One of the great criticisms of
the American Government is that
| political offices are too frequent

character and capacity do not

for votes and popularity, and in
stead of helping to pass good

greatest number of people, seek
merely to advance their personal
power and prestige by advocat-
ing laws that ignore fundamental
principles of business and are
economically unsound and de-
structive in their effect on every
body. Glass legislation is given
in return for political debts, and
special laws are urged faVoring

I shall never forget Ruth Purcell.
Such love as mine cannot die. But
she does not care for me, so why pro-

Wylie Morton spoke like a man
earnestly and bravely, but under the
surface Ross Evans could trace his
deep suffering.
Goodbye, WyHe, if it must be
that, said Ross with genuine feeling.

But now-his step qUickened, his
eye grew brighter. Ruth Purcell did

rejected.
Still, she was kindly toward him.
There had come of late a strange, far

of whom neither he nor Wylie had

himself known and Ross was puzzled.
He was encouraged, too. Ruth's par

sister was Ruth's chosen friend. By
the end of six months she was con-
slant caller at the Purcell home. Then
he tried his chances again. Ruth hest

it could not be.
Then one evening he came in great
haste and excitement to the Purcell

his friend was lying sick unto death
at lonely logging camp in Oregon.

MADE HIMSELF SAFE.
Young Becsemer Had Cautious as
Wall as an Inventive Head.

The most trivial incidents have often
originated the fortunes of our richest
men. Take. for example. the fortunes
made ont of Bessemer steel. This
genius. young Bessemer. had some idea
of making steel out OF iron. but n
poor newly married young man has
no means of experimenting on large
scale. The story must tell as heard
it from an intimate friend Of Bessemer
and is a true tale.
After Bessemer had in his small lab
oratory experimental with the metals
and at last obtained the desired result
by blowing air through melted iron he
found in the bottom Of the crucible a
little lump of the famous steel. Now
the question was how to make the dis
cOvery public. He put the lump Of
steel into his pocket and made his way
to Nasmyth Of steam hammer fame.
Placing the metal on Nasmyth's desk.
he told him that he had made this ex-
traOrdinary discovery. which would
revolutionize the whole metal world.
Then came little incident which
shows what wonderful heads these
Scotch fnanciers possess. What do
you think Nasmyth said TO his excited
inventor?
"Eh. mon. it's vary risky to show
your wonderful invention. The world
is vary dishonest"
To which the aspiring inventor re-
piled:
