Effective Originality.

The shrewdest thing young man
can do-to say nothing of the influence
upon his characters to determine to
put the greatest possible originality
and the highest possible excellence into
everything he does, to make resolu-
tion, at the very outset of his career,
to stamp his individuality upon every
thing that goes out of his bands and
to determine that everything he does
shall have the imprint of his character
upon it as a trademark of the highest
and the best that is in him. This is
his patent of nobility. If he does this
he will not require large amount OF
capital to start q business, and to ad-
vertise it. His greatest resources will
be himself. Originality is the best sub
stitute for advertising, as we'll as the
best thing to advertise, if quality goes
with it.-Argus.

Mexico City Police.

"When l visited Mexico" said an
artist, 81 found innumerable things of
interest, but that which gained my
notice particularly was the police sys-
tem. In the City of Mexico the police
at night are stationed at short inter-
walls apart in the street. Each police
man has a lantern, which is placed on
a stand in the center of the street. 1t
is his duty to remain in easy striking
distance of this lantern at all times,
SO that he will be on hand in case of
an emergency.
"Anv narsOn who is able to reach
the lamp and lift it from its hook be-
fore the policeman -intarfefes is ems
titled to reward of $500. Any police
man who loses his lantern is subject to
instant and dIshonorable dismissal.
This is to insure constant vigilance on
their part and to require their pres
ence at certain point at all times.
At first ] regarded the thing as joke,
and 1 tried to get possession of the
police lantern. But then found that
/ was greatly mistaken. Not once, al
tho exercised extreme caution, was
quick enough for the policeman on
watch.
"The City of Mexico is one of the
best policed communities in the world.
Policemen are always on hand when
one requires them, and it is virtually
impossible for desperadoes to oper-
ate in the open"-New' York Tele-
gram.

Won in Spite Of His Lawyer.

A once we'll known attorney used to
tell a good story on himself. He had
been retained to defend q counterfeiter

client did so. and as there was in the
mind of the court fixed idea that if

was transferred to Berne, Switzerland,
where he died one year later. Mr..
Roche was many-sided man, possess
ing the faculty of editorial expression
and condensation in remarkable de-
gree. In Boston where he was widely
known among all classes of people his
fame as poet was enhanced by his
reputation as generous hearted gen.
tleman.
1t is the writer's humble opinion that
the fame of Mr.. Roche will increase as
the years go by and his work is better
known. His career in many respects
resembled that of James Russell Lowell,
altho Lovellwas greater scholar and q
more polished man of the world. In
the final adjustment it is safe to ven-
ture the opinion, that among the many
poets and scholars of which Massa-
chusetts is justly proud and famous,
the name of James Jeffrey Roche will
ever endure engraved in letters of gold
on the tablet Of Fame. TJ.W.

They might naturally wonder for
moment in their confusion whether
Great Britain had not really won in
the Revolutionary war, and whether
Lord North or some successor of his
were not now directing the-fore!gn pol
icy of this country.
Perhaps they were at the Boston
town meeting, held in the old state
house in ITO, and remembered those
stirring words in the instructions to
the towns representatives to the gene
raj court by which they voted: "Such
an enormous stretch of power, if much
longer unchecked, will eventually an
initiate the essentials of all civil liberty.
1t is repugnant to the very first prin-
ciple of true government that distant
power, not only much disconnected,
but often different In interests, should
undertake at pleasure to control any
command in affairs of the least mo-
ment for the benefit and relief of the
people; a power 5000 miles distant, not
only ignorant of our true welfare, but,
if discovered, interested to oppose il" /"
With words of this kind, that were
voted by every town of the New Eng
land colonies, still ringing in their ears,
they might be pardoned for yielding
to momentary fear and despair, after
their rejoicing.
But like the sturdy patriots that they
were, they soon recover their courage,

THE PROHIBITION VOTE.

The prohibition candidates for
president and vice-president are to
make a whirlwind campaign, and the
leaders of that party are sanguine
they will cut deep into the ranks
of both the democrats and republic
cans. Eugene W. Chain of Chicago,
who heads the ticket, and Aaron S.
Watkins of Ohio, his running mate,
are able campaigners and experienced
speakers. Travelling separately they
will speak in every state in the
union, and present the issues, as
framed in their platform, to millions
of voters. They are encouraged to
this strenuous campaign by the phe-
nomenal growth of prohibition senti-
ment throughout the country the
past year.
This temperance wave is one Of
the most remarkable in American
history Whether its influence will
reach out from the individual states
affected into national politics is at
present a question that cannot be
answered satisfactorily. The lead
ers of the party, however, believe
that it will They estimate that the
prohibition vote this year will reach
100000, and may greatly exceed
even these figures. If so, it will have
an important bearing upon the cleo
ton. The largest vote hitherto poll
ed by the prohibitionists was in 1892,
when John Bidwell, the presidential
nominee of the cold water party, re-
ceived 264,000 votes. Four years
ago the prohibition vote was 258,-
600. The vote seems to be very
Irregular After the high water mark
of 1892 it dwindled to $4,000 in
1896. In 1900 this had sweled to
2OS,000. An increase this year to a
million or more may seem extrava-
giant, but in view of the tremendous
temperance sentiment that has mani
tested itself in many states it is not
by any means impossible.
Both of the two great parties will
keep their eyes this year on what
the prohibitionists are doing.

NOT THE SINGER. BUT THE SONG

NOT THE SINGER. BUT THE SONG
Thirty men, red-eyed and dis
heveled, lined up before a judge in
the San Francisco police court. 1t was
the regular company of drunks and
disorderlies. Some were old and
hardened; others hung their heads
in shame. Just as the mOmentary
disorder attending the bringing of
the prisoners quoted down a strange
thing happened. A strong clear voice
from below began to sing:
Last night as l lay sleeping
There came a dream so fair"
Last night? 1t had been for them
all nightmare or a drunken stupor.
The song was such a contrast to the
horrible fact that no one could avoid
the sudden shock at the thought the
song suggested:
81 stood in old Jerusalem,
Beside the temple there"
The song went on; the Judge had
paused. He made a quiet inquiry.
former member of a famous opera
company, known all over the world,
was waiting trial for forgery. 1t
was he who was singing in his cell.
Meantime the song went on.
Every man in the line showed emo
ton. One boy at the end of the
line, after a desperate effort at self
control, leaned against the wall,
buried his face in his folded arms
and sobbed, 20, mother, mother"
The sobs, cutting the weary hearts
OF the men who heard the song still
yelling it's way through the court
room, blended in the hush. At
length one man protested.
Judge" said he, have we got
to submit to this? We're here to
take our punishment, but this"
He, too, began to sob.
1t was impossible to proceed with
the business of the court; yet the
judge gave no order to stop the song.
The police sergeant, after a surprised
effort to keep the men in line.
stepped back and waited with the
rest. The song moved to its climax:
Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Sing. for the
night is Ger,
Hosanna in the highest, hosanna for
evermOre!"
In an ecstacy of melody the last
words rang out, and then there was
silence
The Judge looked into the faces
before him. There was not one in
whom some better impulse was not
stirred. He did not call the cases
slngly-a word of advice, and he
dismissed them all. No man was
| fined or sentenced to the work house
that morning. The song had done
more good than punishment could
have accomplished Chris

Only a Hot Weather Yarn.

From the Savannah News.
The suggestion that Mr., Haarst's
independence League Will put out a
state ticket in Georgia is probably
hot weather yarn and nothing
more. A Hearst ticket in Georgia
this year would have no more chance
than SNOWFALL in Washington. D.
e., in August. The voters who en-
tered the June primary, which nom
mated Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown. stand
pledged to the nominees of the demo-
cratic party. The idea that Gov
Hoke Smith would support an anti
Brown candidate on a Hearst ticket
IS unworthy and gratuitous. since
the governor is a democrat and a
party man. The long ana short of
1t is that Georgia is Just as certain
to go democratic all the way through
IN November as it is certain that
election day will come around.
