Old Vanderbilt RuleDiscarded

keep one after it has been made.
There was one persistent friend,
and a good one, too, who was con-
stantly asking the commodore for gen.
eral advice respecting the investment
of money. Even that the commodore
did not like much to give; but at last
he said to the tempter: I will give
will call upon me in the course of a
day or two, and l hope you will heed
it after l have given it to you
"Of course, the man was greatly
pleased to think that he had at last
broken down the commodore's reserve
that he was finally to be taken into
the confidence of an expert in finan-
cial investment You may be sure he
was in the seventh heaven of delight
during the interim, and with shining
expectancy he appeared before the
commodore at the appointed time.
"'You want to know my advice
about investing money, do your the
commodore drawled. Well, sonny, |
will give it to you in a few words, and
I hope you will heed it. In the first
place, never buy anything that can't
sell right off and with a fair chance
Of selling at profit. And in the sec
ond place, never invest your money in
real estate, because you can't tell
whether you can sell right off or not
That's the best advice l can give you,
and wonder if you'll follow it?'
1T was advice that the commodore's
sons and his grandsons followed re-
ligiously," continued Senator Depew.
Indeed, the Vanderbilt family, up to
and including the third generation,
never bought real estate for invest
ment." And the senator might have
added that today this Vanderbilt rule
is being strikingly broken in New
York by Alfred, of the fourth genera
ton, who is investing several millions
of dollars in hotel enterprise.

The French Father.

The father, in France, is the recog-
nized head of the family. In him is
vested the clan tradition of authority.
The law is his right arm, as custom
has also handed to him the sceptar
of rulership. In many cases French
law is tyrannical; how stringent, how
oftentimes vigorously unjust are the
workings Of marriage laws in France!
A French son or daughter, though
grown to the mature age of five and
twenty, forfeits all rights to the con-
tinuance of maintenance by marrying
without the parents consent.-The

Hallowed by a supreme sanctity

So il was in the days Of the an.

the last war has been fought and
the battle.flags are forever furled.
Those who have offered them.
selves as a sacrifice for their flag
and their country, who have en-.
dured the hardships of camp and
march, or who have fallen in the
red carnage of battle, have a pc.
culiar claim upon the gratitude
and affection of succeeding gen.
erations.
In no land has this claim been
more freely recognized than in
our own; and no people was ever
before so generous in its tributes
to its fallen heroes, or in its treat.

A splendid sign Of the times is
the fact that the tariff and most
other political issues are now
recognized as matters Of business
policy without party prejudice.
This being the case, the subject Of
protection can be faced squarely
and studied carefully-and right
now we have the best opportunity
to watch the effect while congress
Is discussing II from all sides.
We hold that the farmer. as
we'll as the manufacturer, Is d.
rectly benefited by protection.
The average farmer pays probably

ought to favor a high tariff. Give

Here is what Walt Mason, a pop

Here is what Walt Mason, a pop
ular writer, has to say on the
subject of a hen with chickens: |
like to watch the old fool hen
that's tied beside my door; she
has of little chickens ten and
thinks she has three score; OF all
the blamed important things that
ever fused around. She thinks
she has the only chicks and so she
clucks and humps; all other chicks
are gold bricks, all other hens are
chumps. She sees a foe in every
friend and drives that friend
away; her feathers always are on
end, she's mad the livelong day.
And so I watch the old fool hen;
and still she seems to me, like
many chuckle. headed men, whom
every day see. This life to them's
not worth a cuss, no pleasure II
affords, because they fume and
fret and fuss about their little
boards. With bile and envy in
their souls, pursue their narrow
plan and ever guard their dirty
rolls and hate their fellow'man.

Already the threat Of free

Mo. He told me no would sell
his land at a sacrifice Of 20 to 30
per cent il the treaty passes.
The measure is being backed
by the railroads and the millers of
the Northwest. They will reap
the profits at the expense Of the
farmer. Already the Minnesota
millers are preparing to enlarge
their plants. Their flour has the
advantage in competition with the
winter wheat flour Of the states
farther south, and the winter
wheat miller will at once feel the
Increased competition. They can
sell flour cheaper than he can.
Assuming wheat declines 10
cents a bushel, the saving In cost
OF flour to the consumer will av.
erage three.fourth Of a cent a day
for every person in the United
States. This Is a mere bagatelle
compared with the loss which will
be suffered by the small farmer.
The man who sells 500 bushels OF
wheat a year will lose $50. In.
flict a loss like that on the farmer
and II will soon react on the pros.
perity OF the nation, and the con.
sumner will find that his saving Of
three.fourths Of a cent Is wiped
out by a decrease in wages or by
