OPINIONS OF GREAT PAPERS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS
LIVING ON LESS THAN 51,000 A YEAR.
JS'E of the leading banks of Chicago has posted
order that none of its employes who Is
'receiving ' a salary of less than § 1,000 a year
shall marry without first consulting the bank's
officials and getting their approval. The more
'spirited ' employes of the bank are likely to
resent this order as an impertinent attempt
to encroach upon their personal liberties. The average man
considers it his right to get married when and to whom
he pleases , regardless of possible consequences to himself
nnd his bride or of the wishes of his "boss. " But , while
the order may seem an infringement of personal rights , its
enforcement may nevertheless promote the good of those
{ whose liberties It restricts.
Hard as it may seem to persons enjoying much larger.
Incomes , there is no question that it is possible for a young
couple to live happily and in tolerable comfort even in a
large city on less than $1,000 a year. On an income , say ,
of $75 a month , whether they board or "keep house , " they
can have sufficient to eat , fairly agreeable surroundings ,
decent clothes and such diversions as good books , a few
friends and occasional visits to the parks and the theater
afford. It is true , of course , that to have these things they
must economize closely ; and even though they practice the
most rigorous economy there is not much probability that
their savings will accumulate so fast as soon to make
them bloated plutocrats.
The trouble is not that a couple cannot live honestly ,
decently and happily on less than Sl.OOO a year in a city ,
and even raise a family on it fairly well. The trouble is
Hhat too many of the young men and women of American
*
cities , and especially the young men. form habits before
they think of marrying which unlit them later to sustain
the burdens of the state of matrimony on so small an in
come. Extravagance is one of our national vices. It is
especially prevalent among the young bachelors of cities.
It is probably no exaggeration to say that a majority of
tliem habitually spend all that they make. Now , while one
person can live easily and have some luxuries in a city on
a smal salary of from $70 to $100 per month , two people ,
as we have already indicated , cannot get along decently
on it without "scrimping. " But the man or woman who
has not practiced "scrimping" before marriage will not
probably form a liking for doing so after marriage. The
too frequent result , therefore , of marriages on small sal
aries in cities is that the married pair live beyond their
means and accumulate debts and misery instead of a com
petency and happiness ; and debts and misery , as every
body knows , leads men daily into different forms of crime
and deeper misery.
No doubt it is for the purpose of saving their employes
from these unfortunate results of improvident marriages
nnd its own cash from the fingers of persons suffering from
them , that the Chicago bank has posted its unique notice.
If the order is effective it is likely to benefit rather than
injure those whose freedom of action it hampers. Kan

THE RUSH TO CITIES.
I HE Indiana State Board of Public Instruction
has made a valiant attempt to stem the tide of
Indiana boys flowing in greater numbers every
year into Chicago. It has issued a circular let
ter to all the teachers in the State , calling
I attention to the alarming extent of 'such emi
gration and urging them to exert all their
influence against it.
"It will be a sad day for our national life , " says the
board and it is right "when all the young farmers move
to town and the small , well-cultivated homesteads give way
to big landed estates. "
The rush of population to the cities is truly one of
the most serious menaces to our national life , but thus f.r
no way has boon found to check it. It had no existence
until after the war. In 1SGO only about 12 per cent of the
inhabitants of the United States lived in the cities ! The
war unsettled the minds of men who theretofore had been
contented to remain in their homes , and accordingly the
census of 1S70 showed that fewer people continued satis
fied with farm life , for the percentage of urban population
had risen to nearly 21 per cent. Since then it has steadily
grown until , in 1900 , more than 33 of every 100 Americans
were living in cities.
The tendency is even stronger than it seems , for In
the past few years much has been done to remove or miti
gate many of the causes of complaint against the farmer's
life , i Railway building has brought the most remote dis-
PIONEER INDEPENDENCE. $
*
Country life and city life to-day are
made delightful by countless conven
iences and luxuries of which the
grandfathers of the present generation
did not dream. These conveniences
are , nevertheless , purchased at the
price of more or less of that sturdy
independence which distinguished the
pioneers , and of which George Gary
Eggleston has given an attractive pic
ture in "The First of the Hoosiers , "
which is In a sense the story of the
life of his brother , Edward Eggleston.
In the days of Edward Eggleston's
boyhood the foremost citizen of Vevay ,
Ind. , was Captain William Lowry. He
had conquered his worst enemy when
he had cleared the forest from such
lands as he wished to till , and from
the first he relied upon himself for the
satisfaction of his needs and the needs
of his family.
The family grew rapidly as families
usually did in that time and country ;
but under the primitive way of living
the multiplication of children was a
help rather than a hindrance to pros
perity. To the end of his days Cap
tain Lowry and his boys and girls pro
duced for themselves everything they
needed to eat drink and wear , with
the exception of salt , coffee , tea , and ,
as prosperity increased , a calico gown
now and then as a bit of finery for the
women folks.
AOn the farm itself the cotton and
wool needed for clothing were grown ,
carded , spun , woven and fashioned
into garments. The blankets on the
beds , as well as the quilts , and the
sheets and the pillow-cases , which
were made of home-grown linen , were
produced in like manner.
The sugar-camp , a vast grove ot
sugar-maple trees , yielded all the sugar
and molasses used on the place. From
the orchards came , besides a great
7
tricts into touch with the nationai centers of trade. Trol
ley lines have gridironed all the Middle West , and Indiana
especially. The rural free delivery system has given the
farmer a daily mail service , and by means of the telephone
he is en rapport with all the world. Besides all this , we
have had a succession of fat years , so that the farmer is
now prosperous beyond all precedent.
Nevertheless , all this has not kept the young man on the
farm where he was born. As soon as he was old enough
he made his way to the nearest large city , where , sleeping
in unsanitary and cramped quarters , eating unwholesome
and adulterated food in cheap restaurants , and working
In unaccustomed ways harder than any farmer has to
work , he managed at the sacrifice of all the independence
and self-respect of his manhood to make a precarious liv
. ing. And for what good ?
Let the thousands of joyless boarding houses that line
decaying streets and the other thousands of flimsy and
stuffy flats occupied by people who are getting their exist
ence , as they get their furniture , on the installment plan
let these answer. What is the fascination that keeps their
tenants chained to the wheel of urban poverty , toil , hard
ship and obscurity in an ugly and depressing environment ?
Benjamin Franklin said that it was a hard case indeed
when you could not find a reason for doing what you
wanted to do. But who that might be his own master
on his own farm can give a reason for wanting to ex
change his lot for degrading slavery in a large city ?
Reason or no reason , such are the facts , and there seems
to be no chance of altering them at present It is possible ,
however , that the Indiana board's idea of informing the
farmer's children of the drawbacks of life in the city and
impressing their young minds with the idea { hat life in
the country is much more to be desired may in time have
a good effect. In any case , this is a matter that deserves
the most serious thought on the part of all patriotic citi
zens. Chicago Journal.
A TURNING POINT IN HISTORY.
HE present war is likely to be a turning point
in history. Many times before has the immemorial
T
memorial fight between the East and the AVest
reached such a climax , and to-day the Japanese
may feel that they are associated with the
great defenders of history. They fight to-day
as the Greeks fought the Persians , the Franks
the Moors , the Magyars the Turks. Since the Turks were
stopped at the Danube the larger history of the world has
written the slow conquest of the East by the West. The
process has known no stay. It has been subject to no
such checks as for a thousand years earlier the great inva
sions from the East had invariably met. But the aggres
sion of Europe was all the more formidable that it was
largely peaceful. Manchester prints and Brummagem
ware , articles made in Germany , and American cottons
have been much better battle "
cries than "The Korean or
the sword. " And gradually most of Asia has come to live
subject to the will of Europe and on condition of buying
European goods. All of Asia to-day , except China "and
Japan , is prdtty definitely marked out for ultimate "ccu-
pation by some European power. If Japan is humiliated
and China partitioned , the process will be completed ; the
East as a political entity will have been destroyed , the
East as a peculiar civilization will have been profoundly
impaired. New York Post
Japanese Progressiveness.
HE Japanese always want the latest "tip" of
science ; they are all for progress. It is inter
esting to note that
they have established com
munication across the Bay of Korea by wireless
telegraphy , sending messages from Chemulpo
to Chefoo , a distance of 270 miles.
Of course the messages are not very elabor
ate , and we can imagine some simple signals being arranged
beforehand , and the Japanese would know for certain that
there was no danger of their news being intercepted in any
way by the Russians.
For the rough purpose of war it can quite be believed
that the Japanese , with their extreme curiosity as to what
is new , have rigged up in a few ships' instruments capable
of taking in signals with the assistance of some of their
skilled civilian telegraphists on board.
Ashore the army will run their field telegraphs , at which
they are adepts , and afloat the navy will use dispatch boats ,
flags and flashing signals. The Japanese flashing lamp is
peculiayly powerful in fact , better than anything we have
in the British navy. London Telegraph.
store of apples , an abundance of cider
and vinegar , apple butter , peach but
ter , dried fruits and cider molasses ,
lue dairy yielded milk , cream , cheese
and butter in lavish abundance.
The poultry-yards produced more
than the home demand called for , tot
the surplus was never sold. Much of
it was given away to less fortunate
folk.Beef , pork , bacon and mutton
were all products of the farm. The
grain was ground in near-by watermills -
mills , and the miller was paid his
"toll , " not in coin , but in a portion of
the grain.
In all his life this sturdy pioneer
never had a servant or hired helper of
any kind in his house. All the work
of the household was done by the
members of the family working to
gether in willing co-operation , making
something of a frolic out of much of
the work ; and not one of them ever
had work enough to bring more than
a healthy and pleasant weariness.
The house was a generously hospit
able one. Rarely came a time when
there were not some of the numerous
relatives staying there , as all of them
loved to do. The place was a kind of
Mecca to them all. Strangers were
entertained , too , whenever their paths
led into that region ; but no presence ,
whether of visiting kinsfolk or of pass
ing strangers , was ever suffered to
make the smallest difference in the
family life.
Whether there were many guests or
none in the house , there was always
an abundantly laden table , and there
were beds in plenty. There was sing
ing in the evening , and if the weather
was cold there was always a gathering
of children , and often of young men
and maidens , round the great wood
fires , where nuts were cracked and
apples roasted , while one or more of
the girls played a merrily humming ac
companiment on her spinning wheel.
Some of the girls liked spinning
some did not Those who liked it did
it : those who did not let it alone. That
was the spirit in which all these things
were done in the house and on the
fariR.
Ho\v Animals Travel.
American railroads have almost as
many different kinds of cars for carry
ing animals as they have car's for pas
sengers. a
One kind of car that is used for ship
ping horses is known techrfically as a
palace horse car , and , excepting for
fine woodwork and brasswork , it is a °
palace car , giving horses fine accommo
dations.
Each horse has his own stateroom ,
so to speak , for the car is fitted with
independent stalls. Each stall has
manger and water trough , and over
head are racks for holding extra fsed.
[
Sheep and hogs are often carried ic
cars with two stories. These are knownS
as double-deckers , and the animals are
shipped in both stories. They have
room to lie down in and water is sup t
plied to them from pipes. h
Horses and cattle are sidetracked at
intervals if the cars are making a long d
run , and the beasts are led out and al
d
lowed to run around for exercise. Then
g
they are driven back to their cars and
resume their journey.
Sheep are often unloaded within a
few miles of their destination and
turned loose to rest and feed until they aa ao
are in good flesh. This is not done o
merely from motives of humanity. It
has been found that the sheep are so [ >
much improved by it that they bring
higher prices when they reach the mar

SONGS MY MOTHER SANG.
I hear them in the whispering winds ,
The forest's rhythmic strain ,
The chime of bells , that sinks and swells
The patter of the rain.
I hear them in the vesper call
Of birds from copse and tree ;
Each note prolongs the dear old songs
That mother sang to me.
I hear them in the ocean's voice ,
The prattle of a child ,
The dashing rill , the fountain's trill ,
The tempest fierce and wild.
I hear them through the silent night ,
In dreams they echo free ,
Since memory throngs with tender sougs
That mother sang to me.
I heard them when a babe I lay
Upon her loving breast ,
Ana" when a child their charms beguiled
My eager brain to rest
I hear them now , and some last hour
Across death's swelling sea
My soul shall wing , while angels sing
The songs she saiig to me.

TJRRAH for the biggest old
grizzly in the mountains here
we go for him I" I cried , as we
started out from our mining camp ,
near the Little Colorado River , for a
day's hunt
We were seven in number all of
us stout , sunburned fellows , and all
save one accustomed to the hardships
of a life in Arizona. That one was a
lad from Maine named Tom Granville ,
who had been with us but a short time ,
but to whom I had already taken a
fancy for his quiet and pleasant man
ner. He was a tall , awkward youth ,
'out intelligent and not afraid of work.
His inexperience made him the vic
tim of some practical jokes , but , how
ever keenly he may have felt such im
positions , his good nature remained
unruffled.
Our men believed that the smooth
spoken young chap had no great spirit ;
but , though he may have guessed their
thoughts , he made no attempt to con
vince them to the contrary.
There was not a particle of "brag"
about him. He had hunted in Maine ,
he said , but had never killed anything

ot much consequence. In speaking of .
grizzlies , he remarked that he should .
like a chance at one , but should wish ,
to have a good tree at hand in the
meantime , as he had heard that those
sharp-nosed fellows were hard to kill.
We had scattered rather widely upon
the hunt * n order to increase the
chances of success. But , for my own
part , I was 'unable to get a shot at P
ti
any large game , and as I heard no
firing from the others it seemed prob d
able that they , too , were having only
their labor for their pains.
At length I fell in with Tom Gran
ville , and we tramped together. Tom
had killed nothing. He had seen a. few
deer at a distance , but it had been impossible IIti
ti
possible to get near them. titi

As we continued our course others
of our party were occasionally seen to
the right or left , but there was not
. single rifle report far or near.

"We shall do a wonderful day's
work nit" remarked Tom , with a
laugh. "Why , I thought a fellow
a'
could pick up a wagon load of deer
t
In this country by just tramping out
a mile or two ! "
of
Presently the remainder of our party fi
joined us , so that the seven were once
more together. But the last three had
very disagreeable intelligence. They
had discovered unmistakable signs of
ndians and such a discovery was
sufficient to give us uneasiness.
It was now necessary to be careful
In our movements ? as we might at any
moment come suddenly upon some hos
tile band. However , we concluded to
tiunt for a while longer.
So we again started out with shoul- tc
Jered'guns , while a short-tailed white tcPi
log , owned by one of the men , went PiOJ
scurrying away before us. OJui
This time we kept well together , but ui

advance of- the rest and upon arriving
at the first tree he came to a halt
leaning his back against the trunk as
if tired.
The dog , running on a little beyond
him , stopped and commenced sniffing
with his nose in the air , ' as if scenting
a raccoon or other game among the
foliage overhead.
I remember that there were thre *
of us close together , and three others
a little behind.
Suddenly from the treetops there
came a number of sharp reports
"crack ! crack ! crack ! " followed by a
succession of startling yells.
I felt a slight sting in the breast
and then a surprising weakness , which
caused me to fall , utterly unable to
support my own weight I have since
wondered if my sensations may not
have been like those of General Braddock -
dock when he was wounded on the
Monogahela.
One of the three men behind me fell
at the same time , but , unlike myself ,
he fell never to rise he was killed
dead on the spot
Caleb Allen. Percy Rawson and two
others sprang off at a full run , as they
saw no chance of returning the fire
with effect ; so that there remained no
one near me except the dead mail and
Tom Granville. *
Totn had been protected by the tree
against which ne leaned , and I think
it likely that the Indians from their
position could not see the spot where
he stood. Probably in lthe confusion
they may have supposed that he had
fled or been killed.
He had now turned with his back tea
a tree , and pressing his body close
against it , he stood wholly motionless.
A stir among the cedar boughs told
that the red miscreants were about
coming down to scalp the dead and
wounded and pursue the flying.
I think the actions of the dog had
caused them to fire sooner than they
otherwise would have done ; but be
this as it may , the intervening
branches probably prevented them
from shooting at the men who were
running.
Never had my hair appeared more
precious to me than when I heard the
yelling monsters in the act of descend
ing the trees. And what could Tom
Granville be thinking of that he did
not run for his life ?
All at once I saw his rifle gleam as
he clapped the breach up to his face.
There was a steady , deadly aim then
"bang" it spoke. The report was fol
lowed by a sort of "scratchy" sound on
the tree trunk , and next a dead , heavy
"clump" on the ground.
I knew that Tom could fire sixteen
charges from his repeater without re
loading ; and now I saw his purpose.
There might not be sixteen Indians ,
but whether less or more , he would
thin them out terribly before any of
them could get to the ground alive
from their height of forty feet.
Then "bang ! bang ! bang" almost as
fast as one could count , rang out the
Maine boy's rifle ; and for every
"bang ! " there was that wretched
"clump ! " as a body fell to the earth.
The redskins were nine in number ,
and six of them were killed in their
atempt to descend. A seventh was shot
just as he reached the ground ; while
iie remaining two succeeded in mak
ing their escape.
Our four companions had halted
upon hearing Tom's rapid fire and see
ing him apparently still unharmed ;
but the affair was so quicklj- over that
,
they had no opportunity to assist him.
My own wound was now attended
to , after which the poor fellow who
had fallen by the fire of the savages
was buried in a shallow grave , which
was dug with knives and stakes , and
protected by a pile of stones. I was
then placed on a litter of cedar boughs
and so conveyed to camp on the shoul
ders of the stout miners.
It is probable that the Indians who
had fired upon us had seen us at some
distance , and , supposing that we
would keep a straight course for the
little thicket had climbed into the
trees to await us , when the fear that
the dog had scented them caused them
to hurry matters and commence the
attack too soon.
My wound proved a severe onet and
was long before I recovered.
Our men broke up the mining camp ,
which had never been very profitable
at the best , and retired to safer quar
ters , taking me along with them.
It is needless to say that the fame s
Tom Granville spread like a prairie
fire. He was lionized , not only by the
miners , but by all others.
His modesty , however , continued un
,
changed , and he was the same simple ,
unaffected youth as before.
He has since , as I learn , become
wealthy ; but whatever his success in
life , I feel sure that it has been justlya.

Invention of Bells.
The invention of bells is attributed
Paulinus. bishop of Neola , in Cam ffi
pania , about the year 4CO. They were
originally introduced into churches as .
he
defense against thunder and light
ning.
Bells were first hung in England at
Croyland Abbey , Lincolnshire , in 945. aic an
the eleventh century and later it ic
was the custom to baptize them in icB
churches before they -were used. B
The curfew bell was established in
10US. It was rung at 8 o'clock in the
evening , when people were required
put out their fire and candle. This h
custom was abolished in 1100.
Chimes , or musical bells , were in a
vented at Alost , in Belgium , in 14S7.
Bellmen were appointed in London
the sixteenth century to ring the tito
to
bells at night and cry , "Take care of toe !
your fire and candle , be charitable to
the poor and pray for the dead. "

An Illinois Farmer in Western Can-
ads.
A recent Issue of the Shelby ville , Illi
nois , Democrat contains a long and in
teresting letter from Mr. Ellas Kost
formerly a prosperous farmer of that
State , who recently emigrated to West
ern Canada , taking up a claim for him
self and for each of his three sons.
From Mr. Kost's letter , which was
written Feb. 3 , 1904. we publish the
following , believing it will prove of
great interest to those who have con
templated settling in the Canadian
Northwest :
"I had in August , 1902 , secured a
claim for myself , and filed on three
quarter sections for my sons. My claim
is one-half mile south of the Edmon
ton and Lake St. Anne trail.
"Coming so late in the season , we
had little opportunity to break and to
prepare ground for a first year's crop ,
still we raised over 100 bushels of very
fine potatoes , and sowed a few acres
of barley , but the season was too far
advanced for the barley. However , we
secured good feed from it , and on rent
ed ground IS miles east of us , raised a
fine crop of oats , so that we will havey
plenty of feed for horses. We cut
about GO tons of hay and thus will
have an abundance. We have , all told ,
about 240 acres of hay meadow , which
would yield the past year over three
tons to the acre , and in an ordinary
season the meadow would furnish GOG
tons of hay. The grass is very nutri
tious , and cattle on the ranges become
very fat without being fed a pound of
grain.
"On the upland the grass grows from
eight to ten inches tall. .This is called
range grass , and is suitable for stock
at any time , even in the winter when
the ground is not covered too deep with
snow. Horses subsist on it alone , at
all times , provided they are native
stock. The grass in the hay meadows
here is called red-top , and grows from
five to six feet in length , and when cut
at the proper time yields an abundant
crop of nutritious hay.
"Our cattle have not cost us a cent
i
since we came on our homestead , only
the small outlay for salt and labor in
putting up hay and shelter. All cattle
have been doing well this winter , and
feeding up to the first of January was
unnecessary , as there was good range
up to that time.
"All the snows up to that dale were
followed by winds from the Northwest
that melt it very rapidly ; these winds
are called Chinook winds , and are al
ways warm. In one night a. Chinook
wind may take away three or four
inches of snow.
"We have built on our claim a com
fortable house of hewn logs , 20x20
feet , one and one-half stories in height ,
with a good cellar. During the latter
part of June -we rafted logs down the
Sturgeon to a sawmill , about eight
miles away , and thus secured 5,000 feet
of good lumber which was needed for
the house. Later in the season a shin
gle mill located six miles away. To
this we hauled logs and had shingles
cut for the roof.
"We had an abundance of wild fruit
lie past season , consisting of gooseber
ries , strawberries , raspberries , eyeber-
ries , blueberries , cherries and saska
toons. The latter are a fine looking
berry , red , and quite pleasant to the
taste , but not much to be desired in
cookery. The strawberries are tin *
same as those that grow wild in Illi
nois. Raspberries are red in color ,
large and equal to any of the tame
varieties , and so are the gooseberries.
The cranberries consist of the high and
trailing varieties. The latter are most
sought and contiguous to the swamps.
The ground is literally covered with
them as with a red carpet , but the best
and most sought is the blueberry , so
called by the Indians. This is the
famous 'huckleberry' ( whortleberry ) of
the Blue Ridge Mountains in Pennsyl
vania , and cannot be excelled for ex
cellence by any fruit cultivated. It is
found here both on the prairie and in
the timber in immense quantities.
"Game is very plentiful so far as
prairie chickens , pheasants , ducks of
all kinds and geese are concerned. We
have taken nearly 500 chickens and
pheasants , also a great many ducks.
"An occasional deer is seen , but are
not' plentiful , only one having been
taken during the season in this settle
ment.
"Fish are very plentiful at all sea
sons of the year. Fish wagons and
sleds are passing almost daily along
the . trail with heavy loads of fish , des
tined for St. Albert and Edmonton.
From the latter point they are ship
ped south on the Calgary and Edirson-
ton Railroad to points along the line ,
and also to Assiniboia , on the Canadian
Pacific Railroad. "
