There are worse things that can
happens to mans teeth than the ac-
tual loss of them-when they get
out of work.
Joe Cannon says the worst feature
of the direct election of senators by
the people is that it puts congress at
the mercy of the people, Well, it is
time the change was made. for it has
been the other way entirely too long
1t may be Bryan again, for you can
never tell what the Democrats will
do, either next or subsequently,
Spring is badly sprung.
1t kind o. jars sentiment, but still
a pretty girls complexion and good
looks are due to a good stomach and
digestive works.

The Rapids of Hodzu

From the Wide World Magazine.
 The rapids on the Hodzu river near Kvota must fill even the most blase of tourists with excitement. A train from Kyoto climbs slowly and painfully up- wards, tunnelling it's way through the hills and screaming defiance to the river far below it. until finally it deposits it's passengers at quaint little siding. From here one goes to the river bank and ,em- barks in a rude. flat-bottomed boat, which is pushed out by four men into the mid dle of a broad river, reed edged and sleepy. For a few minutes one glides dreamily along; then, rounding curve, one suddenly hears the roar of water and the boat tears down a rapid, just missing the rocks on each side The high banks race past, death appears imminent, and then. with one mad swirl, 1t is all over and the boat Is on the quiet, unruffled stream once more. This happens again and again for nearly an hour. At first one's whole mind is filled with the convic- tion that an accident must happen. but gradually comes a delicious feeling of safety as one notes the marvellous skill these men show in piloting the boat through the seething rapids, and one is able to appreciate the beauty of the scene the high wooden banks, the Towering trees. the rafts and raftsmen that one passes. Sometimes one sees boat being towed against the stream. but for the greater part of the way the only noises

A Senate Without a Boss

Eo, inc first time since the civil war
 the United States has no real boss, writes
 Robert Wickliffe Woolley in Success Mag
 azine. Jacob H. GalIinger of New Hamp-
 shire. may imagine himself such because
 he is chairman of the republican caucus,
 or Roies Penrose of Pennsylvania may
 claim the title as an appanage or the chairmanship of the great committee oh finance but the fact Is that the real say so is vested in neither the regular repup- licans nor the regular democrats. A se- lect but potent minority composed of the progressives in both parties wields the scepter, and all titles which have hereto
 fore been indicative of power are now little more than mere matters of form.
 This does not necessarily mean that the
 people rule in what we are fond of calling
 the greatest deliberatve body in the
 world; but it does mean that they are get
 ting foothold where for years their rights. and demands were scoffed at, and
 that a new order of things is at hand.
 There came Into being in 1861 Senate oligarchy which was self-perpetuating down to March last. The interests of the favored few of the great corporations were looked after practically to the ex- clusion of those of the masses of our peo- ple We of this generation have habit of referrlng 10 NelsOn w. Aiuilcl dS tnt Representative and advocate of the chosen few As a matter of fact he was only the successor of a number of distn- guished statesmen, such as Morrill,, Sher-
 man and Blaine, who honestly did not know what it was to experience a heart throb for the masses Aldrich probably had as remarkable career as any man who ever entered the United States Senate. Not in the least the orator that Clay, Webster or Calhoun was, nor yet so bril- liant as was Blaine or Sumner, he was
 business statesman who accomplished more in the way of getting legislation for
 which he fought than any man in the his
 tory of this government His passing,
 therefore, is worthy of more than ordina- ry note and, because of his consistent de-
 votion to special privilege, should be hailed with thanksgiving by those who
 sincerely believe in fair play and the rule
 of the people.

Lucky Boy Spectators
From the Strand Ma gazlne.

From the Strand Magazine.
 The sight of the curb market reminds one of small-szed though fiercely agi- tated riot. However, with all their ex- cited and wild gesticuatlons. gyrations, and bowling, for all the world like pack of beasts, thefe Is method in their mad ness.
 The curb has brought forth an army of boy spectators many of them street ur- chins, in this case literally being lifted out of the gutter on to the curb There is something in the atmosphere of Wall street that stirs the gambling spirit in the young blood. Thousands of small boys are playing the market" and having the time of their young lives juggling stocks in Wall street, and their trading is all most altogether on the curb. Most of these young gamblers in stocks are em- ployed in brokerage and banking houses in the financial district and the usual run of boy speculators take their gains or losses quite as philosophically as the most hardened veterans of "the street"
 Only few years ago an office boy in large stock exchange house made enough money playing the market to buy a seat on the exchange He has since dropped out of Wall street, and no one ir the financial district seems to know what has become of him. His seat was sold q couple of years ago His name was Danie s. Peters.
 The story of Dennis Fogarty is now one of the traditions of the street" Den his used to be stock runner for John w Gates Passing up and down Broad street he finally began to take "fliers" on tn, curb with the ten-dollar notes that repre- sented his occasional accumulations When he became IS years old he threw ur his job and took his place as full-fedget speculator on the curb market Lucl was with him. What is more, it stuck by

Is Mankind Advancing?

From Current Literature.
 In book that is hailed by Mayor Gaynor, of New York, as "masterly, and by Frederic Harrison, the English positivst, as "original and fascinating 2. D Mrs John Martin administers a stiff re- buke to the pride and self lf-confdence of our age. She feels, and she argues with great skill, that humanity is not ad- vancing if any real sense. "The world today," she remarks, "is convinced that it is making rapid progress. Tn western Europe and in America increased wealth production, democratic institutions, free education, free thought, the opening of opportunities in new countries, the ac celeration of travel and communication, have combined to produce upon our generation an exhilarating sense of ex- pansion, of Liberation, of growing DOW err. But this impression, 1t seems, Ifs an Illusion. We have not really pro- gressed." Mrs. Martin likens modern civilization to a runaway locomotive going at tremendous speed on a wrong track. We have lost our way" she says, and adds: Man may have risen from the ape; also the ape may be a degenerate man. Men are headed ape ward quite as frequenttly as angel ward. Time runs an elevator which goes both ways, down as well as up.'
 What Is progress? Asks Mrs. Martin at the outset of her argument. She re plies: The word progress should, I believe, be exclusively reserved to ex- press rise in human capacity, the de- velopment of higher orders of human beings Thus restricted, it remains, as it should, a strictly qualitive, never a quantitive, term. Improved conditions condluce to progress, and are necessary to progress. but may exist without pro- ducing progress. Progress is somethi in z more than Improvement. Progress means movement forward

hm-one needs large quantities of luck on the curbi He got hold of some western ming stocks when they were cheap, and sold them after they had jumped several points, making a few thousand dollars In about three months. The curb then be- came too slow for this lightning boy op- orator, and he began to take fall now and then out of listed securities. With luck still smiling on him, he made moro money When Steel Common was down about 15, Dennis bought heavily of it. It soon started up, and kept on going up and up. When it had reached fairly high point, Dennis became 21, and he wisely celebrated his majority by selling out.

 An American archeologist with a great enthusiasm for the period of the Caesars was wandering about the Roman Forum one morning, when a woman poked her head over the wall
 "Heyi' she said, in the familiar accent of western New York. What place is this?"
 This is the ruins of the Forum" re- sponded the archeologist. ] And what might that be?' she asked Amused, but glad of a chance to induct fresh mind into his hobby, the archeol- | ogist explained. He waxed eloquent; he began at it's foundation; he pictured the pageant after pageant of history, the successive armies and races that made that spot memorable. Finally he ran i down for want of breath
 'My!' she said. Quite historic spot. isn't it?"

 At the bottom of these rapids is pie turesque little village, which when we were there was very much en fete. IL was the end of the cherry season, an ex- cellent excuse for holiday and love-mak- ing, so seats and tables were placed along the roads under the cool shade of lofty cryptomerias, and people in gala costume were drinking tea and laughing and jest ing happily. The center of the road was thronged with school children singing patriotic songs, chattering, carrying great banners and sprigs of cherry blossom, the boys in their belted, skirt-like uniform and German caps. the girls in their dis tinctive purple and red dresses
