SACRIFICE AND FAME -.,aIA

No one can look at the wrinkled,
battle-scarred faces and bent forms
az the veterans as today they place
upon the graves OF departed heroes
the flowers OF remembrance, without
rejecting that men give high price
for their wrea.ils CT fame.
The candidate for immortal honors
sits ON one side OF table and the
goddess OF Fame sits on the other.
Upon the chaplet of honor.
Can you wear rags? Can you eat
crusts? Can you endure bitter cold?
Can you know sleepless nights? VIII
you give In exchange your youth, your
health, and all you love? II not, this
wreath and this niche in my temple
of fame Is not for YOU"
There Is no primrose path TO con-
quest and honors. The fields of infiu-
ence are reached by the steep hills or
difficulty. The eager aspirant must
hew out each step as he climbs. Often
tie step is used by the next aspirant
following after, while the first toiler
leaves his body lying on the hilltop
he has just surmounted.
Not alone is this true OF the soldier
who gave OF his life-blood that the
slave might be free. but true IL is also
that the teacher gives the best OF his
life that the pupil may be wise: the
physician wears himself out that the
Sick may recover; the scientist burns
himself up by overstudy that he may
find the clue of the unknown: the
mother dies that the babe may live.

WHY RAISE FREIGHT RATES2

There Is to be a general upward re-
vision OF freight rates June l, and a
more noticeable one next fall is
threatened by our lords of transporta.
ton.
Railroad men say that the raise is
due to the increased cost of operation;
increased wages, they add, are large
ly responsible.
Higher freight rates mean a still
higher cost of living. While pas
senger rates affect only those who
travel, freight Is paid by everybody
who eats. wears clothes or pays for
a funeral. II is paid when YOU buy a
loaf of bread. a yard of cloth or lum-
Der for a casket. Indirectly, OF course,
but you pay 1t the same as you pay
the retailer. the wholesaler and the
producer their share.
Why raise the freight rates?
For the year ended June 80, 1909,
the railroads OF the country collected

Universal the sacrifice, for the law
OF life through death Is a law OF ma
tnre. The leaf falls that the shrub
may be stronger: the tree falls that
the soil may be deeper; the bee dies
that the hive may hold honey, but
these sacrifices are unconscious and
not premeditated.
The man or woman. the boy or girl
who deliberately turns from the path
OF ease and chooses the path OF sacri-
fee. following Il where II leads, is the
glorious hero OF the world and the
handspring OF progress.
The :outh OF today is inspired by
the great deeds OF yesterday For
this reason, IL no other, self-sacrifice
and heroism are really worth while.
Men are moved by tales OF success
and sweetened and inspired by taleS
OF love. but they are transformed and
redeemed by tales OF heroism.
The stories OF heroism that crowd
our memories as the rapidly lessen
ing ranks OF the boys Of the sixties
march by us TO their goal, the little
mound in the soft bosom OF Mother
Earth, should be retold again and
again 10 cur children.
Not that they may be warlike, but
that they may be brave, honest and
true to THEN fellow men and to them
selves.
These mortal few who are
cheered and crowned by the onlook-
ers OF today will, with those who have
preceded them into eternity, be held
in everlasting remembrance by those
who live on the morrow's morrow.

Meet at Circle.

Charles visited the circles maintained
by that cult and became acquainted
with Miss Elsner who finally lent him
$1,000 to 90 into business. This sum
has never been repaid.
According to the story, as told by
Miss Elsner. she first met Charles when
he came to a meeting Of people inter
estcd in occult science held in Homo
lulu. At that time Miss Elsner was
living in Honolulu and had consider
able money. She was in poor health.
After several meetings, she says,
Charles came to her aud said he was
sent by 1.-The masters to give her re
lief She let him treat her. and after
several treatments he coHided that he
needed $500 to 90 INTO business. Miss
EIsner, after discussing the Question
with him. finally went t. the bank and
drew $1,000 in gold, which she gave to
Charles At first Charles did not give
any security. but upon demand finally
gned a note, giving a fictitious first

the senate. while it calls for construct
i've ability of a high order, requires
close personal relations with Democratic
as well a. Republican senators. \ real
leader must lie on friendly terms with
most Of the ninety-one other senators
and know the avenues by which they
can be reached. \ leader must be able
to frame compromises and command
support for propositions. and in the SEN
ate, where it Is a matter Of give and
take more than is the case in the house,
he must be able to keep a book account
of favors done, He must also know
something about the demands that the
respective constituencies make upon
senators and the business interests to
be assuaged. There are scores Of wires
which can be pulled on every senator.
no matter to what party he belongs.
Senator Aldrich' 5 ascendency and sue
cess has been due in some measure to
his knowledge Of what the wires We're
and how they could be manipulated.
Senator Crane is quite as good a mas
ter of that kind Of information. He
is a very able business man, with vast
interests. HI knows the country indus
trially like a book, and he knows the
attitude that various business and in
dustrial interests are likely to assume
toward given matter of legislation.
No other man in the senate can cope
with him on that ground. Furthermore,
he is willing 20 spend his days during
the session Of congress in keeping post
ed, in visiting around with senators and
keeping ia To on their sentiment.
Although he has been in the senate
little more than five years, he has
been applying himself all that time
along lines that would promote his eff
cheney in his present capacity. He
started in as a party whip, keeping
figures on the lineup of senators and
eanvassing among them to ascertain
how they were likely to vote. Most
senators arrive at the capitol along
about noon and get away soon after
the senate adjourns. Senator Crane al
ways puts the entire day in at the
capitol when he IS in town, unless it
be that he slips cut to a baseball game
along in the afternoon. He dispOses of
his correspondence and holds his recep-
tions to visitors from home with cOnsjd-
cradle dispatch, and most of the re-
mainder of the day IS virtually on the
