SENSITIVE STATESMEN EASILY
MADE ANGRY.
Among the most sensitive of public
men in this country are Bourke Cock-
ran and General "Joe" Wheeler. Col.
Charles T. O'Fcrrall, of Virginia. re.»
cently told an anecdote at the former's
expense which caused Cockrun to quit
speaking to the Virginian.
The famous contested election case
of Noyes vs. Rockwell was before the
house. This was from the Elmira dis—
trict of New York. ll. H. Rockwell.
till- sitting member. was a particular
friend of David D. Hill. The latter
took a lively hand in the fight. he be-
ing then ill the Senate. O’Ferrall was
chairman of the House elections com-
mittee and managed the case. on the
floor. O'Fcrrall and Hill come near
having a fist fight in the corridor over
the matter just after the sub-commit—
tee made its report in favor of turn—
ing ollt Rockwell and giving the scat to
(‘oloncl Noyes. There was an almost
unanimous report in favor of Noyes. as
only two Democrats stood for Rock—
woll. These were. Judge Cobb. of Ala-
llama. who asked during the debate.
"Mr. Speaker. where um i at?" and Mr.
Gillespie. of Pennsylvania. 0n the floor
(inckran. us a Tammany man, made. a
big speech. O'Ferrull, ill replying.
ridiculed the Tammany mall's effort.
He said Cochran bod simply bellowed.
and hadn‘t advanced a single argu-
ment. ’
And then he wrnt on to tell a story
to the effect that all old negro was
caught out in a forest during the ter-
rlficc thundcr and lightning storm. Fin.
ally the negro prayer. He said: '0
Lord. please give me. more light and
less noise."
The same day O‘Fcrrall also made a
lifelong enemy of General “Joe"
Wheeler. of Alabama. by comparing
that titlgcty little luau with a mosqui-

LACK OF EDUCATION.
Many men of wonderful natural en—
dowments. says Success are dwarfed
and hampered in their life work be—
cullse of their luck of education. How
often do we see bright minds in're-
:ponslble positions. serving on boards
of dim-tors. as trustees of great busi-
ness houses or banking institutions
on who control the affairs of great
railroads and mflnllfnt'itli‘ltrs. who have
good judgment anti great natural abil-
ity. but who are so stunted and cramp—
ed in their luck of curly development
‘hat life docs not yield them one- tenth
of what he might had their intellect
and eelhetic possibilities been unfold-
ed in youth. In social life.- on public
platforms. in dcbatc. ill tllc llicllcr
fields of the world‘s work. enjoyment
and progress they are toustllntly baf-
fled embarrassed and bandit lllpttl by
the limitations of ignorance.
Again thousands of young men and
voung women are working today in in-
ferior positions because of their lack of
mental culture. (‘onsclous of dormant
powers which they cannot get control
of. many of them fret and chafc under
the restraints imposed upon them by
their own‘ignorancc. They are in the
position of the Chinese and other non-
progressive peoplcs who have great
mineral. agricultural and other natural
r(scurces. which however. do not \ield
them a hundredth part of their value.
because they do not knou'how to util-
ise them In the very midst of poten—
tial wealth and vast possibilities those
people live in poverty and degradation
but as an uneducated man or woman
who has never developed his or her
mental wealth is doomed to perpetual
ignorance and its consequenrcs.
it is a. good sign when a community
endorses husbands and wives being in
love with each other.
