and Ireland and of the British Domin-
ions Beyond the Seas, King, Defender
of tho Faith, Emperor Of India" was

What Is happiness2

Happiness is the greatest paradox in
nature. 1t can grow in any SOIL live
under any conditions. It defies envi-
ronment. 1t comes from within. 1t is
the revelation of the depths of the in
ner life as light and heat proclaim the
sun from which they radiate. Happi-
ness consists not of having. but of be-
ing; not of possessing. but of enjoy
ing. 1t Is the warm glow Of heart at
peace within itself. martyr at the
stake may have happiness that king
on his throne might envy. Man is the
creator of his own happiness. 1t Is the
aroma of life lived in harmony with
high ideals. For what a man has he
may be dependent on others: what he
is rests with him alone. What he OBJ
tains in life is but acquisition; what he
attains is growth. Happiness is the
souI's joy in the possession of the in
tangible.-William George Jordan.

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE
PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

NEW YORK, June 3.-Holidays at
home and abroad tended TO materially
restrict stock market operations An
other influence which discourages &C
tivity is the approach of the conven-
tons next month at Chicago and Bal
timore. Some idea can be formed as TO
the forthcoming candidates for the
Presidency, but thus far little has been
said or made known as to the plat
form of either party. At the moment
this is of even more importance than
the personnel of the candidates Radi-
calism is rampant in nearly all parts
of the country, especially in the West !:
hence the formal declarations of each
side will be awaited with intense in
terest. The technical position of the
market is also somewhat uncertain,
the recent rise having been engineered
by parties who have not entirely sue
ceeded in disposing of their surplus
stocks. Whether they will ultimately
succeed or not remain to be seen.
Outside of Wall Street conditions
are generally favorable. Crop reports
are daily becoming much more salts
factory; early damage having been
fully compensated for by good condi.
tions elsewhere and by prompt re,
planting OF wheat, corn, oats and hay
the chances at present are in favor OF
full crops. There is still some uncer
tainty regarding cotton because of the
| lateness of that crop and the propsect
| for a slightly diminished acreage. The
only crop of importance that seems
likely to be short is that of cattle
! The last drouth and the subsequent
/ high price of feed forced the early mar
keting of large quantities of cattle
hence the present deficiency in sup
| plies and the high prices of beef
which are naturally raising such a pop
ular outcry. The only remedy for this
condition is eating less meat, which
can readily be done to advantage
since the American consumer is
among the heaviest meat eaters in the
/ world. A curtailment of his diet in this
respect would undoubtedly benefit his
health and his pocketbook at the same
| time.
Business conditions in the West are
somewhat more encouraging than il
the case east of the Alleghenies Trade
at most interior cities is proceeding

promises to be we'll sustained. Thi:
statement is borne out by Clearing
House returns, which last week show

leading cities, the largest gains being

percentage of increase was Is and IL

bank clearings are only about to

ICEBOUND ANTARCTiCA.
Twice as Large as All Europe Is the
South Polar Continent.

Twice as Large as All Europe Is tho
South Polar Continent.
The antarctic continent has been es-
timated to be at least twice as large
as Europe. The evidence of paleom-
tology is to the effect that Antarctica
was once connected with the more
northern lands, at least with South
America, and that in prehistoric ages
some tremendous CONFUSION of the
earth's crust resulted in the sinking of
the submarine" floor, until in some
places it Is now 1900 fathoms, or
more than four miles below the sur
face.
All around the great land mass of
this continent there Is a deep ocean
bed cutting it off from every other
land of the earth and setting it apart
as a region more unlike the rest of
the globe than any other continent or
island
Explorations have proved that in
times before the advent of man upon
the earth this most southern land had
a temperate or even warmer eli
mate There are fossils, both animal
and vegetable, which indicate this.
The formation Of the rocks in Antarc-
tica also Is of volcanic origin and vol
canic activity, notably in the case of
Mount Erebus, which is not yet ex-
tinct. A vast mountain range. per
haps at one time continuation of the
Andes, exists in Antarctica.-America

GROTESQUE STUPIDITY.
Some Of sStanIey's Experiences With

the African Natives.
The natives of central Africa are de-
1eribed by the late Sir Henry NJ. Stan

pie, of one native who, with another
man, was sent in canoe across a
river to fetch a company Of men 10

two padding each in an opposite direc-
ton and blaming the other for his stu
pidity. They were in a passion of ex-
element and quite unable to hear the
advice Of the men across the river, who
were bawling directions to them how
to manage their canoe.
Another stupid fellow was generally
saved from punishment because his
mistakes were so absurd. One day we
were floating down the Kongo. Near
camping time, as he happened to be

forthwith sprang on shore and seized
the grass with both hands while we, of
course, were rapidly swept on down

lous sight. Nevertheless his stupidity

this growth of exports continues in
spite of the tendency of agricultural
shipments to diminish. We are sending
less and less foodstuffs TO Europe be-
cause they are required at home, and

TO A YOUNG NAN.

II you should die how much in cash

Experts have figured it all out Ac.
cording to the figures. the life of la
borer who earns on the average Sl.5C
per day at the age OF thirty. the period
when his labor is most valuable. is
worth to the world the sum OF
S2.217.03.
When this man dies society loses
$3,211.03 Of its economic capital
But the professional man. the spe-
cialist. is most valuable at the age OF
forty. When he dies. according te
these statistics. society sustains a loss
of S13,2o7,4s-
Moreover
The laborer grows less valuable In
dollars and cents after thirty, while
the economic worth of the professional
man remains at about the same figure
up to the age Of fifty. After fifty his
value grows slightly less.
To illustrate:
Take the laboring man at sixty-fve.
His value to society is small. He can
not render much service. From being
worth $3.21T.03 at thirty his value has
decreased until he is worth only S594.67
But
The specialist is still quite valuable
to the world at sixty-five. He is worth
almost as much as he was at forty OIL
fifty. There is no such sharp decline
in value us in the. case Of the laborer.
Mind you
When the specialist is here spoken OF

men of college education. The specially

self he was brave enough and strong
enough. but he brooded over his sor-
rows until he was not at himself.
This is his story:
For many years he had given his
life to an institution. In the early
days when the business could i'll af-
ford sufficient clerical help he often
did the work of two and even three
men.
He stood by the stuff.
The business grew large and pros
porous. and the men who labered with
him in its establishment had died.
The younger generation. when it ca me
into the management, forgot. If it ever
knew. the labors and sacrifices of my
friend. Besides. the younger men want
ed place for friend.
The old man was let out.
Which broke his heart.
He was not of the sort to wear his
heart on his sleeve. He tried to keep a
stiff upper lip. At the same time if
was apparent to those who knew him
well that his dismissal from the old
place-sugar coated under the specious
guise of observation-disclosures a mortal
blow.

not right himself. His mind became

he ended it all.
Now, there is more than one way to

From the day when he was turned
out like an old horse to die or to linger

heart
When those directors squeezed him
out they did not realize. Corporations

borne the heat and burden of the day.

Early Manuscripts.

The type Of letters in early manuscript
was the same as that Of those used on
the earlier metal plates and wax tab
lets. All letters were capitals. Minus
cule, or small lettering, as opposed to
the majuscule, was invented in the
seventh century. Before its invention
there was no spacing between the
words. There was no punctuation I'M
less possibly some mark between SEN
fences. When cursive writing came
into general use, about the beginning
Of the tenth century. the art was prac-
ticed by only a few highly trained
scribes. This continued all through
the middle ages. The scribes were art
lists. and they carried their art to a
high degree of perfection. Many Of
the manuscripts of that period are very
beautiful specimens OF handiwork and
as perfect as print.

Los Angeles, Cal, June B.. - Bert
Franklin, under cross examination in
the trial of Clarence s. barrow for al
legged bribery In connection with the
Mcnamara cases, said that Samuel
Gompers, head Of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, sent the money di-
rect to Darrow to be used in the brib-
cry of George N. Lockwood. franklin
said Mr.. barrow had given him the
information.
Franklin testified at the same time
that barrow had told him he need not
worry about Job Hartman being i'm
plicated In the case. Hartman, Oar
row told the witness, could account
for the visit to the safe deposit vault
the morning he secured the $4,000 by
the fact that be took out $500 to pay q
mortgage, said Franklin.
The conversation in which Gompers'
name was mentioned was incidental to
a newspaper account purporting to
show that the S 1000 used In the Lock
wood case had been marked money.
Gompsrs Is Accused.
81 asked Mr.. barrow" said Franklin,
vi he had seen In the papers that the
district attorney had traced the money
from the safe deposit vault Into the
hands Of Mr. barrow and from there
into my hands; also that 1t was marked
money. He said the money was sem
direct to him by Samuel Gompsrs."
Franklin also testified that barrow
had asked him for a description Of the
cells and accommodations In the San
Quentin and Folsom prisons.
81 told him the best I could" con
tinued the witness. II was thinking
seriously about that myself"
