The Men Who Toll.
Knoxville Journal and Tribune.

From the Knoxville Journal and Tribune
When it was said of man that he should
earn his bread by the sweat of his face
it was not d curse pronounced against
him. AS between the man who works and
the one who does not the former is the
happier The friend Of man who bids
him God-speed as he goes to his daily
task is his real friend. The man who
stands up and bemoans the fact that man
must work is not the friend of mankind.
The do-nothing man may take pleasure
in the fact that he has inherited from
his father enough of this worlds SUBJ
stance that he doesn't have to work for
his living; but he isn't half SO happy as
the man who has by hard licks. persever-
ance and economy come into possessions
that render him and his comfortable
The men who are moving the car of
progress in the world and who are ad-
vancing the cause of civilization are the
men who toll with their hands and their
heads and do things that render them of
some account in the world and in the
community in which they make their
homes

THE TONIC OF VICTORY.
Army Surgeons Say It Acts Almost
as an Anesthetic.

From the New York Medical Journal.
Bonnette, a French army surgeon at
tached to the seth Artillery, writes of the
extraordinary indifference to the pain of
operation manifested by the soldiers OF
Napoleon while the great conqueror was
sweeping VIGOROUSLY over Europe. While
the defeated soldier is full OF imaginary
terrors, subject to panic, madness and
treason, the conqueror, on the other hand,
is intoxicated with success. says the New
York Medical Journal. Nothing, not even
the morbific microbe, can resist troops
who believe themselves to be invincible.
Victory Is the most powerful Of re-
storatives and the deepest Of anesthetics.

Stratford-on-Avon Popular.
From the Boston Advertiser.

FROM the Boston Advertiser.
Sidney Lee, chairman OF the board Of
trustees in whom Is vested title to
Shakespeare's birthplace, comments upon
striking increase in popular interest. In
a public statement he lately noted that
thirty years ago 1900 to 1900 visitors
annually were the utmost hoped for. In
1888 their predecessors thought they were
rich beyond the dreams of avarice when
the receipts amounted to G7OO. Today the
visitors number almost $1,000, and their
fees totaled 22,5OO. The trustees never
were in better financial position than at
present Space had hitherto been lacking
for an improved classification and distri-
button Of their exhibits. They were about
to provide In the reconstructed custodian
cottage not only a storehouse for rejected
exhibits, but a strongroom for deeds and
manuscripts, and library and WORKING
room for students, whom, with due pre-
caution, they wished to encourage to in
spect their books and papers. The trus-
tees had already approved plans for
greatly enlarging the portions Of the New
Place premises devoted to public uses,
and in due time they hoped to set up
there museum which should be instruc-
tive in local history, while satisfying those
conditions of Shakespearean interest
which their act imposed on them.

DUST RAGS AND OTHERS.
Things That Once All Housewives
Made and Nowadays Many Buy.
From the New York Sun.

-''-''
when I was a girl said the house
wife. we were certainly more economical
than we are now Whether from custom
or because we had to be. we were saving
of everything; we never threw away any
thing that could be put to any use, and
we put various things to various uses and
then kept on using them until they were
completely worn out.
We got along with what we had. or
made what We had do: for very many
special uses we never bought anything il
we could help it; We turned something
that we had in the house to that use.
Take, for instance, the various kinds of
rags and cloths used every day in every
home; dust rags wash rags and so on
I'VE used to make all such things from
WORKOUT things or remnants. In those
days everybody wore white stockings
WORKOUT stockings made excellent wash
cloths and were used as such. Worn out
towels, old clothes of various sorts. and
remnants of things we had made up our
selves. all sorts of things. were utilized
for all these various household rag and
cloth purposes. For such uses we never
thought of buying anything.
But how different 1t all is now. Today
thousands and thousands of people buy
such things in the stores. Nowadays we
buy all made up and ready for use wash
cloths and dust cloths and dish cloths
and pot cloths and polishing clothS-all
SUI u VI CIOtIlS tndI ouCe we never bought,
but made up from things We had In the
house.
The change is to some extent due to
our changed ways of living. For one
thing, we don't begin to make so many
of our own clothes as we used to; we buy
many more things now made up, and so
we have at home fewer remnants and
odds and ends, but some of this change
is due also to our greater prosperity and
to our far greater extravaganza; all sorts
of people spend money now for things
that in old times they wouldn't have
dreamed of buying, that they would have
fixed up for themselves somehow or have
gone without: and then some of this
change is due to the inventors who are
all the time trying to think up things
that they think people would buy If they
saw them
but whatever the reason for these
things may be, certain 1t is that since my
girlhood days there have been many great
changes in housekeeping ways"

Thackeray's Mistakes.
From the London Chronicle.

Thackeray probably wrote the prettiest
and most legible hand Of any distinguish
ed author; a commentator on the MSS,
shown at the Thackeray exhibition de-
scribes 1t as being las free from reproach
as his English" But the master of the
easiest and most flexible style in Eng
fish fiction occasionally made careless
and irritating slips. He wrote different
to- which Is common and quite unac-
countable mistake. and compared to-
which is as bad. No one would think of
saying or writing compare this to that,
yet you find compared to- in print every
day in the week And he also fell into
the common error of making the sur
name plural instead Of the prefix-the
Miss Potters," for instance, in 1.-The
Newcomes," instead Of the Misses Pot
ter" Would anybody write the "Mr. Pot
ters"? Why should the ladies be so mis-
handled.

John Quincy Adams Career.

John Quincy Adams began his public
career very early. When he was eight
years old he sat with his mother on the
top of PENIS hill, listening to the mus
kerry and watching the smoke of the bat
tie of Bunker Hill. When he was nine
years old he frequently rode on horse
back eleven miles between Quincy and
Boston carrying communications between
his father and mother and the patriots
IN the latter town. When he was ten
years old he went with his father to
Paris, the latter having been appointed
minister to France. When he was four
teen he served a s private secretary to
Francis Dana. United States minister to
st. Petersburg: he was also private sec
rotary to Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin
Franklin during their foreign service. all
the time keeping up his studies, some
times with his father and sometimes with
a tutor, and when he was eighteen came
home to enter Harvard College.
Immediately after he graduated he was
sent as minister to The Hague. the
youngest man who ever held diplomatic
rank under our government. In 1877.
when he was only twenty years old and
the same year his father was elected to
the presidency, John Quincy Adams mar
rted Louisa Catherine Johnson, daughter
Of the American consul at London Short
ly afterward he returned to the United
States, and at twenty-five was elected

years as minister to England and as Sec

his presidential term he was returned to

An Old.Time Tale.

sweet, old-time tale Of a dear old Irish

after twenty years and replaced the old,
ramshackle buildings on the home farm
with modern, gorgeous palaces, all of
which he presented to his nature loving

An Indian Rule for Orators.
From the Y,ondon Globe

From the London GLOBE.
The untutored mind OF the Indian or the
savage often appears strange to us, but
there is sometimes reason in what at first
sight seems eccentric.
A South African tribe has an effectual
method of dealing with bores which might
be adopted by western peoples. This SIM
pie tribe considers long speeches injurious
both to the orator and his hearers, so to
protect both there is an unwritten law
that every public orator must stand on
one leg only when he Is addressing an
audience. AS soon as he has to place the

House Of Golden Weddings.

When John Quincy Adams returned te
Quincy to live he bought, with his wife's
money, one of the finest residences ir
the city, which had been built by Leon
ard Vassall. violent and virulent tory
who had made large fortune in sugar
in the West India Islands Vassall built
the house in 1871, and it was then con
sidered a marvel Of architecture. One
room was paneled from floor to ceiling
in solid mahogany planks, which he .had
brought from Santo Domingo. At the
time of the revolution Vassall returned
to England, where he died. His con-
victions may be judged by provision OF
his will. which left his property to his
widow $50 long as she continued pro-
fessed member of the Episcopal Church
of England
John Quincy Adams secured the man
sion in 1855 and furnished it with the
elegance that his means and habits JUS
tilted. His father, John Adams, spent
the later years Of his life there, and ii
has remained in the family ever since
being now owned and occupied by Brooks
Adams, son Of Charles Francis Adams
son of John Quincy Adams. 1t Is some
times called the House of Golden Wed
dings," because three of its occupants
John, John Quincy and Charles Francis
Adams, have celebrated that anniversary
mansion similar to the typical English
manor house, and is surrounded by an
old-fashioned garden and shaded by
stately elms.
Charles Francis Adams was the third
son of John Quincy and the most famous
of the third generation of this famous
line. He was born in 1907. spent his
childhood in Europe during his fathers
diplomatic service, and was ten years
old when he was sent back to Quincy to
be educated under the care of his grand
mother. Abigail Adams. He graduated
at Harvard, studied law with Daniel
Webster, married Abigail Brooks, daugh-
ter Of wealthy Boston merchant; en-
tered the diplomatic service, in which he
distinguished himself, and was gathered
to his fathers November q, 1885. He
left four sons-John Quincy. Charles

was moderator of the town meeting for
more than thirty years. Charles Francis

A Famous Pulpit Wit.

Parson Smith was a famous wit and
didn't hesitate to indulge his sense of
hufnor In the pulpit His eldest daughter,
Mary, married the most promising young
farmer in the community. and on the
Sunday following he preached a practi-
cal sermon on the blessings Of matrimony
from the text, And Mary hath chosen
the good part. which shall not be taken
from her" In those days lawyers were
not considered quite respectable Accord
ing to Puritan ideas the law practice was
an unsanctihed calling and interfered with
the growth Of grace in the community
by defending rascals by disregarding the
authority Of the clergy. There was much
regret and many misgivings among the
neighbors when young John Adams.
whose ability and integrity and his gen.
ial character were already recognized, de-
cided to be lawyer. and the Sunday
preached another matrimonial sermon
from the text: For John came neither
eating bread nor drinking wine; and We
say He hath a devil"
John and Abigail began housekeeping
in the second red frame house. which
is now the headquarters Of the Quincy
Historical Society. 1t was built for him
by his father Joseph Adams, who also
gave them forty acres of land. which
John Adams cultivated between law suits.
He soon became immersed in politics,
however, for those were trying times and
his convictions were very strong. He was
in the center of the revolutionary move
ment from the first and spent most of
his time away from home in patriotic
labors.
John Quincy Adams was born about
