Choice of Career-An English faith
er consulted friend as to what career
he ought to select for his son, boy
of 10.
The friend thought the matter over
for a bit and then advised the father
as follows:
Lock your boy in a room where
there is a Bible on the table, an apple
and some pieces of money. After
quarter of an hour open the door
noiselessly and see what the boy is
doing. If he is reading the Bible
make him a clergyman; If his atten-
tion is concentrated on the apple,
make him farmer, and If he is anus
ing himself by counting the money it's
plain that he is meant to be tinan-
cier."
The experiment was tried, and when
the friend inquired what the result
was the father replied:
II found him sitting on the Bible, ne
had pocketed the money and was eat
ing the apple"
Make him a member of parlia-
ment. then" was the advice of the
friend.-London Globe.

PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA.
Used to be Made BY caravan-Now
They Go BY Rail.

1t now is possible to go to the birth.
place of Mahomet by rail. The glory
has gone out of the one time diTicul
and trying pilgrimage to Medinah, snt
the especially designed turban of the
successful pilgrim will no longer be 6
sign of great devotion among the Mos.
lem tribes. For the Turk who wishes
to visit the city Of the prophet has
now but to bundle his harem, his ci.
garets, and his nargiles into a specia
car and go rumbling over the sal
plains and barren desert land into the
heart of the sacred city.
No more camel trains laboring fol
days and days in the scorching sun
No more danger from sandstorms ant
the lions of Arabia in the night en-.
campments. The only hardship the
pilgrim will now experience will be
the necessity of raising his voice tc
call the attendant when he Is desirous
Of ice water or raisin wine. For al
of this let good Moslems thank the
much despised former sultan, Abdu
Hamid II. 1t was he who proposed
the railroad to the almost inaccessible
city, and through his influence the
Turkish government financed the un.
dertaking and supplied the soldiers
who built 1t. Doubtless the old fellow
proposed riding to tie city himself one
day. ~
The road from Damascus can bs
reached from Jerusalem by a branch
line, and Jerusalem In turn Is accessi-
BILE from Jaffa, between which port
and Constantinople boats run regular.
ly. The same city can be reached by
boat from Alexandria and the Moslen
countries of North Africa.
AS the train leaves Damascus fol
the south it runs through a rich pla.
teau country planted with barley and
other grains, and then into the arid
land by the Dead sea. All the wind
ings Of the Jordan are paralleled, and
the historic Mount Moab Is visible er
route. Deserts are traversed further
south, and dignifled little groups Of
ruins are everywhere. The oasis
towns, where date trees and white
walls break the monotony Of the des-
ert. are used as stations, and in al
one has all the effect Of a caravan trir
in the wilderness without the neces.
sity Of riding a camel or Of drinking
warm water from sun scorched skins
and vessels.
The difficulty of building such a line
cannot be appreciated by any one but
a traveller who has crossed the vast
wastes where water never flows. The
army of laborers had all their water
hauled to them, and at best the sup
ply was limited. The rails of the road
are American, the engineer was Ger
man, the freight cars are Belgian, and
the money was Turkish.
When the work approached Medinah
the German engineer was apprised OF
the fact that he would have to turn
his office over to a Moslem, for not
even in such an eXigency was Chris
tian permitted to enter the town
Mecca is 200 miles south Of Medinah
and the plans for carrying the track
on into the sacred city itself are now
matured. So in a few years all the
dutiful sons of the prophet who have
the car fare will find it a simple mat
ter to kiss the Kaaba and worship in
the mosque that is the heart of Islam

Yorkville People Have Found That lil

Do you ever feel that you simply
can't go any further-that you must
have rest from that lame and aching
back-relief from the constant, dead
tired feeling-freedom from those
stabbing, darting pains? Likely your
kidneys are worn and tired and need
help. The kidneys work night and
day. removing uric acid from the
blood and other waste created by eX-
ercise of strength and energy. Natur-
ally a life of unusual activity doubles
the duties of the kidneys and in time

have brought new strength to thou

weakened kidneys. Let them do the
same for you. Convincing proof In

gether i'm a generous, frank, open un-
derstanding, so that we shall see the
remedies at the same time that we see
the circumstances, and who shall bring
this about more readily than the edi-
tors of the newspapers? What are you
doing with the news of the day? Are
you analyZing it? Are you penetrating

see it's index finger? Are you eluci-
dating it? Are you filling it with rea-
sonable suggestions and, above all
things. are you bringing the moral
from modern life TO your professional
classes?
There is a professional class, to
which l myself was trained, l mean
the legal profession, whose assistance
you require at every turn of this COM
plicated business. But we have first
got to use them, we need their aid,
and we first have got to show them
that they can give it to us.
The Lawyers Part.
Il remember some years ago ad-
dressing the Chamber of Commerce of
Cleveland, Ohio, when l was attempt

porate properties. | said, L know
| there must be many corporation law
yers here whose business it is to ad-
wise corporations, and l know without
consulting you, because / have heard
| it said in other parts of the country,
, hat you are very sharp criticisers OF
our recent legislation, and that you
are afraid that they will cause the ruin
of your clients business. Very we'll,
| said, suppose that the criticism is
just. Who is qualified to point out
where the mistakes have been made.
| and what ought to be done by your
selves? You know what the corpora
tions are doing. You know how close
! they are sailing to the wind. You
| know the things they are doing that
they ought not 10 do. So if you want
| to save your corporations from the
| day of Judgment which is waiting for
| them, come out in all frankness and
disclose your full knowledge TO our
| legislators and assist them 10 reme-
dy.' But said this and having been

IF you were taking up campaign
contributions and would receive a very
| large contribution from a business
concern and then some political ques-
ton were to come up that affected the
interest of that company, wouldn't you
feel that possibly you were under a
sort of tacit obligation to go slowly
in endangering the interests of that
company after you had taken their
money? | do not know whether you
| would or not but great many poll
ticians do and they do step very gin
gerly where they are dealing with the
interests of that company. For eX-
ample there are franchises to sell or
obtain, there is restrictive legislation
| to prevent. there is favorable legisla-
| ton to obtain, there are transactions
which may be promoted or called for,
there are preliminary tips which may
| be given out so that a man may know
what is going to happen so that he may
make his investments accordingly.
surely you are not so unobserVant
as not to know the ms and outs Of
politics. There was a time when all
that il was necessary to do i'm order
TO control politics was to make cam
paign contributions. and the reason the
Republican party could get greater
campaign contributions than the DEM
ocrats was that it had more to give,
not only because il was already under
the control of the national OrganiZa
tinn but because the central organiZa-
ton was the tariff organization, and
that il was by the efforts of the tariff
that half of the big businesses of this
country was being conducted, and it
was behind that great pillar of de-
fense they were formed. They could

REALLY A COLONEL.
Well-KnOWn Charlestonian Was Ad
vanced in Grade by COnfererate
Congress.

News and Courier.
Since the close of the War Between
the States Henry E. Young, Esq, one
of the best known lawyers Of this city,
has been known to his friends and to
the public as Major Young, the title
under which he served witch dlstlnc-
tion as a member of Gen. Robert 3.
Lees staff. That he has really been
entitled to be known as a colonel mas
lust become known. 1t appears that
lust before the close of the war all
the members Of Gen. Lees staff were
advanced one grade, by which the
Charlestonian was promoted to a
lieutenant colonelcy. The commits
sions we're not issued, owing to the
hurry and confusion al the close, but
the grade was confirmed by act of the
Conferedate congress and some OF the
members of tile staff drew their pay
at the advance. Col. Young did not
however, and in some way he was not
apprised of the promotion he had re
ceived, the fact having only recently
been brought to his attention by a
comrade who served with him under
Gen. Lee.
