Harriman’s Will Fade From Human
Mind, But Oil Magnate’s Never.
Pale Alto,Cal.—In President David
Starr Jordan’s address to the gradu-
ating class at Stanford University, the
subject of which was “The Wealth of
Nations,” reference was made to the
lives of E. H. Harriman and other
great financiers in drawing the lessen
that man’s success in life is not meas-
ured by what he does for himself, but
rather by what he does for humanity.
“In those matters in which the
permanent wealth of nations is con-
cerned, in the long future of mental
and spiritual deveiopment, the name
of Harriman,” said Dr. Jordan, “finds
no place. The name of Newcomb in
the same connection will stand in
larger letters among those who by
life and influence have made this
world a broader and a pefter one.”
Continuing, he said: '“I'te name of
Rockefeller will not suggest Standard
Oil or the association oi monopolies.
The Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research represents one of the wisest
and most far-reaching uses to which
any man’s money can ever be put.”
Origin of the Potato.
The cultivated potato is a native of
the Chilean -and Peruvian Andes, but
extends in original type as far north
as Colorado, where a wild form is oc-
casional. Wild varieties of the po-
tato exist in many parts all over the
world, but nowhere was it cultivated
before the discovery of the western
continent save in North and South
America. It was taken to Europe,
probably from Peru to Spain, early in
the sixteenth century. _ It seems Sir
Francis Drake introduced it into Eng-
land in 1586, though Sir Walter Ral-
eigh is said to have done this the year
before. It was first regarded as a
curiosity, and so remained until the
latter part of the eighteenth century,
though the Royal Society of London
in 1663 recommended it as a possible
safeguard against famine among the
Irish peasantry.—Chicago Journal.

Government By Commission.
David T. Watson of Pittsburg is one
of the leading lawyers of Pennsylva-
nia, as well as a leading Democrat. It
is said he strongly favors the general
adoption of the commission form of
government for cities, not only as a
means of securing greater economy of
administration, but of bringing about
needed civic reforms.
Government by commission brings

the people. Responsibility is now dis-
sipated and lost in a multitudinous
divisibility. The elector is burdened
with so much choice that he has ‘no
choice.
Mr. Watson and Dr. Woodrow Wil-
son are on the right track. Fewer
elective officers and the short ballot
point the way to the reinstatement of
popular rule and the end of the boss
system.—Philadelphia Record,
Character In Handwriting.
- A sceptic of graphology recently
tested the skill of two professors of
the art. To the one he submitted the
handwriting of Vacher, the notorious
criminal, the slayer of peasant wom-
en. The professor without hesitation
pronounced the writer to be a good,
tender-hearted and lovable person,
who would be sooner or later the vie-
tim of his altruism. A psychologist
tested another professor with Ros-
tand’s writing. He would say nothing
until he learned the day of the birth
of the writer. He was told August 1,
1868. After some deliberation the
professor declared that the writer
would be guillotined in 1910, and that
the sensation created would eclipse
that caused by the production of
“Chantecler.”—ILondon Globe.

telligent thought to the feeding of
their children the difference in the
health of the little folks will pay,
many times over, for the small

A mother writes saying: “Our
children are all so much better and
stronger than Shey ever were before
we made a change in the character of
the food. We have quit using pota-
toes three times a day with coffee and
80 much meat.
“Now we give the little folks some
fruit, either fresh, stewed, or canned,
some Grape-Nuts with’ cream, occa-
sionally some soft boiled eggs, and
some Postum for breakfast and sup-
per. Then for dinner they have some
meat and vegetables.
“It would be hard to realize the
change in the children, they have
grown so sturdy and strong, and we
attribute this change to the food ele-
ments that, 1 understand, exist in
Grape-Nuts and Postum.
“A short time ago my baby was

The woman who for any reason

when she realizes that in one sense
she is a failure. She asks herself

people. And the greater success—as
she also begins to observe—is to get
on with women. To get on with men
is much less distinguished, for the
odds are all in her favor. Men are
not critical in their attitude toward
her, and respond quickly to atten-
tion or kindness, seldom questioning
the motives underlying either, as
members of her own sex are prone
to do, says Woman’s Life. It seems
impossible for a certain class of wo-
men to be fair to women; ergo, it is
equally impossible for them to get on
with other women.
Widow Pays For Breach of Promise.
A widow of fifty-four years in Lon-
don has been ordered to pay a young
man of twenty-five years $500 for
breach of promise to be married to
him. The young man is Jack Denny
Bower, a draper’s assistant, who says
that Mrs. Jesusa Agnes Ebsworth, a
‘grandmother, made love to him and
even promised to settle a set amount
of money on him after their marriage.
The two met about three years ago
and became friends. Bower alleged
that Mrs. Ebsworth wrote him en-
dearing letters and that they visited
a hotel in Clifton, where they occu-
pied separate rooms and he was de-
scribed as Mrs. Ebsworth’s nephew.
There was testimony that Mrs. Ebs-
worth paid the bills, Mrs. Ebsworth
denied she ever agreed to marry the
young man and said that the letters
-Bower put in evidence were written by
her as a joke to the young man. She
says that after he proposed marriage
to her she ordered him never to speak
to her. The jury, however, thought
the young man’s feelings had been
wounded.—New York Press.
Some Oldtime Sayings.
Everybody knows some old sayings
which few of us perhaps believe in
our hearts. Yet, although we do not
believe them, still we are interested
in them, and as often as not follow
the directions notwithstanding that
we may scoff at the results. As, for
instance, most people pick up a pin
when they see it, but they do not
cherish any hope of the action affect-
ing their luck. When our ears burn
we say some one is speaking of us;
perchance we think we speak truly,
probably we do not.
Here, however, are some other old-
time sayings given for what they are
worth. If you—

Embroidery flouncings and all-
overs are to be very much used this
season for pretty frocks.

spicuous, but not becoming. Colored

‘The Shrines of Chile.
At various places in. Chile, dotted
up and down the countryside, may be
found many small shrineg. Some
consist of a small, hut-like arrange-
ment, others are mere holes cut into
neighboring: rocks; while others,
again, are nothing more than a hol-
low pile of stones. They usually
mark the spot where some one has
met his death by vioience, and the
shrine is built by the pious friends
of the deceased, who keep candles
burning in it to light the departed
soul on its way. One little cement
hut which I saw was rather a neat
one of its kind, and must have taken
some trouble to set up, as it is placed
about ten miles from the nearest
township and on a very bad road.
The melted wax from the candles has

Old Age Pension.
By Walter Weyl.
) HERE is one point in which we raust agree with the people Wn.
oppose old age pensions for America. Pensions, they say, are
merely a palliative. What the aging man needs is not so much
a pension as a chance to work, and above all the strength, the
health, and the intelligence to enable him to work. It is very:
true. Let us put our minds and our purses to the task of pre-
venting child-labor, excessive toil, unhygienic houses and tao]
tories, and other things which cripple men in middle and old age. Let us
give industrial and technical education, so that a man may be permanently
equipped for earning his living. Let us raise the whole standard of the work-
ing and earning population of the country, so that each man may be able to
provide for his old age, or at least that all by joint action may insure all. But
in the meanwhile let us accord a decent life to worthy men and ‘women who
have not had the advantages which future generations will enjoy. Let us,
as far as we can, provide for present needs, since the bread of tomorrow will
not still the hunger of today. Let us above all do the work immediately at
hand—grant pensions *to our federal and state employees, study the entire
problem, and whatever our eventual policy, desist at least from our present
undignified attitude of burying our heads in the sand and denying that. a
problem exists to be solved.—Success. x

In Wall Street's Wild Rush ?

00000000 REMEMBER very well, about thirty years ago, when New
: York was completely swept off its feet by an extraordinary
speculation in mining stocks. I shall never forget one
pathetic incident of that short-lived and excited speculation.

lucky purchases of large blocks of cheap stocks suddenly
