OMPLAINT comes from various sources
that a steadily decreasing number OF
young men are entering the ministry. The

at San Francisco, are more than $500, 900, 900 a year.
In the first three months of 1908 they were S53,0oo,ooo
an average of nearly three quarters OF a million every
day. The aggregate loss in five years Is more than the
amount of the national debt.
American city fire departments are recognized rs SUI
perlor to those of European cities: and although IN
this country a much larger proportion of the buildings
consists OF infammable wooden structures than Is the
case in Europe, that does not account for the fact that
our fire losses are from ten to thirty times greater than
those of European countries.
The National Board Of Underwriters declares that
the real cause is "carelessness and recklessness here,
as against the care. forethousht and wise supervision
in Europe" More disheartening still is the fact that
American fire less is steadily increasing year by year
It Is annually nearly two and a half times as great as
in 1880. and the rate Of increase is almost twice that
Of the increase in population in the same period.
The widespread movement for the prevention or I'M
necessary waste in natural resources and in raw mate
rial Is most Comnendable, but it is even more desirable
to check waste by fire. When buildings are burned
there Is more lost than the actual money value or the
buildings themselves, for business is usually interrupt
ed and the communities are deprived OF taxable prop
erty. The problem of preventing this waste, since SO
much of it is declared by experts to be preventable, is
one which may well engage the serious attention or the
American people-Youth's Companion.

The moment the monthly salary crosses thes bare necessity line, that moment the horizon of wants begins to widen, says Harper's Bazaar. For every dollar the salary increases the imagination finds place for $2. $3, A or $5. A great part of the demands existing in the world today are TO- mantle How shall the imagination be schooled, where shall the line be drawn?
 It should be considered a part of morality to live within the income, but on every side there seems to be an attempt to stretch the $1 .00O income to $2,OOO scale, the $2,OO0 income to a $3,000 scale. 5000 is made to do duty for $5,OoO and $5,oO0 is thinly stretched to the breaking point to stimulate a 1O,0OO income. With every added dol lar the horizon of wants will widen unless the imagination is wisely school ed Sadly do we need training to draw the line between wants and needs.

The Story of . Brook.

To lovers ot outdoors there are few things in the wide world which are more enchanting, more altogether de lighting. than just such brook, whose course-whose life, so to speak, have been trying to bring to the mind of those who know all its turns and whims and caprices in summer and in winter, in spring and in autumn, when much rain had maddened it and when none had caused it to shrink into a warped thing of nature without form and void. We may be hundreds of miles from the brook which we know best, but we know 1t is flowing just as it used to do, and there is ever the thought that if we cannot see 1t in it's daily moods there are others who may do SO. And. no matter the name of the peaceful valley through which it flow ed or where that valley may be, it was the brook of our childhood, and there is a brook, or ought to be, away back somewhere in the mind of every one whose heart and memory take him back to the scenes where at least some younger days were spent.-Outdoors.

The little man, on the con trary, is seldom burdened with. humil- ity. He is being of great aspirations and stupendous ambitions.

OF SEASON
Only Two More Games To Be
Played This Year

league, formerly with tae Barre

two games for Bennington at Hoosick
falls last year, will be on the slab for
the Huckleberry boys Warner will
bring with him a New England league
catcher, Hutson, in order that he may
not be handicapped by throwing to a
strange receiver. Warner is big
fellow and a pitcher of several years
experience in fast company and the
game should be well worth seeing.
Haynes will pitcn his last game
for Bennington at Morgan park Sat
urday afternoon. burlington will al
so make his final appearance with the
team. First Raseman Harry Watson
has been obliged TO assume his duties
as instructor in a Massachusetts

New York, Sept. cit was learned
on excellent authority last night that
f. II. Hartman has been in bed since
Friday, too weak to be moved. Win
moving of a multitude of unofficial re-
ports leaves excellent evidence that
he is under the constant care of a
corps of physicians and nurses, and
that ne has a high fever which is be-
ing relieved by ice packs and alcohol
baths. 1t is believed that oxygen is
kept always on hand if it's not now
being administered. The conclusion
is that the official Improvement
may be freely construed as a change
from a crisis to a state of grave dan
ger Mr. Harriman's condition is still
extremely critical.
An obstinate report from Wall
street that Mr.. Hartman was operat-
ed on for cancerous growth is
denied emphatically by his superin-
tendent, Mr.. Ford. In the mean time
anxiety and uncertainty are further
perplexed by the system of cross ref
erences adopted by Judge Lovett, Mr..
Harriman's counsel, and DR.. Lyle, ais
family physician Inquiries address
ed to the one are DETECTED to the
other until they fairly cross each
other in the air.
Mrs Hartman said last night that
statement would be issued in New
York by Judge Lovett.
1t is believed that the best special
lists in the country are being rushed
to the bedside, and that some of tnem
are always on hand.
The lines about Arden house have
been drawn closer and the superinten
dent has sent word that no more
newspaper men would be allowed ac-
cess to DR.. Lyle by either written
message or telephone These precau-
tions are directed more especially
against a group of spies sent here by
Wall street interests. Several of
these have tried to mingle with the
newspaper representatives to learn
what they knew. Though such infor>
nation would be of no use in the
stock exchanges on this side of the
Atlantic after the closing hour, 1t
might prove valuable in the markets
abroad, which open before the New
York morning papers have been read
by Wall street.
