BROKE DOWN COMPETITION

Chicago. March l3.--It is just possible
that j. Pierpont Morgan. may be called
as witness in the Alaska coal land
fraud cases which are on trial here be-
fore Judge I.nads in the United States
district court.
The possibility of the issuance of a
subpoena for the financter arose in
court today when John F. Ballaine, of
Seattle, Mash. former president of the
Alaska Central railway Was questioned
by Attorney Albert Fink. counsel for
Albert G. Frost one of the five de
PENDANTS regarding Morgan's relation
to a bank which figured in the promo
tion of The Alaskan Central and his
alleged control of a railroad which
competes With the Alaska Central.

Although Morgan is now abroad,
Judge Lands offered to have a sub
pocna issued at once for him IL the de-
fense believed his testimony would be
material

Morgan road in Alaska. Ii this line of
defense develops, it is not unlikely that
the government may desire Morgan's
testimony
Bank Failed Also.
Ballane's testimony today showed
that ne sold the Alaska Central rail-
raod to Frost in 1904. He said that
Frost was aided financially by the
Sovereign Bank of Canada. now de-

Morgan owned third interest.

THE BLESSING OF THE SNOW.

As the WhiteneSS of the snow covers
the dceaying brown Of the year 50
does the Wilderness of the hair tighten
and Slorify the chsing years of human

Under the benign covering of the
snow lies the promise of the spring
Under the whitening thatch of the
human habitation inheres, perhaps. the
certainty of spring in another exist

AS you count the whitening hairs,
consider each one us Il snowflake. sent
to cover with the beauty of the snow
the decaying remains Of the years that
have passed. Wear them not with re-
gret, but with the calm acceptance of
the years that have passed and prom
ise of the ages to come.
To all who live comes in time the
whitening of the hair. If you would
live long you must face the fact that
with the additions of years you enter
old age Regard it not as burden or
& source of regret.
Besnot as those of whom the German
proverb says:
"AI would live long, but no one
wishes to be old"
The intirmitieS of age are many, it is
true, but are they not compensated by
the gift of the added years in which
to live. to think, to feel? The ardor Of
youth and its yigor are replaced by the
experience of age and it's wisdom. All
Of these qualities have their places and
their values. Each in its own way is
best. Each has it's own time for use.
age Is opportunity no less than
youth itself, though in another dress"
There are those who regret the COM
ing Of the years and its sign. the whit
ening of the hair. 1t is vain regret
It is pleasant to note that white hair
among women Is no longer considered
q Disagreement. Indeed. the pendulum
has swung to the other extreme. and
fashionable women are vying with one
another in assuming the virtue Of
white hair if they have it not nat
urally.
Even young women with crowns Of
glory radiant in the colors of youth
blond. brunette and auburn. are imi-
tating the whiteness of the hair of
their grandmothers. They powder the
hair to make it white.
A passing fancy. of course but it
teaches in some degree the lesson that
there are honor and glory in the whit
ening of the hair.
More-in some feminine eyes-there
Is fashion in it nowadays.

UNFINISHED.

In all ages and in all lands. when
eyer and wherever men have thought
nn the things Of life and death, they
succeed this one They have pictured
to themselves lives of everlasting bliss
for those who are righteous on this
earth and of eternal torment for the
! wicked
This life has been considered a part
If whole. 1t is only a fraction, say
the believers in a future state. 1t is
incomplete. unfinished
To symbolic this belief the ancient
Hebrews. who were wise in their day
and generation ordained that Il mans
dwelling place should be left incom-
plete in some detail. They made it Il
law of religious observance that the
synagogue should contain some rough
corner, some place obviously left un-
finished To this day orthodox He
brew synagogues contain the unfinish-
ed place.
Moreover, SOME orthodox Hebrews,
strict in their observance Of the an
rient laws, leave portions of their
houses incomplete. Even wealthy men
among them follow the law.
In the house of Lord Rothschild Of
London, one Of the wealthiest men on
earth, there is an unfinished corner.
! left thus purpOsely to indicate the be-
lief Of the owner of the house that it
is only a temporary resting place for
his body. He believes that for his
soul there is higher. better. finer rest
ing place elsewhere.
All Of us leave our houses of life
unfinished
There is always something to COM
plete. There is always some ideal to
strive for There is always something
higher and better still unattained, but
attainable.
Perfection is not for imperfect hu-
man beings. Our lives are like the
asymptote. the straight line which con-
stantly approaches Il curve, but, no
matter how indefinitely extended. new
er touches it.
We may approach perfection, accord

vent our touching it.
\ Make your house Of life as rich as
YOU can. Adorn it With the treasures
Of love and understanding. There will
always be some unfinished corner.
/ But if you honestly and sincerely en-
/ deayor to build it Well to have within
it nothing that YOU feel to.be unworthy,
YOU need not be ashamed of its untin-

credit be 1t said that he asks for


work
But it must be "genteel"
There is no definition of gentilty in
the advertisement. but the presump-
ton is strong that the applicant wants
work that will not soil his hands. He
wants employment of the sort that
will not lower him in the eyes of his
friends"
He wants work such as is not gen
orally looked down upon.
There are too many like him-too
many consumers of the goods produced
by others, too many to whom the
thought Of hard. honest. willing toll.
close to the soil and close to the ma
terias Of life itself. is abhorrent. The
cities are full of such.
If this man had the power of think
in- deeply II" would know that his life
and uly life and yours and the lives OF

and wonrn WHO do work that is not
'gpnfeel."

Yet all these things and many,
many others that are disparaged must
be done lest the advertiser and AL 9th
ers perish from the face of the earth.
The disdain Of any sort Of honest
work is cancer that eats into ma
tons life. 1t is the force that tends
directly and inevitably toward the
creation of upper" and Tower class
es 1t divides and alienates men from
their brothers.
Many centuries ago there was trou-
BILE in England. The poor We're too
poor. and the rich had too much. OPP
presSive laws made the lot of the poor
even worse than they should have
been. Then arose Il man with the gift
of irony. and he wrote verses which
awakened the minds Of the poor and,
through the awakening, brought about
in time hettprment of their condition.
The verses We're simple and easily
remembered Some of them have lived
{D this day In them we find:
When Adam delyed and Eve span.
Who was then the gentleman?
Let the advertiser and others who
think rs he does about "genteel" work
ponder the words.
