Secretary, i Items Gathered in From Far and Near Living According to Today. From the Lowell Courier-Citizen. Dr. Wiley says people can live now about as well and cheaply as ten years ago if they would live in the same way. About everybody else is saying the same thing. People simply will not go back to the old style unless they have to. If, as Dr. Wiley says, they pay $10 a bushel for wheat made into breakfast foods, it is because they want to, knowing as well as he does that they could get the cereals in cheaper forms. The chemist, says, too, that they are cheated in some canned goods. This they cannot very well help, though they might do something by refusing to buy cans im properly filled. They like the canned goods as they do the breakfast foods, and while they have the price will buy them. It is immaterial that they are not making the most of their money. Domestic economy has been a neglect ed science for some time. Tree Surgery. From the Philadelphia Press. An evidence of the beneficent spirit of the conservation of the useful and beautiful that is now being so happily shown throughout our country is to be seen in the minor, but none the less important, rehabilitation of the stately and beautiful shade trees of our eastern country. These one-time monarchs of the forest that formerly covered this section of the country have been allowed to decay and fall t by the thousands, but now a wise sys tern of tree surgery and repair is inaugurated, and skilled men diagnose the condition of these grand sentinels, and by a system of judicious cutting away the dead wood, filling in the gashes with bricks and mortar, and in some cases with cement, thus strengthening the otherwise weak trunks, and then by a skillful covering of the exposed parts with tin or zinc, carefully painted to represent the natural hnes of the bark, the tree is restored to its beauty and guarded against further premature decay. "A Hundred Years Hence." From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. John D. Rockefeller recently said that he was content to have his work judged a hundred years hence. If the present misunderstands him he looks to the future for redress. This reliance on the justice of an infallible future Is by no means uncommon. It seems a heaven-sent refuge from contemporary distress. It is natural, it 1s consoling. But it is at the same time pathetic. We were once the future ourselves. What judgments of our ancestors of a hundred years ago have we authoritatively reversed? What great acts of posthumous justice are written to our credit? Few. if any. The tendency of the future is to consecrate, not reverse, the past. It takes contemporary judgments and elevates them to the rank of traditions. Here and there a scientific historian or a paradoxical genius may seek to reverse contemporary opinion. But these efforts are drops of water dappling the surface of an ocean. Fairbanks' Return. From the Boston Transcript American character and credit have been finely upheld by Mr. Fairbanks' dignified representation abroad, and he deserves a cordial welcome from his countrymen upon his homecoming, now near at hand. Proof Needed. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. We can't believe this is spring till the first robin is chronicled. TWINKLES (By Philander Johnson.) Armor. "Do you wear glasses because your eyeB are defective or because: you think they add to your appearance?" asked the outspoken woman. "For neither reason." replied the patient man. "I wear them to protect my eyes from hat-pins." A Dream. I'd? like to . see them bust each trust

And so we will doubtless go on to the end of the chapter. So we will fancy that we are celebrating the birth of our nation in a highly patriotic way. Fight all the other evils and diseases in the list, the black plague, the yellow fever, the white death and in one day set apart for folly, celebrate signing of the Declaration of Independence with the best of our blood. There are massacres of children in history. They did not begin with Herod. The celebration of All Fools and The Day of the Innocents have been moved to July 4.

In addition the small boys deserve a real Fourth of July. Have we anything in our mechanism which will respond to something as human and real as a day for them? Or is every person past the thrill of changing the expression of the face by having a good time and saving a few of our small friends who are busy playing marbles this fine spring weather as well as giving them a good time. Three months and we shall have a Bloody Day or something else? Lockjaw may be a fitting form of celebrating liberty or folly just as you happen to think about it.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MILK? Now that Richmond people have a chance to find out about milk, will they do it? The housekeepers of the town are holding a meeting tomorrow night to give everyone a chance tofind out what they are feeding themselves and their children. How to take care of milk, what sort of milk we get and what the conditions are here what you put in your stomach. We have suspected for some time that the mi'.k and food situations here, as every place else, are dependent on whether the people know what they are eating and drinking. If people intimate that they would rather have milk from tuberculin tested cattle, food which is not exposed to dust and flies, and tinned stuff that is not preserved in poison they will get what they want. The curious thing about it is that we take everything for granted. Now that the town shows some interest the thing is in a fair way to being settled.

A third of the dairies have been tuberculin tested or are in that process. The dairymen have shown an inclination to co-operate with Dr. Davis and the women of the town in raising the standard of their pro- . duct.

The best thing to be done is to Hurty, of the state board of health, Dr. Coover, state veterinarian are They will be here tomorrow. People ought to be interested cures them. It is also a matter of fairness give people sanitary precautions. appreciation. Whose methods may be found unjust, And gather up the coin that flies When it explodes before our eyes! Hard Luck. "What did you tell that bill collector?" "That you were out," replied the office boy. "And what Tio sav'" "He said he was sorry, as he had! given up his old job and had come around to pay a bill that his new boss owed you." Sensitive. "I guess we'll have to discharge that decorator," said Mr. Cumrox. "What's the trouble?" "He's worked out some novel effects in green and gold. I like "em, but mother and the girls are afraid they'll bo regarded as another allusion to money." Practical Study. "I should advise every young woman to make a thorough study of literature," said Miss Cayenne, thoughtfully. "Why?' "So that when she reads a man's letters she can tell which sentiments are borrowed and which are original." The Statesman's Terror. Oh, peep through the keyhole with care and observe The street, from the casement close drawn! Learn more of this noise that Is wringing each nerve And wrecking my slumbers at dawn.

By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.isM, 1908, by Edwin A. Nv THE WEIGHT OF THE ROPE. A large man aud a small niau wanted to Kt at the bottom of a auyou to look for gold. The walls were precipitous, and the only way dowu was by means of a rope. It was decided rhe larger niau should lower the smaller oue. As a precaution the rope was put about the lighter niau. aud be was lowered a little way to a slight shelf and each time was easily drawn up by the man at the top. So far so good. Finally the full descent was made in the manner agreed upon. Hut when the small man wanted to get up again horrors! the man at the top could not pull him. They had failed to reckon on the weight of several hundred feet of rope. In the story is a touch of human nature. A business man. fairly prosperous, grows discontented with bis slow but sure progress toward independence. He decides upon a coup. He buys far beyond his ordinary ability to pay. depending upon a phenomenal trade which he confidently expects. The custom does not come to his counters as anticipated. Unable to meet bis bills, the first thing be knows be Is down in the canyou of Debt. He cannot get up save as the referee In bankruptcy pulls him out. Too much rope. Another man speculates on the board of trade. He has made a little money In the bucket shop and decides that the old humdrum methods of business are too slow for him. He wants easy money. One day he is at the bottom of the canyon of Speculation. It was a sudden descent. He can't get out because of Too much rope. 'Still another man forms the habit of drink. When be gets the bablt be Is in danger, but does not realise it Can't he quit when be wants to? The rope will pull him out But the coils grow heavy, and when be gets to the bottom there is Too much rope. A married 'woman Indulges In flirtation. There Is no danger. It Is only a harmless diversion. She does not mean to be untrue to her husband. It Is so complimentary t6 find that -some soul is twin to yours." But there Is no stopping place - Too much rope. It may be stated further that the small man who went down In the canyon almost starred before they got him out Some who go down that way never get out. There Is too much rope. At an elevation of ten feet the horizon is slightly more than ten miles away in jerrectly level land or at sea.

LEARNS TO WRITE NAME III A NIGHT

Perseverance of Ignorant In dian Enables Him to Save a Treaty. HE STUDIED: REST SLEPT WHEN THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS DECLARED BAN ON THE SIGN LANGUAGE, DELAWARE GOT CLERK'S HELP. Bartlettsville, Okla., March 22. To learn to write your name after you have reached the age of forty years is no easy task, and when the task is performed in a single night, that the writer might do a service to his country, the story becomes of interest. This is what John Young, a full-blood Delaware Indian, living twelve miles north of Bartlettsville. performed. John is now sixty years of age, and he wp.s a member twelve years agOj of the last business committee appointed by the Delawares to complete the final treaty negotiations on that trip and get the document signed by the Indians and representatives of the government. John talks English well, but he never learned to read and write. It was this handicap that had to be overcome in a single night. There were five members of the treaty commission appointed by the a m "ui v tit ia: aw w o an ion x, ' duty the commission had to perform, and the five men were the best who could be selected. The government took the commissioners to Washington, where the treaty negotiations were under way. There the commissioners were entertained at the New Wlllard Hotel and given every care and attention. The, plan of adopting the treaty was finally agreed upon. Could Not Sign the Treaty. It was agreed that the treaty should be signed by the members of t'ae senate committee on Indian affairs, by the secretary of the interior department, by I he president of the United States and by each of the five members of the commission sent by the Delawares. This last condition made the prospect of the adoption of tlie treaty look had from the standpoint of the Delawares. John Young could not write. The Indians asked if Young could not be allowed to make his mark, but those in control of the governments interest in the case were obdurate. The fact that Young could not write seemed to make it neecssary to declare off treaty negotiations. The Indians would have to return to the tribe and another commission would have had to be selected bv a conference in the place of Young. The j Indians realized that their people at! home were expecting them to com-, plete the treaty negotiations on that, trip and get the tribal affairs straightened out. Expecting that they would i nave to drop the negotiations and adjourn when they should meet the ext day the Indian and government opresentatives finally adjourned their meeting for twenty-four hours. Practices All Night. Then it was that John Young arose to the occasion and showed that he was made of the right kind of material. He had seen other men draw signs on pieces of paper and he knew they called it writing. He had seen the written names of other men and observed that there was a similarity about the name every time he saw it. Knowing these things, he believed he could learn to put down the sign that meant John Young. He went to the clerk in the New Willard hotel and asked him to write the name John Young on a card. He took this card and a supply of writing materials to his room. All night long he sat there, and w ith the dogged persistence of his people copied that name over and over. While the other members of the commission slept or thought of their fruitless trip John simply drew over and over again the symbol that meant nothing to him, but would pass with the government as his name. When morning came he had covered his room with scraps of paper, but his task was eccompllshed. The clerk in the hotel happened to be a very good writer, and when the treaty was presented to John Young for his signature the name that went down as the pen glided over the paper looked as if it had been engraved. John doesn't talk about the task he performed the night he worked to do his tribe a service. He is a simple kindly old Indian, with a large family. He owns the lake near Copan known as Young's Lake, and he likes to meet and talk to the hunters who go out there from town, but he Is very modest about his own achievement.

THE HERPES COMES OUT Frequently Show Itself In the Same Place Every Winter. The herpes very frequently shows

itself only In the winter time and in identically the same spot every year. When it comes out, a little poslam should be at once applied, and this annoying skin affection will quickly vanish. Poslam is the new skin remedy which has cured thousands of the worst cases of eczema and eradicated facial and other disfigurements 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 j 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 should immediately secure one of the special 50-cent packages recently adopted to meet such needs. Both the 50-cent package and the regular $2 jar may be obtained 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. HOUSES OF SCUTARI. A Possible Reason Why Their Windows Are Iron Barred. Of all villainous roads those outside of Scutari are the most depraved. They are not roods at all. but just washes and wallows and ditches aud stone gullies. 1 have seen bad roads in parts of our own country, roads surveyed by George Washington aud never touched since, but they were a dream of luxury as compared with these of Turkey. Our carriages billowed and bobbed and pitched and bumped themselves until I got out and talked to keep from being lamed for life. Aud then the houses the villas 1 had expected to see dear me. how can I picture those cheap, ugly, unpulnted. overdecorated architectural crimes? They are wooden aud belong to the jigsaw period gone mad.

AMOrS GRAVEYARDS. The City and the Cemeteries Are Hopelessly Intermingled. The city of Amoy Is on an Island of the same name. For upward of 1.000 years it has been an Important trading place. The population of the island is estimated at over 400.000. and it has been said that there are something like 5.000,000 dead bodies packed In Its soil. For many centuries the hillsides of the city have been used as a burying ground. Now the city and the cemetery are hopelessly mixed. The graves touch one another at every point and form a solid white surface of rock, brick, porcelain and cement, covering more than 1.000.000 square feet Near

one of the Joss houses 30.000 bodies are buried vertically to save space. They ptand on a plot of ground of as many feet square. The wells from which the city draws its water supply are shallow and are sunk on the edge of graveyards and even among the tombs themselves. The water is muddy and la colored by the perpetual turning up of the soil. It has no sewers, and the streets vary from two feet to six feet In width. No wheeled vehicles can use them. Here and there Is an open place or plaza, dug out so as to be a huge receptacle Into which the streets discharge their refuse. Filth abounds, and Its twin sister, disease, nourishes. The atmosphere Is laden with noxious smells, and the burial of the dead goes on at an alarming rate. The Zulu Diamond Miner. As showing the loyalty of the Zulu diamond miners Sir William Crookes described an amusing Incident which came to his knowledge when at Kllpdam. The Zulu had been superintend ing a gang of natives on a small claim at the river washings. It yielded but few stones, and the owner sold the claim, handing over the plant snd the small staff, the Zulu remaining to look after the business till the new owner took possession. In the course of a few months the purchaser became dissatisfied with bis bargain, not a single diamond having turned up since the transfer. One night the Zulu came to his old master In a mysterious manner and. laying n handful of diamonds on the table, said: "There, boss, are your diamonds. I was not going to let the new man b.ive any of them I" King and Commons. King James I. of England, although keenly alive to his owu divine right yet recognized the power of the bouse of commuus.

Young Commentators. A speaker In a Sunday school address quoted oddities from a number of children's Biblical compositions that had been submitted to nisi in competition for a fifteen dollar prise. Among the more whimsical were: -Manna Is being polite." "Jerusalem was surrounded with walls to keep In the milk and honey." -Jacob was a patriarch by trade. la

them days people lived on corn, like horses da now. They always called pudden and porridge messea. Jacob could eat a good mess, but Esau, who was the oldest, could not eat as much as you might think.

Stomach Dead Flan Still Lives Teople who suffer from sour stomach, fermentation of food, distress after eating and indigestion, and seek relief in large chunks of artificial digest ore. are killing their stomachs by inaction just as surely as the victim of morphine is deadening and injuring beyond repair every nerve In h!s body. What the stomach of every sufferer from indigestion needs is a good prescription that will build up his stomach, put strength, energy and elasticity Into it. and make It sturdy enough to digest a hearty meal without artificial aid. The best prescription for indigestion ever written is sold by druggists ev erywhere and by L. 11. Flhe and Is rigidly guaranteed to build up the stomach and cure Indigestion or money back. This prescription is named Mi-o-na. and is sold in small tablet form In large boxes for only 50 cents. Remember the name. Ml-on-a stomach tablets. They never fail. They contain Ingredients that give quick relief (other than stronn digesters), but they are compounded for the purpose of making the stomach strong and energetic enough to do Its work without the aid of harmful drugs.
