POVERTY OF WEALTH.
'rhsrO Are Many, Many Thlhss That
 Money Cannot Buy.


 If you have wealth you can purchase e hundred outfits of wearing apparel but you can only wear one at time. Socrates never owned but one pair of shoes, but his name is immortal If you have wealth you can purchase beautiful paintings and adorn your home with statues. That wouldn't bring you happiness. If you have wealth you can purchase furniture in- laid with gold and upholstered with nne fabrics, That doesnB mean con tentment.
 Ifyou have wealth you can purchase q great park and erect splendid man. sion, but tradition tells ug that there was a very happy man who lived in a tub and when the king came to see him and asked what be could desire from the king Diogeneg replied, ~That you would step from between me and the sun" Ifyou have wealth you can possess an organ with golden pipes, but Beethoven composed bis immortal symphonies on a'cheap harplSchord. If you have wealth you can equip . lux urious studio, but Turner painted in 8 garret and mixed bis colors in a broken teacup.
 Money can purchase copies of Sir Joshua Reynolds, but God gives the sunset away free. Money can employ musicians to perform for 2 private con- cert, but the song of the lark in the tree and the music of chidren's laugh ter is for the millionaire and the poor man alike. Wealth cannot purchase the great things of life. It cannot buy a contented mind and @ serene life. It cannot purchase goodness and beauty. Dale H. Carnagey in Leslie's.

CURBING THE MISSISSIPPI.
Father oF Waters at TimOs Becomes an
 Unw0Ieome Guest.

Father of Waters at Timos Becomes an
 unwOIeome Guest.
 When the Father of Waters comes to town with. all his family, as he does every ten or eleven years, we hope at some near time hereafter to exert control over our visitor through the many millions congress has provided. The Father of Waters himself is 6 genial old friend on most occasions, but when he comes down the valley with the swollen Illinois, Wisconstn, Missouri, Platte, Kaw and innumerRble other streams on his back St. Louis finds him like an intoxicated guest, hard to manage and utterly unwelcome.
 Old Mississippi is to be made to take a more circumspect path and not stag ger all over the adjacent country. In fact, we do not wish him to stop at all, but hurry through and begone with him to the gulf as fast as he can make his way. Most of our water is believed to come from the gulf of Mexico, and We wish to return 1t after we have used all we can by absorption. We are no gluttons, and enough Mississippi is enough. We adore 1t fourteen feet through the valley" but not forty-two. ' We are not yet entirely familiar with the plans by which flood control is to be brought about, but we judge. that the river is to be compelled to act with more deliberation in It's rising and fall ing, which is the best thing that can be done until man finds a way to stay or cut loose the ratns.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Too Much For Him.

voltaire could not speak much Eng lish. The reason why he refused to study the language is this: It was drilled into him that plague" was pronounced "plaig," which hs thought very pretty and acceptable, But right on top of it he was introduced to "agus," which his teacher Said must be called "a-gue." Finding 1t impossible to reconcile the difference. he went of into 6 philosophical tantrum and drop ped the, study.

Repair Ship Mysterious.

The manufacture of a large part Of
machinery to replace anything broken
is almost impossible in the limited
space of the battleship's machine
shops. But wondrous feats are per-
formed in the repair ships that ac-
company fleets on stations remote
from dock facilities, states British
war correspondent.
The repair ship is huge floating
smithy and machine shop packed with
everything that the wit of man can
concentrate into the space for treat
ing wounded battleships. These ships
employ some of the best artificers
from our naval dockyards and are
scattered in every quarter in which
the British fleet is stationed remote
from dock facilities. The Boche has
nothing like them and 1t has been
stated that no inquisitive Boche has
ever been allowed to intrude his nose
aboard one to investigate it's mysteries
and take the information to his en-
ployers Of how the strange feats per
formed By the repair ship are effsctsd.
The repair ship is the abode Of sscrsts.
