A stitch in time may save many a pair of overalls. The farmer was the original discoverer of the stock dividend. One kind of pardon that will not bloom this year U the beer garden. Nowadays It's a dullard husband who does not praise his wife In calicoes. Itye is $2 In spite of the fact that you can do nothing with It but make bread. Do they mean a 'scarcity of lumber for building houses or for oulja boards? It will be funny to see the girls wearing r,,"o. They wouldn't need much, ar This fishes Mill er run of shad has made nt, but the loaves are Abo .i ae only thing for an Intelligent person to do about the weather Is to quit worrying. Sweden has devised faucets that will not leak. Hut the plumber Is by no means discouraged. A cynic suggests significance In the overalls boom starting In the south, where cotton reigns. Some of those days the women will be asking why there Is no training school for men voters. I5y the time they get those 7 and 8cent coins minted there will be nothing left that costs that little. Under the present peace conditions, war gardens will be once more In order: in fact. Imperatively so. The prices of hair cuts and shaves are going up and there are other signs that we are a growing nation. Women are now liable to Jury service. Hitherto the Judge has always expected to have the last word. However they may be regarded otherwise, nothing Is more chic for a home garden costume than overalls. Tin coal shortage does not affect the political situation, as the politician Iinve an unlimited supnly of natural gns. If society men o os.?d to promote economy Insist on wearing overnils the less prosperous citizens may hav to be content to appear In castoff evening clothes. The titled fortune hunters, with their values going down by the crash In the European matrimonial title market, must feel bitterly to read of a hog in Iowa that sold for $40.000. The overall wearing Idea Is spreading. If It brings along the suggestion of work In Its wearers to break strikes, It will be one of the best that ever struck the mind of the countrv. It Is reported that 150 prisoners escaped from a Chinese Jail, and they all look so much alike, too, that It will be very difficult to pick them out of the crowds once they are back in the cities. Form-fitting coats for men are going out. The experience of having them was ulseomQIng but salutary. They proved to proud man that the less he reveals his form the legs he offends the landscape. America Is short from 4,000,000 to fi.00O.000 unskilled workers, one publicist says. Yet observation of some of the "skilled ones' would hardly show It. Pomeranla Is coming Into the limelight with a bitter class struggle. Perhaps it is tired of being known only as the place where the little dogs come from. Prince Joachim has been fined 300 nuirks for his part In the attack of French officers, which, in regular money, wouldn't pay for the paper In the affidavit. When all the nations begin to depart undesirable aliens the world may resemble the community which supported Itself by tho residents doing ei'Mi other's washing. All the census figures thus far published show an amazing Increase In urban populations, Indicating u corresponding decrease In rural populations. This throws some light oa the darkly ominous ten-cent cgc.

KÄTIÖBÄL CAPITAL

Congress Passes a WASHINGTON. Congress has passed a bill (II. It. POM) which appears to have raised a commotion all along the line from the hard-boiled post office Inspector who sized up the property to the vice president in the senate who said, "passed with thanks." You see, the bill was to give something to the government, instead of to get something o;it of the treasury. So, naturally, everyone in both houses was suspicious of It until it was read substantially as follows: lie It enacted, etc.. That the Secretary of the Treasury be, and he Is hereby, authorized and directed to accept on behalf of the United States the donation by Sedgwick Post. No. 10, Grand Army of the Republic, of Its memorial hall property In lledford. Taylor County, Iowa, for Federal building purposes.

U. S. Army Field Kitchens That Paid Duty

EXCKKPTS from the house debate on the bill (II. It. 0171) on the unanimous consent calendar of the holism to authorize the refund of duties collected on Held kitchens imported during during the year liUO: . Mr. Britten: The kitchens cost some $'J.HH) apiece. They were furnished to the National Guard and taken to thi Mexican border at. a time when the war department had not sufficient equipment to take care of the troops. A duty was charged when u rolling kitchen was brought over the line from Canada. This bill seeks to refund the duty. It Is a small Item. Mr. Cannon: What Is the difference between donations of dollars, donations of clothing, and the hundreds of millions I was going to say billions of dollars that wen donated by the patriotic people? Now, here conies a : bill to establish a precedent to pay back something to somebody who patriotically donated Held kitchens, on which you say they paid a duty when the kitchens were Imported. If you should carry out that same principle, you would have It on all Imported articles. I do not know how much Is Involved In this IJritten: Probably a few hundred dollars. Mr. Cannon: A few hundred dollars! Many millions of dollars? will be Involved In It if you enter upon this policy. Congress Is to Give IF THKUK is anything that the director of the United States mint Just naturally despises, it's new coins. Therefore he's pessimistic these days. Tor congress? has told him to mint three special half-dollars commemorating the tercentenary of the Pilgrims and the centenary of the states1 of Alabama and Maine. Moreover congress is considering ordering a 2-cent or 2l,-eent coin bearing a medallion of Theodore Roosevelt, as urged by the Women's Roosevelt Memorial association. Then there's Senator Frelinghuysen's bill proposing the coinage of 7-cent and Scent pieces.

The 40 "Saddest Words of Tongue or Pen"

IT WASN'T because he was seventyfive years old that he was excluded, for Miss Madeline OmiiY, a graduate nurse many years bis junior, had come all the way from Taunton. Mas-;., to say that Frederic Stone would make her his wife If the immigration official at Kills Island wculd admit the gray-haired Knglishmari to this country. It wasn't because ho was liable to ever become a public charge, for Mr. Stone displayed a roll of $0.000. and aid with an air of nonchalance. 'There's more where this came from, that I jolly well know." It was the literacy test that halted Mr. Stone at lMe Sam's threshold and sent his bride-elect away bowed with disappointment. Mr. Stone cannot read the English language. "Can you read forty word of any oth-r language?" asked the Inspector. "Certainly not." replied Mr. Stone. Miss Kauff, who had come to meet ner betrothed, was sorely disappointed at his exclus5. n. She explained that she had been !o this country only A taw years and that she h-d been la

Most Surprising Bill

That the Secretary of the Treasury Is authorized to permit said post and the Sedgwick Post Women's Kellef Corps, No. S-, to continue to occupy the second lloor of said building until such time as said post dissolves; such occupancy to be without charge for rent, water, heat, or light, which are to be included In snich free use. ' . And that a suitable bronze tablet comiTjemoratlve of this gift shall be furnished and placed on the exterior of said building at the expense of the United States. In the house an eloquent little tribute to the old soldiers by Mann of Illinois was received with applause, and the members decided to show that the vote was unanimous. In the. senate It was pronounced a wonderful bill for the wimc reason that had impressed the house. 'It was passed by unanimous consent. It appears that the post is well-to-do; that the property is valuable and that the present rental from the ground lloor Is considerable. Once Sedgwick Post, No. 10, G. A. It., had about 500 members. Now Its membership has dwindled to 25. Soon the post will have no more need for its hall. The last roll will be called with none to answer "Here." SHALL I RETURN IT ? Mr. Britten: To say that a refund of duties paid on rolling Held kitchens, which contributed to the army, would be establishing a dangerous precedent, is beyond my comprehension. The failure of the house to pass this bill will mean direct taxation on public spirit, direct taxation on patriotism, direet taxation on humanity. It Is a suggest ion that the national treasury Itself should benefit in real hard money, because the war department was not In a position to provide the simple necessities of an unimportant campaign. Mr. Cannon: There was a duty on wool. God knows how the women knit. God knows how they bought and paid for the wool to knit. This establishes a precedent that we ought not to establish, and therefore I object to the consideration of the bill. The Speaker: Objection Is made, The clerk will report the next bill. Us Pretty New Coins The United States has never been strong for new coins. In 1792 congress authorized the following coins for circulation: the eagle ($10), half eagle ($0), quarter eagle ($2.50), the dollar, the "dlsme" (old spelling for dime), half disme (5 cents), the cent and the half cent. Double eagles came Into being In 1S4JJ, the year of the gold rush to California. In 1S51 a new coin, the 3-cent piece, three-quarter silver anl onequarter copper, was introduced, and two years later the three-dollar gold piece came Into being. In 1S57 the half cent was dropped, but another piece, the two-cent coin, was minted In 1SG1. The nickel came Into being In 1800. Congress in 1870 overhauled the entire coinage system and decided upon the following coins: all the gold coins as they now stand, dollar, half dollar, quarter and dime in silver and the minor coins, including the five, three and one-cent pieces. Since that time the three-cent piece has been discarded. WOHT TOU 1ST w I? love with Mr. Stcne for several years prior to her coming. When he retired as a farmer and wrote her that his loneliness was unendurable she consented to become his wife If he would come to America. She had not reckoned on the literacy test. Miss Kauff took an appeal from the exclusion verdict of the board of speclal Inquiry and anxiously awaits a tlnal decision from the heads of the labor department at Washington. The sadden words that ere were said The forty words that couldn't b read.
