NOT HIGH, BUT SAFE.

Now that a certain kind of high f1nanciering is being revealed in its true light 1t is perhaps a good time to call attention to a notable example of the kind of f1nanciering that is not called high Octave Girard, of Ware, Massachusetts, is the happy possessor of $10,OOO which he has saved in twenty-seven years out of $1 earned daily. Besides accomplishing this little fortune, MT. Girard has reared thir- teen children. and now, at the age of seventy-two, he is going to settle down and enjoy himself. To his wife rather than to himself Mir. Girard attributes his success. When his children were young she washed, carded and spun wool for their clothing. After finding himself failure as a cohbler in his early days, MT. Girard shipped on a whaler and spent five years at sea. Then he went to Canada and married Miss Amanda Girourd, the sweetheart of his boyhood. Settling at Ware, he became a coachman, and for twenty Iseven years he worked for the same family at the uniform wage of $1 a day. When his children grew up and began to earn little money his sav- ings increased.
 This is humble, but it will seem to some better than being fired out of a bank after raising the devil as high financiers

larly offensive in clergyman to seek information by association with the classes, for of all the men in the world he is the least likely to make an intelligent use of it. Being neither an historian nor sociologist by train- ing he is apt to make wrong applica- ton of his knowledge. In other words, clergyman is under no obligation to indulge himself in this kind of ques- tionable stunning. His task is to preach the word. which when well done is quite sufficient to protect the folks consigned to his care. Our adx vice to the wife of the Quincy parson in particular is to keep him nearer home even if he loses his hold upon sociology.

Are You Getting Anywhere,

You arc rushing, you are straining,
 with grim look on your face; You are turning from all pleasures; in your breast peace has no place. You have ceased to find contentment in
 the hooks you used to know; You have ceased to care for others
 whom you clung to long ago; You are strainins. you are striving
 through the dark days and the
 fair,
 But, oh, mirthless, eager brother, are
 you getting anywhere? In your haste you have forgotten how to finger or to smile When child looks up and greets you
 or would claim your care awhile; Though the wild rose sheds It's petals
 in the lonely pasture still And glad breezes sway the blossoms in
 the orcnard on the hill, You are too much in a hurry, and too
 occupied to care, But with all your grim endeavors ara
 you getting anywhere? You have fled from sweet contentment:
 trouble haunts you in your
 dreams;
 It is long, since you have loitered on
 the banks of shaded streams That so singing to the pebbles thev
 have made so clean and white And have polished at their leisure and
 their pleasure day and night; You no longer know the solace that fs
 in sweet old air; But with all your ceaSeless moiling. are
 you getting anywhere? You have given up old fancies, you
 have left old friends behind You are getting rich in pocket, but are
 poor in heart and mind: You have lost your sense of beauty in your haste to push ahead, Ana along the ways you travel bitter
 ness and grief are spread; You have ceased to care how others
 bend beneath the woes they bear, But with all your cruel striving. are you getting anywhere? out beyond you there is silence that no
 man may ever wake, In the distance there is darkness that
 no mornings light may break. At the Journeys end dishonor is Tar those who day by day Cheat their souls and dull their sensas as they rush upon the wavl You are passing many pleasures which you have the right to share. AS you rush to fill the hollow men will
 dlg Tor you somewhere.

SILVER TOO.

Copper had many friends who have been saddened by it's rapid descent from 25 or 26 cents a pound to 12 or 13 cents Q pound. Silver still has some friends and they have been saddened by the descent of silver from sixty seven cents an ounce to sixty. It's rise to sixty-seven. was natural one, and Its fall to sixty has been natural one. When, owing to the crimes" commit cd against it, it fell to fifty or less that wasn't so natural or, at least, it didn't seem so to those who had 16 to 1 en- graved on their hearts and burned on their tongues. But those sad days are past, and now a fall in silver can be looked on and talked about much as a fall in copper or tin. Of course, though, the real old friends of silver still have some sentiment about it. They still think 1t was of more value for money than it has been for spoons, trophies, etc, etc.

NOT THE UsuA1 PnArFoRM.

A Georgia man is running for office on this platform: 1T want the office because I need the money"
 This is little out of the usual line. This candidate didn't require the usual urging by friends" to induce him to reluctantly consent to become a can didate. He Is not overburdened with a sense of his responsibility to the pub lie or burning with desire to serve it. But he is honest and frank enough to say why he wants office, and his hon esty and frankness are indications that If he gets 1t he will do as well by the public as do some of those who live, move and have their being for the public at good salaries. It might be good plan for the Georgia folks to whom this needy candidate is appeal ing to give him the office he seeks. He might really try to earn the money paid him.

The President Killed bear, but the New York Clearing House is the greatest bear-hunter.
SOGToL 0GICAL STUDIES.

A Massachusetts clergyman was re- gently arrested in disorderly house located in Cleveland, Ohio. His wife in newspaper interview explains as follows: My husband has always been deeply interested in sociological questions, but of course has had little opportunity since coming to Quincy to study them at first hand AS for his actions in Cleveland, he has done only what I expect he will do as long as he lives and has heart to help those in distress" His fellow clergymen, hearing of his predicament hastened to express their confidence in the integrity of his motives.
 This puts an altogether new phase upon the necessities of sociological hunting, and suggests that either ministers of the cloth ought to leave the investigation to lay sleuths or themselves Hay aside the cloth of the church before they undertake the quest It is not so many years ago that New York clergyman, moved to close and personal study of the dark and seamy side of life. went about among the disorderly houses of that city in search of information which should justify his suspicious. It has never been stated how long he had been at the game when the fact was disclosed that he had been at certain place with his companions in search of the truth, but it has never been forgotten that expeditions of that character carry with them to the pub- lie at large most unpleasant irn- pression. The average man cannot un- derstand from anything in his own experience why it Is necessary to delve thus deeply into the dirt of life and finds 1t difficult to explain 1t on grounds that can be accepted. It is seen that 1t is possible for trusting wife to add her complete satisfaction to that her husband takes in repeated ly visiting places of disorderly character, but it is hard to believe that she Is not the exception which proves the rule.
 Nor is 1t bit convincing to be told that the motive of these repeated wis., its is to accumulate information of a sociological character. It sounds well to be told that this was the motive, but other men who are equally inter- ested in knowing all that is to be known of the weaknesses of humani- ty have not found 1t necessary to make such frequent visits to places where evil conduct is the rule. Many useful book has been written by men who have never found 1t essential to search for material at the sacrifice of self-respect Many an expert upon the general subject involved is able to dis course for hours without feeling the necessity of personal contact with sin. In fact the testimony of the real so- biologists is to the effect that the data upon which to base conviction are abundant enough to save the student the distress of a personal investiga- ton with all the uncleanliness involv- ed. It would be unfair to say that those who must sec sin with their own eyes in order to the better battle with 1t are moved by an affinity for 1t, but it is not too much to say that those who take that view of their duty lack the balance essential to dispassion- ate view of the subject.

CoIor Lines in Cuba.

<AAA4S ~Aio AN1Ny hllc,J
 There are however, social distinc- tions in Cuba, based upon color; there are not one, but several color lines. though these are not eternal, hard, fast and unchangeable as in the United States. Tn Cuba social life is run large ly by social clubs. There are in al- most every town and village negro clubs, two or three grades of mulatto clubs and white clubs. Tn one and at it's functions may appear the husband, excluding the wife; in another the wife, but not the husband; in a third their children, but neither the father nor the mother.

TaftInlng Chlnn.

(From the New York Tribune.) ]
 Chinese comments upon Secretary Taft, his visit to China and present and prospective relations between that country and America are gratifying, but by ne means surprising Mir. Taft ap- pears to have done in China what he has hitherto done in various other lands in both continents. He has created a most agreeable impression both of him. self and of the oountry which he repre- sents, has allayed actual or potential i'll will and has materially promoted confidence and friendship. Such achieve rnents are not always within the power of envoys, They are not to be effected through diplomatic intrigues or secret treaties, which may temporarily gov-A ern official action, but which are vaIn in their effect upon tho public sentiment which must in the end be the basis of every lasting peece and friendship. They are the outcome of directness and frankness and transparent candor and the capacity not only to see, but in some measure to appreciate and sympa- thize with both sides of a subject qualities which MT. Taft conspicuously possesses,

LIFE IN WONDERLAND.

When the first Atlantic cable was seen to be success there was great and general enthusiasm in this and other countries. The feeling was well expressed in the message What hath God wrought" Now that wireless telegraphy across the Atlantic is seen to be a success there is no general commotion. The news is taken almost as matter of course. And yet the achievement is perhaps even more wonderful than that which joined Eu- rope and America with a cable. But the modern wonder-workers have done so much during the last few years that there is little capacity for surprise left in the people. They ex- pect new wonders and they get them so often that life in wonderland seems the natural thing.

ONE OF SHE ROYAL FAMILY.

Cotton is still king, but corn be- longs to the royal family. The recent corn exposition held at Chicago was 8 great and cheering show, and it called attention to some of the things that are being done to improve the quality of corn. The talk now Is that there is as much in the science of breeding seed for corn as there is in breeding fine live stock. Recent exper- iments in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and other Western States have demon- strated that greatly increased yield

 There is no disgrace attached to a divorce in Egypt If mutual admira- ton wanes with the honeymoon, there is nothing more natural to the Egyp- tan mind than that the dissatisfied party take steps toward another trial. Marriage Is universal in Egypt. There are no old maids; widows remain wid- ows but a short time, and, as a rule, no young man is considered fitted for business or entitled to the confidence or the community until he is married.
 It is discovered that the drafting of the young men of Germany into the army has tendency to draw them from the country, for after having lived in a large city, with it's attrac- tons and conveniences, the return to the small village, where life is neces- sarily much slower and the opportuni- ties for entertainment much less, the desire to return where there is better pay, shorter hours and more diversity in life usually overpowers the home interest.
 Cooperative housekeeping is to be tried on large scale at Garden City, Letchworth, England. The houses are to be built about three and one half sides of quadrangle, each house separate except that there will be a common dining hall. This, with the servants quarters, will be in a centra' building connected with each house | by a roofed cloister. Meals may be eaten in the common room, or, for 6 small extra charge, in the separate houses The rent will be from S1oO tc s225 year. A special place may b, provided for musical practice to keer the tenants from annoyance, and ther, will be restrictions on pets, but no on children.
 According to- the Iron Age, tn, new steel bridge of the Chicago S Alton over the Sangamon river. nea, Springfield, Illinois, has been made all most noiseless, the vibrations of thl ironwork when 8 train crosses beint almost entirely eliminated by layinl eight inches of ballast between tn, sleepers and the steel structure. Ther, is said to be less noise when a traii crosses this bridge than when runnin, along the ordinary roadbed. The ex tra expense for the ballast and heavie bridge members required makes th construction more practicable fo short spans than for long ones, bu its value for elevated ones should b, great.

COAL INDICATIONS GOOD

The coal deposits, spoken of some
weeks ago in these columns, continue to
improve with development work.
Messrs. Blanchard and Nichols, the To-
Gators of the ground, are sinking on the
vein of coal and it is getting better with
depth. A company of Tonopah people
has also taken up number of acres of
coal ground adjoining that of Blanchard
and Nichols and is doing development
work with fair results. There are indi-
cations that gas and oil may be found in
that locality as well as COAL The loca-
ton of the claims is about AZ miles al
most due south of Yerington Some of
the coal from these properties will prob
ably be on exhibition in Yerington in a
few days.
