GOVERNOR BAEDwIN.
(Waterbr1y American.)

Gov Baldwin hes been good enough Governor for almost all of us. His running ahead of the party tick ct was a logical result Of the repu- tation he has made and the hold he hzs gatxfea pozl popular liking and zeenz fidenceA He has been strong and ac- tive and all of his public. appearances shave made favorable impression on the people while his speeches and ad- dresses have possessed a quality of wid knowledge and distinction of style that have conferred honor on the state If the Governor should hap pen to have a Democratic Legislature to back him up-at present writing that Is 8 matter of disturbing doubt there will be doings at Hartford in the next two years The Democrats have long wanted to get hold of the state government from top to bottom and there ia good deal that they can do which needs doing and some things which, in the doing, may not be en- tireIy salutary. For an observer look ing on for mere entertainment, 8 Dem ocratic Governor with 8 Democratic General Assembly in Connecttcut would be about as good show as he could see.

A man had been absent from home for some time, and during his ab- sence had raised a Iuxuriant beard and mustache. Shortly after his return he paid visit to his sister, who had Q little daughter of whom he was espe- ciaIly fond.
 The little girl made no effort to e1n- brace him or offer him a kiss, but hung back reluctantly.
 Why. E1eanor,'' said the mother, why don't you give Uncle Ed a kiss ?"
 Well, mother" returned the child, with the most perfect simplicity, "I don't see any place.''-Harper'e Bazaar.

Low INFANT DEATH RATE.

Lady Stout wife Of Sir Robert
Stout, chief justice Of New Zealand,
says that the infant death rate is
lower in her country than in any
other place in the world except Vic
toria- According to hsr statistics 214
babies die before they are one year
out Of every 1000 born in Hungary
in Germany, 100; in France, 149; in
England and Wales, 1T4; in Scot
land, 1875; in New Zealand, II; in
Victoria 10. Lady Stout also says
that before the granting of equal
franchise to the women of New Zea-
land and Victoria tho birth rate was
very low. For the first few years
after the decline continued, then the
birth rate took an upward turn,
which has continued ever since until
now it is higher than that Of Eng
land and Wales These are, in Lady
Stout's opinion, two strong argu-
1nents In hrOr Of equal franchise,

NO MISTAKE.

Senator Newlands, in an address
at Reno, said of a millionaire who
had failed:
"The poor fellow weathered the
terrible panic to go under in a mere
financial furry. He reminds me of
Smithson.
"Smithson in the early summer
went abroad. He visited London,
Paris, Vienna and the other centers,
and, though he went Summing night
after night, he was not once robbed
Of penny.
"But he had no sooner returned
to New York than his pocket wes
picked on Broadway. In telling me
about his loss, he said:
"'Abrosd, I never lost a cent!
Here, the first night I'm back, 5000
goes. This ID the land Of the free
and no mistake, the land Of the
free-and easy"

NEEDLESS OF TIMES FLIGHT
Elderly coIored People Of the South
Rarely Know How Old
They Are.

AS every southerner knows, elder
.ly colored people rarely know how
old they are, and almost invariably
assume an age much greater than
belongs to them. At an Atlanta fam
lily there is employed an old chap
named Joshua Bolton who has been
with that family and the previous
generation for more years than they
can remember. In view, therefore,
of his advanced age, it was with sur.
prise that his employer received one
day an application for few days off
lin order that the old fellow might,
as he put it, ego up to de ole state
;of Virginny" to see his aunt.
your aunt must be pretty old"
was the employers comment.
"Yassir," said Joshua, She's pref

MILLIoNAIRES OF GERMANY
Growth Of Large PrIvste Fortunes In
the FatherIand ls Comparatively
Recent But Rapid.

A German income tax statistician
gives interesting particulars of the
comparatively recent growth OF large
private fortunes in the fatherland.
Heading the list in Frau Bertha
Krupp Won Bohlen-Halbach, who
was before her marriage 9ermanys
wealthiest heiress. She has to pay
on $46,750,000. Five years ago she
was still richer and contributed to
the imperial exchequer On the basis
of fortune Of $50, 100000. Next
comes Prince Henckel Won Donners-
marck, the kaiser's friend and own
er of various industrial undertakings
who has increased his fortune dur
ing the last Is years from $12, AGO.
900 to $44,250,000. The third is
the duke Of Ujest, Of the Hohenlohe
family, a bachelor, who has improved
himself in the last decade from 3d.
100000 to 37,75O,0o0. The fourth
in order of riches is Baron Gold
schmidt-Rothschild of Frankfort,
who owns s96, 100000. The greatest
capitalist of Berlin is Ernest Won
Mendelssohn- Bartholdy of the bank
ing firm of that name, who possesses
$10,750,0OO. He, however, comes
only seventeenth on the general list.
The 16 richest people in Germany
do not reside in the capital. The

STRANGE ROMANCE IN ITALY
Young Fisherman at Bari 10 pisoov-
cred by Hls Now Wealthy ParSnts
WhO Abandoned Him at Birth.

There is material for a thrilling
romance in the remarkable story
which comes from Bari, in Italy,
concerning a fisherman who, though
twenty years Of age, has just found
his father and mother. Twenty
years ago. g young wife from Stras-
burg gave birth to boy in an hotel
ct Bari. The child was so weak that
10 was not expected to live. The
m0thsr hersslf was i'll, and her hus-
band had her conveyed to Germany.
The parents did not want to be
hothered with the sihng child, 30
thsy confded it to an orphanage.
The couple proceeded to strasburg,
where they prospered in business,
making q large fortune. It now oc-
CURED to them to inquire after the
fate of their child whom they feared
must have died. To their great sur
prise they learned through the Ger
man consul that their son was not
dead, but was earning his living as
q fisherman. His mother arrived in
Bari, and found in the young fish
erman strong resemblance to her
husband. The young man, who does
not understand a word Of German,
was at once rugged out in new
clothes, and proceeded with his
mother to Germany.

GREATEST TRUTHS INFINITE
Immortality Of the Soul and God Great
Truths That Cannot BE
Proven.

The great things cannot be proved
God cannot be proved, nor can ths
immortality Of the soul. Argument
is finite, and the great truths are
infinite. What one believes Of the
infinite things one must feel. This
is the privilege of the soul, whose e1-
istence is the corollary Of this feel
ing. The great truths Of God, Of
Immortality and of the soul are the
detectives of the intuition, or the
longing, of the aspiration, which ara
above logic, reason and science, and
the more they are cultivated and
strengthened the closer one gets to
the great facts Of God and immortal
ity. These thoughts come to US in
noting the observation of Mr.. Edi-
son, who doubts if we have souls. Il
he could prove the souls existence in
his laboratory, we would have doubts,
too. The hope, the yearning Of the
heart, the love of virtue and the sac
rifce are things that do not get into
Mr.. Edison's crucible, and yet they
belong to the formula of truth. We
don't argue with skeptic one min
ute. He cannot convince us, nor We
him. We love him and go our way.

A WELL ORGANIZED INDUSTRY.
Live Stock Is Now Produced and Sold
on a Plan That Protects the
Farmer and Shipper
Perfectly.

Edgar E. Oversueet, one OF the
leading live stock commission men
at the st. Louis National Stock Yards,
maintains that the live stock industry
Is now so we'll organized that the
farmers and shippers are better served
and protected than the producers or
middle men in any other line of bust
ness. He states his views as follows:
THE live stock man has an open
market. That is an immense advan-
tage. His stock is sold to the high
est bidder at public sale under the
most advantageous conditions. This
is true when he ships to any OF the
big live stock markets, like st. Louis,
for instance, where there are buyers
for all the big packers and local butch
er trade and for Eastern packers, too
These buyers furnish the competition
that makes the price. If the stock is
sold at a small market or at private
sale the element of competition Is
largely lost.
Secondly the live stock man has
his own agent. The commission man
at a I0dThSI Inc lhlo dSho III lhC snip
per or farmer and nobody else. He Is
not employed to help the buyers but
the owners. His value is his ability
to get all the money there is in his
consignments out Of them and his sue
cess depends on his doing so.
80 the modern commission man
puts in organization that Is as perfect
as that employed by the packers and
employs statesmen who can meet the
buyers for the packers on equal
grounds. He also employs good men
to handle the stock as 1t comes In and
others to check 1t up, make out bills
and stenographers to write letters to
customers keeping them posted. We
employ three stenographers to do this
and they are busy all the time. We
are all busy, each doing some special
thing that ia part Of the system by
which we enable our customers to b.
as we'll served in their selling as theJ
are In their shipping or banking"

THEY READ THE PAPERS.
The Most Successful Farmers and
Shippers Are Regular Students
Of Conditions.

"The most successful farmers and
shippers we come In contact with are
men who read the newspapers" says
a member of the National Live Stock
Commission Company. the firm that
does the largest business at the St
Louis National Stock Yards. They
keep posted. They know conditions.
They know stock. They know mar
kets. They know what sort OF stock
to raise and what 1t will bring at diff
ferent markets
"They keep their minds open 10
facts and figures They are the best
customers a firm can have. They ap-
.preciate good service. When We 50

SMOKING AMONG STUDENTS.

The degree Of mentality attained
by the non-smoking student is great
er than that of the smoker, while in
physique the balance is in favor OF
the smoker. A compilation made Of
the members of one college class
shows that during the period Of I'M
dergraduate life, which is essential
ly 91a years, the first group grows
in weight 1914 per cent. more than
the second, and II per cent. more
than the third in girth Of chest the
first group grows 96.7 per cent. more
than the second and 20 per cent.
more than the third; in capacity Of
lungs the first group gains n per
cent. more than the second and 49.6
per cent. more than the third. AS a
rule, the non-smoker is mentally SUI
perior to both the occasional and the
'habitual smoker. AS a rule the nom
smoker is equal, and probably slight
ly superior physically, to all men,
.bers of the smoking classes except
the athletes. 1t may well be queried
as to whether the smoking athlete
does not make his gain at too high
mental cost to make it pay.
