SHAW, secretary of the treasury, is q
good fellow to Standard Oil. Some
few months ago, to encourage the inn
portation of gold, it was claimed, he
offered the New York City Banks a
deposit of government funds, without
interest, to cover the interest expense
of gold on passage from Europe. He
sent ten millions to the Standard Oil
bank, and notified the other bankers
afterwards. Roosevelt had to admin.

the withdrawal of the funds, and ST.

If it had been otherwise, the local
candidates would have been pushed
aside and those named above would
have been selected to carry the ban
ner. Clark county could not have
beec carried by Elrod had it not been
his home county. AS it was, the coun-
ty convention by resolution endorsed
everything that Elrod as governor
had opposed The strength of the
machine was the result of the popu-
larity of the local candidates. Elrod,
Martin, Burke, and Campbell could
never have carried the vote received
by the popular men selected by the

The Boy Who Works.
om the valdosta (Ga.) Times.

From the Vaidosta (Ga.) Times.
Do you feel many days that you have had
a hard time? Your hours are long. Your
task Is hard and wages small. The con-
tents of your weekly pay envelope will
scarcely carry you over the week. Some
times you must wear patched trousers or
a frayed coat. Your employer expects
great deal from you. Other fellows dress
well and always have money. They have
coddling fathers and mothers, while you toll
six days a week to make a living.
Never mind, young man. You are ahead
of the boy who has every luxury at home.
You are getting experience that he must
get somehow later on. Because sooner or
later. he must fight the real battle of life
himself. And you have the advantage.
While life has been made easy for him. he
lacks drill and discipline which. every life
soldier must go through. You are prepar-
ing yourself. He may go in without prepa-
ration and fall.
Work is a great blessing. You cannot see
now. but some day you will say that you
cause you were compelled to work. Be
cause you cannot get power to do things
save by doing them. Look over the sue
cessful men you know. Get their history.
Nearly every one was compelled to work
in boyhood. They toughened their mus
cles by hard work. and sharpened their
brains by looking out for themselves.
Works makes men. Luck usually fairs
Pluck nearly always wins To succeed IN
anything one must overcome obstacles.
Force and fiber are built by hardships. Grit
is as necessary In the making of a man
as gumption. Hardships are not always
handicaps. Often they are helpers. You
will understand this better in twenty years.
Meantime permit one who has lived that
twenty years and more to advise you in
this.

haven't had very high opinion of ex-
perts on insanity since August, 1872, when
I fooled several of them myself in order to
get committed to Bloomingdale Asylum,
where I sought the information for "A
Mad World" Two weeks study of Mauds-
ley and DIR. Bucknell enabled me to be
prepared for any examination they chose to
give me. Not only were the outside ex-
perts easily deceived, but the professionals
inside the asylum were stood Off for two
weeksl Indeed, as my board was paid for
three months, the superintendent wanted
to keep the money and the patient. Moth
ing but writ of habeas corpus secured
my freedom.
1t isn't any surprise to me that the
wretched murderer prefers a cell and hard
work in Sing Sing to idleness and the asso-
citation with madmen. Only few days ago
we saw in the public prints an account Of
a poor woman who had been kept in an
asylum for several years because her chill
dren wanted to get rid Of her. If we had
district attorneys worth their wages we'd
have such unnatural children sent to

Motor Dust as Insecticide.

From the London Nall
Farmers in the great apple-growing dis
tricts of Somersetshire. famous for its po-
tent cider. have noticed a remarkable free
dom from blight in orchards bordering the
high roads. Investigation has shown that
this immunity is due to the action of dust
raised by passing vehicles, that of motor
cars having naturally the greatest range.
The dust has a destructive effect pre-
cisely analogous to that of insect powder.
Motorists should know, however, that in
excessive quantities dust has a very in
furious effect on immature fruit.
