The mania for money -making has
developed Into downright madiies".
And the explanation Is easy. I'eoplc
ee that It Is fast becoming the chief,
If not the only, standard of respect
ability. When Talleyrand was asked
f he was not ashamed lo sell his In
fluence In making treaties under the
(first empire he replied: "My friend, do
you not see (bat there are but two
jibing left In France money and the
(guillotine?" We are rapldty opproach
Jrur the period In our own history when
there will be but two things left lu
America money and contumely.
There are certain Americans who
ire money mad. They want to make
Inllllons upon millions and make tlnm
jfu a minute. Then; are a great many
(more America lis who are inad.'e :: d
by the thought that anybody unoiiM
(have a million. Between those w)i
re trying to pile up and those who
(are bound to tear down there Is a
furious combat, productive of iiumer
;ous Incidental disunities among the by
standers. Both parties have been
driven too fast and too far by their
mania. It la time for them to get
sobered and take some thought about
the common Interest.
Darwin and the Bible agree perfectly
mi ent point that the a foe of the
fetbera atoll be flatted upon the cbll
f73 tsto tkt tkW and fonts geaora-
tlm. Similarly, If th Bible had takes
the matter up for Its material rather;
than its spiritual significances, it is1
quite probable that they would have
agreed upon anotfVr point that that
which is good, strong, possessing the'
merit not only of Inheritance but of
performance, is sure to survive.
Wbar it excellent.
As find liven, in permanent.
Save within narrow lines occasion
ally and mysteriously drawn by fate,
or destiny, or providence, or whatever
name we may ctiwe l" give to the
force that the Indians call the Power-that-Makes,
the meritorious race, the
deserving family, cannot commit sui
cide. "Fine families" wittier away, to
be sure. They narrow down to a sin
gle life, and that is some day snuffed
out. But can we be sure that tliey had
not, by the acts and choice of their
members, imported Inti their own
veins the poison of which they lan
guished? 1'hyslea! vigor alone de not
tell the whole story of the Illness to
survive. We have seen stalwart
swarms enter our country from Europe
which have faded away nlm st at a
breath, because they had not moral
strength. Nor does mental strength
alone suffice, by any means. Life lies
f the point of equilibrium. Nature is
partial to those who respect her. She
condemns to death thow who do not.
Moreover, while she had obliterated
more than one people who loved her
without wisdom, she has never sign d
the death warrant of a race or a people
who kept an eye upon her prohibitions
as well as upon her permissions. If
In this land, to-day, nature dooms fam
ilies or racial strains to extinction, it
is because it Is better that they should
be extinguished. And If there Is a race
or an element that fancies that It 1r
committing suicide, it should cease to
flatter Itself. It is simply fulfilling the
sentence of an inexorable, a VBstly
beneficent, law.
The lonesomest human creature in
the world is a boy. In the life of to
day he Is allowed, like "Topsy," to
"Just grow." True, he Is given the
switch as often as he deserves It, and
maybe oftener, and he Is "corrected"
a good deal more than is good for him,
but aside from these interferences
he Is left pretty free to solve in his
own way the mysteries of the exist
ence that whirls about him aad of
which he is so unimportant a part
Everything Is done for the entertain
ment and embellishment of tba girl.
Hot doll is Inseparable from ber hands
and heart. She has her little parties,
real and make-believe. Everything
she does meets fond parental approval.
Hex whole childhood Is a happy but
terfly existence lu sunshine aud am'd
flowers. As iong as the boy Is the
baby he la the whole thing. But when
the baby sister comes to usurp his
place, be becomes nothing. He la
then deemed to be able to take care
of himself. He Is allowed to sit
alone, with his thumb in his mouth,
pondering solemnly upon the favorit
ism displayed by fond but frail human
ity. He settles grave questions of
ethics iu his own way. He perceives
that right and wrong are very Indefi
nitely marked out by a wavering, ob
scure line between a kiss and a switch,
on one side of this line he knows it
Is all black, anil on the other side, all
white, but Just where the line runs he
cannot always tell. And by and by he
makes the momentous discovery that
this line can be shifted by excuses
and evasions, and that excuses when
not readily at hand can be Invented.
And thus he learns to lie, becuue the
channels of sympathy have become
dammed up by fear and the sole out
let for tho lonely broodiugs is through
cunning. The first He that a boy tell
to a parent Is registered lu heaven as
a hideous crime, not against the child,
but against the parent. But It is uc
epoch In the boy's life. Then whet
he becomes twelve or fourteen years of
uge he censes to be a boy without
becoming a man. If he was neglected
V before, he is utterly misunderstood
now. He Is that worst of enigmas
an enigma to himself. It Is now that
his thoughts become the "long, iong
thoughts" of which -the poet teiln aud
which only a poet's dreams may
fathom. These thoughts spurn tho
sterile present mid span the far fu
ture. It Is now that he Is better ah.lie.
He has come into his element. Long
lugs give him spirit and yearnings
give him strength for tho content that
awaits him. Wo talk about certain
Hiioecssful men being "self-made." But
no one who sympathetically observe
the life of the average boy can doubt
that every man who amounts to uny

trial of Chauncy Dewey and his cow
