MONEY AND HAPPINESS.
John Burroughs Discusses Their ReIa-
tions to Each Other

Ithaca, n. Y, Jan. 20.-John Bur
roughs, the naturalist, who is visiting
here, believe that few millionaires are
really happy. He is quoted in an in
terview as follows:
Il do not believe in the doctrine at
tributed to John D. Rockefeller that if
you want to make your wife happy all
of money. I do not believe that posses
sion of money and happiness are syn
onymous. If Mr.. Rockefeller has been
quoted correctly he is making de-
claration that believe American wo-
men and women all over the world will
resent. They want love first of all if
they are provided with the right in
stincts.
once he wrote a composition on a slate
for me when 1 needed ideas That day
he needed 20 cents and I gave the sum
to him for two old school books. I saw
him later in life when he was worth 20
million dollars but 1 do not think he
was happy. The money fire was bIaz-
ing in his eyes, and am sure it reach
ed his brain and consumed his life,
sending him to an untimely grave
''The great problem of today is the
making of money. 1t is unuuestion-
ably the occupation that engages the
minds of the vast majority of people.
But from what L have seen of life and
those leading it, when one has obtain
ed a competency money is superf1uous,
just like an excess of what is not need
ed to round out the figures and give it
a handsome appearance. Piling up
wealth then becomes like piling on flesh
and greatly hinders the enjoyment of
the best things of this life.
Il know milhonaires, and know very
few happy ones. True, Mr.. Carnegie
seems to be an exception because he is
different from many other rich men. He
is trying to get rid of his money, and
he takes keen delight in doing good
with it.
But even when one disposes of
wealth, if there is the consciousness
that in acquiring it the weaker creatures
have been overcome and saddened. 1
think there must be tinge of regret
in helping others with this very fruit
that has been obtained at such cost.
Money, of course, is necessary to
provide the comforts of existence but
cultured people, say cultured people,
mind you-can doubtless be contented
with books when they cannot buy auto
mobiles"

CALDERHEAD ILL.
Kansas Congressman May Not Be Able
to Return to Washington.

SaIina, Kan, Jan. 20.-Word comes to
this city to the effect that the condition
of Congressman William A. Calderhead
of the. Fifth Kansas district, who is sick
at his home in Marysville, is much more
alarming than has been intimated by
the press either at Washington or
Marysville. The congressman had a
hard spell of sickness in the fall and
from this he did not fully recover be-
fore returning to work. He did not i'm
prove, his friends say, and has contin-
ned to go downward ever since until
within the last few days when he was
.comne1led to return to his home for rest
before taking part in the fight on the
tariff measures to come up in the spec
iaI session of congress Immediately af-
ter the Inauguration of President Taft
It is reported here that his intimate
friends entertain fears that he will not
be able to return to Washington for the
special session, if at all in the future.

JINGOISM IN JAPAN.
yellow Press Is Stirring Up Sentiment
Against Uncle Sam.

Toxic, Jan. 20.-The nature of the
matter cabled from Japan quoting the
Japanese sensationalist press in re-
gard to the anti-Japanese bills pre-
sented to the state legislature in Cal
ifornia, is arousing the indignation of
leading newspapers and American
residents in Japan, who assert that the
selections sent out were taken from
the columns of the least responsible
in Japan, whose real char
acter is not understood in the United
States. 1t is declared also that this
was done Intentionally and that the
articles are calculated to rearouse feel
ings of bitterness on both sides of the
Pacific ocean. The leading newspapers
denounce what they term an effort to
create international unfriendliness.

Mild Laxative
for Baby Free

The child of today is the parent of
the future, and whether it grows up
healthy and strong, or puny and weak,
depends upon the intelligence of its
parents, for most children are born
into the world healthy but thousands
become future weaklings between birth
and the age of ten, when the parents
are still in greatest control.
The prime cause of trouble is in the
stomach. A baby that is digesting it's
food seldom cries and always looks cheer
romps and plays and never whines; the
growing child learns well at school and is
eager for fun if it's head is clear and its
stomach light, and that means if it has
no constipation.
The best and safest way to cure any
in children is by the use of DR.. Caldwelrs 8
Syrup PepSin. This is a liquid laxative
wonderful in its effect as Mrs. John w.
Dunham, Apple Creek, o., Mrs H. L.

children with extraordinary results.
