Machen could not vote for Bryan in 18yt> because he wanted an “honest dollar.” Evidently Machen can distinguish between an “honest dollar” and a dollar acquired dishonestly. If he can’t do so now, it will be the fault of republican office-holders if he does not have the difference thoroughly impressed upon his mind in the coming year.—Columbia City Poet. TnktßK Life Too Seriously. Taking life too seriously is said to be an especially American failing. This ! may be true: but. judging from apliearances. It would seem to be worldwide. for. go where you may, you will find the proportion of serious, not to say anxious, faces ten to one as compared with the merry or happy ones. If “the outer is always the form aud , shadow of the inner" and if "the present is the fullness of the past and the | herald of the future" (and how can we doubt it?), how many sad histories can be read in the faces of those we meet every day! The pity of it is, too. that the sadness is a self woven garment, even as is the joy with which it might be replaced. Ruskin says: “Girls should be sunbeams not only to members of their own circle, but to everybody witli whom they come in contact. Every room they enter should be brighter for their presence.” Why shouldn't all of us be sunbeams, boyg as well as girls, all along the way from twenty-five years and under to eighty five years and over? Success. A Cheerful Expression. “I wish 1 could always look as cheer ful as you do." said the sweet young thing as she dropped down beside the attractive widow. “There are times when it is embarrassing. that cheerful expression of mine." said the widow. “Let me tels you. When iny husband died. 1 was journeying alone to his home, where he was to be buried. I was much annoyed at the persistency with which the man across the aisle attempted to flirt , with me. Finally he took a seat in front of me and said. I beg pardon, but I thought I’d like to talk with you awhile because you have such a cheerful expression.’ “And there I'd been weeping my eyeout for two days. So don't cultivate that cheerful look too much or you’ll find some one accusing you of looking happy at a funeral.”—New York Times. A Mediaeval Survival. It may interest some of your traders to know that the archaic method of reckoning by tallies is still in vogue in Tau. While there I saw a bundle of tally sticks (there called taillesi suspended in a baker's shop, and on inquiry I found that most of the poorer j'ountry people thus registered their purchases until they were able to pay. The tally Mick Is cut down the center, the baker and purchaser each retaining a half, and when a loaf is sold the two halves are fitted together, ami a notch is made across them, the purchaser thus keeping an exact check upon the baker’s score. l’i>on any payment being made a corresponding number of notches are shaved off.—London Athenaeum. smoMern neart. Smoking, as a rule, agrees with persons for many years, perhaps for twenty years and longer, although by degrees cigars of a finer flavor are chosen. but all at once, without any assignable cause, troubles are experienced with the heart, which rapidly increase and compel the sufferer to call in the help of a medical man. The age at which disturbances of the heart become pronounced varies very much. It is but rare that patients are under thirty years of age: they are mostly between forty and sixty years old.

WILL BE NO STRIKE] Anthracite Miners’ Action Proves Satisfactory to the Operators As a Consequence There Will Be No Further Friction in the Matter of Conciliation Board. President Mitchell Urges the Miners Not to Lose Interest in Their Union. Scranton. Pa . June 17. —There will be no strike in the anthracite region growing out of the refusal of the op •rators to recognize the credentials of District Presidents Nicholls. Fahy and Dettrey. instructed by the joint executive board of the United Mlns Workers as the miners’ represents . rives on the board of conciliation. The convention of the United Mine | Workers elected the three district presidents by districts as their repre- ! sentatlves and the operators through President George F. Baer of the Read ing company, announced that this ac tion was satisfactory. There was a burst of loud and long applause when President Mitchell an nounced that the operators through I President Baer had authorized the statement that the action of the con vention was satisfactory. The con vention elected President Mitchell a? the legal representative of the miners at the nearing before the conciliation I board. The convention was brought to a close with a speech by President Mitchell in which he urged the miners not to lose interest in their union The operators are unanimously agreed on the acceptance of the elected min ers' representatives. Mr. Connell stated in an interview that the most the operators demanded at any time was what the miners did at thia con | vention. Mr. Connell further stated that the operators' representatives on the board of conciliation would urge an immediate session of the concilia tion board that the existing disputes may be settled and peace once more be permitted to prevail. PRESIDENT IN VIRGINIA H " ■ Wind-Up of His Tour of the Continent. Charlottsville, Va.. June 17.—PresiI dent Roosevelt wound up his tour of the continent in a visit to the Univer sity of Virginia It was alumni day at the university and the occasion was made memorable by the presence of the president and many men distinguished in public life, some of them graduates of the university. The re ception accorded the president was a particularly warm one and he was greeted with ringing cheers when he arose to speak before the alumni in the public hall and the student body at the luncheon tendered him in the gymnasium, and they were renewed several times during his two speeches The president when he arrived here was escorted direct to the university grounds and in the famous rotunda building standing near the statue of Thomas Jefferson, the father of the university. .he held a reception Thence he was escorted to the public hall, where he delivered his principal address. Later at a luncheon in the gymnasium he responded to the toast. ‘The United States." At the conclusion of the luncheon the president and Mrs Roosevelt mounted horses and rode out to Monticello, the home of Jefferson where they and others were entertained and at 7 o’clock the special train left for Washington.

INTERESTING RUMOR It la Said B. F. Shively Would Still i •Like to Be Governor. Indianapolis, June 17.—From the Eighth congressional district comes the report that B. F. Shively of South Bend would like to make another race for governor at the head of the Democratic ticket, it is also said there is a strong sentiment in favor of the South Bend man for the nomination. it is easy to believe this, as Shively has been the idol of the rank and file since he ran for governor in ’96. He received the complimentary vote of his party for United States senator at the recent session of the legislature and is really one of the leaders of his party. He is frequently mentioned as a good man for seqqnd place on the national ticket. He is a fine orator and has been "regular” throughout so far as party loyalty is concerned. So it is quite natural that he should be boomed again for governor. Mayor Forkner of An .erson and Dan Simms of Lafayette are also being talked of as possible candidates for Democratic nomination. The weekly crop bulletin of Weather Man Blythe is anything but encouraging for Indiana, as he says that the outlook for wheat and corn is not good. The following are extracts from what he says: "The prospects for wheat have not changed materially: reports from a few localities are optimistic. but generally the crop is suffering more or less from rust, smut or insects and promises only a light yield. Wheat harvesting has begun in the southern counties. Corn planting and the cultivation of early planted corn were resumed and pushed vigorously. with the condition of the ground fairly good and improving. Early corn is making slow growth, much of it is weedy, and tn places it has an unhealthy 7 color. There is some little planting yet to be done. The crop generally is two to three weeks late." Timothy hay and clover, he says, will be good, while there is an improvement in oats. Late strawberries are fairly good, while there is a hopeful outlook for potatoes and melons. The war department at Washington has agreed to employ an attorney to defend Governor Durbin in his coming trial at New Orleans for damages for alleged defamation of character in the matter of the complaint of W. C. Barton. who conducted a "speak easy” in front of the camp of the 161st Indiana regiment at Jacksonville. Fla., during ‘he Spanish-American war. The governor. who was then colonel of the regiment, closed the joint. The man secured |3OO judgment for damages to the property and then filed a suit for defamation of character. The court at Jacksonville found for the governor. but the man appealed to New Orleans. He says the governor called him "a d —d whelp” and threatened to have him run through with a bayonet—all of which Is denied by Governor Durbin. The case, which has at tracted wide attention, will come up soon. The attendance at the biennial conclave of the Modern Woodmen of America is certainly a disappointment to those who were led to believe that it would be the biggest thing that ever happened in the secret society line. A lot of press agents said there would be in the neighborhood of 100.000 people. but the truth of the matter is. there are not over 10,000. However, that does not signify that it is not a good and an interesting gathering. It is really just as important to the Woodmen and to the Insurance world as if the attendance was ten times what it is. The Democrats are having a lively campaign for places on the city ticket. John W Holtzman declared today that he was sure of being nominated for mayor, it looks as if he knew what he was talking about. He has the lead now by several lengths. The other candidates are J. G. McCullough, a prominent and popular attorney. W F. Moore, a street contractor supply dealer. and Robert Madden, a prominent labor man. A Boy and a Match. Vincennes. Ind.. June 17. —Levle. the four-year-old son of Henry McGaugh ey, a farmer, will likely lose his eyesight as the result of an explosion of a can of powder. The lad found the can at his home and touched a match to it.
