how much we rely on clocks and calendars?
If you never have it will pay you to do so,
and no doubt you will find yourself just as
helpless as other men. Why, do you know
that nine men out of ten can give you no
approximate idea of the time of day, or Of
the day of the MONTH without looking at
watch, clock, or a calendar? Why? Hab-
it, merely the habit of relying altogether on
clocks and calendars; that's all. Now, 1t
has occurred to me that this is not good
thing for the human mind, though, of
course l may be wrong in my conclusion.
Clocks and calendars are very convenient.
Put the question to us bluntly and we would
almost answer that could not get along
without them. We have calendar on our
desk one on the Office wall, one in the room
where we live and maybe one in the library.
Ask us the day of the month and imme-
diately we appeal to the calendar. 1t is the
same way with clocks and watches We
have no idea what time it is unless we look
at the clicking, ticking timepiece. 1t was
not always thus Even now there are men
and women living in remoter sections Where
clocks and calendars are not so pientl1uI
who can tell you the time of day and the
day of the month without reference to these
clever inventions. They have not yet learned
to rely altogether on artificialties. They
turn to nature sometimes. For the time OF
day they rely on the sun, ana as Tor the
day of the month, they begin TO keep track
of 1t on New Year day, and hence always
know just precisely where they are chrono-

PROMISED GREAT RETURNS.
Fraud Order Issued Against Edward A.
Vaughan, Broker.

Edward A. Vaughan, former employe
of the Post Office Department, against
whom a fraud order has been issued by the
department for operations of questionable
character connected with speculation In
wheat from Minneapolis, was at one time
connected with the service in this city.
His entrance into the service was as
ianitor in the Cincinnati post office, from
which place he was transferred to WASH
irgton at 81, 600 year and later again sent
to Cincinnati There, as late as last sum-
mer. after his removal from the service
"for cause" he was without work or funds,
yet still later he appeared in Minneapolis
and opened grain brokers' office, inviting
investments on what he declared he knew
to be IA gigantic deal for the cornerlng OF
that market.
His stationery bore his portrait and pic
ture of his alleged horne and an elevator
he claimed to own. The picture OF the
young man is said to he real, the dwelling
being not his, but that of resident of
Minneapolis named Chester Simmons, and
the elevator being the property of l.. i.
Sowle & Son. These facts the inspectors
brought out at their investigation OF the

the Union armies. But Lee was nine years
older when he fought his great battle-at
Malvern Hill-than Napoleon was when he
fed from Waterloo. Moltke was sixty-sfS
years old when he overthrow the Austrians
at Sadowa, and seventy when his genius
triumphed in the Franco-Prussian war
Nogi is fiftyfour. kuroh is sixty-twos
Oyama is siXty-four.
Things had changed when old Moltke. a
soldier of books and maps, could sit i'm
passable al the end of a telegraph wire and
direct the conquering movements of more
than a half-million men according to q
plan he had drawn up months before. The
great captain had wholly ceased to be a
fighter. He had become chess player
with a board perhaps hundreds or thou
sands of miles in area. This is what
Oyama is. He IS cool. long-headed old
fellow who has mastered the science and
the art of modern war by long years OF
study and experience. Future great comS
manders probably will be a good deal like
him.

Old Men for War?
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune
Must the venerable proverb, "Old men
for counsel, young men for war, DC
amended? The experience of mankind I'M
til the last half century seemed to vindicate
the last part of it as well as the first Cae-
sar who did not set out against the Gauls
until he was forty-two, and was hfty-two
when he won at Pharsalia, was long an
exception Alexander beat Darius at Ar
bella at twenty-four, and before ne was
thirty vented his famous sigh because there
were no more worlds to conquer Hannibal
was commander-in-chief of the gin
ian army at twenty-siX, and set out against
Rome at twenty-nine. Frederick the Great
won Hohenfriedberg at thirty-three. Ma
poleon had conquered Italy when twenty
eight, won Austerlitz at thirty-six, and lost
Waterloo at forty-six. Ney was the same
age as his great leader and Murat but Two
years older Wellington finished the PENN
sular campaign at forty-five and won at
Waterloo at forty-six.
Contrast the ages of these great captains
with those of the great commanders OF
more recent times. Grant was only forty

for speculation in wheat and claimed 10 De
possessed of information from the inside
which he could not divulge, put whnch ne
lators intrusting their funds to him. I'm
doubtedly many took advantage of this
kind offer and Vaughan is said to have de-
posited s. 900 with the Germania Bank OF
Minneapolis, which institution became sus-
picious and requested him to withdraw ms
account He did this and soon after LETT
for Chicago. The inspectors waited for him:
but he has never returned to the scene OF
his successful operations.
He claimed to be able to SO manipulate
the funds intrusted to him that certainly
not less than 1OO per cent would be the
result of an investment, and possibly ooo
per cent. This scheme looked suspicious to
the post office officials when ii was brought
to their attention, and the investigation
for it has not been learned that Vaughan
forwarded any of the profits to spectators.

Byron and Napoleon.
From the London Outlook.

Tom tUV
The more l think of Byron the more
clear IL becomes to me that he is, first,
second and third, tragic figure. He was
the child of a loveless marriage, that con-
slant source of huge armies of discordant
natures. His upbringing was tragic; his
marriage was tragic his loves were
tragic, mis- death. which at first l thought
only tragic-farce, is actual tragedy. By
ron and Napoleon. contemporaries. were
the analogues and compliments of each
other Byron is the passive tragedy OF
the imaginative temperament poet
using expression; Napoleon is the active
tragedy of the imaginative temperament
as warrior and wOrld-compeller, employing
deeds. Byron inevitably ends in an abor-
tive attempt at action in Greece; Napoleon
ms inevitably in an abortive attempt at
expression (the dictated memoirs) in ST.
Helena.

Conversation to Order.

From the London Madame.
No one seems to have thought of produc-
ing a useful little handbook Of short con-
versations suitable for certain occasions
when speech fails. For instance, there
might be a collection of timely utterances
for that bad quarter OF an hour before din
ner. How invaluable would be a brilliant
bon mot even though it were culled from a
cheap. popular series, to fill up one of those
gaps in the conversation so often noticeable
during a formal dinner party! Systemat-
icaIly chosen. and carefully delivered. such
utterances might fructify into spontaneous
general conversation.

Cost of Rural Delivery,

The rural free delivery will cost the
government over S21 ,000, 900 for the pres
ent fiscal year. Six years ago it started
as an experiment with an appropriation
of few hundred thousand dollars with
Machen at the head. 1t has developed
into one of the greatest political ma
chimes in history. Congressman can't do
without it and apparently don't want to
do without it. The appropriation for this
year was S20,S10000. This, together
with an additional allowance of $500 900
will be spent. Last year the total was
$15, 900, 900. For the next fiscal year the
total is So 600, 900. The congressman de-
prived of appointments by reason of the
civil service regulations, turns to rural
free delivery. He secures routes for the
farmers of his district, shows the boys
how to get appointment as carrier,
makes himself solid and builds machine
out of the rural free carriers that cannot
be equaled in holding him in his place
unless he happens to offend the carriers.
1t is officially stated that the eXpendi-
lures of the Post Office Department SO
far exceed the revenues by $4,000 600,
and will probably reach $4,000 900 before
to meet this deficit. But for rural free
delivery the deficit would not exist and
the Post Office Department would be pay
ing its own expenses.
The difficulty OF making the reduction
in the Post Office Department is manifest
in view of the favoritism the system
finds in congressional eyes Representa-
tive Jones of Virginia is one of the few
men in Congress who refuses to take adj
vantage of the opportunities of the sys-
TEN in his district, and he advises his
constituents against it. While many con-
free delivery routes, there is but one
route in Mr.. Jones district.
