Delightfulness of Daughters"
Here is a recent sketch that a

Here Is a recent sketch that ap-
peared in New York daily:
''Sit here, daughter!" The digni-
fed elderly father designated seat
to the quiet, middle-aged woman
who came with him into the some
what crowded railway suburban
train. Something in the gentle au-
thority and kindness of the tone
caused two Of the nearby passengers
to look up interestedly.
The fine-faced woman-as digni-
fed as was the father-seated her
self at his suggestion. A moment
later the father, from his seat just
behind, across the aisle, leaned for
ward to make some remark about
the crowded conditions.
1t was slight and passing Incl.
dent. Yet there was that degree OF
Difference and direction on the one
hand and of delicate acquiesence or
the other, which gave to the rela-
tionship of the white-haired father
and gray-haired daughter thoroughly
unmistakable distinction.
ST wish my father would call me
daughter in that way. There is q
delightfulness in 1t that gives me 8
positive new sensation" said one Of
the two young women passenger
who had heard and observed. so
could obey any man-father, hus
band, brother, son-who would take
care of me in that tone of voice."

IL all the lads and iasses should re-
member for a day.
To do their errands and their tasks
as surely as their play,
Should hang their hats and Jackets
up. and put away their toys,
Should remember that the garden Is
the place to make a noise
Why, what a very pleasant world for
mothers this would bel
How very many happy mother-faces
we should see.
For children don't remember, as
everybody knows,
But IL the children should-why-
just suppose!
II all the children's mothers turned
forgetful I'm day,
IL instead of taking care of toys, they
threw them all away,
Forgot to bake the cookies. and for

Forgot to kiss the aching bumps and
make the bruises we'll
Why, what a very dreary world for
children this would be.
How very many melancholy little

For mothers all remember, as every

But IL the mothers shouldn't-why

Christ and the Boys.

There are ten thousand boys IN
the reform schools of this country
under seventeen years of age. Most
Of the criminals Of this country are
under twenty. Jonathan Edwards
was only eleven when he was con-
verted. Wesley and Luther were
about the same age, and Sturgeon
was fourteen. You cannot tell what
the boy may become Do not be
afraid to work for him. A bishop
once remarked: "If the Church neg
lects the children, the devil will
not" There Is much truth there,
for the devil neglects not for a sin
gle minute. Never give boy up, no
matter how bad you may think him.
Wild boys often make the best men.
Then let 1t be remembered that
the days of ones youth should be the
time of the acceptance of Christ, be-
cause sin is not so strong. 1t can
be proven by the statistics of the
churches that 80 per cent of the
Christians have accepted Christ be-
fore the age of twenty, and if they
do not come at this time, the chances
begin to run nightly against them.
It has been said: Live as long
as you may, the first twenty years
form the largest part of your life. !"
They appear so when they are pass
ing; they seem so when we look
back on them; and they take up
more room in our memory than all
the years that come after them.
Take good care of the first TWEEN
Ity years of your life. On the use
which you make of them your hap
piness and usefulness in after years
will very largely depend. See that
they are spent in forming right
habits and cultivating good tastes

The Wanderer.

Upon a mountain height, far from
the sea,
] found a shell,
And to my listening ear the lonely
thing
Ever a song of ocean seemed to sing.
Ever a tale of ocean seemed to
tell.
How came the shell upon that noun
tain height?
All, who can say
Whether there dropped by some too
careless hand,
Or whether there cast when Ocean
swept the Land,
Ere the Eternal had ordained the
Day?
Strange. was it not? Far from it's
native deep,
One song it sang
Sang of the awful mysteries of the
tide,
Sang of the misty sea, profound and
wide
Ever with echoes of the ocean
rang.
And as the shell upon the mountain
height
Sings OF the sea,
So do l ever, leagues and leagues
away
So do 1 ever, wandering where !
may
Sing, o my home! sing o, my
homei of thee.

down into the village and villages,
their place has been taken in many
cases by a most undesirable class of
poor white trash as they would be
called in the South.-Vergennes En-
teiprise.
The above paragraph is taken from
an editorial from the Vergennes En-
terprise bearing upon a sociological
condition which must continue to
stand in the way of progress in Yer
mont for many years to come. The
man who will advance some plan to
re-establish even in a small measure
the thrift and energy that formerly
prevailed in many of the turnout"
back country districts in this state
will confer upon the commonwealth a
benefit that will give him large
place in the respect of future genera

His Majesty on various occasions of

To lovers of romance there is here
an epitome in these stars and ribbons
and badges of all that is romantic in
seven centuries of history Here are
symbols of a world of chivalry, of
valor, of poetry, and of piety.
What, for instance, could be more
charming than the tale of the found
ing of the Order of the Garter?
Everyone has heard how, at the Court
of Edward Ill, lady CHANGED to
drop her garter. which was picked up
by the King. Observing the bystand-
ers smile significantly, Edward eX-
claimed in a tone of rebuke, "Honi
soft qui NAL y pense," and to prevent
any further innuendoes ne tied the
garter round his own knee. This
tradition, it may be remarked, Is
strictly in accordance with the ro-
mantle habits of an age when devot-
ion to woman was one of the first

WELLMAN OFF FOR POLE
Started from Spitzbergen Aug. is in
Balloon, Report from Norway

Paris, Aug. 20.-A special dispatch
has been received here from Trieste
saying that, according to a telegram
received from the captain of the ltal-
ian steamer Thalia, now at Hammer
fest, Norway, Walter Wellman left
Spitzbergen August 16 in his dirigible
balloon. bound for the north pole. He
had a favorable wind when the start
was made.
For the past four years Walter
Wellman of Chicago has been deyot-
ing his time to preparations for an
undertaking to reach the north pole
by airship. He was at Spitzbergen in
1906 with a balloon, but postponed his
departure on account of the lateness
of the season. In 1907 a start was
made in the airship America but the
vessel encountered a storm and was
driven back and the attempt for that
year was abandoned.
Mr.. Wellman left New York May 2
of this year for SpitZbergen Where he
has been engaged in completing his
preparations for the start he is now
said to have made three days ago. He
estimates that under favorable con
ditions the pole can be reached from
SpitZbergen in from two to five days.
Madison, Wis, Aug. 20-Mrs. Ar
thur Wellman, who lives in Madison
and whose husband had, with his
brother, Walter Wellman, been maxi
ing preparations for the fight to the
north pole, received a letter from her
husband Thursday in which he said
that within three or four days Walter
would start for the pole. He said
Walter would take simply an engineer
and one other man with him.

ADVICE FROM ONE AT THE LADDER TOP

Hartman has gone and Hawley has come. One self-made railroad star succeeds another.
 The story Of Edward Hawleys sue cess is a familiar one It begins with a clerkship on the Erie railroad. At present Mir. Hawley is rated as one of the most brilliant business men in the country And this is what he has to say to young men looking for advice:
 If l were to law down a rule for any young man to follow, should say to him: Save as you go. do not speRd as you go. But behind all this is work. When people ask me what l am, say that am laboring man. I work as hard or harder than any man on my payrolls. I expect to be a worker as long as I am able. The finest thing about the average Amer ican is that he is a worker. The moment he retires he becomes a bore to himself and everybody else"
 Probably some forty years ago, when Mir. Hawley was entering the business world, he came across ad- vice Ike that and decided to apply it to himself. Such advice is cheap, and Its promises are magnificent, and yet only few reap the profits. The get rich-quick plan is more popular. but that plan produces no captains of in- dustry.

 The most precious asset any busi- ness man can have is his credit, snd to constantly maintain and strength en this is the earnest endeayor of every successful man of affairs. For years he may pay his hills promptly, with no inconvenience to himself, only to live to see the day when, as often happens in all business, he is short of ready cash. Then it is that his past record of honesty and promp- titude in money matters is ample guarantee that he will pay just as soon as he is able With this thought in mind it is not difficult to appre- ciate the dispicable underhandedness of one George E. Tralles, of Tucson, reputed to be an attorney, in his re- cent and unsuccessful attempt to un- dermtne the credit of the State Con solidated Publishing company, pub fishers of the Arizona Daily Star of Tucson, and several other influential and high-cIass papers in this terri tory. His method was to clandestine- ly obtain the names of firms with whom this company did business and then write to them. stating that he was in position to secure immediate settlement of their account with the above named company Naturally, such un-cailed for interference was strongly resented by these firms, whose relations with the State Con- solidated Publishing company had al- ways been the most pleasant, and they immediately exposed his impu- dence, with the result that this man will soon have a big job of explain ing on his hands. From this distance it would appear that Tralles was pull ing chestnuts out of the fire for some one else, as he had no grievance against the State Consolidated peo- pie, but be this as it may, it is this class of practitioners that brings dis credit on their profession and the bar of Tucson and the territory owes it. self the duty of thoroughly investi- gating this case
