If women weren't vain they would be women in vain. The prayers of the industrious are generally answered.

Gems In Verse

The Main Thing. What care I for caste or creed? It is the deed, it is the deed. What for class or what for clan? It is the man, it is the man. Heirs of love and joy and woe. Who is high and who is low? Mountain, valley, sky and sea Are for all humanity. What care I for robe or stole? It is the soul, it is the soul. What for crown or what for crest? It is the heart within the breast; It is the faith, it is the hope, It is the struggle up the slope, It is the brain and eye to see One God and one humanity. Robert Loveman.

Ignorance of the law employs a lawand grows sadand wiser. Some lies are just lies and others are works of art. Success is as eluas the trout you did not hook. A lazy man is usually truthful, as it is easier to tell the truth than to conceal it.

PRESIDENT Roosevelt has a right to feel "de-lighted" these pleasant June days. With the rate bill passed, with the pure food bill virtually a law, with meat inspection a certainty and with the canal question settled, he can afford to draw a long breath and give his attention to other things. The rate bill is not in all resas he would have it, and the pure food bill does not go as far as he would wish in some respects, probably, but each measure goes a long way toward achieving the deresult; and, being a sensible man, he knows it is wise to accept the attainable cheerfully and trust to the better enlightenment of future Congresses to complete the needed reform.-Plymouth Tribune.

The June Bride. With smiling lips And winning ways The June bride trips Before our gaze. As light as air And quite as free, A creature fair Indeed to see. Her dress of lace And other things In simple grace Around her clings, And just beneath Her brand new lid An orange wreath Is scarcely hid. The bridegroom-where, Oh, where is he? We do not care As long as she From time to time On deck is found And in the limelight stands around. Though not in view, A knot is soon To tie him to This bride of June. He dreams this plan Must bring delight And hopes the man Will tie it tight.

Warning dispatches from LaPorte say that a corset expert is giving demonstrations there and is headed for Hammond. Now in addition to a lid which is screwed down tight, Hammond is to have stays on her sides.

Some observing fellow who gets pretty close to the truth says a boy can sit on a board on a hand sled three inches broad hitched behind a bob sled going twelve miles an hour for hours at a time, but put him on a sofa to remain quiet for five minutes would be very near an impossibility. A man will sit on a barb wire fence for three hours at a stretch and talk

politics, but put him in a comfortable

pew for forty-five minutes, he will get figety, fall asleep, snore and amuse the congregation so that they

afterwards wonder what the minister

preached about.

WITH THE EDITORS

The real friends of Bryan in the Democratic party do not hesitate to say in private conversion that they hope he will not be nominated for president next time for the reason that the men now in control of the Democratic organization. Taggart, Belmont and that crowd, would knife him at the polls and defeat him if possible. The Democrats who have been his constant followers for twelve years still want to see him president, but they know he has no chance until the party is controlled by honest men.-Crawfordsville Journal.

The congressman-humorist, Adam Bede, tells a very homely truth in a very funny sentence when he says that "if people get a pain in their stomachs they run to congress to cure it." And congress makes the gregious breach of medical ethics by administering remedies which the lofamily physician should prescribe and enforce.-Elkhart Review.

"I don't understand why there should be salt in Salt river unless it flows from the sea." "It is watered by the tears of the defeated. That is easy enough."

Itemized. Mrs. Jones asks her husband for some money along about the 15th of the month. "Where is that $10 I gave you the first of the month?'' he growls. "Well," she replies reflectively, so as not to miss a single item, "I bought a new hat with it, a pair of shoes for the baby, the family groceries and next winter's supply of coal, and as I have only $13.50 of it left I thought I might like to have a little additional change for a possible emergency, if you can spare it" If. If your face weren't fair And like sunbeams your hair, If your teeth weren't white And your smile weren't bright, If your eyes weren't blue And your heart were'nt true, Then maybe I might, If I shut my eyes tight, Keep your neat little feet In their rapid retreat From dancing away with my heart, Sweetheart, From dancing away with my heart.

Playing Safe. "You have heard about the gentlewho is called the father of lies." "He is no gentleman." "I know he isn't, but I thought he might be a friend of yours and I wantto let him down easy."

THE MAN OF WORDS

By RUDYARD KIPLING

T

The Critical Ages. It is calculated that the amount of heat given off by the human body within twenty-four hours would be sufficient, if concentrated, to bring a nine inch cube of steel to a white heat. It is this heat which literally burns up the body, and the very first day that a man ceases to renew the tissues by taking food he loses about half a pound or a pound in weight. Brain workers give off a greater amount of heat than physical workers; hence they are more liable to collapse. After overwork they

OF LAKE COUNTY

HERE is an ancient legend which tells us that when the first tain more capital-in other words, they

man achieved the first noble deed he wished to explain to have been consumed by the fire of the body at a quicker rate than it takes his tribe what he had done, but as soon as he began to speak nature to supply a quantity of fresh

he was smitten with dumbness, he lacked words, and sat

down. Then arose-according to the story-a "masterman who had taken no part in action, no special virtues and was "afflicted"-that is the phrase-with the magic of the necessary words. He spoke, he explained the action to the tribe in such a fashion that we are assured that the words "became alive and WALKED UP AND DOWN IN THE HEARTS OF ALL HIS HEARERS." Thereupon the tribe, seeing that the words were alive, and fearing that the man with the words might be telling untrue words to their children, arose and killed him. But later they saw that the magic was in the words and not in the man. We have progressed in many direcsince the time of this early and destructive criticism, but so far we do not seem to have found a sufficient substitute for the man with the necessary words as the final record to which all achievement must look. Even today those who have done a thing must wait until all has been said BY THE MASTERLESS MAN WITH THE WORDS.

It is certain that the overwhelming bulk of these words will perish in the future as they have perished in the past. It is certain, too, that some few of these words will live, and by those words only will our children be able to judge of the phases of our generations. Now we desire beyond all things to stand well with our children. But when our story comes to be told we do not know WHO will tell it. There are many tellers, and they are all talking together. If anything short of undisputed and distilled truth be handed down how shall our achievements profit us? The record of our tribe is just its enduring literature. The magic of literature lies IN THE WORDS and not in any man. Witness, a thousand excellent strenuwords can leave us quite cold or put us to sleep, while a bare half hundred words breathed by some man in his agony or in his exultation or in his idleness GENERATIONS AGO can still lead whole nainto captivity, can still open to us the doors of three worlds, can still stir us so intolerably that we can scarcely bear the look of our souls. It is a miracle and one that happens very seldom, but each masman with the words is hoping, or has had hopes, that the miracle may be repeated again through him. And why not ? If a tinker in Bedford jail, if a pamphleteer shopkeeping in London, if a condemned French thief or an English admiral can be the medium for making necessary words, why not ANY MAN AT ANY TIME? And our work, which is only concerned in the perpetuation of the record, sanctions that hope as kindly and just as cruelly as nature sanctions love. It suggests that the man with the

words shall wait upon the man of achievement and step by step with him try to tell to the tribe. All it demands is that the magic of every

word shall be TRIED OUT TO THE UTMOST BY EVERY MEANS, fair and foul, that the mind of man can suggest. There is no room for pity, mercy or respect, for fear, or even for

legality, between man and his fellow man when the record of the tribe

comes to be written. That record must satisfy the keenest and deepest SELF KNOWLEDGE of the present and satisfy also the shameless curiosity of the future. WHEN IT HAS DONE THIS IT IS LITERATURE, OF WHICH LITERATURE IT WILL BE SAID IN DUE TIME THAT IT FITLY REPRESENTS ITS AGE. I SAY IN DUE TIME, BECAUSE AGES, LIKE INDIVIDUALS, DO NOT ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE MERITS OF A RECORD THAT PURPORTS TO REPRESENT THEM.

tissue and muscle. The ages of twen-twenty-eight, thirty-five and forty-two are the most critical periods of a person's lifetime, for at about these ages nature will have fitted the body out with new raw materials, which may or may not stand the test of the person's ever changing habits of life.

THE WAY TO WORK. lief a cloth should never be employed. Camel's hair brushes should be used for removing accumulations of dust, a heavy one for ordinarily raised figures and a finer brush in the case of flowers. The petals of roses, for instance, would suffer considerably if one attempted to cleanse them with an ordinary duster. A brush does the work far better and without damage to the delicate china or porcelain leaves.

STATE STREET'S DEEP DITCH

The sewer on West State street has been attracting the attention of all passers by, business men as well as the man who stands on one foot and whittles a stick. The hole is now about eleven feet deep and the method of supplying water to State street residents while the mains are on the surface of the ground shows considerable ingenuity.

Marvelous Resources Of Alaska Territory By Ex-Governor JOHN G. BRADY of Alaska ALL that Alaska needs today is people and better interior transportation facilities. It is a country of most MAGNIFICENT RESOURCES, not only with respect to its minerals, but in agriculture, lumbering and the fisheries. There is a splendid opportunity there for active, ambitious men who are not afraid to work-farmers, mechanics, fishermen. Of course, the more a man takes with him the better start he can get, but if he has nothing more than his transportation there HE CAN'T STARVE if he is willing to work.

Tho sea will furnish him with sufficient food, and there will always be plenty of firewood to keep him warm. The American public would be astonished to know what interior Alaska has to offer in the wav of climate, scenery and fertilitv of soil. I am inclined to think that its greatest asset in the future will be, not its minerals or its fisheries, BUT ITS GRASS CROP, strange as that statement may seem to easterners. We are today raising great crops of clover and other grasses in our valleys, and the cultivation of wheat oats, barley, flax and potatoes is carried on extensively. Small fruits are plentiful everywhere, and most persons will be surprised to know that from my garden in Sitka I picked large stalks of rhubarb on April 3 of this year.

But in order to develop even our agricultural resources it is necesthat we should have railroads. I took a horseback journey up the Copper river valley not very long ago, stopping at a roadhouse some fifty miles from the coast over night The charge for my own meals was $1 each, but for the feed of my horse, on account of the high cost of freight, I WAS COMPELLED TO PAY FOUR DOLLARS. IN MY OPINION THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD TAKE HOLD AND BUILD OR GUARANTEE A SYSTEM OF RAILROADS, EXERCISING IN EVERY CASE CONTROL OVER THE QUESTION RATES.
