SHOW TO BE HAPPY"

1t is painful to note the recent
suicide of a writer on happiness.
Though he told others "How to Be
Happy" he failed to be SO himself
and hurried away.
If the disappointed man had been
able to take a calmer view OF his
case, arsenic might have been I'M
necessary. He was really teach
er and no teacher is under obliga-
ton to show, in his own career, the
full fruition of his own doctrines.
We do not expect the stratcgists OF
West Point to win battles for us IN
person nor the heads of commercial
colleges to become millionaires.
Their function is merely to show
the way to others.
A guide-post is OF service only
while it remains in its proper place.
A guide-post that pulled itself up
by the roots and went racing along
the highway would be detrinent.
even danger. The man who tells
lis how to get on in the world
must not expect to get Oh very tar
himself. The man who points out
to the multitude the way to sue
cess should be satisfied if, at the
windup, he shall have succeeded in
making both ends meet. The man
who specializes in happiness for
the behoof of others tempts Provi-
dence still more boldly; he is lucky
if he avoids absolute calamity. The
author of How to Be Happy
could not do so.-Chicago Record

RULES FOR LONGEVITY.

Josiah Zcitlin, said to have been
Brooklyn's oldest citizen, is dead at
the age of 106 years. He was a
child in Moscow when the Russians
burned that city at the advance of
Napoleon, and when the United
States and England we're engaged in
their second conflict.
He was born in 1904 in LODI,
Poland. He retired from business
in Moscow 80 years ago and came to
this country soon after. He leaves
three sons, the Oldest of whom is
sevcnty-six years old, and Is grand
children.
His rules for longevity were:
''Don't worry. Never be in hur-
~. Don't eat what YOU call quick
lunches. Take but little meat, es-
pecially in early life. Sleep eight
hours day. Never fool with doc
tors. and don't 60 into drug store
except to get a stamp or to consult
the directory. When you reach the
age of ninety years YOU may dc
about as you please. New York

IRlSH.AMERlCANS.

The late census reveals the fact
that there are more than one-tllird
as many lrisll-born people living in
this country than there is in Ire
land. The census returns show
of our total population approxi-
mately 100000 are Irish born.
The population of Ireland at the
present time does not exceed A.
100000. 1t has steadily decreased
during the last sixty years.
This Irish blood is a strain that
has contributed greatly to the
growth, development and recog-
nized Importance of this country.
We have had great Irish states
men, great soldiers, great orators
and scholars. We find them in
every calling, profession and trade.
They are not as a class great agri-
culturists but they certainly do
their part to increase the popula-
ton of the cities. They take to
politics like duck does to water.
And say, "whin We want an alder
mon from the third ward thin
booys are thayre with the guuds. "
The advisability of securing
good, clean seed grain to SOW for
the first time in this new country
cannot be mentioned too often Or
made too emphatically. In the
eastern part of the state a great
many farms are so foul with mus
.ard seed and wild oats that no re-
lief can be secured except by sum-
mer following followed by a well
cultivated crop Of corn. With the
exercise of great care at the begin
ming this country can be kept sc
near free from noXious weeds that
it will be no great task 10 &C
through the fields at the proper
time and remove what little nox-
ious growth there may be by pull
ling. A few cents paid for clear
seed to begin with will prove {
great saving in the end.

THE FOOTBALL SEASON.

The de game between Harvard and
Yale yesterday was, like so many other
games this season, unsatisfactory. 1t
is evident that the changes in the
rules providing for Il more open game
have given the defence preponderat-
Ing advantage over the offence and
made scoring depend very largely on
happy accidents. Team play and con-
certed skill no longer count as they used
to do. and too great premium has been
put on scoring as the result Of haphaz-
ard passes and untimely fumbles. In
the games between Harvard, Yale and
Princeton only one touchdown was
earned-that made by Harvard. Prince
ton defeated both Harvard and Yale by
individual plays.
Too great a handicap is put upon the
attack by the present 10-yard gain re-
quirement. If the gain on three downs
were TO he reduced to : yards a much
better balance would he struck between
offence and defence and power of attack
would again become the deciding ele
ment. It has not been the crucial fac
1 tor this year, since Princeton wor
against both Harvard and Yale. al
though having no attack worth men
tioning In the interest of better bal
anCed game rules making the old fash
ioned score from an earned touchdown
easier are plainly needed.

GOVERNMENT PAY AND PENSIONS.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: AS one Of the employees OF the reo-
eral government, allow me to add TO your
great editorial civil Pensions" Of NO
vember 81. 1911. That civil pensions Tor
government employees are not only an equi-
table but a necessary thing is proved oy
the fact that the more energetic young
employees do not stay in the service very
long. but come into 1t only until they see
their way clear TO a more prohtaole en-
gagement with private mercantile house
Primarily the employe gets meagre sal
ary of from 500 TO 1920 yearly. and must
in the majority OF cases support with TINS
income a numerous family. When an IN
telligent and ambitious young man In the
employment Of Uncle SAM sees that con-
slant struggle awaits him, and that MS
only expectancy is a beggarly maximum OF
81 200 a year and the home of some char-
table institution for his declining days, we
surely cannot but commend his sagacity
in leaving the service as soon as ne gets
an opportunity. II. however. the govern
ment would provide living wages tor lts
employees and protection for them atter
they have served faithfully for period OF
years, It would not only retain the best
element in it's employ. but would encourage
the young employees to look upon the service
as medical or legal men look upon their
profession, and to give their enure tiiho
and efforts for the benefit Of the service

In connection with the news of the Cabi-

Recently several proposals have been
made 10 Colombia by London banking
houses looking TO the conversion Of the
Colombian paper money and the placing Of
the currency on a gold basis Similar pro-
posas also have been received from
American financiers, but public opinion in
Colombia is opposed even TO considering
the latter until the controversy over Pan
anna shall have been settled. or at least
tin the American government shall have
sgnified its willingness TO submit the mat
ters I'm dispute 70 arbitration.
Both the first and second Vice Presi-
dents. Suarez and Gonzalez Valencia are
members Of the new Cabinet. which is con-
sidered one of the strongest and most
thoroughly representative that Colombia

formation which the last score Of years
or less has seen I'm the relations between
Eastern and Western powers He was
also a notable exponent of the rise Of
Western and particularly American in
