Origins of Presidents.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

(Clncnnatl Enqulrer)
 Our political giants seldom have achieved the office of President during the greater part of the life of the Republic and usually, Executives have come up from modest, sometimes precarious estate.
 Lincoln pale prophet of the years, selected the scholarly Seward Nineteen Presidents were the sons of farmers or of ordinary occupations Three ministers sons and one the son of sexton McKinley's father charcoal manu- facturer. Hardings father a physician. Cool dge came from the stern environment of New England farm. Hoover is the of blacksmith
 Eighteen of Executives have been college graduates. Five had no more than year two of such training. Washington, Jackson and Grover Cleveland had only such formal advantages the common schools could yield For the rest they educated themselves.
 Lincoln had but year of school, and Andy Johnson had at all. Lincoln is immortalized in the consciousness of mankind and Johnson be- came of the Nations outstanding authorities on the Constitution.
 Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt both of whom made impershable history were products of the modern college is Franklin D. Roosevelt
 Truly America is the land of opportunity. Its greatest public office is within the reach of high or humble position in life. Many of those who have sat in the Executive chair were once country or small-town boys at the start Some of them were newsboys.

 Princeton 4, Harvard l, Yale l. is not the score in triangular athletic tourney that has euded the attention of the sport editors The figures designate the number of Rhodes scholarships which the three universities have in the tests just concluded. In all there are thrty-three Rhodes scholars this year. The only universities even to approach the Princeton record are Oklahoma, Virginia and Wis consin with two each The winners the pick of more than 600 candidates. They draw stipend of f40o year for a period of three years at Oxford
 Are this years scholars to be commiserated be- cause their British pounds sterling worth only two-thirds much in other and happier days? It is not altogether forcing connection to point out that thirty-three young Americans ap- pointed to study in Oxford at the expense of the late Cecil Rhodes the day that twenty nine million pounds sterling paid by Great Britain to the United States as an installment on war debts Cecil Rhodes founded the scholarships largely for the purpose of fostering Anglo American unity, and it is natural to ask whether Cecil Rhodes, if he alive today would think he getting his moneys worth.
 At first sight it would not look like it, to judge from recent events On the other hand, the war debts incurred in in which the United States did make cause with England; so Cecil Rhodes bulded well after all

TIMELY ACTION.

The closing of the Juneau schools for few days to permit the subsistence of the prevailing influenza epidemic was timely. There were 249 pupils absent from the public schools yesterday on account of sickness. similar condition prevailed in the Parochial School It is believed that it will not be necessary to keep the schools closed longer than this week. and all are expected to open again Mon day morning. The theatre managers are entitled to praise also for cooperation with Dr. w. J. Pigg, Health Officer, and the schools by barring children from the theatres while schools are closed.
 While the influenza that is so widespread in town of comparatively mild type it is felt that care should be exercised by those who have it that 1t might not develop into something more dangerous and so that the spread may be checked It is agreed that the situation is not alarming, but it is decidedly disagreeabe.

against the golden autumn, had taken the telegram from his pock-
 etbook and was reading it once more.
 She took her way up the hill and presently came within sight of her home.
 In this four-square box of a house had passed all the years of her married life. This afternoon. because she was soon to lose it., she stood for a moment, looking at it; and, for the first time, saw.
 Judith Lodely demanded that things have no nonsense about them; be no more than she could see or touch! Nevertheless, she was a woman who did not feel at ease without certain display of comfort; ample food though she herself, ate little, huge fires, though she never felt the cold, numerous servants, though she really en- waits on itself. Day by day, now, joyed the hearty informality that her life was being emptied of these things and leaving her emotionally face to face with her husband, her crippled son and her self. From thought of eight-year-old Mack she fled, as she had fled since the day of his accident. And thought of herself-detached hon. est thought-was impossible to her; | she had never in her life attempt ed it. But thought of her hus- band came more easily, though in blind-alley fashion. Without his horses and his dogs, what could he do? She tried to imagine him enduring even one day on the tiny income that re- mained to them, but the construc- tive effort was too much for her. Besides, they planned to go abroad and imagination broke down be- fore life in a country that was not England
 She began to cry loudly, exas- peratedly, like a child. She hur- ried into her house and flung herself from room to room.
 She had come to the open win dow of the morning room and, as she stood before it, the sound of the children's voices drifted in. Marks was thin with petulance. Barbara's unusually round and vi- brant for child of six. Her honeygold curls bobbed into view as she darted onto the lawn in pursuit of rolling ball. Before it had been retrieved, Mrs. Lodely saw her husband come from be- hind the shrubs that sheltered Marks spinal carriage and stoop to speak to the beautiful child on the grass.
 Then Sam Lodely went deter ninedly across the lawn down path sentinelled with goldenrod, and shut himself into a distant summer house. Little Barbara Quentin, looking gravely after him, nodded to herself as though she conned over a lesson. The sound of the shot came al- most immediately. Mrs. Lodely climbed olIt of the uyindou, opd ha gan to run, shouting his name. But even her fumbling and baf- fled mind expected no answer. Copyright, 1892, Julia Clef- Addams.)

 T wonder if it would be very unkind of me to slip into the house by the rose-walk? Then l could be finding out if Lionel is able to see him."
 Run along" agreed Mrs. Lodely "Ill just say a few words to Cane thatll give you time. And my regards to your husband and hope"
 But Mrs. Quentin was gone flee ing through the beautiful garden. Mrs. Lodelys relief at not having to frame suitable message to a dying man made her almost her old boistrous self as she stepped out into the drive and began to shout conversation.
 Afternoon, MT. Cane! Coin up to see MT Quentin? I'm afraid he's good bit weaker today. His wife's with him just now. Well, Leila" as the dark-eyed little thing twisted and spun on her fathers hands = when are you comin' to play with Mark and Babe again?"
 She'd like to see little Miss Barbara, now, if she's anywhere about. And if Mrs. Quentin agrees, of course"
 'Fraid Babs isn't home. As a matter of fact, she's stayin' over at our place for bit" Mrs. Lode- ly, embarrassed as always by the mans smirking deference, launch ed into superfluous explanations Seemed the best plan, with things as they are herel though Babs is such a quiet little soul, she wouldn't have been in the way, ex- actly. But then Marks taken such a fancy to her, that's a bless Ing, too; they spend hours togeth- CT Leila must come along and play with them one day soon."
 Very kind of you, I'm sure, Mrs. Lodely. Leila would like it. Would mt you, Leila?"
 .,S There comes our Annie" said Leila pirouetting. Isn't her face redp"
 Both adults turned and MT. Cane, elaborately excusing himself, retraced q few steps and took a telegram from the hand of the girl who came sheepishly up the drive.
 Pompous creature! thought Mrs. Lodely, irritatingly watching the junior partner as he opened and read the telegram. Leila had recaptured his disengaged hand and was hanging upon it in a manner Mrs. Lodely considered common"
 "Ow, daddy! You're squeedging me! Owl"
 The child wriggled free, her face pickered between laughter and tears. Her father looked in her direction and Mrs. Lodely had the impression that he neither saw nor heard her. He folded up the telegram and thrust it into hi. pocket, then almost immediately took 1t out to put it carefully away in pocket book which he pro- duced for the purpose.
 More bad news?" enquired Mrs Lodely. She laughed senselessly T shouldn't have thought weI any of us any more to lose!"
 "Oh, not bad news, no!n returned MT. Cane. "A trivial bushes matter" He spoke so absentl, that Mrs. Lodely waited, attentive for once. But no further infor nation was offered. MT. Cane's neat smirk slid into place agair and his everyday voice uttered a commonplace about the weather
 Mrs. Lodely's mind slow witt years of well-being, relinquishec it's curiosity. A trivial bushes matter. Nothing to do with her
 Nevertheless, after she had ta- ken leave of him, after Leila an6 the little servant had romped pas her on their way out of the gates she looked back. She remembere Afterwards that MT Cane dark

May Shut Off English Gold Supply.
Seattle Times.)

South Africa has thrown a monkey wrench into the machinery of British Empire cooperation Orders have been issued prohibiting the export of gold from that country Practically all the yellow treasure wrenched from the Rand richest of all auriferous properties has gone straight to London, where it has constituted prized of supply for the Bank of England.
 The ruling in South Africa may be due to it's desire that the countrys gold standard shall be maintained despite the fact Britain temporarily has abandoned that policy, but there is more than
 suggestion it is the outgrowth of the hostile atti- tude assumed toward the insular government by the Boer element in the Dominion. Some foreign critics may see in this situation of chickens coming home to roost' while others will marvel at the bad taste of those who have picked Britans hour of trial as the one in which to start heckling it.
