BOYS WHO DID BIG THINGS.
Many of the Worlds Great Men Won
Fame In Their Youth.

Some of the greatest achievements
In the world have been made by youth,
and it will always be so in human his
tory. David, the sweet singer of Is
rael, was Il shepherd, poet and u
general before he was twenty and q
king at the age of eighteen. Raphael
had practically completed his life work
at the age of thirty-seven. He did no
great artistic work after that age.
James Watt, even as a boy, as he
watched the steam coming out of the
teakettle, saw in it the new world of
mechanical power made possible by the
old element turned and driven by d
simple appliance.
Cortes was master of Mexico before
he was thrty-six. Schubert died at
the age of thirty-one after having com
posed what may perhaps he called in
some ways the most enhancing melody
ever written. Charlemagne was mas
ter of France and the greatest emperor
of the world at the age of thirty. Shel-
ley wrote Queen Nab when he was
only twenty-one and was Il master of
poetry before he was twenty-five.
Patrick Henry was able to shape the
revolutionary history of a new country
before he was thirty and astonish the
world by his oratory before he was
twenty-six years old. At the age of
twenty-four Ruskin had written Mod
ern Painters and Bryant, while still Il
boy of high school age, had written
"Thanatopsis. Robert Burns wrote
some of his greatest songs while he
was plowboy.-London Answers.

MADE THE CLERKS WORK.
A Senator Wanted Information and
Found a Way to Get 1t.

q way " SCt IL
Congress makes lots of unnecessary
trouble for the government clerks"
said veteran employee, but the
worst case l know of occurred some
years ago. A certain senator asked
the comptroller of the currency to tell
him how much stock a certain man
had in Il national bank. He was in
formed that such information was re-
garded as confidential and could not be
given out.
"'We1l see about that said the SEN
ator, who was plainly disappointed and
displeased.
Several days later he secured the
passage of resolution calling upon
the secretary of the treasury to fur
nish the senate with the names and
holdings of the stockholders in all the
national banks in the country. He
really wanted to know only the inter
est of one man in Il bank. but he knew
that he couldn't get Il resolution of that
kind through the senate, so he includ-
ed the stockholders in all national
banks.
''It took the entire force of the comp
troller's office several weeks to pre-
pare the Information, and when it
reached the senate nobody paid any at
tention to it except the author of the
resolution, and he merely looked at the
mass of papers only long enough to
see about the man he was after and
then tossed the papers aside. 1t was
an immense lot of work for nothing"

Then the picture was turned over
and the restorer began to sandpaper

mound or pyramid, whose truncated

in the center Of this plain rises the
ruined temple, seventy-five feet long
from east to west and sixty-fye feet
wide from north to south. 1t stands
true to the compass, and the height of
the base walls alone is twelve feet. The
temple topping these walls rose about
thirty feet higher.
Carvings five inches deep, despite the
wear and tear of fifty centuries, cover
this basic WALL the tale of the race that
built the ruin, preserved from the
hands of vandal priests forever in i'm
sperishable stone. On one of these
carved stones, twelve feet long, two
feet thick and nearly four feet wide, is
a double carving. On one side is the
original, done by the men who built
the temple; on the other, cut by some
Aztec priest, is the translation of this
carving done into the picture writing
Of the Nahuatl tongue, the name of the
language spoken by the Aztecs, and
their contemporary race, the Tlascal-

This carving Professor Mena found
while digging around the base of the
ruined temple. Seven months of hard
work were put in comparing the char

spent five months more translating the
story of the four walls, and this is what
