FROM MoRoAN's OFFICE.

William R. Garrison, well known
among New York's financially and
socially elect, had a caller not long
since who was announced by his
man as "from j. p. Morgan's Of
fee"
81 told my man to usher him in,
and soon a tall stranger entered. l
proffered a chair and drew forth my
best box of perfectos," said Mr.. Gar
rison, in telling of the incident.
''The stranger lighted a cigar, set
tied himself easily in his chair, and
pulled two long pufs, while l said,
with all the Difference at my COM
mand: Now, what is it that l can
do for Mr.. Morgan?'
Gle pulled again, and then,
reaching into a long pocket of his
coat, replied: q have just come
from Mr.. Morgan's Office, where |
endeavored to interest him in the
purchase of this unparalleled little
work 1 interrupted him, but it
was of no use. He showed his pros
pectus, and l voted him then and
there the sharpest book agent that
| had ever seen, and many there are,

did you buy?" was aked of Gar
rison.
"Of course" he replied. "Could

THE FIRST ELEVATOR.

Probably not one person out OF
500 entering the south car in the
elevator shaft of the Fifth Avenue
hotel ever stops to read the little
framed notice which hangs in one
corner, says the New York Sun. But
to the observing few this little no
tice tells a story. 'In this very
space, 48 years ago, was placed the
first passenger elevator ever built in
the world" In 1859, when first
installed, it was one Of the curiosi-
ties Of the city, and visitors from
far and near came to witness its op-

officials of Western Kentucky have
given out the same official notice,
and urge us to advise our stock-hold-

coal this summer.
Last winters experience and high
prices, together with the above time

warning, and we trust our people
will take advantage of it and act at
at once.
We are ready to supply you with
coal in car load lots over either R. R.

GENTLEMEN:
Replying to your favor of the l4th
instant, l unhesitatingly advise all
consumers of coal to lay in a supply
during the summer months and
thereby avoid the inconvenience
which must result on account of a
shortage Of cars next winter which
in my opinion will be much more
acute than was the shortage of last
winter, unless the consumers lay in
their Coal supply as suggested.
You are at liberty to publish this
in the interest Of the producers and
consumers Of Coal.

self whether the bard of Camden de-
liberately or unconsciously took his
own wherever he found 1t. Though
Whitman founded his famous style on
the Hebrew scriptures, 1t is not to the
Hebrews, she thinks, nor yet to the
Hindus that we must look for his clos
est affinities, but to the Persians. She
says:
Though certain mental and emo
tional tendencies that we find domi-
nent in Whitman (and perhaps in no
other Western writer) are common to
all the Oriental nations, yet the most
striking resemblance to whitman in
the expression of these tendencies we
find in the Persian poets. And when
l say Persian poets ] do not mean
Omar Khayyam. There is no affinity,
so far as 1 can see, between Whitman
and Omar. The old tentmaker was an
agnostic in the most modern sense OF
the term: Whitman was a devotee, a
democratic dervish; he was a nine
teenth century brother of Miami and
Attar."-Current Literature.

POPULAR VOTE ON SENATOR.

The amicable settlement of the pri-
mary contest in Mississippi for popu-
lar choice of a United States senator
even though the vote was uncomfort
ably close in another reminder that Sc
lecting senators by popular vote is
rapidly becoming fixed practice de-
spite of the fact that it needs an
amendment to the constitution to
legalize the method.
Alabama is another recent instance
of the growth of the idea. Within a
short time both of its able and respect
ed members of the United States sem
ate have died. Both were over 80 when
reelected and 1t was thought prudent
at the last state primary to name sue
cessors in case of their death. Ac-
cordingly their. places will be taken by
ex-Congressman Bankhead and ex-
Governor johnson, who received the
majorities in the primary and who this
week were named by the legislature
which was quick to carry out the sx-
pressed wish of the people.
In about fourth of the states OF
the Union the people are now naming
the senator's and in no case has the
legislature failed to be governed by
their action.

occasion when the poet laureate, was

poet Tennyson, he replied:
"Lor', 10 think o that! And. sure. I

!. THIS IS MY 18TH BIRTHDAY.
> Sir Frederick Haines.

Sir Frederick Haines, Great Brit
aims senior and oldest field marshal,
was born Aug. 10, 1919. In 1889, when
20 years of age, he entered the British
army as an ensign in the Fourth
Kings Own. He saw his first active
service with Sir Hugh Cough In the
Sutlej campaign of 1s45. Under
Cough he displayed gallantry in serv-
ice, which earned him several promo
tions. In the Crimean war he was pres
ent at Alma, Balaclava, Inkerman and
Sebastopol. For year-1s79-18s0-
he acted as commander-in-ch chief in At
ghanistan, where his services won the
thanks of both houses of parliament.
He was So years old when he was hon
ored with knighthood and 76 when he
got his baton. He has now completed
6S years of active service in the army
without break. He is in good health
for a man of his great age and is a
familiar figure in London society and
club circles.

HOGS AND HUMANITY.

DIR. w. A. Evans, Chicago's commits
sioner of health. would rather be hog
than q man-not a human hog, but
real, live porker, with nothing to do
but eat until fat enough for the pack
ing house and the table.
DR.. Evans finds that man is q minor
being when compared with the hog.
The latter is the real thing. 1.-THE
government" he says, spends more in
one year for the bacterioiogy of hogs
than it spends for the bacteriology Of
man in 25 years. This is because the
farms of the country are always de-
manding that something be done for
hogs and CATTLE
AS result OF these demands. DR..
Evans points to the large corps Of
scientists employed to instruct the PEG
pie how to prevent and cure diseases
among their livestock. While this IL
being done the government is paying
little attention to the welfare Of hui
mainly.
The complaint of Dr. Evans. while
open, perhaps, to the charge Of exag-
geration, has a substantial foundation.
The government does something, 1t Is
true, to prevent the spread of tubercu-
Iosis and other deadly Diseases. but
the amount is small in comparison with
the expenditures for hog and cattle
cures.
Perhaps the people themselves are to
blame because they demand more ex-
pert work in behalf of their blooded
swine than for themselves, and doubt
less national effort toward the elimi-
nation of tuberculosis in human beings
and other diseases will be limited until
q general demand is made for more
work along this line The average man
will not join in DR.. Evans wish. but
he will stand up for the doctor in his
declaration that there ought to be as
much public concern for the health
and welfare of humanity as there is for
the great, grunting occupants of the
nations pig pens.

Every year 1t becomes more and
more apparent that what Mr.. Bryan
does not know about politics would
make a big book
His political sails are trimmed four
square to every wind that blows. His
action in reference to government
ownership of railroad is in point to
prove his vacillation and lack of pre-
ception as to sensing the trend of pub
lie opinion.
It shows that he is neither strong
enough to be moulder of public opin-
ion or brave enough to run counter to
It when occasion demands.

alone with the blue above and the Tar
circling of an eagle about thescrags.
Then a. rope with carefully adj
justed slip moose dangled besidG her.
"Can you put 1t over your head and

"For my sake, Penelope, be careful!
And look ND at me all the time. Don't
look down into the canyon"
Too bruised and shaken to be sur
prised, Penelope took the moose with
trembling fingers and tried to olsen
tangle herself from the brush which
had broken her fall. Slowly, inch by
inch, with pain at every motion, she
raised herself to a sitting position,
then little by little adjusted the moose
under her arms to the guides satisfac-
ton.
"Now," he called, "I'm going to low
er your staff to you, and you must keep
yourself from brushing the wall by
means of 1t as pull you up"
The fear and misery of that trip
back to the plateau Penelope was new
err to forget The rope cut into her
chest until she would have tainted
with the pain had not the difficulty of
warding herself from the wall with
her alpenstock forced her to keep'he
senses alert. Now, with quick Jerk,
she was pulled upward for few feet;

dampness of stone within an inohs OF

AS she paused within foot or SO of
the plateau level she closed her eyes
and dropped her staff. Then pair Of
arms lifted her slowly, ten 'er!y. and
laid her on the ground, then carefully
removed the rope.
Penelope opened her eyes. "Dick!'
she said hesitatin8ly. "DicI"'
"Are you hurt?" asked the guide un
heedingly. what shall do? Shall

said Penelope weakly. II am only
terribly bruised and shaken. How l
am to get down the mountain again

"Oh. we can arrange that easily"

half delirious eyes. "Dick? Why
Dick was my husband, and after we

The guide threw aside the cup. "Dc

 Thinking such devotion worthy of special reward she passed up the aisle to give him an encouraging pat upon the head and the regulation smile of approval AS she drew near she mo- ticed that his lips were moving, and that with the completion of each letter he compared 1t with his copy and nut tered audibly, "damit," "damit;" then screwed up his courage and his lips for new attempt. The teacher passed OF without distracting his mind from his work-Journal of Education.
