SOME AMERICAN FAMILIES.

Family in the European sense means inherited prominence, talent or power; driven tandem, not abreast. It is not always true that in America there are only three generations between shirt sleeves and shirtsleeyes.' pr. o. w. Holmes thought 1t wise to chose eare- fully ones parents, and he enumerated the number of generations whose DOT traits should have been painted in oils" The Holmeses could bear either test. So the Massachusetts Salton- stalls and Endcotts, and so pre-emi- nently the Adamses, whose younger scions in the fifth and sixth genera tions still show the family intellect and earnestness
 The Sewalls of Maine, the Hazards and Browns and Goddards of Rhode Island, the Frelinghuysens of New Jersey, the Bayards and Salisburys of Delaware, have furnished conspicuous pubic men from colonial times down. The Harrisons of Virginia rank next to the Adamses In, the number of presi- dents in the family, and are still in politics" Descendants of Alexander Hamilton are famous in medicine and prominent in the army, The leading Knickerbocker families of New York have been socially and financially con spicuous for two centuries. One of these families has in President Roose- welt vigorous present-day scion. It is better to be born poor than handicapped by such vast and sudden wealth as plays havoc with Pittsburg youth But along with sound mind in a sound body it does a. young man no harm in a republic to inherit from ! clean-llving ancestors a family tradi- ton of private honor and public duty.- New York World.

HOW TO INsPTRE A BOY.

Another thing hich we are beginning
 to recognize and utilize is the public
 purpose in college training. If man
 thinks that he is sent to college to get
 culture, the aim is a little indefinite
 and rather demoralizing Culture as an end of education is, after all, rather a selfish idea. It is not one that ap- poals to boys of the best class. Public spirit is a better one. If you tell a boy that he is given liberty, not to serve himself but to serve the public, he is
 ready to take that view and assume the responsibilities that go with it. He will arrange his course intelligently if he understands that that course is be-
 ing made a test of the lines in which he can best serve his fellow men. He will do hard and even disagreeable

FIRST CONVENTION OF
theta MI EPSILON

New York. March 29.-At the hotel
Aston today there was opened the
first general convention ever held by
the Theta Nh Epsilon fraternity,
though the society has been in exist
ence many years and has a member
ship extending over the country. The
purpose of the convention is to reor-
ganize the present system of gov
eminent of the society without In
any measure departing from the orig
inal objects of its founders. The de-
velopment of the society since Its or.
ganization in 1870 has Leen so rapid
that a more complete control of the
national organization Is necessary.
The convention will come to an end
with a banquet tomorrow night, at
which men of prominence in the
world of affairs with membership In
the society will be the speakers.
