ADVICE TO H ev. Sam 3?. ?Tones Bomethii Atlante Kansas City, Mo., March 6.-Give me your attention, yoong man. I've been a young man; ?now I am an old mon, so to speak, j Admitting your intelligence I claim tnat experience aud observation haye helped nie to see some things that simple intelli gence does not otyerfe. There are two words whioh covej* three worlds, success and failure. God has endow ed you with violition, and that moans choice, and choice iceans, simply, I'll take this, you may have that. Choice means also two or more things aro offered. If there was only one thing in sight then it's Bobson's choice. If one is a good thing and the other bad, then choos? tb/j good. If both arc good, then take the gooder. If both are bad then take noither. Not like one of tho candidates for gover nor of Georgia Said the> other day : "Of two evils, I never take the great er." That's politics, pure and sim ple, and the devil is running that whole business. Beal success has its foundations just like the houses we live in, and the very basis of success is good char acter. As sure as that the constitu tion follows the flag, so good oharaoter must lead the way in all successful undertakings. Tho young man who thinks ho must drink whiskey and j "cuss" to help you mt ko a man of I himself i J a fool .to begin with. If I were running a saloon I would want a' decent, sober barkeeper, I was not long finding a plaoe of trust and honor for a young man of my town, some time ago, when I said to a leading railroad official with whom I wanted to place bini, "that he was not oniy bright and efficient and trust worthy, but that ho was as clean in bis life as his sweet Christian mother. He has never touched whiskey, wino or beer, swore an oath or handled a deck of cards." "Send him to me," said tho official, and that young maa has been promoted the third time ic twelve months, and I dare say, will yet be president of that great railroad system. It pays to bo decent, it never pays to be otherwise. The boy who knows how to bo a gentleman, and knows how to keep from being a dog, is in possession of the knowledge which makes him master of the situa tion. No use talking, young man, about your having self control and will power. The way to keep olean is not to rub up against the things that will "smut you." I don't care how much you may boast of will power, whiskey will make you drunk. Again, God nor man can ever help you to be somebody, until you make up your mind that you will be by die, dc- or dio. This message to you, young man, was inspired by a notice of that greatest living pianist, Paderewski, whioh I saw in the Kansas City Journal of yesterday. The article was headed, "Paderewski's Suocess Achieved Through Much Hard Work." His reoital is to occur hero in Convention hall, March 17th, I quote from the notice as follows: "Paderewski has simply come to bo the dominant figure in the world of music, a domtnanoy acquired by years of patient. struggle a:.?? stoical endur ance of poverty and privation. The success achieved by Paderewski is not the result of chance, hut the outcome of sweat and suffering, heart burnings and humiliations.'1 The press has given to the world tho story of his life; how at 19 years of age, he softened the sting of pov erty by marrying a girl equally as poor. It is now almost impossible to estimate Paderowski's wealth. His first tour of America netted him $103, 000; his second $181,000. This is the fifth, and each succeeding one has marked a financial gain over the pro ceding one. When it is considered that in all the European countries Paderewski is equally a favorite, it will be Been that his ten years of suc cess1 havo nette! him millions. 'Even with all his immense charities and opeh handed generosity, ho has not been able to despatch all his wealth. Ho has a magnificent home in Poland and Switzerland and princely apart ments in Paris. Tho newspapers no longer busy themselves with his flame colored hair or melancholy eyes or how ho appears on the stage, or how ho . holds his knife at the table. But now thoy tell ns of his thorough deep knowledge of the innormdat secrets and feelings of tlje "piano soul," and his own acquaintance with the hopes and fears, sorrows and sufferings that fill overy human life. Now the press make it easier for him to do' what no other man can do. t PadaftiwAki made up hm mind that he would wear the crowns of Chopin, BuboDstoin and with his mind made np he worked and - suffered and per severed until ho hci* as surely ?O? as YOUNG MEN. 9 the Evangelist, has ag to Say. Journal. that he wears their crown*. Young mao, this not only holds good with Paderewski, but it's true of all great mea, from Adam down to Paderewski. Work, perseverance, suffering. Throw to the winds all easy jobs. A thing that is easy done is not worth doing. The things you do that call for brain, sweat, soul sweat and body sweat are the things that make suc cess not only possible but sure. "An idle head is the devil's work shop." . Yea, and an idle hoy is the devil's saddle horse, and the devil is most generally in the saddle, too. Shun idleness like yon would a saloon, for they are two things that get mighty thick On short acquaint ance. Again, take care of your integrity. When it becomes necessary in your j Ufo for you to tell a lie, then you need togo back and start lifo over again. You can't build on a .Ho. There is but One thing in the world that wi?l fit down on a lie, and that is another lie. Again, if you would succeed, he a gentleman. Kindness, and courtesy coBts but little, but they are compan ions of good fellowship and furnish a store house for friends, and you will need friends, just as you .need air and water. Again, avoid all games of ohance, from craps to cotton futures. They destroy your taste for honest toil, just as yellow-back novels destroy all tast* for useful knowledge. A dollar earned by sweat and toil is worth a million on puts and calls. Again, cherish only the friendship and companionship of good men and women. Be as careful of your com pany as you are o' your destiny. Again, marry, young man, marry. Tho old question pretty nearly covers tho ground, "Arc you a married man or a dog?" God's best gift to a little boy is a good mother. God's best gift to a young man is a good wife. There are too many young men postponing marriage until they have a competency to support a wife decent ly, as they say. That won't do, young man. You are as foolish as the fellow who is waiting until he gets good be fore he joins the church. I was bust ed when I married and if my daddy or daddy-inlaw, either, ever gave me or my wife a cunt we lost it before we got home. Don't ever wait to perform a good deed. Too many old maids these days, and whenever I see an old maid I know some man has failed to do his duty. Again, young man, stick to the Bi ble of your mother and the God of your father, for it is religion that must give solid comfort while we live and it is religion must supply solid com fort when we die. Don't be skeptical, agnostical or jasackical in religion. Read your Bible every day. Kneel down morning and night and pray to God. Observe these things and you will succeed in your calling as Pade rewski has in his. If you don't, you will wind up in the end a Rewskipady. Your friend. Sam P. Jones.

The death of the 8-monihs old Uby of Gustave Brown of 1210 Gay lord S.t, has proven to apprehensive Denver mothers the old time belief that a oat may take the life of a ohild by simply inhaling its breath. Tao strange caso brought under the actual knowledge of Dr. F. E. Waxham, proves conclusively for the medical profession the hearsay of old family physicians and the tales of old-time medioal authorities long out of print. The infant don of Gustave Brown was killed by his favorite playmate, a great maltese oat, .while taking his morning nap in bis carriage in the baok yard of the reeidenoe yesterday. The examination of Dr. Waxham, the mother's observations and the investi gations of Coroner Horan, all bring the samo nnoontradiotcd deoision. The oat killed the sleeping baby by putting its - month within the ohild's mouth, sucking its breath, the ohild breathing baok the cat's breath till suffocation resulted. "It is my positive belief," said Dr. Waxham this morning, "that death came to the baby in just this way, and for my own experience, tbe old saying is prove J. I have heard of death having been caused in this way before, but I have never had reason to believe it until now. This is tho first instance that ever came to my obser vation and that I have ever heard of directly." Mrs. Brown is certain that Dr. Waxham is right in his conclusion. "Yo s ter day morning," she says, "I put the baby in its carriage as usual for its nap, and as I have always done, put him in the back yard, with the parasol lowered to keep tho light out of his eyes and to prevent the ad mission of too much cold air. I had had a man engaged to olean the house and was so preoccupied and busy dur ing the morning that I did not run out to look at the baby as often as I generally do, to see that he is well covered and sleeping quietly. "At noon when we wore at lunoh eon I left the table to look toward tho the baby's carriage, and at that mo ment I saw the parasol moving. I thought tho baby had awakened. He is so swee-u and happy when he first wakes that I thought for fun I would just run out and steal some of his smiles and play 'peck-a-boo' at him to see tho dear little thing's delight. I weut to the kitohen door and as I opened it and started [down the steps I saw the maltese puss, the family petj jump out on the other side of the oarriage from under the parasol over the baby's faeo. I thought nothing of it especially, since the cat often j jumps into the foot of the oarriage and lies there asleep while tho baby takes his nap. "When I reaohed the buggy, push ed tbe parasol away and leaned down to look at the baby, there he lay, dead, his little mouth slightly ajar Not a mark of disfigurement on his whiteface." This part of Mrs. Brown's story is corroborated by Mrs. F. S. Knox, a neighbor, who also saw the oat jump down from the baby's carriage, and Who ran over to the Brown yard when the mother'c ?oream announced that something terrible had happened to the ohild. ' Dr. F. E. Waxham was hurriedly summoned and two other neighbors. Mrs. C. J. Dutoh and Mrs. M. N. Jones helped their friend in her effort to restore lifo to the ohild by rubbing and all the other methods they knew. Dr. Waxham s efforts proved equal ly fruitless. Tho ohild had probably been dead he said, for some time. The strange oonduot of the cat during the efforts to bring the baby back to life was remarked by all four women. "When we took the baby in the house," says Mrs. Jones, "the cat ap peared uneasy and followed close be hind Mrs Brown. When the baby was laid down and wo were all work ing over it, the oat sat with its eyes fixed on the ohild, as if perfeotly fas cinated, and seemed under an almost hypnotic influence. It got up and walked around us and appeared to ho orazy to get nearer the baby, until we finally became so annoyed at its strange behavior that we had to put it out." Mrs. Jones deolares that she has twice before known of instances in which a oat caused death in a way similar to the death of Mrs. Brown's obild. "Mylittle coutnV a child-4 yiars old,*' she says, "was killed in the same way a few years ago while asleep." The old assigned cause of this strange passion in the oat io due to tho belief that tho taste of tho milk in a child's mouth first induces the oat to. put its own mouth within that of the child. As it gets the tasto of tho milk, it sucks tho child's breath and finally becomes overpowered with and unexplainable fascination. Tho old explanation is held to bo true, in the lack of a better ono by thc child's parents.--Denver Post. Clnno ?lia Pnimh and VJnrlsa nff ?ha ""cold.""

Correct Breathing - Few women breathe correctly and the habit of half-filling the lungs cauces the dizziness whioh accom panies au unaccustomed amount of oxygen taken into the lungs at rare in tervals. Correct breathing must be learned by care and practice. Incorrect breathing weakens- the lungs, offering favorable oonditionsfor 1 disease. The remedy for tho evil is in con scious breathing, exercising the lungs by slow, deep and thorough move ments. Open a window and stand by it for several minutes eaoh day, inhal ing a little deeper eaoh time, filling tho lungs slowly and exhaling quiokly, re peating by slow, deep and thorough movements. One never takes cold white breath ing deeply, so have no fear of the open window, even if the weather bc cold or wet. Only bo sure that thc mouth is closed and tho air passet through the nostrils first, so as to bi warmed by the time it reaches th? lungs. Repeat this exercise regularly un< the result will bo that the lungs may b> filled at any time without any unpicas ant sensation. Another exercise which has bee tried with great benefit, is to stan with your shoulders resting against wall, risc upon tip-toes, each tim breathing deeply and exhaling quickly Repeat ten or twelve times a day. --Excavationsin Southern German have apparently established the fa that in prehistoric times Europe w inhabited by pygmies.

Ililli I.?-Ul Milli ? l l III - 1 A Hobo Fumigated at Rock Hill. Rook Hill, S. C., Maroh 29.-There ?was seen Thursday afternoon tho worst seared "hobo" that ever struck these parts. Somo time recently there were somo cases of smallpox in tho con struction train cara which wcro at that time quartered at Ogdon six miles be low. Thursday the cars wcro pulled up to tho Rock Hill yards to be fumi gated. As soon as Health Officer Gavoney was notified he went donn, slightly openod tho door of thc car; set inside a small fumigating apparatus loaded with formaldehyde, closed aud looked the door and went away. Ho did not leave tho immediate neighbor hood for a few moments and 'twas only a few moments till tuere was borne to his cars a succession ot' bumps, thumps, yells, whoops and all sorts of noises that could have been heard a mile away. Tho whoops wcro described as of thc sort that a man would give if a grizzly bear were very dose to his heels and an alligator in front. All the time thc whoops and yells went on thc knocking continued. When the officer located the sound, as in the car bc was fumigating, be open ed the door and there fell, pitched or struggled therefrom the worst looking specimen of '"'hobo" that over hap pened. His eyes were emitting flames, so to speak, ho was puffing like a porpoise, trying to spit, talk and snooze simul taneously, and when ho was at last understood he said "bc did'nt know what thc hell was thc matter but ho was sure dead." Mr. Cavoney knew, though, for it was tho car in which ho had placed the formaldehyde fumiga tor, and ibo tramp was in tuero asleep. It c?fflu dangerously near beiug the last sleep for him as only tho prompt rescue saved his life.-Tho State. ! - In India 90,000 head of cattlo ? arc killed every year by wild beasts and venomous serpents, and in Fin land wolves kill 5500 a year.

This is a strange legacy to leave to posterity ; a heavy burden to place upon the shoulders of the young. 1 This treacherous disease dwarfs the body and hinders the growth and development of the faculties, and the child born of blood poison, or scrofula-tainted parentage, is poorly equipped for life's duties. Scrofula is a disease with numerous and varied symptoms; enlarged glands or tumors about the neck and armpits, catarrh of the head, weak eyes and dreadful skin eruptions upon different parts of the body show the ?presence of tubercular or scrofulous matter in the blood.*, This dangerous and stealthy disease entrenches itself securely in the system and attack? the^bones and tissues, destroys the red corpuscles of the blood, resulting in Lwbit? swelling, a pallid, waxy appearance of Hie skin, loss of strength and [a gradual wasting away of the body.
