rope. It was decided the larger man
should lower the smaller one.
as precaution the rope was put
about the lighter man, and he was
lowered a little way to slight shelf
and each time was easily drawn up
by the man at the top.
So far SO good
Finally the full descent was made in
the manner agreed upon. But when
the small man wanted to get up again
-horrors!-the man at the top could
not pull him.
They had failed to reckon on the
weight Of several hundred feet of rope.
In the story is a touch Of human
nature.
A business man. fairly prosperous,
grows discontinued with his slow but
sure progress toward independence.
He decides upon coup. He buys far
beyond his ordinary ability to pay. de-
pending upon a phenomenal trade
which he confidently expects. The
custom does not come to his counters
as anticipated Unable to meet his
bills, the first thing he knows he is
down in the canyon of Debt. He can
not get up save as the referee in bank
ruptcy pulls him out.
Too much rope.
Another man speculates on the board
of trade. He has made little money
in the bucket shop and decides that
the old humdrum methods of business
are too slow for him. He wants easy
money. One day he is at the bottom
of the canyon of Speculation. 1t was
sudden descent. He can't get out
because Of
Too much rope.
Still another man forms the habit OF
drink. When he gets the habit he is
in danger, but does not realize it.
Can't he quit when he wants to? The
grow heavy, and when he gets to the
bottom there is
Too much rope.
A married woman INDUCES in f1irta-
ton. There is no danger. 1t is only
harmless diversion. She does not
mean to be untrue to her husband. It
is SO complimentary to find that some
soul is twin to yours" But there is
no stopping place ~
Too much rope
1t may be stated further that the
small man who went down in the
canyon almost starved before they got
him out
Some who go down that way never
get out. There is too much rope.

WHAT HAVE THEY GAINED?

This query is forced on the inquirlng
mind when applied to the revolt In the
House of Representatives which has
eliminated in the humiliation but not Ill
the defeat of Speaker Cannon.
In the House of Representatives
thirty-three Republicans, including Nor
ris of Nebraska as their leader, joined
issue with the Democrats and rebuked
Cannonism, but when there was offered
resolution by Representative Burleson
of Texas to iepose Cannon then and
there, these Republicans baked, in the
very face of the defiance hurled at them
by Speaker Cannon.
Nor did Speaker Cannon mlnce his
words. He spoke with vitriolic tongue
and in a manner which awed the men
on the Republican side who dared not
repudiate him.
Ii is true that by having determined
on a change of the rules, the power OF
the Speaker to dominate with an iron
hand has been modified, but in the selec-
ton of the committee, as provided, not
one of the rebellious Republicans has
been named. This result, it would seem,
was obtained in a caucus of the Republ1-
cans and leaves Cannonism still in
force, if sheared of some of the arbl-
trary power possessed by the Speaker
before the rebuke.
In the course of the present Congress
there have been two opportunities OF
disposing of Cannon. The first was
when Congress was organized. Had
some Democrats not joined the Repub-
licans Cannon could not have been
elected Speaker The last was when
Burleson' of Texas failed in the antlc1-
pated support he had the right to ex-
pect from the men who had damned
Cannon and his methods.
Among the leaders who voted to sus-
tain Cannon was Norris of Nebraska,
who was the most prominent figure in
denouncing him. However, this is not
surprising, since the possibility of SUI
preceding Cannon with Democrat was
too much for the Insurgents.
Amidst these political connections
there is visible the CLEAN of light The
people are beginning to understand the
meaning of Cannonism and in time will
not hesitate to repudiate it no uncertain
sound. -..
But what have these Insurgents"
gained by their remarkable surrender to
Cannonism and to all the evil it implies

OPEN YOUR WINDOWS,

Some very interesting experiments
are being made at the State Agricul-
tural college of Missouri.
For instance:
There are in the whole world at
present just seventeen cows that give
700 pounds of butter or more per year
Five of these seventeen are at this col
lege.
How those cows must be pampered
you say. And you have visions of
warm. sanitary stalls in a beautiful
barn.
That is where you are mistaken. All
the winter long, except during very
severe storms, they spend the day in
the open fields.
Another experiment:
This one was made in fattening beef
cattle. One bunch was put into
shed entirely open at one end: one
bunch was put into the open; third
bunch was kept in fine. warm barn.
The cattle in the open fields. staying
there day and night. thrived best. OF
course they ate more food to combat
the cold, but they gave more beef per
pound of feed than the others.
What want to emphasize is this:
II the healthiest. thriftiest cattle are
brought up in the open fields. how can
human beings. who need oxygen just
as much as cows do. hope to thrive by
cooping themselves up and keeping the
fresh air out?
The point OF the observation is in
the answer.
The other morning, in order to catch
an early train. walked downtown.
In traversing the streets for nearly
two miles kept a lookout for open
windows.
How many? just two!
Most of these people not only kept
their windows tightly closed during
the night. but worked all day in closed
Offices or shops.
And lest they should get breath Of
pure oxygen they rode to their work
In street cars containing foul air SUI

One could almost wish that persons

A MODERN ST. FRANCIS.
By EDWIN A.,NYR.


Some Of the newspapers take occa-
sion to gibe at James Eads Howe and
his hobo convention"
Howe is one Of the remarkable men
of this generation. He is the grandson
Of James Eads. the great engineer who
devised and built the Eads bridge at
ST. Louis and the Mississippi river jet
ties.
James Eads Howe inherited the for
tune his famous grandfather won. Il
fortune of several millions.
He gave away every cent of it.
Though he was comparatively poor
at the time OF his Inheritance. he re-
fused to touch any part OF the money,
assigning it over TO trustees for the
benefit of humanity.
That was several years ago.
Meantime he works as a common la
borer, carrying his dinner bucket to
and fro, associating constantly with
workingmen and seeking to aid them
in every way:
Once year he calls a convention.
Some who attend are "hoboes," at
tracted by the free banquet which is a
part of Howe's program. But many
others are self respecting men out of
employment
Howe's motto is, The manless job
for the jobless man."
He is trying to induce the govern
ment to establish employment agen-
cies in the large cities, after the mau-
ner of Germany and France; also, in
so far as possible, to COLOMBO poor fam
lilies on cheap lands.
Who can deny the worthiness of
such aims?
Like Tolstoy, who labored at the
might teach and guide, so James Eads
Howe lives the workingman's life,
does the daily task of the common Ia
borer. that he may be in touch with
those he yearns to help.
He is man of culture. is modest,
crank.
No one will deny his sincerity.
For years Mr. Eads has lived up to
his ideals
1t may not be your way of doing
things or mine. but it is Christlike.

altar of st. Peters and took upon him.

A SILLY WOMAN.

A Chicago wife is trying to get d.
vorce on these grounds
Her husband. she says in her CON-
plant. "does not measure up to the
standard of heroism so evident in the
leading male figures of novels in size,
grace or daring
Ehieu!
If this woman should succeed on
these allegations, where would the rest
Of married mankind appear?
Very few average husbands are able
to measure up to the heroes In the
pages of Meredith. Nicholson and Nc
Cutcheon either as to 'tsize, grace or
daring"
OF course the Chicago wife has
merely read herself into vapid imbe-
cility, but she is nevertheless a pro-
nounced type Of other women who COM
pare their everyday husbands with the
armored knights who, with caparison-
ed horses and nodding plumes. amble
through the pages Of Booth Tarking
ton and Walter Scott.
Pitifui?
1t is pitiful not only from the side Of
the honest. striving husband. but pitt
full because the woman who pines for
hero in jingling harness is not able
to recognize the real husband hero at
her side.
There is a heroism in doing ones
plain duty that is worth more than a
library of book gallantry.
Looking for heroes?
You will not find them in the velvet
doublet and silken hose of 'The Pris-
oner of Zenda." but In the ready made
garments advertised on special sale in
the newspapers.

realize He does not complain and
would laugh at being called hero.
Heroism?
How Is the rescue of fair maiden
from some high castle tower to be
compared with the daily grind of de-
voted man toiling like the slave of a
galley to give his wife position or COM
forts or working himself into his
grave to give his children such an
education as was denied him when a
boy?
Romance?
It is the romance Of reality!
Stupid and blind. the woman who
signs for ''grace and daring" in her
husband and who cannot see in his
daily self abnegatfon and heroic striv-
ing the beauty and the grace of true
chivalry.

CHEATED!

Louis Hinton of Elizabeth City, the
richest man in North Carolina, died a
few weeks ago.
Hinton, it is said, owned real estate
in almost every state of the Union and
stocks and bonds in nearly every large
corporation in the country.
His wealth is roughly estimated at
100000, and it may be nearer So
000,0OO
This rich man lived in his old farm
house, which contained barely enough
furniture for actual needs, no carpets
and no curtains. Window panes were
lacking in half the windows.
Every morning before breakfast Hin
ton washed his face in the horse
trough. his only basin.
When he drove to town in his rickety
buggy he carried his dinner in a tin
pan under the seat
Nor was his action eccentric. He
was merely out and out stingy. 1t
was thrift run to seed and resulting
And there are others. They may not
wash their faces in the horse trough.
and they may replace the broken panes
in their windows. and they may have
rich furniture and expensive rugs, but
in order to be absolutely rich they will
sacrifice things of more value than
furniture or curtains.
Some Of these people that they may
get money they do not need will sac
rifice comfort. health, companionship
of family, friends. happiness.
Strange?
You smile at Louis Hinton carrying
his dinner under his old buggy seat or
at the niggardliness in trif1es that dis
inguished the late r ssell Sage. but
many a man anxious for surplus dol
lars will go further than that
For the sake of money he cannot use
many a man will sacrifice not only ma
terial things: be will blunt his coli
science and atrophy his SOUL
1t is easy to be rich-if you will pay
the price.
The question is. Does it pay?
Does it pay TO stunt oneself for the
sake of money one cannot use? Does
it pay to rob oneself of spiritual things
for the sake of material things-mate-
rial things that one does not need?
If SO. then Louis Hinton was wise to
save the cost Of wash basin and live
on bare floors.
II SO, then he is also wise who denies
himself, lets go friendship, even hon
or and self respect, in his chase after
extra dollars.
