And from the brown-handed children

heart of many a poor parent is that,
try as they may, pinch, save, deny
themselves of anything but the bare
necessities of life, they are unable to
give their boys a start in the world.
They see the sons of well to do par
ents making ready to go to college.
Theirs must go forth from place to
place seeking employment, be brought
face to face for the first time with
curt coldness, ~harshness of refusal
and continued disappointments, until
the most buoyant heart grows heavy
and almost disconsolate. There's no
one to speak for the boy. He brings
no letter of introduction. Despite his
eagerness and ambition he sees anoth-
er lad, whom he knows to be a dough-
head and a shirker of work, secure the
place that he SO craved. His ambition
may have been to be in a lawyers Of
flce. But If there's only a vacancy IN
q bowling alley Or as a printers devil
he must take one of these.
It's not a case of what he's fitted
for, but wha place he can find open.
He must earn his own way. Bread
must be got at the cost of flesh and
blood, ambition or aptitude. The
mother encourages her boy the best
she can. With many a heart throb
and striving to keep back the tears
she folds away the neat clothes she
had prepared for him to look tidy
among lawyers and fine men. He will
not need them in the machine shop in
which he had secured a job as helper.
Though such mothers may grieve at
the ime, il they could but realize it.
whatever is. Is best. Environment will
not stamp out ambition from a mans
heart. God mixes much good in the
cup of sorrow. The boy knows better
thar to Join the crowd Of young men
who dissipate.
He cannot afford to be inclined that
way for two reasons: His earrings will
not admit of it. The young mechanic,
Of all men. follows the rule: early to
only retain his job but forge ahead.
Most. If not all. Of the heads OF great
enterprises AVE begun as apprentice
boys at the bench M are proud to
tell 1t. It's the man who knows the
business from the bottom to the top
who is called up in cases of emergen-
cies suddenly to take the reins. AS
boy and man. too much knowledge Of
any business ann be had-the more
the better. Poverty is a great inceu-
tive at the outset of a boys career TO
cause him to battle manfully to put
himself beyond its dread sting. In
stead Of being a drawback, it is the
greatest blessing he could have known.
The college boy can afford to sit
back n wait on what father has ac-
cumulated. The poor boy must fight
every inch of his way. He is sure to
win in life's battle.

BUREAU RECEIVES WIDE
VARIETY OF INQUIRIES

Washington, D.. C.-An example OF
the wide variety of queries that the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, Department of Commerce, is
constantly receiving is furnished by an
inquiry about compaign buttons in a
Latln-Amerfcan country. A manufac-
turer in the United States is to make
the buttons, and has asked the bureau,
through n of it's branch offices, what
the rates of duty are on this class of
goods in the country TO which they are
to be sent.
A steady stream of letters to the
bureau brings questions about foreign
tariff rates in various Central and
South American countries, about rail-
road fares, economic conditions, mar
kets for specific products, and innum-
cradle other subjects elate to trade,
especially the trade of the Latin repub-
lies to the south. American merchants
the attention of that section of the
world on it's shopping tours
An inquiry which involves the study
of railroad fares for various points in
practically all the South American
countries means considerable research
by the bureau, but it furnishes the in
formation as promptly as possible. An
other correspondent desires informa-
ton about the varieties and quantities
OF fruit to be found among the products
OF south America, and the particular
locations of the varieties. In this in
stance, also the bureau gives careful
attention to the task of delving for the
required facts.
Some manufacturers call for infor-
nation which, as a rule, will have to
be obtained from the agents of the
Bureau of Foreign II Domestic Com
merce in the field. One firm asks about
the market for gas tips for open flame
gas jets. Another, which makes Bab-
bit metal bearings, would like to know
what chance there is of selling anti
friction bearings in South America.
h bureau has been asked to xplai
the triangular method of settling trade
between South America and
the United States by way of Europe,
and the amounts involved. Persons in
In foreign trade also take up
other economic questions. In fact, var
1ety characterizes each days mail of
the bureau, II South America is re-
celving special attention. The same
that brought the query about
campaign buttons contained a letter
from a manufacturer who desired in
about rates of duty on cab
files to be shipped to a Latin
American country.
All these communications are re-
the careful attention of the bu-
reau, and the government officials find
in them pleasing evidence of broader
to extend American trade,

SCIENCE AND THE SCHOLAR.
BY John Burroughs.

The great ages Of the world have
not been ages of exact science;
nor have the great hteratures, in
which SO much of the power and
vitality Of the race have been
stored, sprung from minds which
held correct views Of the physical
universe. Indeed. If the growth
and maturity of mans moral and
intellectual stature were a question
of material appliances or conyen-
fences, or OF accumulated stores of
exact knowledge, the world OF to-
day ought to be able to show more
eminent achievements in all fields
fore.
But this it cannot do. Shakes
peare wrote hiss plays for people
who believed. in witches and prob
ably believed in. them himself:
Dante's immortal poem could never
have been produced in a scientific
age. 1t Is likely that the Hebrew
scriptures would have been any
precious to the race, or their
influence any deeper. had they
been inspired by correct views of
physical ~scienceS

WANTS WRITTO STOP
AUTO MUD SPLASHING
Natchez Transfer Man Can't Sit Out
Front at Night For Motorists.

Natchez, Miss, Sept. 1S.--J. N. Rat
lift, transfer man of this city, is
contemplating getting an injunction
to restrain the automobiles that pass
his place of business from scattering
him with mud as he sits in front. He
is peeved, vexed and perturbed in
spirit and the fact that he cannot de,
termine whether to, proceed against
the autos, the municipal sprinkling
system of the waterworks company
has not lessened his ire, but it is prob
able that he will first demand satisfac-
tion of the automobiles, as they are the
immediate cause of his discomfort
Some time since the water company,
in repairing a main, left a depression
in the pavement directly in front of
where Mr.. Ratliff is accustomed to sit.
In this hole quantity of mud and
water collects whenever the street Is
sprinkled. An automobile passing
over this direction causes discharge
of mud like~a Teutonic attack upon a
Russian fortress. Mr. Ratliff submit
ted to the deluge on his spotless palm
beaches, as philosophically as possible,
but when piece of gravel of 16-inch
caliber struck his starboard eye he
considered it breach Of neutrality
and decided that the time had arrived
to sever all diplomatic relations.
