Ha hid outlived his days of use fulness, everybody said. Younger, quicker, more progressive men were to be had for the taking by the firm that employed John Watson. The man himself heard the talk that was current in the machine room, and because of his very de sire vto prove that he was not . sup erannuated, grew nervous, made mistakes, although not one in the whole shop was a better master of his trade, or knew more about the business iu which he had grown old. Watson did not consider himself disqualified by age to serve the sons of the man whose Employ he had entered when he was youuger than these "boy" manufacturers were to-day: but he could not fail to understand the impatience at his slowness manifested by his younger fellow -employes, men whose ability to turn off work he knew was valuable to the firm. And so every day he grew more and more nervous and clumsy, waiting for the summons to the office, where he wouid be told that his services were no longer required. Possibly the sous and successors of the founder of thebusiuess notic ed the strain under which the old gestions that were revolutionary or absolutely vital, yet, on the whole he brought to the notice of the young men of the firm ? great many things it was weHJand profitable for them to know, and which they never would have known but for him. Then one morningthe employers found the desk unoccupied when they came in. The younger brother took a car which carriedjhim to the old man's home. An old lady an swered his knock, her eyes bright with unshed tears. "He went at midnight, sir,'' she said, divining who her caller was, 'He felt so sorry to leave you iu the lurch. When he found he was goiug he didn't have time to say much, only that, but he said he did not doubt you'd get along somehow and he was glad he'd been able to advise you as long as he had. It's a great comfort to know you've been able to help folks." The youug man walked back to the factory. He felt that he did not wish to ride, but rather to be by himself. At the office he repeated the old wife's story to his brother and the elder man said. "Well! Hal. it's a comfort to know you've been able to help folks. I'm el ad we did it." To-Am end Judicial Procedure 'New York, Aug; 16. Courts of appeal will no longer decide either civil or criminal litigatioa brought before them on purely technical points, but will base their rulings on the merits of the cases, if the recommendations formulated by a special committee of the American Bar Association shall become law. The committee was appointed by the association at its last 'annual meeting to suggest remedies and draft proposed laws to prevent de lay and unnecessary cost iu litiga tion. Its report will be presented at the annual meeting to be held in Seattle from August jttth to 2Sth. It opens with a statement that the existing evil which seems most serious to the committee is the dis position in many jurisdictions to dispose of appeals, or writs of er ror, bothiu civil and criminalases, upou technical grounds and not to decide thera upon the merits. In the judgment of the committee, the rule for deciding appeals and writs of error, should not be based upon reveisible error committed in the court below, but upon the merits as the case appears upon the re cord. Continuing, the report calls at tentiou to the fact that the tend encv of the courts in commou law cases is to construe adherence to ki.

Bryan described, in an article in Collier's some of the qualifications of the model Pres dent. He says he should have "moral courage." He should be able "to detect the sophistries" that are always employed by ' spec ial interests" seeking "unfair ad vantage." He should look on him self as "committed by his platform to certain principles, and those principles are binding." Mr. Bryan could have given life and emphasis to his observations by mentioniuga President a Dem ocratic one at that who possessed these presidential qualifications in triple measure. Few occupants of the White House have equaled U rover Cleveland in moral courage. le was an intense party man. He gloried in its defeats. But he had the moral courage to stand up against his party when it went mad over free silver. He knew that he would be excommunicatetl, that most Democrats would villify and curse him, and that his course would contribute to the defeat of his party. Yet he never faltered. Mr. Bryan never has favorod the public with anv manifestation of a moral courage approaching that. Cleveland was able "to detect the sophistries" of the silver-mine owners and dishonest debtors who hankered after 50-cent dollars. He was not to be moved by the appeals of "special interests" for free silver legislation. The platform on which Mr. Cleve- iand was elected in 1892 pledged the party to the maintenance of "the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in the Davment of debts." President Cleveland kept that pledge, though it called for much selling of bonds and buying of gold all contrary to Mr. Bryan's wishes. Cleveland incurred great odium in many quarters because he kept the faith but he had that moral courage which Mr. Brvan says a mora President should be endowed with A Car Load Congb Roofing. a 1 Ply per Square 2 Ply per Square 3 Ply per Square S1.75 2.50 f 3.00 Congo has never been offered at these prices before.
