LOVE OF FIGHTING. h Seems to F»e In horn In the Aver* a»e Human Being. We are all fond of lighting—that Is. we all love to look at a tight, and some ! of us like to be in a tight. But we all love to see one. Then- are some superaesthetic and hyper refined humans of I both sexes who think they do not like to see a tight. Some of them actually I believe th>y are sincere. But deep down in the average man and woman ; the love of fight exists. It Is ingrained; it is congenital; it Is in the human baby. When he screams, squalls and kicks If bis will Is thwarted, he is lighting. bo with the same baoy when, grown up Into a boy. he pulls his little sister’s hair. It is partly, perhaps, the love of fighting and partly, perhaps, the love of giving pain, tor cruelty also seems to be part of the makeup of the human • animal. After little brother has tin- j ished pulling little sister's hair and she has dried her eyes she soothes her I wounded feelings by pulling off flies’ wings or legs or pinching the cat’s tail , under a rocking chair. Os the higher 1 flights of juvenile cruelty to which her ■ brother rises when he ties two cats to I getber by their tails over a clothesline, where they fight till nothing is left but i their tail tips—of these familiar facts j we will not speak. When brother goes to school and then to college, whether It be to the English “public” school or to the American j "public” school, resembling each other only in name; to the academy, to the preparatory school, to the university, ’ he speedily becomes past master in cruelty. In most of these institutions he must fight. Hazing exists in every co l - • lege In the country. Even the United . States government cannot stamp it out J at West Point and Annapolis. In both j these institutions flst tights under prize ring rules are of almost daily occurrence. They are masterful battles, and they Lave not a little to do with making stout hearted, stalwart fighters of our army and navy officers. To those who object to these battles the unanswerable reply is that the boys are ; there to learn to tight and that the way | to learn to tight is to tight.—San Fran- I cisco Argonaut. WAYSIDE WISDOM. Opportunity is the cream of time. Self conquest is the greatest of vic- ! tories. The more you say the less people remember. A mother’s tears are the same in all , languages. Good breeding is a letter of credit a9 i over the world. It is more profitable to read one man than ten books. A man cannot go where temptation cannot find him. People ruled by the mood of gloom attract to them gloomy things. A fault which bumbles a man is of more use to hint than a good action which puffs him up with pride. In the conduct of life habit counts for more than maxim because habit la ■ living maxim and becomes flesh and instinct.—Detroit News-Tribune. — —- The “Ctar" Went to Bed. A foreign nobleman who, if report ■peaks true, is somewhat henpecked invited some men a night or two ago to play cards tn his house. The meeting was a convivial one, and all went “merry as a marriage bell.” It grew late, and fears were expressed by the party that they were trespassing upon the kindness of the mistress of the house, who, by the way, was not present. “Not at all, gentlemen; not at all. Play as long as you please. I am czar here,” said the master of the mansion. “Yes, gentlemen, play as long as you please,” said a silvery voice, and all rose immediately as the baroness stood before them "But as it Is after 1 o’clock the czar is going to bed.” He went. Wanted a Sure Thlna. An English professor of mineralogy tells a good story about a certain big English commercial magnate. He say* that the great merchant in question came to him to consult about the instruction of the hopeful son and heir who was some day to run the vast business interests from which “the pater” had made bls wealth. “Hut mind you,” said he, “I don’t want him to learn about strata or dips or faults or upheavals or denudations, and I don’t want him to fill bls mind with fossils or stuff about crystals. What I want him to learn is how to find gold and silver and copper in pitying quantities, sir—in paying quantities." A BlMhop’a Rebuke. Bishop Dudley of Kentucky could sdml’.ilstcr a rebuke delicately, but on sccaslons he took care to see that the point was plain. One of the wealthiest members of his church as well as one ot the closest told him he was going ■broad. "1 have never been on the ocean,” be ■aid to the bishop, “and I would like to know something that will keep me from getting seasick.” •’You might •wallow a nickel.” responded the bishop. "You’ll never give that up.” Hl.
