Laziness i'm Holland,

The man who Is too lazy to work
keeps out of Holland If he is wise,
or makes his escape as soon as he
discovers that there at least a
means has been found to make him
work. When a prisoner or pauper
refuses to work he is lowered into a
cistern, which is provided with a
pump at the bottom. A stream of
water is turned on and the idler is
left to his own devices. The caDa-
city of the pump is but slightly in
excess OF the stream flowing into the
tank and to keep his head above wa
ter he must keep pumping.
AS a rule, he spends some little
time before he finds that the water
is slowly creeping upon him. He is
not urged to go TO work, but pres
emily he takes his place at the han
die and begins the task. BY work
Ing quickly he Is able to clear out
the water after a short time, but he
has to keep at work II he wishes To
keep dry feet. There have been
occasions when a stubborn offender
has refused to pump and has quietly
foated upon the water until fished
out by the keeper. but this simply
doubles his task, and he is not taken
from the water until he is able to
keep anoat ne longer.

LOGICAL CANDIDATES
DARK HORSES. "
AND

Nothing changes so quickly as
American politics, unless 1t be the
weather Nor is there anything in
national politics SO illogical as that
expression which 50 many times has
been conscripted into service, "the
illogical candidate. There have been
many logical candidates" before the
assembling OF presidential conven-
tions, but usually the logic OF them
has dissolved just at the precise
moment when the conventions were
called upon Ito nominate their
choice. Accident, compromise, for
tuitous circumstances. blended with
ladroit wire pulling, have usually been
the deciding factors.
This IL why the "dark horse Is
as much a part Of skirmishes for
presidential nominations as the
illogical candidate" Both have be-
come indispensable to really proper
presidential campaign; II either one
or the other was missing there would
be something strangely wrong in the
managing OF these quadrennial con-
tests. They would lacls>natiye color,
and, moreover, would be insufferably
tame, which is a thing that the
American public cannot tolerate.
In the struggle now under way for
presidential nominations, an unusual

THE APRIL AMERICAN BOY.
The smiling, satisfied face which
/ looks out from the front cover OF
the April American Boy is an index
to the interesting, instructive and
pleasing matter this number con-
tains. Jimmy Jones, Pirate; Four
Boys on the Mississippi; and That
Dillingham; Boy, continue to delight
their readers. Mr.. Welrs fine serial,
Canal and Jungle, is regretfully con-
cluded. Among the shorter stories
are: The Poetry OF Steeples, which
tells of how one mans heart was
in his art; How Karl Got Even is a
humorous April 1st story, showing
that the bitens do get bitten some
times, and Fooling Father, the moral
of which Is that fathers are not as
often fooled as some persons think
Interesting articles are: A Poor
Boys Country; The Origin OF East
er; The Devils Bible; A Few Hints
on Golf; The Boy on His Muscle; A
Wonderful Educational Scheme; Ap-
ril In the Garden, and The Boys
Poultry Yard. The boys who desire
ito have clean, healthy bodies will
find Talks with the Doctor: Some
Secrets of Cleverness, and Destroy
ers OF Boys unusually interesting.
Forty Stunts in Magic for Amateurs
and Trapping Hints for Boys contain
many things for boys who enjoy
,mystifying their friends and those
who delight in capturing animals.
Every one of the regular departments
will well repay the reading OF them.

Among Magazines.

AT last the Standard Oil Company
has made formal and official answer
to the many criticisms of its busi-
ness and policy, made in late years
In the magazines and by the public
press, and 1t will be flattering to
Ohioans to know that this corpora
tion has selected The Ohio Magazine
as the medium through which to
make this reply. The March num-
ber of the Ohio Magazine contains
an article entitled "The Other Side
of the Standard Oil Controversy,
by Hon. Virgil p. Kline, of Cleve-
land, chief counsel for the Company.
1t is undoubtedly the most important
magazine article of the year, and will
be read with interest throughout the
country. Mr.. Kline goes into his
subject extensively, in part replying
to the article on The Standard Oil
Company, contributed to the Janu-
airy number of the same magazine by
Attorney General Wade H. Ellis. Mr..
Kline deals frankly with the facts
regarding the corporation in the ar
,gument, and shows clearly that there
are at least two sides to the contro-
|versy He relates some incidents OF
the various prosecutions against the
Company hitherto unkonwn to the
public. No person interested in the
industrial and capitalistic develop
ment of this country can afford to
miss this number of the Ohio Maga-
zine.
Another article that will attract
wide attention in the same number
is "The Democratic Opportunity" by
Hon. Chas. p. Salen, of Cleveland.
While II appeals in particular to
Democrats 1t will be of great inter-
est to all students of the present pol
itical situation in Ohio. The article
Is copiously illustrated.

the united efforts of artists and man

presentation of arias, quartettes, trios
and duets from the great operas
