WHAT STIRRED ENGLISH BLOOD.

The treatment received by Million aire Patten in England was a surprise to this country and the conservatives rapped John Bull over the knuck1es hard, preaching sermons to him upon the virtue of being a good loser as well as a good winner He did not sit in silence and let his critics yawp; but in prompt order presented his point of view which so agitated his hooters and hissers and gave the toe of his boot such a suspicious move ment that MT. Patten fled precipi- tately and tumbled into a cab in time to escape the frumiliating climax. He set forth that the winning and losing was a part of the game which they recognized with complacency, but what they objected to was this, after they had been skinned and were sore they resent the coming back of the taker of their pelt for the purpose of shaking it in their face. They will not tolerate the extreme of insolence, for they regard it as an insult and a chal- lenge to violence. That Seems to be so we'll stated that MT. Patten and all others Americans understand it, and future slzinners of the British capital ist on cotton any other natural product will know right where to draw the line of their operations. John Bull is not kicking at wounds, but he'll let no American rub salt into them without kicking.

TAE WAY TO THRItT.

The way to thrift is not the road of fine masses Keeping in the social swim is a custom which keeps thou sands out of the thrifty class. The first position of thrift is that Of being a lender of money instead of bor- rover. and that is what every deposi- tor in Q savings bank actually be- comes The way to financial security is the day Of self denial and it ever will be. No one can have his cake and eat it. The power to check our wants and to create balances instead esS deficits is the first sign of mastery f it does not carry more than a dime 10 ones cre6it; and the multiplying of the dimes is what spells success.
 Andrew Carnegie is right in say ing that the first goal of a wage earrer in saving should be to acquire s1,oOe. Virtually all rich men who have given their testimony on the sub- ject agree on this point Another point which sIr. Carnegie makes, and upon which there is a consensus of opinion among men of his class, is that money grows surprisingly fast after the first q 900 is acquired. Money grows while a man sleeps. while all the man gets who has no capital and does manual or clerical labor is what he earns while he is awake.
 Self-deniai Is only inviting to those who become conscious of what it means in the end. It really means higher and better plane of life-the Independence. the security and the con- ndence which is the fruit of the ability 10 meet every claim Of every creditor. This Is the surest way to command the respect and regard of oth1rs-the lhortest and truest road to prosperity and to realize the ambitions which harsSs the soul.

THE BATTLE OF LIFE.

A man not only has to fight for what he gets in this world; but he has to battle to keep what he has originated. The way the Wrights are invoking the aid of the law to protect their rights while they reap the profits re- sulting from their study and genius shows this. They not only distin- guished themselves as crazy fools' first, but found out that the theories concerning air flight were all wrong and that to win the true principles of flight must first be discovered, and they discovered them. It is said that there is not a single airship which does not resemble theirs, monoplanes biplanes or multip1anes, and 1t is their patent rights which they are guard ing that involve them in so many law suits.
 The bird men of Dayton are not only battling to reap the results of their labors. but to prevent the prod uct of their genius being stolen and the rewards being reaped by others. They regard the aeroplane as still in the exhibition stage. The problem of safety has not been worked out. Skill and unshakabIe nerve are still the prime requisites for making a flight. The clement of risk which so delights the patrons of state and county fairs can be supplied III any quantity called for. The day has not yet arrived when the amateur can unpack and assem- ble his machine, read his book of di- rections, take his seat, start his en- zine and go soaring over hill and meadow. It may be long time be- fore the rural postman will drop his packet of papers and letters into a hopper conveniently placed among the treetops, or airships will be seen car rying passengers and freights across New England skies.

FORTUNE FIRST - EDUCATION
 AFTERWARDS.

IL has fallen to Daniel Waldo Field sf SIonteiIo, Mass, to reverse the usual order of things, by first making a for tune and then taking a college course. MT Field is rated as a millionaire, Is g director in several corporations and employs 5000 people in his Broclzton shoe factories. He has entered the Harvard business school as student He is. of course, especially interested in corporation law, and the studies which will make him even a greater captain of industry. At his time of life he win not find the college di- versions necessary to his success, for he knows his purpose in becoming student at Harvard, and if little late will bs the more concentrated and intent upon his purpose.
 If our memory serves us, there is a Missouri woman of 92 taking a, college course because she has always de- sired to take such a course and at that age saw and grasped her first opportunity, and she is likely to live to acQuit herself with honor.
 Commenting upon the boy and the college course. an exchange says: "The truth is that a boy may be spoiled by studying too little in college, or he may be spoiled by studyin g too much. He may on the other hand. be vastly benefited by a college course if he can go through it retaining his human sympathy. his habit of observation and his native logic. It all depends on the boy The generic weakness of book cducs ton is the putting of symbols ahead of facts In the school of life, in the mines of Nevada, in the ranch country of the prairies, in the machine shops in the business houses. facts have to be put ahead of symbols.

The agitation and the preaehments

 The agitation and the preaohments
 of the last few years are bringing
 many persons in high places and the possessors of large opportunities to
 realize that it is not safe-to put
 matter on the lowest plane-to ignore what the rank and file of people want and expect and mean to have in due time. How much better it is for cor porations and richly -dowered individ-
 uals instead of having to be forced to
 please the public, to anticipate its at titude and in the bcEt sense of the term to cater to it.

That was a bold and happy stroke on the part of a new traction company in one of our great cities when, in connection with it's detailed announce ment of its plans it added, as kind of watchword, this line: 'The public be pleased" It is not so very long ago since in that same city a railroad mag nate, swelling with a sense of his own importance and power, proclaimed con- temptuously his indifference to the public in language more emphatic than quotable. The total reversal of that short-sighted and ostrich-like policy indicated by the words "the public be pleased' is one of the cheering sign posts on the highway which humanity is treading today.
