LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY ORGANIZED PROTEST AS SHOWN AMONG LABOR UNIONS A GOOD LESSON FOR THE NEGRO TO ADOPT FOR THE BETTERMENT OF HIS CONDITION IN THE LABOR WORLD. THE PASSING OF EDITOR WHEELER. VOL. XVI. ORGANIZ AS SHOWN AMONG LABOR FOR THE NEGRO TO AD MENT OF HIS CONDIT WORLD. THE PASSING ORGANIZED PROTEST. There is much of a lesson to our people in the rapidly spreading protest of the people, against high prices. In the foreground is seen the colossal figure of organized labor. During the past few years so much has been written and said concerning labor unions and the immense power wielded by them that it would seem that every phase of the subject has been worn threadbare. But in the present crisis, a protest against high prices of foodstuffs, the part played by the forces of organized labor brings out new phases of an apparently old subject. The white men organize and succeed. The Negro organizes and resolves. The white man studied the mysteries of commercial supremacy, and the trust and corporations have become the powers of modern times. Through them the costs of production have been reduced to a minimum and the wages of the laborer have held close to the line of mere existence. Organized labor stands over against organized capital, and it is a protest of the masses against corporate greed. Most of these expressions are the pet phrases of champions of either side. And the Negro organizes, resolves and goes his way, since "all he wants is my chicken." He seems to have an abnormal fear of too much stiffening in the backbone. Yet where our people have organized and have maintained them for legitimate purposes, they have reaped the reward of their effort. This is notably true of the Hod Carriers' Union, the only tangible evidence of organized labor among our people. All over the land the cards of the Negro hod carrier are recognized and they work and receive wages according to the union scale. The success of the Negro hod carrier should be a lesson to other skilled laborers among us. Negro skilled laborers in every line should organize and then demand of the organized labor unions of the world recognition. The right to demand and receive union wages will never be handed to the Negro any more than any other privilege. It remains for him to show to the world that he is worthy of all the principles of his guild and then insist on receiv- ing them. In the present we learn the strength of the people, organized and conscious of their power. It is the manifest rule of democracy. ANOTHER LESSON. Then, too, comes another very important lesson to our people. The Negro laborer outside the benefits and protections of organized labor finds himself not only handicapped in the chance of obtaining remunerative employment, but he is handicapped in that he receives less for his work and must pay the same price for the necessities of life that union labor does. Union labor sets a price on its services and holding the cudgel of "the strike" over the heads of the manufacturer and producer receives it. This, very naturally, has the legitimate result of higher prices, which must be paid by the non-union consumer along with the other fellows. The Negro, except in the case of the hod carriers, receive less for their work, yet pays the same price as the union laborer for his living. It is all very well to protest against high prices, but we must first do all in our power to meet existing conditions and not remain idle "lookers on." The work of our men right here in Denver is circumscribed through organized labor. It remains for us to lift this burden. Will we try? PASSING OF WHEELER. "The evil men do live after them," says the noted English bard. The news comes that John W. Wheeler, for twenty-five years editor of the St. Louis Palladium, is dead. The passing of Wheeler marks the demise of a really big man of the race. The rise of journalism among our people has brought out many strong men. Men whose lives have been devoted to the uplift of a people during stirring times. Wheeler was a Negro colossus thrown up by the volcano of reconstruction. With him the sledge hammer was mightier than the pen, and he wrote, preached and labored in a sledge hammer fashion. He was through his paper one of the best known men of Missouri and like many another Negro editor has "gone hence" with only the stigma of what he should have done ranking in the minds of the people. The Negro editor is the least in consideration among his DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5 1910.

MEMORIAL SERVICES, NINTH CAVALRY. Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming. January 31st, 1910. The memorial services of the late Sergeant Charles Pugh, Troop K, Ninth cavalry, and Private Joseph Mallory, Troop A, Ninth Cavalry, wah held at Fort Russell on Sunday, January 30th, 1910. After appropriate songs by the choir and orchestra Chaplain Prioleau spoke feelingly, touching upon the life and character of the deceased ones. A large crowd turned out to do honor to our beloved dead. Sergeant Clinton Troop A represented the troop and Sergeant Hill Troop K, representing his troop. The following military records and kind words were read: We, the officers and men of Troop A, Ninth cavalry, extend our hearty sympathy and condolence to the bereaved widow and relatives and friends of the deceased Joseph Mallory, our beloved trooper and comrade whom death took from our ranks December 30th, 1909. Personally I know nothing of the early life and training of Private Mallory only I can say since I have known him as a soldier, his life impressed me that his parental days had been spent with love and obedience to his parents and devotion to duty. Private Mallory was a faithful soldier and appeared ever conscientious of the oath and obligation which he took upon himself when he first enlisted in the army. He entered the army March 15th, 1899, and served nine years in Troop B, Ninth cavalry, and in Troop A, Ninth cavalry, from March 19th, 1908, to December 30th, 1909. He died in the post hospital at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming, at 3:15 a.m. with heart disease, not the result of his own misconduct "in line of duty." Yes, in the prime of life death broke the silver cords, earth claimed the mortal, and the immortal, and the immortal went back to the God who giveth and taketh away—and all is well. Private Mallory well deserves the lines of the poet, Theodore O. Hare: Like the fierce northern hurricane That sweeps the great plateau, Flushed with triumph yet to gain, Comes down the serried foe, Who, in the thunder of the fray, Break o'er the field beneath, Knew well the watchword of the day Was " Victory, or death! " Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead, Dear as the blood ye gave. No impious footstep here shall tread The herbage of your grave; Nor shall your glory be forgot While fame her record keeps Or honor points her hallowed spot Where valor proudly sleeps. Sergeant Charles Pugh, late of Troop K, Ninth cavalry, was born in Johnson City, Tenn., sometime in the year 1871, and was about thirty-nine years of age at the time of his death. He enlisted in the army February 12, 1893. The following muster and pay rolls of his respective organizations shows his military record of having served as follows: Five years, Troop I, Ninth U. S. cavalry, from February 12, 1893, to February 11, 1898. Three years, Troop I, Ninth U. S. cavalry, from February 19, 1898, to February 18, 1901. Three years, Troop F, Tenth cavalry, from February 29, 1901, to February 28, 1904. Three years, Troop K, Ninth U. S. Cavalry, from April 22, 1904, to April 21, 1907. Two years, seven months and six days, a total of sixteen years, seven month and six days of honorable service for his country. He was appointed a corporal April 6, 1905, and promoted sergeant June 25, 1907. Qualified as sharpshooter in 1907, and re-qualified as marksman in 1908. Sergeant Pugh served with his troop and regiment in the Philippines during its last tour of duty in those islands from May 31, 1907, to May 15, 1909. It was while in the Philippines that he first showed symptoms of nephritis parenchymatons, which was the cause of his subsequent demise. The disease having become chronic, he was honorably discharged on surgeon's certificate of disability at Fort Logan, Colo., October 30, 1909, in line of duty. The records in the case of Sergeant Pugh show that he was of excellent character in every respect. I have known him for several years; he was beloved by his comrades. Being a man of authority in his troop, he was ever kind but firm in his dealings with his subordinates, and obedient to his superiors. While our loss of such a companion we trust was heaven's gain, still when we think of his noble spirit and his never-tiring endeavors to be loyal to his friends, and honest to those with whom he came in contact, we mourn our loss and combine our efforts in one body in paying a last tribute to his memory. WALTER HILL, Sgt. Troop K, Ninth Cavalry. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Mr. Cecil K. Lyans, a graduate of the University of Oregan, recently won a Rhodes scholarship in the competitive examination in that state. Mr. Lyans will receive a three year course in Oxford university, England, and will receive $4,500 for expense money. New York, Jan. 26.—Bishop I. B. Scott who has charge of the work of the Methodist Episcopal church in Liberia and Bishop A. Walters, of the A. M. E. Zion church sailed today for Liberia. Bishop Walters will preside over the West African conferences of his denomination. At the beginning of the campaign to build a new orphanage and old folks home in Pueblo, former Governor Alva Adams announced the gift to the institution of 20 lots in East Pueblo as a site for the new home. Andrew McClellan has also given the orphanage two lots which will be sold to provide the nucleus for a building fund. A mob of the "best citizens" of Belleville, Ill, sent word to the Sheriff that it was coming to get the Negro prisoner who had killed a street car conductor in an altercation. The Sheriff swore in sixty deputies, distributed to each fifty rounds of ammunition, placed them in the jail, telegraphed to the Governor to have troops in readiness to send, and sent word to the mob of best citizens: "I am ready and waiting." Realizing that this was not to be a bloodless victory, the "best citizens" failed to keep their word. Baltimore, Jan. 26.—Dr Ernest Lyon, who has been in this country on a furlough since October, will sail next week for Minerva, Liberia. He will be accompanied by Lieut. B. O. Davis, who has been appointed military attache at the American legation at Monravia. Minister Lyon will carry sealed instructions to be opened in mid-ocean, regarding this attitude toward the report of the recent American commission that visited Liberia. Since coming to this country Dr. Lyon has spoken in various communities regarding Liberian conditions, which his position as American minister to Liberia gave him first hand information. Richmond, Ind.,—Marie R. Tay- NO.21 lor, colored, who died last week, is said to have been more than one hundred years old. She was the mother of children who were slaves tweuty-five years before the civil war Until two years ago the Negro woman worked and made her own living, and when unable to continue her labors refused assistance from various chasitable organizations, although she received attention from people for whom she had worked many years ago. A life insurance policy for $85, on which she had paid a premium many years, was found among her effects. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 25. A recent and rather novel undertaking has been set on foot in this city by some of the leading spirits here, among them President Hope of the Atlanta Baptist College and Prof. W. E. DuBois of Atlanta University and others who attended a meeting that had for its object the launching of the movement a few nights ago. The general scheme is to keep alive an organization that shall improve the condition of the ordinary working classes of Negroes in Atlanta, especially cooks house servants and mechanics. The movement has the co-operation and approval of the Negroes and white people in the city of Atlanta. Baltimore, Jan. 26.—The Democrats are now talking about granting sufirage to white women in local elections of several cities in the state, and they are also talking about disfranchising the colored voter. The first scheme contemplates a "grandmother" clause, admitting all white women, while excluding colored women. The advocates of Negro disfranchisement are said to favor a law which will shut out all colored voters, even if it challenges the provision of the fifteenth amendment. There are some men who say they believe the fifteenth amendment was not legally adopted, and that will give them a pretext at attempting to nullify the same. They point out the fact that Maryland, along with all the seceeding states, except Tennessee, did not vote for the ratification of the amendment. A number of the hot-heads are preparing to pass a "Jim-Crow" car law for the cities of this state. The present "Jim Crow" law only applies to traffic wholly within the state on steam railroads and steamboats.

TRIED REMEDY FOR THE GRIP. PE·RU·NA FOR COUGHS AND COLDS A Nation of Bridge Builders. The United States is notably in advance of all other nations in the science and practice of bridge building. The increasing demands of commerce justified longer and longer spans, the weight of locomotives and trains doubled and trebled, the single bridge members increased to one hundred feet in length and one hundred tons weight, wonderful steam, hydraulic, pneumatic and electric machine tools were made to fashion them with, and costly special shops were built in this country and operated by thousands of men. The methods and facilities of erection have kept pace with these developments. Enormous derricks, traveling towers and steel rope tackles operated eight at a time by a single steam or electric hoisting engine, with many other costly special appliances, have been provided for assembling the great members quickly, cheaply and safely into the finished span. America stands to-day far in advance of all the world in the daring designs, high quality and economical and rapid construction of many great bridges.—F. W. Skinner in Harper's Weekly. A Model Man.

THE DENVER AND GULF RAILROAD INCORPORATED TO BUILD FROM TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA INTO COLORADO. NEW OUTLET TO SOUTH WITH CONNECTIONS WILL RUN THROUGH TRAINS FROM DENVER TO THE GULF. Denver.—This city is to have a new outlet to the Gulf of Mexico and to acquire new territory for her local jobbers and manufacturers when the plans of the Denver & Gulf Railroad Company, which incorporated Tuesday for $1,000,000, are carried to completion. Starting at a town called Texhoma, situated on the boundary line between the Texas panhandle and the state of Oklahoma, the new railroad is to run northwest into Colorado, connecting with the Union Pacific at a point near Limon. Running southwest from Texhoma it will be built into Dallas, Texas. Traffic arrangements with the Union Pacific will give it its entrance to Denver and similar arrangements with a line out of Dallas will give it its outlet on the Gulf. The new line is backed by Chicago capital and construction work is in progress over about 100 miles of the grade at the present time. Franklin A. Umsted, a Chicago man, whose address is Texhoma, Okla., at present, is president of the railroad company, according to the incorporation papers. Fort Lewis School Lands. Denver.—The Fort Lewis Indian school and the lands in the Ute reservation, in the southwestern section of Colorado, are now ready to be taken over by the state as soon as an appropriation can be passed for their support. Senator Guggenheim secured an amendment to the Indian appropriation bill turning over the property of this school to the state, but the title does not pass until the state provides for its maintenance. The last Legislature failed to make an appropriation for the school. The property consists of 6,360 acres of fine agricultural land and school buildings valued at $80,000. Under the terms of the grant the school maintained there must be open at all times to Indian pupils on the same terms as whites. This is about the only condition that is attached to the grant except that it must be formally accepted by the state and an appropriation made for its support. There was a bill passed by the last Legislature accepting the gift, but no appropriation was made and for this season the governor vetoed the bill. During his recent visit to Washington, Governor Shafroth was requested by Senator Guggenheim to include in his call for a special session of the Colorado Legislature instructions to consider the questions involved in the proposed transfer to the state of these lands and buildings. Cripple Creek Gold Output. The output from the mines of the Cripple Creek district for January has been normal, despite adverse weather conditions that made ore hauling practically impossible for days at a stretch and forced suspension on dumps and surface workings.

The exercises will be held February 15th and 16th, and James M Lynch of Indianapolis, president of the organization, will be one of the principal speakers. The Denver City park zoo has two new arrivals in two baby brown bears. The bears are very small and only weigh from 12 to 14 ounces each, while the mother weighs nearly 400 pounds. For three weeks the cubs will be unable to see. They will be helpless for three months. It is state that the Denver Reservoir and Irrigation Company will build a sugar factory on its site south of Kersey. Back of the sugar proposition is said to be the Trowbridge and Niver Bonding Company, which has placed the bonds for the factory. COLORADO NEWS COLORADO NEWS The city of Denver has over 1,200 miles of streets to maintain. Leroy Lewis, convicted at Boulder of the murder of Mike Clifford at Marshall in October, 1909, has been granted a new trial. Kansas City capitalists are planning an amusement park in Pueblo, similar to the White City in Denver and Electric Park in Kansas City. Dr. G. H. Stover and Dr. Edward Delehanty, two prominent physicians of Denver, who were recently operated upon for appendicitis, are rapidly recovering and will soon be well. The Missouri Pacific, January 31st, took over the Pueblo & State Line railroad for "$100 and other considerations." This line runs from Pueblo to the Kansas state line. Denver people are planning to establish during the coming summer an attractive summer resort to be called Larkland, on the Denver & Rio Grande, forty-three miles south of Denver. General Manager Clark assured the Montrose Chamber of Commerce that the city is to have a new passenger and freight depot, and that the Denver & Rio Grande will soon be broadgauged to Salida. The Denver Chamber of Commerce has now 708 active members and five honorary ones. Its present total assets amount to $45,595. The new building which it is preparing to erect will cost about $140,000. In a suit before the Colorado Supreme Court the Denver & Rio Grande and Colorado Midland railways will attack the constitutionality of the fencing law passed by the special session of the Legislature in 1902. Options on land have been secured in the Bijou basin, twenty miles east of Monument, and former County Commissioner Rouse, J. B. Orris and others of Colorado Springs intend to incorporate a company to bore for oil. The foundation is completed and the work of laying the steel of the new Denver Chamber of Commerce building at 1710 Champa street, has begun. The building will cost about $140,000, will be six stories in height and will probably be completed in time for occupancy by the various commercial bodies of the city July 1st. Senator Charles J. Hughes has introduced a bill for an appropriation of $5,000 for the world's congress of the deaf, to be held in Colorado Springs this summer. The bill was referred to the committee on industrial expositions and as Senator Hughes is giving his personal attention to the bill he feels that the appropriation will be granted. M. Elliott Houston, United States weather observers at Steamboat Springs, has forwarded to Moffat road headquarters in Denver a report of climatic conditions in Routt county in 1909. The record shows that 25.17 inches of moisture were precipitated during the year, and that the rainfall was very evenly distributed among the several months. There were no floods or washouts. "If I had the adoption of one law, which I thought would be better than any other law or any other two or three laws, I would save that the law which gives to the people the right to initiate and refer measures was paramount," said Governor John F. Shafloth at the annual banquet of the Christian Citizenship Union in the Auditorium hotel at Denver. "And if, when I close my term of office, there is a law on the statute books giving the people the right to pass laws regardless of the legislature, I shall regard my term as having been worth while." At the suggestion of Mrs. Catherine M. Cook, state superintendent of public instruction, the State Land Board is considering a scheme to donate from two to five acres of land for playground purposes to each public school in Colorado which is occupying public land at the present time. The plan is to donate the land to the schools on condition that each school board which accepts a gift of the sort does so with the understanding that it must supply the equipment necessary to furnish the playground in the proper manner. In order to ascertain if the cost of living has increased in Greeley in the last year materially over that of previous years, a merchant in business at Greeley for twenty-five years has gone carefully over his books, compiling the cost of groceries and dairy products in the years 1890, 1900 and 1910. The result shows that all dairy and farm products, butter, bacon, eggs, cheese, etc. have increased from ten to fifty per cent in cost since 1890, but the cost of the bulk of all other groceries, with the exception of lard, has not increased and in many cases is much less. Sugar is cheaper, coffee 10 cents a pound less, spices are much lower and all groceries far purer. Canned goods have decreased in cost over twenty-five per cent and all fresh fruits are cheaper, with the exception of apples. S. S. Pierce, a well known young automobilist of Colorado Springs, is having built what may be the first aeroplane operated in Colorado. The machine is a monoplane, with several features resembling the Antoinette and Bleriot devices. It is expected to be completed within a month. State Auditor Roady Kenehan recently received a notice from Warden Felix O'Neill of the State Reformatory for Boys, saying that Commissioner Stracey had returned $97 to the cash fund of the reformatory and that Commissioner Munn had paid back $206.40. TAFT PROGRAM IS AGREED UPON INCLUDES STATEHOOD, POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS AND PUBLIC LANDS MEASURES. PARTY LEADERS UNITE OTHER MEASURES ARE COURT OF COMMERCE AND FEDERAL INCORPORATION. Washington. — The administration program as revised by leaders of the Senate and House, and given the stamp of White House approval, comprises the following legislation: "Statehood for Arizona 'and New Mexico in the form of the Senate bill, which provides for ratification by Congress of the constitutions of the new states after approval by the President. "Postal savings banks, with safeguards against funds being transferred from sections where originally deposited to the money centers. "Giving the President authority to withdraw from public entry lands desired for conservation purposes or for classification, the withdrawals to remain in force until revoked by him or by acts of Congress. "Federal incorporation, open to the voluntary application of concerns engaged in interstate business and willing to subscribe to federal regulation. "Creating a court of commerce and amending the interstate commerce act as provided by the Townsend-Elkins bill. "Creating a legislative council for Alaska, the members to be appointed by the president." Later in the session it may be decided to make additions to the administration program by adding measures that are now deemed of secondary importance. President Taft has told his advisers that he is inclined to come out strongly for ship subsidy in some form and it is possible also he may urge the passage of the bill providing for certificates of indebtedness to the amount of $30,000,000 to provide money to carry on the reclamation work. All the Republican members of the Senate committee on finance had a meeting Wednesday in advance of the regular session. Some plain talk was indulged in by Chairman Aldrich over the situation in which the Republican party has found itself by reason of opposition to certain of the platform pledges which had been indorsed unequivocally by Mr. Taft in his campaign speeches and on trips over the country since he became President. It was stated that the President had the situation in the House well in hand and that the Republicans, regulars and "insurgents" alike, have agreed to put their shoulders to the wheel and roll the Taft policies through that body. To Investigate Primero Disaster. To Investigate Primero Disaster. Denver.-Deputies from the office of Labor Commissioner Brake left Wednesday night for Primero to inaugurate a searching official investigation as to the cause of the explosion which resulted in the death of not less than seventy-five miners. The conclusion to probe the cause of the accident follows the passage of a bill by the last Legislature which makes it necessary for the labor commissioner's office to ascertain if possible the cause of such catastrophes. Only a short time ago twenty-four men were killed in an explosion in the same shaft. Seventy-Five Dead at Primero. Primero, Colo.—Monday's explosion on the main mine of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company claimed a total of seventy-five victims, leaving a total of thirty-five widows and sixy-five fatherless children. These facts were determined late Wednesday afternoon, when the official canvass of the camp was completed and the names checked with the company's payroll. Fifty bodies have been recovered. Exploration of the workings continued all day, but not until 8 o'clock Wednesday night were efforts of relief parties successful, when the bodies of two drivers, unidentified, were found and brought out. It is planned to have the funeral at Trinidad. Paulhan Makes Long Flight. Denver.—Twelve miles in nineteen minutes, flying 375 feet above the ground, at Overland Park, in a snowstorm so heavy that his aeroplane was hard to see at a distance of half a mile—that is what Louis Paulhan, brilliant aviator, did Wednesday afternoon. And while he did it he was executing with perfect ease the dipping and swerving maneuvers for which he is celebrated no less than for his world-record of high flying. The spectators were a mere handful as compared with the throng of the previous day, but they stood in the snow and cold for three hours, cheering. Peary South Polar Expedition. Peary South Polar Expedition. Washington.—Commander Robert E. Peary, discoverer of the north pole, was made a proposition to the National Geographical Society which, if accepted, will mean that an American expedition will be on its way to discover the unconquered south pole next fall. The Peary Arctic Club, he said, would contribute the steamship "Roosevelt, which could not be duplicated for 150,000, provided the National Geographic Society would assume the re- sponsibility for the first $50,000 toward the cost of the expedition.

THE COLORADO STATESMAN SUBSCRIPTION RATES: A BIG WINTER. THE UNIVERSAL SEVERITY of the present winter has been remarkable. Usually one part of the country escapes what another part suffers, and the compliment is exchanged in succeeding seasons, but this time no part of the country, accustomed to wintry experiences seems to have been slighted by Boreas. Disturbances of the earth's atmosphere are supposed to be the causes of storms and extreme fluctuations of temperature, but what causes the disturbances of the atmosphere is among the unsolved theories of scientists. The approach of Halley's comet may furnish some explanation in the present instance, but, if so, it has a pretty cold breath for a red-hot solar visitor. THE 'POSSUM HUNT. THAT terse problem, of such universal interest and widespread disagreement, which swept so many mathematicians off their feet and gave so many ordinary students the nightmare, a few years back, "How old is Ann?" is clearly outclassed by the present dumbfounding inquiry into the causes of the high cost of living. In_spite of the many official investigations begun, and the thousands of individual dissertations contributed on the subject by statesmen, financiers, logicians and statisticians, the query remains without satisfactory solution and the many-sided argument goes doggedly on. We had something to say on the subject two weeks ago, and the position we took, putting the matter up to the trusts, has been endorsed by a great majority of the leaders of the Republican party in the nation, but the tide of the argument has not been stemmed. Some would-be demonstrators seem determined to prove that the extravagance of the people is the real cause of their suffering, and one ungallant minister of the gospel at least, has declared that the very heart and marrow of this extravagance is the desire of our women to bedeck themselves in gorgeous raiment and reign as social queens, while other women (poor things!) are charged with all wanting the best cuts of meat and the highest priced provisions, making it actually impossible to satisfactorily supply the demand at former prices. This is all foolish, and unfair argument, for the women have no chance to get back at those who make it. For them we can say that the butcher sells every particle of flesh and tissue of his stock that is eatable; and every bone, hide and hair that is convertible into other products, at prices higher than he got a few years ago; and round steaks, hamburger steaks made of gristle and whit-leather, chuck roasts, briskets and shanks are delicacies which thousands of tables can afford only at infrequent intervals! Furthermore, the extravagance of women in dress and display has not increased the cost of ginghams and calicoes, nor decreased the beauty of those who wear them. Somebody is playing 'possum in this hunt for a cause. Somebody knows just how and where and why the people are being so systematically and relentlessly squeezed for what they eat. For such a condition to exist without a discernable cause is an indictment against the reasoning powers of the American people, and the sooner the whole dissembling muddle is worked up into a plain political issue, the sooner the thief will be caught. PROFIT AND LOSS IN THE WATER QUESTION. The matter of water supply for a great municipality is really a matter of sound financiering rather than a matter of competitive political wirepulling. It goes far beyond the first stages of ordinary bargain and sale and involves a complicated mass of individual interests, values, profits and percentages, upon which the superficial figurings of partisan politicians are like schoolboy dabblings in the profound science of trigonometry. When a village decides to abandon wells and eisterns and install a water plant of common supply, each property holder figures upon his personal benefit in the way of comfort and convenience, as well as the comprehensible and apparent increase of value to be added to his particular property, and thereafter his property is worth a decided sum in advance of its former value. But when the water plant has grown to a great municipal institution which permits of no deterioration and renders property outside of its service area almost valueless as a city holding, the water question then becomes to each property holder a matter of yearly taxation and ever present personal expense, against which he cannot set up any expectation of future increase in values or other assets from which he may recover the moneys he expends, as would be the case with ordinary improvements. What he then spends for water is counted in the column of dead expense, and the least that he can pay for an adequate service, without binding himself to long projected future obligations which may benefit others more than it can benefit himself, is decidedly in his favor. Experience shows that it requires twenty to forty years to build properly and instal permanently and efficiently a great metropolitan water system, and it is but sane reasoning to declare that the owners of property at the beginning of such a work ought not to be saddled with the entire obligation for its gradual extension and completion, but that future beneficiaries should be required to bear their proper proportion of the legitimate burden of expense. If a property owner, holding a piece of city property for twenty, thirty or forty years, consents to increased levies of taxes through those years in order to establish title to a water system in the municipality, and then, from extraneous causes, the value of his property stands still or decreases, a future owner of his property will enjoy the benefits for which he paid and imagined that he would retain. A property owner should pay for only what he gets in the way of public benefits, and for such things as shall become undetachable and unshrinkable from his property values. To consent to the building of a new water system for the city of Denver or the purchase of the existing system, unless at a price far beneath its actual value, is to voluntarily consent to an individual burden which would not be known or felt if the restricted water rates under a new franchise were to be assumed by the consumers. The cry of economy does not hold good when the title to the thing purchased vests in a trustee and becomes no part of the personal assets of the actual purchasers. HEN a man who contemplates being married seriously asks how he shall "manage" his future wife, it may safely be predicted that there is trouble in store for her. People who want to manage each other ought not to marry. The husband's duty is to "love, cherish and protect," the wife's to "love, honor and obey." Because every government must have a nominal head, the husband, being physically the stronger of the two, is regarded as the responsible head of the family, but the loving obedience to his wishes which a wife owes her husband is in no way incompatible with perfect equality between man and wife. If a woman does not look up to her husband and in all things fitting defer to his judgment, it usually is the man's own fault. From the days of Eve, wives, for the most part, have proved amenable to the law laid down for the first woman: "Thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." Any woman who loves a man will do all she can to please him; it is the joy of her life to make him happy. But when the rule is selfish and unreasonable, foolishly indulgent one day and tyrannically unjust the next day, what wonder that wives rebel and fail to obey where they are unable to honor? There never yet was a woman, from palace to hovel, with whom praises and kisses were not more effective than curses and blows. The man who is tenderly considerate of the wife who loves him, who recognizes her efforts to please him, who is patient with her mistakes, may make of her pretty much what he pleases, limited only by her capacity. In justice to the men, it must be said that scarcely any of them are willfully unkind to the women whom they marry. They are thoughtless, preoccupied, ignorant of women's ways, and sometimes selfish. They do not think it worth while to bother with the trifles which make up the sum of a woman's life. When husband and wife truly love each other there can be no struggle for supremacy between the "two souls with but a single thought," whose greatest joy is found in each other. While husband and wife each have separate dufties which the other is unable to perform, their interests are identical, and together they must stand or fall. Whatever injuries the one necessarily in greater or less degree must hurt the other, and neither can wholly clear their skirts of the consequences of the acts of the other. Neither can anything befit the one and not accrue to the advantage of the other. "It is ill quarreling between the bark and the tree," says the old proverb with reference to man and wife. A. Making Mortal of "The Goddess" By LEA REYNOLDS ager should be taught she did not know it all. Now this manager seldom left her office during the luncheon hour, bringing her toothsome luncheon from a well-filled, home-cooked table, while these girls for the most part ruled over no one thing except hope, in their hearts, but sat at a restaurant table and cooked appetizing dishes in their own rooms when they had time. Bright, sparkling eyes had the first girl who was to try the scheme upon the "Goddess," as she came in one noon hour. She made chance to talk with the "Goddess" and so had her beyond her depths in the discussion of some intricate problem. This wise girl related her experience to the other girls and from that on about once a week some one of the girls would begin to talk science, politics, arts, craft, books, picture exhibits, and one thing and another as their line of knowledge lay. It was not long until every girl in that office saw the gains she had made in her own favor. Since that time the "Goddess" has grown more tolerant of those girls, many of whom are her superiors (in many ways) and now knows that office girls have some other way of spending their time than in mere chatter. They have opened up a new world to the manager and shown her that she is not the only one who knows a thing or two. We may be all right in our own line of knowledge, but the world's knowledge is of many sorts, as are its pleasures, but we, like the "Goddess," are densely ignorant of that which the other fellow knows and because he does not know our own pet hobbies, or line of work, our interests, or "butterflying," as the French call pleasuring, we must not condemn him as ignorant. Why are seven out of ten grammar and high school pupils poor writers? What is the remedy, if there is a remedy? We answer that the remedy lies with the teacher. Yet I am not censuring the teacher. She does the best she knows how. The fault lies with those in authority. Systems of penmanship have little to do with the result. What we need is not system, but method. Copy books do no particular harm, although as they are generally used they certainly do little good. Teachers will never be able to turn out good writers until the teachers themselves are first taught how to write and how to teach others to write, and this is not a difficult thing to do if it is gone about in the right way. Every teacher must know, and know that she knows, and this is the special work of the specialists. Good, plain, practical writing is easily acquired if efforts now put forth are properly systematized. Too often the writing is neglected because but little interest is shown in the subject by school authorities. W Neither Husband Nor Wife Rule By HELEN OLDFIELD In "our office"—we all call it that, from the proprietor, who spends his odd time in looking up Scotch ancestry that he can in some way annex as a family tree—there is a division manager whom we call the "goddess," who has (or had) an idea that she knows it all. This, in an office where there are some ten girls, all keenly alive to what is going on in the world outside and each having her own special hobby, is sometimes resented. One day at an office gabfest they one and all decided this same know-it-all man- Why are seven out of ten grammar and high school pupils poor writers? What is the remedy, if there is a remedy?

"CROPE THROUGH A CRACK" Uncle Eph Had at Least One idea of How His Hogs Might Have Got Away. Uncle Ephraim had two hogs, which he kept in a pen at the rear end of his little lot. They were of the "razor-back" variety, and although they were fed bountifully with kitchen waste, it seemed impossible to put any fat on their attenuated frames. One morning when he went out to feed them they were not there. They had disappeared, leaving no clew to the manner in which they had made their escape. "What's the matter, Uncle Eph?" inquired a neighbor, noticing the deep dejection with which the old was looking down into the empty pen. "My hawgs is done gone, sah," he answered. "No, sah. I don't see no signs dat anybody tuck 'em." "Did they climb out over the top?" "No, dey couldn't 'a done dat." "How do you think they got away?" "Well, sah," said Uncle Ephraim. "my 'pinion is dat dem hawgs kind o' raised deirselves up on aidge an' crope through a crack." — Youth's Companion. Jim's Cost a Dollar More. Richard Le Gallienne, the noted poet, was entertaining a group of magazine editors at luncheon in New York. To a compliment upon his fame Mr. Le Gallienne said, lightly: "But what is poetical fame in this age of prose? Only yesterday a schoolboy came and asked me for my autograph. I assented willingly. And to-day at breakfast time, the boy again presented himself. "Will you give me your autograph, sir?" he said. "But,' said I, 'I gave you my autograph yesterday.'" "I swapped that and a dollar." he answered, 'for the autograph of Jim Jeffries.' Latest Coffee Roaster.

Hints For Hostess --- For Day and Evening For Day and Evening THE FASHION OF THE EARLY 19TH CENTURY ```markdown ``` For St. Valentine. "Hearts are trumps," and Cupid reigns supreme! The very atmosphere seems full of hearts of red and pink; darts of gold and silver, true lovers' knots and other love symbols galore. A progressive party quite out of the ordinary and yet in keeping with the day is to be given next Saturday night. The invitations are out on the most beautiful Valentine creations, and the score is to be kept with cunning little red hearts, each equipped with a tiny wire by which it will be attached to the heart-shaped score card, or rather booklet. When the guests arrive they will be given these booklets with hand-painted heart covers. There are five leaflets, each containing at the top a letter in the word "heart," the first one, of course, having an "H." The scheme is first to match hearts to find partners. Then over each table there is to be suspended a heart to designate the color of the table. When four people have found hearts of one color they find the large table to match. The bell rings and all see how many words they can write down beginning with "H," barring proper names. Then when the bell rings the two having the most words progress to the next table, where they take the next letter on the page, which will be "E." At the end, when the words have all been written, as many prizes as the hostess chooses to give are awarded. This is more novel than cards for this occasion, and has been proved a success by those who have tried it. Heart festoons are attractive in the rooms, and Cupids may be put on the cakes or candies. A Valentine Wish Party It was indeed an ingenious hostess who evolved this charming affair for St. Valentine's evening. For the benefit of any entertainers this scheme is given entire. The invitations, sealed with tiny red hearts, bore this jingle: We gladly indulge you. And join in a hearty, New-fangled wish party With friends who will make you at home. For some time previous to this the wishbones of all the turkey, and chickens that had been consumed by the family and neighbors had been saved with this occasion in mind. Now they were fastened upon a heart-shaped valentine, one for each guest, a special rhyme embodying a wish being inscribed with gold ink. These rhymelets may be made to suit the individuality of each guest if the hostess takes a little extra time in the preparation. A few specimens are given: I wish you were a hammer, And I a box of tacks; For Day an DAY DRESS.—Nymph blue Korean crepe would look charming made up in this style, the skirt has a deep yoke, to which the lower part is gathered; a strip of fancy galloon covers the joining, six fine tucks are made across the shoulders, while others are made beneath the galloon which edges yoke and is taken from shoulder to wrist; the sleeve is slightly tucked under the galloon up outside of arm. Spotted net tucked in groups of four, is used for the yoke. Materials required: Ten yards Korean crepe 20 inches wide, nine You guld drive me very gently With gentle little whacks. I wish you were a gallant knight, And you my lady fair; I'd serenade you every night, Oh! what a happy pair. I wish that life But held for me Some joy that I Might share with thee. I wish for you a life of gladness, Full of joy and free from pain, Full of mirth and free from sadness, Bright as sunshine after rain. I wish I were an elephant And you a bale of hay; I'd tuck you in my rubber trunk And carry you away. If you were a fisher and I were a fish I'd swallow the hook on your line. Because I should know that this was your wish. And your wish, of course, would be mine. If possible the rhymes may be illustrated with little pen and ink or water color sketches, thus making a delightful souvenir of the party. To choose partners for supper or refreshments, suspend two bags, heart-shaped, from the ceiling by broad streamers of ribbon or tulle. They must be several feet apart; then thread baby ribbon through them, the ends hanging out of the side of either bag. The men each take the end of a string on one side the girls on the other, at a given signal the strings are pulled, the hearts are broken and partners are found at either end of a string. If it is a buffet luncheon and the men assist in the serving, they may be given aprons made from white crepe paper, having a border of flaming red hearts. The napkins may be adorned in a similar manner, if it is impossible to buy them decorated for the occasion. Since the observance of "special" days has become a general custom, merchants have recognized the fact and keep a supply of novelties in the way of dinner favors and souvenirs for each occasion as it comes. If the supply of wishbones is equal to the demand, one may be given to each lady to be pulled with her partner to see whose wish will come true. Artificial wishbones may be purchased by the dozen. MADAME MERRL Ornate Empire Belts One of the best liked features in many evening and afternoon gowns is the four-inch empire belt made of gold or silver net or cloth of gold or silver, closely studded with crystals and beads of many colors. These are worn a trifle above the waist line and are finished in front with a large cabochon. nd Evening yards galloon, and one-half yard net. Evening Dress.—This is elegantly carried out in primrose crepe merle, the overskirt is tucked at the waist and trimmed at the lower edge by two rows of fine lace, in which a thread of silver is introduced; the under-skirt is quite plain. A fold of black velvet edges the waistbelt also the sleeves, strips of the lace are taken over the shoulders, continued under the waistbelt and form a semicircle in front. A material piping arranged in a loop pattern trims the front of bodice. TIME TABLE FOR THE COOK Precise Length of Time That Should Be Accorded to Cooking of Meat and Fish.

FOR THE IDEAL DOUGHNUT Ingredients Must be Mixed in Proper Proportions and Care Taken in Cooking. One egg, half a pound of flour, one tablespoonful of sugar, quarter teaspoonful of butter, one yeast cake, two tablespoonfuls of milk, half a teaspoonful of jam for each doughnut, a little grated lemon rind and some fat for frying. Rub the butter into the flour, add lemon rind, salt and sugar. Warm the milk and pour over the yeast, adding one teaspoonful each of sugar and flour, cover and set in a warm place for ten minutes. Beat up the egg and mix it with the yeast and milk, pour this into the flour and knead like bread, until it leaves the hand quite clean. Set in warm place to rise for one hour; then roll out one-eighth of an inch thick, cut in rounds about two and a half inches in diameter, lay half a teaspoonful of jam on half of the rounds, wet the edges slightly, cover with the remaining half of the round and seal the edges thoroughly. Drop these, a few at a time, into smoking hot fat, fry two minutes or until risen about one and a half inches thick and brown, drain on white paper, and sprinkle with sugar. Sago Puddings. With Apples.—Wash thoroughly one cup of sago, put in double boiler with one quart of cold water. Cook over slow fire until clear. Have ready pared and cored whole enough apples to stand closely in bottom of pudding dish. Their size will regulate number; and fill apples where cores were cut out with white sugar. Can flavor as desired. A few whole cloves stuck in apples are nice, but lemon peel, or orange peel, cut very fine, is nice also. I use first one flavoring, then another. As soon as sago is clear pour it over the apples and bake in quick oven until the apples are done. Serve with rich cream. Without Apples.—Prepare sago as before, using a little less water. When clear, pour into pudding dish, and pour on top a custard made of three eggs and pint of rich milk. Bake slowly until custard is set. This is best served cold. Makes an excellent dessert. Currant Loaf. Two cups bread dough, one egg, half cup sugar, pinch of salt, two table-spoons preferred melted shortening, one teaspoon flavoring or spice, one cup floured currants, one rounding teaspoon baking powder. Beat the dough, egg, sugar, salt and shortening together in bread pan until you cannot see streaks of dough, with wooden spoon, then add currants and extract and sprinkle in baking powder. Do not forget that. Stir or beat well. Have two pans the same size, put the mixture in one and place it directly in the oven to bake. When commencing to brown turn the other one, hot, over it. Bake about three-quarters of an hour, so it will be a nice brown all round. Apple Slump. Pare, core and quarter sufficient apples to fill a buttered quart pudding dish two-thirds full, sprinkle with sugar, dust with half a teaspoon each of grated nutmeg and cinnamon and squeeze over the whole the juice of half a lemon. Sift together $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups of flour, $1\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoons baking powder, 1 saltspoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of sugar. Rub in 3 teaspoons of butter, molten with half cup of milk, pat out the dough, roll lightly, place it over the apples and bake for about 30 minutes. Serve with lemon sauce.

But it h statement and given it a meaning with the increasing breadth of k the blood is "bad" or impure i body which suffers through disease also clouded, the mind and judge and many an evil deed or impur directly traced to the impurity of "The Blood is The Life" Science has never gone beyond the above simple statement of scripture. But it has illuminated that statement and given it a meaning ever broadening with the increasing breadth of knowledge. When the blood is "bad" or impure it is not alone the body which suffers through disease. The brain is also clouded, the mind and judgement are effected, and many an evil deed or impure thought may be directly traced to the impurity of the blood. Foul, impure blood can be made pure by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It enriches and purifies the blood thereby curing, pimples, blotches, eructions, as eczema, tetter, or sutations of impure blood.

SCRATCHED SO SHE COULD NOT SLEEP "I write to tell you how thankful I am for the wonderful Cuticura Remedies. My little niece had eczema for five years and when her mother died I took care of the child. It was all over her face and body, also on her head. She scratched so that she could not sleep nights. I used Cuticura Soap to wash her with and then applied Cuticura Ointment. I did not use quite half the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, together with Cuticura Resolvent, when you could see a change and they cured her nicely. Now she is eleven years old and has never been bothered with eczema since. My friends think it is just great the way the baby was cured by Cuticura. I send you a picture taken when she was about 18 months old. "She was taken with the eczema when two years old. She was covered with big sores and her mother had all the best doctors and tried all kinds of salves and medicines without effect until we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. H. Kiernan, 663 Quincy St., Brooklyn, N. Y., Sept. 27, 1909." Eog-Eve's Plaintive Protest. Fog-Eye Smith of northwest Wyoming bore an appalling facade. His style of beauty was a blight. Depending upon his horrific exterior, he was in the habit of trying to awe newcomers. On one occasion, affecting some displeasure at the manner in which a pallid stranger watered his liquor, Mr. Smith announced, frowning, that unless he detected immediate amendments he would send the neophyte home in a market basket. "Which I'll sure tear you up a whole lot," said Fog-Eye. Half an hour later Mr. Smith was found groping about on the floor under the poker table, hunting for his glass eye, and muttering to himself. The stranger asked with some evidence of impatience what new line of sentiments Mr. Smith was now harboring. That injured resident, glaring malevolently from beneath the furniture, replied: "Which I sure do hate a man with no sense of humor." Rather Tall. "That," said Senator Tillman of an opponent's argument, "is an amusing exaggeration." He smiled. "In fact," he continued, "it is as bad an exaggeration as the story about Ben Johnson's height. They said of Ben, you know, the candidate for sheriff, that when he made a stump speech, instead of getting a stump ready for him to mount, they would, because he was so tall, dig a hole for him to stand in." "How old are you, little girl?" "Six." "And how is it that you are out walking without your mamma?" "Oh, mamma doesn't go out for exercise. Really, we have very little in common." HARD TO DROP But Many Drop It. A young Califf, wife talks about coffee: "It was hard to drop Mocha and Java and give Postum a trial, but my nerves were so shattered that I was a nervous wreck and of course that means all kinds of ails. "At first I thought bicycle riding caused it and I gave it up, but my condition remained unchanged. I did not want to acknowledge coffee caused the trouble for I was very fond of it. At that time a friend came to live with us, and I noticed that after he had been with us a week he would not drink his coffee any more. I asked him the reason. He replied, 'I have not had a headache since I left off drinking coffee, some months ago, till last week, when I began again, here at your table. I don't see how anyone can like coffee, anyway, after drinking Postum!' "I said nothing, but at once ordered a package of Postum. That was five months ago, and we have drank no coffee since, except on two occasions when we had company, and the result each time was that my husband could not sleep, but lay awake and tossed and talked half the night. We were convinced that coffee caused his suffering, so he returned to Postum, convinced that coffee was an enemy, instead of a friend, and he is troubled no more with insomnia. "I, myself, have gained 8 pounds in weight, and my nerves have ceased to quiver. It seems so easy now to quit coffee that caused our aches and ails and take up Postum."

TOFINISH MONUMENT FOUR STATE STONES ARE LACK IN WASHINGTON SHAFT. Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado and Washington to Complete Group in Memorial Tower at the National Capital. "Of the nearly half a hundred states in the union every one of them is represented with a stone in the Washington monument with the exception of Oklahoma, Colorado, Washington, Texas, North and South Dakota," F. L. Harvey, secretary of the Washington National Monument association, explains. "In the case of the Dakotas the stone was placed there before the division of the old territory, so I presume it will stand for both the present states. In the case of the others there is no reason why they should not have appropriate stones there as well as the other states." In speaking of the stones and tablets donated to the Monument society, Mr. Harvey stated, contributions of this character would come in time from Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines. What was principally desired at the present time was the completion of the state representation within the bounds of the Atlantic and Pacific and Mexico and Canada. The two territories within these limits, New Mexico and Arizona, he said, were represented each with a fine piece of marble. "It seems reasonable to expect in the cases of Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado and Washington," said Mr. Harvey, "that they will make an effort to be represented, without unnecessary delay, especially in view of the fact that foreign nations are represented, some of them for a number of years past. It would seem that the placing of stones by the unrepresented states should be a patriotic duty." The one essential in placing state stones in the monument is that it must come as a gift from the state itself and be paid for from the state fund. In the case of Colorado, the secretary of the society said, efforts had been made from time to time by societies and organizations to place a stone in the name of the state, but such offers had been declined. "The stone or tablet must in fact be a donation of the state," he said. "It is to carry out the idea of state sovereignty and the formation of the union." All state stones are of a uniform length and width, with a depth sufficient to place them along the interior walls of the monument without adding weight or compromising the original plans of the designing engineers. They may be of any variety of stone with bas relief carvings or plates of metal containing appropriate inscriptions. The only exception is Michigan, which is represented by a copper block of the regulation size, 4x2 feet, with the state coat of arms and the motto in a silver bas relief. TO RETIRE OLD EMPLOYE Senator Jones' Bill Would Pension Thomas Harrison Who Has Worked 62 Years. Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington has introduced a bill 'in congress to retire Thomas Harrison of the United States naval observatory with an annuity in recognition of his long and conscientious service with that institution. Mr. Harrison probably is the oldest living government employee, not only in years of service, but in actual age. He is now 82 years old, and began his service in the naval observatory in 1847, sixty-two years ago. In connection with the bill Senator Jones received a letter from Mr. Harrison in his own handwriting, which had every appearance of having been penned by an expert in handwriting of the age of twenty-five years or less. In fact, such writing would be a marvel of excellence, even for so young a man. Rear-Admiral Colby M. Chester, retired, and other influential friends of Mr. Harrison have indorsed the bill. Mr. Harrison, according to Senator Jones, is not to be pensioned as a superannuated or inefficient employee, for he is decidedly neither, but merely in recognition of his services. How Payne Was Pained. Sereno E. Payne, chairman of the house committee on ways and means, was hustling toward the White House as fast as his avoirdupois would allow. "Uncle Joe has beat you to it," remarked a man who met the house floor leader. "Good Lord! Is the speaker there?" asked Payne, and there was a pained look on his face. "That will mean that I must lose my appointment with the president, which was a very important one." Chairman Payne evidently believes that Uncle Joe is rather long winded when he gets the president's ear. Wants Secession Paper Back. Wants Secession Paper Back: Senator Foster of Louisiana has introduced a bill in the senate to return to the state of Louisiana the original order of secession passed by that state, captured by the union forces which took possession of New Orleans early in the civil war. This is the only document of its kind gathered up by the union forces during the war, and is evidence of the thoroughness with which Gen. Benjamin F. Butler and other union officers cleaned up the state while holding on to it as conquered territory. This is the only document missing from the record. WOMEN WILL CHANGE When They Go to Congress Pictures of Presidents' Wives Will Adorn White House. "All that will be changed when we are allowed to vote and have representation in congress," said a woman, who was looking through the White House, and asked about a picture of Mrs. Cleveland, and absent pictures of the wives of other presidents. A gentlemanly attendant informed her that no picture of Mrs. Cleveland hung in the White House, although more people asked for that than for any other absent picture. He told her that the government never buys pictures of the wives of presidents, and pays only for the pictures of the presidents themselves. There are in the White House pictures of a number of presidents' wives, including Martha Washington, Mrs. Van Buren, Mrs. Polk, Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Roosevelt, Harriet Lane Johnson, who was mistress of the White House in Buchanan's administration, and some others. For a long time the picture of Dolly Madison hung there, but it was removed, because congress refused to make an appropriation to pay for it. At present it is in one of the popular clubs of Washington. The woman who inquired for Mrs. Cleveland's picture thought it strange that congress would not purchase pictures of the wives of presidents, especially as many of the women are fully as famous as their husbands. The portraits of women, now in the White House, were presented by societies or individuals who have been interested in having for the women a place in the most important public building in the United States. McHARG STARTED SOMETHING Government Press Agencies May Get Jolt as a Result of His Work. Ormsby McHarg was in the federal service but a short time, but he made a reputation for himself. Perhaps if McHarg had been depending upon the position and was constantly in fear of being "called down" for what he might say or do, he would have steered a different course. As it was, with the knowledge that he was not going to stay, and would not stay, he was perhaps more bold in his utterances. At all events, he has said a lot of things to which his official character gave prominence. Just before stepping out of office he made the bold assertion that nothing is more disastrous to a young man's career than to enter the government service in the lower-clerical force. He has been criticised for this utterance, but most of the people who are familiar with conditions in Washington can approve of what he says. While McHarg has been criticising conditions, other bureaus and departments have been adopting the press agency plan and saying nice things about the government service, encouraging people to get into it, and taking occasion to boost the heads of bureaus and departments. There is an intimation that press agencies of the various bureaus of the government may receive a jolt at the present session of congress. HOW TILLMAN EXERCISES Lies on Back and Puts Toes Against Headboard of Bed 20 Times Senator Benjamin F. Tillman of South Carolina puts himself through a course of physical exercises every morning at his home in Washington to reduce an embonpoint that is beginning to attract attention in South Carolina. The senator will not admit that his friends at home believe he has abandoned "co'n pone" as a diet, but the suspicion would be well founded if they knew what the senator was doing each morning to reduce his girth. According to well-authenticated reports, the senator gets on the flat of his back in the middle of the bed and puts his toes against the headboard twenty times. For a man of his age, the senator regards this stunt as no "mollycoddle" exercise and he has suggested it to his colleagues in the senate who are bigger at the waist than elsewhere, warning them at the same time not to "knock the stuffing out of the dashboard." Senator Aldrich Will Reconsider. Senator Arthur Alderich told his friends in the senate and personal and business friends elsewhere that he would not be a candidate for re-election when his term expired. Although he has made no announcement, it is understood in Washington he will reconsider his determination to leave the senate and that the nature of Rhode Island will remain next winner, so he will entail his sixth consultive term on March 4, 1911. Many reasons are given. Snakes in Oregon. A special agent of the department of commerce and labor, who has just returned to Washington from a trip through the west, is authority for the statement that Oregon is a favorite resort for snakes. "I never saw so many snakes in my life as at a point near Klamath Falls," he said. "I could stand in one place and count twenty in plain sight. I killed sixy within a radius of 300 feet. They are a non-venomous variety and the people do not seem to care anything about them." Color more good brighter and faster colors than any other dye. One 160 package colors all fibers.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Her Idea of Discipline. One day recently, just after the opening of the Baltimore schools, the teacher of a primary class had occasion right at the start to enforce discipline. "Here, young man!" she exclaimed, indicating a pupil whose name she did not yet know, "I saw you laughing in this school!" "I was only thinking about something, ma'am," said the youngster, sheepish. "Well, don't let that happen in school again," said the teacher, sternly.—Sunday Magazine of the Cleveland Leader. How's This?
