Richard how long he wanted to live.
Richard pondered long time before
answering and said. want to live on

REckLEssNEss IN HIGH PLACES
Or. Adler Explains Why the Sword
of Justice Is So Blunt.

Dr.FeliX Adler, speaking before the
Society for Ethical Culture, said that
the country's financial troubles were
due to the moral recklessness of men
in high places. Most of the wicked
ness of the world he declared was
not deliberately planned, but the indi-
rect result of the policy of those who
did not care for consequences.
moral recluessness and obliquity in
men in high places have shaken con-
fdence in American securities he
said, "and diminished the value of our
assets. The actual wealth of the coun-
try is only part of the assets. The
farm products of the United States for
the last year were valued at seven
and half billions, but the principle
of fair play, of giving an equivalent
for good received, is the lien or securi-
ty on our wealth, and the real asset.
Here we have the spectacle of a ma
tion financial causes.
Robbers at long range, franchise
stealers, directors who loan money to
one another at one-third less than the
market rate, poisoners at long range;
these last are gentlemen of good breed
ing, who wear clean linen, who move
in the best society, yet they are pois-
oners, since they adulterate the food
we eat, or worse still, the drugs used
by the sick And SO the ugly list
swells. Lying advertisers, jerry build
ers who have influence with the Build
ing department, counterfeiters, conf
dence men, and all the wretched brood.
The Sword of Justice, why is it so
blunt? 1t strikes, but very rarely cuts.
This is one reason why: The distance
between the doer and the decd is so
great. the difference between the real
and the apparent responsibility is so
hard to find From the New York
Evening Post.

possession of the rude sketch. He
was never too busy, this great heart
ed man, to do kind thing, however
small it seemed.
Even when he was boy he was
always on the side of the under dog,
as we say, and sympathized with all
suffering, for he had known so much
of it in his own life He was very
poor, you know, and had to work
early and late and hard for the barest
livelihood. What would you think
of living in q cabin where the wind
whistled through the chinks, rough
leather hinged boards took the place
of window sashes, and, when visitors
came, which happened only few
times in the year, raw potatoes were
pared and washed and handed around
for refreshments? The family were
too poor to afford anything else.
Lincoln himself never had any
stockings until he was nearly man
grown Rough cowhide boots, deer
skin leggings and coonskin cap were
the best his boyhood ever knew. For
pins he used the long thorns of the
haw and bean locust, and his coffee
was made of rye bread crusts.
But Young Abe as he was called
in those days, was as ambitious as he
was poor. He would walk miles and
miles after his hard days work was
over to borrow some book-a gram
ms n n nj n mn Of In nr hicf
which he had heard of some neighbor
possessing Then he would read and
re-read and study it, until he had
mastered every word, sitting up far
into the night to work out examples
by the light of the pinewood fire.
Paper was too expensive in those
days for q boy as poor as Lincoln to
think of owning any, and states were
unheard of where he lived. But he
used smooth boards instead, and bits
of charcoal for pencils, planning the
boards off when the sides were all
covered with figures.
"Do you think you would ever
want to learn enough to take so much
trouble?"
Teddy shook his curly head sober
ly. He was very much interested by
this time, and one or two of the other
children, who had run in out of the
snow to get warm, had also stopped
to listen to grandpa's story.
"Often, too," the old man went on,
"they could not get their meal ground
at mill, and Young Abe would
have to grind all the corn, ear after
ear, on big iron crater, something
like those we use for nutmegs now.
The only bed he had in those days
was one made of big slabs hewn from
trees and covered with hay or straw,
and he paid for his first suit of blue
jeans at the rate of 400 rails a
yard.

How Caterpillars Build.

Many clever caterpillars which
dwell habitually in company build a
common nest for the common benefit.
OF these is the famous American tent
caterpillar. The tents are really nests
of silk spun among leaves and twigs.
In them the caterpillars dwell when
young, and to them they resort for
shelter in rainy weather even when
larger grown. Allied species which
pass through the winter in the cat
erpillar state construct winter sleep
ing places which the bookish folk
call hibernaculums. These are often
conspicuous among the branches dur
ing the cold months of the year. If
torn open they reveal surprising
thickness Of spun silk forming a
dense nonconductive wall. At the
center OF the mass lie from thirty
20 fifty tightly packed caterpillars
waiting for the return of the warm
weather, when they will resume their
feeding.

An Odd Bet.

One of the most singular wagers,
which might be taken to be the out

was made and decided in 1911. Sir
John Throckmorton at that time bet
1000 guineas that he could have a
coat made in day, from the first
shearing of the sheep to the last
stitch of the tailor's needle. Accord
ing to the agreement, at 5 in the

sheep were shorn, the wool spun"

and wove," the cloth blurred, milled,

was in the hands of tailor. At ex-

finished his task and the complete
coat was presented by Mr.. Coxeter to

to be the strongest of all known

equalling that Of good cast iron.
Many specimens are, however
much stronger, and one was tested
up 10 seventeen and half tons To
