ORDER that vengeance might not slumber, King Darius had
bis secretary to say to him each morning, “ Sire, remember
Athens,” and the Persian army was cut to pieces in the battle
of Marathon. Hannibal laid his hand on the altar and swore
vengeance against Romo, and the Carthagian army was annihilated
on the plains of Italy. Many a nation has gone to destruction or
wasted its energy in blindly following its leaders in an effort to
avenge grievances.

Large Increase in Manufacturing in
Cotton-Growing States. Galves-
ton First in Exporting Ports.
^Washington, D, C., Dec. 12.—
n P i MO ■ I* the Bureau of
****.-’ Census, is about to submit to Sec-
retary Nagel Census Bulletin 113 on
the supply aud distribution of cot-
ton in the United States for the
year ending August 31, 1911.
The total supply of cotton in the
United States for the year was 13,-
873,423 running bales, counting
round bales as half bales and includ-
ing linters. The total quantity of
cotton imported into the United
States was 236,114 bales of 500
pounds each. The equivalent of
4,923 bales was re-exported, leaving
in the country 231,191 bales of im-
ported cotton.
Of the total supply of cotton for
1911, 4,716,978 bales or 34 per cent,
were consumed in this country; 7,-
781,414 bales or 56.1 per cent, were
exported; while 1,375,031 bales or
9 9 per cent, remained in the country
at the close of the year.
Galveston, with 2,761,529 bales,
ranked first among the ports in the
export of cotton. New Orleans,
with 1,513,023 bales; Savannah,
with 913,430 bales; New York, with
744,479 bales and Wilmington, N.
C., with 383,112 bales follow in the
order named. The total quantity of
domestic raw cotton exported during
the year ending Juue 30, 191 i,
amounted to 8,067,882 bales of 500
pounds each, valued at $585,318,869.
Of this cotton, 3,461,054 bales or
42.9 per cent, went to the United
Kingdom; 2.202,707 bales or 27.3
per cent, to Germany, and„l,021,998
bales or 12.7 per cent, to France,
these three countries taking 82 9
per cent, of the total quantity ex-
ported.
Since 1890 the number of spindles
in the United States has more Ilian
doubled. The most significant fact,
the bulletin states, is the rapid
growth of cotton manufacturing in
the cotton-grow.ing states. During
the nine years ending with 1909, the
consumption in these states increas-
67.7 per cent, while in New Eng-
land states it increased only 12.3
!per cent.

pur industries fade and wither for
want of opportunity to widen and
expand. The Panama Canal is on-
ly three years away and the rush of
its waters will re-cast the commerce
of two hemispheres and demand ad-
ditional railroad facilities, improved
public highways and new industrial
enterprises. Less thaD one-fifth of
our soil is under cultivation and our
mineral lies undisturbed. We have
been straining at gnats and swal-
lowing camels so long that our di-
gestion is impaired and unless we
can completely right ourselyes with-
out delay, we are in danger of de-
veloping a chronic case of industrial
dyspepsia.
One does not have to climb a tree
to see how utterly dependent we are
upon those who govern to widen our
field of commerce and industry and
yet we find the paid servants of the
people spending their time and ener-
gies in trying to conquer each other
instead of subduing nature and
mastering trade.
Good roads are inseparably con-
nected with good schools.

R. A. LONG, BENEFACTOR.
I am going to give you some rather
unusual advice.
Make mouey.
Make it honestly. Make it and give
it away.
Say what you will, money as our so-
elety Is constituted at preamp Is n tre-
mendous power for good ns well as
evil.
There’s It. A. Long.
He is a Kansas City mlllloularo who
has made his money largely in buying
tlmberlands. And ho Is giving it away
with lavish hand. He helps to endow
to! logos, sends out missionaries and
gives to churches and charities.
For instance;
When it was proposed to build a hos-
pital In Kansas City, It. A. Long said,
“Lot’s make it one of the largest and
best in the world.” And he went down
in his pocket and gave about half the
proposed cost of the big institution.
Said Mr. Long, "I mnko it one of
tbo conditions that one-third of the
beds of this hospital shall ho free to
the poor.”
Is.not that flno?
Make money—honestly—and give it
away because ofdihe world’s need.
Colleges, churches, hospitals, homes
for the friendless and little children,
humane societies, night schools, asso-
ciated charities—all these worthy
causes make uu appeal that only may
be met with money.
Make money—honestly—and give it
nway because you can thus multiply
yourself. A »
One time E. A. Nye is just E. A.
Nye. But one thousand times R. A.
Long is a thousand It. A. Longs. And
a thousand R. A. Longs is a thousand
times E. A. Nye—arid then some.
Do vm» see? ..........
Make money—honestly—and give it
nway because of the happiness it will
bring you.
We are a!! of zs shut up to this limi-
tation. To bo happy we must give,
either of self or money, and the more
we give the happier we may be. lie
who is stingy cannot be happy, no is
not built that way. Nor can the gener-
ous man who sees the world’s need and
is unable to supply it be as happy
he would like to be.
Make money—honestly.
Make it and give it away to the
cause that needs—because when you
lie down in your long, last sleep—
All you can hold la your dead cold hand
Is what you have given away.
YOUR. BACK YARD.
Do you remember or have you heard
it—Dr. (Jonwcll’s lecture on “Acres of
Diamonds?”
Conwell tells this story:
A man of South Africa wandered for
several 'years, prospecting over veldt
and kopje, searching for a diamond
mine. Discouraged by his failures, he
settled down in a house.
One day while digging in his back
yard he came across a tind which ou
development resulted in the discovery
of a rich mine of diamonds.
And the moral?
Plainly enough, what Conwell makes
it—the need of conserving and using
all your resources, however small. “Iu
your back yard,” says the lecturer,
“are acres of diamonds.”
While the prospect of finding literal
diamonds in your back yard is rather
farfetched, nevertheless there is wealth
to be had.
Take a look at it.
Have you made of your back yard a
dumping place for refuse, cluttered it
with offensive rubbish? If so clean it
up and give it a chance. Change it
from n liability to an asset.
Lc-aru from the Japanese.
When the Jap comes to this country
ho is amazed at the neglect of our
premises. In Japan every inch of the
little holdings, however small, is culti-
vated. The front yards blossom as
the rose, and the back yards grow half
the living of the household.
Do you -waste your back yard?
Properly tended, when the spring
comes it has big possibilities of garden
stuff. Even a small space is worth
while. A few square feet will bring
forth au astonishing quantity of table
delicacies.
Besides—
There is the possibility of beautifica-
tion. A few cents expended for pro-
fuse blooms like sweet peas and a va-
riety of climbing vines will do much
to hide ugly surroundings and trans-
form your back yard into a bower of
beauty.
There's wealth in your back yard if
you will dig for it.
We Americans arc so accustomed to
big fields aud large acreage that we are
ouly just beginning to appreciate whal
may be done by intensive cultivation
of small areas.
Dig iu your back yard.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Over and above the necessaries and
the ordinary comforts of life what do
you want?
You must want something.
That is prioved by the fact that you
are dissatisfied. The cheaper thiuga
of life do uol sutlsfy you. Then what
is it you want?
Will you let me suggest?
First.—You want to be what you
were intended to be. Anything less
than that will not do. You were de-
signed for a purpose, just as the plant,
the animal.
You want to be what you were built
to be. And you try, though awkward-
ly perhaps or in a roundabout, bliud
sort of way. Nevertheless—
Down deep in you 1s the unauend

able want. You wish to be as intelli-
gent, ns strong, as tine, as you were
intended to be.
Is it not so?
Second —You want to be as useful
In your day and generation ns you
were designed to be. I care not how
stupidly selfish you may have suc-
ceeded iu making yourself, you can
never quite get over the feeling that
you are under obligation to help your
fellows.
If you could live by yourself and for
yourself aud of yourself it might be
different. You would never know the
pull on our heartstrings. But you are
a fraction of humanity, incomplete of
yourself. You belong to the other
fraction.
Even the grafters and the misers
come at last to feel that they owe a
great deal more than they own.
Third.—You wTnnt to be remembered
when you are gone. He is very low
down in whose heart is no desire to
live in the esteem of his kind after he
Is dead. .
That desire is the quenchless longing
of your personality.
Now—
You will not be satisfied until you
enn be what you were mnde to be,
until you are of use to those about
you, until you feel the world will miss
you when you are gone.
What course of conduct will lend to
the nceoaipHshment of these natural
desires?
Ah, that finds the sore place!
Which proves that you are not al-
ways quite willing to try to be what
you would like to be.
There are others like you.
LONELINESS.
There are those who dread to be
alone for as much as half an hour at
one time.
Which is -a sad confession.
One must greatly be lacking in men-
tal resources who caunot entertain
himself.
On the other hand—
To most of us, I think, comes, every
now and then an overpowering wish
to be alone, not merely for half an
hour, but for half a day or longer.
To be sure, no one liveth to himself,
and there is great need of human fel-
lowship and the touch of elbows and
diversion and change.
But-
One who has cultivated the habit of
being alone betimes, who frnds a keen
pleasure iu doing his owu sweet will,
who is content to be what ho is and
where he is—this one has learned one
of the secrets of resourcefulness.
For it is true, as Robert Louis Ste-
venson has said:
“After all, it is not tney who carry
Hags, but they who look upon it from
a private chnmber, who have the fun
of the procession.”
Surely!
Watch from your quiet place the hur-
rying, sweaty crowd, bursting hither
and yon, and let philosophy teach you
the fun of it. Watch the procession
from the baud wagon lu front to the
calliope in the roar. Does it not add
to your pleasure that you flaunt no
flags and beat no drums?
Or list to nature’s teaching:
Walk uul of doors by yourself in this
big world, sky overhend, God above,
and youI
Follow your freakish fancy where it
leads, over highways or in byways.
Open wide your soul to each impres-
sion. Make yourself, as Stevenson
says, “a pipe for any wind to blow
upon.” What company of mortals can
give such pleasure?
And the solitude of books —
Who would not wish to be much
alone to live with the best and wisest
souls of every age? Earth has no
such company.
And to sit still with yourself aud of
yourself and contemplate—it is the di-
vinity that stirs wimin you.
Surely it is good to be alone.
No human was ever great or help-
ful or happy as he deserved who did
not understand the alluring possibil-
ity of being alone.
FIRESIDE GAMBLERS.
Because of the scandals connected
with certain whist clubs the police of
tho north side, Chicago, have started
a crusade against “fireside” gambling.
What is “fireside” gambling?
It is gambling indulged in by exclu-
sive society women. The fair game-
sters do not merely play whist for
prizes, but poker gumos for money.
The captain of police sent detectives
to warn certain hostesses, declaring
that if the gaming were not suppressed
ho would raid these homes the same
as if they tvere downtown gambling
Joints.
Mirnbile dictu!
According to the police, the poker
games are played" at frequent inter-
vals, some of the card clubs meeting
as often as five times a week. And
the stakes run higher than $100 at
times. And the women at whose
homes the clubs meet take a "rake-
off” of as much as $10 from each of
the players.
But wait; there’s more.
One woman complainant, a Mrs. Ten
Eyck, told the police she was robbed
in one of these aristocratic homos
while playing poker of $35 coutulned
in her hand bag.
Moreover—
It Is also learned that considerable
domestic discord has followed the rev-
ela lions of the police. Husbands who
hnd wondered at the sharp Increase In
household expenses saw n possible ex-
planation.
In short, some of these women hnd
been stealing In order to get tho mon-
ey to put up as stakes.
Which is a fine mess.
And as you read of these things you
tremble for the future of a country
I lulinod rrmnon n fhiio CClTUptCdL
But—
Remember tbia—these women ape of
the sort who dawdle away their short
forenoons with their malds_and hair-
dressers, spend their afternoons at tho
card parties and their evenings at the
theater.
They are but painted pnrasites, use-
less butterflies.
In their fireside gnmbllug they are
uo better than the professional spi-
ders that lure the foolish files into
their parlors, and the police do well to
make no distinction. Perhaps If they
did not gamble they would do some-
thing as bad.
But—
They are not real women. They nre
only the pampered pets of rich hus-
bands.
HIS LOSS AND GAIN.
She jilted him because his father was
a blacksmith.
Scarcely believable comes the story
from New York that a society girl of
that, city, engaged to a fine young busi-
ness man, broke the engagement when
she learned that the young man's fa-
thei\ living In the west, is a black
smith.
Ono wonders—
Does this pretentious young woman
know that tho head of the house of
Vanderbilt was a ferryman or that the
first of the Astors once peddled mouse-
traps?
Let’s see.
Taking the story as it comes, figure
what the young man lost and wbat he
gained by the broakinifot the engage
ment.
He lost a heartless girl.
He lost a girl who seemed to him the
fairest among ten thousand and alto-
gether lovely—and wasn’t
He lost u girl who cared so little for
him that she cared a great deal too
much whom his father might be.
And, what hurt most—
He lost a beautiful belief that sweet
appearing, gracious acting girls are not
always the simple, loving creatures
they may seem to be.
What did he gniff?
He gained his freedom from n girl
who was not what he thought she was.
a girl unworthy to be his wife.
He gained the privilege to go and
find a aweethe-art—and wife—who will
care so much for him that she will not
caro a rap who his father may bo.
And he gained the somewhat bitter
knowledge that, in this country, where,
theoretically, we are all on an equality,
there are snobbish young women who
have not sense enough to love a young
man for what he is and may become.
Now—
How dues the ledger stand?
Charge on the debit side a few
twinges of tho heart, a few fond re-
grets, perhaps a line in tho forehead of
tho young man that was not there be-
fore and that time may never erase..
That’s all on the debit side. How.
then, dues the balance sheet show?
Loss—Nothing except experience.
Gain—Everything, experience includ-
ed.
Elizabethan Excise Laws.
In striking contrast to the present
laws to prevent habitual drunkenness
were those passed in the reign of
Queen Elizabeth. The Lausdowne
manuscripts in the British museum
record that iu 1054 orders were set
down by the lords and others of her
majesty’s privy counsel for the refor-
mation of the great disorders commit-
ted by the excessive number of ale-
houses, which the justices were order-
ed to reduce. The publicans were com-
pelled to give the constable of the par-
ish tho name and business of every
one who frequented their houses and
were forbidden to have any games
played therein. On Sundays no per-
sons dwelling within a mile of the
public house were allowed to enter ex-
cept substantial householders travel-
ing to church, and then only for a rea-
sonable time to refresh themselves.
Curiously, the chief complaint against
publicans was the “brewing stronger
ale and beer than is wholesome for
man’s body.”—London Chronicle.
Stevenson’s Inspiration.
Stevenson used to assert that the in-
spiration for his finest work was giv-
en to him in dreams. It was the
‘brownies” or “little people” who
made his unconscious brain the ve-
hicle for their activities. He tells the
story of how he came to write “Dr
.Tekyll and Mr. Hyde." “I had lung
been trying to write a story on this
subject, to ftud a body, a vehicle for
that strong seuso of man’s double be-
ing which must at times come in and
overwhelm the mind of every thinking
creature. * * * For two days I
went about racking my brains for a
plot of nny sort, and on the second
night I dreamed the scene at the win-
dow aud a scene, afterward split in
two, in which Hyde, pursued for some
crime, took the powder and underwent
tho change in the presence of his pur-
suers. All the rest was made awake
and consciously, although I think I can
trace in it much of tho rnauner of my
‘brownies.’"
Dream Poetry.
An anthology of dream poetry would
yield some interesting results. The in
spirations of the night are generally
the follies of the morning. The late
Lord Bowen had a story of a man
who awoke one night weeping pitiful
ly at the pathos of some lines he had
heard in a dream. These were the
lines:
Walker with threo eyoa,
Walker with two;
Something to think of,
Something to do.
But immortality should be the pen-
alty of the woman who upon awaking
from her dream remembered but two
lines of the epic she had just com-
posed :
Admiral Klnkums and his seven (laugh
tera
Hung in a barque suspended o'tfr the wa-
ters.
