Proper Time to Quit Work.


An old patternmaker in one of the
foundries in Minnesota, having reached
his hundredth year and having worked
constantly from the time he was ten
years old. has determined to quit in
order that his place may be taken by a
younger man. He is in good health
and spirits. but says. with great gen.
crosby, that he thinks the time has
come when he should give some other
fellow a chance. This furnishes strik-
ing contrast with the two New York
men who. having acquired a compe-
tence, retired at the age of fifty.
This naturally brings up the aues-
ton as to when a man should retire
from active work. Should he quit at
fifty, or seventy-five or a hundred? IL
is a difficult question to answer. A
great deal depends upon circumstances.
1t is quite easy to see how the New
York men who retired at fifty and the
Minnesota man who worked until he
was a hundred might all have been
right II employment is congenial there
is much more happiness in work than
in idleness. and yet, if one has :he
means. much satisfaction comes from
the sort Of travel and study which
broadens the mind.
However. comparatively few persons
are called upon to answer this question
of retirement. Most of us must work
to live, and we thus avoid such trou-
blesome problems.

The greens are welcome. but the flow

pear attractive to the idle eye. Yet per-
sons who own lawns have a srud2e
against dandelions.
The dandelion is AN efficient plant.
1t is most eXcellently adapted to its job
Of keeping alive and spreading itself
over the face of the earth. Except in
early spring. its leaves are too bitter
to be eaten by man or by animals. They
lie HAT on the earth so that grazing
beasts may tread on them without kill
ing the plant. The roots take strong
hold. The length of the elastic stem
which bears up the blossom is deter
mined by the height of the other vege-
tation in which the dandelion finds it,
self On close cropped lawn, the
dandelionS stem is stubby. in tail
grass, it reaches up toward the sun.
It's seeds fly lightly and far on every
breeze. The dandelion. beginning to
blossom now. will raise a series of seed
crops extending up almost to the first
snowfall.
The dandelion might well be distia-
guished as a symbol of persistence and
hardihood. cheerful and vigorous under
all conditions. instead of being treated
as a pest.

PATRIOTISM NO MATCH
FOR DRINK APPETITE
Secretary Bryan's Argument fol
Total Abstinence Drawn From
the European War.

NEW YORK, May For half an hour
after the close of a meeting last night
under the auspices of the National Alb
stainers' Union, at which Secretary
of State Bryan was the principal
speaker, Mr.. Bryan sat at a small table
on the rostrum at Carnegie Hall and
signed pledges Of total abstenance with
hundreds of people in the audience. He
said that if he was unable to meet the
demands of the people present. he
would spend Sundays signing and re-
turning the cards if his hearers would
forward them to him in Washington.
Secretary Bryan declared. in his adj
dress. that the European war had dem
onstrated that even patriotism was
ho1 cultivates in its victims. The Sec
rotary was urging total abstinence, and
referred to restrictive measures which
some of the be1ligerent nations had
taken against intoXicants.
There has been growing disposition
in this country, and throughout the
world, to emphasize the evils of strong
drink" he said, but even the most en-
thusiastic advocates of temperance
have been surprised at the CHASTITY ligh,
which the war in Europe has thrown
upon the subject.
Patriotism Versus Appetite.
1T has been found that patriotism
that compelling force which Throughout
the ages has led men to offer their lives
for their country. is no match for the
appetite which alcohol cultivates IL
its victims. Loyalty to Bacchus, Gam.
brinus and Barleycorn is greater thar
loyalty to king. kaiser or czar. The
- 1~;v
destructive of efficiency that the bel
ligerent governments. not on mora,
grounds. but purely on economic
grounds, have been compelled to resor,
to restrictive measures. The aeroplan nc
that drops its bomb from above and
the submarine which shoots it's torpedo
from below are less to be feared thar
the schooner that crosses the bar"
Mr.. Bryan declared that drink led tc
idleness. and that American business
men were drawing the lines more
strictly against the use of alcohol by
employees.
Total abstinence. he remarked, was a
virtue even behind the bar"
Amount Spent for Drink.
Mr. Bryan said the amount spent an
nually for drink in the United States
would build 100 macadam highways
across the continent, and added:
THE amount now expended in paving
the road to perdition would. if spent
for good roads, soon lift the mud EN-
barge from the entire country.
LAS for myself. while ! have definite
views as to the means that should be
employed for solving the Legislative
problem presented by the liquor traf-
fic / shall confine myself tonight to
the first line of argument. and appeal
to those present and to those whom I
may reach through the press to take
their position as individuals on the side
of total abstinence"

Successful as Business Town.

Trieste is tremendously successful
business town, and, therefore, largely
a modern one. Its harbor facilities are
the best that modern technique can de-
wise. and many millions of dollars have
been expended in carrying their un-
derta king to conclusion. In 1910 nearly
1000 vessels. representing total of
about 100000 tonnage, entered and
cleared a the Trieste 1arbor The value
of the imports which these ships
brought was about s117.OOO,o0 while
they carried exports amounting in
value to about $102,000.00O. The chief
imports are coffee, rice. cotton, spices.
ore. coal. olive oil and Levantine
fruits. Chief among the exports are
sugar, beer. wool, timber and many
varieties of manufactured goods 1t is
worth while considering in view of
the present international crisis into
which Trieste enters as an element, that
the opening of the Tauern railway in
1909 has accomplished much in divert
ing great part of the German Medi-
terranean trade from Genoa to Trieste
Together with a surrounding area of
about thirty-six square miles. the city
of Trieste forms an Austrian crown
land The municipal council of the city
constitutes at the same time the diet
of the crown land. which is little more
than a mountainous shell around the
immensely wealthy. life-crowded port.
