TWO REMARKABLE EPISODES.
Two remarkaMe episodes on Saturday paralyxed for the time being
tho hope of modern humanitarians for a speedy realisation of millennial
righteousness. They temporarily destroyed the faith of two continents
In the upward march of humanity toward the heights of moral perfec
tion. The tempered glory of the winter’s sunshine found Its way to a
bleak and barren Kentucky hillside where an open grave awaited Its vic
tim. Over the frozen ground without the pomp of earthly pageantry
came the pathetic procession which had marched In alienee across do
se rted fields and over railroad trgcka. while at 111 head was the steel
and mahogany casket with glistening silver bandies borne on a simple
push car. Neighbors tramped oir foot from the home of the slain man
to the distant family burying ground, paying kindly tribute to a friend
whose life had been crowded with tempestuous Incidents. The newly-
made mound was a crimson blot on the wide expanse of snow as the
little band of falthfnl neighbors wound It* weary way homeward, leaving
the sleeper at (ait at rest beside three other brothers, whose lives like
hla had been snuffed out In grewsome tragedies.
In the county Jail at Jackson, Kentucky, a degenerate son. barely a
man In years, raved like a maniac becauso his young hands were ftalned
with the life blood of hla father. .
Across the blue waters of the Atlantic another funeral pageant
wended Its glittering way on the same day from the old palace at Lisbon
to the Church of St. Vincente. An aasasslnated father and son were
borne to their last rearing place where kingly ancestors for generations
have found repose. There was all the pomp and magnificence of mon-
archlal glory to mark the-funeral ceremonies. The glint of gold: the
velvet palls; the blare of trumpets; the vibrant harmonies of military
music; the gorgeous display ef flowers; the long lines of national troops
and the great dignitaries of church , and state made the scene ono never
to he 'forgotten by the quiet masees who crowded tho streets of the old
Portuguese capital aa their king and the crown prince went to their final
home In the royal pantheon. But the men whose bullets found their way
to royal hearts were malicious anarchists, not sous of the slain king.
Tbeao tragic episodes, one occurring In far-off Portugal, where men
assert human liberty has not yet found Ita way. tho other on this side of
the Atlantic In the greatest republic of modem times, bring to the at
tention of reformers and to those who clamor for even greater freedom
and license the fact that human nature la close.akin the world over. The
base, msllelous Instincts of humanity find their murderous expression—
regardless of geographical lines—In the gleam of dagger or report of pis
tol, whether the hand that directs the Instrument of death Is that of a
degenerate son or that of a vicious, restless anarchist. Crime has never
advanced the cause of human liberty. It bars the gateway to human
progress and to Individual freedom.
MEN, POLICIES AND PARTY LEADERS.
The day of sentimental politics haa been relegated to the past with
the memories of many things which hampered and limited growth and
development. The present temper of the people's minds baa found ex
pression.In the tendency to break away from the domination of some of
the party leaders.
« Southerners can no longer be counted aa drifting dreamers, content
to accept policies and men at the dictate of party leaders and manipula
tors. They are beginning to demand In return for their votes certain re
sults which shall make for the ultimate good of their business Interests
and for thslr future progress. They recognise the fact'that past politi
cal problems In the South have deprived them of a rightful participa
tion In certain official responsibilities for which they are eminently qual
ified by virtue of present personal endowments and because of an Inher
ited aptitude.
The appointment of an Increased number of Southerners to the con
sular service opens anew a field of congenial action‘in whleh men of the
South have In past years achieved signal success. To the diplomatic
service of the republic this section contributed previous to the Civil war
many of the most brilliant and distinguished men who upheld at foreign
courts the honor and dignity of the nation. The day for a return of the
equitable distribution of these positions of trust and distinction can not
be very remute, judging from the present sentiment of the people of .the
South regarding their Inalienable right ta share .in the practical results
of future elections.
A leading Democratic cltlien of an adjacent state In discussing a few
days ago the Inevitable policy of the averago Southern voter Is quoted
: ae saying: l
’ ’ VI wtR Hever rote again for any man, In whatever party, for
a state office, who does not have some well-worked-out program
for conserving and developing our rural communities, for con
structing good roads throughout the state, for ptnclng n respect
able school house snd good school In easy reach of every child,
for placing In every one of eueh school* well-trained and amply-
paid-teachers, and for making equal to any our Institutions of
charity and higher education. I'm tired of hearing men talk,
and of voting for men merely became they support a certain
man for president and oak for reward for party service.”
THE G(MT OF OARELESBNESS.
These' are the day* when men are carefully estimating the cost of
everything. They are titling down and thinking of the old parablp of
(he man who went to war and failed to count the cost. Counting the
cost, men make fewer failures and mistake* than they otherwise would.
nut have you ever considered tho cost of carelessness?
What It coats to overlook trifles, to let things slip, to pay little at
tention to detail*? Think about It for a little, and In recognition of the
ooet of carelessness you will probably become more careful, consequent
ly of more worth to your employer, and you know what that means.
Here Is a striking Illustration of the eoet of carelessness: An exca
vation had been made for one of the ekyecraper* that makes the skyline
of New York—the workshop of the world—so interesting. After the ex
cavating had all been done a heavy retaining wall of cement waa being
placed in position. You have seen such work. You know the formula
for good cement wall*, two parts aand and gravel, one part cement; mix
well, then while In tho plastic form, place In a box-llke apparatus and
then tamp and tamp the composition while It Is hardening until it Is as
hard as a rock. But In this Instance the contractor failed to keep hla eye
on the men mixing the foment and the ones who were doing the tamp
ing. The great wait waa raising higher and higher, approaching comple
tion. One night the workmen went home, and while they were rearing
the wall gave way. What cauaed It? Thla: A lot of the cement had not
been properly mixed and thoroughly tamped, and this soft mass rearing
on solid cement with a presatire of solid cement resting upon It gave way
and the watt collapsed. Suppose It had remained until the heavy steel
girders and beama had been placed In position? Think of the awful
tragedy of carelessness that would have ensued. As It waa. It coat the
contractor* mnch time and money to rebuild the wall.
Aik railroad men what they know about the coat of carelessness.
They will tell you that many a train haa-been wrecked, and lives lost,
simply because some workmen In the carshops were careless In the fin
ishing ef their work, that a bubble In a ateel rail will sometimes cause the
rail to break In apparently a mysterious manner. All the while tho
preachers are talking "the strange dispensation* of Providence,” the rail-
road men know that Providence had nothing to do with tha accident—
that It was caused by carelessness.
It pays to establish habit* of carefulness In your life. Careless
young people continuing In their carelessness, rarely come to tn old ago
happy, contented and serene. Many a young cterk wonders why he Is
not promoted, while other* of lee* ability than himself apparently are
moved up over hla head. The answer la found in the one word, careless-
neee.
It's euch an easy thing to fall into slipshod methods of doing things!
So hard to break one's self of them once the method of the slipshod
habit has been established! It pays, therefore, to eatabllah habits of
carefulness.
To say of a young man that he ia careful or hie appearance, careful
of hla language, careful of hla Impression he glrea out, careful In th*
way he does hie work, la to pay that young man one of life's highest
compliments. Such a young man la In line fur promotion and will win
In the strugglo and race for life.
To say of a young man. that he la careless and Indlfferant, haphaz
ard la bla ways. Is to stamp the seat of disapproval upon hla forehead
and brand him for the corral where hit failures are bunched for the
slaughter. Carelessness carries with It a fearful cost In every dlrectloa
of tinman andaavor.
Carefulness brings great reward to those who persist to doing ev
erything Just right

THE NILGHAU
By JAME3 J. MONTAGUE.
A Nllghaus, long since dwelling under Burmah'a burning skies.
Had Features so Repelling that they fairly Hurt your Eye*. '
With four left Legs, a concave Nose, and Ears that’ did not Mate;
With Eyes that looked two Ways at once, and sprawling, apldery Galt,
He roused contemptuous Pity In thq Nllghaus far and near,
Who greeted him Is passing with a carping, cavilling Sneer.
The Bucks among the Nllghaus wore the latest thing In Spats.
With Iridescent Waistcoats and Imported Mauve Cravata,
And In the Afternoon Parades among the Girls they Strolled,
Exuding with self-Confidance most touching to Behold.
And when our evil-favored Friend along the Street they'd see.
They'd wag their Ears and thank the Fates that they were not as He.
One night arising from hla couch where Brahmaptutra flows,.
This plain undecoratlve Brute Jumped Into Evening Clothes.
And putting on a high silk Hat betook him to a Ball.
Where Jhe Waltzed round and smiled upon the Ladles one and All.
And marvelous altho It Seems, Despite his lack of Charm,
He walked Away with Twenty of the Fairest on his Arm.
Which Shows sometimes that looks are not the Thing on which to bet.
And also that no one Is next to Woman's Ways as yet.
Stray Thoughts
By MAURICE MAETERLINCK.
Nearly all of the great things of this
world have been done by men who
concerned themselves not at all with
Ideas of aelf-sacriilce. Plato's thought*
flew on—he paused not tn let hie tears
fall with the tears of the mourners In
Athens; Newton pureued his experi
ments calmly: nor left them to search
for object* of pity and sorrow'.
And this was right In the lives of
these men. It Is equally right In the
life of every soul, for each soul has. In
Ita sphere, the same obligations to self
us the eoul of the greatest.
. We should tell ourselves once and
for all that It I* the first duty of the
soul to become ae happy, complete. In
dependent, and great aa Ilea In Iti
power.
Herein Is no Sgotlsm or pride. To be,
come effectually generous and sincerely
humble there must be within u* a
confident, tranquil and clear compre
hension of all that we owe to our
selves.
Let'us be ready to offer when neces
sity beckons, our wealth and our time
and our less fortunate brethren, mak
ing them this an exceptional gift of a
few exceptional hours, but do not think
that you are hound to neglect your
hnpplness and all that environs your
life, tn sole preparation for these few
hnurs of greater or leaser devotion.
Let the humblest of men, therefore,
never cease to cherish and lift up his
soul, even as tho we wera fully con
vinced that this eoul of his should
some day be called to console or glad
den a god.
