MORAL FOR THE M0NEY-MAD
Hope of Becoming Millionaires About
on a Par With the Washer
Woman's Delusion.

Prof Warren M. Beidler of Bethel,
Pa, in a recent address made the
striking assertion that the American
people, money-mad, taught their chill
dren how to earn a living, but not
how to live.
There is no viler, and there is no
vainer ambition" said Professor Beid-
Ter to a reporter, than that Of the
American boy to become millionaire.
What percentage Of our boys do be-
come millionaires? It would take a
good many decimals to work that out,
believe me!
The boy who sets his heart on a
million fares like the washerWoman

CHAPTER, pg Continued

DO you by any chance belong to the
Maryland NeWbolds, sir?
eyes, they are distantly related to
a most excellent family of the same
name In Philadelphia, believe.
Il have always understood that to
be the truth"
"Ah, very satisfactory connection
indeed" said Stephen Maitland with
no little satisfaction. Proceed, SIR
There is nothing much else to say
about myself. except that | love your
daughter and with your permission
want her for my wife.
Mr.. Maitland had thought long and
seriously over the state OF affalrs. He
had proposed in his desperation to
give her hand to Armstrong II he
found her. 1t had been impossible to
keep secret the story of her adven-
ture, her rescue and the death OF Arm
strong. It was natural and inevitable
that gossip should have busted itself
with her name 1t would therefore
have been somewhat difficult for Mr..
Maitland to have withheld his consent
to her marriage to almost any gepu-
table man who had been thrown SO IN
timately with her, but when the man
was so unexceptionably born and bred
as Newbold, what had appeared as
more or less disagreeable duty, almost
an imperative imposition, became a
pleasure!
Mr.. Maitland was no bad judge OF
men when his prejudices were not
rampant, and he looked with much sat
isfaction on the fine, clean limbed,
clear eyed, vigorous man who was at
present suing for his daughters hand.
Newbold had shaved OF his beard and
had cropped close his mustache; he
was dressed in the habits of civiliza-
ton and he was almost metam-
orphosed. His shyness wore away as
he talked and his inherited ease of
manner and his birthright of good
breeding came back to him and sat
easily upon him.
Under the circumstances the very
best thing that could happen would
be a marriage between the two, in
deed to be quite honest, Mr.. Stephen
Maitland would have felt that perhaps
under any circumstances his daughter
could do no better than commit her
self to a man like this.
Il shall never attempt" he said at
last, ITO constrain my daughter.
think have learned something by my
touch with this life here; perhaps we
of Philadelphia need a little broaden
ing in airs more free. I am sure that
she would never give her hand with
out her heart, and therefore, she must
decide this matter herself. From her
own lips you shall have your answer
But you, sir; confess that / should
feel easier and happier if I had your
sanction and approval
Steve said Mr.. Robert Maitland,
as the other hesitated, not because he
intended to refuse, but because he was
loath to say the word that SO far as
he was concerned would give his

Large Collection of Trout Eggs a.

Government Fish Station
Probably the liveliest Matching OF
the season will be recorded at the
government fish station here during
the months of March and April OF
any place in this section. About a
million and a half wild trout eggs
were secured at the various field
stations and they have all been
brought to the station here. In addi-
ton to these the government haf
purchased 100000 eggs from the
commercial stations in Massachu-
setts and Pennsylvania which are
now being delivered. Some of these
eggs will begin to hatch in February
but the bulk of htem will hatch in
the months of March and April.
Part of these eggs are sent to
the branch station in Pittsford fol
Matching. But more than ever be-
fore are being hatched at the station
here. This increased output is made
necessary by the increasing demand
for trout to plant in the brooks
