THE HUMAN TOUCH. This Is the fine story of a woman iwho, by her request, shall be nameless. ' Her one plea is that she be permitted to do good in secret. She is the convict's friend. Her great service was rendered in the days before Warden Tynan of the Colorado penitentiary introduced his humane methods treating prisoners as if they were human beings. This woman lived in Canon City, Where the state prison is located, and she used her opportunity to study the prisoners. She could not see that they were particularly different from other people In most cases. It seemed to her there were persons as bad if not worse on the outside of the walls. The woman wondered why so many of the convicts went from the prison and took up a criminal career and were sent back. She was told that it was almost impossiblefor an ex-convict to make an honest living. Which touched her sympathies. She determined to aid the discharged convicts, helping them, if possible, to adapt themselves to the world Into which they were going. And so Mrs. Jones that is not her name was always on hand when notified that a prisoner was to be released. And she did more than merely to give good advice. She took him to her home. There the convict was given a few days of sheltered freedom before he faced the conditions under which he must take up the thread of his broken life. Mrs. Jones nameless here, bnt whose name is written in the Lamb's Book of life I said she wanted to get the convict-look off the faces of the men, the convict habits broken up, and the fear taken from the eyes that had lived in the presence of the guards. The men ate at the table along with her husband and herself. Her home was their home. By every means she accustomed them to the feeling that they were free humans with a chance. In most Instances -she was success- . ful and thus saved scores of men. It was the human touch. Do you remember when the Nazarene was here that in many cases where he made a cure he touched the person cured? It was the human contact that restored the sufferer as much as the divine power. Somebody sympathized and cared! And so you may form countless societies for the reclamation of the convict in vain unless, somewhere, there Is the touch of personal human sympathy such as this woman gave. Beautiful eyes and handsome face are eloquent commendations; eyes are the windows of a woman's heart. HolUster's Rocky Mountain Tea makes bright eyes, red lips; clears the complexion. 35c, Tea or Tablets. A. G. Luken. Advertisement. SPEED OF A TRAIN. You Can Figure It Out From the Clicks of the Rail Joints. If any reader wishes, when on a long railway Journey, to test the speed at which the train is traveling he might perhaps do worse than follow the method suggested by "Nothing to Do." "We were coming down from London to Holyhead," he says, "and the wheels flying over the rails beat out to my brain the rhythmic tune 'Nothing to do, nothing to do,' as they went over the joints in the rails. 1 took but my watch and with the aid of the second hand counted the number of nothing to do's' .which were beaten out during one-quarter of a minute. I found that twenty-two was the number. Twentytwo by four gave me eighty-eight for one minute. The rails of the L. and N. W. railway are sixty feet . long; therefore 60 by 83 gave me 5.280, which was, of course, the number of feet we were traveling to the minute. Thus I was able to tell my traveling companion, with som degree of accuracy, that at that time we were traveling at a mile a minute. "Any reader can do this. All that is necessary is to find out beforehand the length of the rails and after that to watch your watch." London Answers.

Who Will Take O'Brien's Place? Of late years the Amarican municipalities have experienced a political renaissance, the net result of which has been the general substitution of representative government for the boss system, and many Western and Southern cities have remodeled their system of government completely by adopting a commission system, which is less complicated and permits municipal affairs to be conducted in a more business-like manner. By the restoration of popular government in the majority of the cities of this country more competent men have been called in to conduct municipal affairs and, 3s a whole, there has been a reduction in taxes and more general improvements because the men who have taken the places of the bosses and their grafting henchmen have checked much waste of public funds and reorganized the finances. Richmond is still in the list of "baskward" cities. While the administration of its affairs has never been marked by appreciable corruption and, as a whole, its public servants have been honest and reliable men, public records show that Richmond has not had for years a thorough, business-like administration because the bulk of Its citizens have been lazily indifferent to municipal conditions. They have seldom extended a helping hand to the city officials in the solving of complex questions, vital to the best interests of all the taxpayers, but if these questions have not been settled in a way satisfactory to themselves they have loudly condemned the city officers and have refused to shoulder any of the blame. But Richmond had one citizen different from the rest. A successful business man, who, despite the exactions of his own private interests, found time to give his city the benefit of his trained business services, and when the municipal government came to pitfalls on the always rough financial highway the late Michael J. O'Brien was always there to help guide it safely past. Mr. O'Brien's death last week was a real misfortune to this city. He was a "good citizen" in every respect and he gave his splendid services to the city gladly and without asking in return financial rewards or political recognition. He served a Democratic administration with as much enthusiasm as a Republican administration. Mr. O'Brien began his work of introducing business methods into the management of municipal finances several years ago when called upon to act as a commissioner of the city's sinking fund, and up to the time of his death he kept his guiding hand on the city's finances. He believed a city should be managed with the same business methods as applied to the management of a factory, and with the aid of a few experienced men in the city's service worked industriously at, the task of unraveling the tangled skein of city finances. Love's labor was not lost to Mr. O'Brien for at the time of his death he and Controller McMahan had at least perceived tho defects in our scrambled finances and had pointed out ways and means for relieving conditions, which time and economical, business-like administration will bring to pass. Richmond needs more friends like Mr. O'Brien. There are plenty of men of Mr. O'Brien's calibre in this city. Will they take up the work Death forced him to lay down?

A Good Work Begun.

The movement inaugurated Saturday for the purpose of forming a permanent "good roads" organization, the primary object of which Is to provide better care for the roads in Wayne county, deserves the heartiest encouragement, and it is a pleasure to note that all of those who attended the launching of the movement were men best qualified to make it a success members of the board of county commissioners, township trustees, road supervisors and energetic, public spirited business men. Wayne county, in common with other counties in the state, has for years been paying vast sums for road building but this outlay has been an extravagant waste of public funds because, after the roads have been constructed they have been neglected and in a few years it has been necessary to rebuild them. The construction and maintenance of highways is an industrial art and this work must be done by experts. The average farmer knows little of the science of road building, still the county has intrusted the upkeep of its expensive highways to his care. It Is to be hoped that the next legislature will enact modern road laws, at least creating the office of county highway commissioner, who will have entire supervision of the construction and maintenance of roads. Richmond has a street commissioner. Why cannot the county have a highway commissioner?

THE copy of Francis D. Millet's great painting, "Better," inserted in the Christmas Woman's Home Companion marks the most wonderful art achievement in American magazine making. This reproduction is 22 x 16 inches in size, occupying two full pages of the magazine, and is in the exact colors of the original painting.

It is a fitting tribute to the famous artist, who met death when the Titanic sank, that his great picture is now placed within the reach of every American family.

PIMPLY WELL, DON'T BE!

People Notice It. Drive Them With Olive Tablets. Off A pimply face will not embarass you much longer if you get a package of Dr. Edward's Olive Tablets. The pimples will vanish after you have taken the tablets a few nights. Nothing ever cleansed the blood, the bowers and the liver like Olive Tablets. Olive Tablets are the only successful substitute for calomel they oil the bowels; there's never any sickness or pain after taking them. Olive Tablets do ail that calomel does and just as effectively, but their action is gentle and safe instead of severe and irritating. No one who takes Olive Tablets is ever cursed with a "dark brown taste," a bad breath, a dull, listless, "no good" feling, constipation, torpid liver, bad disposition or pimply face. Olive Tablets are made of pure vegetable compounds mixed with olive oil. Dr. Edmonds spent years among patients afflicted with liver and bowel complaints, and Olive Tablets are the immensely effective result. Try them. Take one nightly for a week. Then look at yourself in the glass and see how you feel. 10c and 25c per box. The Olive Tablet Company, Colum bus, Ohio. (Advertisement) Camembert Cheese. Camembert is the name of a commune, a few houses about a Camembert church In the prefecture Vimoutier and the department of Orne. The cheese got its name from the fact that it originated near there, but there isn't a cheese factory nearer than three miles away now, and not enough people live in Camembert to run one of any size. Caen, the principal Camembert market, is in Calvados. The cheese is carted to the shore and carried across the mouth of the Seine to Haver in boats. It Is made, howver, on the northeastern side of the Seine and from there comes to Haver direct The cheese is shipped unripe ev? n to home markets near at hand in French cities. It is seldom over four weeks old when it leaves the factory and often only two or three. Argonaut. Tho Proof.

Cook Learned the Secret of Their Utility From an Insect. Ransom Cook was little known outride of the village of Saratoga, where he lived, but be gained a small fortune from a carpenter's bit, invented by him, which has been in common use for years. This device has two lips, protruding slightly above the edge and opposite each other. Simplicity itself, but the world never had such a bit until Cook made it and an insect taught him how to do it. Sitting down on a recently felled pine tree one day outside Saratoga, he heard the crunch, crunch of something inside the log. Curious, he Investigated and saw that an Insect of the bettle family was boring into the wood at one end of the prostrate tree. And the hole was lengthwise. Moreover, it was perfectly smooth. Cook bad no bits in his kit that would make such a bole without slivering the interior so that It would be rough. Procuring an ax, he chopped off the end of the log where the Insect had been working, split the section and, capturing the beetle, took it home and examined it under a microscope. Then the secret of the insect's ability to bore smooth horizontal boles in any kind of wood was revealed. The beetle was provided with powerful nippers on either side of its jaws, and they operated in precisely the same manner as do the small blades of the bits which he immediately invented, patented and put on the market "Beetle bits" were the foundation of his fortune.
