Is terribly earnest business, which
will not bear to be trified with. 1t Is
no mere holiday affairs of plumes and

a dreadful work, from beginning to

terrible In the energies 1t evokes, In
the sacrifices it makes; a business tru-

selfish man, no matter even though his
self seeking concerns his highest in

Christian man. We have to bear each

law Of Christ. Our battlefield Is the
world. We may not stand neutral in
any righteous cause. We are our
brothers keeper; we are human, and
anything human should belong to us
we are Christians, and must remember
that whatever Is done to one of the

wherever there is sin, vice, crime,
sickness, suffering, poverty, evil of any
kind, doing its SorroWful work among

lowers of Jesus be found, fighting With
these things as their Master gave them

There Is a superstition in this coun-
try that there Is distinction In being
rich. But board Of tax revision has
just discovered that Charles Lockhart
Of Pittsburg, who was little heard of
while he lived and whose death, some
months ago, attracted small attention,
left an estate worth $1S0,000,000.
Charles Lockhart2 Charles Lockhart2 2
Who was Charles Locknart? And yet
$1S0,000,000 is lot of money. If there
were distinction in mere wealth, the
name of Lockhart would be famous in
stead of unknown. One hundred and
eighty millions is eighteen times the
wealth Of Stephen Girard when he was
the American Croesus, in 1881. 1t Is
six times as much as was left by the
original Astor in 1S4S. 1t is just equal
to the sum William H. Vanderbilt left
when he died, the richest man in the
country, and one Of the very richest in
the world. But to-day an obscure man
quietly drops off, and it takes a board
of tax revision with It's magnifying
glass to discover his little estate of
$1S0,000,000. And yet still we foolishly
suppose wealth gives distinction. Why,
young author Of popular novel has
thousand times more distinction than
this Lockart A good artist or sue
cessful scientist basks IN the sunshine
of fame, while this man with mere
wealth is in the shadows of obscurity
In these days the man who can do
nothing but make money, though he
makes it in the hundreds of millions, Is
q nobody.

1t has once more been demonstrated
that men can build automobiles which
can be driven at q rate Of little more
than two miles in q minute. But what
the ingenuity of man has not been able
to discover Is the practical use Of any
such achievement. The world Is not
aware of any need for such machines
or for the maniacal spirit in man which
drives them at such speed. Driving an
automobile at that rate calls for kind
Of courage which from some viewpoints
Is admirable. But Is there such large
surplus of courage in the world that it
needs to be wasted In senseless dar-
Ing? In the making of such machines
there Is no new development in me-
chanical principles. Nothing Is con-
tributed to science or the useful arts.
The good of racing machine Is in
separable from the danger and disas-
ter that attend It. Wonder Is excited
not by the machines, but by the driving
Of them. In comparison with that the
engineer Of a locomotive at top speed
has nothing to do and his work is mere
ly gentle amusement, ridiculously safe.
What pity that when the world is
hungering for heroism in q million USE
full and noble occupations, men should
lightly carry their lives into such USE
less danger.

At the recent meeting of the interna-
tional navigation congress at Milan
some interesting data were furnished
respecting the influence which the de-
struction Of forests exerts on the dis
charge Of rivers. A summary Of seven
important papers read at the congress
shows that 1t was allowed by all the
authors Of these papers that the re-
moval Of forests, especially in hilly
countries, has a marked effect on the
water supply of the neighborng rivers
Where deforestation has taken place
brooks have disappeared and small riv-
ers once furnishing power for mills
have ceased to be sufficient for this
purpose.

OF one thing we may be sure, which
Is that the world has not the same
China to deal with that it had six
years ago. China, wonderful to relate,
has changed and is changing now with
rapidity. 1t is much to be doubted
that another military expedition to
Pekin similar to that or 1900 could now
be safely undertaken. And, certainly,
were the new army to be used against
an international force such an under
taking as the Pekin expedition of 1900
would be madness. An invading force
enormously larger than the allied con-
tlngents Of that year would now be
necessary. The belief Is based on trust
worthy reports concerning the size and
character Of the reorganized Chinese
army, whose maneuvers late In the
autumn were critically watched by ex-
pert foreign observers.

Mr.. Henderson was born March IA,
1910, in the bleak village Of Old Deer,
which is attached to the estate of the
Earl Of Buchan in Aberdeenshlre, Scot
land. He was scarcely five years old
when his father, Thomas Henderson,
left Old Deer for America, bringing the
family with him. After many tribula-
tions the family landed in Chicago
with something like So of ready cash
remaining from the fu-id obtained by
selling their household effects In Scot
land. They managed to get a small
farm in Illinois, and there they re-
mained three years. Later the Hender-
sons moved to Iowa, and with money
saved by David's thrifty mother pur-
chased a tract Of prairie land in Fay
ette County, which later was known as
Henderson's Prairie. 1t was in Iowa
the future Speaker received his school
Ing. He worked on the farm In sum-
mer and attended school in winter. In
1860 he was sent to small Methodist
college at Fayette, known as the Upper
Iowa University.
In his second year at the school the
war broke out, and on the morning Of
September 10, 1861, when Henderson
was p, he arose during the morning
assembly Of the students for prayer
and asked that he be given q chance
to speak. After consultation of the
faculty his wish was granted, and he
then made a speech which was talked
of for years in Iowa owing to its pas
sion and patriotism. AS a result twen-
ty-two of the students promptly enlist
ed with him. He formed and was made
lieutenant Of Company c, Of the Twen-
tieth Iowa Infantry. He was shot in
the face at Fort Donelson, and was In
hospital till shortly before the battle
Of Shiloh, where he rejoined his regi-
ment. In the battle of Corinth he lost
foot, but after being discharged from
the hospital he was made colonel of the
Forty sixth Iowa Volunteers, and
served throughout the remainder of the
war in that capacity. When peace had
been restored Col, Henderson studied
law, and from 1868 till 1882, when he
was elected to Congress, and his part
ner, Judge Shiras was appointed to
the United States Supreme Court, he
was member Of the firm of ShIras
Van Duzee & Henderson.
In 1867 Col. Henderson married Miss
Augusta Fox, Of West Union, Iowa, and
made his home at Dubuque, where his
three children were born. They are:
Mrs. Angle Peaslee, of East DUBUQUE.
ILL.,; Belle Henderson, who lives with
her parents, and son, Don Henderson.
who Is in the lumber business in St
Paul.
Col. Henderson was great story.
teller, and fluent and witty speaker.
AS an example Of his vitality. manv
stories are told Of the final operation
on his leg. Three previous operations
had not been successful and in 1899 he
arranged for a fourth On this occa-
sion he not only refused to take an
anaesthetic, but sat on the operating
table of the hospital giving directions
and freely criticlslng the work of the
surgeons.

In the Sahara Desert, says a recent
writer, there Is a continuous process of
reduction going on. The sand blast
wears away rocks and the heat splits
them. At Nefsauoa stood line of
pinnacles Only one remains of the
original height. The others are worn
away. That which remains Is protect
ed by topknot of shrubs and earth,
nourished by spring which flows from
Its summit. 1t Is not the hardness
of the rock, but this patch of soil and
vegetation, frall and soft as it seems,
which has preserved tho pinnacle. The
picture suggests many analogies in hu-
man life.

ECONOMY AND SELF DENIAL.
By Rev. George Lobing,


Text: Gather up the fragments
that remain, that nothing be lost
John vi: II.
God wastes no power nor does he
ever lavish any element Of force in all
his vast dominions.
He has never performed a miracle
where second causes" or the laws Of
nature would consummate his purpose.
In short, it is economy on our part, Of
means and strength and time, that will
receive Gods recognition, smiles and
blessing.
Here in measure you are secure
and moving along the safer highway.
The American people are said to be
the most wasteful ON the face of the
globe. If true, it Is to be deplored. 1t
does not now, and never will meet our
heavenly Fathers approval. In his
sight it is more than foolish; 1t Is dis
pleasing and sinful.
You will note that the Scotch and
French and Swedes are taught econo-
my and thrift from the early years of
youth to the period of womanhood and
manhood. These nations never send
additions across the ocean to our Grmy
of "tramps."
Ben Franklin, through "Poor Rich
ard" taught lesson of immense value
to those who heed it, when he said 4:
What will maintain one vice will bring
up two children"
Warwick gave the world an impress
sive lesson when he said: "Teach
self-denial, make its practice pleasure
able and you create for the world des-
tiny more sublime than ever issued
from the brain Of the widest dream
er."
Self-denial and self-abasement CON-
stitute two Of the brightest crown iew-
els of heaven. Without these two basic
principles thoroughly interviewer into
the Masters great character he coultl
never have worn the dladem Of eternal
sovereignty. Self-indulgence and self.
ish pride lead the soul away from God
through the wide gate and of the broad
way, down into the realm of crowned
humanity,

Tom Reeds Successor as Speaker,
Who Died Recently.
The death of Col. David Bremner
Henderson, Of Iowa, following a pare
tic and paralytlc condition Of over a
years duration, did not come unex-
pectedly. For months his mind had been
in a cloud, but a few days before death
1t became so clear that he could recog-
nize friends and converse intelligently
with his family.
Mr.. Henderson was member Of the
national House of Representatives
twenty years, and for two terms served
as Speaker. Good Old Dave" as he
was familiarly known, was in demand
as an after-dinner speaker, where his
ready wit and biting humor brought
forth gales of laughter. But from
Good Old Dave" as lie was before his
first term as Speaker, he went through
a transition, till at the close of his sec
ond term as executive of the House he
was styled Gear" just as was his
predecessor, Thomas B. Reed. So strong
was the feeling against him in 1903
when the Fifty seventh Congress ad-
journed that Mr.. Henderson chose to
retire from Congress rather than face
what he surmised would be defeat if
he were again candidate for the
speakership. Since his retirement he
had lived quietly in Dubuque, which
had been his home for many years.

There are other "entangling al
liances" than those against which Gen
eral Washington, in his farewell ad-
dress, warned his country. Next In i'm
portance to the avoidance by the gov
ernment of the United States of al
liances with foreign powers is the
avoidance by public officials of such
connection with business interests as
might embarrass them in the perform
ance Of their official duties. While it
may not be practicable for all persons
holding important places in the gov
ernment, in either the legislative, exec
utive or judicial departments, to be en-
drely free from connection with cor
porations, such as railroads, express
companies, national banks and manu-
featuring combines, 1t would be advis-
able for obvious reasons for such Off
clals to reduce such connections to the
smallest practicable limits, not only
that personal interests may not swerve
them from the straight path of public
duty but that they may not be liable to
suspicion Of such infdelity.
