Soliciting Business.

If a young man wants to learn
human nature, remarks the Mis-.
souri, Editor, he can find no better
school than that of soliciting sub
scriptions and advertisements for a
newspaper.
Neither the drummer nor the in
surance agent is required to exercise
more skill or to possess keener in
sight into character.
No kind of business demands
more versatility and resource. A
knowledge of business and of men;
patience, tireless energy and great
common sense are indispensable
qualities.
About the only way to get sat-
isfactary solicitor is to grow him.
Take some young man of bright
parts, teach him your business un-
til he is saturated with 1t, and then
turn him loose.
Thorough knowledge of bust
ness and absolute loyalty to it are
essential qualities of a solicitor.
1t is hard to impart these qualities
to a new man. Experience is a
great school, and if he has original
genius for the work exercise will
constantly develop it.
Every newspaper should have a
solicitor. He is indispensable.
The paper cannot be run without
him. But remember he is both
born and made. you find him
cultivate him and keep him. For
he is scarcer than hens teeth.

Luke" they say, listening to the wind.
And then 1 thought of that other story
that Hank Simons told me,-the one
about the mill back of Woodstock caving
in from the freshet and burying the mil
ler's girl. No one dare lift the tlmbers
until Jonathan crawled in. The child was
pinned down between the beams and the
water rose so fast they feared the wreckage
would sweep the mill. Jonathan chung to
stills waistdeep in the torrent, crept under
the floor timbers, and then bracing his
back held the beam until he dragged her
clear. 1t happened a good many years
ago, but Hank always claimed it had bent
Jonathan's back
But after all they are not of the things
l love best to remember of Jonathan.
1t is always the old mans voice, Groom
ing his tuneess song, as he trudges home
in the twilight, his well-filled creel at his
sde,-the good-for- nothing dog in his
arms; or it Is that look of sweet content
ment on his face,-the deep and thought
full eyes, filled with the calm serenity of
his soul. And then the ease and freedom
of his life! Plenty of air and space and
plenty of time to breathe and move! Hay-
ing nothing, possessing all things! No
bonds to guard,-no cares to sti1e,-no
trains to catch,-no appointments to
keep no fashions to follow,-no follies
to shunl Only the old wife and worthless,
lazy dog, and the rod and the creel On
ly the blessed sunshine and fresh, sweet
air, and the cool touch of deep woods.
No, there is no story-only Jonathan.

The Tinplate Iniquity.
LFrom the New York Trlbune. |

What wretched piece of work this tin
plate business is, to be sure! 1t violates
reason, precedent and common sense.
Only a few years ago we were solemnly as
sured, over and over again, by the Very
Superior Persons with whom Wisdom will
surely perish, that there could be no such
thing. Tinplate could not be produced in
the United States. 1t was physical, in
telectual and moral impossibility. There
was something in the climate, or in the
constitution, or in the cuckoo creed that
absolutely forbade it. We hadn't any tin,
and couldn't get it here. If we imported
it from abroad, as Great Britain does, we
wouldn't have any black plates to put it
upon, and couldn't make them here. If
we got them from abroad we couldn't put
the tin upon them. 1t wouldn't stick, or
it would turn yellow, or something or
other. And if we did put it on, and it
stayed put-well, it wouldn't be any good
anyway. The cuckoos said so, and that
settled it.
Yet here is a wicked and perverse treas
ury agent reporting that tinplates are act
ually being made here, in large and yearly
increasing quantities. Not only that, but
he says the black plates are being manu-
featured here, too. The iniquitous work
began as soon as the Mckinley bill put a
tariff on tinplates, and has been growing
steadily ever since. In the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1895, we are gravely told,
120, 1927, $40 pounds of tinplate and 70, 473,
124 pounds of terneplate were manufact-
ured here; total of 1913, 801 ,073 pounds,
and an increase of 80 per centum over the
product of the preceding year. FOrty-eight
firms, doubtless all pestiferous patriots if
not downright Jingoes, were engaged in the
scandalous enterprise. Moreover, 1851
40 pounds of black plates were produced,
an increase of S7t per centum. They were
rolled in American mills from ingots of
American-made steel, procured from Amer
lean mines, and Is American firms partici-
pated in the vile job!
We cannot imagine anything more
shocking than that. 1t is so very bad, in
deed, that we are persuaded it cannot be
real. II must be an invention of the enemy.
1t cannot be that a single pound of tin
plate or of black plates has ever been pro
duced in this country.

The Smithsonian Money.

Arkansas will try again in the next Con-
gress to secure approval of a scheme to
wash off the Smithson steal, which is now
written down TO the states discredit. When
James Smthson, the Englishman, be-
aueathed 100000 to the government of
the United States in 1929 to found the
Smithsonian institute, the money was in
vested by the government in bonds of the
state of Arkansas, these securities making
the best bid for the money. The bonds
were practically repudiated, the state new
er paying any interest on them or return
ing the principal, and the amount now due
the government from Arkansas on this &C
count must reach nearly S2,000,0O0. Nor
does the state ever intend to pay it. But
it has cOntrived plan to save its reputa-
tion-has gathered up lot of old, rejected
swamp land claims against the govern
ment, under an act of Congress dating
back before the war, and asks that these
claims be made set-off TO the Smithson
debt. The last Congress refused to pass
bill granting this absurd demand, but it
will be pressed again in the next Congress
and the Arkansans say they will succeed.
1t will not matter much any way. The
shameful Sm:thson swindle will never be
righted by the state. Thus it came about
that the money to establish the Smithson-
| ian institute was contributed by the Unit
ed States government, which could do no
more than make good the bequest it had
| permitted Arkansas to steal.-SprinUtetd

A slight Mistake.

"There never was nicer man than Col.
Jones" remarked the old gentleman on the
hotel piazza to a group of his fellow Viz
ginians. "He was as gentle as a woman
and as soft as silk, with SLY little way OF
getting at things that was perfectly ire
sistibe His first born, whom he always
called Jimmie" was a great favorite of
his father and was not unlike him in many
respects; and the old gentleman humored
him every way until Jimmie took a notion
to get married. He was only Is and his
father objected on account of his youth.
Jimmie argued day after day with his
father, but the old man stood him out, and
finally the boy investigated the family BIZ
BILE and after some manipulation he
changed the dates and made himself two
years older by the record. Then he went
after his father again.
"'But, my boy said the colonel insist
emily, Il tell you it must not be until you
are older have no other objection, and
it will be all right if you will only wait
GLOW long must waltz asked Jimmie
guielessly.
"'Well, say until you are 20
"'Why, father said Jimmie exultantly,
q am that old now.
"'Oh, no, my boy, you are only 49,
"'But tell you l am 20

"'You'll believe the Bible, won't you?
always repeated the colonel rever-
emily, though there was a twinkle in his
| eye.
"'Then I'll show you that am 90 and
| James went after the record and brought
it back in triumph. There he said,
spreading it on his fathers knees, look
for yourself
"The colonel took out his glasses, care
fully wiped them, put them on deliberate
ly and consulted the page before him.
"'What do you say to that" questioned
the boy eagerly.
cts all right, Jimmie, it's all right
by the figures he responded in tone of
sadness.
"'Then | may get married"
"'Yes, Jimmie almost sobbed the col
onel, but this is a sad day for your pa
rents
"'Why, father sit isn't so bad as al
that. I'm going to live right by you wher
I'm married.
"'It isn't that, Jimmie; it isn't that,
sighed the father, it's the record in the
sacred book. Look at the date of you
birth, and then turn back to the pag
where the marriages are recorded and Yol
will find that the date of your parents
marriage is more than year later thai
your first birthday. That's what hurt
me, Jimmie and the colonel buried hi
face in his handkerchief.
"Jimmie's countenance showed that h
had put his foot in it. He watched hi
, father for a minute and then he broke OF
laughing.
"'That's all right, pop, he said, IAN
I'll wait till I'm 81 or 81, if you say so

To the hurtful influence of tropic, malarious or

baneful effects of unwholesOme diet and bad

self seeking seems to be excluded. Is he,
indeed, what he apparently considers him
self to be? Or is he merely laboring under
decisions, due to some form of insanity
On the other hand, excluding the theory
that his power is divine, shall we say that
he only does what all men might do If
their natures were purified from the dross
of materialism? Or is the whole thing
passing phase of credulity built upon the
inherent weakness and fickleness of the

to be forgotten along with so many similar

Common Sense on the TarlT Question.

An ideal tariff would be one which
should provide for the necessary expenses
of the government, and be levied so as to
sufficiently protect all of our industries re-
quiring such protection. The Wilson act
is misft. 1t is neither fish nor flesh. 1t
satisfies no school of economies. Nobody
has a good word for this ugly duckling,
unless, perhaps, Mr.. German of Maryland.
The government needs additional revenue,
and, for political reasons, it is not likely
that Congress will increase the internal
revenue tax. Under such circumstances
an increase of customs duties is indicated,
and, being for revenue purposes, nobody
outside an arrant free trader can show
cause for protesting against this increase.
Since the Democrats have always contend
ed for a tariff for revenue it would be
neither unorthodox nor inconsistent for
them to propose or to agree to an increase
of tariff duties when Congress meets, to
take care of the deficiency occasioned by
the existing law.
But they wont do it, just the same.

A Des MOlnes Man Claims TO Have Dis
covered a Lost Art.

Des Moines, Iowa, has a modern Tubal
Cain, in the person of A. X. Dawson, who
claims to have discovered the lost art of
making Damascus STEEL" He has eX-
hibited in Chicago some samples of cutlery
made from the metal, which had an edge
keener and smoother than steel razor.
This was demonstrated by a microscope
and photography The new metal is
combination of copper and tin and two
other elements which Mr.. Dawson keeps
secret. A dagger made from it looks like
polished gold. Mr.. Dawson claims to be
iineal descendent of Ralph Hogge, who
cast the first iron cannon made in Eng
land, and his ancestors on both his faith
er's and mothers sides have been workers
in iron and steel. He says his discovery
is partly accident, but primarily the reward
of years of labor, research and experiment.
He claims that the new steel or hardened
copper is suitable for any kind of cutlery
from a common pocket knife to the most
delicate surgical instrument, and that no
deleterious oxide (rusD forms on it undth

What is the Secret
From the N. Y. Tribune. |

The unique scenes that have been wit
messed in Denver during the last few weeks,
when so many thousands have stood pa
tiently in line waiting to be healed, can on
" be explained by admitting that Schlatter

ordinary people. What is it and whence
does he derive it? He takes no money
for his cures, and therefore the theory OF
