P. Morgan & Co., at a salary of something like $1,000,- 000 per annum,——another instance of what fields of opportuntty lie open to all American boys. Coming as it does at this time of the year there is much food for thought in all the discussion of Mr. Cochran’s rise from a lowly boy world of finance. He is successful be- cause of his own efforts. What he has secured from the world he got on his own initiative. He worked. As there is no royal road to learn- ing so there is no path to success in any of the arts or sciences that can be found through the magic of money or soclal position, what though these two adjuncts may be sgreat stimula- tors. The world of business is made up for the most part of men who have started life at the very bottom of the ladder and who by dint of perserver- ance and application have worked up, up, up to the top. While others were sitting around bemoaning their fate, the world. They fousght it tooth and nail. The consequence is, It might be a good thing for the country if every mnran who Thas achieved success on his own individ- ual efforts,—and this is the only suc- cess that can be called such,—would write a book and set forth the meth- ods used in over-coming obstacles.

It does not realize his devotion to the service, his stern code of honor, or his high standard of intelligence.

He has only himself to blame if he does not win all the honors promised him at the recruiting station at. which he enlists. Austria’s Double-Headed Fagle. (London Chronicle) That two-headed eagle by which we now recognize Austria is one of the frauds on heraldry. It has been point- @l out by old-fashioned historians with a passlon for truth that when Francis of Austria gave up pretend- ing to be the heir of the Caesars, and laid aside his claim to the Holy man Empire and his German kin, dom, he ought to have rendered back to Caesar that which was r's. But he stuck to the two-headed eagle, instead of contending himself with the Hon of his archduchy. point of view of the Heralds' college, this conduct was as indefensible as if a private British citizen had used the arms of an English see because he claimed to be the descendant of a bishop. There was method, however, in the usurpation. For an ‘“‘emperor’ with an eagle became a more distin- guished personage than an archduke with a lion. “A Glance at the Map” (London Chronicle) We have not had so much of the phrase, “When the his tory of the war comes to e written but “A glance at the map still crops up constantly.

C., Dec. 27.—The | proclamation of the Grand Shereef of Mecca announcing the formation of the new kingdom of Arabla gives es- pecial timeliness to a communication to the National Geographic Society at its headquarters at Washington from Archibald Forder, of Jerusalem, a part of which is issued as one of | the society’s series of war geography bulletins. Mr. Forder describes Ara- bia as one of the oldest known parts | of the earth. He says: “Long before the sons of Jacob went cown into Egypt, the sons of Ishmael had settled in the land Provi- | dence had igned them. The boundaries of Arabia are outlined in the Bible as early as Genesis XXV, 18. Probably many centuries ago Pales- tine, Syria and the Sinaitic Peninsula were important parts of Arabia. Isaiah speaks of it as ‘the desert of the sea’ (XXI, 1), and when one considers it a land largely desert, al- most entirely surrounded by water, we | conclude that the anclent seer was not far wrong in his designation of the land. Arabia is between Egypt and Persia, to put it widely, and be- tween India and Europe. It has a seacoast of about 4,000 miles. “No land so little attracts the at- tention of the speculator, hunter, ad- venturer, or traveler as Arabia, and p! no country presents so large or new a fleld Many are the obstacles to be faced and overcome ere one { can see and learn for oneself what is Pbeyond the mysteries and almost wa- terless belt of uninviting ‘desert that almost “encircles this little known land, but a few have penetrated the country from different points and each has shed some light on the in- terior. he first and perhaps the most difficult obstacle with which the trav- eler had to contend prior to the out- break of the European war was the rigid persistence of the Turk, who practically controlled the entire coast- line of Arabia up to the time of the revolt of the Grand Shereef's follow- ers a few months ago, but who never held sway far inland. Travelers land- ing on the coast with the intention of proceeding to the interior were met by smiling officials who politely re- quested their ‘permit’ from Constan- tinople, and on failing to produce that were recommended to procure the same by telegraphing to their diplo- matic representative in the Turkish metropolis — a costly and usually hopeless procedure, 1 “If, however, an entrance was gained, as has been done, troubles of other kinds had to be overcome, such ag the difficulties of transportation, | the superstition of the natives and their dislike of the Christian, the last ‘'perhaps the most dangerous if'not the most formidable. ‘“‘Arabla is probably one of thé old- est of the Oriental countries and at different times has played important roles in the making of the world's history and the probability is that in the revival of the Orient it will vet figure prominently once more. ‘“The northwest part of Arabia is famous for its many-hued mountains, rooks and orags, into and out of which has been hewn many a fine tomb, temple, dwelling, and theater by the Nabathean, Roman, Greek, or Bgyptian, all of whom have left their mark behind them. “The great need of the Arabian peninsula is water, for without that all-important factor of everyday life little can be accomplished, and the ! entire absence of running water in ! any shape or form accounts largely | for the lack of any forward move- | ment or attempt at industrial or man- ufacturing achievements. “Where water is obtainable it is generally from wells of great depth, causing a large amount of labor to get it to the surface. Some of these wells are evidently ancient, as indi- cated by the stones of many courses near the mouth and the deep grooves worn by the ropes of the drawers dur- ing many centuries. Some of these grooves are as much as nine inches deep in stones as hard as marble.” Found They Could Save. (Duluth Herald) The hero of our tale does not, un- happily, present an unusual case. In- deed, it is not so certain that he isn’t typical of a large class—up to the moment of his awakening. The rest of his class mostly haven't awakened yet. Merely to give him a name, call him Jones. He was the son of a man once prominent. He was assistant credit man in a large business hous on a salary of a hundred and fifty dol- Tar 1onth. He 1 a wife and no children. They were free spenders— up to the limit of their income and beyond. That vond” is where the story comes in. Little by little Jones had fallen until he was anywhere from six months to a year behind his income. Insidiously his expenditures had in- creased—largely because of the cost of high living, though he often talked bitterly of the high cost of living. They had always lived up to his in- come, and the prevalent credit sys- tem made it easy to go beyond. Month by month he fell behind. Finally he owed everybody he could owe. Ulti- mately he got so he pald nothing that he didn’t have to pay. Creditors finally began to press. Pa- tience in that case soon ceases to be a virtue, and long before the crisis in the case of Jones his creditors had lost patience. one evening, talking it over, s and his wife decided it would a good idea to borrow some money to appease the more importunate creditc That seemed a likely way out of the difficulty, and that was as far as their thought went. So next d Jones went to the manager of a loan bank that deals humanely with small borrowers, and asked for a loan. His application was received, an investigation made, and the loan was rejected by the finance committee of the loan bank. When Jones came in to get his money and met this news, he was in- dignant. He hadn’t thought of such an outcome of his plan. ““This is a business institution,” said the manager. Ve are here to lend but not to give it You have gotten into a bad way. You owe everybody, and you are slow pay. Your credit is bad—too bad for us to take a risk on it unless vou will make a square turn, turn over a new leaf, live within your in- come and pay your debts promptly.” Jones was still more indignant, and resented and denied the truth of this picture. “You owe so much to Furniture company, and. you haven't in three months; you owe s0 much to the Soandso Gro- cory company, and you have only pald ten dollars in four months; you owe here and you owe there, and you are inereasing yvour debts wherever vou nd getting out of paving them as long as you can. That crushed. Jones, for it was the truth. Humbly he asked the man- ager’s advice. The manager told him that he and his wife were spending too much on dress; that they were spending too much on idle pleasures; that they were, in short, living be- back - away. the Black vond their means in every dh‘ect‘lon,. “cut it short,” said the manager. “Shape your expenses to your income. tor paying your debts, and pay them as fast as vou can.

Next day indorser, with a report that he and his wife had talked it over and de- termined to do better, and with their ones came back, with his Joint pledge to that effect. his money. Moreover, he made good-—or he and his wife made good. - They lived on their income and they paid off their debts. Not very long after that they had not only cleared themselves of debt, but they had saved close to two thousand dollars toward a home. They are rated ‘“good pay” by the credit agencies. And they are having just as good a time, and a far more sat- isfying good time, in their new way of living. I8 Thevitnought Fihe il Joncses [ that they could not save. When they had to they found they could. Maybe there { are others who cculd learn some- thing—if they would—from the ex- periences of the Joneses. He got Wards of the State. (New Bedford Standard) About 700 men and women depend- ent upon public ald have been trans- ferred from the cities and towns to the state under the operation of the new settlement law. Formerly wards of the communities in which they had a legal settlement, although they had not lived in those communities for years, they now become wards of the commonwealth, which must as- sume the burden of their mainten- ance. To quote from a statement of the situation created by the new law: Many a shiftless boy has roamed | the state for years, stopping nowhere as a self-supporting individual for five successlve years, which would have entitled him to a settlement, and the town where his parents or grandpar- ents lived last for five years and paid | three poll taxes has been responsible for his support ever since. There are instances where such men h for fifteen or twenty vears v town that has been supporting them, | but it has never been known before that there were as many as 700 of { that type supported outside of the | state institutions. To that extent the cities and towns are relieved by the new settlement law and according to Frank W. Goodhue who, as superintendent of the state adult poor ,assumes the cost of tak- ing care of them, the towns appear to be helped more than the cities by this relief. To care for these 700 additianal de- pendents the state board of charity, which is now dispensing of $700,000 a vear through its adult poor depart- ment, will need more money next year. Tt will also need more for moth- ers’ pensions. There are 8,000 moth- ers on the pension list and the aid given varies from $1 to $15 a week. It is believed, however, that the limit of this class has about been reached, and that additions to the list each vear will be offset by the cases in which ald will be discontinued be- cause the children have grown up and are able to support their mothers.

An Ancient Example of a Modern Pol (Newark News) Only a few years ago, comparative- the great King Sargon was held to be a Biblical myth, a monart who never ruled Assyria, but excavations in that ancient land confounded the alleged historical ex- perts. And now comes along no less an authority than John Dyneley Prince, former statesman of New Jer- sey, master of some 20 ancient and modern tongues, and head of a de- partment in Columbia university, call- ing attention to the fact that Sargon first set the style of deporting a whole by the kaiser in Belgium. It was some 2,600 years ago, Sargon carried the Ten tribes of Israel out of the promised land and filled up their country with Arabs and tribes from northern Asia Minor, and he did such a good job that the Jews never came back. History, how- ever, does not always repeat itself, as witness the return from captivity of the Jews rcicased from Babylonia through Cyrus the Persian. Dr. Pr refers to the emperor of Germany a a-modern Sargon, but may be that developments in Belgium will prove that the deportation is only for a sea- son and that the Kkaiser will be pre- that it vented from going to the Assyrian's limit.
