JUDGE NOT.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.


HE Is an old tightwad."
That much the writer heard. and he
listened TO this further arraignment of
the absent subject
II tell you. lie Is the stingiest man i'm
town He insists on the last red cent
that is coming to him. He is as close
as the bark on tree. and IL is well
known he gives nothing away In a
worthy cause
Severe. but
AS the writer happened. to know in
this case. 1t was only half the truth.
True, the man referred TO is close in
his dealings, but this is also true: III he
insists upon what is due him be is also
ready to pay to the last cent what he
owes. His bills are promptly met. he
is recognized as an honest man. His
credit Is good. And this cannot al
ways be said of some other men with
a reputation for generosity. He de-
mands no more than he is willing TO
concede. If he is insistent upon full
payment. he. is also ready with bis
own check book.
But
There is another side to his charac-
ter hidden from the public view
Let us turn the shield around.
This individual who is called stingy
and close listed has large family. He
is fairly prosperous. but be needs all
his money. He slaves and saves not
for himself, but for his family. He
would perhaps like TO be generous and
charitable in giving. but for the sake
Of the dear ones he must drive hard
bargains and insist upon full payment
OF his due. He even stints himself for
their sakes.
More yet
One of this mans children is a life
cripple. Another is incapable of max
ing its way in the world. And he is
educating an orphan niece. The person
who called him tightwad didn't know
that.
Stingy? No. Hard hearted? No.
He lavishes all his strength and all
his money and all his tenderness on
those who need his first and greatest
care. He does this deliberately and
without regret and without self pity
he is not a demonstrative man. He
is not built that way. And yet his In.
innate friends know how his big heart
yearns over those helpless ones.
Stern aud cold?
Maybe. He doesn't wear his heart or
his sleeve. And for many years he
has buffeted the waves OF crushing
trouble and daily sorrow He may
have false view of things. but he nc
doubt feels that he must fight a world
that knows and cares little for him OF
his. So men call him hard and unfeeI.
ing, whereas in reality he is as tender
as child.
You see. exterlors are deceptive
You do not know what mans thorn
In the hesh may be by looking at him
from the outside.
Therefore
Judge not lest We be judged"

PRECIOUS STONES.
She Qualities which Give 10 Them
Their Chief Value.


Their Chief Value.
Inc qualities for which precious
stones are mostly priced are luster
transparency. refraction and dispersion
or light, although, Of course. scarcity
and demand are the principal factors
In determining the market prices. For
instance, the emerald today is treble
the value it was only few years ago
This is partly caused by the greater de-
mand, but more on account of the state
OF war in which the country-viz. Co
tombia, from which emeralds principal
~ come-is now engaged. thereby rem.
dering 1t most difficult for those en-.
gagged in the industry 20 procure them,
says Mines and Minerals.
The emerald mines of Colombia. at
Muzo and Coscuoz. near Bogota. have
been worked almost continuously since
loOS and have been the means of sun.
| plying the world with most of the
emeralds i'm modern times. There were
mines In upper Egypt which yielded
this gem to the nations of antiquity,
but were lost sight of from the time Of
the Mahomnedan conquest until quite
recently, when some attempts at work
ing them were made
The emerald mines in the Trails were
not known until the eighteenth century.
and though they yielded fairly good
material for time their Importance
/ Is not great. as the stones found are
not of good enough quality to pay the
rate demanded by the government from
the lessees, but they were reopened in
! 1900 by syndicate, with little success.
as far as can be learned.
There are many stones holding the
! qualities first mentioned in a high de-
gree, but they are little known be-
cause. in the first place. they are to be
obtained In larger quantities. and tho
! people engaged in the stone trade can
not therefore make the profits they
are able to with the scarcer gems
while because of their abundance and
presumably lesser value they have
been given to the native cutters, who
DO not understand the laws of refrac-
ton and reflection. to operate on, with
the result that they are put on the
market and eventually mounted In
jewelry looking like various colored
acid drops and entirely lacking bril-
liancy and those sharply defined facets
which give that reflection which is the
chief charm and makes evident the
great difference between the real stone
and its imitation.
The last few years have witnessed
the great strides which the various
Fancy gems have made in the public
favor, notably when used in neck
chains. At present these are being
made up with all manner of colored
stones. and If the manufacturer gives
as much attention to the cutting of the
| stones as he does to the making of the
settings he can produce really de-
| lightful ornament. = Chicago Record

Harvard Almost Lost Eliot

Teaching" said President Eliot, "is
an altruistic profession, and no one
should enter it who is not willing TO
devote his life for the benefit OF others.
AS rule. the teacher is not we'll paid
individual. but there is satisfaction
from. other considerations. There Is
the satisfaction OF being useful to the
community, for the teacher is above
the greed OF high salary, and there
Is also satisfaction from the respect
and affection of pupils in after life.
When / first began as a teacher iu
the university" continued President
Eliot. Il was receiving $1,000 a wear
and soon was offered the position OF
superintendent OF the Merrimac mills
In Lowell. with the salary of 1000 n
year. and 1t took me two weeks to de.
eide the question.
Il considered myself adapted TO
teaching and refused the offer. Later

STEPPING Off CARS.
aethods Used by some OF the Noted
Railroad Men.


Millions of dollars are paid in dam
ages annually TO fools who have never
prdcticed the art OF alighting from a
moving car IL the railroad managers
mad the courage of their convictions or
the foresight of John ID. Rockefeller
they would establish schools ia all
parts of the world to educate patrons
in this important matter.
Watch. for instance, some of the not.
ed railroad men. Let us take big, jol.
iy, serious. hopeful. restless President
Underwood of the Erie. He Is u strap
ping big man, as strong as President
Roosevelts bull moose and came I'D
from cross ties. No one in the entire
railroad world is his superior in hard
and practical experience. Does Presi.
dent Underwood wait on the platform
until the train is under way before he
decides to get ON? Never, No fancy
work with him. When the engineer
pulls open the throttle you can bet all
you own on earth and part of your sal
vation that Il. ID. Underwood is CON-
fortahly ensconced i'm his section OF the
dents private car.
Underwood is said to be the strong.
est of ali railroad presidents. He is n
Sandow without being muscle bound.
In early youth he was u scrapper from
way back; could lick thrice his weight
IN wildcats and looks as IL he could do
1t now. Tom Lee is bigger man.
Tom is six feet four inches. Did any
body ever see him run for q train or
jump off when his carswas in motion ?
No He leaves those feats for fool
passengers. Did George III. Daniels.
dean emeritus of passenger agents,
ever try TO catch train? Neverl Or
leap off before dead stop? Not on
your life. What of Charlie Lambert
A train would have 10 get off the track
to pass over him. yet he is ever care
fuI.
Let us learn of these practical men.
President Baer of the Reading system
lifts up his voice TO heaven before en-
tering train and is sure to be in his
seat ere the bell rope is pulled. His
able and accomplished vice president
and general manager. w. G.. Palmer.
Is handsome. stocky man about five
feet eight inches In height and has the
shoulders of Ajax. Besler could lie on
the track and let one of his $40. 900
pound engines run over him without
fear of evil, but who ever saw him
jump off n moving train or try to catch
onef President Cassatt, the most in
teresting of all railroad presidents, has
not tried TO jump off n train In mo-
ton since he ran level in the con-
struction department of the Pennsylva-
MIA system.-Vlctor Smith In New York

Throwing 9 Chest ,niure..

IL cannot be repeated too often that
the more that appalling system of chest
swelling was practiced the greater was
the INVADING for circulatory diseases.
the Foot guards. who were more "set
up" than the line, always heading the
list for invallding for these diseases.
And who will say OF the guards that
they were originally defective?
II was hopeless to expect men to he
content and not to take any opportu-
nifty TO quit the army who felt the In
jury to health being inflicted on them.
They were taught to regard the dIlat-
ed. rigid chest as essential, that SOL
diering could not be thought OF without

Knew More Than the Judqs.

Justice Maule, one of the greatest ju-

to the credibility Of a witness on one
occasion, and the man declared that he

you been divorced?' 4 little girl was
witness before him, and he proceed
ed to ascertain whether she knew the
nature of an oath. The child in an

heaven if she told the truth, but would
go to the other place if she told lies.

court; "she knows more than | do
