Change.

The secret of happiness is constant
change within the Limitations OF rea-
son and common sense. A rut in the
human soul is like a rut in the road,
dangerous and upSetting. If we must
remain at the same tasks year after
year for nearly the whole of a lifetime,
then it should be our cOnStatnt effort
to get all the variety we can into our
lives in other ways. The fact that
farmers wives 60 insane more than
class of persons is attributed to the
terrible montony of their lives which
are one ~unceaSing round of hard work.
A machine bearing on a single point
of metal, wears out that point Speedi-
ly. 1t is precisely the same with our
lives. One dull round OF thought, do
ing the same tasks at the same hour
year after year. will break down the
finest strongest brain, -.
So get out and have a vacation. AT
least give yourself a vacation OF
thought. Read new things; walk a
long fresh roads; look at new pictures
and new buildings. Invite fresh new
thought always to your soul; SO SHAH
YOU keep always young. Be not SO
sure that your fondest theory is exact
ly the correct one. Standing still is
decay and death. Hold the same pillow
handle, bend over the same desk forty
years, with your thoughts chained
down to then, and you becomce a
bumped shouldered old hunk-blind,
deaf, weak and disagreeable.
Keep up with the wagon. Change
your old views and habits for new n
better oneS when you find them,' n
be always on the lookout for them.

There are too many boys and girls
in the country and city, more in the
latter than in the former, who are
prone to look upon work as beneath
them. There are thousands of men
on the threshold Of maturity who re-
tain the same views and habits which
found encouragement in their earlier
years. What becomes Of this class or
people? Some Of them awaken and
after a desperate struggle overcome
the habit and learn to work, to save,
and to prepare for the inevitable
rainy day. Many Of them, however,
drift and drift until Trey become &C
ceptable recruits in the hobo army.
Then they speedily reach the conclu-
sion that things are mighty unequal
in this world; th t the advantages
are all with the rich, and that a poor
man has no show.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Jan. 24-The
Milwaukee Journal today prints an in
terview with Gen. Alger, obtained in
Detroit, March 4, 1900, giving inside
facts regarding his resignation from
McKinley's cabinet. Gen. Alger eX-
acted a promise that the interview
would not be published until after his
death.
Gen. Alger said that owing to the
severe criticism against him during the
Spanish h-American war he three times
offered to resign from the cabinet. but
that each time President Mckinley
said he would quit the presidency be-
fore he would allow it.
Gen. Alger said that the sequel
showed how much McI<inley's words
We're WORTH in that later his resigna
ton was accepted because the presi-
dent was "embassassed' and annoyed
because of Alger's alleged alliance with
| Governor Pingree in a plan to elect
Alger to the United States senate over
Mcmillan after the latter had promised
to give way to Gen. Alger after his
term was up. General Alger said that
Mckinley lacked backbone.
He related how he had finally learned
through Vice President Hobart that
Mckinley claimed he had embarrassed
him and how he went to the president
and asked if he had really embarra ssed
him.
Yes" he said, you have embar-
rassed be and 1 am annoyed"
rassed me and l am annoyed"
lieve his embarrassment by resigning
from the cabinet.
"'I have not asked you to resign
he said, I shall never ask you to re-
sign
But l wrote out my resignation and
sent it to the president. I had decided,
in order to prevent a fight among the
Republicans of Michigan. to withdraw
as a candidate for the United States
senate. But 1 did not tell the presi-
dent this.
The option he meant to give me,
/ you see, was to abandon the fight
against Mcmillan in order to save my
place in the cabinet. a few days after
this I received from the president his
written acceptance of my resignation.
Then I went to the president and told
him that when I accepted place in
his cabinet l had not surrendered my
/ citizenship"
Gen. Alger said he told the president
some things about Mcmillan which he
alleged were not favorable to Nc
Kinley.
Asked for an estimate of Mckinley
character, Gen. Alger replied:
Il cannot give that to you. He has
many lovablo qualities, but he lacks
backbone and nothing can make up fol
the lack of backbone"
