Senator Elect Du Pont and His Long
Fight For an Honor.

There was poetic justice in the Sc
lection of Colonel Henry A. Du Pont
of Delaware for the seat In the Unites
States senate which remained unoccu-
pied so many years because of the In
ability of ex-senator ]. Edward Ad
dicks to get It and his unwllllngness to
permit any one else to have It. 1t was
on account of the opposition of AddickA
that Colonel Du Pont was prevented
from taking seat in the senate In
1895. 1t was In that year that the con.
test in the legislature occurred, result
ing, according to the claim of the fol
lowers of Colonel Du Pont, In the
choice of the latter as senator. His
right to a seat In the senate was con
tested In that body, however, and the
case went against him by one vote. He
has fought Addicks in Delaware poll
tics for years and has at last obtained
the prize he has so long sought

my at West Point. At the head of the

Worry and Long Life,

One of the host which celebrated last
St. Patrick's day was mother of four
teen children, the first of whom may
have been born close upon century
ago. This daughter of Erin is III
years old and says she expects and in
tends to keep up celebrating for years
to come. She accounts for her long
life and good health ON the ground
that she always goes in for good
time, never worries and takes plenty
of sleep Those fourteen BARNS probu-
bly, Jess growed,' like Topsy, and
gave the mother more Joy than anxiety
all through life. They worried one an
other, of course, but the level headed
mother stood aloof and let them face
their own trials and battles and get
toughened at an age when bruises
don't hurt much.
There is point in this cheerful CEN
tenarian's philosophy Of life which Is
very captivating to the present genera
tion-that is, having good time"
Another philosopher has said, Life
would be tolerable but for its pleas
ures," and this love of good time Is
apt to end In mad race for pleasures.
Centenarians have come to that estate
along roads strewn with cares, and as
we look about upon our aged friends
we find them. as a rule, much given to
what old timers called 'tewing." They
may vex other people with their ad-
vices and fears, but they also vex
themselves and live on In spite Of It,
These good souls think that they have
something to live for, and they persist
In living in order to finish their tasks
Life was always serious with them,
but care didn't kill them just the same
1t Is the continuous pleasure seeker
who puts In worry that wears the
bearings. He frets before the picnic,
during the picnic and after the picnic,
and the after fretting is the most cor
roding Of all. So it's all right to worry
and to seek and find good time at II,
providing the worry has wholesome

Education and Reading.

We are anxious, eonscientiously anx-
ious, in these days to know what the
workingman and his family read. Be
ing told that three workingmen out Of
four read sporting papers exclusively
and that but one wife in four reads at
all, and then only cheap fiction pa.
pers, social theorists conclude that the
problems of morals and of poverty are
involved right there. With the spread
OF education, we are told, the working
classes will read something better
worth reading. But do men and WON
en- who have been educated" In the
conventional way make a better show
Ing In their reading than the crowd In
the cities of toiers? Education and
prosperity are believed TO go hand In
hand, but If the argument is valid then
the prosperous element should lie read
Ing something better worth while than
the folks at the other extreme of So
eiety. The fact is, however, that men
OF business, lawyers, doctors. men In
public life, read about the same things
rs the workingman-tha Is, the papers
and novels, And the women In the
same circle, as rule, have mo time
to read The workmans wife thinks
1t an economic sin to sit down with a
book, and the woman In the mansion
thinks 1t social sin. In the case of
the latter her company or her club or
her church or charity duties would
have to wait on the latest novel. In
both eases the excuse Is that there are
more important things In life than
reading.
Reading has been called 1.-THE night
gown of sloth.' To read merely for
the sake of reading would naturally
breed laziness, and II recreation, stlm-
illus, change of thought, can be secured
as effectually or even more effectually
In some other way than by reading,
some way broadening to existence, 1t
might prove profitable where reading
would be the reverse. Education makes
people think, but there are oplates set
up In type that puts thought to Sleep
The important thing, then, In reading
Is not the shape or size of the printed
sheet, whether newspaper or book, but
what 1t is about.

The Right Kind of Immigrants.

The majority of Americans agree
with the sentiment of Commissioner
Watchorn, who recently said: I'VE
cannot have too much immigration of
the right kind. We cannot have too
little Of the wrong kind" immigration
has made this country what it Is to-
day, and the blood of several nationall-
ties that came over originally In lmmi-
grant ships courses In the veins of the
most Of us. 1t is not the quantity Of
the immigration to be feared, but the
quality Of the bulk of 1t. As the In
spectlon system is now regulated at
Ellis island, where Commissioner
Watchorn is on guard, there is little
danger that undesirable immigrants
will get in. Last year the steamship
companies turned away 10000 appll-
eants for passage to the United States
because they saw that they were the
kind not wanted here and would have
to be transported back gratis.
1t Is said that three-fourths of the
immigrants now admitted are between
the ages OF eighteen and forty-four,
representing the youth and energy Of
the European peasantry-the spirit and
muscle to carry forward the develop
ment already begun. Commissioner
Matchorn reports that 70 per cent OF
the newcomers go straight to the agrl-
cultural states, IS per cent drift into
the mills OF the east. and the remain.
der stay over for a season In New
York aud other Atlantic ports. The
right place for the immigrants is where
muscle Is needed-tha is, the Interior
districts Of the country-and those who
seek such environment from choice
may safely be welcomed as the right
kind.

Things New Under the Sun.

Ways Of using things are new, which
the Hebrew preacher wouldn't deny IL
moralizing today. For example, cleo
trieity is from eternity, no doubt, but
the heat, light and power turned on
with a touch of the button is a sort of
twentieth century babe. Alcohol, an
other old timer. and with very equiv,
ocal reputation, too, is sweating itself
out of the potato and cornstalks to
light our homes, heat our ovens and
turn the grindstone and crank churn
If we want it to, Really 1t Is fire, mo,
ton aud sunshine by the gallon.
And then the tricks we have turned
in the pursuit of simple life! Out of
the poisonous love apple" of our great,
grandmothers we moderns evolve lus-
ciousness and health. Lettuce used to
be tolerable after a certain amount of
manipulation, and now we have a
dozen simple ways Of dressing 1t for a
side dish and sometimes eat it as 1t
comes from the ground. plus sprln-
king of salt. A generation past as
paragus WAS a rarity, and that only
for short season. Now we make 1t
a principal component in the heaviest
meal of the day and bring 1t from the

grow things that are edible instead of
contenting ourselves with the few edi-
bles that grow of themselves. We eat
raw what formerly was invariably
cooked and cook what was formerly
consumed raw or thrown away. Ameri-

viewing the fine art wonders of Eu-

place. She and her husband both spent
several weeks among tho packers and
obtained many startling facts as to

Mrs. Bloor saw the women who work
In packing houses In their homes, and

For our hearts shall not give way;
Here's to a dark tomorrow,
And here's TO a brave today!
The tale of their hosts Is countless

But the palm Is naught to the dauntless
And the cause is more and more;
Give a cheer!
We may die. but not give way:
Here's to a silent morrow,

The Rod and had Rows

a chief of police in a certain suburb
of Chicago said recently that 1.-The de
cadence of the slipper" Is primarily re-
sponsible for the crop of bad boys that
are making trouble for the officers who
enforce the law This is a new way
of putting the old proverb that spar
ing the rod is smelling the child. There
used to be boys mischevous enough 10
deserve Il licking now and then and
manly enough to come to the scratch
ut settling time, own up and take their
medicine. The strap or the rod or the
slipper was kept handy, and every of
Tense had its penalty. Occasionally a
conscientious father or mother got In
the lickings periodically on general
principles and had their offspring call
them blessed for doing 1t faithfully
after they had grown up.
Humanitarian ideas have banished
the rod from our newer pedagogical
system, and perhaps that is as it should
be. Lickings by strangers may run
into Partially and even into cruelty
and fail to impress the youth with the
justice of discipline But the lash is
permitted In the home, and 1t is the
natural duty of the parent both to the
child and to society to start the young,
sters on the good old road of recogniz-
Ing authority. Tracts and copy books

lance of learning to say mo" Many
of them should be taught to say "May

Not that she is really 50 very good all

foots all the bills, is kicking.
