IT. HERE is one feature of life
in old Europe for which we
have no exact equivalent in
new America. and that is the
FETES Ca FETE means a feast"
or a celebration that are annually
given in many ancient towns and
cities They not only serve to
arouse and perpetuate local and ma
tional pride and patriotism, but
they are the delight of artists and
of all persons who have either a
taste for the picturesque or an APP
probation of the scenes of a past
age when they are vividly brought
before the eye.
Possibly our continent is now old
enough. inasmuch as several hun
dred years have elapsed since white
men first began to do things within
its borders, to have something of
this kind to recall its former days,
but among US the spirit that in
spires fetes Is yet generally lack
ing. Perhaps thousand years
from now there will be splendid
fetes in New York. having some of
the ruins of its skyscrapers for a
background and serving to recall to
the men and women of that time
what life was on this continent in
the days when the first feeble at
tempts at aerial navigation were
looked upon as modern miracles
But | have no intention to dis
course on the general subject of
fetes; | wish simply to call at
tention to a very remarkable eX-
ample of this kind of celebration
which has recently occurred in the
old city of Carcassonne, in south
ern France. If you ever go to Eu-
rope you must try to see Carcass
some. There Is d modern town and
an ancient one. side by side. and
1t Is only the ancient one that has
much interest for the traveller. But
It's interest is supreme 1t stands

tn HIS is how business man de .
scrtbed a young man as a
desirable employee and cit
izen:
l. He should take an interest in
his work.
2. Do nothing to injure his health.
3, Hence; Have simple habits.
A. Carry as much life insurance
as his income permits.
S. Have some money, even if it be
but little, in a bank,
If he takes an interest in his work
he will soon get better place, for
a wise business man is seldom
found who overlooks a promising
employee. But, he added, they do
sometimes.
If he does nothing to injure his
health he can work with all the
strength there is in him.
If His Habits Are Simple.
If his habits are simple he will
waste none of his income; but he
will learn how to enjoy life sanely
as he goes on from day to day
He must carry some life insur-
ance if any one is dependent on
him. And he should acquaint him
self. as soon as he begins to earn,
with the necessity to a young man
of this kind of protection
With "A little money in the bank
he is prepared for an emergency.
In brief, all these five items l have
mentioned give him a degree Of in
dependence that makes for content.

for. unless you have seen some
thing of the kind. you can have no
means of making a comparison.
For one thing, it looks as old as
the rocks and hills, and as desert
ed as a wilderness. And yet it is
a whole and complete city. with it's
walls, towers, houses, churches
streets, battlements and dungeons
existing as in their pristine time,
and simply lacking its inhabitants.
Nobody lives in it except caretak-
ers and watchmen.
A Mental Picture.
Suppose the city of Albany should
be deserted by it's inhabitants; then
let century after century pass over
it, leaving its great capitol and its
other buildings standing intact;
finally imagine yourself visiting it
and finding it in the same condi-
ton, a thousand years or more lat
er and you will have in your mind
some idea of the appearance of Car
cassonne. Only Albany is not a
fighting city-eXcept for politicians
and it has no stout walls to re-
sist besiegers, no gates with port
Cullises. no loopholes through which
to shoot with crossboWs, harque-
busses or musketoons, no donjons,
no barbicans. and no torture cham
bers. CarCassonne was a fighting
city for 500 years-battling against
Visigoths. Saracens and enemies of
every kind-and it has kept all
these things, except the people who
used them They have vanished,
leaving their city in state of pres
ervatiOn more complete than that
of specimen in a museum. 1t is
the mummy of a medieval city and
the most perfect thing of it's kind
in the world.
In this antique city, which they
have taken the utmost pains to
keep intact, repairing where neces-
sary the ravages of time, the
French this summer have cele-
brated a fete than which nothing of
the sort could be more interesting.

walls and towers for background

Lecturing Business Men.


Our business men have been able
to do all this without Mr. Wilson's
guidance, and in spite Of hts poor
opinion Of them It is Just possible
that under the guidance of college
professors these ignorant and
provincial" business men of ours
might not have accomplished as
much for themselves and their
country as they did when left to
their own resources.
Mr.. Wilson's dogmatic and d.
dactic declarations have all the
positiveness Of the pedagogue who
has theories on everything and ex-
perience In nothing. His is the Gus
tonary attitude of the college pro-
fessor who knows everything, hav-
ing read 1t in books, where it was
Written down by other college pro-
fessors with equally infallible
knowledge based on equally uni
versal inexperience.
1t is an interesting thing to see a
college professor lecturing pract-
cal business men on the practical
problems of business from the
musty rooms of one of the colleges
which the practical success of these
business men had enabled them 20
endow
1t must also be an interesting
thing to Englishmen to note that
America is considering the advis-
ability of embarking on free trade
policy, which England is consider
ing the advisability of abandoning
This paradoxical situation IS due
to the fact that England has had to
her sorrow some experience with
free trade policy, while American
statesmen are educated in the books
of theoretical English economists
which were written before the free
trade theory had opportunity OF
practical experiment and refuta-
ton
/ do not wonder that English
men are interested in this phase OF
American politics, but think thar
the sound sense of American Cit
zens will prevent any foreign coun-
try being unduly benefited at our
expense by the hasty application 'i
the undigested theories of some NJ
our well meaning but inexperienced
statesmen.

There are thousands of men who go

No Proof Found of Plot

BOSTON. Mass, Jan. 1s.-The police
have been unable to find any evidence
that will substantiate the statement
made by friends Of Governor Foss that
a plot TO assassinate him exists. The
declaration that members Of the italian
Black Hand organization had been sent
from New York to kill Governor Foss
because he ordered troops into Lawrence
to combat the striking mill hands there,
has not been substantiated.
Leaders OF the Lawrence strikers de-
