The Rule of Gratitude.

.ISUPPOSE that there is not a more liberal man in town than Mir. Blake" said an eldery man to a younger one recently. "and vet he told me the other day that he had found no such thing as gratitude in his experience. It m akes enc wonder whether it is worth while to hear a thing lik5 that"
 "Mr. Blake's experience is probably quite correct" said t.e younger man. "l myself was once under an obligation to him. and l never rested till had more than repaid it and could be as ungratesul as chose. You see. Blake expects you to be grateful. and that freezes up all the springs of it in you If he has done ycu favor, te sure that he remembers it whenever he sees you. That isn't calcuated to make you fond of him is it Now, there's Hemingway. on the other hand. He is the mos forgetful of men. He does you good turn, and never thinks Of i again. The rule of gratitude is tha one of the Iarties has t reme mber; and as Hemingwa refuses to. the other fellow must Hemingway is positively embaresec by the gratitude he gets. He shie off when you try 10 thank him If Blake would only take lea out of his book, he'd never neet to complain of the ingratitude o man. But as long as Blake remembers the obligations he has conferred. the other parties are going to forget them. every time It's the rule. you know
 Maybe, as in other rules tEer' are exceptions to this one
 But, in the main. the young maI was right. When we expec gratitude, we cease 10 deserve it When we expect gratitude l wecease to deserve it. Whel we do things for othe-s, we mu leave ourselves out Otherwis e we are essentially self-seekiny. an not generous it all.

secretary on his trip to the isthmus. Goethals is said to be a six-o'clock-in- the-morning man. He is at it early and late.
 Mai Goethals was appointed to the military academy from New York and was graduated in 1884 Later he graduated from the engineer school at Willets Point, -N. Y He was for two years on the staff of Gen. Nelson. A. Miles as engineer officer of the de partment of Columbia, where he was engaged on surveys and reconnois- sance work, and under Gen. Merrill at Cincinnati, in charge of the con- struction of dams, dikes and locks. His next duty was at West Point in the department of civil and military engineering, and from the academy he was ordered to duty as engineer in charge of the Mussel Shoals canal. Tennessee river, where he began the construction of the Colvert canals;
 designing and contracting for the 26- i foot foot lift lock at ftfvertOn. Upon the
 completion of this duty Maj Goethals served for four years in the office of the chief of engineers as assistant. During the war with Spain Maj | Goethals was chief engineer of the l first army corps, and later he was l instructor Of practical engineering at l West Poiat He was in charge of all
 engineering work in the Newport dis | trict at the time he was selected for duty on the general staff in 1903--
 an assignment which came to him
 solely as a result of the recognition of l his unusual professional ability. | Associated with Mai Goethals will | be two engineers who were plebes
 when he graduated from the academy --Majs. D. " Gaillard and William L. 1 Sibert, who were appointed to the
 military academy from South Caro l lima and Alabama respectively, and l graduated in 1884 Both officers havc
 had wide engineering experience. Mai Gaillard was in charge of the l breakwaters and dredging at Duluth | at the time he was selected for tho
 general staff four years ago Maj l Sibert has spent the greater part ol his service in the construction of
 locks and dams on the Kentucky rivee
 and in supervising the erection oi
 completion of about 30 locks and l dams along the Ohio, Allegheny and 1 Monongaheia rivers.
 The fact that the new chief engi-
 neer is in the prime of life was a l strong point in favor of his selection.
 There are older men in the corps of
 engineers, and some who are per 1 haps better known, but it is declared that there is no officer of the requisite l health, initiative and ability who is
 the superior of the man President i Roosevelt has selected.

Congressman Perkins was talking about his bill for progressive inhey- itance tax.

 This incident is characteristic of the Spooner family back to the days Of the Roman invasion of England and John Colt Spooner is chip of the old block
 He was born in Lawrenceburg. Ind. January 6, 1S43, removed with his ia ther to Madison, Wis, in 1859 and entered Wisconsin university in 1860 at the age of 1T. h that institution his career was brilliant In history, civil government, international law, debate and oratory he was the ac- knowledged leader.
 In April, 1864, he recruited corr pany of student soldiers for the war frcm his own class, himself enlisting with the others as a private in com pany D, Fortieth regiment.
 At the close of his service he en- listed as captain of company A Eff tieth regiment, and was soon brev- cited major for gallant conduct. He was mustered out at the end of a trying and dangerous campaign among tho Sioux in June, 1866, and imme- diatetly appointed private aad mili- tary secretary to Gov. Fairchild, with the rank of colonel; next quartermas- ter general with the rank of briga- diers general and in 1S69-70 assistant attorney general-a remarkable career remarkably sustained for boy of 27.
 Senator Spooner was admitted to the bar in 1867. He was soon there after appointed assistant attorney general of Wisconsin, removing in 1870 to the city of Hudson, where he practiced law until 1884, in the in. terim serving as member of tho state assembly from St Croix county and as member of the beard of regents of the Wisconsin university.

 He was again elected senator in 1897, and, notwithstanding his an nounced unaiterable purpose not to be candidate for reelection, the leg islature Of his state insisted on con forring upon him the honor of an othea term CT six years, beginning March f i9a3.

He is retiring from public life at the age of GA for the express purpose of arning enough money in the next five or ten years on which to support himself and his family when his pro- fessional career is at an end
 Senator Spooner has occupied a prominent and powerful position in tho ,pper house of the United States congress A brilliant and incisive sneaker. he has taken part in many momentous legislative fights. That he has not gone into the cabinet has been his own fault, because he was offered a position as secretary of the interior in 1898 by President Mckinley, but he declined it. Again Ill 1901 President Mckinley offered him the attorney generalship but despite the fact that he is known as one of the best law vers in the country he declined it preferring to stay in the thickest or the fray in the senate.
