How to Enjoy the Circus.

How to Enjoy the Circus.
There amt much pleasure in this life
fer men as old as me-that Is, a Teller
thinks they amt when he is sixty
three. O. course, he likes to smoke his
pipe an set around an gas an argue
with the boys to git his leisure time to
pass. A man who's gettin' long in
years-too weak to hoe or plow, fer
pleasure Of the good old kind-has
small chance anyhow. But there's one
thing I like to do-one thing I sure en-
6oy-it's goin' to a circus with some
poor, big eyed small boy. I always
like to have it be the first show he's
been to. l like to watch those big
eyes snap. Oh, snap they always do.
I like to see him smile an clap an
crane his neck around an see him eat
in peanuts, throwin' shells down on
the ground. 1t don't seem very long
ago that I wus eight or nine, nor long
since the first show I saw seemed SIM
ply grand-divine. I member bow l
set up there jest in a fit of joy. You
see, l know the feelin' that comes to
the big eyed boy. l don't care much
for circuses like once l used to care.
But, friend, l get my pleasure takin'
little fellers there. An while l set en-
joyin' i'll NEAR that kids real joy-I
almost cry to think that I can't be
once more a boy.-Denver Post.

The True Law of Self Control

by Dr. ". l: THRKlElD. President Of Howard University
~1HE crown of creation is a man. Perfected manhood was not
given of the Creator. Adam was perfect AS A CHILD.
~ Manhood was to be worked out by his own free agency. 50
now manhood is a thing TO BE ACHIEVED. God gives
the pattern, the inspiration and the power of achievement. Each man
FOR HIMSELF must work out the result.
At the basis must be the realization of his own personaity-that
is, the souls grasp of himself, the conviction that he stands tor a new
divine force in this universe that NO OTHER CREATED BEING
can express It is the thought: 81 am not mere mind or body l am not
mere flesh and bones and blood and nerve and will. l am a personal
some one, a center of independent thought and action, who has a body
and who uses life and thought and energy at his will" When a man
acc gets this grasp of himself he has a center from which to grow, and
this this radiation from the finite TO THE INFINITE, begins
his ascent.
This is the basis of SELF CONTROL The true law of self con-
troll is not suppression, but expression; not overcoming, but directing;
not throuling and killing those powers and passions, desires and imagi
nations that fame through our being, BUT GOVERNING THEN
in the interests of the higher man.
THE MAN OF PASSION Is THE MAN OF POWER, BUT PASSION
UNDER THE CONTROL OF CONSCIENCE AND REASON.

Man and His Pockets.

A tailor who had received an order
for a suit of clothes was asked by the
customers wife for an interview.
II want to ask you as a special ia
vor," she said, mot to put any pockets
in my husbands clothes"
"Why not?" asked the astonished
tailor.
because they are responsible for
his looking 81 shabby SO much Of the
time" she explained. "He wears his
clothes for weeks without pressing be-
cause he says it Is too much trouble to
change the things in his pockets to an
other suit. He says that half the men
who go around in seedy clothes do SO
for the same reason. If that Is so, just
leave out the pockets, and they will
have no excuse for sh~abbiness."
"That is a new point of view," said
the tailor. Il will see about it."
But when the suit came home it had
the usual number Of pockets. -- New

For Valuation Of Railroads.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-President
may accomplish by execu-
tive order what the powers of con.
gress are unwilling to let him do by
legislative direction in the matter of
having q valuation made of the ply
steal property of the railroads. This
interesting fact came out because of
the recent insistence of Senator La.
Toilette upon consideration of his bill
directing the interstate commission to
make such q valuation. The Wiscon-
sin mar has not been able to get his
bill reported out of the senate COM
mittee.
The commission, in a letter by
Chairman Knapp, reported that it has
long been in favor of this legislation,
and had repeatedly recommended it.,
but omitted it this year simply be.
cause there were so many things to be
done under the new rate law that it
was thought unwise to petition for new
responsibilities at this time. 1t is
known that the president has for some
time been convinced that this valua-
ton is absolutely necessary as q basis
for making rates, and also as q start.
ing point from which to initiate any
policy looking to the curbing of stock
watering. The fact that he has gone
so far IS to instruct the commission
to make plans for such q work is re.
garded as Of the greatest significance.
The making of such 3 valuation
would require all the way from ayear
to two or three years, depending on
the number Of people employed in it.
II two or three years were given to the
task it is thought the cost would be
about II, 25O, 900. If it we're to be done
in q shorter time the cost would natu.
rally be higher, because the work Of
organization and management would
be expensive, and the experts who
would have to be engaged for short
periods would demand higher pay
than ii hired for longer service.

The South and the Negro

BY Governor c. Hayward Of SouthC Carolina
40 solve the race question will require not only time but pa
tence and judgment on the part of the white man, and upon
the part of the'negro it will call for the exercise of MORE
COMMON SENSE and a far greater appreciation of his
MORAL responsibility.
In the course of time the negro, who is now rapidly increasing in
certain cities of the north, may by his failure to meet the expectations
of the people of the north and his own consequent responsibility be-
come such a hindrancc AND MENACE that III northern friends
will be ready to do something more than simply give advice to the
south.
That racial conditions in the south are far from satisfactory l will
admit, but I do not believe that the southern people + standing on a
volcano and that we are no. far removed from a RACE WAR. Any
solution of our race problem in the south lies rs much with the negro
as with the white man, but one of the greatest barriers to any advance
ment of the negro is his NATURAL INCIDENCE.
THIS EXPLAINS HIS FAILURE TO USE HIS OPPORTUNITY, AND
IN THIS HE ALONE Is RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISASTROUS RE.

DISCUSS FOREST RESERVES,
Senator Clark Suggests That Lands
Be Coded To States.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-When the
agricultural appropriation bill was
taken up 10 the sen ate today, the Full.
ton amendment, providing that no
forest reserves shall be hereafter Gre
ated or enlarged without an act of
congress in the states of Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, Montana, Colo
RADIO and Wyoming, was adopted
without debate. The amendment add.
ing 81, 0O0, 900 to the appropriation for
improvements in forest reserves also
was adopted without debate.
Senator w. A. Clark, of Montana,
in discussing the forest reserve ques.
ton in the senate, commended that the
keynote of the solution Of forestry and
public lands problems would be the
cession of such lands to the states in
which the lands are located. In the
discussions in the senate, Senator
Clark said, it is readily seer that the
interests of various states differ with
differing conditions in these states,
and a perfect solution will never be
reached until the states are permitted
to control the public lands within
their borders and administer them &C.
cording to the needs of their people.
Senator Clark said the people of the
west were not opposed to forest re.
serves, but they do oppose the extern.
sion of the system now in vogue. All
of the people who have lived in the
western country since the early days
realize that as the settlement of the
country extended and tie wants of the
people and development and opening
of the mines progressed, immense am.
cunts of timber had to be cut and
used, sometimes from the watersheds
where snow falls deep in winter and
where protection of forests was essen.
tial to the preserv alton of the water
supply.
1--WE regret that this was done in
some instances, and w of the west
were the first to take legislative steps
to prevent the cutting of forests es.
sential to water conservation" said
the senator. "The forestry depart
ment should be restricted to its proper
duty of protecting the forests from
fire, supervising the cutting Of trees
of certain sizes and reforesting land
where timber had been taken"
Senator Clark paid a tribute to the
energy and enthusiasm of Forester
Pinchot, but deprecated his policy OF
building up through control of grazing
on reserves and on public lands q sys.
TEN of landlordism and tenantry. He
opposed earnestly the proposed plan OF
placing the grazing lands of the west in
control of a government department.
Such a system would prevent the settle
ment of the west by homesteaders aud
make of it vast cattle pastures. In
Montana, he said, the day of the cat
tie farm is receding into the past,
and conditions now have come to the
point where we shall get what we want,
the small farmer. The people are set
Ting up the country and should have
the free use of the range adjacent to
their homesteads. Let the permit OF
leasing system prevail, and you viii.
get homesteaders to come into thu
country.

- HE very recognition of manhood in every man makes the
MULTITUDE the rulers, and the multitude tends toe
readily to momentary exctements. The wild anarchist,
the would be assassin, are the public enemies Of society
whom to tolerate is to tolerate OPEN SEDITION. An
enemy, too, of public order is the workman who, refusing his own
labor, deters by violence a brother workman from offering his labor,
as is even in a greater degree the strong and the powerful who over
ride the law of the land in carrying out schemes OF THEIR ambition.
Private property, the right of every man to own and dispose Of the
fruits Of brain and of hand, must be regarded as SACRED AND
INVIOLABLE. It is the cornerstone Of the social structure. De-
stroy it, weaken it, and you ESTABLISH BARBAR1sM. Nor is
private ownership to be merely for the individual himself. It is for
those who parts of himself, his children and those others whom
BY HIS OWN FREE WILL he chooses to make bene6ciaries of
the rewards of his labor of mind or of limb.
That in the holding of private property there be inequality is a
fact that is inevitable. MEN ARE NOT AND NEVER WILL

THE oRAvEsT RESPONSIBILITY LIES ON ALL JUST At THIS
TIME TO MOVE SLOWLY, TO THINK WISELY, TO AVOID ALL
PERILs OR LEAPS INTO THE DARK.
A chief panacea before us is common ownership through city, state
or nation of the chief agencies of productivity and of the transporta-
ton of the results of productivity. Let all be on their guard. Com
mon ownership in one direction leads to COMMON OWNERSHIP
IN ANOTHER, all the more Sc when the purpose really held in
mind by the many is to grasp wealth without much personal effort to
make up for ones own DEFICIENCIES.
True, we have large personal fortunes and large corporate accumu-
latons of wealth. But TT these things evil IN THEMSELVES
Are they not only necessary results of personal freedom and per-
sonal energy, but also benefccnt causes of universal prosperity in
which all, POOR N RICH, have part?
That large accumulations of wealth be not permitted to ply their
forces to violate the laws of justice, to Cypress and ruin the weak, to
absorb into their own being the liberty and the life, is an UNDENlA"
BILE PROPOSITION on which no controversy is permissible. But
to strive to shattcr and ruin them is to aim at a NATIONAL MEDl-

counsel OF the railroad, stated that
his road would not have objected to a
2! cent rate.
1--WE are prepared to compromise
with the legislature" said Mr.. Begg,
"but The hasty action of the house in
passing the 2-ceot fare prevented any

Mr. Begg stated that if the Great

Butler for long time-say two or three
hours-returned without presenting the
note to Mr.. Lincoln. This was in conse-
quence Of an assurance from Mr. Butler
that Mr.. Lincoln could not receive any
communication from Mr.. Shields unless it
were withdrawal Of his first note or
challenge. Mr.. Butler further stated to
General Whiteside that on the withdrawal
OF the first note and a proper and gentle
manly request for an explanation he had
no doubt one would be given. General
Whiteside admitted that that was the
course Mr. Shields ought to pursue, bur
deplored that his furious and intractable
temper prevented his having any influ-
ence with him to that end. General w.
then requested us to wait with him until
Monday morning that he might endeavor
to bring Mr.. Shields to reason. s 8s
On Monday morning he called and pre-
scented Mr. Lincoln the same note as. Mr..
Butler says, he had brought on Saturday
evening. It was as follows: # sls tS 1.

me, by promise, not to communicate our
secret contract to Mr.. Lincoln. Moreover,
] could see no consistency in wishing for
an extension Of time at that stage Of
the affair when in the outset they were In
so precipitate hurry that they could
not wait three days for Mr.. Ldncoln's re-
turn from fremont, but must hasten
there, apparently with the intention Of
bringing the matter to a speedy issue.
He complains, too. that, after inviting.
him to take a seat In my buggy, 4 never
preached the subject to him on our route

case, with a challenge hanging over me-
to make advances and beg q reconcilia-l

probable that Mary composed them
fresh from these stolen conferences,
that some Of Mr.. Lincoln's original
conceptions and peculiarities of style
unwittingly crept into them and that
here and there he altered and amended
the manuscript before it went to the
printer. Such connection with
lady's productions made it obligatory
upon him to defend them. But why
avow one and disavow the rest? It Is
more than likely that he was deter
mined to take just enough responsible
