Strategy That rafled.

A lumberman living in Minneapolis
was reputed 70 be the wealthiest man
living west of the mississippi River.
He had been poor in his youth, how
ever, and had never overcome the eco
nomic habits that he had formed in
his days of poverty and in the build
ing of the foundation of his colossal
fortune
His two sons, however, were differ
emily trained, and when they returned
from Yale they were seized with a de-
sire, born no doubt of f1lial love, to fix
the old man up. They knew that it
was vain to attempt to induce him to
buy clothes other than the shabby and
threadbare garments he had worn for
years and they resorted to strategy.
They went to a tailor and told him
to make SIS coat for their father
but to tell him that the price was SIS.
The loving sons promised to pay the
difference from the amounts they drew
from their fathers bank account
The old man finally consented, after
much arguing, to buy SIS coat, and
the coat was made. The old man paid
over the SIS, and before he had gone
more than two blocks he was met by
an acquaintance, who was astounded
to see the multi-millionaire in the un-
customary garment. He commented
on the quality of the coat and. his
forefathers having been Englishmen,
he asked how much it cost.
Fifteen dollars"

Turning to Men.aI Healing

Many of our best physicians, wnS
only a few years ago ridiculed mental
healing, are beginning to adopt the
principle-so far as they know how
IN their practice; especially the power
OF suggestion They are finding that
their patients are often more affected
by mental medicine, by their "calls, !"
their encouragement and good cheer,
than by their pills. They are finding,
too, that the mental attitude of the pa
tlent has everything to do with the eff
feet of the disease, that it often proves
the turning-point in a critical crisis.
Tne result of all this mental influence
is very marked falling off in the use
OF drugs. Many of our leading physi-
clans give but very little medicine, be-
cause they have very little faith in it.
1t is now we'll known that scores Of
eminent physicians employ metaphysi-
cal healing il their own family and Of
ten for themselves. Even the regular
medical schools are taking up the sub
ject of mental medicine in their lee
ture courses
Hampered as this great movement
still is by the errors and extravagances
of over-zealous followers, and also by
the fraud of charlatans, who take ad-
vantage of the opportunities it offers
to impose on the credulous and ignor-
ant, there is no doubt that the basic
principle of this metaphysical move
ment has opened up many possibilities
of mind building, character building,
and body building, which are destined
to bring untold blessings to the world

CROWN OF NATIONS CAPITOL.

Statue of Liberty, Too High for Close
Study, Symbolic of the Union.
ARMED Liberty" the magnificent
statue that crowns the dome of the
Capitol, is by far the most symbolic
OF ali the statues in Washington. Beau
tiful and reposeful, yet with an air OF
vigilance, it is perhaps the least aD-
preciated of the city's statues, posi-
bly, because of its being placed at such
an altitude that it cannot easily be
studied. The original plans of the
Capitol called for statue to surmount
the DOME but no title was then given
it, and although more than half CEN
fury has elapsed since its erection,
comparatively few people know its real
name
The statue was modelled by Thomas
Crawford, father of the novelist, the
late F. Marion Crawford. 1t was cast
at Maryland foundry. Jefferson Da-
Wis was Secretary of War when the
model was first presented at the War
Department. The statue then wore a
liberty cap and carried bundle of
rods Davis objected to the liberty
cap as being emblematic of enamel
pated slaves, while Americans were
free born. He also thought the bundle
of rods, suggesting the functions of
the Roman lictor, had lost its symbolic
character Because of these criticisms
of Secretary Davis the model was
changed and the Armed Lady, was
evolved
The statue is nine feet six inches
tall and weighs 1885 pounds 1t was
put in place Dec. 2, 1868. The head
is thrown back and adorned with
eagles beak and plumes. The right
hand rests on sword and the left
holds an olive branch and a shield.
The mantle is gracefully draped and
is held by brooch bearing ~. S."
on its face. The helmet is encircled
with stars. The supporting globe bears
the legend, "E Pluribus Unum. San

since 1882 was established the other

of 1902 this is the highest price re-
corded for any month since the Cud-
ahy pork corner in 1893, when live
hogs sold at $S75 a hundred weight
The prevailing high prices are due to
unusually light receipts of live hogs
this spring at all Western packing
centers. the extremely high price of
grain last year prompting many farm
ers to dispose of stock rather than
pay for feed stuff. Receipts of hogs
at the nine leading markets of the
West were 10000 head less than for
the corresponding day last week, and
$4,000 less than the receipts year
ago. AS a result of the scarcity of
