The Ex-PreSident.

Tomorrow, for the first time since
the death of Grover Cleveland on
June oath last, the United States
will have a living ex-preSident. Mr.
Roosevelt, comparatively young in
years and a man of great physical
vigor may reasonably be expected
to upset the popular notion, which
has considerable basis in fact, that
the presidents of the nation are not
apt to long survive their retire
ment from office.
Mr. Cleveland lived twelve years
after his retirement from Office.
This record was exceeded by only
ten presidents and four of these
lived to great age. John Adams
survived his retirement a quarter
of a century, and his son, John
Quincy, outlived his retirement
nearly twenty years. Tyler also
survived twenty years after leaving
Office. Thomas Jefferson lived sew
enteen years after his retirement
and James Madison nineteen years.
Martin Van Buren, lived twenty-one
years after quitting the White
House, the same number of years
that Willard Fillmore survived,
James Monroe lived six years after
his retirement. Andrew Jackson
eight years. Franklin Pierce twelve
years, James Buchanan seven years
Andrew johnson six years, Ulysses
S. Grant eight years, Rutherford B
Hayes twelve years, and Benjamin
Harrison eight years.
William Henry Harrison, Zachary
Taylor, Abraham Lincoln, James A
Garfield and William Mckinley died
in Office. Washington survived his
retirement less than three years
Polk died only a few months aftel
retiring from Office, and there il
every reason to suppose that haC
Arthur compassed his ambition o
an election to the presidency il
1884, he would have died early il
his term. for he outlived his retire
ment less than two years.-Quinc!

university is out with the follow
ing: The American boy should
have more coercion and not so
much persuasion. Sentiment should
mot dominate judgment. A boy
ought to be made to do things be-
cause he knows there is a force be-
hind the command. There is faI
too much delicacy in the present
method of treating the bad boy in
the public school. The best thing
that can be done is to thrash him.

LET THE BUYER BEWARE"
That Is the Only Neral We Have al
Present In Connection with
Wall Street Speculation

whom l'knew very we'll" says
John Parr, writing Of The Stock
Yards of New York" in the March
Everybody'S Capitalist Anancler,
manipulation and worth, say $780,
100000 mostly extracted from the
stock market.
Have you, asked, ever con-
sidered the ethical side Of your
busineSS?'
What do you meanS'
1 mean the ethics of manipula-
ton. know you to be an honest
man, esteemed above the average
by your associates. know you TO
be also a charitable man, who has
performed quietly much personal
good in his world. But | know
your business, too. You have made
a great deal of money by stock
market manipulation by selling
things to the public for more than
they were worth and taking them
back from the public at less than
they were worth
You think that is immoral?'
I am asking you
But suppose in selling a thin
high or buying it low | am myself
wrong, as l very often have been?
You have got rich by it. Any
how that doesn't touch the moral.
By manipulation you purposely
create a fictitious market on which
you can sell a stock for much more
than you think it is then worth,
and later, perhaps, when you are
ready to buy that stock back, you
resort again to manipulation that
you may obtain it for less than it
is worth
After a long pause he said: I
have been down here in Wall Street
more than thirty years. l have had
to take things as l found them. l
have had to do things pretty much
as other people did them. This is
no moral training ground. It's. a
place for strong-minded men. Much
that goes on here is wrong. Money
making is a sordid business any
where. l should not like to be
Judged by what | have done in Wall
Street here against such competi-
ton as we know to exist. | should
want to be judged by what l have
done outside by the railroads ]
have built and by the other works
for which l have found the capital
AS for speculation, It cannot be
eliminated from human activity
AS for manipulation, it will ir
some way always be the accompan
iment of speculation until mans
ingenuity is exhausted or human
nature reformed 1t is sometimes
necessary, sometimes profitable,
and always temptation.
This man is a type. He is lika
BILE. shrewd, sagacious, big-hearted :
a man who would honestly boast o.
: having never turned sharp corner
on his associates. l am sorry t
say that for many years he ha'
! practiced the kind of manipulation
: by which the few take an unfai
advantage of the many who brinl
money to Wall Street. All tn

THE STORY.

(ST HE good deeds Of great man
! how they live to inspire the
lives of those who come after"
Thou hast well spoken, Lycius.
And what nation hath more to glory
in than Israeli"
"Then why hast thou not spoken
of them before? Thou art rich in wis
dom, and proverbs flow from thy lips
like water from the ripping spring"
The elder man sat silent and a
deep, faraway look came into his eyes,
and an expression of sadness settled
upon his face. but he made no reply
to the others query.
The two men were seated in shad-
ed nook in one of those beautiful
grape arbors which centuries ago COW
cred the hilIsides Of Judea. The
younger man had come on long
journey that he might find and con-
verse with Jesus, the man of
proverbs, whose fame for the wisdom
OF his words and the beautiful recti-
tude of his life had spread to his own
land.
II would know this man." he had
exclaimed, land would sit at his feet
and learn of him."
And having formed this resolve he
prepared for the journey, and having
babe his friends goodby, had started,
saying:
Il go seeking the truth. He who
speaketh such wisdom must be en-
dowed by the gods with an under
standing of the mysteries of life. I
would learn Of him."
And so Lycius had come and had
found Jesus the son of Sirach as
gracious in manner as he was in
words. And since the day of his COM
ing they, had communed together con-
corning the deeper things Of life. and
from his manuscripts Jesus had read
to his guest the treasures Of thought
which he had cleaned through the
years.
On the particular day on which our
story opens they had been discussing
the uplifting and Transforming power
Of lofty thought. and Jesus had said
THAI good life was revelation Of
the truth. And Lycius had followed
with the remark with which our story
opens.
Yea. Israel hath indeed had many
great and good men to lead and guide
and inspire her, aad thou dost ask
why have not spoken Of them be.

ness settled upon the face Of Jesus.

and went on: "Dost not thou see
