There are two or three week places in the American trusts of today. Ooe k, bnt little noticed, which was pointed ^ out some Tears ago by ooe of the f ' ' earlier millionaires, is that they rather overtax the brain power available | for their management. It is very hard even for a State to obtain a succession of great statesmen, and these vast businesses demands as much ' mental capacity and more sedulous i and harrassing attention. Their J owners, therefore, have to pay enormous sums for competent management, sums often ten times those paid to statesmen and are liable even then to pick the wrong men, while they themselves becomes constantly victims to nervous agd cardiac disorders. They do not last like the states men, and owing to difficulties of health they do not gain, as the states men do, the full benefit, of their experience. "Money worries" are very harassing, but no fortune will keep a man in fall mental strength if a doctor has to see him twice a day. As the generation founders dies cut this difficulty will be felt more and more. Forty Years' Torture.

The young man was describing how, while coming to town that morning, he had seen several Indian girls cutting up a cow that had died of some disease a day or two before. "Yell?" demanded the baron, when the narrator finished. ''Yell?" "Well," replied the young man, "the heathens are actually going to use the flesh as food. What do you think of that, baron ?" An angry flush colored the German's face almost purple, and his wttole figure seemed to dilate with indignation. "Vofc do I dink of it?" he cried. "It disgusts me mit humor nadure.

Senator Carpenter pacing up and down* listening intently enough, but saying not a word. "What church do you belong to Carpenter?" asked one. "I don't beloDg to any." "Why don't you join one?" "I don't want to. None exactly suits my views." "What one would you join if you were to feel forced to a choice?" "The Catholic, by all means." "And why a Catholic?"

"Why,'* said Quay, "a senator of your age ought to be married. Indeed, I Penrose, I'd advise you, for the sake of the organization, to get married Your chances of re-election through influential demand by the bigwigR will be increased a thousandfold if you take a charming wife down there with you next term. With your money you ought to ba able to do it well" * Penrose pondered deeply a minute or two and then asked: "Do you really think a tbiDg like that counts?" "Sure," answered the Old Man. "Well," answered the junior senator, resignedly, "let the organization pick out the woman and I'll marry her. Hxtowtl Into the Streets. Austin, Texas, October 13 ?Mrs Oarrie Nation arrived here today and attempted to take charge of a saloon on Fifth street and Congress avenue, and landed in the gutter as a result. Alderman Rill Davis, proprietor of the place, was present at the time and she immediately turned her attention to bim, but before she had proceeded far in her abuse of saloon men and their occupation Alderman Davis asked the visitor who she was and commanded her to leave the place. "I am Carrie Nation, sir," said she, "and I was never known to leave a saloon hell until I got good and ready." "I am sorry, Carrie," replied the proprietor, "but it makes no difference who you are, one of us is got to go out." Mr. Davis stepped from behind the bar and upon Mrs. Nation's second refusal to vacate, he caught her by the back of the neck and one arm and threw her bodily into the street and her satchel immediately followed her. After being ejected Mrs. Nation spoke on the sidewalk until the police dispersed the crowd. She was forced to take the train out of town for her next speaking place. Negroes Not Registering. Kaleigh News and Observer. Few negroes are registering in Raleigh, and those who do come under the "read and write" clause are not numerous. Ferry Noble, a colored barber, came in under this clause, as j he is able to read and write the con, stitution and can recite much of it from memory. Csesar Johnson is the | only negro so far known to have reg| istered under the "grandfather" | clause, as his grandfather was a free negro and entitled to vote.
