MINISTER'S SONS NOT BAD
Have Been Greatly MaIigned by Old
Saying, Says investigator After
Look Into Records.

A patient investigator has lately ia
ken the trouble TO inquire into the old
saying that ministers sons are likely
TO come TO bad end, and the result
of his research leads him to the con-
viction that a boy is fortunate who is
born into a minister's family.
He finds that one-tu elfth of all the
men whose names appear in "WhOS
Who" are sons of preachers. Four
presidents were sons of ministers
Buchanan, Arthur, Cleveland and Will
son; three of the great Boston group
of writer's, Emerson, Lowell and
Holmes, were of ministerial parentage,
so were Parkman and Bancroft, also
the remarkable Field brothers. Cyrus
W., David Dudley and Stephen J. The
influence of the eminent Jonathan Ed
wards appears to have extended far
down in the line of his descendants,
for the list includes one vice president,
three senator's, thirty judges, sixty au-
thOrs, twelve college presidents, and
not one of the 1894 who were traced
was ever convicted of a crime. The
list of clergymen's distinguished sons
could be greatly extended, for they are
to be found in every line of activity

MIGHT GET TWO EXTRA HOURS
Advocates of Daylight Saving Could
Do IL by Setting Alarms Ahead
as Well as Clocks.

One good thing about compensations
is that they are always ready TO change
10 suit circumstances. That is, of
OF course. what compensations are for.
We have, therefore, no sooner made up
our minds that we shall have TO stay
at home with our backyard gardens
this summer than we are confronted
by the suggestion that our clocks may
be set ahead in order to give us an ex-
ira hour in the garden every evening
says writer in the Indianapolis News.
1t Is easy enough TO understand that
an hour in the garden every evening is
worth many day at summer resort.
There is, to be sure, the difficulty of
getting up an hour earlier every morn
ing, but it would not really seem an
hour earlier. Most of us do not like
getting up in the morning no matter
what time it is, and an hour or so
makes no noticeable difference at that
time of day. As far as all that is con-
cerned there may be some difference
of opinion as to whether the clocks
should be set ahead in order TO give
us that hour in the evening or whether
the alarms on our clocks should be set
ahead in order to give us the extra
hour in the morning. 1t looks on the
face of it as though it might be pos
sible TO get two extra hours out of our
days.

put his arms around the mans neck,
and laid his head against his shoulder

have been his own father.

won't jar him as much as the horse

very briefly about Johnny. but did not

other industries which made the min

Economic Situation of Russia.

The enormous natural riches of Rus
STA have become proverbial-like the
poverty of its populatiOn-that is the
artisans and peasants. In fact, there
are millions of these latter whose an

score dollars per head. Villages are
still numerous where the inhabitants
make, as of old, their own clothes by
the most primitive methods, and only
go to neighboring towns, in order TO
buy groceries or hardware. such as
