Mrs, Charlotte Rushworth.
Always Diplomatic.

When Daniel Webster was quite young at school he was one day guilty of a gross violation of the rules, and was called up by the teacher for punishment On the way he spat upon the palm of his right hand and wiped it on the side of his pan taloons Give me your right hand," the teacher commanded. Out went the right hand, partly cleaned. The teacher looked at it a minute and then said: Daniel. if you will find another hand in the school as filthy as that, I will let you off this time" Instantly from behind his back came Webster's left hand, accompanied
 by the reply: Here it is. sir" He was sent to his seat.
 Although Daniel and his brother were sent to college their father thought that the former should give some return for the money spent. So he put scythes into their hands and ordered them into the fields to mow with him. Daniel made a few sweeps with his scythe and then told
 his father it didn't hang right. His ia. | ther fixed it and Webster went to work again. but with no better success Some. | thing was the matter with his scythe, hs declared. It was again tinkered and again it was found at fault. | Hang it to suit yourself" his fathel l declared.
 With an expression of great composur, Webster hung it on the next tree, and as
 suming a grave air, said:
 'It hangs very well now. I am per fectly satisfied" d."-Detroit News.

camaIiel of the Bible.

Warren Gamaliel is the full name of President Harding. Gamaliel is not a common name, but it had an honorable ancestry. The original Gamaliel was a Bible chafaeter. He lived in the fifteenth century, B. C., and was one of the takers of the first census of the people of Israel. He was the son of Pedahzur, and prince of the children of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, whose father, Amos, was king of Judah. When the Lord commanded Moses to number the children of Israel from twenty years up that were able to go to war, Gamaliel was among those named to assist in the census. He was in the list of those of whom the Bible says: These were the renowned of the con gregation, princes of the tribes of their fathers. heads of thousands in Israel"
 On the eighth day of the dedication of the tabernacle, Gamaliel's offering consisted of one silver charger weigh Ing 1S0 skekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, both filled with fine four mingled with oil for meat, of tering; one golden spoon of ten shekels full of incense; one young bullock, one ram, one lamb of the first year, for a burnt offering; one kid of the goats for . sin offering; two oxen, five he goats and five lambs of the first year for a sacrifice or peace offering. = Detroit News.

Man Who RuIes RaiIruads

For sixteen years, 1890 to 1906, Ed gar Erastus Clark. chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission, wsa chief of The Order of Railway Con ductors of America. When Theodore Roosevelt was serving as President in what is loosely called his first term, he made a speaking tour through the South, timing his journey so as to be in Chattanooga during a convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men, of which organization he was to be made an honorary member.
 MT. Clark also went to Chattanooga and Mir. Roosevelt and he talked the same night from the same platform to the same audience. Clark spoke with out notes and when he left the noor President Roosevelt grasped his hand heartily and said: You are a man of unusual good sense"
 That meeting, or that speech, brought a great change in Mir. Clark's life. The very next month President Roosevelt appointed him a member of the arbi- tration committee, agreed to by opera tors and miners, for the settlement of the now historic coal strike. Four years later President Roosevelt made Mir. Clark a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Both Presi- dent Taft and President Wilson have honored Mir. Clark with reappoint- ments.-The Nations Business.

billions. A few years ago a prophet made hold to say that eventually the American people would spend as much to run automibles as they spend to have railroads. Eventually seems to be now.
 In contemplating a growth lflrs this mere figures only numb. It is better to use them as a guide to the con- temptation of a country so great that it can do such things and still live. The amount of labor diverted to auto mobile building, the drafts that have been made on Nature for iron and oil; the making of new highways that have been needed since all America started to motor-these are the actual costs that have followed the success of the internal combustion engine
 The business man will wonder when the motorcar field will reach the sat- alarming question. If it should be assumed that situation has about ar- rived and that 10,0e0, 900 cars are the limit for this country, there would still be great future for the industry. Replacing 10000, 900 cars would mean steady demand for 2.000, 900 cars annually, five years being the generally accepted life of motor vehicle.
 The pessimist will see waste in hay ing a car for every ten or eleven Am ericans. He will talk of joyriding. of unnecessary travel. of wild extrava- gance. But the optimist will think of comfortable travel. of joyous evcur- sions to the country. of the swift con venience which the automobile ha. | brought into the commercial world Everybody who has a car thinks h, needs it, and Americans demand wha they think they need - New Yorl | Herald

Are the Poor .Mis.rahl., 2

When I look at MT. Glasworthy's frightened lips, feel certain that they are drawn closely together, not to pre- vent himself from forgetting his indif- ference to himself, but to prevent him from pouring out his anger at wrong and cruelty suffered by other people His hatred of injustice possesses him like fury, so that l expert to find his hands always clenched.
 There are times, indeed, when he all lows his feeling for others, human and animal, to destroy his sense of propor- tion; and he will sometimes imagine that people or beasts are suffering a great deal more of pain than they real ly are, even that they are suffering when in fact they are not suffering at all. This is the complaint most com monly made of him by his critics, that he sometimes exaggerates the extent to which people and, particularly, animals suffer.
 When was a child remember that I often read in sentimental Sunday school books of slum children who never smiled and had never seen grass. I suppose that fundamentally I have a skeptical mind, for even then 1 found myself doubting whether there were any children in the world who had never seen grass. Grass is so persist enti~ I knew that a street had only to be free of traffic for a short while and little blades of grass would begin to push up from between the cobbles! It might be that slum children never. smiled-though ] was dubious of that-but all of them must have seen some grass some time
 Then I grew up and left Ulster and went to England and for two or three years lived the confines of slum in South London. where I discovered that my sentimental authors were sen- l timental liars, that poor people do not live lives of incessant misery, that they smile and laugh as often as, If not more | frequently than, rich people, and are | fully as happy as any one else. Hap piness and unhappiness are condition of the spirit, and provided a man has sufficient food to eat and a decent shel- ter and warm clothes. it matters very little whether he be rich or poor.
 MT. Glasworthy Is not always al sensible of this as he might be. Like many idealists, he attaches more i'm portance to material things than many materialists do. He lets himself be too easily persuaded that thing is wront
 because 1t looks wrong.-St JohI Ervine, in North American Review.
