It's a waste of time to blame Others
for your failures. Granted that your
neighbor is the instrument which has
brought you disaster. Let it he
admitted, too, that he has done SO
premeditatively and maIiciously. In
the language of the small boy, he has
laid for lou and soaked you good and
plenty. Clearly, you say, he is to
blame.
In a sense he is. He has his own
moral responsibility and must abide
by the results ofshis own acts. But,
mark you, that doesn't excuse you
it's your business to be so strong, so
painstaking, SO watchful, so efficient
that not all of the enemies and all of
the hate-sped brickbats in the world
can keep you from your goal. The
fact that a bigger man than you blocks
your way to success doesn't relieve
you of the burden of failure. In
world where big men and untoward
circumstances are wont to interfere
with your plans, it is nothing short
of criminal neglect for you to go to
battle unprepared to meet just such
opposition. Never was Goliath so great
that some David, with a keen eye and
his undoing. Never was there COM

In the provincial charter Of 1891,
under which the Plymouth colony and
the province of Maine were united
with Massachusetts,. it was provided
that all trees of the diameter OF "a
inches and upward, twelve inches from
the ground growing upon land not
son should be reserved to the crown
for the furnishing of masts for the
royal navy.
A surveyor general of woods was ap-
pointed to see that this provision of
the charter was carried into effect.
Near the coast all white pines of suit
able dimensions were marked with the
BROAD arroW'-three cuts through the
bark with an ak, like the track of a
crow. This was the kings mark
Long after the Revolution had OBJ
liberated the royal authority, men who
had been taught in boyhood to respect
the kings mark hesitated to cut such
trees.
In telling a tree it was necessary to
"bed it, to prevent its breaking. This
was done by cutting the small growth
and placing the small trees across the
hollow, 50 that there should be no
strain upon one section more than
upon another when the monster pine
struck the ground.
The mast was hauled out of the
woods on one strong sled, whether in
winter or summer, and so many oxen
were required that the hind pair were
often choked in crossing hollow, be-
ing hung UP in their yoke by the pull
ing of those ahead of them
A mast-hauling was a great event,
and everybody within walking distance
came to see it.-Harper's Weekly.

CITY PARKS SAVED.

| Commissioner Stotts is to be con-
graduated for the successful fight he
made in getting at least a reasonable
levy for park purposes for next year.
One-half a mill tax. which will pro-
duce in the aggregate about SIS, 900, is
little enough to spend on the Topeka
parks in one year, and particularly
right at this time when something eff
dcient is being done in the develop
men- of the park system to proportions
commensurate with the needs of city
of this size.
Economy in the administration of a
city's affairs is most desirable. Public
officials who are of mind to reduce
the tax rate are worthy of the hearth
est encouragement. But such a reduc-
ton should not be brought about at
the expense of any of the necessary
municipal activities. And the develop
ment of the parks, the pleasure and
recreation grounds of the people, is
quite as important as almost any other
phase of a city's undertakings. Had
only a beggarly quarter of a mill tax
been allowed for the parks, their
growth into parks worth while would
have been arrested. That the city
commissioners were able to allow a
half-mill levy for, the parks and at the
what it was for last year speaks well
for their discernment and ability as
municipal officers.
They are doing much better in the
financing of the city than are the
authorities of other localities scattered
all over the country. News came from
Boston the other day that although
the assessed valuation of the property |
there showed an increase of $35,O0O,- |
900 over what it was year ago-and |
this is sum within $15,0OO.0 of the |
total assessed valuation of the property |
in Topeka-the tax rate for this year |
would be the same as it was last. This |
is no less, mind you, than $16.4O on |
the thousand dollars. In other words.
Bostonians are paying for city taxes
alone at rate that is about the same
as Topekans pay for city, county and
state taxes combined.
Taxes in Topeka strike many people
as being rather burdensome, but they
will compare more than favorably with
the taxes that are paid by cityans all
over the country. Incidentally, the ex-
cellent showing made by the city COM
missioners in the matter of keeping
down the city's expenses is also fine
for efficiency of the COM
mission system of government.

MIGRATION OF CONSERVATIVES.

Physicians in all of the eastern and
southern states will be asked by the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis to stop
sending consumptives in the last stages
Of tuberculosis and without sufficient
funds to the southwestern part of the
United States in search of health, ac-
cording to an announcement made re-
Gently by that association.
While it is impossible to tell accurate
ly how many consumptives there are at
present living in the states of Colorado,
New Mexico, Arizona, Southern Cali
fornia, and Western Texas, it is prob
able that no less than 10 per cent of the
100000 people in this territory have
tuberculosis themselves or have come
to the west because some member Of
their family has had it. Every year.
the health authorities estimate, not less
than 10000 consumptives hopelessly dis
eased come west to die. For these
cases, the climate of this section of the
country can do nothing and they are
compelled to die in strange surround
irgs and thousands of miles from home
and friends.
The National Association points out
further that from so to so per cent of
these advanced cases are too poor to
provide the proper necessaries of life
and they are either starved to death or
compelled to accept the meagre charity
which this part of the country affords
In an. effort to stop the migration of
consumptives of this class to the south
west, the National Association will ask
physicians to be more careful in order
ing patients to go away, and will also
ask railroads to discontinue their prac-
tice of selling charity tickets to those
who cannot afford to pay full fare. mo
ccnsumptive should go to Colorado,
California, or the West for his health"
says the association, unless he has Il
good chance for recovery from his dis
ease, and unless especially he has at
least $1,000 to spend for this purpose,
over and above what his family may
need.
Tuberculosis can be cured in any
part of the United States, and it is not
necessary for a tuberculosis patient to
go west. Whenever possible, the Ma
tionaI Association urges tuberculosis
patients who have not ample funds to
go to a sanatorium near home, and if
they cannot do this. to take the cure in
their own homes, under the direction of
a physician"
