j Cthe Archaeologist He Preferred Digging la the . Ground to Money v V Making By t. A. MITCHEL I When Henry Robson lost bis wits bt jrss left wltb one son, Louis, fourteen years old. Robson was of a eery prac tical mold regarding tbe production and accumulation of wealth, tbe chief end of men. Haring made a fortune, this ambition was succeeded by a simi lar object. He would bring up bla son to take bla place'at tbe bead of tbe great manufacturing concern of which be was tbe principal owner and man. ager. He preferred that Louis should not go to college, entering Instead Into business at tbat age When young men enter upon a university career, but did not Insist upon tbls, arguing tbat .while wbat a.boy learned at college was mostly worthless he Used .there a community wblcb was a preparation for tbe larger world wblcb be was later to enter. But before Louts was prepared enter college bis father married again. His second wife was a widow with daughter eleven years old or three years younger than bar stepbrother, sooner bad tbe marriage taken place than tbe wife began to study how tbe "could divert her husband's fortune from Louis to her daughter. Sbe could only tbluk of It, however, for her hut baud was bent on bis fortune passing from bis bands to those of bis son. Sbe worried ber daughter with ber schemes till the poor child was quite worn out with them. It was "Edith wby did you go to bed last nlgbt with out kleslug your father good nlgbtr or "Vou naughty child, to speak saucily to your father at you did day! fou deserve tbat be should leave you nothing In bis will." Tbe girl knew well tbat tbls refer ance to tbe will was tbe upshot of tbs whole matter, and since sbe was. too young to think In a mercenary way tbe future she did not enter Into ber mother's plans. But by not doing tbs unintentionally helped tbe matter, for ber stepfather saw tbrougb ber mother's plan from the drat, and It was plain to blm tbat Edltb was disturbed by It. Moreover, be took naturally tbe child, wbo was of a lovely d la pool tlon. and when Louis went away boarding school she, In a measure, dropped Into his place with her father. Tbeu came that which tended bring about Mrs Robson's schemes Louis developed tastes antagonistic business. Instead of being Interested In tbe mechanic arts he must needs be come Infatuated wltb those people wbo lived a couple of thousand years ago— tbe Greeks and Romans—whom most children wish bad never lived at all. Louis' tastes ran also to languages, and In tbe Latin and tbs Greek he read about Roman conquests and Athenian Intellectual triumphs. Tbe boy had not been long In college when his knowledge of Greek and Latin liters tore was tbe talk of tbe students and tbs surprise of the professors. All tbls was disappointing to Mr. Robson. He regarded the Greeks and Romans as absolutely deed and unpro ductlve. Tbe Roman forum was to him simply a show for Americans and only valuable for tbe liras taken In as gate money. But even tbls be consld ered wasted because It was being used for further excsvatlona Be regretted tbat the barbarians wbo had demol lshed Rome bad not made a wilderness of It so tbat Its site might have been lost forever. Constantinople be thought might have become valuable on ac- count of its location had not tbe Turks gone In and spoiled It for a center of trade Had It not been for tbls tbe Bosporus might have become as 1m portant as tbe Cblcego river. :. "But, papa," Edith would say, "Just think—tbe ancients called tbe Bospo rus the Hellespont, and Leander awam It to visit Hero.' I “Spoken like the dear little girl you are," was tbe reply to tbls. “You are at an age when girls are much better fitted to discern a romance than a site for a real estate speculation. 1 I A crisis came in the family when Louis was graduated. An expedition was to be tent out by hie alma mater to dig for tbe site of an ancient city, and be was invited to be a member of the party. His father, who had been waiting for four yean to begin to pre pan hie ton to take his place In his business, was furious Edith placated him as beat tbe could, holding out the hope that Louis would tin of hunting for old bones, flint arrowheads, pot tery and trinkets buried fifty feet nn- - derground, but Ur. Robson knew that such taltes Instead of Improving the Investigator only tended to rain him. "Such persons,” be evened, "an born with their heels in the air Instead of their beads and branch out toward the center of the earth.” | Louis Insisted on going with the ex- pedltlon, his expenses being paid from the college fund appropriated for tbe purpose. His father ottered to give him an enormous salary If Instead he ..would enter hie factory and as soon as he had learned how to manage It he should have full control.. I "Father,” said Louis, "I always con sidered you a practical man.” i "So I am, but you are a dreamer.” "At any rate, I have seals enough to know that the Robson company andar my management would be bulled deep er than Herculaneum.” "Very well; go on your bunt for old pots and kettles and don't come back here any more.” Edith tried to patch up a peace bo- tween the two, but failed. Tbe fatber could not endure to see bis fondest hope wrecked, and the acn recoguixed Instinctively his life work and pro posed to follow it There was but one person In tbe family who was pleased, and that was Mrs. Robson. In tbls disagreement )|he saw her daughter's ts Touts had'left Auit-rk-u bla rutin- made a will leaving all his possesstoun lo his stepdaughter. WblllgLouis Robson was away dig- glng In tbe earth, as his father put It "wearing out bis eyesight translating Inscriptions ou bricks three or four thousand years old. reading cures for 1 toothache, corn salves and solutions for tbe Itch,” bla father fell ill and ' soon became convinced tbat be bad not long to lire. Calling Edltb to him, be told ber what sbe alreedy knew—that sbe was bis belr. "I won't bare It, papa,” sbe said "Tour fortune belongs to Louis and not to me at all except such amount as you choose to leave me for a gift. 'The old mau was greatly pleased at tbls Ingenuous and uuseldsb statement, especially since be kuew of bla wife's desire tbat be should cut off bla sou In favor of ber daughter. “Louis," continued Edltb. "has shown more common sense tbun you, papa. Be basn't a business hair In bis head, and you could never make one grow tbere. He'll make a reputation lo the profession be bas chosen that we shall all be proud of.

However, I'll think over what you say, and maybe I'll make a will leaving tbe bulk of the estate to Louis, providing tor you lib erally at tbe same time. But If you really wish me to do so you'd better not mention it to your mother. One reason that luOuences me ts that If 1 leave It all to you she will mauage It for you, and If Louis should ueed any of It be wou't get H—not from ber." After awhile Mr. Robson's condition was sucb tbat Edith wrote Louis that It be wished to see bis fatber alive he bad better come home. Louis returned the day of his father's death. In an In terview between tbe two Robson ad mitted tbat be bad been wrong in the matter of bis sou's career, and Louis expressed a regret that he had not at least tried to fuldll hts father's desire. Tbe ulgbt after this lutervlew and Mr. Robsou's death Louis was suffer- lug a remorseful feetlog, uatural under the circumstances, but nut wurranted by the facts. Rut being able to steep, be got out of bed uud, throwing on a, dressing gown, started to go downstairs to tbe dining room for some refresh ment that he hoped would Induce slum ber. As be left his room be saw a dash of light at tbe other end of tbe ball. Thinking that burglars were In the house, he went cautiously toward It. By continuous flashes be was guided to a room bis fatber had used for au office. Through tbe crack made by tbe door being partly open he saw bis step mother with an electric lamp bunting through papers In a ttn box sbe bad taken from a closet. She fouud one that sbe appropriated, but evidently was not satisfied. Hearing a slight sound that Louis made Involuntarily, sbe gave up the search, and, seelug that sbe was about to come out of tbe room, Louts retreated. Believing that his stepmother's search bad soma connection with his father’s disposition of his property. Louis thought a long while over the matter. In the room Mrs. Robson had visited was a desk. His father had long ago showed blm a drawer opened by a secret spring and told him that kept there any paper of lmpor .tance be feared might be lost or stolen. Louis determined to open this drawer and see if It contained any thing of moment As he approached the room be perceived a light in It. Drawing near, he looked In and saw his stepsister, Edith, hunting through the tin box. Not finding wbat she wanted, she went to the desk, pressed a spring, opened a drawer and took out a document 8he was about to come out when sbe started at seeing Louie “What does this mean, Edlel" be asked. "Wbat mean?” she said, her bosom heaving. 'An hour ago I was coming down stairs to get a biscuit and 1 saw your mother ransacking that box. She took from It a paper”— a "One like this!” ‘Tea.

Do Not Leave Yourjjp ' Little Pigs Unprotected You read in the papers that Mr. Morgan "revealed his money power." It was-an interesting revelation. Mr. Morgan has handled in ten years two thous and million dollars’ worth of stocks and bonds. When Mr. Morgan or any other big financial individual "handles” anything, he keeps part of what he handles. Is it any wonder Mr. Morgan is able to buy pictures for one hundred thousand dollars apiece, or one million dollars apiece, if he chooses, when he handles two thousand millions of dollars in ten years and charges “so much” for handling? - You learned also that Mr. Mor gan just at present has. a little matter of $162,000,000 in his banking house awaiting invest ment. He has that much on hand, in case anybody should come along and want a little money to put into some sort of business of the kind that Mr. Morgan approves. We don’t propose to waste your time with criticism of Mf. Morgan. He and the other big money* men do exactly WHAT THE PEOPLE LET THEM DO. If you were a farmer, and left your little pigs roaming around the edge of the \y>ods, you would be foolish to blame the bear that came out and ate the pigs. The thing to do is to look af ter your pigs, when you happen to be a farmer living near bears. The thing for the people of this country to do is to loook af ter themselves and their inter ests, when there are large finan cial bears on the edge of the woods. What the people need is money for useful construction, easily obtained, on proper security, and for use in SMALL ways. Do not imagine that Mr..Mor- gan has been a useless individ ual, in handling of two thousand millions of dollars. Do not believe that the one hundred and sixty-two millions that he now holds will be used uselessly or foolishly. Morgan, perhaps, will make too much. But that doesn’t mat ter very much. In a few years from now there won’t be any Morgan, and his personal profits won’t count. Mr. Morgan .has built many miles of railroads, or enabled men to get the money to build them. , He has built great factories— the steel factory at Gary alone represents nearly one hundred millions of wise investment. As a man in a big way, Mr. Morgan is a useful proposition. He charges a great deal, he makes more than a man should have, but he does promote a big business. famT-T'aTnocBrtrying tofeed the people, the buijder who is trying to erect homes. the man who wants to build a house in which to keep his family, can not bor row at all, or only at usurious rates. Wejneed common sense in this country, co-operation by the cit izens, mud voting by tbe citizens for their own protection. And especially we need to give to the small man, who is id re-' alky THE UNITED STATES, the opportunity to borrow at a fair rate the money that he needs to spend for the general welfare in CONSTRUCTIVE work. There is no use talking about organ and the other big men, hey do, as we nave said WHAT YOU LET THEM DO. The real big mail; • the real rich man in the United States, IS THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, and YOU are the United States government. Why don’t the people get to-' gether, arrange methods of lending money-direct by the na tion or by the state to the indi vidual for constructive work, give the farmer, the small build er and the honest citizen gener ally, the credit to which he' is entitled? ONE individual able, to han dle two thousand millions of dol lars in ten years, and eighty-odd MILLIONS of individuals ham pered for lack of credit and bled for usury—it is a picture that does little credit to the intelli gence of the United States of America.—Atlanta Georgian.

Our little people’s savings are used by the big people in their operations, or swallowed up in watered stocks and get-rich- .quick schemes. Two thousand millions can be borrowed by the BIG men from one big man—and the little man can’t borrow ANYTHING. The farmer, if he wants to borrow, must pay 8 per cent— which is criminal usury. The banks all know it, and they think it is all right. From these saipe banks Mr. Morgan can borrow at 3 per cent or Jess. Or he can borrew money from the - government FOR NOTHING AT ALL. HE CAN GET GOVERNMENT FUNDS DEPOSITED IN HIS BANK, THEN THE BANK LENDS THEM OUT FOR THE HIGH EST RATE. The little man must pay usury and what is more often the case, HE CAN’T GET MONEY ON ANY TERMS. In Germany, .where they haven't one-quarter of our wealth, but several times our national intelligence, the little people have been able to borrow from the government five thous and millions of dollars at 4 per cent—every cent spent for little improvements. in this country, If the fanner wants to till a wet field, drain it, and make it productive for the benefit of all; if he wants a new barn, new agricultural machin ery, he must pay usury, as tho he were taking tils watch to a pawnbroker—and he usually can not GET the money when he wants it.

Both she and her husband were bitter Tories, but their children, wbo had never been in the mother country, sympathized se cretly wltb the patriot cause. They were a young man, Edgar, aged tweo ty-two, and a daughter, Anne, aged nineteen. One evening Genera! Howe, com mending at New York, with certain members of bis staff, rods out over the Jersey flats between tbe city and the rising ground beyond on a tour of re connolssance and at nightfall stopped at tbe Oldershaw mauslon. Tou lute in the day to return to hls beiidtpiar two, he suffered himself to lie persuud ed to remain all night, with lib attend ants, and was eutertnlned b.v Mr Old ershaw. During the evenlug be uud hls host sal over a Buttle or port wine, and the general, wanned by the Juice of the grape, became confidential us to bh pious for gulnlug au advantage over General Washington.
