were war horses The warriors were
drawn in chariots. The art of riding
was known. but 1t is alluded to as
something unusual. Ulysses at the

There are reasons for believing that
the practice Of riding was much later
than that of driving. and the myth of

DARIUS SEEKS HIS FORTUNE.

In fs49 when Darius, the eldest son, was
only eleven. Stephen Miller sold his mill
and went 70 live on farm in the neigh
borhood Here Frank. the youngest, was
born and here the four BOYS grew up.
Their mother Was true TO her purpose that
they should become strong, Independent
men and so the day after Darius was six-
teen-he was spared that one day because
of his heroic birthday-he was sent cut to
shift for himself.
He vas hired az clerk in a general
store at New Britain, Conn. Boy fashion,
he was very proud Of the 500 he mad to
invest, and he expected that his employer
would allow him 10 buv an interest in the
business after few months. The months
PASSED. however. and the opportunity was
not offered Meantime. Darius was saving
his money unsparingly. A hutter in the
financial world developed almost into
financial panic in southern New England
ana among the small merchants who were
driven into hopeless bankruptcy was the

Darius bought the store and the business
at a sherir's sale paying almost the whole
bY1ee with his capital of 800 and the saw
iriss he had put away. The former owner
Of the store was glad TO get employment
as a clerk under him. and STAYED with him
in that capacity until his death, many
years later.
But that was the rule with Darius MI
ler's clerks. Although al twenty he had
already made himself the owner of an in
dependent business. he was not the sort 10
be spoiled by early prosperity. When ne
was asked the other day what Was this rule
of sascess, as ne had found from expe.

A MAGISTRATES VIEWS.

Magistrate Thomas ". Butts believes
that the new Court Of Domestic Relations
will bring about a much needed enlarge
ment OF jurisdiction over points at issue
between disputing couples
The object of this new court As con-
st.tuted," says Magistrate Butts. is 20
settle disputes between husbands and
wives. Such disputes, however. must be
based on a legal cause for complaint. and
therein will come. I imagine, the enlarge
rnent Of it's powers at a later tate. What
is needed is authority vested in the court
to reach men whose conduct approaches
the line OF criminal transgression. but does
not step over IL. Z refer to such men az
will permit their wives TO become janitcrs
Of buildings or 20 do manual labor 20
support them in idleness- These men scoId
and abuse their wives without resorting 20
physical violence and thereby escape ths
hand or the Law. If the court we're en-
powered 10 reach such men their family
dfscords could be checked IN the first in
stance and subsequent divorce suits
avoided.
Il believe that this court Is step IN
the right direction and I am confident that
after its workings become understood ne
LEGISLATURE will appreciate The benefits 10
be derived by enlarging its powers
