Ex-President Cleveland Approves Pro-
posed Reunion At jamestown.

Washington. April 24.-The Thomas
Jefferson Memorial Association Of the
United States has made public 4 letter
from Former President Grover Cleve-
land "unreservedly approving the
plan for the reunion of the descendants
Of the signers of the Declaration Of IN
Gependence at the jamestown exposi-
ton July 4. Mr. Cleveland says:
1T seems to me that reunion of the
descendants of the signers of the Dec
laration of Independence on or about
the date when this immortal document
was signed would be Il most impressive
incident in connection with the James
town exposition. Such Il reunion should
certainly have a tendency to stimulate

those who are within its influences

Of the fathers of the republic to cstah-
lsh Il new nation and impress upon IL
the best ideals of a free government.

secured enough as he thought to make
his brother very sick and placed it in

Then he left the house and skipped
across the fields and pasture back to

New treatment Of typhoid.

People who used to suffer torments
Of thirst in typhoid fever will wish
they had postponed the attack until the
present day, when such theories of
treatment as the following from the
Medical Brief prevail:
IF I were asked to name the cardi-
nal features In the management Of ty-
phoid fever, would say proper feeding,
the prevention of excessive waste Incl
dent to high temperature, by the use
of water externally and Internally, and
elimination. through the skin, kidneys
and intestinal tract. by supplying the
PATENT with an abundance of water
and keeping the body clean and COM
Portable.
II make 1t an invariable rule to in
sist that the patient drink frequently
and freely of water, thereby aiding
elimination through the Intervention Of
the skin and kidneys, keeping the gen.
eral tone of the patient at the highest
standard, and the temperature Is held
more readily In check. In fact, l re-
gard the internal use of an abundance
of water of so much Importance that
always instruct the nurse to record the
quantity of water given, just as assidu-
ously as she does the medicine and
food"

Do you remember the story Of the
sot who was picked up in the street,
taken to the dukes house, put into the
dukes bed, and found himself, when
he awoke, surrounded by a bowling and
obsequious throng? He stared at them.
He could not understand. There were
silken clothes lying on the chair. His
morning meal was being handed him on
a gold tray. Hesfell back In bed, and
exclaimed, "Oh am dreaming This
is not me! 1t cannot possibly be me !
1t must be somebody else" Why did
he think this2 1t was not altogether
because he knew he was not a duke.
The real reason for his establishment
lay deeper than that. He thought so
little Of himself that he knew nobody
else could think very much Of him. At
heart, the poor sot had no self-respect.
People never think any more of you
than you think of yourself. This does
not mean that you are to pretend, or
thinking only Of what superior per-
son you are. But 1t does mean that
people will never take off their hats to
you unless you hold up your head.
Don't apologize for what you are. One
Of the saddest spectacles In the world
Is that of man who Is too humble to
demand respect, or too apologize to
command attention, or too much of a
moral weakling to assert his rights
The world will never search you out,
and drag you into the limelight, and
say, Here he is! We have been want
ing to find him, SO that we could show
him respect, and reward him, and give
him all the Difference and honor he de-
servesw No; the world will let you
stay in your obscure corner, and will
give Its honor and rewards to the man
with half your ability and twice your
self-respect. Say, ~ know what am.
know what can do. know how
good my work is. know, too, that /
am struggling daily to make myself a
more complete man, to increase my field
of effort, and to do better work.
viii not be pulled up with false pride,
but I will not be obscured by mock
modesty. am not the best man In
the world, nor yet the most able man,
or the most skilled workman; but I am
what am, and no one shall dare to
take from me one smallest portion of
my self-respect, or fail to give me the
fullest measure Of the recognition that
Is mine"

By vote Of Its board of directors. an
important English corporation has late
ly made fine moral distinction which
shows in most pleasing fashion the up-
ward tendency in business life and
sets an example to other corporations
The action Of the board had to do with
the disclosing Of board room secrets
and with the use Of what is commonly
called inside information" for the
financial benefit of directors. It was
voted, after some discussion, 'that no
member of the board shall buy or sell
any stock or shares Of the company
without previously announcing his In
tention to the directors, or shall have
any indirect holding of the stock or
shares without disclosing the. fact to
the board" 1t was also declared that
no director having special knowledge
Of the company's trading results should
buy or sell shares until such knowledge

When a young woman's heart Is
broken by tickle sutton she is consid-
cred justified In claiming damages in a
good round sum for the breakage. With
superior masculine business instinct a
young man in New York has started a
precedent by handing In an itemlzed
bill Of the expenses OF courtship when
the fair one proved false. The male
heart may be tougher in Its breakage
than that of the more susceptible sex,
but the money plaster is quite as etfi-
cacious in the one case as in the other
and it does seem that 1t Is hardly fair
to leave the unlucky swain with an
empty purse as well as with denuded
heart.

formatis- which. Is theirs by virtue Of
their portion Ii not confined to Great
Britain 1t Is a wholesome sign that
the injustice of it is beginning to be
noticed There Is another side of the
matter In which the public Is directly
interested. In the meeting of the Eng
fish corporation referred to, there was
reference to the fact that a recent
considerable advance in the price Of
the stock had taken place with no APP
parent reason and without justification
by the present business or future out
look. The inference was that inside
information" had been allowed to get
out which was not information at all,
but misleading statements put forth for
the purpose of enabling some one to
make turn In the market. Private

as that taken by the British corpora

Ing by any person, whether a director
or not, who, by the maintenance Of a
corps of informing agents or a staff of
correspondents or through any other
outside channel, becomes possessed of
information which is likely to affect the
price of shares. That method Is honest
and above board, and entities a man
to the profits Of his energy and fore
sight.
