"Why did you advise that literary aspirant to the use of a fountain pen?" "Because," answered the cold hearted publisher, "he will be kept so busy filling: it and washing his hands that he won't have time to write much." "De man wif de hard-luck-story habit," said Uncle Eben, "is liable to 'magine dat he's gittin' sympathy when he's merely makln folks sigh because dey's tired o' listenin'." Luxury Denied.

Victims of Circumstances. , "Did any of your ancestors have in sanity?" "I'm afraid so." "What was its cause?" "The lack of facilities for employ ing alienists to show they were all right." Hems Gathered in From Far and Near Treatment of Sewage. Prom the Newark News. That the last word with reference to the treatment of sewage has not yet been said seems manifest from the processes adopted by and apparently growing in favor -with many of the largest European cities. Hamburg, Cologne, Dresden, Liverpool, Belfast, Bristol, Hull and many smaller cities have adopted the dilution system. The sewage Is screened of all floating matter, and is then turned into the adjacent rivers, without chemical treat ment, and the results seem to be en tirely satisfactory. As the cities of Europe are older than our own, it is but natural that the question of the treatment and disposal of sewage should have received longer and more careful study than has - been given it in this country. In point of fact, Eur ope leads us in sewage purification matters, and, though the subject has by no means been exhausted abroad, American engineers can learn much from the plans adopted for the treat ment of sewage by cities across the Atlantic. Discipline in the Army. From the Philadelphia Ledger. President Taft, in sustaining the verdict of dismissal Imposed upon seven cadets by - the superintendent of the West Point Academy, has restored discipline to that institution. The au thority of the officials of the academy had been subverted during the last ad ministration, i- Several cadets had been found guilty of gross infraction of the rules, and had been regularly , tried and sentenced to dismissal and to oth er forms of punishment. Immediately they rushed to Washington; appealed frantically to their senators and rep resentatives In Congress; exerted ev ery possible influence in the political world at their command, and so ef fectually did they work that President Roosevelt interceded in their behalf, and reversed his own Secretary of War and the authorities of West Point Bank Guaranty. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. So far as Kansas is concerned, the bank guaranty problem overshadows every other public question, even to the extent of dwarfing prohibition. Statesmen on Vacation. From the Duluth News-Tribune. Congress is scattering. The lucky members are on their way to Europe and the rest on their way home to ex plain. Tip for Washington. From the Spokane Spokesman.

The Twilight And the Younger Set If It were as easy for honesty to be recognized as white; and graft as apparent as black, there would be little trouble for anyone concerned. We should enjoy what Is pleasantly known as the "millenium, the "Golden Age" or some other form of earthly paradise.

But this is not the case. , - You do not have to wait until some prominent citizen dies carrying only to his grave the secret of the despoliation of some bank or trust fund. That is of comparatively infrequent occurrence. The man who plies his trade the most successfully is the man who operates in a hazy twilight in which both good and bad are obscured in the confusion of the unseen. This town is no exception to the condition in other towns and cities in America. The life goes on serenely here. We meet men on the street and in other public places -who greet us with smiles they enjoy a good reputation, they may or may not have money. But what do they do In the twilight

Next to their own misdeeds (which are on their own heads) there is one thing that these men do which is beyond all doubt their worst sin. That is in causing the loss of ideals in the younger generation. How many boys enter the offices of large concerns in this town every year? A whole generation has to be taken care of every twelvemonth. Do these fellows get the idea that it is "good business" to work in the twilight? They naturally look up to the head of their establishment as a 'successful' man. Money is the chiefest test nowadays. But how has the man's money been gained through loss of ideals? Is the boy taught that it is a piece of good business for a corporation to lobby in the state legislature to obtain legislation whereby it can force its commodities on the public? Is he taught that the public never does any thing for him therefore why should he give a for the public? Is he taught that the public Is one vast field for his operations and should only be considered as a means of enriching himself?

' Is he taught that there is no dishonor in a business transaction unless he is found out? Is he taught that what is most to be desired is money and then more money no matter what the cost so the transaction be lost in the haze of twilight and be called "business" and not graft?

There is a battle coming between ideals and those who have none. There is a day coming when that thing called the 'public will resolve Itself into men. Looking back over the history of nations and even of individual states and towns it is the ideals which have won. The greatest sin that any man can do is to debase the coming generation. And that is as true in Richmond as any place. That is the sin of the Twilight. There is a difference between Theodore Roosevelt and J. D. Rockefeller. " . It is the difference of the Twilight. But there is a Twilight in Richmond.

tion and prearranged campaigns. The benefits growing out of the holding of important gatherings are so well understood that the rivalry of compet ing cities has become intensely lively. The conventions that are worth having do not go begging for recognition; they are always besieged by strong and aggressive delegations from many states. Skillful Drinking. - From the Dayton News. It's a wise candidate who can taKe a drink or refuse it without raising the temperance issue. CLEARS THE COMPLEXION 0VERINMGHT Pimples, Rash, Eruptions, Etc.7 Quick ly Eradicated by New Skin Remedy. Since its discovery one year ago, poslam, the new skin remedy, has, in its extraordinary accomplishments, ex ceeded the most sanguine expectations of the eminent specialist who gave it to the world. It has cured thousands of cases of eczema and eradicated facial and other disfigure ments of years' standing. The terrible itching attending eczema is stopped with the first application, giving proof of its curative properties at the very outset. . , In less serious skin affections, such as pimples, rash, herpes, blackheads, acne, barber's itch, etc., results show after an overnight application, only a small quantity being required to effect a cure. Those who use poslam for these minor skin troubles can now avail themselves of the special 50-cent package, recently adopted to meet such needs. Both the 50-cent package and the regular $2 jar may now be obtained in Richmond at W. H. Sudhoff's and other leading drug stores. Samples for experimental purposes may be had free of charge by writing direct to the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West Twenty-fifth Street New York City. The Wrong Laddie. A gentleman on a walk from one of the suburbs of Glasgow happened to call at a farmhouse, where he was readily supplied with a glass of milk. He offered the woman sixpence, but she declined all payment. 'i couldna tak money for t," she said in her own proud way. The gentleman expressed his acknowledgment and went on bis way. but at the garden gate be detected a small boy playing. Surely, he thought, this Is the lady's son. So be put his hand in his pocket to give him the sixpence when he beard a shrill voice. "That's na ma laddie, sir." Then there was a pause, and the voice afterward resounded, this time directed toward a small boy at the side door, "Gang oot.

Heart to Heart Talks.

By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.ight, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye "COUNT YOUR. BLESSlSGS." Said a woman of my acquaintance: "Last year my husband was ill, and now ray daughter is threatened with tuberculosis. Living expenses are high, and my husband's salary is only $1,000 a year. Why should we be put into tbis world to suffer so? Life is really not worth living sometimes." This woman lived in her own borne and had never lacked for life's necessaries. I said to her, in substance, but evidently without effect: The problem of suffering, like that of sin. is an old one, but to fancy that one is luckless beyond others is ill founded. I believe, if you will look about you, you will find many of your fellow beings worse off than you are. The suggestion doubtless "went in one ear and out the other." Privation? Suffering? Why, this woman did not live in a ramshackle tenement up rickety stairs. Her husband never came home from the saloon around the corner with an empty pocketbook and loaded with liquor to drive ber heavy handed into the streets. The complaining woman did not live in a two room and closet apartment, where yon buy coal by the scuttleful. bread by the half loaf and ice by the pound. 4 She never haunted the butcher shops late on Saturday night, when the very poor do their pitiful marketing, to buy for almost nothing what will not keep until Monday to purchase a cheap soup bone or a neck of mutton for a penny or two. No; this woman did not know. She did not know that to find a quarter of a dollar for the slot of the gas meter may become a financial problem and rent day a real tragedy. She never heard her children cry of cold in winter nor moan of thirst in summer. She never had to partly starve a living child to pay the funeral expenses of a dead one. Perhaps my complainant would not believe that thousands live this life because "one half the world does not know how the other half lives." That's the point we complain oat of our ignorance. We are all of us as illogical as this querulous woman. Go along the streets. Open your eyes. For one who is better off you can see a dozen who are worse en than yon. A Name Like a College Yell. From a crowd of rah-rah college boys celebrating a crevr victory a policeman had managed to abstract two prisoners. "What is thi charge against these young men?" asked the magistrate before whom they were arraigned. "Disturbin the peace, yer honor. said the policeman. "They were givin their college yells in the street an makln trouble generally." What is your name?" the judge asked one of the prisoners. "Ro-ro-bert Ro-ro-rolllns, stuttered the youth. "I asked for your name, sir not theevldenc." Everybody's Magazine.

Funeral Was Stopped By WritBurial Contract Is Violated

Goshen, Ind., Aug. 24. Held back from its last resting place, as it wa3 about to be lowered into the grave by a court writ backed up by six weighty policemen, the body of Charles. Crary was placed in a vault to remain there until the courts can decide whether or not a dead man can be held responsible for a contract made while still in life. The body was carried from the side of the grave this afternoon by the policemen, led by C. B. Stiver, an undertaker, who resented the performance of the last attentions to the dead by a business rival. Ten years ago, according to Stiver, Crary made a contract with him providing for his funeral. The agree ment called for cremation of the body in Chicago, the obsequies to be at tended to by Stiver. Last week Crary died in Dallas, Texas, and the body was brought here by Wesley Crary, his uncle and heir. Another under taking concern was given the body, and yesterday was set as the date for the funeral. At the Crary home the funeral ser mon was preached, and six friends of the deceased carried the coffin from the house to the hearse. Stivers, while protesting, had not pushed his claim violently, and the cortege proceeded to the cemetery. As the coffin was lifted toward the UNCLE JOE BURNS MR WITH RETORT TO CONG. FOWLER (Continued From Page One.) tee was ever at sixes and sevens and that the bulk of the Republican membership of the house considered him as a choice excerpt from "Pickings from Puck." so far as constructive statesmanship is concerned. "There never would have been an emergency currency bill," said a nota-1 ble member of the house tonight, "if the great majority of the Republican side had not flatly put down the heel on the Fowler neck and ignominiously discharged him ancf his committee from further consideration of meas ures over which he now yowls like a homeless stray at midnight, with the moon rising at the yon side of the Washington monument." Famous Perfecto Is Out. It is to be noted that not once did the speaker tilt the perfecto at the accustomed angle during the time he was talking. Life is not one sweet song, even on Mackinac Island, where are all the comforts of home and somebody ever at hand to crack the ice. All of the external evidence points to the fact that there has been one perfectly good explosion in the vicinity of Joseph Gurney Cannon and that the end is not yet. A Midsummer Fsney. There has come about a popular fashion of pinning a rose or any large flower well down in the center of an evening bodice. The gold and siiver roses which came in last autumn are not the preferred thing any longer, though. The present fashion calls for a silken flower in rare color. It is surrounded by green leaves, has a rubber stem finely made and is loosely cangbt to the lace or the jeweled net which Is so often used in front of a bodice and is quite a good touch. The wide cpen flower In extra size is preferred to the half closed one. Bouquets of blossoms are not used as they were last winter. While the gardenia or camellia is fashionable, there are other flowers with more color that are more Imposing. Among these are a poppy, a large orchid, an exaggerated iris, a peony and a full blown American Beauty.,, The scarlet polnsettia Is often chosen.

Home to Reward

determined grave by the pallbearers the six policemen, one officer to each pallbearer, stepped forward from the shrubbery. Supporting the casket, they disengage! the hands of its former bearers and pushed them aside. Then Stiver waving the writ obtained an hour before the funeral stopped the funeral by legal order. Shocked by the interruption of the ceremony, Wesley Crary and other relatives of the dead man protested. They threatened violence, but to no avail. Stiver remained obdurate and accord ing to the instructions of the holder of the writ the policemen carried the cas ket from the grave to a vault in anoth er part of the cemetery. Taking watches as sentries the policemen are tonight guarding the vault against any attempt on the part of Crary'8 family to take the body and lower it into the grave which was first dug for it. Stiver will appear in court tomorrow when a hearing on the writ will be given by the Judge. He declares that nothing will shake his intention ol holding Crary's ten-year-old contract down to the very letter of its verbiage. It is expected that the court room will be filled when the case is called Wesley Crary has declared his determination not to bow to the demands of Stiver. He says that his nephew was mentally irresponsible when he mads the contract. SHE CHARGES ABUSE Mrs. Florence Maddox Says Her Husband Treated Her Cruelly. SHE ASKS FOR DIVORCE Averments that her husband. Joseph A. Maddox, is a habitual drunkard, that he is cruel and inhuman, at least toward her, and that he is also abusive and cross, are made by Mrs. Florence E. Maddox in her complaint for divorce, filed in the circuit court yesterday, through her attorneys Freeman and Freeman. She also prays the court to change her name to her maiden name. Miss Florence E. Ellis. The two were married July 2S, 1899 and separated February I, 1909. It is averred in the complaint that the defendant refused to speak to the plaintiff in a kind and affectionate manner for two years preceding their separation. The plaintiff also sets forth that she had to earn her own support by sewing, although her husband was amply able to do so, being a stationary engineer. Why Man Wear Trousers. No living man of this age deliberately chose to adopt trousers. He was forced into them and all other eccentricities of dress by woman. In the very earliest sartorial experience of every man be is scathed in a queer bundle of Incoherent bandages by a woman. Later she puts him into cute little dresses so that the neighbors rnn't tell him from his little sister. Still later she cuts off bis curls and puts him into knickerbockers, and he puts on "long pants" when she gives the word and not before. That Is all that man has to do or ever had to do with wearin trousers. Woman forced him into them In the first place, and now he is afraid to wear anything else for fear et makin; a sensation. Mayor Arthur, of McKeesport, Pa., has decided that men convicted of intoxication must sign a paper permitting their wives to draw their , wages for at least one year. In the case of an unmarried man his next of kin, man or woman, is to draw his wages. The alternative is a term of six months in the workhouse. ! Stealing electricity in Colorado is punishable by a fine of $50 and im prisonment for thirty days.

DEFICIENCY FOR U. S. G0VERMEI1T

IS MHMBULE It Is Not Thought by Treasury Department Officials That The Next Congress Will Be Troubled. APPROPRIATIONS TO COVER ALL EXPENSES If Funds for Public Improvement Are Exhausted Work Must Cease Until Appropriation Is Made. (American News Service) Washington, Aug. 24. According to belief in the treasury department congress will not be railed upon next December to pass any large deficiency appropriation bill. The reason for thiJ i3 the limitations placed upon the de , partmcnt by the last congress which make it illegal for any department to create a deficiency. This means that all public work must be kept within the amount specifically appropriated Should the appropriation for any par ticular work, such as the purchase o! a site for a public building or an im provement of some river or harbor prove insufficient the work must stop until congress appropriate again. Important Change. Another important change made in appropriations made by the last conpress, and which was a direct slap at the Roosevelt administration, was tli restriction placed upon the president in the matter of appointing commis sions, president Koosevelt made n record in the matter of appointing commissions to investigate any pub lic question that happened to strike his fancy. These commissions necessarily involved a charge on the public treas ury that often ran into the thousands of dollars. Sometimes the commitsions were composed of officials of the government, and while they did not call for an appropriation, the officials thus detailed were taken from their legitimate work. Tbis practice which was a feature in the last administra tion, has been discontinued by the in hibition of congress. The president is estopped from appointing any com mis sions not authorized by the law. How Law Interfered. Perhaps had it not been for this leg' iblation President Taft might have by this time appointed a commission to investigate the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy. However, if the president should feel called upon to get at the facta of the alleged scandals concerning water power sites and also coal lands of Alaska he has full power to detail inspectors of the Interior department or the department of Justice to investigate and report to him with the view of recommending such legislation to congress as may be necessary. ' It is not improbable that the president i will pursue this course for by doing so he would secure all the facts and thus make unnecessary the contemplated congressional investigation next winter. Such action would be ia keeping with his program of economy for it is known that congressional investigations are most exhaustive affairs and seldom result in anything tnngible. Carefully Considered. Congressman Tawney of the house appropriations committee, says that the provisions in the appropriations bill making it unlawful for any department of the government to create a deficiency and estopping the president from appointing commissions unless authorized by law mere carefully considered by congress and their sole purpose was the interest of true economy In public expenditures. He is confident the budget for the support of the government will be considerably less than the appropriations for the fiscal year lOnfMmo. This view U shared by all the members of the appropiration committee. It means that the departments in their estimates to be submitted to congress next December wull be more accurate than heretofore and that future deficiency bills will be smaller. In the closing days of the extra session Chairman Tawney who will have control of Uncle Sam's purse strings, expressed the opinion that the honse Mould make a record for economy in public expenditures that would reflect credit on the Taft administration. In so many words he said there will be but little new public work ordered and that every bill be carefully scrutinized. No opportunity would be given the democrats to charge the house republicans with extravagance. Being in want of a steady, reliable servant a lawyer advertised as follows: "Wanted A girl with simple tastes: must not be extravagant; no flash 1 clothes: not flighty: musn't gad about or exchange remarks with any casual pedestrian." Some friend sent him a baby. New York Sun.
