CAN'T DRAW A GOOD LESSON
FROM THIS OLD CHAP.

The special newspaper correspond
.ents out In Kansas have been busy
writing up" one Mr. Puddy Dugg of
Lcavenworth county, who cele.
hratcd his one hmdrcdth birthday by
running foot race In which he beat
a number of his great grandchildren.
and Immediately after he had SEQ cd
his victory hogan to demonstrate his
wonderful agility and endurance By
jumping up in tho air aud cracking
his heels together three times
before coming to the ground
This latter fcnt, be It remembered in
rural communities is always proof alb
sohtc Of unusual spryness. We kept
right on reading the story expecting
to find the conclusion which usually
ends these sort of storics--that Puddy
had ncvcg drank or used tobacco in
his life. We hoped to hold Puddy up
before the youth of the land ms n
noble example. but this We cannot do
We are denied the pleasure of pro
claiming as fact that never In his
long life had the agile aud surprising
puddy Dugg touched whiskey or to.

never fails to acquire an mordmnte

nifty to connect With bottle or jug
of juice containing exhilirating spirits,
and after he had won his foot race
and cracked his heels In the air three
times he celeb.ate his triumph by
getting SO thoroughly Jagged that

rifle effect of the potations had fl.
naliy enveloped him In the chains OF
slumber.
.Nlt'is also cansc for icf to learn
that Puldy Dugg ohews tobacco with
the same relish and facility which
the Harlem billy.goat manifests In the
justification of tin can o. the.
atrlcal poster, and that he has Il flow
of profanity which is warm onongRrto
burn the woods in dry weather. In
deed Puddy Dugg's reputation among
his neighboHs is that OF n wicked old
chap who is not afraid of the devil or
anything else. ana the wonder of the
community in which Ne dwells is how
he became possessed OF the art to
stay above ound in defiance OF ali
the known laws OF nature when so.
many infinitely better people have had
violets on their breasts but who did
not know that they were there
No. we cannot find wholesome
lesson in the life of Paddy Dugg for
the young. His life makes us arrive
at the conclusion that either longevity
is on the increase or that truth telling
out in Kansas is on the wane.

That the love Of money Is the root
of all evil is an ilnmcmorial saying.
Probably the little boys in the time
of old Ilammnrabi used to transc.iDe
II as n writing exercise In the copy
books, and the learned Archaeological
OF those days used to tell them how
he had dug up evidence that the
little boys of five thousand years be-
fore had also been set at the double
task OF learning photography and i'm
proving their meals with the same
oditymg sentiment. The classical
philosophers taught It. and the Christ
ian religion has done its best for two
thousand years to inculcate in the
human mind the faith that there are
other things better striving for than
money. The only fault that can he
found with ST. Franks suggestion
that the evil be corrected by educa-
tlon is that 1t calls for complete re.
form of human nature. The sugges-
ton II II could be carried out

Another important consideration Is
whether there would be any exhibits
displayed and again ii Is reasonable
70 believe that there would not.
Judging from the manner in, which
most. OF the exhibitors at the Exposl.
ton feel, they viii be glad when the
Exposition Is at an end, aud il is not
likely that they would listen to n
proposition to leave their things there
fnll winter or to send them hack In

All things considered II would seem
as if II would be best for all con.
cerned ii no effort was made to have
the Exposition throw open its gates
again next spring. Its fail;rc finan.
cially has leen Haunted sufficiently

failure more pronounced! 1t Is to be
feared that If the Exposition was re-
opened that il would degenerate Into
catch-nenny affair; it would lose
the high standa d that has been main
tanned all summer despite the hun
dred and one obstacles that had to
be overcome. The beauties and glories
would be erased from memory by the
atmosphere of cheap day resort
which would undoubtedly prevail.
While the fair has not been n sue.
cess financially it seems to us that
it would not be wise to do anything
which would lessen the artistic sue
cess which it has achieved. Let well
enough alone and close the gates foy
ever as far as an Exposition is con
cerned, when the act of Congress gov.
erning the show calls for them TO be

he seldom races horses these days.
Aside from Stanton's hold on Miller,

the boy. No one but Miller himself
and possibly Welsh knows Just how
much the lads personal earnings
amount to this year. First and sec
