THE ox-MoToR.

In, the choice of motive power, allow me to suggest the OK. The horse leans forward to pull and even helps himself along by bobbing his head; he jerks load out of a hard place by plunging bodily against the collar, stopping and lunging again; he strains through hard place and then starts suddenly for ward at his release; he works him. self into a lather; and you, if you are the right kind of a person, can- not help feeling for him and assist ing him with inward stress and strain.
 The OK does not. bob horn. He simply journeys, and the load goes along. When he comes to tough place his pasterns do not bend down; he does not squat to pull; he does not pinch along on the toes of his shoes; he seldom blows, and he does not know how to sweat. He des not exert himself at patch of woven soil and then hurry up when he is past 1t. The chain becomes stiffed and the yoke sits solder to his neck, and that is all: there is no sign of effort. The earth may grit its teeth and crunch as it swal- lows the blow, but the OK stalks on his way. With the share deep or shallow. or lifted entirely and hang ing from the axle-whether he is blowing earth or air--it makes nc difference to him. His most pom derous task is still himself, and he needs no ineidentals.
 He is out for a stroll; he does not allow work to inferere with the even tenor of his way. His tendons are rigged to his outstanding rump bones like so much spar and tackle. and he goes along by interior lever age; inside his old-woman hulk is the necessary engine work. and he will neither go slower for this thins nor faster for that. There Is much about him besides his disposition that is self-contained: he Is the an tithesis of the automobile. To ride on his back Is a cure for the indig- estion: to ride behind him is a rest for the mind: a course of OK is an antidote for the ills of the tines Charles D. Stewart, in the Atlantic

BEREDITY AND POLITICAL SENSE

Thurlow Weed was an able and clesrheaded politician. as politics went in the second quarter of the 18th century. Not always scrupulous in his methods. as the good enough Morgan until after election" episode showed. but alert to catch the drife of public sentiment and align him. self with 1t. His son-in-law and suc- cessOr in the control of the, Albany Journal. William Barnes. sr.. was a pupil who did credit to his preceptor. IT he had not the keen intellect snd alert resoureefuIness of Weed. he had the same instinctiye perception of and sympathy with the trend of popular thought. and he maintaiEnd the high repufe of tbe Journal as a party oracle.
 It might be thought that the sons and grandsOns of such men would, by virtue of heredity. by right of the qualities inherent in their blood. easily attain to unquestioned leader ship in the party ranks. But there seems 10 be nothing in heredity. So . far as courage and fighting energy g0es the Barnes brothers of the pres eBt generation are worthy Of their sires. but they are sadly lacking h the ability 10 keep ia touch with and in a little in advance of popular sentiment which distinguished Thur I0E Weed and the cider Barnes.

IL is notorious that great aggre- sations of wealth and power usuaI- ly do not operate as efficiently as smaller concerns. says a writer in the Engineering Magazine. The va, rious operations of a railroad or of a manufacturing concern are per formed far less economically and ef. iciently than similar operations in smaller and more compact industrial organizations. Also nothing Is 90 gigsntieally inefficient in view of its power and opportunities as such an organization as the United States government Tn what it does. |. cannot compare relatively with the comfort. security and hygienic con ditions supplied by a large. modern American office building. The ten million-dollar and upwards company ought to be able to supplement every doliar-s-day worker with a S2OO.OOO a year s'an of assistants. thereby making the worker four times as effective and gaining a crushing advantage over the smaller concern which cannot afford the same aggregation of specialized knowledge. The great concerns however. have conspiruOusly failed to develop this advantage even fl they do have a large stan of eH- psrts. a very different thing from a staff organization which gives the least worker the needed direction. stimulus and advice. A s20e.s80 staff for a doIlar-a-dzy man is neith- CT utopisn nor expensive Or the contrary it is to the highezs aeErs. economical. if almost inhnitssimal attention from s very high priced man uin make. as to his speciality one thousand or twenty thousand lor priced men fOsr tines ss sf- fsctivs.

 In examining his old desk at the aF- mory the other day, 1t was found that 1t contained a hidden shelf. On that shelf was a printed copy of the hrst constitution and bylaws of the com pany drawn up on Feb, 2, 1886. and re- vised on Jan. l2. 1887. The printed copy bears the printers date of 1s42. Many of the provisions made ir these by,iaws would make the citi5en-soldier of today take q great deal more inter- est In the affairs of his company, and it is certain that no man would have permitted himself to enlist unless he meant to pay strict attention to his duties. or that he had a large bank roll with which to pay the nnes that would be indicted on him.
 The fines for failure to put In an appearance at dress parade were. for . commissioned officer, $7; a aoncom- mtssiened ofices, s5; and for private $8. 5s s.ts For failure to appear at regular dflllss an ofitcsr would have to pay e3 6 non n-commissloued ofaeer, $2, and q private. s1.
