SEEING OURSELVES AS OTHERS SEE U
If this were only possible what a I ni H
different aspect the world would as
sume The thoughtless would become
thoughtful the unwise would become
wise the selfish become un
selfish etc Good qualities as well as
ie faulty ones show forth every ones
life but if it wre possible that theJ
veil were drawn aside so that we
might see the bad qualities In our na
ture as they are shown to others
much care and thought would be given
to our daily makeup One man has
suggested the idea that if people
lived in homes whose walls were sur
rounded with mirrors It would not
only cure us of our vainness but
would show and remind us constantly
how the world was beholding us That
is suppose one had the fault of al
ways scowling and although uncon
scious of its effects yet this ugly habit
casts a gloom upon those who come In
its contact Again suppose one had
the habit of sitting or walking in a
stooped over fashion which is not
only ungraceful but injurious to
J health Now if he saw himself in the
f mirror daily and continually these
I faults would bo brought to mind and
he would see them as they appear to
Luurs nun ui unct correct mem me

Too much stress cannot be laid up-
n our appearance for Is it not
through this means that we are some
times judged by the world Each
looks to the other for the qualities
which are missing in their own na
ture A pleasing countenance ex
presses a world of meaning and as
Ovid says is no slight advantage
A good appearance as far as cleanli
ness and clothes are concerned ex
presses culture but an unpleasant
countenanjjfcy with other signs of cul
ture shows that something is lacking

STAGECOACH1NG DAYS
An Old AVorld Era AVIth a Decided
Flavor of Romance
The old coaching days as far as con
venience for travel was concerned
were the dawn of the great days of our
present rapid means of communication
The seventy years or so in which mail
coaches waxed and flourished and
finally died out before the incursion of
railways and steam engines have a de
cided flavor of romance attached to
them and no doubt the coming and
coiug of stagecoaches lent a certain
ipiiount of color and interest and life
to the country places and towns
through which ran the great main
coaching roads The Bath road the
Dover road the York road were high
ways of communication along which
rolled the heavy private coaches and
chariots of the country magnates and
the stagecoaches with their steaming
horses passed the various stopping
places with the regularity of clock
work
These stagecoaches with their com
plement of coachmen and guards af
forded endless subjects of interest and
illustration to the artist and the liter
ary men of the day Imagine Charles
Dickens without stagecoaches and de
nuded of all his vivid descriptions of
the scenes such as those in the yard of
the White Hart inn High street Bor
ough in Pickwick or of the mail
coach on the Dover road in A Tale of
Two Cities It is difficult for the pres
ent generation to realize the fatigue
and the wintry cold of such long jour
neys when frozen feet were enveloped
in a little straw and a shawl folded
round the neck was thought to be a fit
i protection against the keen night air

A Waterspout
A scientist says of a waterspout that
passed over a certain district in France
Its passage was accompanied with a
sound which is described as resem
bling that of a battery of artillery
drawn on the gallop over a paved
street At the base of an extended
nimbus hung the reversed cone charac
teristic of phenomena of this kind A
strong wind was then blowing from
the south southwest The waterspout
was preceded by a storm and followed
by a shower

USSELL A
ALGER who
has announc
ed that he will re
tire from the Unit
ed States senate at
the conclusion of
his present term in
1907 1ms been in
public service for a
long period He
was born in Ohio In
1S3U became a law
yer enlisted In the Union army when
the civil wai broke out fought In sixty
six battles and skirmishes and was bre
vetted major general of volunteers at
its close He was commander in chief
of the G A It in 18S0 In 1S84 Gen

votes on the fifth ballot at the national
convention of that year He was sec
retary of war under President McKiu

General Alger is a rich man now but
he was a poor man at the close of the
civil war At that time he engaged in
the lumber business in Michigan with
hardly a dollar with but little credit
but with lots of pluck His first crop
of timber he shipped to a Chicago firm
It was valued at 2000 and was all he
was worth in the world An old time
friend tells how Alger expected to
boom his business by this first sale and
how manfully he stood the shock of the
news of the failure of the Chicago firm
before he got returns It was a total
loss cleaning him out completely but
he went to the holders of his paper and
told them he would pay every cent and
as an earnest of his purpose put up
his watch as security In due time he
made good
There was nothing slow and sedate
about the campaign of the new kid
mayor of Milwaukee Sherburn M
Becker who surprised the political
wiseacres by defeating Edward S J
Hose hero of five successful canvasses
for the mayoralty oiiice Sherbie
Becker as his friends call him is thirty
years old but he looks very young and
has been known as the boy alderman
and Mayor Rose is said to have refer
red to him in a campaign speech as a
brat born with a silver spoon in his
mouth To this Becker retorted with
The mayor was born with a tin horn
in his mouth and has been tooting it
ever since Beckers youthful enthusi
asm made things
lively during his
canvass He attend
ed dances of the
Poles Slavs and
Bohemians mingled
with the young
men and danced
with the girls He

immediate relatives but he spent his
own money freely and just before
election distributed 5000 corncob pipes
and packages of tobacco hence the re
mark that the majority of his oppo
nent went up in smoke
Mayor Becker is rich is a Harvard
man and the son of a bank president
His grandfather S S Merrill was a
millionaire of the St Paul railroad
Young Becker was the candidate of
the Republicans stands for municipal
ownership and in the city council has
voted in accordance with this principle
although in so doing he had to go di
reetly against the interests of rich
friends He is married has been
around the world twice has been min
er and cowboy and is in love with the
strenuous life
The man most In the public eye at
the present moment is the man with
the muck rake and the type is repre
sented in Upton Sinclair whose re
markable story The Jungle has won
attention from President Iloosevelt
The Jungle deals with conditions in
Packingtown where the beef trust
has its headquarters and Mr Sinclairs
story is said to have caused President
Roosevelt to set a number of trusted
investigators at work to discover how
much of truth and how much of fiction
there were in the
novel which has
produced such a
sensation Mr
Roosevelt also in
vited the author to
the White House to
discuss the subject
treated in his story
Before Doubleday
Page Co publish
ed The Jungle
they commissioned
TJPTON SINCLAIR iavryer tO visit
Chicago and make an investigation of
Packingtown On the strength of his
report they went ahead with printing
the book Mr Sinclair has had a live
ly career He is twenty seven years
old -was born In Baltimore and studied
at the College of the City of New York
and Columbia university He paid his
way through college by writing jokes
and stories wrote a book of SOO00
words when he was seventeen and be
fore he was twenty had produced an
output about equal to that of Sir Wal
ter Scott In 1900 he gave up college
andS wentr ftr Canada- to write KIng
Midas For four years he lived in
shanties and tents often subsisting on
ital and game During the next sum
mer he wrote Prince Hngen Tim
publishers rejected It and durlug that
time he nearly starved in New York
The story of this terrible experience
was told In The Jourual of Arthur
Stirling a modern Grub Btreet trag
edy air Sinclair then became a So
cialist and wrote Manassas the first
of a civil war trilogy in a shanty that
he built near Princeton N J which
he has enlarged and where he now
lives The Jungle was the result of
his Socialistic Investigation To obtain
the Information he spent a long time
In the meat packing district of Chica
go and thus obtained inside facts of
the terrible living and working condi
tions that he describes
Representative James Schoolcraft

Republicans of the house in which he
Is now serving his ninth term When

Sherman has been for some years at
the head of the committee on Indian af
fairs and enjoys a reputation for wide
knowledge of the history and present
condition of the red men Sherman In
stitute at Riverside Cal for the edu
cation of Indians is named in his hon
or He is one of the most affable of
the members of the house and is gen
erally popular among his colleagues
Prince von Bulow the German chan
cellor who fainted recently in the
reichstag during a discussion on the
results of the Moroccan conference
has a hard place to fill It is said that
during the sessions of the conference
dispatches came in late and he work
ed over them night after night For
three months he
was busy from S
oclock in the morn
ing until past mid
night almost every
day and the strain
proved too much
for his physique
Von Bulow to
give him his full
name and titles is
Prince Bernard
Ileiiry Martin
Charles imperial
chancellor prince of the kingdom of
Prussia and Prussian president of the
council of ministers He was born at
Klein Flottbeck Holstein in 1S40 and
is the son of a German statesman who
was himself a distinguished diplomat
and was once secretary of state for
foreign affairs The chancellors ca
reer has been somewhat meteoric and
he owes his recent successes largely to
the fact that he is about the only man
who can control the kaiser He made
his way into the hitters good graces
and has contrived to stay there in spite
of every difficulty that has arisen
Somewhat less than a year ago on tin
wedding day of the crown prince the
kaiser elevated him to the dignity of a
prince and about the same time he in
herited a fortune of over 1000000
The character of Jefferson Davis
now governor of Arkansas but pro
spective member of the senate from
that state is described by the compre
hensive word picturesque He is the
very opposite of the dignified senator
James K Berry whose seat in the sen
ate he is expected to take next year as
he has defeated Mr Berry in the Dem
ocratic primaries
anu tne result is
binding upon the
Democratic mem
bers of the legisla
ture who constitute
the majority of that

When President Roosevelt visited Ar

to don a high hat in honor of the pres
ence of the chief magistrate To friends
who urged him to do so he said Why
the wood haulers wouldnt know me in
those togs
When the hour for luncheon arrived
Governor Davis refused to attend
President Roosevelt urged him to do
so It finally developed that Powell
Clayton former ambassador to Mexico
was to be one of the guests Mr Clay
ton is a resident of Arkansas a re
minder of the days of reconstruction
Davis insisted that the militia under
Clayton killed his aunt
Well governor asked President
Roosevelt cant we persuade you to
join us Is there anything personal in
this
Oh no returned Davis nothing
personal at all Its only because that
cuss killed my aunt
Governor Davis was once criticised
because while professing friendship
for the common people he lives In a
fine house in Little Rock Of course
I have a fine house said he replying
to his critics in a speech I got that
house to entertain my friends the plain
