CAMELS IN A RAGE.
When Roused These Usually Pationt Animals Fight Like Fury. ' The usually patient and submissive camel, tike the proverbial worm, will sometimes resent an overdose of abuse. Too dense to think of a way in which be can outwit his driver and so take him unawares, when roused to the pitch of fury he rushes at the tyrant open mouthed, and his formidable teeth and powerful jaws do serious damage. Of this vlndictlveness the camel driver Is aware and of the certainty that sootier or later tbe camel will seek revenue. Accordingly It is customary for tbe person who fear his malice to throw his clothes before the camel., meanwhile hiding himself until the animal's fury has been expended In tossing and tramping on them, when the injury, real or supposed, is at once - forgotten. Tln cumel will not Identify himself with his driver or rider in The smallest way whatever, fie steadily declines all advances, nis eye never lights up with love or even interest at the approach of his master. Should you attempt to pat or caress him he will object In a vtry decided manner. Good treatment or bad makes no difference to the camel. Life and it9 hard conditions are taken for granted. Ills view of thtugs Is far too .Serious. He Is so absorbed and preoccnled that he has no time to waste In the gambols Indulged In by all other young animals. Harper's Weekly.
A PLEASANT MEETING. It Is Nice to Find a Friend Who Scatters Sunshine. ! don't like people who are always coming to me for sympathy." "They do get tiresome, but I prefer them to tbe ones who come boasting of their successes and trying to make me dissatisfied with my lot" -Oh, I don't mind that kind. They never worry me any. 1 am always so successful myself that 1 never have cause to envy them. And. speaking of success. I made $500 last week in a little real estate deal, and my boy has been making a great record in school. He's, away ahead of all the other boys of his age, and my wife has a maid now who Is the best girl we have' ever been able to find the best one In oar neighborhood, in fact How Is your boy doing now! I heard some time ago that he was Inclined to be rather wild." "Please don't mention him. I'm afraid he Is going to bring sorrow upon us. You always were lucky. I guess I'll have to lose the tittle borne I've been paying on daring tbe past eight years, all on tbe boy's account My wife has had to quit keeping help, although her health Is very poof and "Well, goodby. I've got to be going. Cheer up. What's the use of being grumpy? Look at me. You'll find, if you try it, that it pays to scatter ann--"K Chicago Record-Herald. .
A Party Crisis.
Tomorrow the Republican party in Wayne county will be confronted with the gravest crisis in its history, which has been a continuous record of triumphs for over fifty years. Today the shell of this old party in Wayne county still stands. Tomorrow, with the resignations of County Chairman Will Robbins, Secretary Howard Brooks and of nearly one-half the members of the central committee the shell will collapse. Mr. Robbins, Mr. Brooks and the other members of the central committee who are to bid farewell to the party they have served so efficiently, have placed patriotism and principles above party loyalty. They have heard and answered the call of the Bull Moose. Mr. Robbins and his associates who are to resign are setting a worthy example to the voters of Wayne county. They have been honored with positions of trust in the Republican party have been made officers in its service but they are to turn in their commissions and step into the ranks of the Progressive party without any blare of trumpets, because their consciences cannot sanction the Chicago larceny and because the party they have served no longer stands for the ideals and principles they stand for. The action these men are to take Saturday means excommunication from the Taft-Penrose-Guggenheim-Crane political organization, but they have courted this ban.
What of Wilson?
Woodrow Wilson in his address accepting the Democratic presidential nomination sings loudly the praises of progressive measures. He pledges himself to be their ever-alert champion, all of which is very fine, but the American people regretfully recall the fact that a brief four years ago William Howard Taft sang the same song. In this day of political unrest actions speak louder than words to the American' people. "Show Me" is their motto. Mr. Taft has been unable to "show ' and is out of the race before he has fairly started. Mr. Roosevelt during the seven years he was the incumbent of the White House proved beyond all shadow of doubt his sincerity and trustworthiness and has been marked "O. K." by the voters. Woodrow W'ilson is now being appraised with scrupulous care by the voters in all sections of the country. He is not well known to them. The pledges and promises he has made are pleasing to the ear, but the people are asking "does he mean what he says?" They will pay more attention to what Mr. Wilson does from now on than to what he says, and right now there are thousands trying to reconcile the Democratic candidate's fervent pledges with the too frequent- visits of Tammany politicians to the "Little White House" at Seagirt. The Indianapolis Star sagely remarks today: "Great organizations like Tammany hall do not get busy on their end of an undertaking until they know what the party of the second part is to do for them. They are too canny to go in on any arrangement contemplating that they shall elect Mr. Wilson, for example, and then he will tell them to go to thunder. What these visits of Democratic bosses to Seagirt at Gov. Wilson's instance signify is as yet unexplained; but the answer, when it comes, will go far to offset his appeal to Progressive voters."
Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.
The News Confused.
The Connersville News is somewhat bewildered over the position taken by Wilfred Jessup in the present political situation. The News recalls Jessup as a "dry" leader and gasps its astonishment at the spectacle of seeing him lead in the anti-county option fight at the Republican state convention. Then the News wonders at Mr. Jessup's presence in the Republican convention after he has publicly stated he intended to vote the national Democratic ticket. The News is also amused over Mr. Jessup's declaration that he intends to support the Republican state ticket and that he is an advocate of the initiative and referendum, slyly pointing out in its editorial that these principles are not to be found in the G. O. P. platform.
Illuminating. While touring abroad a certain citizen of New York found this item in a list of police regulations posted up on a highway in Ireland: "Until further notice every vehicle must carry a light when darkness begins. Darkness begins when the lights are lit." Saturday Evening Post
The Family Orchard. "Conld I interest you in our orange grove proposition?" "Nope: 1 have already put all my money into a fruit orchard. "Wiiere?" "On my wife's hat." Houston Post
Next Best Thing. "Yes; I have Just doue Europe." "Can you give me a list of hotels to go to?" "No; the best 1 can do Is to give you a list of hotels to keep away from." Louisville Courier-Journal.
Hardness of heart Is a dreadful quality, but it Is doubtful whether in tbe long run It works more damage than softness of head. Roosevelt
The Humming Bird Flower. Alletedo avasisis, the wonderful so called "humming bird flower" of the plains of eastern Turkey, stands unique and alone among the many specimens of floral mimicry that have been classified by modern botanists. It is a beautiful blossom of variegated hues, the total length of the entire flower being about one and three-quurter inches. As one might imagine from its name, it is an exact image of a miniature hum
ming bird. The breast is green, the ' wings deep rose color, the throat yel-1 low and the head and beak almost pure J
black. The only particular in which it Is not a perfect bird is that the stem gives it the appearance of having but a single leg and foot
THE FACES OF THE DEAD. That was a touching story I read the other day about a father who years ago lost his son, an only child twelve years of age. When a longing for a look at the boy's absent face comes over the man he stands by the schoolhouse gate and watches the face of every child. He does not hope to see the face he looks for; but cheered by the composite face of young boyhood, he takes up his work again. Pathetic? Aye. And there's a teaching in it. In the picture gallery of almost every soul there Is framed some face which tbe mind's eye sees but dimly, the years are so thick a veil between! But Betimes, when the noises of the world are still and memory Is quick to do Its offices, almost we see them once again the faces of our loved and lost. Ah, the faces! Mostly do we see them in our dreams. There is no artist can retouch the faded pictures like the artist of kindly sleep. And how changed are the faces of our dead! Once they were pale, worn faces when one day we dropped upon them our bitter tears. And, lo, the dream faces are beauteous and smiling, as if they beheld some work of love begun, some deed of kindness done. The faces of the dead! We seek to find their counterpart in the faces of tbe living. The dead would have it so. They would be remembered.
Aye, they would be remembered, but In that remembrance, were they to speak their dearest wish, there would be the consecration of the memory to the higher good of those who live. And therefore, as we go chastened to our daily task by the remembrance of our dend, we shall find strength and hopefulness In the way and the world be thus made better. Think you not all boyhood is made dearer to that father because he finds In the boyish faces recollection of the face of his boy? The faces of the dead! Who of us wonld bring the look of anguish to those faces fashioned so strangely like our own? Therefore. O son of man, whoever you may be. be very careful lest when you distort the face or torture the heart of the living you come face to face with the sacred features of your dead!

FROM CONSUMPTION The makers of Eckman's Alterative, which is doing so much good for Consumptives, are continually in receipt of really wonderful reports of recoveries brought about solely through the use of this medicine. Here is one specimen: 421 Second Ave., Aurora. 111. "Gentlemen: Pardon me for not writing sooner, but I wanted to see if I would stay cured. I can now truthfully say I am perfectly well. Since a child of two years I have been ailing with lung trouble, which grew worse as I grew older. At the age of fourteen the doctor said if I could not be sent South, I would surely die of Consumption. I will answer all letters sent to me, asking a history of my case, from any one suffering from lung trouble." (Signed Affidavit) ETTA PLATH. Three years later reports still well.

Dut the probable weather she will have tor her outings. In selecting one of these flat traveling clocks make sure of an eight day movement.
An Adroit Duke.
The Duke of Grammont was the most adroit and witty courtier of his day. He entered one day the closet of Cardinal Mazarin without being announced. His eminence was amusing himBelf by Jumping against the wall. To surprise a prime minister in so boyish an occupation was dangerous. A less skillful courtier might have stammered excuses and retired. The duke entered briskly and cried, "I'll bet you 100 crowns that I jump higher than your eminence!" and the duke and cardinal began to jump for their lives. Grammont took care to jump a few inches lower than the cardinal and was six mouths afterward marshal of Fiance.
The next convention of the Western Federation of Miners will be held at Hancock. Mich. The shops act passed by Parliament In London, secures to the clerks a weekly half-holiday. A law has been passed tn Danmark under which the government makes loans to farm laborers who desire to become small farmers. The International Miners' Congress, just closed In Amsterdam adopted a resolution in favor of the principle that five days' work is sufficient for a week's work of miners. Philadelphia has $5 cigar factories, employing 6,411 persons. Fifteen hundred and eighty-three of these, or practically twenty-live per cent, are children under 16 years. The total number of men employed in the coal mines of the United States in 1911 was 722,322, of which 172.5S5 worked in the mines of the anthracite region of the State of Pennsylvania. The Master Builders' Association of New York declares that while women will be admitted to its trade schools soon to be opened, they will attend only to learn the business side of building work. There is to be opened in Cincinnati a co-operative club for working girls. They are to be given rooms at the cost of SI a week, while their meals will cost 35 cents a day. It is to be a "real home" and no pro its. A new profession has been taken up by women In the South American cities. On the trolley cars, even In the busier streets, the female conductor has long been an important factor in
the rapid transit situation of these cities. There are one million children under the age of sixteen years employed in Industries in the United States, la addition to another million in agriculture, only a part of horn are working on the farm to help their parents. The telephone girls of Springfield. Mass.. have organlted a union with 250 members. They mill affiliate ith the American Federation of Labor. Officials of the telephone company say they are not opposed to the move, but mill treat union and non-union operators alike. Ameilcan women employed In factories are far more generously paid for their work than their sisters employed in similar vocations tn European factories, according to reports made to the Department of Commerce and Labor by United States Consuls stationed In various European cities. Germany, Great Britain. Austria. Italy and France have for some time recognized the importance of making a thorough study of industrial diseases. The result has been that by & system of the most careful inspection and by the elimination of defective methods and dangerous machinery general efficiency has been materially Increased and the percentage of industrial diseases reduced. In this country California. Connecticut, Illinois, New York. Michigan and Wisconsin have already passed laws requiring physicians to make reports on certain specified occupational diseases.
