HATS WRONG IDEA
STATESMAN ERRED IN SETTING
LIMIT OP USEFULNESS.
According te His Theory a Man Had
Succeeded er Failed af the Age
v. of 40 But Time Proved
Ita Falsity.
..
A quarter of a century ago I was
visiting John Hay at Whitelaw Reid's
house in New York, whfch Hay was
occupying for a few months while
Reid was absent on a holiday hi Eu
rope, says Hark Twain In his auto
biography in the North American Re
view. Temporarily also, Ray was edit
ing Reid's paper, the New York Trib
une. I remember two incidents of
that Sunday visit particularly well.
In trading remarks concerning our
ages I confessed to 42 'and Hay to 40.
Then he asked if I had begun to write
my autobiography and I said I hadn't
He said that I ought to begin at once
and that I had already lost two years.
Then he said in substance this:
"At 40 a man reaches the top of-the
hill of life and starts down on ..the
sunset side. The ordinary man, the
average man, not to particularize too
closely and say the commonplace man,
has at that age succeeded or failed;
in either case he has lived all his life
that is likely to be worth recording;
also la either case the life lived is:
worth .setting down, and cannot fail.

spite of himself, for bis facts and his
fictions will work loyally together for
the protection of the reader; each fact
and each fiction win be" a dab of paint
each will fall in its right place, and.
together they win paint his portrait;
not the portrait he thinks they are
painting, but his real portrait the In
side of him, the soul of him, his char
acter. Without intending to lie he
will lie all the time; not bluntly, con-:
sclously, not dully unconsciously,, but
half-conscionsly consciousness in
twilight; a soft and gentle and merci
ful twilight which makes his general
form comely, with his virtuous promi
nences and projections discernible
and his ungracious ones in shadow.
His truths will be recognized ah
truths, bis modifications of facts
which would tell against him will go
for nothing, the reader wllf see the
Tact, through the film and know his
- "There la a subtle, devilish some
thing or other about autobiographical
composition that defeats all the. writ
er's attempts to paint his portrait bis
way."
Hay meant that he and. I were ordi
nary average commonplace people,
and I did not resent my share of the
verdict but I nursed my wound in
silence. His idea that we had finished
our work hi life, passed the summit
,and were westward bound downhill,
with me two years ahead of him and
neither of us with anything further
to. do as benefactors to mankind, was
all a mistake. I had written four
books then, possibly five. I have been

I know, a man, a father of five chil

Brown. Not one minute of the day
are they idle. If this father should
happen to find one of them unem
ployed he 'would immediately expand
Ids chest and give a long lecture on
the pernicious habit of idleness. It is
a strenuous household, indeed; no
member of it is allowed one moment
to himself it is all do,, do, do. Now,

STATE At LIQUOR StLLEIt.
An Exaorimswt in Gwalia, West
traHa,'Rianrm taccsaafally.
The West Australian state govera
meat'a experiment In liquor haalaesa
control at the mining center of Gwaha
has managed' to live through criticism,
aad now appears to be a firmly estab
lished institution.
Within the last few days the aew
chairman of committees of the senate,
Senator Pearce, has come forward
with first hand testimony. He and
stayed a week end at the state hotel
at Gwalia, aad has now told a public
meeting In this city how he found pre
vailing conditions, says a Melbourne
letter to the London Chronicle.
Senator Pearce found that the man
ager of the hotel was paid a good sal
ary and had no interest ia adulterat
ing drink or trading during prohibited
hours. The hotel was strictly for
public convenience, and there was ao
more incentive to make men drink
beer than there was for a station mas
ter at a railway station to sell tickets..
The result was that there was no sign
of drunkenness about the towa.
When a man was disposed to drink
more than he could afford or was good
for him there was machinery for exer
cising control over him. All that had
to be done was for the man's wife or
relative to speak to the manager of
the hotel, and then the barman re
ceived instructions that he was to be
served with only two long1 beers a
day one when going on to his mining
"shift" and one coming ot!. The min
ers called this being placed under the
Dog act" No one, however, outside
the complainant, the maanger, or the
barman need be Informed as to who
was on the list except said Senator
Pearce with a sly smile, when the pro
scribed man himself lectured his fel
lows on their disgusting intemper
ance in calling for more than two
drinks a day. On Sunday not a drink
was sold or asked for.
The Gwalia State hotel, after pay
ing all expenses and supplying a
splendid table and excellent bedroom
accommodation, now cleared a profit
of 15,000 per annum out of pure
liquors. The manager regarded him
self as a guardian of the people, who
would not give them poison to drink
nor allow them to abuse the privilege
of obtaining pure liquor.
Siamese Object to Walking.
The Siamese, above all nations In
the world, hate to walk; no such mode
of progression is tolerated by a Siam
ese if he or she can by any means
ride. A Venetian gondolier will walk
sometimes; even a Hollander will ride
on his rough cart; but a Bangkok man

real man that way. A real man makes
himself. If he has the' guidance of a
thoughtful parent, so much the better
for him; but, remember at all times,
you can't make your boy what' you
want him to be. You can help but
that's all.
Don't make the boy dependent on
you for thought Teach him to think.
Give him time to himself in which to
think it all out and the chances are
he will develop into something. Let
the boy dream. Don't worry if he
shows a disinclination to saw wood
and pile it up in' the cellar at ten
cents an hour. Maybe the reason he
doesn't care for this is because he is
thinking up ways to make other peo
ple saw wood. And they say that is
the better plan.
I remember a boy back home who
had that faculty of making others saw
wood. He worked on the younger fel
lows in such a way that they consid
ered it a great privilege to be allowed
to do his chores for him. Whenever
his father caught him directing others
ia their task of joy he thrashed him,
as dutiful parents did in those days.
But this boy could not be downed so
.--fc - .1 h'""
in spite of his father. Now he has
about 100 men sawing mental wood
for him, -while he sits in the mahogany-furnished
office two or three hours'
a day.
Let the boy dream. Give him a
chance to think; guide him if you will,
but don't drive him. That worn-out
proverb, "You can lead a horse to wa
ter, but you can't make bim drink."
could be remodeled into a useful
maxim for the parent "You can lead
a boy to work, but you can't make him
think."

The Russian government intends to
carry out a series of work connected
with improving the conditions and

Baltic provinces, will be taken te
