POLITICAL GOSSIP.

The November earnings of 104
railroads whose reports have been
presented are more than twenty per
cent. in excess of their November
earnings last year.
The enthusiastic greeting which
the Mexicans are giving to Mr..
Bryan is doubtless very gratifying
to his followers, but some critic may
inquire whether the concentrations
of a people whose grade of intelli-
gence is far below that of the United
States, whose per capita of money
is one third that of our own, and
whose currency system produces a
dollar worth less than one-half of a
similar dollar in this country. add
anything to Mr.. Bryan's standing as
financier.
Our English friends are displaying
great activity in their attacks upon
our new protective tariff measure.
They hail with delight the asser-
tions of their Democratic co-laborers
in the United States that tile new
law is rot producing sufficient rev
enue to meet the running expenses
of the Government and are doing
all in their power TO again "line up
that element in the United States
Which has been driven from it's free
trade by the utter failure of the VIII
son law after three years test.
Rigid economy in public expendi-
lures is the watch-word on the Re
publican side in Congress. This was
the recommendation of President
McKinley's message, and has beer
re-echoed by Chairman Cannon, Of
tue House Appropriation Commit
tee, and Chairman Dingley, of the
Ways and Means Committee, ant
there is the reason to believe thai
the Republican party in the present
Congress will make a recorI of eco
nomy of which members in all parts
of the country will have reason tC
be proud.
The people who were assuming I
few days ago that the new tariff
law would not probably producl
sufficient revenue to meet the run
ming expenses of the Governmen
are beginning to change their minds
The present indications are that tn
December receipts will equal th
December expenditures, and tn
Treasury officials estimate larg
increase in receipts early in the com
ing year. There is every reason t
believe that the new law will pre-
duce a considerable surplus in til
next fiscal year without any add
tional tariff legislation.

marked contrast between the att

A MOTHERS DREAM.
She Saw a Needle in Chi1d's Stomach
and it was Extracted.

She Saw Needle in Child's stomach
and it was Extracted.
The Pembina IN. d. Pioneer-Express
says: ''Among the respected residents of
Pembina are Charles Pullman and wife,
proprietors of the Winchester hotel.
They have son, 6 years old, who, while
playing around the house, fell and was
seized with an intense pain in his stom-
ach. His mother soothed him, and af-
ter some time he went to sleep. On
awakening he was again seized with the
pain, and the mother again quoted him.
She also went to sleep and dreamed that
large needle was protruding from the
little fellows stomach, which she pulled
out, when stream of blood followed.
The dream impressed itself SO forcibly
on her mind, and despite her husbands
protests that it was a mere trick of her
ina ination, she insisted that medical
examination be had. A doctor was
called in, and placing the boy under chic
reform, he made an incision at the spot
where the pain was felt and removed a
needle about two inches long. It was
greatly corroded and evidently had been
in the stomach for long time"

HAS A PITCAIRN BIBLE.
One of These Noted Books is Owned by
Hartford Society.


The Connecticut Historical society has
come into possession of one Of the noted
Pitcairn Bibles, which were brought to
this country from Pitcairn island by Levi
Hayden of the American whaling
ship Cyrus of Nantucket in 1910. There
were two of these Bibles. The second
one will be eventually deposited with the
British Bible society in London.
The two volumes of ancient writ be-
longed originally on the ship Bounty,
which was mutinied in the Pacific ocean
April %, 1889. The mutineers set the
commander, Lieut.. Bligh, with his adj
herents, adrift, and made their way to
Tahiti. There they secured native Wom-
en- and took them as wives to PItcalrn
island, arriving January %, 1880. The
Ici0 was destroyed, and all trace OF the
nutineers was lost for quarter OF
century.
John Adams was the last of the number
and it was due to him that the Pitcairn
Bibles were brought into use. After the
death of all his associates in the mutlny,
Adams hunted up the Bibles that had
been saved from the Bounty and began
to teach the pagan women and the cnil-
dren. When the islanders were finally
discovered by civilized seamen, it was as
certained that all of them spoke the
English language and were believers IN
the Scriptures
In 1889 Levi Hayden of the whaling
ship Cyrus landed on the island with the
ships blacksmith and spent some time
there, engaged in burning a pit OF char
coal. There were 100 persons on the
island at the time. But all of the orig
inal settlers, except Tahitian, the wife OF
Fletcher Christian, who headed the
mutiny on the Bounty, had died. When
Hayden left the island to return to the
Cyrus he received one Of the two Bibles
from John Adams the grandson Of the
mutineer of that name. They were the
Bibles that led to the conversion OF the
island, and were brought to this country
as relics of inestimable value. For years
one of them was in the possession of
President Peletiah PERT of the Amerl-
can Seamen's Friend society of New
York city. The second of the Bibles was
given to Hayden by Mary Christian. the
daughter of the chief mutineer. This
Bible was given, June 6, 1910, to KeV.
Daniel NJ Lord of the Fort Hill Sea-
mems Bethel of Boston. Some years ago
it went to Mrs Eliza Ann Lord of Buff
falo, n. Y. Ultimately it will be de-
posted with the British Bible society.
When the Bibles were presented to
Hayden on Pitcairn island, in 1889, the
givers apologized for the rough and neg
lected appearance which the. two. books
presented, saying that all the children
HAYDEN died in 1885. He was native
of Windsor. in this state, and cousin
of H. Sidney Hayden. It is through the
latter who died in Windsor a few
months ago, that the Bible which was
given to Levi Hayden by John Adams
has now come into the possession OF the
Connecticut Historical society.

alternative of giving up what he has or
never seeing his wife and children again,
it is safe to assume that the strained
matter Of duty" becomes odious, and
the robber gets what he wants.
Let the mail clerk sacrifice his life in
the vain endeavor to save the govern
ment property. What does he get for it ::
Six feet of earth and nameless tomb
stone. What do his wife and children
get for his life? Nothing, unless the
man has an insurance policy, and that
never compensates for the loss of hus,
band and father. The government has
never been known in such cases to pro-

throws his life away for nothing, and his
family does not get a red cent for his
risk.-St. Paul Dispatch, Jan. 8.

FAMILY BREAKFAST.
Not SociabIe Meal, but Should be Made
Pleasant.

Not SociabIe Meal, but Should be Made
Pleasant,
Breakfast. as rule, is not sociable
meal This is no doubt due in part to
the fact that the majority OF those who
seat themselves at the table make no
effort to contribute anything to the cheer
fulness of the occasion. Yet the success
of the day, morally and financially, de-
ponds largely on the state of mind in
which one rises from breakfast. The man
who, surrounded with happy faces, has
eaten leisurely, not disdaining to share in
the pleasant talk going on about him, is
vastly better fortified for the day than
the man who has hurried through the
meal with perhaps no one but the cook
or the butler to bid him good-morning,
or at a table encircled with the moody
faces of those whose remarks tend only
to stir up strife. Breakfast-table bick-
erings will send the best of men out
among his fellows feeling sour and churl-
ish, and make all who come in contact
with him co-sufferers.
The breakfast room ought always to
be the cheerieSt one in the house, and
those who come together at the family
board should make it a religious duty
to come with cheerful faces. If outside
the skies lower and the winds howl,
there is all the more need Of cheerfuIness
within, and though my Lady Late Hours
claims that no one ought to be expected
to be more than half cheerful IN the
early morning, the true altruist will feel
bound to give what he can of sweet
ness and light in this breaking of bread
with his friends. And what worthy ex-
cuse can person who lives nationally
and is in ordinary health have to offer
for being crusty in the morning? How
ever dreary the world may have seemed
the night before, the new day rarely
fails to bring new hope and courage; and
one who has slept fairly well, and
risen in time to give attention to those
twin duties, the morning bath and the
morning devotions, ought surely to be
able to greet the rest of the family with
q smile
One of the essentials for a comfortable
breakfast is punctuality, and this grace
is quite as important in a household
where servants are in attendance as in
one where the housewife is the cook.
There are times, no doubt, when it is the
part of wisdom to make the meal a
movable feast, but as rule it is better
to have a reasonable hour fixed, with
the understanding that all who are able
to come to the table are expected to be
there at the appointed time. In this
regulation exception should of course be
made for invalids, and possibly for Wis

Cost of Making Tapestry.

The cost of weaving tapestries by
hand in France today varies from $500
to $1,000 per square yard, and the pro
duction of tapestry nine feet high and
twelve feet long, if full of figures, is the
work of nine years. This prevents art
arras from becoming the property of
any but the wealthy. But if the museums
of our time expend money more freely
and wisely in the purchase of these
works of art they may become, in the
public galleries of the nations, an in
spiration and a stimulus to national art

A Fortune Lost in a Wreck Turns Up
After Six Years.
Some money, part of 100000 in Bra
lillian paper currency, lost in the wreck
of the steamer Buenos Ayres on the
coast of Brazil, between Pernambuco
and Rio Janeiro, six years ago, has just
turned up in fishing village north of
Oporto in Portugal. The British COM
pany that paid the insurance recently
received an anonymous letter from Port
ugal, which they put in the hands of the
Portuguese police, who have already re-
covered $4,000. The case containing the
money was picked up by Oporto fisher
men, fishing on the Brazil coast, who
divided it among themselves and said
nothing. They vowed to give part of it
to the church and were betrayed for not
keening their VOW.

Couldn't Say the Greed in English

People educated in countries speaking
a language different from that of the
students place of nativity often assert
they were educated, and one of the most
beloved members of the Catholic clergy
in this city tells a story on himself illus
trating this popularity of the mind. "On
my return from a trip to Europe" says
he, II was asked one Sunday to conduct
the religious services aboard the ship.
I knew that many of my auditors were
Protestants, and, in Difference to what
I thought to be their wishes, | conduct
ed a service in English. When tried
to recite the creed, however, I actually
found that l could not say it without
prompting. Practically all my life had
been saying the creed in Latin, and ac-
