New Standard Of Living.

There are even in these days a good
many families in the United States who
find it possible to do certain amount
of moderately high thinking and still
cultivate some of the graces of life. says
Scribner's magazine. They may be
obliged TO live simply and yet may not
need to use up all their vitality i'll man.
ual labor True, they must walk where
others ride. they must take thought to
their apparel, that it be presentable at
small cost. and when they entertain
their friends they must do it simply.
But they have time to read books and
they have money to educate their chill
dren. Oftener than not they are per
sons whose family traditions incline
them to be fastidious i'll social matters.
They and their forebear have been ac-
customed not only TO well-bred. but
interesting people. and have kept in
touch with what was going on in the
world; in short, they have taste for
the best society.
Twenty-Five years ago there was no
reason why they shouldn't maintain
their inherited or acquired right TO do
it, but the tendency on the part of GER
tain of their fellow citizens to what has
been characterized as "the habit of
getting rich has changed all that. 1t
is not only that the accumulation of
colossal fortunes restricts the financial
chances of the moderately ambitious
majority. but it deprives them of some
innocent and legitimate comforts and
pleasures to which they think them
selves reasonably entitled. by increas-
ing so tremendously the cost of living
while the standard of luxury is raised
in proportion. This. to be sure. is an
old CRY, but to the impecuniOus major
ity it does not cease to be a live issue
Yet one cannot find fault with the
people who have made money to want
to spend it; one cannot be surprised if
their ideas are crude and if they fail
to appreciate a refined simplicity
Most of us spend all the money we can
afford and we should not thank anyone
who should presume 10 dictate to us
what we ought to buy with it, The
very rich do not in the least intend TO
make life hard for the rest OF the
world. In fact, from the knd-hearted
desire to give pleasure we get some
bad results, such as. for in
the poor girl with rich tastes.

Bart. yet is always in an unnatural and
demoraliZing position: and the young

forts to keep up the pace with his rich
mates.

One Estimate of TiIIman.

Say what we NAV about Tillman, il
will not be denied that he came out of
the rate bill fight with flying colors.
Though he and the president are far
from being friends. he had the manli-
ness to give the president due praise
for efforts which resulted in the pas
sage of a bill which aims TO put all
shippers on an equal footing This es-
innate of TIllman by James CTeelman,
the well known correspondent, will be
interesting:
He is tall, deep in the chest, sim
envy, loose-limbed and awkward. There
is not a more formidable figure TO be
found in America.

coarse. The brow is wide. but not

the chin of a desperate. The neck is
thick and muscular.
But the head is almost Napoleonic
in its strength and symmetry and IL is
ordinarily carried high, with an air Of
defiance.
THE face makes one think of piracy

of the head that redeems and explains
il. Not that there is any trace of cum
ming or treachery in the countenance:
yet it is beyond comparison as an ex-
ample of savage masculinity.

DAILY. STORY.
THE MAN IN THE CELLAR.


Copyright. 1906. by X. NJ. Whitehead
My uncle. Joseph Warner, was a
farmer living five miles from the vii
lagc of Scottsville, and he and my
Aunt Martha We're without children.
! One day in September l was sent up
10 Uncle Joe's on an errand and told
that | might stay all night. l WAS then
close 10 fourteen years old | helped
my aunt attend to the live stock. AS
we were milking the last COW in the
barnyard after shutdown we saw Il
strange man pass along the highway to
the house. but gaze him no particular
attention.
1t turned colder and began to rain
soon after dark. and our supper was
also an hour late. 1t was between s
and . O'Clock, and l had helped Aunt
Martha to wash up the dishes, when
she sent me down cellar to bring up a
piece of meat wanted for breakfast.
took candle to light my way, and
had to cross the cellar To where four
barrels stood in Il row. She had said
the second barrel from the right. AS |
passed the first barrel l heard move
ment inside it. l wonder why l did not
turn and fee. as the sounds brought
my heart into my mouth. but | passed
the barrel, got the meat and even man
aged to whistle on my way upstairs.
When | had shut the door, however, the
sight of my white face made the wo-
man eXclaim:
For the lands sake, but the boy has

ed her of the strange man we had seen
when milking. She unused minute
and then said:
You may he right. / am going down
TO see. If there is Il man down there
Ill discover him. but he shan't suspect

She took the candle from my hand
and went down, humming the air of Il
song to herself. and as she came back
upstairs she was talking about the
meat ana saying that Uncle Joe must
get a rat trap. When the door had
been closed she sat down TO the table
and said:
Jimmy, you We're right about the
man. He is hidden i'll that first barrel.
Now. then, we want to think what we
shall do
1t was raining eats and dogs and
dark night. II was half Il mile to the
nearest neighbours, and we felt that
the man must be something worse than
n tramp to have hidden himself away.
There We're three cellar windows, but
over them had been tackled strong wire
netting. The man must have entered
the house and gone down cellar.
III tell you what the miserable
skunk is after" said my aunt after
awhile. Uncle Joe will bring home
500 when he comes. and this fellow is
after it. He'll keep IN hiding until
your uncle comes and gets to bed and
asleep, and then he'll rob the house
that is, he thinks he will, but I'll show
him what's what IN the next fifteen
minutes"

St. Louis Republic: The average
man is not accustomed TO regard his
health as his very best asset, yet that
is precisely what it is. The man who
will accord due regard to his health
from a strictly business standpoint
will go further. last longer and accom-
pIish more in the end than one who
makes health an after consideration.
Success which is attained at the eX-
