Acting on the advice Of Mr. Carnegie the young

with his colleagues to little restaurant where the

The country when it hears Of this outrage upon
man whose father has an annual income Of $40 900
will be moved to indignation against the jury sys-

break the infamous scheme Of human captivity which
jury service involves There has been feeling
against the jury system for some time and we be-
ieve this will bring climax Of resentment AS far
Pittsburg is concerned none Of her millionaires
will be caught this way again.

SINCE BABY CAME

Aye; SO it is, my dear,
The truant cuff is ZEN where did place it
Here in the baby's drawer.
The ''baby's drawer,'' hal
Well do / mind the day
When I, too, had drawer wherein to place
My collars, cuffs, my shirts
And small belongings;
Impediments in which then I took b.
A certain pride.
These were my very own
I had drawer for them, a dresser drawer,
And twas my very own.
That was, I think, less than three years agone.
Before that day
All, me; how memory dwells
Upon those lean and lonely years
/ had trunk; relic of barbarous DAVIS
And bachelorhood
/ had trunk, and there it was my use
To place my worldly goods-my all in all
Joyous habiliaments Of occasions glad,
And treasured trophies, and the symbols Of
Single and most depraved delights.
But-Tempora mutantur-
And now, tho burdened with possessions rare
All mine in name,
have no place to store them.
Baby's things and Hers
Monopolize the closets, all the drawers,
The attic-e'en the basement is not free
And when seek a handkerchief or cuff
I know not where to find it, nor on whose
Belongings shall lay my Decorating hands
Joy in what own, forsooth, and ret
STILL on occasions do I sigh to have
A cracker box or something that is mine
Exclusively and to my own use
Forever dedicate!

Choosing an Occupation.

ssXN HAT shall be when grow upq'' is a
question which nearly every boy has de-
cided and reconsidered a great many times before
he is - years old. Circumstances determine the
occupation for the most Of us and yet great many
conquer circumstances and realize their ambitions
and qualifications.
Anything which will help boy to decide intel
hgenty and wisely what to be will no doubt be re-
ceived with fair consideration by any serious minded
lad and his parents and with that idea in mind the
Sunday Journal will publish series Of articles on
choosing an occupation. The articles have been
carefully prepared by who has availed himself
OF the experience and wisdom Of men Of prominence
in various lines of activity professional CONNER
cial and industrial. ..ssst
Of course only one occupation can be taken up at
time, but in due time great variety Of employ
ments will be discussed This series begins today
with the physician, who is descrcbed as one Of
the noblest products of civilization The writer
places the physician high among his fellows, but no
higher, perhaps than he deserves to be if he rises
faithfully to his responsibilities and duties.

What skilful hand for doing everything she finds
And they cannot live without her. she's SO womanly

For It's Nellie here, and Nellie there, and Nellie all

When to Quit School.

SE%HE tone Of DR. Jordan's remarks at the high
school graduations are to be commended in
contrast with the customary note OF hattery and
gllsh on such occasions. He took the opportunity
to say that the world does not any one a living
and that the state does not owe every one an adj
yanced education. Indeed he held that the higher
education was for those who felt that they had a
call to it. Not every graduate from the eighth grade
should enter the high school nor should all who
emerge from the high school continue their studies
Further Many would be benefited and be stronger
members Of the community If they quit books at one
or the other Of these stopping points and entered
upon. their life work.
This is stand somewhat antagonstic to the
notion about education, but it contains
germ Of truth. Unless pupil is prepared to work
as hard in the school as he would out of it in the
pursuit Of gainful calling that person is making'a
mistake to use up his youth in dilletante frtations
with education. The world perhaps holds some re-
markable rewards for such boys and girls, provided
they have trend toward some certain occupation
But even If such persons have no genius they have
In the world the almost certain expectation OF pro-
motion by slow degrees the reward OF hdeEty.
TO such, youth spent in schools is youth partially
wasted. If they emerge from the schools mper-
fectly educated thru lack Of interest and appllca-
hion they have lost Of the time in which they
Z might have made themselves masters of calling.
Sc The spirit of the American institutions is that
ssvery boy and girl should have foundation OF
learning sufficient to at least carry them without
Humiliation thru any Of the usual personal and bust
ness associations. But 1t does not necessarily mean
that every and all persons shall be pushed to the
limit of the school system.

The Berwin Fund.

THE Berwin fund has passed the $4,000 mark.
This is creditable exhibition Of the apprecia-
ton which the people of Minneapolis entertain for
that quality Of manhood displayed by Captain Ber
win who heroically sacrificed his own life in the
discharge Of his duty as fireman. And yet these
contributions have come from only a few people
comparatively. There are many others undoubtedly
who have intended to enroll themselves among the
contributors Of this fund but who have neglected
to do So - .@N#.%E II.
It is estimated that this fund, together with a
little insurance and small sums derived from the
city and from fraternal societies, will make up APP
Iproximately 81 900 for this family A small part Of
this must be taken to discharge the mortgage the
little home which Captain Berwin undertook to pro-
/ vide for those who we're dependent upon him.
In addition to his wife and children he was pro
viding for the Of his aged mother in insti-
tuition where her infrmties could be most satisfac-
torily ministered to. Her care still remains tax
upon the widows slender resources. It will readily
be seen that the income from the fund already on
| hand cannot be large, matter how wisely admin
stered and that there is still occasion for further
contributions IN order that the derived may ap
proach the necessities Of this worthy family. 81
In this connection The Journal wishes to
say that at no time has Mrs. Berwin wished to be
regarded applicant for help, but on the other
hand, she has been properly soicitous that she
should not be SO regarded. All the more therefore,
should the people Of this city see to it that she and
her little placed beyond the danger Of want
by the loss of the faithful husband and father
Under the circumstances twice the money contrib
nted would be more than moderate expression
of appreciation of John Berwin by the people of
this city, and it is hoped that amount double that
already raised may eventually be placed in the hands
of reliable trustee for the benefit Of the widow and
her little children .,

Genius and Insanity.

nR. GEORGE M. GOULD, a noted opthalmologst,
= has recently contributed to the world dis
cussion of the alleged connection of genius and in,
sanity which indignantly rejects the accepted rela
ton and throws the responsibility for the suerings
OF men Of genius not upon defect in their intel
lectual development, but upon eye strain. The key
to De Quincy suffering reflex neurosis In the
Of Carlyle whose indigestion is scorned by DR..
Gould Gas blunder Of diagnosis distorting our
whole view Of man, the painter could not help
carrying to the canvas the exhausted look in the
eyes Of all the later portraits Of the sage Of Chelsea
Carlyle's real disposition was sweet mild and
kind. Eye strain--not indigestion -soured him.
The sensitive the nature Of the man, says DR..
Gould, the more the reflex tends to be cerebral.
The more resistant the mans nature the more the
reflex from eye strain tends to be dgestional Hux-
ley and Carlyle would have indigestion. On the
other hand Robert Browning would and did have
chiefly cerebral reflex from eye strain. Like De
Quincy, Carlyle, Darwin and Huxley never sus-
pected the cause Of their life IS tragedy.
The explosion Of the delusion that genius and
insanity allied is to be attributed according to
DR.. Gould, to one of the greatest discoveries Of
recent years -astygmatism. The diseases called
biliousness headache, dyspepsia and by many other
names are the result Of astygamatic conditions in
the eyes-eye strain-and not to organic disease.
The oculist can cure dyspepsia not by dosing the
stomach, but by relieving the strain upon the eyes
Tt is tragic to think that Carlyle's life might
have remained sweet and kind and his Wife's been
grand sweet song had they each had proper
spectacles and that the intense sufferings of De
Quincy might easily have been averted had science
been advanced in his life time to the point it has
reached today.

"A Hint tc Suffragists.

TIE fact that recently in Minneapolis two high
= school girls ii their teens debated the ques-
ton Of the direct primary versus the convention
system Of nominations, and, according to the pri-
yate opinion of all the judges, the debate for
their sde shows that theoretically at least politics
is not beyond the understanding Of women.
The principles Of the constitution have always
been explained topupils Of both in the public
schools and the girls have usually learned them
with as much ease as the boys. Yet women do not
understand politics Why is 1T Is it because
political action by men is based some private
Interpretation Of the constitution whose basis has
not been revealed to woman9 If SO where do the
men, educated in the same public schools with the
women, learn it
The facts seem to show that with an start
in the principles of political action the girls fall
very far behind the boys when it comes to their
practical application and lose all interest in
them This is doubtless due in part to the fact that
boys know that when they come of age they will
have voice and vote in the conduct of affairs
while the girls understand that when they leave
school they much thru with civil government
as they are with astronomy It is memory to them.
The equal suffrage people would probably say
that this is but another instance of the tyranny of
man over woman. He allows her to study civil
government in the abstract, but he will not allow
her to apply her knowledge. If the laws provided
that when a girf who had been taught arithmetic
became Of age she should never again be allowed
to add up column Of figures it would look absurd,
but the government sees no absurdity in declaring
that carefully instilled knowledge Of the principles
Of civil government do not make her eligible to vote
But there is this to be noted, that the girls who
study civil government in the schools could soon
vote if they demanded the ballot The sufragists
should get after the girls who come out Of the
public schools and convince them that they ought to
demand the ballot # they cannot interest the
women who know civil government theoretically and
can debate the primary election law better than
boys they can never interest anybody else.

The MOrgan'S Grove Fair.

The twenty-second annual exhibit
ton of the Morgan's Grove fair be-
gan on Tuesday under cerulean skies.
After whole month of rain, almost
everybody felt more or less shaky
about the weather, but last Friday the
clouds disappeared and brilliant sun
shine prevailed for the first time in
many weeks. On the opening day
of the fair the exhibits were placed In
order and the amusements and booth
keepers got ready for business. The
fair has very good exhibits in the
various departments. the fancy work
in the ladies' department attracting
particular attention because Of its
beauty. The usual number of tents
are on the ground and the favor of
the hospitality extended By our peo-
pie to the strangers is as pleasing as
ever.
The horse show is the most impor-
tant feature Of the fair this year. The
entries run up into the hundreds, and
many handsome animals are shown.
There are horses here from as far
as Culpeper county, Va. On We'd
nesday, when the fancy horses were
shown, the performance was enjoyed
by very large crowd of persons.
The managers of the fair are greatly
pleased with its'success again this year
and say that it is highly satisfactory
financially and in other respects.
