young fellow who expects to broaden
out in this great world and do things;
the fellow with whom the winsome
young woman is willing to trust her
future-not the dude and the triher,
who inherits that which he spends, and
who stands for nothing save his own
moneyed worthlessness. Perhaps the
girl Of today accepts too much. Nam
ma and grandma walked to the show
or to the social events Of the day, and
the old-timers recall with glee the de-
lightful promenades which these OPP
portunities afforded And they also
had a way Of lessening expenditures.

feel that he was verging on bank

fesses to find conditions different.
When questioned why he is not more
attentive, he usually responds I do
not care to-" This is an untruth. The
young man does not i've a least he
is not worthy Of existence, who is in
different to the fair sex. and when
pinned down he is frank enough to
say, T can not afford it." And he will
explain, My girl friends are lofty; I

tons are good enough and if l had the
money I would make society know my

grandma and mamma never accepted
after-theatre lunches in downtown
cafes. They saw no necessity for these
accessories. and promptly said no"
We believe, also, that the girl Of today
would be like the grandma and mamma
Of old, if the young man had the good
sense and honesty Of purpose frankly
TO say that he could not afford these
things. The sensible girl Of today is
no more dificult to please than the
girls of former generations when she
understands the situation 1t does not
lie with her to question the financial
condition of her escort He should
have the manliness to avoid extrava-
gances he cannot AFFORD, and if the
young woman is worthy OF attention

is no sense in the young man thinking
he cannot be gallant except on the dol

he can be attentive and show proper
appreciation for the young woman, and

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Nov. 30.-Despite all the
adverse legislation that has been
printed in the newspapers pertaining
to the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railroads, these two stocks
were the leaders n the upward move
ment IN the stock market today. AL
though the volume Of trade was not
large ana the market had all the
appearances OF a holiday mood, North
ern Pacific advanced over three points
and Great Northern two. The buying
was Of an excellent character and as
usual il was ascribed to the interests
close TO the Hill management
a surprise was sprung on the trade
today when Tennessee Coal 4 Iron
sold "ex-rights' at SIS per share and
the quotation on the original trans
action was practically the same as the
last business day. This represented a
rise in the value of the shares Of over
eight points for the day It. however,
has been well understood in the street
that the stock was cornered and the
entire capitalization is owned by one
Of the larger western operators. The
outside interest in the stock is SO
small that its sensational advance was
almost ignored. Brokerage houses as
rule for months have refused TO ac-
cept trades in Tennessee Coal & iron,
except for cash
The call loan rate today was again
higher, loans being made as high as
% per cent. This is not particularly
unusual at this time Of the year as
the large payment Of dividends falling
due around the first of December al
ways causes a stringency in the call
loan market.
The market as whole was inclined
to sluggishness with losses apparent
early III the session in such stocks as
St. Paul Reading, Union Pacific South
ern Pacific and Copper. All of these
active stocks showed losses ranging
from one-half to one point
Notwithstanding the high rates pre-
vailing for call loans, stocks regained
their early weakness and closed strong
at about the highest prices of the ses-
sion.

WHAT MAN SHOULD EAT.

Those who do not want to rank as
extremists will do well to eschew the
glanduIar organs, such as sweetbreads
and liver to pin their faith to mutton
and one or two kinds Of fish, to give up
coffee and drink weak China tea. Those
who wish to go further should reflect
first that man is neither carnivorous
nor herbivorous. For long scientists
have obscured the view by useless ar
guments as to whether or not a man
was meant to live like a COW.
There are other species than the
flesh and grass-eating animals; all
students of comparative anatomy know
now that the teeth of human beings
are Identical with those of the frugiv-
orous apes who live in fruits and nuts
Not only SO, but the proportion of
bowel length to body length in man
corresponds exactly with that in the
same species in marked contrast to
what obtains in all carnivorous ami
mails where the bowel is proportion
ately short,
A study of anatomy therefore sug-
gests fruit diet as the most suitable;
further confirmation is afforded by the
obvious prediction of nearly all chill
dren for such food. The best fruits
for food are apples, bananas, grapes
nuts, raisins and figs.
Nuts are especially valuable owing
to the large amount of fat they con-
tain; the old fashioned idea that they
are indigestible is due partly to the
error in taking them at the end of an
already more than ample meat meal,
and partly to insufficient mastication.
Chestnuts are the easiest to digest and
make an excellent food. Many other
fruits may be taken, always remember
ing that the stone fruits sometimes
disagree. and that acid fruits should be
taken in moderation. Strawberries
contain a considerable amount of purin
and should be avoided by all with a
equity or rheumatic tendency. Among
fruits we include those of the cereals.
such as wheat and rice. White bread
is free from purln, but brown contains
a varying amount derived from the
husk. The most wholesome form Of
bread is unleavened.-From the Ian

DR.. Washington's remarks had to do
more with the concrete than did DR.
Adler's. He skillful1y described how
negro leadership grows, how it results
from action, how it is nothing without
the deed. Tuskegee started making
bricks by making them, not by making
recipes. 1t failed a number Of times
until Mr.. Washington had to pawn his
own watch IN order to get the money
wherewith to continue the effort And
now millions of bricks are yearly made
at the institution.
Said DR.. Adler in effect. to lead is
not to condescend but to do. The
white man by helping the negro helps
himself; the negro by helping the neg
70 helps himself; by effort and genu-
Inc accomplishment only can either Of
them become leaders. Or. Adler's plea
was as much for the leader as for the
man led. People condescend to be led
only a little while by the man who
condescendg to lead. But they desire
to be helped. Such desires are insa-
table True leadership Is assistance.
DR.. Adler made reference to the
young colored man Of high education
and said he had often wondered whcth-
er such an one must not often feel very
lonely, removed from white compan-
ionship on the one hand and equally
apart from his own race on the other
But, on inquiry. he had found that
they had no such feelings. Their
duty was so very plain that they could
not doubt for a moment in what di-
rection it led. Every young negro
who leaves college inspired by the cuI-
tured persons desire to be Of use has
this advantage over the white gradu-
ate-he cannot feel any doubt as to
where his duty leads. It leads him
among his own people."-New York

A SHAME.

It's shame to take the money that
they pay for being funny,
When there isn't any brightness in
your brain;
When you're feeling sad and lonely
and your feeble pen can only
scribble dreary dirges, IN a minor
strain;
When your thoughts are most I'M
witty and your words are quite
unpretty,
And your rhymes lack spontaneity
and verve,
When you simply can't BE funny, It's
shame to take the money
And I wouldn't. but I've got a heap
Of nerve!
At some hidden doom you shlver-is it
lover or is it liver?
Well, at any rate It's something
pretty sad
And the devil Of the shop, he stands
beside you begging copy,
When there isn't any copy to be had.
Then you write a dreary sonnet ana
destroy it when you con it,
For you're paid for doing scintillat-
ing bits.
But you can't dtspel the gloom or get
a single CLEAN of humor
From your weary, wabbly, woozy,
wooIly wits!
So the public must excuse us. if at
time our brain refuses
To give birth to anything that
makes one smile;
If we start a funny" column with a
poem that is solemn,
Or eniemas that are Browninges9ue
in stJ lie.
Pray you. let your hearts not harden
toward Us bards-we beg your
pardon,
But we can't dope humor just be-
cause We're game
Wit is wit, and one can't fake it.
Honeywell, we hate to take it,
But we need it, so we take 1t just
the same!

WITH THE EDITORS.
The Hammond Teacher in Particular.

The dismissal of Miss McGraw from
the Hammond school has caused a
broader ripple than was at first antici-
pated The indianapolis Star Says
editorially of Miss McGraw and of the
teacher in general:
The unfortunate public school teach
er catches it "a-comin' or a-gwine."
Her pay is much less than that of her
male associates because the profund
social economists and financiers who
regulate salaries complain that she will
get married at the very first chance
and ungratefully leave her school in the
lurch They say she is an uncertain
quantity, and therefore does not de-
serve any better pay.
"As a matter of fact, however, will
ing teachers may be to abandon the
sacred cause of education for the sake
OF experimenting with matrimony, they
have but little opportunity for the
transferring of their energies Over
each scholhouse might be written
Abandon hope of marriage, all We
who enter here There are excep-
lions, of course, but they only go to
prove the rule that teaching for the
average woman who enters into it is
a permanent job.
There are various reasons for this,
one being that the nature of her call
ing is such that 1t brings her in con-
tact with few desirable specimens of
the opposite sex. Another is that the
labor commonly required of her is so
arduous and eXhausting that she Is in
no mood or condition during her few
leisure hours to enter into the social
pursuits whereby man is inveigled into
matrimony; or if she does engage in
them, by reason of the exaetions of
her profession she is seldom able TO
shine sufficiently to attract the hover
ing but elusive male person. In effect,
therefore, the teacher lives much the
life of a nun and is far from being
the uncertain quantity of the school
trustees cherished tradition.
In order to keep up the convenient
fiction that she is not to be depended
on and thereby be able to maintain her
salary at its present narrow limit with
out question. it would be the part of
wisdom and consistency for trustees
and superintendent to encourage
matrimony among their teachers, even
to the extent of establishing a bureau
or agency for that purpose. 50 far
from doing that. along comes the super
schools and discharges a teacher who
by unusual fortune is active and popu-
lar in social life and has q string of
male admirers. There is no charge
against her other than her disposition
to forget her school when she is out of
it. and To dtsport herself after the
manner of other girls, but because of
this she must go"
And there you are. What is a poor
teacher to do? According to the Ham
mond dictum she has no right to look
upon man. however fascinating. but
must cast down her eyes and silently
pass him by. But suppose she is SO
impressed by the presidents views that
she feels her duty to marry and dis
courage race suicide to be greater than
that impelliug her to spend her life
training the ideas of other people
young ones; must she first, before the
husband is selected or captured, resign
her school? 1t looks that way.
