I Boyhood of Great Men. Coe fine day in the summer of 1844 mpy two ten-year-old boys who bad been ^ fishing in a stream near a little town in Sontbern New York became hungry and went to a farmer's house to get something to eat .,. The farrfc??*irwife gave them a boun? tiful supply of bread and milk, and re? fused to take any psy for it. One of the boys merely said ; "Thank you, ma'am." But the other wiped his mouth on his coat sleeve, bowed, and expressed his .gratitude as greater length ; **To say th.at you have conferred a great favor on us madam," he said, "a&d that we are correspondingly grateful, conveys the idea feebly. Here we were miles from borne, and suffer? ing from hunger, having cangbt noth? ing" in the stream in which we were fishing. You have supplied our wants most generously, out of the abundance of your larder yon have ministered to the wants of two . hungry stranger^ and with a hospitality rare indeed in these days of sordid greed you have re? fused to accept any remuneration. It is scarcely, necessary to assure yon, ^ madam, that we shall always hold you aj? in great remembrance, and should it ^ ever be in our power to requite the fa vor you may depend upon our doing so with the liveliest satisfaction. Madam we thank you." "Good land, little boyi"exclaimed the farmer's wife, "what I done for yon wasn't worth all that, but I like to . hear you talk. You'll be a big man some day.' Her foresight was unerr ing. The boy grew up to be Chauncey Mitchell DePew, the greatest af te rd in? ner orator of his day.-Chicago Trib une. s - Oyama a Mind Header. The Japanese are to be credited with the discovery that mind reading is ressenti al to successful war. It appears that the fall of Mukden was due to psyche logy. Field Marshall Oyama bavins made a careful studv of the mental operations of Kuropatkin. Before, during and after the battle of Liaoyang the Japanese commander had for bis chief purpose to-convince the Russian general that ' tbe Japanese would fight only in the woods and on the hills; so Kuropatkin assumed that no serious V movement would take place on the plains. Then, of course, Oyama did fight on the plains, aft**r making a display further to mislead the Russians. It is not sur m prising that English military men should say that the Japanese combat "commands hlatost despairing admira? tion," and that it reveals combined intelligence and physical endurance be? yond all parallel. Oyama's stupen? dous conception involved the advance of 400,COO men over a front of nearly one hundred miles, and required that the movements of every unit of the ty five armies should be accurately co? ordinated. During these movements there 'were the heaviest of snow storms and the ice in the rivers to be crossed broke before the Japanese reached them. There seems to be no doubt that chis is indeed "the greatest com? bat at arms in the history of the world."-Philadelphia Ledge? 0 An Unconqured Boer. Commandant Pan Louw, the Boer officer who refused to lny down his arms when his fellow countrymen sur? rendered to the British and who tied to the Lonsberg Mountains, on the , y borders of German West Africa, with ^ bis band of burgher fighters, bas been successfully resisting the combined Englished and German forces in South Af rica for more than two years. In June, 1902, when the Boer army capi? tulated Louw was the nucleus of the present little army under bim. Within the first year the 300 men ? were increased to 2,000, and today he W is said to have a combined force of 8, 000 sturdy tramore under his com? mand. Many Boers still believe that their country can be reclaimed, and many of them look to Louw as the man who will start the next rebellion. There is said to exsist an nnder standing among Bores and their sym & pathizers that the next uprising will T be in 1906. It is also stated that 15,000 men have agreed to respond to the commandant's call.-Chicogos News. A Macon young man took his giri to a show recently and soon after the curtain was raised she complained of feeling faint The young man took something ont of bis pocket and whis? pered, "Pct this tablet in your mouth."

Negotiations are under way, says The Washington Star, for placing a $51-million-doll?r insurance policy on the new house of Charles M. Schwab and its furnishings. The dwelling with its furnishings will cost when completed, about nine millions of dol? lars. It is to be filled with thej work of the best artists and Mr. and Mrs. Schwab have been larisack'ng Europe foi years for paintings, tapestries and antiques to grace it. It .is the intention {of the former head of the steel trust to will this palace and its costly collections to the city to serve as 'a museum and show place after bis death and that of his wife. In order to carry out this idea be has sought the advice of the fore? most architects and artists of the day. and in the construction and the fur? nishing of tbe building no less than fifty experts in the arts and crafs have been employed. - In appearance the house closely follows the style of the Chateau Chen n ou cea ns io France, al? though there are suggestions of other famous chateaux in the details. The house is 100 by 75 feet and stands hi the center of grounds 200 by 400 feet. The architect is Maurice Herbert. Well known artists have painted the panels in the ceiling of the reception rco?ns. and the tapestries which will be used in the mural decorations are considered the most expensive ever brought to this country. .The pictures by well known artists of every period are worth more than the cost of the building as a palace. The sculpture which is to adorn the halls is repre? sentative of the best plastic art of this coori try and Europe. Announcement bas been made that the carved silver-gilt din? ner set which bas been ordered will cost $150,000, and will be the finest ever made for a private dining room. It is being made by a firm io Providence, B. I. Antique lines will be followed in its design and it will be ornamented by hand. Clubwomen and Mr. Cleveland: Mr. Cleveland's courage has been shown again and again iu his political and public career; but he 'must admit that he took bis life in bis bands, so to speak, and crossed the boundary be? tween valor and rashness when he wrote the other day of " danger of'self delusion" on the part of the clubs belonging to the National Federation of Women's Clnbs, and of "the vast number of associations le-s completely organized, but not le*s exacting of time and attention, whose professed purposes are in many instances the in? tellectual improvement or entertain? ment of the women composing their merubershib." With the courage or hardihood of unshaken root be walked right up to the women's suffrage clubs and told them that " it is a thousand pities that all the wives found in such company cannot sufficiently open their minds to see the complete fitness of the homely definition which describes a good wife as * a women who loves ber husband a**d ber country, with no desire to run ether .' " There are excellent conservative sentiments, which a prndent man keeps locked in bis own bosom. The utterance of them is sure to bring stings and ar? rows and outrageous fortune and bricks by the thousand upon "the deaf and desperate head," as Mr. Swin? burne wonld say, of the utterers. Already the storm howls along the sky. From Sleepy Eye to Death Smith County from Toad *Jill to Devil's Lake, lrom Chuguabugnamug to Cic? ero from, awfni Shasta's ice shrine the ; Three Shoat Creek, the "clubwomen" are bristling like quills npon the fret? ful porpentine. Chicago, first in war, jabs and stabs Mr. Cleveland. "Club? women gathered in groups in the rooms of the Chicago Woman's Club all vigor? ously defended the club against what tbev characterized as 'Presidential ?bel? " Mrs. James Frake, president of the Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs, says that Mr. Cieveiand "should be excused on tbe groand of his ignorance of the subject." Mrs. Frederick Bowes is sure that Mr. Cleveland 'doesn's intend to run for president again or he would not be so reckless about the friendship of the clubwo? men." Mrs. Elwood MacGrew asserts that "be bas got the serious minded clubwoman confused with the bridge whist devotee." Mrs. (ieorge Bene? dict Carpenter wipes out Mr. Cleve? land and all the schools and colleges in one grand bow : "The woman's club is the greatest ducater I kuow." Thirty thousand clubwomen in Chi cago gaze upon Mr. Cleveland with blazing eyes : "Feminine admirers of the former president * went back' on him and re? sorted to long, harsh sounding adjec? tives and cruel'knocks' in giving voice to their contempt of his vews ou the woman's club." It would be presumptuous to try to screen Mr. Cleveland from the volleys of the serious minded, nor would we lightly oppc se ourselves to those ser? ried columns of petticoated "knock? ers." Yet for truth's sake, we would dare much. For instance what does Mrs. F. W. Becker mean by those mysterious words: "He would do better to wr.tea treatise on ducks." Aren't the clubwomen ducks, every mother's daughter of them? Mrs. Jane Lacy, an aged lady of the Taxaha section, died Snnday. She as the widow of the late Samuel Lucy and was 86 year sold.

The Press Association of Virginia and the two Carolinas to Meet in Joint Session in Asheville. Greensboro, N. C., May 4 -The an? nual meetiau of the North Carolina Press Association this year will be one of the greatest events of the kind ever occurring iu the state by reason of the fact that not only will the Vir? ginia Press Association hold its sessi? on iu Asheville at the same time, but it is now learned that the South Car? olina Press Association bas accepted an invitation from President Varner, backed by the authorities of Ashville to bold its annual session at the same time and place.

Negotia? tions are now in progress for submit? ting this attractive programme to the Virginia and South Carolina editors, and if tney can be made to properly understand it, there will be no doubt of their adopting the suggestion and accepting the cordial invitation which will be officially extended from Greens? boro.-Wilmington Messenger. An Irish butler, newly engaged, requested his master to allow him some whiskey. "There's nothing like it to clean the windows," said he.
