A romance of Iterature was unfold: ed recently Jn the auction room. When Benjamin Franklin went to London in 1724 he found work as a compositor in @ printing office. While setting up Wollaston’s “Religion of Nature,” he felt a revolt against some of the argu: ments, and thereupon wrote his own “Dissertation on Liberty and Necessity, Pleasuro and Pain,” He was then nine: tecn years of age. In after years Franklin regretted his precocious ef. forts and suppressed or destroyed most of the 100 coples of the tract. He did this so thoroughly that only two copies are known, und one of these came up In the Huth sale at Sothe- by's. Henry Stevens, the well-known bookseller, bought ‘this copy for 60 cents about 1850. He offered it to the British museum for five dollars. ‘The offer was refused. Throwing {t into auction at Puttick’s he was rewarded with a bid of $96 by Mr. Hotten, who acquired the tract. In the Hotten sale, 1872, the British museum lost It again fat $99, and {t eventually Joined the Huth library. At the recent sale at Sotheby's tho son of Henry Stevens ald $5,040 for the pamphlet. ‘Asai hating Siken Giveca.. in Morris Berbeck’s “Journey in America” is the following accoint of a breakfast in Falrfleld county, Ohto, on June 16, 1817: “A gentleman, myself fand three children sat down this morn- {ng to a repast consisting of the fol lowing articles: Coffee, rolls, biscult, dry toast, wailles (a soft hot cake of German extraction covored with but- ter), plckerel salted (a fish from Lake Huron), veal cutlets, brolled ham, gooseberry ple, stewed currants, prt served cranberries, butter and cheese —tor all this, for myself and threo children, and four gallons of oats and hay for four horses, we were charged 6 shillings and 9 pence (or about $1.65)."

Pay Well for Honor of Office Holding —Inalgnficant Emoluments of Preah dent and Other Officials Hardly ‘Cover Expenses—Only for Rich. CORE ERP er ar How would you like to spend more money than your salary fust to hold your job? President Wilson has polnt- ed out lately that tho great cost of /nome of our diplomatle posts closes them to all but the rich. You would bo diving down into your private treas ure chest quite often if you happened to be holding any ono of numerous igh positions under our government. From the president down to some of four consuls at the more important posts tho expenso Involved in maln= Aalping the position always equals and frequently aurpaases the - emolument aceruing, the New York Evening sun states Conspleuous among unprofitable po sitions of honor and trust are the chlet Ambarsadorahips. ‘Tho. post at St. James fe a particular luxury. The sal- ary Is only $17,600. ‘This might séem ‘ample for an ambussadorahip's needs, at first thought. Dut consider the ob- gations under which our foretgn rep- resentatives are put. ‘They must en- tertain on a large scale in harmony with the ways of royalty. Certatn It is that when the late Whitelaw Reid hela the post in London the annual stipend was not big enough to be taken Into consideration, Only the fact that tho late ambassador had a private fortune enabled.him to do the honors of the position as ho ald. ‘Tho expense Is yontioned, an the reason that deterred Willlam P. MeCombs trom accepting the offer of the corresponding Paris post. It would have meant'a big financial ssc- rice. According to Henry White, for | many years first secretary of legation and of embassy at London, a salary ot 440,000 to $50,000 ln necessary to. do Justice to the diplomatle posts at Lon- don, Paris, Berlin and St. Petersburg. ‘The result of this condition of affairs has been that only rich men can be considered for the honors. But it I not #o generally known that some of the consuls at large cities are in a similar predicament with regard to finances. Seventy-five thousand dollars a year seems a salary suMiclently largg to cover any man’s expenses and enable him to put by a molety for future ref- erence, and yet no president has ever Jefe the office substantially richer than when he entered It, It Ia sald that President Taft lett the White House with an income of $8,000 a year, but {t must be remembered that he held public offices consecutively for neatly All bis previous life. His income trom Property seems very small, nothing compared to what he could have pos. sessed had he been earning the same salary in. an humbler capaclty—say, asa lawyer. Tho chlet executive's mode of living in accordance with the lgalty of his offco and his position fas leader of the cosmopolitan soclety fof the capital put any great saving out ot the question, An even break ts About all president can expect. ‘The vice-president bas not the obit gatlons of the president, but then he ust be hard put to it to manage on $12,000 a year. Although most of our Veerpresidents came to the position from other public offices and had but ttle time to accumulate personal for- tunes, there is no rocord of any of thom having left with much miore than ‘they had when they came. ‘The late James 8, Sherman and ‘Theodore Roosevelt came into offee independently rich, but the present in cumbent will have to go. slowly ‘to make ends meet on bls annual #12, 000. ‘A great deal of expense ts attached to the cabinet positions, that of secre: tary of stato in particular, owing to that offcer's close contact with for elgn diplomats. Of lato the men’ who have held this pivotal cabinet’ oMee— Root, Knox and Bryan—have been financlally independent of the emolu- ments of the offes. Root and Knor, {n giving up thelr great incomes from the practice of law, made proportion- | ately great sacrifices tn accepting the | $12,000 a year Job. |" Although Supreme court justices set $14,500 a year, none of them ever Sceumulates any money. Justice Har- lan died practically penniless atter long years of service. Nor Is the $13, 500-8 year which an admiral recelyes ‘or the $8,000 of the first nine rear ad: mirals large enough to permit of. any faving when ft Is considered that en: tertalning In foreign ports is fust as Pesenegey Mapaerien tg Misapplied Benevolence, ‘A benevolent old gentleman one day saw @ rural looking man sitting on a stone wall swinging his legs and gar ing earnestly at the telegraph wires.

Booker. ‘We do not know how many babies dig. in the first year of their exiatence tere in America, on account of there being no uniform and connceted col- lection of such statistics. In some ‘communities the death rate is as high ‘as 40 per cent—four babies out of ten. ‘Under average conditions one baby in every six or ten brings anguish to ite parents hy dying in the first year. Tgnorance and poverty, ignorance mostly is the cause. This rate is ap- palling and now throughout the coun- ury they are having baby shows, get- ting information to mothers about children and arousing interest in this matter of child culture. Baby shows are not for the purpose of seeing the prettiest, nor the fattest ‘thaby, but to determine its general condition. It is better to know the points of a healthy, normal child, and to learn how to correct any deformi- ties or tendencies than to get a prize for a baby because it is cute. For example a six months’ old child ought to sit alone, a year old baby ought to stand alone. If it breaths through its mouth continual- ly there are adenoids present. The way the baby sits or stands may de- termine some special deformity or tendency. To correct these failings is to relieve the child of a handicap. It should be the desire of every parent to have medical school inspec- tion, so that points of deficiency may be recognized eurly and attended to. Parents alone, no one else, have the right, nor will assure, to select who the physician will be to attend a child if it needs attention. ‘The wise parent will attend to hav- ing tonsils and adenoids removed if they are troublesome; will see to back troubles and éye strains, so that the boy and girl may not spend en- ergy overcoming physical defects. Tonsils, if removed, will not affect the voice in singing. If you must buy milk for your baby see that it comes from a good dairy, in sealed bottles and has no dirt in the bottom of the bottle. There is no virtue in “one cow’s milk.” Twenty-five Cents Is the Price of Peace.
