J. PlERpoNr MORGAN.

In the death Of J. Picrpont Morgan
the leading figure of tho world Of fl
nance for many years passed out. The
leaders who looked to Morgan for adj
vice they priced beyond their own
judgment, who believed any project
to which he gave his assent was guilt
edge, must now look elsewhere for
their inspiration and guidance.
Whatever faults Mr.. Morgan may
have had, whatever criticism may he
made of the morality Of his acts, the
fact remains that his was genius as
remarkable as it is rare. The man
who is able to anass the fortune
Morgan made in his lifetime and at
tain the prominence to which he at
tanned Is made of no ordinary metal.
Had Morgan been associated with
the treasury department instead of
private enterprise, or, i'll other words,
had he devoted his genius to making
and saving money for the nation in
stead Of for himself, there is no doubt
but that he would be modern Ham,
ilton. In that capacity he might have
escaped the criticism that the magni-
tude OF his fortune will evoke and rich
and poor would honor his name. But
as it is, those who are suffering from
poverty and want will be slow to adj
mire the traits of his character which
made him the financial dictator of
two continents. Morgan gave freely
to churches, to educational work and
to charity. Many millions Of his
money have been devoted to humani-
tartan work. But great as his benefi-
cence was. it bore only a small ratio
to the magnitude Of his fortune.
There is a sad irony in the great
iinancier's death. He died OF virtual
starvation. In the midst Of all his
wealth his digestive organs refused to
function and the man who could haze
commander at his table the rarest
fruits Of the earth virtually went the
way OF one too poor to buy wherewith
to feed his hunger.
Morgan has gone. but the world OF
finance continues its activities. &c
man is SO great as to be Indispensable

WORSE THAN A TORNADO,

Sad reports have cmanated from
Omaha since the destruction wrought
by the tornado on Easter Sunday, but
none more pathetic or terrible than
the report that promoters of the
white slave traffic have taken advan-
tage of the want and woe created by
the storm to ply their f1endish trade
Recent dispatches from Omaha
state that these demons in mems
clothing have gone about in the xuise
of benefactors to lure young girls tc
the doom Of a life Of crime. They
have offered clothing and shelter, the
dispatches relate, to destitute women
to lure them into the meshes OF sir
and disgrace. They would utilize the
dark shadow OF a tornado to ply the
darkest craft that curses the face OF
the earth. From among the manned
the dying and dead they would pick
those the storm spared for a life more
miserable than the most miserable
death.
What form OF wickedness could lie
blacker or more guilty than this
What horror is more to be abhorred:
10 what depths cannot man, free.
reiGned, descend? The victims of the
white slavers are victims indeed. II
were better that they had been num-
bered among the tornado's dead.
The time must come when there
will be commensurate penalty 70,
this crime. Imprisonment for a few
years is a travesty on justice. What
does the man who would go into a
tornado-stricken district to get vic.
tins care for a few years in the peni.
Tertiary: Such a penalty is the most
outspoken testimony that virtue is not
protected by law. Until the time
comes when the crime Of forcing wo-
men into the bondage of vice is pun.
ishahle by a. penalty that bears some
ratio to the enormity OF the ofrenst
We need not wonder at or be Mortified
by such reports as those that have
come from Omaha.

EDISON DENIES HE'S A GENIUS
Tells Reviser of Latin Bible "I'm
Only Mechanic and Couldn't Do
Your Work"

Thomas A. Edison listened intently
at his home at Llowellyn Park, in
Orange, N. J., as tbs Abbott Francis
Gasquet, president OF the English
Benedictine Monks, unfolded to him
the gigantic task in which the COM
mission appointed by Pope Plus X, of
which he is the head, is engaged in
revising the Latin Bible.
The inventor, accounted an agnostic,
had asked the abbott to dinner to hear
OF the work he has undertaken. When
the abbott had finished telling of the
tremendous scope of the task, involv-
ing as it does the minute analysis of
ancient manuscripts wherever they
may be found in Europe, Mr.. Edison
turned to him, saying:
Father Gasquet, want to tell you
that l wouldn't like your job. It's
more than l could do"
But you, Mr.. Edison are the genius
Of the age" protested Abbott Gas
quet. my work does not compare
with yours"
Oh" replied Mr.. Edison, with a
wave of the hand, Il am only me-
chanic.''
After dinner Abbott Gasquet, in the
Edison library, heard operate arias.
I'm feeling like boy" said Mr..
Edison, when asked If he had fully
recovered from his recent illness.

Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time there lived and
fiourished in small city a worthy
man. He was devoted to his native
place; he loved its streets and stones,
it's strange doors, its smoke, it's high
rates, it's Indifferent water supply, it's
clubs and cafes and everything about
it. Nothing could induce him to leave
it even for the briefest period. In
vain did the railway companies spread
their holiday arrangements before his
eyes; he returned with the more salts
faction to his favorite seat overlook
ing the central square And, then, one
day, the king Of that country, who was
full of capricious impulses, issued
decree that no one in this little city
should ever leave it again, under pain
of fearful penalties. And Immediately
our friend began to be consumed with
a longing for travel-Punch.

Hint for the NeWlY-Weds.

How many mothers instruct their
daughters that they must try to love
their husbands relatives just as we'll
as they love their own? Very few
and many will assert that no such in
struction should be given; but some
Of us think that it ought. 1t is safe
thing to do-for the chances are 10000
to one that no girl could ever go
so far as that, try as faithfully as she
might. But she can surely learn to
love her husbands family, and she
will add immensely to his comfort by
SO doing. Their ways" are doubtless
very different from hers. Sometimes
they receive her with GOODNESS and
suspicion; but by practice and kind
ness and loving attention she can
usually win them. 1t is her mothers
part to teach her this patience and
kindness before she is married. The
art of being a good daughter-in-law is
a noble one, and like all other arts
it can, to considerable extent, be
taught.-Leslie's Weekly.

TELLS ANEcDoTE OF P0MBO
How Great South American Poet Told
Distinguished Lady to Kiss
Him.

Mr. Phanor j. Elder tells this anec-
dote of Pombo, the great South
American poet, in a New York literary
salon presided over by a distinguished
Argentine lady. Pombo had been pre-
scented to her, and she asked him.
with much enthusiasm, who was the
anonymous poetess, the famous Edda,
the Bogotana.
do you really find these verses
worth reading?" asked Pombo.
Worth reading! Verses vibrating
with the deepest passions of a wom-
ans soul, so essentially feminine
verses, too, exhaling the mysticism,
the alteration of a Santa Teresa! Oh,
you men! Who among you could
write such verses?"
WELL" said Pombo, "Edda is now
in New York, and II you want to
make her acquaintance"
Speak, mani" cried his hostess,
impetuously. Where does she live?
What's her name? I'll see her tomor-
row. l will cover her with kisses!"
Then begin, senora!" said the ugly
little Pombo. "I-I am Edda."

Resume Sales of Forestry Lands.

hSSuInS 0diSS OF FOTeSlIy EanOS,
The state land commissioners de-
cided to resume the sale of state for
estry lands, which was stopped last
April during the fight in the legisla-
ture over the question of the wisdom
of continuing the policy of the state
forestry commission in establishing O
permanent forest reserve in Villas,
Oneida and other counties in the ex-
IRENE northeastern part of the state
The land in the state forest reserve is
now being examined to determine
whether any of it is adapted to agri-
cultural purposes
The state land commissioners have
been advised that under the law they
are required to offer for sale such for
estry lands as may be classed by the
Wisconsin state forestry commission
as unfit or undesirable for the state
forest reserve.
The lands to be sold are located in
Douglas, Sawyer, Burnett and other
counties in the northwestern part of
the state. Applications for. the pur-
chase of $500 acres of these lands
have been made to the state land COM
missioners and they will now sell the
lands at prices at which they have
been appraised.
