How Wanamaker Gets Even With
the Papers.
New York sun.


John Wmamaker, Postmaster Gen
eral OF the United States, entered hi,
private Office at the National Capital
and smiled Il cherry good morning to
his private secretary.
Taking off his silk hat-one of the
$3.50 lot, corner Chestnut and Null
berry, great bargain-he placed it on
the top peg OF the rack.
Then he removed his overcoat-a
very superior article, to be duplicated
only at Filbert and Cocoanut, second
floor, marked down from $I9O2 to
$17.G3-and placed it carefully on the
peg below.
" How did the morning consign-
ment from the Bureau of Newspaper
Clippings pan out?" asked John
pleasantly.
" First rate, sir" replied the private
secretary, as he spread out on his
desk Il number Of pieces cut from diff
ferent newspapers, varying in length
from three lines to seven or eight
inches. "Therc are 2S of them alto
gcthcr."
Good cnoughr' said the Postmas-
ter General, with a happy little laugh.
" Let us see what their cash value is"
Here are two from the .Sua, re-
ferring to the bargain counter, and
aggregating thirty-four lines.'~
Excellent, excellent rippled Mr..
Wanamaker, rubbing his hands. 81

"A rather long article from Puck,

John inspected the clipping smiling
ly, and then remarked:

"Oh, don't mind the style as long

Deep Breathing from the Lungs.

Not only at this changeablc season
of the year, but in fact at all times,
the mechanism of the human body
should be observed in the preservation
of good health and long life. To this
end one of the most important things
in our physical economy is deep
breathing. In our rapid method OF
life, we often forget the physiological
laws that pertain to health, that pre-
vent disease and keep our physical
functions i'll good healthy order, and
do violence to them. An eminent
physician says that "deep inhalation
is the key to health and beauty"-to
health because it gives the lungs free
and healthy action and prevents dis
order therein, and beauty, because of
the health and vigor it brings. Breath
ing should be governed by the same
rules that govern other correct meth
ods and activities of life. TO breath
in small, feeble draughts. leaves the
lungs sluggish, whence they soon be-
come subject to disease. Rapid and
slight breathing, like II little learn
ing, is dangerous thing; therefore,
one should breath deep, delve deep and
drink deep, if he would be healthy,
profound and refreshed. Learned
scientists say that deep, proper breath
ing produces pure blood.
AS to how deep breathing is done,
an eminent physician in Halls Jour
nal Of Health indicates it thus:
Stand, inhale deeply, fully, COM
pletely. As you do 50, let the waist
expand, and don't be afraid to have
the abdomen protrude. At the last of
the inhalation let (don't make) the
chest expand. Let the air our grad
ually. and repeat the operation five or
ten times. He who thinks he must be
gin inhalation by making the chest
spread, falls into Il serious error, be-
cause this course prevents complete
inhalation. Thirty or forty deep in
halations every morning in rs pure air
as possible, will do more to keep the
circulation OF the blood good, the
blood itself pure, the lungs well and
strong, and the movements OF the Sc
cretions active, then all the medicine
any one can take"
But how can this deep, health-in
spring breathing be done by woman
who unnatuIally girt themselves in
corsets which cramp their waists ant
depress the lungs within their abiding
place? The tailoress made girl has al
she can do to breath at all, much les.
enjoy deep inhalation when she doe
violence to her natural body to gratif,
silly fashion. Be wise. Give tn,
lungs their natural room, and breatl
deep.

A City Without a Government.

The city of Watertown, Wisconsin,
presents the unique example of city
without Il city government. Some
years ago, in fit OF thoughtless gener-
osity, the city voted large amount of
bonds asa 'onus to an incoming rail-
road, an AMOUNT SO large that it
threatened to bankrupt the munich
pality if paid. To avoid paying the
obligations the city officials, except
those of a minor degree, resigned and
left the corporation in an acephalous
condition. Now the officials are elect
ed annually, meet in secret, vote the
appropriation necessary to keep the
municipal machine creased, transact
whatever business is necessary, hand
in their designations, and once more
the Street Commissioner, or some one
of about that same degree is in charge.
The railroad has tried in vain to find
an oihcer on whom to serve q sum-
mons. Detectives have been in the
city hoping to surprise the secret
council meeting, but the interests of
the people are so united as to prevent
a successful coup of that sort. In
fact, instances have been known when
the meeting Was being held in an up
per room of a business block while
the emissaries OF the railroad armed
with formidable legal documents, were
wLtcafully patrolling the sidewalk be-
low. "A public Office is a public
trust" seems to be directly apropos to
the situation. Here are some railroad
bonds that our English cousins might
invest in after buying up all the obli-
cations of the late Confederacy.

A REPUBLICAN, paper in Kansas

A REPUBLICAN paper in Kansas has
recovered its sense long enough to re-
mark:
The Rawlins county farmer refuses TO sell his
corn because he can get only cents bushel for
il. He burns il in preference because coal is
worth 20 cents a bushel. lie also lives in a sod
house because lumber is worth $l5 u thousand. A
little over year ago the Rawlins county farmer
whooped up a big majority for high protective
tariff, which puts tax ON coal and lumber and
lets corn take of itself. Result: Coal, 81
cents; lumber, Sc; corn. cents.

A PUGET Sound paper draws pretty
picture when it says that the time is
not far distant when every hillside in
Washington will be golden and green
and scarlet and purple with fruit, and
the fruit will be spoken of in all Ian
guages that have literature. and
spoken of only in praise. Every orch
ard in the world will be praised as its
productions approach, or condemned
as they fall below, those of Washing
tons fruit forests. Fruit upon our
hills are no longer experimental crops,
and every year the acreage planted in
this profitable, delicious, healthiul
crop increases its extent and ratio.
This year the plant is unprecedented.

Judging from the st. Paul criticisms,

qualities in her roles that gained her
fame and fortune from the lowest ranks
years ago. 1t is unquestionably true
that Miss Morris possesses some kind

still exist to certain extent in some
of the dilletante theater goers. The

THE CALVINISTs FEAST.
A Most Harmonious Meeting Be-

A Most Harmonious Meeting Be-
tween Presbyterians of Minne-
apolis and st. Paul.
A social conventicle of the Presby-
terian Alliance of st. Paul and Mime
apolis took place in the parlors of the
Westminster church last evening, over
800 partaking of the sumptuous banquet
which was served by the ladies of
the church. St. Paul turned out in
full force and was represented
by about 120 people. AS soon
as the banquet was disposed of
DR.. Burrell delivered a short but heart
felt address of welcome. He expressed
his JOY at meeting with the brethren of
st. Paul in few well-chosen words,
and declared that at some time IN the
near future he would expect 800 invita-
ttons to the banquet at st. Paul. Rev.
r. P. Lewis, of st. Paul, followed, re-
plying to the words of welcome which
DR.. Burrell had just spoken. He spoke
OF the good which was to be derived
from such meeting as that, and of the
pleasure which he felt in attending such
gathering. ''Such meetings ought
to strengthen US, in showing US our
own power; and should stimulate
us to aid those who crossed our path.
1t is one of the great faults of the
Presbyterian church that it does not
''go out upon the highways and by
ways' to gather men into the church,
but desires the rich, the learned, the in
telligent, the powerful of the world,
and gives less thought to others. We
have cause to congratulate ourselves
upon that which has been accomplished.
But there is work yet to do, and let us
not fail or be found wanting at the
proper moment"
1.-The Presbyterian Church and Poll
tics" was the topic of the address of
Hon. Thomas Cochran Jr. which fol-
lowed. He dwelt mainly upon the great
men of the world who advocated Cal
vinism, and such people as the Hugue-
notS in France, who rose to such notice
through their belief. If country must
be saved, it must be saved through the
cities. and the cities must be saved
through the churches, and therefore it
deyolved upon the Presbyterians of the
cities to see that the ballot

other yet to be discovered. The Sab
bath must be wrested back from those
who have snatched it away, and the
work of the saloon must be done away
with, and this task is a duty which
the PresbyterIans cannot and
will not shirk. Hon. Ell Tor
renee then gave an address, en-
titled ''The Presbyterian Church
and Public Morals" and was followed
by D. r. Noyes with discourse
upon the relationship of the Presbyteri-
an church and education. The fifth

Motor Tracks.
There was a big crowd of indignant
citizens in the council chamber yester-
pay. 1t wasn't ansordinary everyday
gathering, but the men who occupied
the hard benches in the rear of the
room at rough estimate represented
several millions of dollars worth of
property fronting on First avenue south,
between Grant street and Thirty-tirst
street. They were there to listen to the
proceedings of the special committee of
the council, to which had been referred
the resolution offered by Aid. Grimes,
changing the route of the street
car line from Nicollet avenue to
First avenue south; but the prop
erty owners didn't want the
cars to run in front of their doors, and
they had come to the meeting prepared
to make a vigorous kick against the
proposed change, and several of them
had prepared speeches against it. But
they were not given chance to say a
word, but when the meeting adjourned
every one of the property owners was
satisfied. Aftel Chairman Warren had
stated the object of the meeting, Aid.
Downs was recognized and said: ''Mr.
Chairman, just to get this thing before
the committee in proper shape, | move
that we report it back to the council
with the recommendation that no action
be taken upon it,"
"Seeoud the notion" exclaimed Aid.
Lowell.
In less than a minute the motion was
put and carried, and the committee ad-
journed. Then there were broad smiles
upon the faces of the property owners,
and they shook hands with the alder
men and told them that they had done
perfectly right.
