Aldrich's Creed.

The creed of such an artist as Aid
rich is simple and brief: To reveal
his W impressions and intuitions of
the beauty and significance of life
with as much of the living quality of
their revelation and even of the in
Simultaneous %vividness of the moment
of inspiration as he can transmit
through a relatively cumbersome
medium of expression; hence, to fix
h essential and eliminate super
fiuous detail; to complete the work
within as small a compass as possible,
so that it may be apprehended as a
whole and the impression be instan-
%taneous, vivid and direct; to make
the carefully planned symmetry of
form felt only in the simplicity, clear
s and harmony of the effect. That
he was enabled by temperament and
good fortune to follow and even prac-
tically attain this ideal, independent
of the support and influence of the
public, gives his poetic work a unique
value aside from any other qualities
which. it may possess or lack.-Al-

A Modern Children's Crusade.

The modern study of milk tends to
one end, the exclusion of bacteria by
cleanliness, not their destruction by
heat. 1t does, however, consider pas
teurization a fairly satisfactory sub
stitute where pure milk cannot be OBJ
tanned. Second, mortality statistics
tend to prove that exclusion is neces-
sary for the child and for the nation.
1t may be at the present moment we
are a little weary of reform. The
pendulum of warning may have gone
too far in some directions, but in n
direction it has not gone for enough.
The lives of the city children hang
in the balance to-day. If there is any
means by which we can bring rudy
cheeks and healthy bodies back to
children unjustly deprived of them,
if there is any way in which we can
lower u present fearful death rate,
who of the community can refuse to
lend interest, or give aid? The
trumpet call which summons should
rouse each deadened ear, quicken
each deadened soul. 1t is the call to
a new all-embracing, all-powerful
children's crusade.-Hollis Godfrey,
in the Atlantic.

so-called Intelligence in Animals.

Now the so-called intelligence of
the lower animals is largely like that
AT the rills that find their way to the
sea, or of the seeds of the plants that
find their way to their proper habitat.
Marsh plants find their way to the
marshes, hill plants find their way to
the hills. The spores of the black
knot seem to hunt out every plum
tree in the land. The rats and the
mice find their way to your new
house or new barn, because they r
constantly on the search for new
fields. The squirrels find the acorn
grove and the birds the cherry trees
for the same reason. Their necessi-
ties for food send them in all direc-
tions till they hit the right spots. I
cleared off a swamp in the woods and
put a ditch through it; in two or
three years the cat-tail flag was grow
ing in my ditch. These winged seeds
from distant swamps reversed the air
in all directions, and when the wind
dropped them OF the proper soil they
took root and throve; all others
vastly the greater number-came to
naught.-John Burroughs, in the At
lantic.

said the manager of the Victoria.
New York is S % busyit doesn't watch
the ebb and flow of travel as do the
hotel men. The lobby has been full
of Western and Southern merchants
for six weeks, and the talk has all
e on shipments and case lots
and percentages and discounts off
for ten or thirty day payments"
I've had commercial men and
buyers here in swarms for two and a
half months" said the manager OF
the Cadillac, "and a busy spending
bunch they are. They have all been
CHEEKY and happy, and 1 have yet to
see one who predicted anything but a

Too Busy For Pessimism.
eff the United States wants a
panic, or if Wall Street shuts up on
New York's money supply, send word
to South Carolina and we'll help the
East out" said w. G. Aarants, buyer
and manager for the Kerrisow Dry
Goods Co., of Charleston, S. G. 1.-THE
State in which l live is too busy max
ing money to pay any attention to,
or to have any sympathy with, talk
of panic or hard times.
Our merchants are getting rich,
manufactures are springing up, are
adding enormously to the wealth of
the farmer and the spinner and our
banks and trust companies are carry
ing millions of dollars on deposit.
Cotton at six cents is profitable;
at fourteen it is a boon incalculable,
for it means nearly 100000, 900 an
nually to the South. While we have
billions we can't see Wall Street. No
trust magnates, using that imperfect
financial thermometer, the Stock Elk
change, should be allowed to cause
the country a single SILVER"
a. V. Billet, of the William II.
Horstman Company: Texas alone is
an empire vast in dimensions and so
vastly wealthy that her people would
brand themselves ridiculous to think
of hard times. The farmers and the
cattlemen are rolling in wealth; the
oil industry has added millions and
the merchants are doing tremendous
volumes of trade"
I. F. Connole, of Baltimore, says:
with Iowa boasting a $350,000, 900
corn crop and Kansas almost reach
ing her, while the South is getting
fancy prices on 13,000,O 900 bales of
cotton, there is money in plenty. The
South and the West now think Wall
Street a wooden ghost with the sheet
pulled off"

South and West Scott
at the Idea of Hard Times

New York City.-Just at this time
while pessimists who tremble at the
mere mention of Wall Street are
looking for financial stringency, New
York hotels. are reaping a harvest
from an army of men whose predic-
lions reflect the financial conditions
better than can any rise or depres-
sion of securities. This legion repre-
sents the merchants of the entire con
.inent.
1t is a conservative estimate to say
that $500 900 has been spent in
New York City by this buying and
selling commercial army, in small ad-
vance orders, in living expenses and
n amusement, for the daily eXpedi-
lures of a majority of the visitors
have been very heavy.
You may use Wall Street here as
4 bugaboo with which to brighten
Fifth venue and to keep Newport
meek at times" said Ernest Jackson,
at the Cadillac, "but the American
people don't tremble at the mention
Of the name any more. The talk of
an approaching panic, while it seems
to make New York feel glum, is
scoffed at by those who appreciate
the real of the nation and
who feel that a panic cannot come
v en if the money kings try to create
one."
Mr.. Jackson has for years been
among the chief Southern travelling
men of Arnold, Constable Co., touch
ing on his travels the principal cities
and towns of fourteen Southern
States.
SCOTS at Talk of Panic.
eff there is a panic coming, as
those who see trouble where no trou-
BILE exists predict" said he, cit will
be due solely to that fear which
causes a child to look into the dark
hall for a bear. The men of Wall
Street do not any more hold the
money power in their hands. What
If they do get together and say there
is a stringency? That doesn't alter
the fact that Texas will grow 4,000,-
900 bales of cotton, worth at present
prices $3.50, 100000, and that the
.ntber cptton-growing States will add
'5,650,000 additional bales, worth
$450,000,00O

Uncovered Heads, Watched the

Streets, While Thousands, With
Uncovered Heads, Watched the
FaItering Lines and Old Banners.
Saratoga, N. Y.-The Grand Army
of the Republic held it's parade-its
gray haired veterans, the remnant of
the army, whose scores of thousands
passed in review at the national CAPT
tai when the war was over, braved a
driving storm to march once more
beneath their battle flags. AS un-
mindful of the storm as in the days
of "'61," when youth and vigor and
love of the flag knew no physical
bounds, these dwindling thousands
passed once more in review.
While scores dropped out when the
rain began to fall the ranks held their
line and braved the driving storm as
if again going to their places in the
front of battle. The rain poured
with steadily increasing force as they
marched, but through the drenching
torrents they kept IN. Few there
were who even held umbrellas. For
an hour and more the old soldiers
plodded on between lines of cheering
people as plucky as themselves, keep
ing step to the music.
Governor Charles E.. Hughes, his
military staff, the national officers of
the Grand Army and distinguished
visitors stood on the reviewing stand,
no0rlu chinldn1 from tho dr;uinr
storm.
When the last rank had passed in
review the rain ceased, the skies
cleared and the sun broke out. The
dripping but undaunted old soldiers
found their ways to lodging places,
satisfied that such a trifie as a driv-
ing rainstorm had no more arrested
their onward march than it had in the
days of
The parading distance was reduced
to one mile, the shortest ever fixed
for the national encampment. For
the first time the parade was limited
to members of the Grand Army in
stead Of being open to all survivors
of the war.
The village was ablaze with the
national %colors, covering the fronts
of buildings, festooned at every con-
venient point, strung in rows at short
intervals across the streets and COM
pletely covering the interior of the
great convention hall where the ses-
sions of the encampment were held.
One of the features OF the parade was
the presence of a big flag which COW
