MOB RULE. It is a remarkable fact that in

common man? When labor riot rims unchecked then are our cities, like Chicago, M uncle, and other mob infested towns, more dangerous than barbarous Africa. The “innocent spectator,’’ the citizen on his way to or from business, is struck down, perhaps killed by a mob, and no one is punished. Women and children are injured and insulted, the dead desecrated, and no answers. It is a question worthy of being asked as to whether this means civilization, and freedom? Have machine |>olitics so weakened American governI mont that it can no longer do its ' d u ty ?

CONTROL OF CORPORATIONS. As the campaign for nominations goes on and the attacks upon all systems o f government and s tate control of corporations becomes more fierce, and sort sighted capitalists sow the wind, it is interesting to note from some more sane a practical view of the situation. B. V. Yoakum, an owner of large railroad

this republic of ours the people are slow t o avail themselves of their rights, and quick to transgress law. both statutory and moral. They will not go to the polls and vote in primaries for the man whom they ■believe will right their wrongs. They will sell their votes on election day to the highest bidder regardless of his standing or his principles. And they will organize themselves into mobs to hang men to telegraph poles, to de. troy property, and to drive men out of employment. The latest Illustration of this is in Muncle where a street car strike has been followed by rioting and blood shed, and the serious injury of some score of persons. There is something radically wrong in our government, municipal and state, when such things can be. The city seems powerless, evidently owing to a public opinion that sides with the mob and its violence. The state waits till some half dozen have been killed before it takes a hand and sends militia to the scene. What right has organized labor to kill and maim to adjust its grievances How long is this lawlessness to go unpunished? When will the state guard its citizens and make our cities safe for business and the

and corporation interests, and a far sighted 'business man, declares. In substance, that the future of American business depends upon placing it at once on a sane basis. That means that it must be brought down to actual values and that mad financering, stock watering, irresponsible banking, 'rotten’ Insurance methods must go. This is wise talking. It. is short sightedness indeed, to demand the old methods, base and dangerous as all now know them. The public, long suffering as it is, will some time awake, and then some wild socialistic move will be the result, sweeping away the corporationist. Only business Insanity can be behind the present agitation for lax control of such businesses as are now dangerous to the public financial wellfare. NOTICE TO CANDIDATES.

Spalled Their Waltzing. In her mem oils Mine, de Bolgne j gives some interesting glimpses of I English social life. For instance, she writes: •’In 181(1 no young English lady veu | tured to waltz. The Duke of Devonshire returned from u tour in Germany and observed one evening at a large i bull that a woman was never seen to better advantage than when waltzing. 1 1 do not know whether lie was anx- I lous to play a trick, but lie repeated | this assertion several time-. It was passed from mouth to mouth, and at | the next ball all the young ladies were j waltzing. The duke admired lliem J greatly, said that it was delightful and gave proper animation to a ball. He then milled carelessly that he, at any 1 rate, had decided never to marry a lady who waltzed. It was to the j Duchess of Richmond and at Carlton j House that he saw fit to make this i revelation. The poor duchess, the most j clumsy of matchmaking mammas,near- , ly fell oil her chair with horror. She j repeated the statement to her neigh- j bora, who passed it on, and constema- | tlou spread from seat to seat. The i young ladies continued to waltz with j clear consciences. The old ladies were j furious, but the unfortunate dance was concluded. Before the cud of the evening the good Duchess of Richmond was able to announce that her daughters felt an objection to waltzing which no persuasion of hem could evor^ overcome. Some few girls of more independence continued to waltz, but the majority gave It up.”

After the Honeymoon. “Pa,” inquired a small boy on the Oakland boat, “what’s a simoon?” "Hull!” grunted the man without looking from his paper. “Simoon's sand storm on the dessert, dreaded by travelers.” “And, pa. what's a honeymoon?” “Honeymoon's rice storm on a train, enjoyeil by travelers.” “Then a honeymoon's something like a simoon, ain’t It, pa?” “(juess so. Keep quiet. Don’t ask so many fool questions. Ixiok at the sea gulls.” “But ain’t they a good deal alike, pa —simoons and honeymoons?” “Ugh, huh, both full of hot air! Most honeymoons become simoons in a few years. When the honey's gone the sigh's left.” “Pa, were you ever on a honeymoon ?” “Percy, if you don’t stop pestering me with questions I'll never bring you over to the city again.” “Well, mn said she had a honeymoon, and it was like a dream, and all the rest of it’s been a nightmare.”—San Francisco Chronicle. Life Saving and Law. The Roumanians are as curious lu some tilings ns the Chinese. A gir! who fell into the river and was swept down by the current finally seized a bush on the bank and drew herself to shore. The owner of the land on which the bush grew immediately claimed n reward of 4 shillings because his bush was there and had saved her. Her father refused to pay, and there was a lawsuit. What the law has to decide is whether drowning people can make use of hushes on the bank without paying for the same or w bother <he assistance of the said bush Is worth a certain sum of money. In China if a person fails into the water no one must help him out, but at the same time a spectator can be Imprisoned for not advising (be victim to stay on dry land.

The Navel Orange. For a product of nature a California navel orange as it graces the breakfast table or tbe push curt is about the most artificial tiling in the world. It is also a very striking illustration of the fact that while beauty may be ouly skin deep it counts for a whole lot. To begin with, the navel orange of California is an exotic, reaching its present habitat after devious wandering. And, l*> it ever so sweet tasting, if its skin has had its beauty marred it scarcely ever gets farther than the orchard where It grew. Not only that, but even the most comely ones before they are boxed and shipped arc brushed by machinery and polished anil otherwise fussed with to give them a beauty which mere nature never would have provided.—William it. Stewart in Technical World.

Ignorance Not Bliss. “There is a certain gunwing uncertainty about calling on people who speak a different language from their servants.” remarked the woman who does. “You can never tell whether they are saying, ‘Make another cup of tea, Katie; I have company,’ or 'She always drops In about tea time, confound her! Pour some more hot water In the pot.’ ”—New York Press.

Saw For Himself. A man carrying a looking glass said to a newsboy,, “Come bore and look into tills glass and you will see a donkey.” “How did you find that out?” retorted the boy.—London Express.

Opposites Often Wed. “Miss, you are a hoiden. Nobody will ever care to marry a boisterous girl.” “Don’t worry, mother,..I'll fiiul some nice, girlsterous boy.”- Kansas City Journal.

Externally. The Doctor You understand, don't you, that this is only to bo used externally? The 1’allcnt's Wile Sure, sir, I alius makes him get out o’ bed to drink It!—London Scraps. It is better to hope and to work than to grumble and quarrel and shirk. - Baltimore American.

I Miss Penelope, j By TROY ALLISON. I * Copyrighted, 1907, by E. C. Purcells. •* ft* •!* ❖ 4- -J- +4*4* -P4-4-4- 4- 4*4-+4- 4- 4-4* 4-4- v She greeted her llrst and ouly hoarder with a shy dignity. “I think you will find it quiet enough lieie, Mr. Holmes. You said in your letter that you wanted to get away from home and the children while you fluished your book.” John Holmes put his suit case down on the veranda and took the huge rocker offered by Miss Penelope's colored servant. Aunt Dllsey. “It looks nice and quiet,” he said, taking in the gorgeous coloring of the trees and the old fashioned flower garden, now gay with dahlias and geraniums. “I think I will be able to work after n day or so of rest and wandering through the woods. When I got your mother’s answer to my advertisement I Instinctively knew that it was the right one to accept.” Miss Penelope blushed faintly. “Not my mother’s—I am your—hostess, I keep house for my father.” She never In the world would have thought of herself as his landlady. “Aunt Dilsey will render you any necessary service. Take Mr. Holmes’ suitcase, Aunt Dilsey, and show him his room. Supper will be ready In half an hour.” He went upstairs to the front bedroom, rather pleased that he would have for company at supper a pleasing woman of perhaps thirty instead of the middle aged farmer’s wife whom his Imagination had pictured. Miss Penelope, giving n final touch to her supper table, with its centerpiece of brilliant fall blossoms, talked to her blind father. “If It's quiet lie wants, he certainly ought to be satisiied. But he is a much younger man than I expected. I have read his last book, and it doesn't seem that such a Jolly looking man could have written books so serious. “He said there were five children at his house and. that their mother believed that a constant exercise of lungs and muscles was good for their development. We'll feel really important, daddy, having a real book written In our bouse or on our veranda or in our back yard, wherever genius happens to inspire him.” And she ran on merrily, giving the little details which for the ten years of his blindness had been tlie pleasure of her father’s life. The novel progressed Huely in the next few weeks, and the boarder dl-

“I KEPT THK BOSE YOU OAVB ME.” vided his days into mornings for work, afternoons for fishing and rumbling through tlie woods and gay little chats with Miss Penelope and her father after supper. Miss Penelope forgot the shyness for which she was noted and talked of the things she had read and dreamed about for years as if she had actually lived them. Returning from school ten years before, she had not found the average youth of the community congenial. Her natural timidity and reticence had been mistaken for hauteur, and not one of the country swains had possessed the courage to ask her to go for the customary drives or to the yearly lee cream festival. 81ie hud tended her flower garden, directed the management of her father’s farm and for amusement had lived in a world of books and magazines. The only love of her life was a worship of Rudolph Rassendyll after reading “Tlie Prisoner of Zcnda.” She unconsciously adapted her style of dress to the lines that she thought would have suited the slenderness of Queen Flavia and never realized that she was dreaming her life away. ’To Holmes she talkinl freely—of her fancies, of his work, of anything that the moment prompted, and lie had uncom ciously added a touch of her to the quaint heroine of ids book. “Let me read you tlie last three chapters,” he said one evening when the rain had driven them indoors from the flower garden and the hammock under the trees. “It always sounds conceited for a writer to want to read his own works, but 1 believe I Lave given the exact tomb to tills, and I want to see how it strikes you.” He broii'.lit the manuscript, and Miss Penelope lit the old fashioned lamp. As he read her eyes dilated and she listened eagerly. She saw her own dahlia garden flaunting in tlie autumn sun, the woodland path that led from

the back of the garden to the creek and was it Mr. Holmes or her own Rudolph Rassendyll trausplated to quiet and homelike atmosphere that was given a red rose in the garden by the strangely familiar woman In the book ? “You have made her like me,” she gasped Incredulously, “and idealized me, and where she tells him about her life, lived iu the characters from hooks she had read, it's exactly what I said to you the afternoon we went riding on the creek.” “I couldn’t help It,” he confessed. “It fitted the Esther lu my story so perfectly that I was simply obliged to let her borrow the whole conversation. You don’t mind, do you?” “I never was more flattered In my life,” she said Impulsively. “I never Imagined there was one trait or thought of mine of enough Importance to he written about, but you have made me seem all that I always wanted to be.” “Are you?” He laid the manuscript on the table. “I kept the rose you gave me that day in the garden,” he said abruptly. She sat still and white, the situation being one that she had never met with or dreamed of meeting. “To me you are Esther. I could love you the same way,” he said quietly. Miss Penelope rose, frightened and childlike, n quiver of pain trembling on her lips. “Mr. Holmes, I have admired you. I have tried to entertain you as best I could to keep you from finding the dullness of our life tedious. Perhaps 1 am to blame,” she said dazedly. “I found you so sympathetic and congenial that I talked to you more than I ever talked to any one iu my life, but I never thought that you would misunderstand me—would offer me this Insult. You, a married mau,” she gasped. “A—a—what?” he asked blankly. “A married man,” she said brokenly, two tears trickling down her cheeks. Holmes, a finished product of civilization, let his mouth drop open lu astonishment. “I’ve never been married In my life,” he said in amazement. “But those five children that you wanted to get away from?” she said faintly. Holmes struggled with his merriment and was finally aide to answer: “Those five kids belong to my sister,” he chuckled. “1 live with her and her husband In any part of the house that is not pre-empted by those urchins. I never dreamed that you thought I was married nil this time.” Miss Penelope still stood, nervous and dazed before him. He took her hand and, stooping, pressed his lips to it. “I kept the rose,” he said insinuatingly. She looked down upon his blond head, and her own beloved Queen Flavia and Rudolph Rassendyll became from that moment mere creatures of fiction. She had found her own romance. “I’m so—glad—you kept it,” she said timidly.

A Spelling Reform. Oue of the witnesses in a lawsuit, who had just been sworn, was asked to give his name. He replied that It was Hinckley. Then the attorney for the prosecution requested him to give his name lu full. “Jeffrey Allas Hinckley.” “I am not asking you for your alias,” said the lawyer impatiently. “What Is your real name?” “Jeffrey Alias Hinckley.” “No trilling In this court, sir!” sternly spoke the judge. “Which is your right name—Jeffrey or Hinckley?” “Both of ’em, your honor.” “Both of them? Which Is your surname?” “Hinckley." “And Jeffrey is your given name?” “Yes, your honor.” “Then what business have you with an alias?” "I wish I knew, your honor,” said the witness ruefully. “It isn’t my fault.” "What do you mean, sir?” demanded the judge, who was fast losing his temper. “I mean, your honor, that Alias Is my middle name, for some reason which niy parents never explained to me. I suppose they saw it lu print somewhere and rather liked the looks of it. I’d get rid of it if I could do so without tlie newspapers finding it out and joshing me about it.” “The court suggests ttmt hereafter the witness begin his middle name with an E Instead of nn A. Counsel will proceed with the examination,” said tlie judge, coughing behlud his handkerchief.—Youth’s Compauiou.

His Qualifications. I am reminded, says a writer, of the little boy who applied for a job at a squire’s house, where he could earn 5 shillings n week by makiug himself generally useful. Squire—Can you clean silver? Boy—Yes, sir. “Can you cook and light fires and sing and dust old china and make beds?” “Oh, yes, sir.” “Can you clean bicycles .and repair punctured tires and tune pianos?” “Certainly, sir.” “Can you mend electric hells and do plumbing and gas fitting, tench modern and ancient languages, geography and the use of tlie globes?” “I can, and also do anything else that is required.” “Then I think you will do." Boy—Thank you, sir. By (lie way, Is your house built on a ciny soil? Squire—Well, It happens that it is. But What lias that to do with it? “Weil, I thought you would like me to fill up my spare time by makiug bricks,” He was not engaged for his insolence.—Loudon Answers.
