 Oakes Ames died and the worms nawed his bones. The track of the rail- load was strengthened to shorten the oute and avoid a heavy grade, so that oday the massive rock pile built by bakes Ames stands 14 miles from the present. track.
 Alas for the pride of man!
 You may see the monument far away ln the rim of the horizon. In the tan lied wilderness the artificial heap of tones as seen through the tourists spy klass appears a mere speck-pathetic re- hinder of mans puny attempt to pro- ect himself into futurity.
 But Oakes Ames is remembered.
 He is remembered in another way-as In inventor and manufactures. He made | he Ames shovel. His "Ames No. 2, or |ailroad shovel, was built for getting irder the sides and ends of the railroad ies. His "tamper," made for tamping ballast, and other tools are used every |xhere in the railroad world. Seldom is the lone rock pile called to |:he attention of the traveller. Oakes Ames ! S best remembered by the men of today because he gave the world something useful.
 Not every man can build monuments ko himself with entablatures of brass and kraven words of eulogy. But he can be useful.
 He can open new road or make a farm or build a house or dig well or plant tree.
 He can train up a child for useful Hess.
 He can write or say or picture some lining that will help men to bear their burdens. He can fight the dragons of Satan away from the homes and haunts of men,. He can brighten lives made miserable bv the constant danger of misfortune. Is not that better than a pile of stones br shape of bronze?

 No chivalric man should permit him- kelf to feel or act other than as a gen kleman-if not son-toward the mother of the woman whom he has made his wife.
 What if you cannot precisely see all things from your mother-in-law's point of view or that you sometimes feel she may be indiscreet?
 Never mind.

liberated. As an echo of the Biblical mar rative almost all nations with whose rec ords we are familiar have had, an idea of terrestial Eden, which can be ac- counted for upon no other hypothesis than the universality of the belief in the He- brew story. It should be borne in mind that Eden was a tract of country, a part of which. and we may we'll suppose the most beautiful part was the gan, or garden of all delight, the paradise To have an intelligent conception we must distinguish between Eden and the gar den in Eden.
 It is said that from China to the Canary isles. from the mountains of the moon to the coasts of the Baltic no To- caity which in the slightest degree cor responds to the description of the first home of the human race has been left unexamined." Eden has been sought for all the way from Siberia to- the South Seu Islands.

 If your mother-in-law has little weak nesses your wife knows them better than you. And if you are manly and large hearted and ignore these defects the woman you have married will feel that you are big and fine, and in her heart she will worship you.

 mother it may be doubted whether you love your wife.
 Certain it is that if you continually criticise her mother in the presence of your wife the first thing you know you will lose the love and respect of your wife.
 And you ought to lose it.
 The shafts of censnre or of sarcasm you level at her mother go straight through the heart of the daughter She may not resent it openly, but she keen ly feels that a slight offered the mother is fling at the daughter.
 Moreover
 If you are too tactful for open criti- cism, yet at heart are jealous of your wife's family, you cannot entirely hide the feeling, and your wife will think less of you.
 What sort of woman would your wife be if when she married you she should turn her back on her family?
 Could you trust her?
 Are not the qualities in your wife which bind her to her mother the qualities that bind her loyalty to you?
 This is plain speaking.
 Is it not true?

SAME OLD PROPHECY AGAIN;
 EXPERT PICKS THE JOINTS
By WALTER MARCHAND

Well, the pennant races are all over but the shouting, and within week or two the national commission will probably be ready to announce the plans for the worlds chamlonship be- tween the New York Nationals and the Boston Americans
 That the contest between New York and Boston will be as closely contested as was that between New York and Philadelphia last year seems altogeth- CT probable So evenly are the teams matched in all departments of the game that the slightest good fortune In the way of condition or the break of the game is likely to determine the result
 If the Giants go at the speed which they have shown at times. l am in clined to believe they have the edge. on the other hand if they play fhe kind of ball they have shown at other times they will not have look in. This is regular Busby kind of q prophecr, but 1t is as near as 1t is safe to make.
 Much will depend on the pitching staff and here McGraw looks to have a shade the best of 1t. 1t is true that Wood is one of the very best curve artists in the country, as good if not better than anything McGraw can show. Bedient also is some pitcher. But Me- Graw has Mathewson, Marquard and Tesreau, all going good except Mar quard, who probably will be up to form for the worlds series. Then Me- Graw has in reserve Wiltse, Ames and Crandall. each one of whom is capa- ble at times of pitching championship ball. All of these are seasoned yeter- ans. Against them as second-string men are O'Brien, Pape and Hall. On the whole, I think that any unbiased ob- server will agree that McGraw has the best of it in the box.
 Behind the bat also New York is stronger. Carrigan is great catcher. No doubt of 1t, but he is not quite up to Meyers In throwing and is way be- hind at the bat.
 In the infield, I think on the whole Boston is little the better team. On first Stahl has the call on Merkle by a narrow margin. Doyle at second Is away ahead of either Yerkes or Ball At short Wagner is about as far ahead of Fletcher while at third Gardner is a slightly better player than Herzog, though the New Yorker makes up for this by his splendid base running. There Is no more dangerous man in either league than McGraw's third sacker
 In the outfield the Boston team is a little the stronger. In Speaker. Hoop CT and Lewis Boston has q wonderful trio, and Deyore. Murray and Snod- grass. all good men, are not quite up to them.
 In substitutes. should any of the reg ulars be injured. McGraw Is better sup

CAT UNDERSTANDS ENGLISH
Hears Slighting Remarks About Kit
 ten and Hides Offspring

From the Columbus Dispatch
 If the house cat does not actually enter into the family conversations there Is no question in the minds of North Eice family that their cat keeps ln touch with family affairs as discussed by tne meu- hers. This eat had four kittens recently and one by one they disappeared unul but one was left.
 As the wife was going out one evening she said to her husbands "I wish you would pick that kitten up and drop 1t some place where it won't frd it's way back"
 Almost immediately the old at come menced trying to coax her offspring 10 20 with her. but the little one was not '.wisej and insisted or staying at home. Tho old cat. therefore. did not so away that night as was her custom. but lag down on the porch with her front paws around the kitten. The husband ddi not have the heart to drag the young one from it's mother and it. therefore. ~emained.
 A few days later the wife ard daughter started on | weeks yaaction. and again the husband was instructed abOut the kitten. which was to be lost during thair absence. The husband came home that night with tho firm determmation of los- ing that kitten. but neither kitten nor old cat was anywhere to be found. Several times during the week the old cat came back for something to eat. bYt nothing was seen of the kitten.
 Within an hour after the wife and daughter returned and while the husband was explaining that he had not seen tho kitten all week. both eat and kitten came hack. and Ut this tune are still members of the family.
