THE RACE FOR RICHES.
Is Wealth That Cannot Be En-
joyed Worth the Price?
The writer once inquired
of a
very successful man :
"When do you ever get a mo
ment's lime for your own self to i
be yourself and to think your own
thoughts? Do you ever get aj
time like that?" j
The very successful man hesita-!
ted for a moment and then replied: 1
"VC'hy, yes, I gel such a lime ;
while I am being shaved in the ,
morning." !
Is success really worth the price !
when it must be paid for at such a ;
rate ? Of what use are mansions i
and country houses and great es- (
tates if one has no time to visit j
ihem and enjoy their beauty?;
Why should one collect through t
agents the most exquisite works of ;
art if he cannot find more than ai
casual half hour in which to view ;
them ? What are wife and chil-:
dren if you are always hastening j
about the world, far too preoccu- j
pied to give them any serious '
thought or to receive the pleasure
which their company could afford
you ?
And yet ihere is one sole satis
factionif it be a satisfaction.
Millions of your fellow countrymen
and countrywomen will believe
beyond all doubt that you are real
ly happy and will envy you.

COUNTRY
When early birds are singing and dew is on the grass,
I listen for the carol of the pretty country lass;
She's on her way to milking; I know it by the pail
And by her cneerful ditty, which floats upon the gale.
She is so spry and active she seemsto spring along
As if her feet were keeping to measure of her song.
The lowing of the cattle and the mooing of the cow
Seem speaking in kine language, "Our friend is coming now."
Her lips are like the roses that bloom upon the burn;
Her cheeks are like the cherries when they begin to turn;
Her eyes as black as charcoal, or sloes the summers bring;
Her hair so black it glistens like glint of raven's wing.
There's no deceit about her, she never acts a part;
She's unsophisticated, but near to Nature's heart
Knows nothing of belles-lettres or scientific things,
Yet she can serve a supper that's good enough for kings.
She never heard of Homer, can't conjugate a verb,
Yet her biscuits are delicious and her butter is superb;
A comfort to her mother, in kitchen, with the kine,
And though her lot is lowly, her mission is divine.
And she's a real treasure, to those who wish to find
A wife and woman truly of good, old-fashioned kind,
Who makes man's home a heaven, though humble it may be,
For in it dwells an angel none truer hare than she.
THE BISHOP STAYED.
The bishop of a Southern dio
cese was once making a missiona
ry journey through Arkansas and
the Indian Territory, and on his
arrival at Natchez he said to the
landlord of a hotel. "I have been
traveling for a week, day and night,
in a mail wagon, and I want a
comfortable room."
"Sorry," said the landlord, "bui
I don't believe there's a vacant
room in Natchez; there's a horse!
race, a Methodist conference and a
political convention in the city, and
every house is full up. The only
thing I can give you is a shake
down." Then observing the bish
op's tired face he added : "The
best room in my house is rented to
a noted gambler, who usually re-
mains out all night and seldom
j gets in before breakfast. If you
i will lake the risk you shall have
: this room; but if lie should come
in there 11 be a row, I II promise
that."
The bishop decided to take the
risk. About four o'clock in the
morning the gambler returned and
promptly shook the bishop by the
arm.
"Get out of here or I'll put you
out!" he shouted.
The bishop, the gentlest of men,
raised himself on one elbow,
so that it brought the muscles of
his arm into full relief.
"My friend," he began quietly,
before you pui me out, will you
have the kindness to feel of my
arm
The gambler put his Jiand on
the bishop's arm.
"Stranger," he ihen said re
spectfully. "you can stay."
PATERNAL LOVE.
A young mother went upstairs
one evening to be sure that her
son was safely sleeping. As she
paused at the door of the nursery
she saw her husband standing by
the side of the crib, gazing earn
estly at the child.
As she stood still for a moment,
touched by the sight, tears filled
her eyes, and she thought, How
dearly Frederick loves that boy !"
Imagine the shock to her feelings
when he suddenly turned toward
her and said :
"Amelia !" It is incomprehen
sible lo me how they can get up
such a crib as this for three dollars
and. sixty cents

Judge Says
Trust"
He Started "Beef
Investigation.
Judge Kenesaw M. Landis, in
his charge to the Federal grand
jury to investigate the methods of
the socalled "beef trust," declared
it was through information by him
that the present proceeding was
started,
KEEP UP COURAGE.
Don't be discouraged if occas
ionally you slip down by the way,
and others tread on you a little. In
other words, don't let a failure dis
hearten you; accidents will happen,
miscalculation will sometimes be
made, things will turn differently
to our expectations, and we may
be sufferers. It is worth while to
remember that fortune is like the
skies in the month of April, some
times clear and favorable, and the
man who never failed may be
counted a myth, in fact such a man
never lived and is never likely to.
All success is a series of efforts,
in which, when closely viewed,
are seen more or less failures. The
mountain is apt to overthrow the
hill but a hill is a reality neverthe
less. If you fail now and then
don't be discouraged. Bear in mind
it is only the part and experience
of every successful man, and the
most successful men often have
the most failures.
ORIQINOF THE OATH.
Among the different nations the
mode of administering the oath
varies. Formerly the custom was
in this country by kissing the Bi
ble. At the present lime the more
general manner is by raising the
right hand.
Among the many things for
which the world is indebted to the
Jew is the mode of administering
the oath. It dates back to the
days of Abram, the patriarch, who
when offered by the king of Sodom
to take the goods to himself made
answer, "I have lift up mine hand
unto the Lord, the most high God,
the possessor of heaven and earth,
that I will not take from a thread
even to a shoe lachet and that I
will not take anything that is thine
lest thou shouldst say, I have made
Abram rich." Detroit News-Tribune.
"NO LIE CAN LIVE FOREVER."
Starvation has been known
among the French commonalty be
fore this known and familiar. Did
we not see them in the year 1775
crcscntinc, in sallow faces, in
wretchedness and raggedness,their
petition of grievances and for an
swer getting a brand new gallows
forty feet high? Hunger and dark
ness through long years !
Where will this end? In the
abyss, one may prophecy, whither
all delusions are, at all moments,
traveling, where this illusion has
now arrived, for if there be a faith
from of old it is this, as we often
repeat that no lie can live forever.
The very truth has to change its
vesture from time to time and be
born again. But all lies have the
sentence of death written down
against them in heaven's chancery
itself and, slowly or fast, advance
incessantly toward their hour.
Carlyle, "The French Revolution
Running for office is the best
way to learn what people think of

A PADEREWSKI STORY.
The Great Musician's first Impor
tant Engagement in Paris.
Paderewski's first engagement
as a pianist was in Paris. He was
engaged to play in the drawing
room of a lady famous for her
musicales, and his fee, which
seemed to him enormous, was
$20. He managed to persuade the
humane agent to pay him in ad
vance, and when Paderewski had
redeemed his dress suit from pawn
and paid for shoes, gloves, ties,
and other essentials he had no
money left for cab hire, so he was
forced to walk to the scene of his
engagement.
The music loving audience in
spired him. He played with feel
ing inspired, and mastery of his
instrument as never before. His
success was instant and unmistak
able. The poor player had sud
denly become the lion of the hour,
his dream had become a reality,
and fortune and fame were assured
him.
At last after disengaging himself
from his admirers he turned to
leave, when his hostess, remem
bering with regret the smallness of
the fee for so mavelous a perform
ance, offered him her carriage for
his return home. But Paderewski's
pride came to the rescue. In his
courteous yet reserved way he
made a formal bow, and, saying :
"No thank you, madame; my own
is waiting," he stepped out for his
long walk homeward.
ANATOMY.
A More or Less Helpful Lesson
For Beginners.
Proceeding in a southerly direc
tion from the torso we have the
hips, useful for padding, and the
legs. The legs hold up the body
and are sometimes used in walk
ing, but when riding in automobiles
they take up valuable space which
otherwise might be employed to
better advantage. ,
Attached to the legs are the feet.
Some varieties of the feet are cold.
Some people are born with cold
feet, others acquire cold feet, and
still others have cold feci thrust
upon them.
The surface of the body is cov
ered with cuticle, w Inch either
hangs in graceful loops, or is
stretched lightly from bone to bone.
On the face it is known as com
plexion and is used extensively for
i commercial purposes by dormato
! logists, painters and decorators.
' Between the cuticle and the
I bones are the muscels, which hold
the bones together and prevent
them from falling out and littering
up the sidewalk as we walk along.
Packed neatly and yet compact
ly inside the body are the heart,
the liver and the lungs; also the
gall, which in Americans is abnor
mally large.
The organs are used occasional
ly by the people who own them,
but their real purpose is to furnish
surgeons a living Thomas L. Ma
