HARD ON MISSIONARIES

Prof. Frederick W. Williams,

according to the New York Sun.
To their tact essne!s he imputes
the samll number of Chinese con.

"Jim Driscoll, a farm boy, got a

gave him a foot rule one day, and
said:

LEE AND THE CONFEDERACY

The great gene rails of history
have almost invaria bly, had free
hand in their campaigns and have
been able to coll to their aid all
the powers of their government
Alexander, Caesar, Hannibal,
Cromwell, Frederick, Napoleon,
were supreme wherever the
interests Of their army were con-
cerned. Turcnnc, Eugene, and
Welt ngton had the fullest and
most absolute backing of their
governments. Moreover, they
lived under different conditions
from those IF our time and SUBJ
sisted their armies OH the countries
in which they operated. Until
Grant received Command the Union
generals were continually inter-
fered with by the Washington
government, and it was only when
Grant stipulated that he should be
commander in fact as we'll as in
title that su ccess, after long delay,
rewarded the Northern arms.
On the Southern side, though
the interference was never so
fragrant, and though Lee appears
to have always had the cunfd ence
OF President Davis, and, from tn.
time when he assumed command
Of the army Of northern Virginia,
to have had that of the Confedcr-
ate government; yet it Is ques-
tion whet her the interference, or,
what was equally disastrous, the
lack of prompt, practical, and
efficient supp' TT on tn part of the
government, was not in the emu
as fruitful Of misfortune.
1t may, indeed, be said briefly
tina, confederated government
based frankly on the supreme
power of the civil Z ,vernment over

revolution can be fought out
with best results In the constitu.
ton of things the Confederate
government Of the Southern states
was inefficient to carry on such a
war as that between the states.
Each state was of equal dignity
and authority with the others.
Each one was of more Importance,
in its own eyes, than any Of her
sisters. Most of them we're ut

LOEG ARM GETS
pAssER OF BILL

Inc rcn1rkablc adventures of
raised" $40 bill were made a
matter of official record yesterday
after Peter G. Drautzhurg, a secret
service operative, had caused the
arrest Of Frank Cererch, q saloon
keeper, 1886 Noble street who is
accused of having first uttered il.
In order to be able to place his
hands on Cererch's shoulder and
say 81 want you," Drautzburg had
to pursue the bill through the
following meanderings:
On Oct. 8, CcreIch gave the
hill to Walter Cobus, 1920 Dickson
street, a driver for the Union
Liberty Furniture company.
Cobus gave it to Elizabeth
Jacobson, cashier of the furniture
company.
Miss jacobson gave it to Paul
Abed, teller at the Kraus Savings
bank, l34l Milwaukee avenue.
Abed returned it to Miss Jacob
son.
Miss jacobson returned it to
Cobus.
Cobus left the hill on table at
his boarding house.
Steve Lewandowski, another
boardcr, exchanged it for drinks
at the saloon of Peter Peyars, 400
Dickson street.
Peyar gave the bill to his wife.
Peyar's wife used II to buy meat
at the store Of Joseph Koreshasek,
1859 Dickson street.
Korcshasek deposited it in the
North western Trust & Savings
bank.
The bank detected the counter
felt and returned the bill to Korcs-
hasck.
Korcshasck returned it to Mrs.
Peyars.
Mrs. Pcyars gave it back to her
husband.
Peyars returned it to Lew and
owski.
Lewandowski returned it to
Cobus.
CObus took it back to Cerervh,
who gave him good muney for it.
Cererch then passed the bill on
Frank Mega. l7l5 Hermitage
avenue. 90
Mega gave it to his employers,
the Northwestern Brewing COM
pany.
The Brewing company declared
the bill bad and returned it TO
Mega. g.
Mega returned it to Cert oh.
The Brewing company notified
the government.
Drautzburg called on Cererch,
and when he learned that the
saloon keeper h d given the bill
to a customer he arrested him.

AN ENVIABLE BIRTHRIGHT.

One of the greatest boons that
ever can come to a human being
is to be born on a farm and
reared in the country. says Orison
sweet Marden in Success Mag
azine." Self-reliance and grit
are oftenest country-bred. The
country boy is constantly thrown
upon his own resources, forced to
think for himself, and this calls
out his ingenuity and inventive
ness. He develops better all
round Judgment and a more level
muscles are harder. his flesh firm
er. and his bra n-fiber partakes
Of the superior quality.
The very granite hills, the
mountains, the valleys. the brooks,
the miracle of the growing crops
are every moment registering
their mighty potencies in his con
stitution, putting iron into his
blood and stamina into his char
acter, all of which will help to
make him a giant when he comes
to complete with the city-bred
youth.

CITIZENSHIP.

In the ancient days to be Il
Roman citizen was the prpudest
distinction man could claim.
He could demand protection for
his personal rights and hio clti-
zenship compelled obedience to
that command. TO be IA Roman
citizen was greater than t. be a
King.
In these modern days it should
be the pride of every mqn +" say
81 am an American citizen"
There are those who become
citizens for personal pg2ft with
out the slightest regard for the
land they live in except what
they can extract from it. Pride
of country would not induce them
to shoulder a musket in defense
Of it, and this applies to native
born citizGns as well as others.
Here is an Instance: A veal
thy citizen from neighboring
town applied to the court here for
citizenship. lie proudly admitted
that his only object in becoming
"A citizen was that he might vote
for parish division. He has
amassed wealth in this country
but it has seemingly never oc-
cured to hsn that he owed some
thing to the land of his adoption.
a land that has conferred so many
benefits upon him. BY remain
ing an alien he escapes certain
duties commanded by the state,
such as serving on juries and 9th
er matters of privilege which his
neighbors are compelled to OBJ
serve. He reaps all the benefits
possible but escapes responsible
ties which are imposed upon 9TH
ers. He never stops to question
the injustice of his actions be-
cause perhaps he does not con-
slider it from that viewpoint.
In touching upon this question
of citizenship the gentleman men
toned IS not singled out as a Pc
culiar instance. As far as The
Times knows he is estimable in
every way; a man Of wealth and
influence, as well as possessing
the esteem Of all who know him,
and If was these considerations
that Induced th2i reference to
citizenship. His ease is that of
many others but as his home is
close by the illustration becomes
more striking.
To moralize moment: Citi-
zenship is not valued as it should
be by those who possess it. 1t is
vastly more than convenience to
serve some selfish end and nat

EVERYBODY'S GAIN

An extended parcel post means
easier and cheaper transmission
of commodities. The more easily
and cheaply commodities can be
exchanged. the better it is for us,
says Bannistcr Merwin in "Suc-
cess Magazine" all other things
considered. An extended pare ell
post bears tha same relationship
to a crampei and limited parcci
post that good roads bear to bad
roads.
If You. the farmer, can send
your dairy products, in small
quantities. to the city by mail
more cheaplv than and just as
quickly as you now send them by
express, you are better off.
If you, the merchant in a small
town, can order supplies in small
quantities and get them cheaply
as well as quickly, you are better
off. You can keep abreast of
the trade better than you ever
could before.
If you, who live and work in
places so rembte from satisfac-
ory markets that you can not
fully develop the resources OF
a cheap, uniform parcel-post rate
that will enable you to send prod
ucts profitahly TO aly part of
the country, you will be better off.
If you. the express companies,
the jobbers Of the transportation
business are driven out of ex-
istence by a cheap parcel post,
the country will be better off.
Finally, if you, the average cit
iHen, who desire postal service
that means your full convenience,
can secure an extended parcel
post, you will be better off.
