"What we want Is peace and harmony and politeness In business," said Mr. Dustln Stax. "And there is only one way to get it." "What Is that?" "Find some way to convince the fellow who gets the worst of It that he might as well take his medicine and stop kicking." WORK AND WORRY. "Worry wears out more people than work does," said the ready-made (Philosopher. "Of course it does," replied Mr. Growcher; "for the simple reason that .so many of us would rather put in our time worrying about work than doing it." REMARKABLE FISH. "I thought you said there were fish around here," said the disappointed sportsman. "There are," replied Farmer Corntoaael. "Rut they are experienced fish. More over they're kind and considerate." "I haven't had a nibble." "Well, you don't think they'd bite at that brand-new fancy tackle, do you? They'd stand off and admire it, but they'd never take a chance on getting it mussed up."

Some of the Phonographic Record When the Tory Marion Chronicle called this newspaper the phonographic record of the Philadelphia North American it gave us gratification which it did not intend. The Marion Chronicle has reference to the fact that this newspaper has the same general views of national questions which animate the Philadelphia North American; and it Is because of that fact that the Palladium quotes from the leader of" the fight against special privilege in the East. There are bo few untrammeled news sources regarding national affairs that papers like the North American and the Kansas City Star and the Los Angeles Express stand out with particular force as much from their intrinsic character as from their careful editing. Newspapers are the creatures of men and as such are reflections of their characters. The controlled newspaper is of the same sort as the controlled man; it may be chaming, attractive, witty, polished and usual

ly is to cover up the vital defect in its character. The Tory newspapers a name which the Philadelphia North American has had much to do with in impressing on the people the striking parallel between the defenders of special privilege in all times and places simply reflect the characteristics the creatures and creators of special privilege. liy way of showing in a particular instance how base a thing it is to reprint the articles appearing in the Philadelphia North American we reprint today part of an editorial not for the benefit of the Marion Chronicle but for our own readers. We wish that every right mind ed American citizen could find time to read the series of public utterances made by Gov. Woodrow Wilson during the few months that have passed since he won his single-handed victory for popular government in regenerated New Jersey's memorable session of the state legislature. Entirely apart from politics, present and future, we count it no exaggeration to declare our opinion that no other American has approached so nearly to Jefferson and Lincoln in wonderful facility and felicity of stating the problems and their solutio is which touch real Americanism from every angle. The people will hear much privilege-inspired censure of Woodrow Wilson as a demagogue, an ambitious self-seeker and all the like worn-out methods of attack, unvaried from the days of the Gracchi to those of Roosevelt and Lafollette, whenever a formidable advocate of popular rights and exponent of popular aspirations has arisen. In advance of such certain misrepresentation we have taken the liberty of depicting Woodrow Wilson the man and his ideals and purposes in his own words. We have endeavored to do this by grouping scattered extracts from 15 of his public addresses, as follows: "We the people, have not free access enough to our own agents or direct enough control over them. There are barriers to break down and processes to simplify, which we liberals believe we know how to get at. We mean, by one change or another, to make our government genuinely popular and representative again." "We are cutting away anomalies, not institutions. We are clearing away the jungle and letting in the pure light and air, not destroying the wholesome forest or creating waste places where there was productive growth." "Such tasks are typically American. It has always been our privilege and our happy capacity to show they can be done without revolution, without strife or hatred or injustice, without the necessity of drawing, in De Tocqueville's memorable phrase, 'a single tear or a single drop of blood from mankind.' " "The main object of what we are attempting, both in state and nation, is to establish h close connection, a very sensitive connection, between the people and their governments, both in the states and in the nation, in order that we may restore in such wise as will satisfy us again the liberty and the opportunity in whose interests our governments were conceived." "But some men put a false interpretation upon this. There is a certain unreasonable fear in the air, as if the process we have been going through were, in some degree, vindicative; as if there had been bitter feeling in it and the intention to discredit those who oppose it." "The crash of political organizations has been only the crash of those that did not comprehend, but resisted when there was no right reason for resisting, and forgot that the very reason for being was that they might

serve opinion and the movements of

political practice have collapsed, only those have collapsed which were unsuitable to the objects which they professed to serve. "We are no longer in the temper of attack. We are ready for remedy and adjustment, and begin to see where to begin and in what direction to move. A promise of statesmanship follows a threat of revolution. There can be no mistaking this. Programs are taking the place of philippics; and programs can be soberly examined and assessed, as unqualified criticism and denunciation can not be." "We look beneath the label to the man and his thought. Which ever party proves most fit to conceive and put through a wise progressive program will become the liberal party of the nation. Tories will be welcome to resort to the other and enjoy the privilege of a minority." "What is recessary in order to rectify the whole mass of business of this kind (the trusts) is that those who control it should entirely change their point of view. They are trustees, not masters, of private property, not only because their power is derived from a multitude of men but also because in its investments it affects a multitude of men. It determines the development or decay of communities. It is the means of lifting or depressing the life of the whole country. They must regard themselves as representatives of a public power. There can be no reasonable jealousy of public regulation in such matters, because the opportunities of all men are affected." We fancy that the Tory opposition to the Philadelphia North American and to Woodrow Wilson is quite the same and for the same reason as the opposition to the Richmond Palladium. The reason ought to be plain enough.

INSURANCE AGENTS HOLDING MEETING (National News Association) Buffalo, N. Y., July 17 The National Association of Fire Insurance Agents began its annual convention in Buffalo today with an attendance of several hundred prominent insurance men from all parts of the United States. The sessions will last until Thursday. Today's program included the address of President A. W. Neale, of Cleveland, and the report of the several standing committees. Brutality to Sea Elephant. The whole history of the sea elephant is a record of cruel and wasteful slaughter at the hands of man. One after another its haunts in the bleak islands of the southern ocean have been visited and the beasts relentlessly killed off. For more than a century the w-ork of devastation has gone on. and now the sea elephants of the south are a scattered remnant, whose extermination will only be averted when it ceases to pay to hunt them down. Already this is happening with the walrus in the north. Loudon Graphic "THIS DATE

CANADIAN MASONS HOLD GRAND LODGE (National News Association) St. Catharines, Ont., July 17. St. Catharines extended a hearty welcome today to more than 1,000 prominent representatives of the Masonic fraternity throughout Canada, who are here for the meeting of the Masonic Grand Lodge. The -sessions will continue several days and will be liberally interspersed with features of entertainment. Ruasia'e National Anthem. The Russian national anthem Is the only national hymn which was adopted as such In open competition. Until the time of the Emperor Nicholas 1. the English "God Save the King" had served Russia, but Nicholas determined to institute a genuine and native Russian anthem. He announced a compe tition. open to all musicians, for an original national hymn. A musical committee reduced the thousands of entries to two. and between these, the works of Glinka and L-voff. the czar himself decided. The highly martial character, with the drums and trumpet, of LvofTs composition won the Imperial verdict, and it was decreed as henceforth the Russian national anthem. IN HISTORY"

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye

HER ROMANCE. AH her life since she was fifteen Rose Robinson of St. Louis has been'! a "factory girl." When work is steady, she told a reporter, she makes fG.50 a week. She pays $1 a week for a room and but little more than that for food. Out of her savings she bad accumulated about ten years ago $1,000. which seems marvelous.. Then she put her money in a building and loan association. It failed, and she lost the entire amount. Despite the loss of her bard earned savings, Rose Robinson began again to put money in the savings banks. She now has something more than ?9. Long continned toil at meager wages and pinching economy are nothing new in the annals of labor operatives, and in this respect Rose Robinson is not different from others. She has saved more money than most of such workers, and But listen. "It was my wish as a young woman," she says, "to have a little girl of my own. But it was not meant that my wish should be gratified, for no man has asked me to marry him." Though disappointed and childless, this hardworking woman decided to save her money for "some baby" to be selected after her death by the Christian Missionary society. Listen again. "Whenever I put a dollar away 1 would say to myself, 'There is a pair of shoes for Rosy,' or, 'There's a book i for her. That made it easy, and I was surprised to find how much I could save." That is Rose Robinson's romance. Denied what women most desire, her life has flowered into a sweet devotion to some future "Rosy" whom she will never see. Her friends say she is the happiest woman they know. They say she has a sweet face. No doubt of it. In the face of such a woman there must be winsomeness and the softening lines that come from submission to Providence and devotion to a high purpose. Giving makes her happy. She has given even more than the widow who, as the Master stood over against the treasury, cast In her mite. She has given infinitely more than the rich givers of our modern day. She has given herself! Lo-itioi 0 it Was'.' naydn's "Dictionary of Dates" makes the statement that the old name of the . city of Loudon was written Lynden or Llyudin. meaning "the city on the lake." An old tradition gives us to understand that London was founded by Brute, a descendant of Aeneas, and called New Troy or Troynovant until the time of Lud. who surrounded the town with walls and named it Caer-Lutl. or Lud's Town This latter is probably the correct ver siou of the story, if for no other rea son because It is an easy matter to de tect a similarity between the expres sion Lud's Town and London.

A WEIGHTY REASON. It Told Why On of the Nineteen Com. missions Was Executed. Before a certain gentleman set out for Japan and India his relatives gave him errands. One wanted an Indian shawl, another a silver Buddha, a third a chryselephantine carving, and so on. till the list of commissions was appalling. He agreed, however, to fill them so far as possible. But when he "returned he had executed but one of the nineteen commissions that had been given him. He had brought back only the chryselephantine carving. This he gave to one smiling cousin amid the disappointed looks of the other relatives. Why. the disappointed ones'afked. had he executed that one particular commission and disregarded-: the rest? The traveler smiled. "It happened." he began quietly, "that each of you had written your commission on a sheet of pnper. On the second day of the voyage out I took all these sheets of paper from my notebook, opened them and spread them on my lap as I reclined In nsy steamer chair. "The air was very still at the time, but suddenly a brisk wind sprang up, and every sheet was blown away except that of Cousin tMax. Max's sheet was weighted down with the gold coin he had giveu me to pay for his carving" St. James Gazette.

Missed the Squeak. Some persons like one sort of shoe and some another, but the kind which was desired by Pierre, the French Canadian mill band, has never enjoyed a wide popularity. "Shoes for Sunday." Pierre stated to the young man who advanced to meet him as he eutered the salesroom of the big shoe factory. He then sat heavily down on one of the red plush seats aud allowed the salesman to insert bis feet in a pair of bright yellow shoes-. When they were fairly on. Pierre stood, moved his feet this way and that, took a few steps and. shaking his bead, sat down again. "What's the matter?" asked the clerk. "Do they hurt you? Are they too tight?" Pierre shook his head violently. "She no tight." he said, "but also she no talk. Shoes for Sunday must talk, talk, all the way up in church for to soun' stylish, see?" Youth's Companion. Oil of the Porpoise. The porpoises killed in winter are the fattest, and produce most oil. The largest size measure about seven feet in length, five feet in girth and weigh about 300 pounds. Such a porpoise yields from six to seven gallons of oil. The blubber of a big porpoise weighs about 100 pounds and is one and a half inches thick in summer and two in winter. The jaws of the porpoise yield a superior quality of oil. When hung up in the sun it readily drips away into cans provided for the purpose, the quantity of oil thus procured, however, being not more than half a pint to. the jaw. The oil from the blubber gives an excellent light und is in demand along the coast for lighthouse use. It has no offensive odor. Busy All the Time.

STRENUOUS LIVING. A Long Day In the Life of an English Lady In 1791. As for Industrious idleness, which is held to blame for the wrecking of our nervous systems, it was not unknown to an earlier generation. Mme. lc Brun assures us that la her youth pleasure loving people would leave Brussels early in the morning, travel all day to Paris to hear the opera and travel all night home. "That." she observes as well she may "was considered being fond of the opera." A paragraph in one of Horace Walpole's letters gives us the record of a day and a night in the life of an English lady sixteen hours of "strain" which would put New York to the blush. "I heard the Duchess of Gordon's journal of last Monday," he writes to Miss Berry in the spring ot 1701. "She first went to hear Handel's music in the abbey; she then clamber ed over the benches and went to Hastings trial in the hall, after dinner to the play, then to Lady Lucan's assembly, after that to Kanelagh aud returned to Mrs. Hobert's faro table; pave a ball herself in the evening of that morning, into which she must have got a good way. and set ottf for Scotland the next day. Hercules could not have accomplished a quarter of her labors iu the same space of time." Atlantic Monthly.

A Pretty Poor Portrait. A Chinaman of very high rank had his portrait painted, and wheu it was finished the painter requested him to inquire of the passersby what they thought of it. The other agreed and asked the first comer. "Do you think this portrait like?" "The hat is extremely like," replied the critic. The subject of the portrait asked t similar question of a second stranger, who answered that the clothes seemed to be exactly reproduced. He was about to interrogate a third wben the painter stopped him and said impatiently: "The resemblance of the hat and clothes is of no importance.' Ask this gentleman what he thinks of the face." On being asked this question the stranger hesitated a very long time, but at last he replied: "The beard and hair are first rate." ThacKeray In Franca.
