HitChed to a Star.

Wallisville, Texas, receives all its
freight by boat from Galveston or Hous-
ton, and as it happened one day the
captain of two masted schooner found
his helper too sick to return with him to
Galveston. His search for roustabout
was unavailing until, just before dark,
he found a negro on the landing who
had never before seen a boat or as large
a body of wafer az the Trinity river. A
bargain was, however, struck, and the
negro agreed to go with him to Calves
ton. After getting through the river
into Trinity Bay, the Captain called the
negro to him at the helm and after ex-
planning to him at great length, and
with much care how to steer by the
rudder he pointed to II bright star
directly ahead and said, Now, Bob,
you see that star directly over the nose
of the boat?'
"Yessir
We'll, that star is right over Calves
ton Island, and if you will keep the
nose of this boat pointed at that star we
will butt into Galveston. Now, you re,
member all | told you about steering,
do your
Yes, Boss
"You can keep the nose pointed right
at that star, can you?
Sure, Boss
'All right, I'm going to sleep for
awhile and then I'll steer and let you
sleep"
"All right, Boss.
When the Captain woke up the first
thing he did was to look for his star,
and to his CONSERVATION saw it over the
stern of the schooner. Say, you black
devil, where are you steering for?' he
roared
Don't know now, Boss, you got to
give me anudder star. ! done passed

measure in question. The giant fire
cracker has MANNED and crippled many
and many a small boy.
But one peculiarity of Wisconsin law
makers is, that they will rarely if ever
pass law calculated to do away with
bad thing until after that thing has done
untold harm. Why such delay Why
not do the right thing at the right time
Why not nip bad thing in the bud
Nay, more why not anticipate and fore
stall preventable bad thing But
alas where much power exists there If
often little wisdom, and vice versa In
the name of common sense, why not put
a stop to a bad thing at once when 1t If
plain as day that the thing will, any
way, be stopped eventually, after much
mischief has been done?

nection it seems pity to destroy any
thing of value and the existing capitol
might we'll be made over into useful
and adequate structure, with great
deal less money than will be necessary
to build entirely rev. The trouble with
members Of the legislature is that they
do not realize that they are spending
money mt all when they make up their
budgets Of appropriations
If some of the good farmers in the
Legislature, who will vote aye on this
normal school proposition the PROPOSE
ton to erect "A new normal school build
ing ut Milwaukee should be asked to
tear down the homes they are now living
in and replace them with finer, more
expensive structures simply because n
committee of their neighbors had it in
their power TO cause them to do so, they
would get up on their hind legs and sail
into that committee in II manner that
would leave no doubt as to what they
thought about such proceeding. Yet
the legislature asks the state to throw
away IN adequate structure and think
nothing of it apparently the people
think nothing of it either, The Wiz.

a Saint of Latter DAYS.

An article of real inspirations in these
days of feverish and soul-killing pursuit
of material ends is an appreciation OF
Thomas Davidson written by his friend,
William James of Harvard, for the May
McClures. Professor James calls him a
man who tried to be on earth what
good people hope TO be in heaven,
"All sorts of contrary adjectives come
up az l think of him, he writes. To
begin with, there was something physlc-
ally rustic which suggested to the end
his farm boy origin. His voice was
sweet and Its Scottish cadences most
musical, and the extraordinary socia-
bility of his nature made friends for
him as much among women rs among
men; he had. moreover, a sort OF physlc-
al dignity; but neither in dress nor in
manner did he ever grow quite gentle
manly, or Salonfabig, in the conven-
tional and obliterated sense of the terms.
He was too cordial and emphatic for
that. His broad brow, his big chest,
his bright blue eyes, his volubility in
talk and laughter told a tale CT vitality
far beyond the common; but his fine and
nervous hands, and the vivacity of all
his reaction suggested a degree OF sensi-
blity that one rarely finds conloined
with so robustly animal frame. The
great popularity of Davidson did, in
deed, consist in this combination of the
acutest sensibiitie4 with massive facul-
ties of thought and action, combina-
ton which, when the thought and &c
tons are important gives to the world
its greatest men
Cling with all your might to your
own highest ideals, and do not be led
astray by such vulgar aims as wealth,
position, popularity. If the world
despise you because you do not follow
its ways, pay no heed to IT, But be sure
your way is right Let not your
goodness be professional; let it be the
simple, natural outcome of your charac-
ter. Therefore. cultivate character. y
These are some of the maxims which
Davidson formulated from his own eX-
perience, and which he tabulated to the
number of twenty as rules of life In
any other age or country Davidson could
not have escaped national place as n
leader of public thought and morals. AS
it was, he was the prophet, guide, and
friend of an intellectual coterie.
IF one asks now" writes Professor
James what the value Of Thomas
Davidson was what was the general
significance OF his life apart from his
particular books and articles, | have to
say that it lay in the example he set
to us all of how, even in the midst of
this intensely worldly social system of
oars, in which each human interest is
organized so collectively and so com
.nercially, sipgleman may still be n
knight errant of the intellectual life,
and preserve full freedom in the midst
of sociability. Extreme us was his need
of friends, and faithful ~ he was to
them, he yet lived mainly in reliance on
his private inspiration. AskiEgno mans
permission, bowling the knee to no tribal
idol, renouncing the conventional chan
nels of recognition; he showed us how II
life devoted to purely intellectual ends,

wardly, and overflow with inner con
tentment'
