said, 4 trust YOU"
If every boy or girl who has made
mistakes and gone astray could have
such friend a great many of them
would return TO a normal life. The
feeling that somebody believes in us,
trusts us-nO matter what others
believe or say-touches the heart.
Criminals are sometimes totally re-
formed through the consciousness
that somebody still believes in them,
no matter how low they may have
fallen. Could We realize how much
this trust and confidence would do
for a man when everything else has
failed we should be more generous
of our confidence in our fellows

What DR.. Carter SOUGHT.


The eminent lecturer, Dr. L. Car,
ter, self made and not wholly uncon-
scious Of the fact, was addressing
the Somerville Y. NJ. C. A.
"My dear young people," he be-
gan, ''let me refer briefly to the
humble auspices under which my
start in life was made. Without a
dollar in my pocket and with no
worldly possessions of consequence,
my indomitable nature and an in
born determination to utilize to the
fullest advantage my abilities con-
stltuted my entire assets. But even
with this modest beginning what do
you suppose was the first thing l
sought-that which at the very out
set of my career l stroye most ear
nestly to attain? ?"

A certain merchant of Baltimore
who is well known for his philan.
thropic spirit, was approached one
day by an Irishman, formerly in his
employ, who made a touching appeal
for financial assistance. Said he:
81 trust, sor, that yell find it con-
venient to help a poor man whose
house an everything in it burned
down last week, sor."
The merchant, although he gives
with free hand, exercises consider
able caution in his philanthropy, so
he asked;
"Haye you any papers or certif-
Gates to show that you have lost
everything by fire, as you say?"
The Irishman scratched his head
as if bewildered. Finally he replied:
81 did have a certificate to that
effect, sor, signed before notary,
but unfortunately, sor, it was burn
ed up with the rest of me effects"

Wonderful Growth of the South

The economic progress OF the
South has been a theme of much
comment. But when expressed in
figures it becomes a surprise even
to the most optimistic.
The Manufacturers Record has
been collecting figures which de-
monstrate that the South of today
represents "a population, an agricul.
tural and commercial actitity and
a general prosperity equivalent to
the totals of all the rest of the
courtry-North, East and West
in 1880.
Except in manufactured PRO.
duets and in the value Of assessed
property, the South practically
meets, or far surpasses, every total
Of the con- bine North, East and
West of 1880. Even as to these it
las Elk times as much CAPITAL in
vested in manufacturing and twice
as great assessed value of property
as in that year.
In 1905 the South had a popula.
tiOn of %, 100000, while the rest of
the country had, in 1880, "a, OOO,.
600.
The South, in 1905, had a rail
road mileage of 10000, while the
1880 mileage for the rest OF the
country was 81, 900.
The South last year made 3, I0O.-
600 tons of pig iron, against
1000, 0G0 for all the rest Of The
county in 1880; mined 10000, 600
tons of ccal, against $4,000, 900;
made 6,244,000 tons of coke,
against 1900, 000;produced ~, 1885,
700 barrels of oil, against 26, 0O0,-
100.
The South's capital invested in
often mills in 1905 was 1926, OOO,- I
90, ne against 5000, 900, 900 in the s

greatly deceived by the resemblance
which Professor c. d. Hazen Of

replies were often along other lines
than those expected by Clark.
Matters eliminated on a train to

a Wise Fish.

In Java they have species OF
fish that carrie a very useful gun
with him wherever he goes. This
queer fish is called the iaculator,
and his weapon is a combination air
and water gun, which nature has
provided him with. The iaculator
has the power of pickering the
mouth into a small, round tube and
squirting water through it, He is
such an expert gunner that when he
observes beetle or a fly on twig
above The yateE he invariably knocks
the insect from his perch, even
though the distance be five or six
feet. There are seven other varie-
ties of these water gun fishes, which
are known as "sportsmen" and "gun-
n1ers" on account of their queer hab-
