At best life is a continual effort,
especially to those who have not
reached the point where daily work
is not essential to the acquirement
of daily bread.
In this commercial age, we are
prone to measure the worth of a
man by the size of his bank account,
or the money value of his real estate
holdings. By this measure the best
of life is not reckoned at all. It is
what the man owns, not what he is,
that is considered in forming opin
ion. The opinion thus formed is not
such as will elevate manhood. It
may induce money-getting, bub it
will nob in any degree , make the
world better or the people happier.
On this line of commercial prog
ress, the better qualities of meu are
naaae subservient to financial prof
its. The man whose chief purpose
is to acquire money or its equiva
lent, is kind, courteous, charitable
or good only because he is convinc
ed the display of such virtues will
help him in his business.
While this is the trend among
progressi\e men, all are not of that
character. There are many who ex
ercise the social and ehristian vir
tues because of the knowledge that
they are right, and that upon their
daily use depend happiness now and
hereafter.
Whatever the purpose, there are
degrees in the condition of men, but
there are none insensible to the in
fluence of kindness. A kind word is
never harmful, but often inspires ef
fort in the right direction, when the
lack of that kind encouragement
might induce discontent, disregard
of duty, or worse.
It is always right to be kind.

New Uses of Soda.
Soda is oue of the least expensive
l and most indispensable articles in
kitchen use. Aoid fruits, such as
gooseberries, rhubarb and plums, re
quire less sugar if a little soda—half
a teaspoonful to one quart of fruit—
is put in before the sugar. Bathing
a patient in hot soda-water will re
duce the fever. A little soda put in
water in which meat and vegetables
are boiled will make them sweet and
tender, besides hastening the cook
ing, and thereby saving fuel. When
added to dish-water no soap is need
ed, and there is no greasy rim around
your dish-pan. In warm weather
meats may be freshened by washing
And if nice work, low prices, courteous treatment and all-1 cold soda-water before cooking.

The most important news affect
ing the democratic party in years
has just reached Washington from
New York. It is to the effeob that
a considerable number of business
men of New York have decided that
President Roosevelt is “unsafe,” “er
ratic,” etc., and have informed lead
ing democrats that they will sup
port any democratic candidate whom
it is believed cau win. While this
course has been under consideration
for fome time, it has been actually
determined upon as a result of the
recent Hanna-Roosevelt fraoas. They
Bay that so long as Mr. Roosevelt
was guided by the advioe of Senator
Hanna he was nob likely to err too
seriously, but now ihat he has out
loose from the Ohio statesman he is
not.to be trusted. His friendship
with the labor organizations is re
garded as injudicious andhis attitude
on many important questions as va
rying with each breeze that blows.
It is believed that he will attempt to
force radioal tariff revision on con
gress, as soon as he is elected, and
these prominent republicans say they
would prefer an out and out demo
crat with clearly defined policies to
the present occupant of the White
House. They are perfectly willing
to accept a Bryan man, and in faot
urge that the nominee be acceptable
to Golonel Bryan and his supporters.
They only urge that there be har
mony in the ranks of the democracy
and they will supply the sinews of
war.
In this connection, the greatest
interest is manifested in the confer
ence which Mayor Harrison of Chi
cago has called for July 18th. It is
known that Mr. Harrison is opposed
to wbat is generally termed a “re
organization of the party,” and that
he favors the retention of the old
national committee and the nomina
tion of a man acceptable to Oolonel
Bryan. In this connection the pos
sible nomination of Hearst and Har
rison is being quietly discussed. Mr.
Hearst controls the great organiza
tions of letter carriers and’postal
clerks, regardless of party, and that
in itself would insure a considerable
support which porhays no other man
could command. Whether Hearst
and Harrison would prove accepta
ble to the New York interests is not
known. It may be that they, be
lieving they could cai’ry New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut them-
Belves, would advise the nomination
of an Illinois or an Indiana
man
In his new book, “On oho frail of
Moses,” Dr. Louis Albert Banks re
peats Gen. Lew Wallace’s story of
how he was inspired to write his
great novel, “Ben Hur.”
“I had written a serial story of
‘The Nativity,’ but laid the manu
script away. On a railway train I
met Ool. Robert Ingersoil, who invi
ted me to sit diown beside him.
“ ‘Well, if you will lot me diotate
the subject, I will,’ said I.
“ 'Certainly. That’s exaotly what
I want.’
“I took a seat by him and began:
‘Is there a God?’
“Quick as a flash, he replied: ‘I
don’t know; do yoiq’ #
“ ‘Is there a heaven?’
. “ ‘I don’t know; do you?’
“ ‘ts there a hell?’
“ ‘I don’jb know; do you?’
“ ‘Is there a hereafter?’
‘“I don’t know; do you?’
“I finished, saying: ‘There you
have the textB. Now, go ahead.’
“And he did. He was in a prime
mood, and, beginning, his ideas turn
ed to speech, flowing like a heated
river.
“When we separated at Indianap
olis it was a long distance to my
destination, but I preferred to walk,
for I was in a confusion of mind not
unlike dazement.
“To explain this, it is neoessary
now to confess that my attitude
with regard to religion had been
one of absolute indifference. I heard
it argued times innumerable, always
without interest. So, too, I had read
the sermons of great preachers, but
always for the surpassing oharm of
their rhetorio. But—how strange!
Tb lift me out of my indifference
one would think only Btrong affirma
tions of things regarded holiest
would do. Yet here wns I moved
as never before, and by what? The
most outright denials of all human
knowledge of God, Christ, heaven
and the hereafter. He had made
me ashamed of ,my ignoranoe; and
then—here is the unexpected of tho
affair—as I walked on in the oool
darkness I was aroused for the first
time in my life to the importance of
religion. And, while casting around
how to set about the study to the
best advantage, I thought of the
manuscript in my desk. Its closing
scene was the child Christ in the
cave of Bethlehem; why not go on
with the story down to the cruoifix-
ion?

Millionaires in New York.
There are in New York City to
day 1,320 millionaires, as against
293 twenty years ago and 25 in
1853. There were no millionaires
in the city 100 years ago. The first
person to reach that distinction was
John Jacob Astor, who became a
millionaire about tho year 1820, Six
years before that the richest man in
the city was Isaac Classon, who
swore that he was worth $750,000.
