TO HONOR MONROE
; Belated Move to Erect a Great Monu
ment to His Memory
I James Monroe, fifth President of the
' United States and author of the fa
i raous "doctrine" whidi bears his name
was born in Westmoreland county, Va.
. 156 years ago last spring.
I Although Monroe enunciated ami
j definitely announced a policy that ba
-1 been a live political issue for nearly
| a century, there has never been any
| general observance of his birthday, an':
j no important memorial has been erect
I ed to perpetuate his name.
Recently a movement has been start
i ed to erect a Monroe monument, but a;
i yet no definite location has been dc
cided on. Among the cities suggested
are New York, where he died on July
4, 1831; Washington, San Francisco
Panama, Buenos Aires or Rio de Janei
ro, and Monrovia, the capital of th<
African negro republic of Liberia
which was started by Monroe.—New
York World.
Lord Say re and Sele, in the Hous<
i of Lords the other day, repudiated th<
I idea "that the possession of an illus
| trious ancestry debars a man fron
j earning an honest living in trade oi
'otherwise." It doesn't debar him: but
' it often disinclines him considerably.

Dur older residents are verv sorry
to see one of the old landmarks being
removed. It is the old farm house lo
cated 011 the south side of East Simp
son street between Market and Arch
streets. It was the John Coover home
stead and, although Mr. Coover had
retired from tanning and removed from
it, it was owned by him until his death
j and until recently belonged to his heirs.
The house is of brick and was one of
I the tin est residences in this vicinity,
and the wood work, which is especially
elaborate in the interior of the house,
was all hand made. The brick barn
belonging to it was converted into four
dwelling houses a number of years ago.
The land was converted into building
lots a number of years ago and is now
Market and Arch streets, south of Simp
son street, and Keller, Marble and
Coover streets, east of Frederick
street. The house is now owned by W.

PITFALLS FOR THE CITY
MAN WHO WANTS TO FARM
Department of Agriculture Advises Him
to Try Out As a Farm Hand for
Training and Experience Before Ty
ing Up His Savings in a Farm
Washington, 1). C. Nov. 9.—The De
partment of Agriculture receives many
letters from city papple who 'have read
glowing accounts M the wealth that
may be made on a farm. A large per
centage of these people have already
bought farm laud. Some of them lip
pear to beilieve that t'he reason all fann
ers are not. rich is becauso of extrava
gance, wastefulness, iguoranve anil a
lack of business ability, To these let
ters the Department's specialists reply
as follows:
"'As a matter of fact, farmers us a
class are intelligent, industrious and
economical, and many of theni are men
of good business judgment. Further,
those who have made a thorough study
of the business side of farming know
that it is not an easy matter to make
money on the farm. Duly the most prac
tical and experienced farmers are nuik
ing any considerable profit out o»f t'heir
■business. Most, of the money that has
been made on t'he farm in reicent years
has 'been made, not by farming, but 'by
the rise of price 011 farm lands. In the
nature of things this rise can not con
tinue indefinitely and some one will own
this laud when the price becomes prac
tically stationarv or perhaps starts to
due line.
" While it is true that occasionally
a city bred family makes good 011 the
farm, this is the exception and not the
rule. It is always a risk to invest in a
business without first making a thor
ough study of that business. i.Many city
people who have saved up a few hun
dred dollars and who have had little or
110 farm experience, but who are imbued
with a rosy vision of the joys and prof
its in farming, buy poor land at high
prices and thereby lose the savings they
'have been years in accumulating. One
city (family paid SIO,OOO cash and as
sumed a $12,000 mortgage on a l'ann
worth only about $ 1 1,000. Another
paid $2,000 cash and signevl a mortgage
for $6,000 on a farm that was latter ap
praised at $3,000. A city family tliat
had saved $2,000 used tiiis money to
make a first payment 011 cheap farm
land, and when their eyes were opened
found they still owed considerably more
than the farm was worth. For seven
years they have worKed almost night
and night to meet the interest, without
being able to reduce t he princiij al. These
instances could be multiplied almost in
definite! v.
"In purchasing a farm great care
should be taken to get a good farm at a
fair price. To pay or agree to pay more
than the farm is worth is to invite fail
ure. From a busiuess standpoint no
farm What does not pay interest on the
total investment, depreciation 011 equip
ment. and wages for all labor performed
on that farm is successful.
"Even when great care is taken in
making the investment only in excep
tional cases should the city bred fami
ly attempt farming. Gonerallv the best
advice that can be given to the oity
ured man Who desires to bfi-ome a
farmer is that before purchasing a farm
he vvor*k as a farm hand for two or
three years. This will give him an op
portunity to learn at first hand many
things about the business, as w ell as the
practical side,.of farming. 111 no other
way, as a rule, can he get good farm
training and experience at less trouble
and exii'onse or without danger from
financial disaster."

ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING
Little Talks on Health, and Hygiene
By Samuel G. Dixon, M. D.,
LL. D„ Commissioner of
Health
The hours of our working days have
been materially lengthened from what
they were a century ago. Necessity be
ing the mother of invention has made
this possible by the evolution of our
systems of artificial lighting.
It is a far cry from the tallow dip
to the tungsten lamp. Reading the
increased activities which have been
made possible by the advancement of
scieuce in this direction it is impera
tive that every precaution should be
taken to save our eyes from unneces
sary strain and overwork.
The abundant and diffused illumina
tion from day light is much easier upon
the eyes than direct anil concentrated
artificial light, as is commonly used.
Therefore, it is desirable to secure the
nearest possible approach to day-light.
Clear globes should be dispensed with
and frosted ones substituted in their
place. The eyes unconsciously direct
themselves toward glaring lights and
a few hours work will result in con
siderable strain of the eves.
For general illumination in churches,
stores, lecture halls and hospitals, re
flected lights which cut off the direct
rays from the vision seem to represent
the most improved system thus l'ar de
vised. For the work bench, reading,
bookkeeping and similar occupations,
the direct light shining from a frosted
globe on the work and properly shad
ed to keep it from the eyes, is as yet
unsurpassed.
Workers and students should exer
cise all possiblo care in providing
themselves with adequate light as it
will result in greatly increased ef
ficiency. Slight defects of sight are
apt to become accentuated by the
strain incidental to working in poorly
lighted rooms.
NEW TYPE OF JEW, HE SAYS
Socialist Congrpssraan-Elect Hopes to
Show Congress Something New
New Xov. 9.—Addressing yes
terday aifternoon an audience that filled
(Madison Square Garden, Meyer London,
Socialist Congressman-elect from what
has been called "the Tammany
Twelfth," said that when he enters
Congress the nation will see "a new
type of the Jew," one entirely different
from the kind tihat Tamraauv" Hall and
similar political bodies have been send
ing to the legislative hails. The asser
tion was received with tremendous ap
.phrase.
"I expect to preach in Congress that
philosophv of Socialism," said London
in his speech. "1 expeut, too, to show
Congress the East Side of New York
as it is, not as it is made out to be,
and as it has been represented to bo
heretofore through Tanimanyized men."
Mr. London declared that t'he woeful
ignorantce of voters in the last election
| defeaited the Democrats.
When it comes to manual labor the
| average man is a train 1 ;, at heart.

Did you tackle trouble that came your way

Or hide your face from the light of day
With acraven soul and fearful?
Oh, a trouble's a ton, or a trouble's an ounce
Or a trouble is what you make it.
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts,
But only how did you take it?
You are beaten to earth? Well, well, what's that?
Come up with a smiling face.
It's nothing against you to fall down flat,
Bnt to lie there—that's a disgrace.
The harder you're thrown, why the higher you'll bounce,
Be proud of your blackened eye,
It isn't the fact that you're licked .that counts.
But how did you fight, and whyf
And though you be done to the death, what then?
If you battled the best you could.
If you played your part in the world of man
, Why the eritifc will call it good.
Death comes with a crawl or comes with a pounce,
And whether he's slow or spry,
It isn't the fact that you're dead that counts,
But only, how did you die?
