THE DOLLAR CHASERS

JUST why big, splendid men will kill
themselves in their mad greed for
j money is one of the unfathomable
mysteries of life, but they do it and seem
to find almost as much pleasure as does
the man who drinks himself to death or
brings his end by other unnatural excess
SeS.
We have in mind man well known
along the range, worth million or more,
who is at the Mayo hospital making a
fight for his life with the chances all
against him, and he never did anything
but hustle for the almighty dollar from
one years end to another.
Up at five O'Clock in the morning, and
started the day with crouch because ev-
eryone in the house wasn't up and hust-
ling at that unreasonable hour. A hurried
breakfast and down to the office where he
stormed if every clerk wasn't exactly on
the dot or little before, and he went
through the whole day long under head
of two hundred pounds Of steam--iUst
grabbing off the dollars. Rare sport, in
deed, but killing Day after day and year
after year he went Oh piling up the mil
!iors, and then his vitality snapped un-
Ger the unnatu,,,. >rain and that,
end of things. The man who drank HIM
self to death is just as we'll off.
He never played, didn't know how and
didn't care to know-idotic to do anything
but chase dollars and wear out the body
and mind He may have found some sort
of crude pleasure in that manner OF llv-
ing, but we cannot understand tive who
live as we go along and regard the world
as place to play in as well as work, and
who are satisfied, too, to let the other fell
low get some of the dollars.
He has missed a life that would mean
something if he had only stopped long
enough to take = zeal good look at him
self, but he will go out and his millions
will avail him nothing. He had more
money than any man can have use for
and the reward for its accumulation is
death lust at the time when he might be
in the fullest enjoyment Of life and all of
it's wonderful blessings.
The man who plays as he goes along
may not store up vast riches for Others
to spend, but he lives, and his living means
something to others than himself.

will reach out and bring them back again.
What fate impends rests in the pre-
carious keeping of the Latin-American
mind-a mind distraught, fanatic, pois-
oned by ignorance, infamed by suspicion
and superstition. If it chooses peace, it
will be peace. If it chooses war, it will be
war, and not a short and easy war. War
with Mexico means a grim housekeeping
"a chore that will cost time and money
and men, but that will be done thorough
ly. If it comes to that, our boys will give
a good account of themselves. We know
that; and we shall get that satisfaction
out of it even if it comes to the tragedy
Of having to do that great chore.
In the meantime, it is we'll to remem-
Der that our boys do not go to Mexico, but
to Fort Smelling; that if and when they
go from there they still do not go to Mex
leo, but to the border to defend it; and
that the summoning of the militia does
not necessarily mean war, but is merely
a sensible provision to meet the unknown
contingencies of delicate situation.
Good luck to our boys! God be with
Them and good fortune and good luck at
tend their going and their returning. The
dashing joyousness of the bugle call and
the sharp command and the steady dis
ciplined march do not wholly check the
tear in the heart, nor can the cheerful,
smiling word of parting quite hide the
choke in the voice.-Duluth Herald.

READING NOTICES
SHUTDOWN. SPLENDID AND SERENE

A late lark twitters from the quiet skies
And from the west,
Where the sun, his days work ended,
fingers as in content,
There falls on the old, gray city
An influence luminous and serene,
A shining peace.
The smoke ascendS
In a rosy -and-golden haze. The spires
Shine and are changed. In the valley
Shadows rise The lark sings on. The sun,
Closing his benediction,
Sinks, AMI the darkening air
Thrills with sense of triumphing night
Night with her train Of stars
And her great gift of sleep.
So be my passing.
My task accomplished and the long day
done,
My wages taken, and in my heart
Some late lark singing,
Let me be gathered to the quiet west,
The shutdown, splendid and serene,
Death. w. =. Henley.

PHYSICALLY FIT

THE large percentage of those physi-
cally unfit among the men who Of
fer to enlist in the militia has prob
ably been surprise to many. The stan
dard of fitness is pretty high but many
young man who has supposed that he was
"all right" has been Jared by the discov-
cry that he can not stand the test. In
many cases the below-grade condition IS
the result of carelessness rather than the
existence Of any permanent disability and
the knowledge of the fact that he is not
taking care Of himself and keeping his
body in the best possible trim for efficient
service may result in the breaking off OF
bad habits or the taking of more care to
observe the rules of health. The human
body is very delicate piece of machinery,
but many men who would not neglect the
oiling and repairing and periodical over
hauling of their automobiles or their fac
tory machinery will let their physical or
ganisms go to ruin because they are too
busy to give them enough attention to
keep them in good repair. Perhaps this
call for soldiers may bring about more
general consideration for the human ma

UNKNOWN ABLE WOMEN

There are few remarkable men in OBJ
security; but millions of the best women
are unknown outside of their own neigh
borhoods. A man who is capable, fair,
polite and Industrious always comes to the
top, in some sort of fashion, but the very
best women are often unknown outside OF
their immediate circle. This is the great
est inequality women suffer. One of the
finest and most useful women ever knew
is not known half dozen miles from
home; but her husband, who doesn't equal
her, has been in the legislature, and is
quite prominent man.-Howe's Monthly.

THESE TROUBLED TINES

THE surging waves CT the worlds troU-
BILE, never so agitated as now, search
out and beat upon the shores of the
remotest hooks of human habitation.
No spot in the world is wholly free from
the shock of the worlds convulsion-
pangs that accompany giving birth to
new history, of what mighty significance
we cannot see One new event, not so
great standing alone, sets in motion a
train of mighty events the world never
is the same again after the far-communl-
eating agitation from this one event has
reached the climax Of its aftermath.
A peasant in an Austrian town kills a
not very valuable archduke, and the world
runs red with blood. The contagious few
er sweeps even nations not concerned, and
a military furore that may wholly and
forever change the character Of the great
est Republic runs through the land.
A benghted neighbor nation, blind and
helpless, leaderless and only vaguely pur-
poseful, recoiling upon ITSELF striking at
itself as the rattlesnake does in It's blind
resentment, threshing about in an agony
of uncertainty and doubt behind it's cur
tain of suspicion and ignorance and super
stition, dwelling in land that is rich and
fair, hungerng and poverty-stricken in
the midst of enormous wealth-that af-
flicted nation dsturbs the peace and dig
nifty of it's great neighbor, and the door
of fate trembles in it's slow opening upon
a new chapter in history and national des-
tiny.
Here in Duluth our own boys-our sons,
our brothers, our friends, our chums, our
sweethearts. our neighbors, our playmates
and workmates suddenly drop their multi
of every day, burgeon out in the drab
colors and the accouterments of sOldiery,
and prepare to go where duty calls. One
day they are calmly following the COM
mon walk of life, and the next day-uni-
forms, guns, belts, all the trappings of
the business of war; the bugle shrilly
calls and they are off, Their accustomed
places-the desk in the office, the bench
in the shop, the seat at the table, the bed
in the home, the place in the household,
all but the nook in the hearts of those
who love them-are empty and know them
no more for time; perhaps, though God
forbid for all time.
There are jubilance and dash and cheer
in the call Of the bugle, the measured
cato command. But there are sadness
and unrest in them too; the breaking of
ties. grim thoughts of the seriousness of
the business of soldering, the far journey,
the long waiting and watching, the doubts
and hopes.
War has touched us at last, with ten
tative finger it is true but Individually
wars finger. We shall hope that this is
all. and that the intruding touch is not a
prelude to the firm grasp of a grim re-
ientless hand. We see these boys making
ready to 90. We glory in their readiness
their alertness, their eager youth, their
confident bearing. We wish them god
speed and good fortune. We want them
to come home again-all Of them. Oul
hearts 90 with them. Our good wishes
and our prayers go with them-and il
