President Wilson, of Princeton, in his recent baccalaureate address, said: “The equipment of civilization in our ttatelead~Uß inttr supposing that this is an age gross and material beyond precedent, more debauched by greed or intoxicated by power than any that has gone before it. It is not. Though its spiritual impulses and conceptions do not run so exclusively along the old and hallowed ways of religion as in days gone by, the spirit of man has waxed strong in our ' time, as hie hand, and has given itself to works as mighty and as influential.” Commenting on this, the Chicago Chronicle observes: A person can give no surer indication of imbecility than by uttering hysterical lamentations that the desire for wealth is greater, the means of acquiring it more reckless and the uses to which it is put more material and groveling in our day than in the past. It ought to be evident on the slightest reflection that the progress of civilization, the development of law and the improvement in the arte of life would negative all these pessimistic assertions. For a strong contrast between the past and the present one has only to read the oration of Cicero against Verres. Where were there ever greater greed of wealth and more diabolical and arbitrary methods of acquiring it than he pictures? For illustration of the uses to which wealth was put in that — age let anyone read the story of Lucullus, and contemplate the expenditure of fabulous sums of money on a single orgy, euphemistically called a banquet, lengthened out for dayu by the use of emetics. Let him consider the saturnalia of licentiousness, the physical sloth and the mental vacuity in which the wealthy people of that age spent their lives. Money-making has now been confined within systems of , >** law: .b.y which the poorest man can hold the richest to account. There may be dishonesty but there cannot be spoliation. Wealthy people as a general thing lead retired and abstemious lives, comparatively free from self-indulgence or ostentation. Their wealth is not lavished on mock-ing-birds’ tongues, but on the encouragement of art, on works of charity and institutions of learning. Latterly some men of great wealth have even developed a sort of mania for giving it all back to the mass of mankind. Notice to the Public. As executrix of the estate of my father, W. A. Dailey, I have sold the good will of my father’s business to M. B. Slick and Harvey J. Curtis, who will continue the business at the old place under the flrm name of Slick & Curtis. These gentlemen are both graduates of the University of Michigan law school, are thoroughly capable and reliable men and come here highly recommended by the prominent citizens of their respective homes. I trust that the old customers of my father will continue their business relations with the new flrm. Minnie Dailey Roberts. Fine line of Oxfords, Fedoras and slippers at Devery Bros.’

SLAUGHTER OF TRAMPS. thousands of Them Killed by the Railroads Every Year. The days of the professional tramps are numbered. Now that practically all of the railroads have combined against them and have resolved that the war is to be waged without ceasing, : the roaming thieves, beggars and criminals will have to make their journeys on foot. This they will never do, except under compulsion. Moreover, If it becomes possible to steal rides from one part of the country to another, much of the glamour which induces so many foolish youngsters to go on the road will have been removed. Already the effect of the war begun by the railroads Is becoming apparent in the larger cities, to which the tramps are flocking in great numbers. But such cities as New York are also joining the combination against the roving gentry and arrests are being made in numbers never equalled before. The criminal element are being given severe sentences in prison; the professional beggars are being put at work on the jail stone piles Instead of being released with instructions to “move on.” The small element of honest men searching for work are put in the way of getting employment, while the irresponsible among the number are turned over to the charitable institutions. When all of the cities take this sensible action, in conjunction with the jrallroads, the tramp nuisance will be a thing of the past ■ In this connection the‘TOfements made by Chief of Police Bradley, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, are of interest. He says that during the three years from 1899 to 1902 on the 2,000 miles of that railroad west of Pittsburg there were killed no less than 1,909 tramps, while 461 suffered major injuries. This makes practically an average of one tramp killed In three years on each mile of railroad. If the samo proportion applies to the entire 182,000 miles of railroad in the United States it would mean that about 60,000 tramps are killed each year by the railroads. It Is ha?'d to' believe that the fatalities amount to anywhere near such prodigious numbers, although one must admit that the slaughter is great and that the killing of a tramp along a railroad track is something which few people outside the Immediate neighborhood ever hear of. Race Suicide in Public Schools. “Our school children work more hours than the laboring man or the city official,” said Mrs. John 11/ Judge, of Kentucky, before the Society for Political Study in New York. “School burdens are crushing out existence. We are trying to cram matter into the children that is of no earthly use to them. The three royal ‘R’s’ are lost and forgotten. The education that produced our great men has been swept aside. Books and education have become a disease. Give the children a little rest and a little rust” Signs of Real Prosperity. There is no such thing as real prosperity" In this country when the general public is short of surplus money. There is no abatement of real prosperity when the general public goes on making money and saving some of it. The speculative gambler maj' he rolling in wealth or he may be absolutely pov-erty-stricken. and neither the one condition nor the other reflects the situation of the general pubic and the country. Something that does, unfailingly and emphatically, is the total of the savings banks deposits—the surplus wealth of the general public. The Koreans use neither bedsteads nor chairs. PRACTICAL TIPS. Salt rubbed on the black spots on dishes will remove then? Don’t stand brooms on their broom end, but upside down in the corner. A pinch of soda stirred into milk that is to be boiled will keep it from curdling. To keep tins bright, wash well with strong hot soda and water; when dry, polish with a cloth and a little powdered whiting. Before boiling milk rinse out the saucepan with a little hot water; it will prevent the milk sticking to the bottom of the pan. To make silk that has been washed look like new put a teaspoonful of methylated spirits- to a pint in the rinsing water and iron while damp. A little soda put into the water in which dried beans are soaked will expedite the process wonderfully without influenciug the flavor of the beans. Parsley may be kept fresh and a good color for several days if put into a covered earthen jar in a cool place; it will last much longer than if kept in water. ITEMS OF INTEREST. In China, when an inferior person on horseback meets a superior, he dismounts and waits until the latter has passed. Vaccination must be performed three times, according to French law. During the first year, in the eleventh year, and lastly in the twenty-fourth year. Snakes have no eyelids at all, and birds no true eyelids. The latter are, however, provided with a membrane which can be let down over the eye. A mechanic in Crewe, England, was so fond of his sweetheart that he tattooed a likeness of her face on his arm. Unfortunately, he used a copying ink pencil, blood poisoning resulted, and he died. The Jarvis Street Baptist Church, in Toronto, Ontario, is peculiar in one respect, doing what, perhaps, is done by no other church in the world. Although exempt from taxation, it insists on paying taxes every year. She Tried Five Doctors. Mrs. Frances L. Sales, of Missouri Valley, la., writes “I have been afflicted with kidney trouble five years: had severe pains in my back and a frequent desire to urinate. When riding 1 experienced much pain over the region of the kidney. I tried five physicians without benefiit and then concluded to try Foley’s Kidney Cure. After taking three 81.00 bottles I was completely cured. B. E. Williams. A household necessity. Dr. Thomas’ Electric Oil heals burns, cute, wounds of any sort; cures sore throat, croup, catarrh, asthma: never fails. Foley's Kidney Cure makes kidneys and bladder right.
