Farming is virtually the only great
series of occupations that is unOrgan-
lied, mSyndicatcd, unmon0polizcd, un-
controlled, except as it is dominated
by natural laws of commerce and the
arbitrary limitations imposed by organ
iZatiOn in other business In time
of extreme organization and Subordina-
tion of the individual the farmer still
retains his traditional individualSm
and economic ScparatonesS. His en-
tire scheme of life rests on intrinsic
earning by means of his own efforts.
The scheme In most other businesses
is to make profits, and these profits are
often nonintriuSic and fictitious. as, for
example, In the habit of gambling in
stocks. in which the Speculator by
mere ShrcwdncSS turns over his money
to advantage, but earns nothing in the
process and contributes nothing to
civilization in the effort. If the farm
cr steps outside his own realm he is
met on one side by organized capital
and on the other by organized labor.
He IS confronted by fixed earnings.
What he himself secures is Il remainder
left mt the end of years business

headed business man away from prac-
teal pursuits Mr.. Gage is just sew
enty years of age and his financial ca
rccr began in Il bank in the central
part of New York state tifty-thrce
years ago. His prominence as II tinan-
cier may be judged from the fact that
he was for several years at the head of
the leading bank of Chicago, was three
times president of the American Bank
ers' association, served as secretary OF
the treasury of the United States from
1897 to 1902 and since the latter year
has been at the head of ihe United
States Trust company, one of the lar
geSt institutions of the kind in this
country
Secretary Gage was president of the
board of directors of the Columbian
exposition and has twice been preSi-
dent of the Civic federation of Chi
cago For number of years he has
been Il student of occult subjects.
About dScn years ago he was
guest at banquet in the Auditorium
hotel when in the midst of the feaSting
and speaking he had a vision of his
brother, Il western mine owner, holding
gun. Then he saw the weapon eX
plOde and his brother lying dead on Il
lonely country road. \ few hours
later he received word that his brother
had been shot and killed in the man
ner shown in his vision. As the result
of this he took up the study of eSOterc
philosophy under Thomas Hudson. 1t
is said he has now become Il member
of the theoSOphiSt colony Mt Point
Iona, Cal, ana that he recently paid
$1,000 to Mrs. Katherine Tingley, head
of the American branch of the cult, for
ground on which to erect a residence
there.

Both are now dead. Mr.. Judge sue
ceeded Nine. BlavatSky as head of the
society upon the death of the latter
and on his death the mantle fell upon
the shoulders of Mrs. Tngley. One
of the beliefs of theosophy is that of re
| incarnation of souls and the statement
is made that Mrs. Tingley's followers
suppose the soul of the late Mr.. Judge
to reside at present in the body Of
Mrs. Tingley'S dog Spot, who is treat
ed with very great reverence in the

The Alps. from II geological point OF
view, are very recent. The Welsh
hills, though, comparatively speaking,
insignificant, are far more ancient.
They had been mountains for ages and
ages before the materials which now
compose the RiGi or the Pilatus were
deposited. Indeed, we may say that
ii is because they are so Old that they
have been SO much worn down. The
Alps themselves are crumbling and
being washed away. and if no fresh
elevation takes place the time will
come when they will he no loftier than

Chief Means of Defense Among All
Old World Apes.

Old World Apes.
Among all old world apes the teeth
are the chief weapons for defense
against natural foes and for combatS
for mates or tribal supremacy. The
CANNES are in most cases enormously
developed, inSOmuch that i'll Informed
naturaliStS have suggested that a near
relationship must exist between the
primateS and the carnivora. AS Il mat
ter of fact, these formidable teeth have
nothing to do with Authorization, but
are as purely weapons of war aS are
the bayonet and the Maxim gun. In
practically every emergency demand
ing unusual energy, obStinacy and
courage they com" into plac.
In every conflict with the world, the
flesh and the ,icvil-as such things are
understood in pithecoid socirty-the
temporal and maSSetcr muscles are the
chief arbiterS of war. TO become a
great and powerful anthropoid it is alb
solutcly and brutally necessary to have
large and strong jaw, to give them at
tachment to the teeth and good lever
age to the muscles. That for an inn
menSc epoch our prchuman ancestors
achieved success in life in like man
ner Is as clear as tn" print of "Maga"
to those Whp have learned to read ma
lures handwriting.
Since those days of true Arcadan
simplicity our life has become bewil-
deringly complex and our Glethods for
settling social difficulties have changed
generally for the better. But here, as
in so many other instances, the habits
of past age have left an mdelihle i'm

A petinent cry comes from the Colo.
RADIO Springs Gazette against the
Christmas tree habit. As 1t remarks:
This is the season when the man who
a little later on has Christmas trees
for sale sharpens his Ak and gets ready
to go out into the mountains on his an
nual tour of destruction. By the time
his job is finished he has usually cut
down hundreds OF young pine and
spruce trees. to replace which will re-
quire several years Of growth" The
Monongahela and Ohio valleys have
suffered year after year from the de-
nudiny OF the forest crowned hills by
unexpected floods. Nothing has been
done to replace the trees turned into
merchant lumber. The sentimental
view Of the Christmas tree should give
way to the water supply. To cut down
old trees is bad enough, but to nip the
young evergreens is serious evil be-
yond neutrality-suspicious. CONNER
