Optimism is that frame of mind by
which We rise to belief that there
are no trusts, that they are good
things and that we've got them on the
run.
Platitude is handy name with
which to knock an awkward truth.
The man who had rather do wrong
than nothing has a tolerably respecta-
BILE place in history after all. Some
very good things have been blundered
into, first and last.
Sometimes a man who is putty in
your hands is convenience, and
sometimes not. Putty has disagree
able way OF sticking to you.
American politics Is the same old
whirlpool OF conflicting interests, and
it's still an open question If anything
will SO safely carry man through IL
as the barrel OF our fathers.
Any reform is bound to encounter
opposition where il does away with
distinction so hard earned as that OF
knowing how TO spell in the old way.

PORTABLE SOURCE OF WEALTH.
Little Gold Dust Factory in Each
Mans Pocket Out West.

While the scarcity of currency
caused the substitution In pay envel-
opes Of gold coins for bills pleasant
and profitable habit which is said to
be in vogue ont west, where gold is
always more in use than in the east,
is understood to have found much
favor here.
The nature Of this is suggested in
question which a New Yorker who
was away out west near Detroit or
Denver or somewhere in the neighbor-
hood recently put to a native.
Why is it, he asked, that every
man | see out here always has his
hand on his waistcoat pocket and
every little while takes long turn at
rubbing it gently?"
That's his gold dust factory" was
the answer. "He has that pocket lined
with emery paper and keeps a gold
coin In 1t all the time. He renews the
coin occasionally and then every three
months or so he cleans out the pocket
very carefully and sells the dust. He
makes quite a good thing out of it,

TREASURES IN LONDON BANKS.
Sultan OF Morocco Has 100000
Worth OF Jewels There.

Abdul-Aziz, sultan of Morocco, Is
taking no chances of losing his per-
sonal jewelry In the course of one OF
the frequently recurring disturbances
in his country. Locked up in the
vaults of bank near Charing Cross,
London. the jewels. valued at $4,000
000 are guarded night and day They
occupy space less than the size
of bushel basket and lie about thirty
feet below the level Of the Strand.
Not far away, in the same vault,
are several million pounds worth OF
unclaimed jewelry, some of which was
deposited there during the French
revolution. French people. fearful of
being robbed in the reign of terror,
secretly conveyed their possessions to
London and a vast quantity has been
left uncalled for. The bank authorities
have failed in every effort to locate
the original owners heirs.
An offer of s1,250.000 as a loan on
the sultan's iewelry has been made.
but the sultan is anxious to raise
much more than that.
