
Haven. Conn. He was a young man in
point of calendar years so long ago that 1t
is no shock TO the multitudes who know
him as the bachelor who INDUCED in rev.
cries to be told that the birthday party was
attended by his numerous grandchildren
and great grandchildren. Yet Mr. Mitchell
did in fact write his reveres as bachelor
and he did not marry until he was thirty
one years old.

democracy which Judge Dunno leads in
Chicago and which he will not fail to

Old? Mr. Williams old? What sort of
talk is this from a man of fifty-three? He
has probably been reading DIR. Osler, and.
unlike most people, has become impressed
with the Oslerian theory. Age does not
lay it's hand on the average Yankee at Mr..
Williams time of life. The men of that
section of the country are as tough of
fiber as they are tenacious of purpose and
the half-century mark usually finds them
still with their eyes bright and their loins
girded for the fray. If Mr.. Williams spoke
seriously he may be expected to recover
from that humor and return home from
this Chicago visit all to the good again

would infringe the rights of man. Some
men take pride in their ability to live with
out working. To live without labor has
been brought to such state of perfection
by some men that idleness is an art. And
art is not to be discouraged.
This antitoxin is fraught with danger.
There are men who have been lazy so long
that, should they be made suddenly ener-
getic they would doubtless drop dead from
the shock. Meddling psychologists should
remember that men are lazy from choice
and not from necessity. In some instances
1t may be hereditary or congenital, but as
a rule 1t is an acquired taste. And it may
be that there is more philosophy in the man
who is so lazy that he will not work than
there Is in the man who is SO energetic that
he will never rest
The lazy man has his uses. Competition
in this Industrial age Is already hot enough,
and any effort to augment the number Of
hustlers might properly be discouraged. II
all the lazy men should be transformed into
busy and busting money-grubbers. and
take to chasing the almighty dollar with
the zeal of their conversion, there would
soon be such scarcity of dollars that
many of those men who now pride them
selves on their industry, alertness, enter
prise and never-sleep qualities would be
saving wood for lodging enjoying the
hospitality of the poorhouse. If all of us
should suddenly become energetic something
radical would surely happen.
OF course, DR.. Wolfgang Weichardt's cure
for lazness is not the first that has been
heard of. There have been others. And
yet despite these remedies, one Is inclined
to suspect that cases of laZness survive
In fact, an examination of the yards be-
hind and the pavements in front of some
houses tends to confirm the suspicion that
in some cases laziness Is incurabe.
