When Benjamin Harrison was

Washington and throughout the en-
tire country. Russell Harrison is
man of more than ordinary ability
and of genial presents and he often
presumed upon the fact that his ia

Occasionally one of those unfortu-

by great name or big fortune
does manage to remain honored and
respectable, but not always. 1t is
safe TO say that for every reputable
one whose father has stood head and
shoulders above his fellows in war,
commerce or Society, dozen disrep-
utable sons of like men can be
named. Is there one among you
who can say that General Grant is
a reincarnation of the Great U. s..

Lincoln is duplicate of that grand,
lean figure that lowered above all
others during the dark days of this

The Passing Show.

By B.. D.

Paper Read Before the Cha,stauq1a Circle:
The sages of all ages have prac-
tically concluded that life is but
passing show. The first actors were
Adam and Eve. No trials, woes
and tribulations beset their entrance
into Paradise as the heroine and he
70 of today must experience. Had
they retained their equilibrium none
of the Eden Hill romance would be
known to us. We might have es-
capped all human ills and they the
experience of such notables as Jack
and Gill. Alas! as Maud Muller
chirped: 1t might have been'-no
passing show here below. However,
as matters stand, the world is a
stage, the people, actors ALL
A rolling stone gathers no MOSS"
Father Time gazed at the actors of
life's drama, passing along the circuit,
growing smoother and smoother.
They finally became SO smooth that
they erected large, high tower up
op the plains near the smooth flow
ing Euphrates river. The great
company evidently desired to enter
the heavenly realm to entertain and
mingle with the angels. Objections,
which were ignored by the actors,
were cited. The presiding official
of Eternity raped the gavel repeat
eddy. After futile efforts to restore
order the famous proclamation, re-
corded as the Confusion Of Tongues,
was issued. The actors became
stranded and all the birds of fea-
Their focked together, to drift hither
and thither upon the worldly stage.
Histories of ancient times, of the
Middle Ages and of the past few
centuries narrate the progress of the
Great Show. Scenes and scenery
shifted with each succeeding age of
players. The acts that were played
upon the worldly stage confirmed
the conclusion of philosophers that
life is but passing show.
Through the universal press we
are enabled to follow the daily trend
of human events. Among the world
actors of today leading features Of
the Passing Show may be directed
to the attention of men. Knowl
edge, Education. universal peace
good will to all men, humanitarian
ism, civilization, Christianity, NOR
atty, purity, right, truth, honesty
law, iustice-these are few of tn
leading features on life's program
today.

would give her shelter for one single
night.
No need for me to mention the
Thaw family. You all know Of
Harry Thaw's doings during the last
few years, and ten years from now
that once wealthy family will be
forgotten, all on account of their
son. The disgraceful actions of the
sons of the Pullmans are hardly for
getten. There are perhaps some of
you who know more about their do
ings then /. Thomas Edison de-
clared once that his son was inca
pable of doing anything and certainly
could not have evolved an invention
which was credited to him. Mark
Hanna was great man and great
politician. Itwas through his efforts
that the late McKinly was elected
president of the United States. He
was chairman of the Republican
party and the boss in the state of
Ohio. And what is his son? He has
not even brains enough to save those
few dollars his father left him when
he died. He spends every sou he
can get hold of on actresses. He
follows them all over the world.
He married one in Europe, but was
not able to support her and she left
him. Senator George Hoar was for
years one of the most commanding
fixtures among the Republican party;
man of good, common sense; a man
who was well thought of re-
CARELESS of party. But the chief
grief of Mr.. Hoar's life was due to
the fact that his son had nothing in
common with him, and the great
name Of Senator Hoar is long since
| forgotten.
James G. Blaine, a great states
man, who was Secretary of State in
Harrison's cabinet, and who the Re-
publican party nominated for presi-
dent against Grover Cleveland had
two sons, who undoubtedly would
have made good and made the name
of Blaine more famous, but it was
not to be, both of these young men
died the same year, one at the age
of twenty-four, and the other at
twenty-six. James G. Blaine never
recovered from the shock, and died
of broken heart. What about the
Gould family? There's only one
name worthy to be mentioned, and
that is Helen Miller Gould, the
friend of all the sailor boys, and the
only daughter of a rich family who
will be remembered long after her
/ death.
/ Grover Cleveland, one of the great.
est statesmen the Democratic party
ever had in the White House as
President, a name that will be re-
membered long after all others are
forgotten, left one son, but as he is
a young boy of about fifteen years of
age, nothing can be said about him,
: and future years will show if he fol-
} lows in the footsteps of his father.
Mr.. Roosevelt, the terror to the
! Democratic party, has made name
for himself, at least he is good
talker and great hunter and not
| afraid of either man or devil, has
! two sons, of whom nothing can be
!: said yet, but all indications show

back again will cease to be tolerated
by Purity's standard; the clink of
glasses containing sparkling wine at
banquet boards will soon be but a
vague remembrance even at the
Waldorf such songs as the
one that made Milwaukee famous
are doomed to cease inspiring poets,
politicians and common people. The
woman, the wine, tho song, the Man
with the Hoe, what all we do not
know-but all will be duly placed
in pure, moral atmosphere. The
successes of the Nation at Packing
town assure us that success with
these great marvellous attractions are
but matter of few thousand
years.
All actors pride themselves upon
the fact that civilization is success
full feature of the day. Prevalent
ideas are perhaps correct, but mod
ern practices seem far from civiliza-
TONS ideals. To what degree this
feature is farcial can easily be dis
cerned by following the trend of
events depicted by the press.
A wise actor once upon time
stood upon life's stage, cast his OPP
tics about him and said: Honesty
is the best policy" 1t may have
been forefather of Uncle Joe, John
D., or Scotland Andy who overheard
this utterance. Anyway it w IS
adopted and in due time became a
feature of the passing show. In this
ara of watnrnd stock fnatinr bonds,
false weights, salt mines, and general
taxing, when Diogenes' lantern is
useless, the feature of honesty is
played in particular by babes still
under the care of the hand that rules
the world.
Law was introduced into Lies
Drama by noted parsonage named
Justice. She has been running after
the law for a long time and SO fas-
cinating has the courtship become
that special tabernacles have been
placed upon the stage wherein they
may appear at court six days Of ev-
ery week. Several Of the King and
Queen families made up their minds
one day that by getting law to pro-
tect them they could do as they
pleased. Thus it came about tina
law exclaimed: THE King can d.
no wrong" But as long as Justice
watched, this idea was very un
founded. However, Justice had ,
bandage placed over her eyes. Mat
ters became SO unjust that resolut'
band of actors formed a committee
to elevate the standard of fairnes
upon the stage, the result being act
called Bill of Rights, Magma Chart
and Tea Party at Boston, a few
Revolutions and some Civil Wars
However, after all that talking, war
ring and arguing, the bandage still
reposes over the eyes of Justice
