TWINKLES

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE. "I guess I'll make a lawyer of Josh," said Farmer Corntossel. "But your wife wants him to be a physician." "Yes. He's got to a professional man and we'd want to show our confidence In him. And I think it would be a heap safer to take Josh's law than his medicine."

ICE.

Now, much surprised and not at all amused, Wo wonder, as we quarrel with the Fates, That such a precious substance e'er was used For idle pastime by a boy on skates.

CONSIDERATE. "Does your wife do anything to help you along?" said the inquisitive man: "Yes, indeedf. She Is saving every cent she can to help get a divorce next fall.

"It 'pears to me," said Uncle Eben, "dat when a man gits me into business on golden rule lines he alius wants to give me de fust move."

GUARDING A TREASURE "I understand that you don't speak to your neighbors." "Not any more than necessary," replied Mr. Groucher. "Of course, they are fine neighbors, but we also have a ne cook and we don't caro to have them get acquainted with her."

UNIMPRESSED. The home folks called him "Old Man ". Blngs Before he started doing things. He met with many a lucky chance And helped to earn a great advance Prom his old state of simple life, Where he ate pastry with his knife And wore a beard to hide the fact That he ' both tie and collor lacked. Both gold and wisdom he has gained And titles fine on him have rained, And he has trod in solemn state The' marble halls where dwell the great. But while the magic of his word The centers of finance has stirred. And he has been the friend of kings, The 'home , folks call him "Old Man Blngs."

This Is My 51st Birthday

CHAUNCEY OLCOTT Chauncey Olcott, the well known actor, Was born in Buffalo, N. Y., July 21, I860. He was christened Chancellor John Olcott, but this name was discarded for "Chauncey" when the bearer adopted the stage as a profession. Though knon to present-day playgoers as a dramatic star, Mr. Olcott In his early career enjoyed a wide reputation as a singer. After finishing his eduactlon in the schools of his native city he made his debut as a professional singer in 1SS0. For several years he remained under the management of the late Richard M. Hooley. Subsequently he appeared with several well known minstrel companies. His experience as a minstrel was followed by several consecutive seasons as a comic opera stare. When abandoned opera It was to appears as a star in Irish musical dramas. In this field he became the recognized successor of the late William J. Scanlan.

PRUDENCE. Men of sense often learn from their enemies. Prudence is the best safeguard. This principle cannot be learned from a friend, but an enemy extorts it immediately. It is from their foes, not their friends, that cities learn the lesson of building high walls and ships of war. And this lesson saves their children, their homes and their properties. Aristophanes.

The Water Works

It is many months since the water works question first came up and at that time the Palladium was net accused of withholding its opinion as to the water works situation. It is for the very reason that months ago the Palladium expressed its opinion bo vigorously that we hare wished to hold back our judgment until very sure of those things wlich we would eventually say. We are sure that we regret little we have said in the past. In the meantime we have thought it best simply to print the full news regarding the waterworks; next, that a summary of the case should be presented to our readers and then clause by clause to take the proposal up in an orderly manner, withholding till the end our final conclusion. As stated elsewhere in the Palladium a column of queries and answers on the water works question will be opened and it is in this way, and only in this way, the Palladit m can get a line on what particular features are not clear forthe gnatest misfortune that could befall the community is for any franchise to le accepted that the people do not thoroughly understand and participate in the making of for otherwise there will be disappointment and, worse, a loss in popular government.

And Then-

The Twelfth street crossing is not a thing which shows its horrible aspect to everyoneand we are glad and sorry that it should be so. For the tracks in themselves are much as other tracks and the dust that covers the crosing is much as other dust and the sunlight that blazes through the day is the same sunligt that falls on the Ninth street in front of our office. The men that pass over the gridiron of the tracks are quite as other men t The horror is not there when you look at it. But some day it will not be a man from out of the city it may be a very prominent citizen in his motor car or a common everyday man with a dinner bucket or an old woman or a little child perhaps yours. And then

Doing Things

The men of Marion called upon the Young Men's Business club of Richmond for help in organizing an effective club in Marion. To the men of Marion there is one thing that needs to be said in explanation, a thing which has been said to the people of Richmond very many times, and that is simply that the reason the Young Men's Business ciub has succeeded in doing things is because of its spirit the idea of getting together. The everyday citizen has always found that his help and advice were appreciated there has been room for every one and always there has necessarily followed the idea of Doing Things.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

MINE DISASTERS From the Philadelphia Ledger. The explosion of gas, with its invariable sequel of after-damp, that took the lives of twenty-one miners at Dubois, emphasizes the value of the need of the researches into the means of preventing such deplorable casualties which the government, through the bureau of minese, has undertaken. While the "mine rescue tournament" to be held in this state two months hence will illustrate methods of bringing speedy relief to the victims of mine disasters, rather than demonstrating how such disasters may be obviated, the work of the bureau is inteded to devise preventive as well as salvatory measures and when the bureau was established by an act of Congress, approved May 16, 1910, it was clearly understood that the resources and energies of the newly organized arme of the Department of the interior would e devoted chiefly to the problems of jrecautionary devices safeguarding the lives of the mine workers.

AN ALASKA COMMISSION NEEDED From the Boston Transcript. Alaska seems destined to be considerably more than Seward's "ice box,'' as it was called at the time when it was acquired from Russia by the United States in 1867. This great territory has not only become a marvelous source of wealth in gold, furs and fisheries, but it has also become a prolific source of scandal and trouble. We are hardly yet done with the sensation regarding the Nome gold discoveries, with their quarrels

between individual prospectors and

corporations, than we are drawn into

a bitted contest on coal. Almost the whole of the Ballinger trouble arose from this controversy over coal deposits which were claimed by various

concerns under various "rights." This difficulty has arisen partly be

cause there never has yet been a sur

ve yof Alaska, and the coal land laws of the United States have not been

definitely extended to Alaska, so that

the whole matter there is in a condi

tion of interminable confusion and

worse.

THACKERY

From the New York Times.,

William Makepeace Thackery was born 10 years ago today. "Vanity Fair," esteemed the greatest of all English novels, and holding its own bravely in spite of changes of taste an dthe shifting vageries of criticism, was published thirty-six years later,

and Thackery died nearly half a cen tury ago. We may observe the semi

centenial of his death, if we care to, two years hence. Men who are still

fairly active in the affairs of the

world can remember "Vanity Fair" as a ne wbook. Its author lived a busy life. As artist, journalist, magazine editor, essayist, versifier and novelist he filled the years, after a youth of

gay irresponsibility, with hard work

Ha Wanted the London Cut. "But, my deah boy, why do you go to this beastly cheap tailor?" "One of my clevah ideahs, old chap My former tailah made my clothes t: so uncommonly well that I couldn look English to save me soul." Oevt land riain Dealer.

Spare Moments. Chancellor D'Aguesseau, observing that his wife always delayed ten or twelve minutes before she came down to dinner and' reluctant to lose so muck time daftly, began the composition of a workwhich he prosecuted only while thus kept waiting. At the end of fifteentyears a book in three quarto volumes wa completed, which ran through three editions and was held la high repute.

NEWS OF THE LABOR WORLD

Nearly twice as many women as men are engaged in the industries of Japan. The printers of Portsmouth, N. H.. hvae formed a hundred per cent organization. The International Railroad Master Blacksmiths' association will hold its annual convention next month in Toledo. The International Iron Moulders' union shows a gross increase in membership for the first quarter of the year of 2,015. The annual convention of the Master Car and Locomotive Painters' association will be held at Atlantic City in September. The San Jose, Cal., Labor council is conducting an aggressive campaign to raise money for the erection of a labor temple. Of a total of 3,733 female wage earners in all industries in Delaware, in 1S00, 851, or 22.8 per cent, were employed in the canning industry. At the recent Potters' convention in Atlantic City it was officially announced that the potters would demand a general advance of wages in the fall. The Actors' Union reports that it has succeeded in signing up every theatrical agency in San Francisco, through the assistance of the local Labor council. A committee of seven has been appointed to revise the constitution of the International Bricklayers' union

and present its report at the International convention, which is to meet next January. So great has been the recent increase in the membership of the San Francisco, Cal.. Typographical union that the organization now has the maximum representation of all unions in the San Francisco Labor council. An active campaign of organization will be started among the laundry workers of Oakland. Cal., where it is said the Asiatics have gained a firm foothold in the laundry business, to the detriment of the white wage earners. The Piano, Organ and Musical Instrument Workers' International union is conducting an energetic campaign to increase its membership by

five thousand prior to October 1, 1911. The union is out for a 65-cent-an-hour wage. The union machinists of New York are winning their fight for the eight hour day. Up to the present time more than sixty New York firms have signed agreements with the unions on the eight-hour basis. The threatened strike of the union teamsters in San Francisco has been' settled and this leaves the teamsters union without a striker in the whole country, among its total membership oof 47.000. A strike of about seven thousand miners in the lignite (brown coal) district of central German is in progress. The chief demand is for a substantial increase of the wage rate, which is the lowest of all mining districts, except in upper Silesia.

HOT-HEATHER DYSPEPSIA It is a well known fact that it is harder to digest cold food than warm food, and as most of the food eaten in hot weather is iced, a great amount of digestive suffering results. It is well to be careful about what you eat in hot weather, (J3El anc not to over-eat Du it s more important rAi n tail?
