The Cheerful Man.

Boston Globe.
Whatever woman may be In her
hours Of case-perhaps uncertain. coy
|'and hard TO please-whenever the
world goes wrong and trouble hangs
black above the home, 1t is she, nine
times out Of ten, who looks into the
face of the future most serenely.
Mark Twain, in his autobiography now
in course Of publication. pays this tri-
butte to bis wife, who died several
years ego in Florence: "She was al
ways cheerful, and she was always
able to communicate her cheeriulness
to others. During the nine years that
we spent in poverty and debt she was
always able to reason me out Of my
despairs and find a bright side 10 the
clouds, aud make me see it. In all
that time never knew her TO utter a
word Of regret concerning our altered
circumstances, nor did I ever know
her children to do the like. For she
had taught them, and they drew their
fortitude from her"
Too many men get discouraged too
easily. They should learn a lesson
from the women. When business goes
to the bad, grin, and the quicker will
fortune be retrieved. There is no bet
ter medicine for shattered health than
"a. sunny spirit When greed and graft
lay heavily upon your heart as a citi-
zen, don't sit down and NOPE; rather
look beyond the darkness to the light.
the light that shines from the honest
eyes CT millions of Americans who not
only seek justice. but will have It. The
discouraged man is beaten before the
battle begins; the cheerful man always
has fighting chance.

rhe pr!yllepe Of Debate.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
The announcement that elections
will be held for a Philippine Parlia.
ment next spring calls for the several
specuIadons in the press Of this coun-
try as to the Philippine capacity for
sengovernment. AS is always the
case in the country which holds the
dependency In subsection the opinion
prevails that they are not. 1t is only
fair to cuncede that this belief has
more foundation than the exactly sim.
liar conviction. which was held in Eng,
land at the time the American colon
les claimed the right to rule their owa
affairs. But these speculltlonS are
somewhat inapposito since the fact 10
that the present proposition does not
contemplate enough seltgouernnoat
for the Philippines to swear by. The
people Of those islands are to be Al.
lowed to elect one branch Of a 1eSiS-
latuive body which will be held in
check, BY an appointive chamber more
completely under the control of the
Executive than the British House Of
Lords, and next by the executive pow.
er itself. Under these circumstances.
tho Philippine representative body
will have Just about as much power
as the Russian Duma,, namely, the
ability. to express the sentiments of
the subjects. II, as is the rule in con-
stitutional government, the represen-
tatiye body should have the sole pow,
er to originate appropriation and reve.
nue. measures, then 1t would hold the
key TO eeE.goyernment. But there is
no statement of such q grant of pow
err in this scheme, and the intent to
concede II at present may vol be
doubted.

To describe the processes of baking
pumpkin pies would require one skill.

sort of cleaver and cuts the pumpkin
into large pieces, which are fed into
steam chopping machine and reduc,

placed in huge copper boiler, capa,
bile of holding perhaps % gallons. Aft.
ier the boiling has been completed, a
pasty mixture. Of eggs, milk. sugar,

Some years ago England was labo:-

friend in all Europe, and the United
States mad not then unlearned the art
of twisting the lions tail. But Eng
land was equal TO the occasion, and
she assembled the fleets Of n dozen
stations in the Channel, and Europe
well knows what that means. The

III. Really Busy Man.

Chicago Tribune.
Those who tell you they always
are rushed to death" usually accom-
pllsh the least, and largely because
they are imaginative. The really busy
man, who turns of an immense amount
of work with the quiet and precision
,of IA perfect machine, must have the
imagination to look ahead a day, or
month, or year At the least. his
thought always is few seconds ahead
Of his action, his head saves his neeIs'
he is not continually tripping over his
own feet. But the buzzy man never
can understand the busy man. HaV'
ing no Imagination himself, he saves
his own face by saying that the man
who never fuses over his work has
little to do.
Let US hear no more ABOUT magma
ton being impracticable. 1t Is one Of
the most practical things in the world.
A due proportion OF it, used with judg.
ment, will from many a nlupder free

The Hearst Scare.

the people, who have repndiated the
teaching and rejected the teacher.
Hearst has had his day, and with hlS
defeat Hearstism also will decline and
pass away. It was not wholly an aFti'
fetal movement. On the contrary
Hearst had but taken advantage 1 the
popular protest against etaolnetl1H

ends. But this protest has hbd Its
effect in orther and better waysI The
whole political atmosphere has been

move the causes Of unrest.

with $4,000 Holds On to His SEQ a
Week.
From the New York Herald.
With S50.OOO in securities and $1O,-
zoe in cash, Raymond l. Blakeslee, a
lawyer Of 81 Nassau street, made his
way to the cellar and machinery rooms
of Keith Z Proctor's theater, at Tween
ty.elghth street and Broadway a
week ago and found Watson Raine,
a bent and grlzled engineer, at work
there. Mr.. Blakeslee turned over the
100000 to hine and told him he
" ouid receive in short time about
$4,000 more, the balance Of legacy
from Hardy Bliss, brother of Raine's
mother and wealthy lanfholder OF
Canada. who died recently, leaving
one.fourth OF his estate to the engi-
neer.
Raine took the money, heard the
lawyers explanation of its source,
and kept right on at work. He still
tolls from Z to o'clock every day,
and has told his employers that he
win continue to act as engineer or
the playhouse until he dies or is dis
charged. He did not tell them any
thing about his legacy until by chance
yesterday F. r. Proctor, Jro visited
Raine, who has been employed for
twenty years by F. F. Proctor. Mr..
Proctor noticed several new tools, APP
parenty Of the finest grade, in the
engine-room and asked where they
has come from.
II bought EN-" said the engineer,
bluntly.
Mr. Proctors inquiries finally sltclt-
ed reluctant announcement Of the
legacy. Raine then asked that Mr..
Proctor take charge of the $4,000 for
him. and arrangements we're made TO
,lcposit It to his credit in banks and
trust companies. His wages are $40
a week.
