Take Only Half What YOu Think You
Will Need on Your Journey.

Take only half the clothing that you

the older gown, and lounge in it until

stewardess. Some travellers try to
dress for dinner, and carry steamer
trunk filled with silk waists and fancy
neckwear, but for an eight-tlay journey
this is poor taste and a lot of trouble
Others have the small trunk in the

He was accordingly committed for
trial at the next assizes.
The incident which served to convict
him was the forged certificate. He could
assign no reason for the forgery, and
therefore the jury had no option but to
conclude that the man who had admin
istered to the deceased the subtle poison
which caused his death was his nephew,
the man who stood in the dock.
Sentence was passed accordingly, and
on the night before his execution he
sent for the chaplain and made full
confession.

OUR NATURALIZEO CITIZENS.
The Obligations Are Not All on One
Side.

An alien who renounces allegiance to
his own country and becomes a natur-
allied citizen of the United States is
accorded the same rights and privi-
lcges as a native-born citizen. 1t is the
established policy of our government
to give him the same protection as the
native American citizen.
In repeated instances the govern
ment has affirmed and maintained the
exemption of such naturalized aliens
from compulsory military service in the
land of their birth and from all treat
ment inconsistent with their position
as American citizens.
But the obligations of citizenship are
not all on one side. The government
owes duty to its native-born citizens,
but these citizens also owe duty to
the government. They cannot claim
the privileges of citizenship without ac-
cepting its responsibilities.
The same principle holds with ref
erence to naturalized citizens. There
has been considerable discussion of late
as to the duty of the government to-
ward such citizens; but perhaps not
enough consideration of the duties
which they owe to the government.
There are few matters about which
Americans are more sensitive than the
proper protection of American citizens
abroad. The national sentiment would
sustain the most extreme measures if
the rights of American citizens were
seriously menaced. But the very digni-
ty and value which public sentiment
attaches to American citizenship con-
stitute a reason why it should not be
allowed to be degraded
American citizenship should not be
used as a cover for carrying out unlaw-
full purposes. When aliens come here
to secure naturalization papers, and
soon return to their own country to
violate the laws or to commit treason
able acts, claiming the protection of the
United States as soon as they get into
trouble, their American citizenship is
clearly a sham.
Viewed in any reasonable light tho
conduct of such men must be held to
work forfeiture of their right to
pTOtecllOn by tne oliteu OtdteS. 1t
has been repeatedly affirmed by our
state department that the naturaliza-
ton laws contemplate the residence in
this country of naturalized citizens,
unless they go abroad for temporary
purposes; and that by residing for IL
long period in another country they
may forfeit all claim to protection as
American citizens.
Abuses of naturalization privileges
have become so common that special at
tention is given to the subject in the
new consular regulations of the state
| department. These regulations enjoin
upon consuls special scrutiny in the
| case of aliens who obtain naturaliZa-
ton in this country with no intention
of permanent residence, but solely to
return to their native countries and
| there to evade or violate their obliga-
| tions as citizens. 'To allow such pre-
tensions" the regulations forcibly af-
firm, would be to tolerate fraud on
both governments, enabling the man to
enjoy the advantages of two nationali-
ties and escape the duties and burdens
of each.-Youth's Companion.

Hon. William j. Bryan expressed
himself as follows regarding the ac-
ton of Congress in placing $50, ,O00, :
600 at the disposal of the President
for naval defense:
Il am glad the House acted prom
pity and unanimously. In fact, it
might have been better to have made
it hundred millions, to snow the
world that Congress and the Amer
lean people, without regard to polit-
ical differences, are ready to support
the Administration in any action ne
cessary for the protection of the
honor and welfare OF the nation.
Mr.. Bryan does not think the ap-
preparation necessarily means war,
but believes the prompt outlay at
this time may lessen the probability
of war and in the end prove wise
economy. He praised Consul Gen
eral Lee for his courage antsrliscre'

SMALL ILLS.
The Power to Endure Them May BE
Cultivated.

The Power to Endure Them May Be
Cultivated.
1t is often easier to bear great sor-
now than to endure small ills and re-
main of even, sweet disposition. The
old simile that drops of waterwear into
the solid rock is certainly an apt one
1t is easy to steel ones nerves and fight
fravely fortune that is adverse if there
is chance of an honorable victory. The
bravest knight, however, may be over
come by gnats.
1t is the misfortune of women to be
more delicate in their nervous structure
than men, and to be more often the VIC
tins of petty annoyances such as rasp
the nerves and temper. 1t is peculiarly
woman's duty to attend to minutiae.
Housekeeping demands strict attention
to small things. If the housekeeper has
trouble in her work it is petty matter
to talk of 1t comes from the petulance
of servants, the failure of the yeast
perhaps to rise, or the stupidity of some
one who has left the oven door open and
upset all her plans for dinner. Some
one, perhaps, has carelessly stopped the
plumbing, and large bill is incurred
from this source, which makes it i'm
possible for her to buy much-needed
winter bonnet for herself, or new coats
for the children. The matters essential
to health come first, and at any cost the
water pipes must be repaired
1t is just such petty things as we have
named which wear woman's patience
out and sometimes make the middle
aged woman hopeless scold or a nerv-
GUS invalid, when she should be placid,
even-tempered, happy woman. The
power TO endure small ills, however,
can be cultivated 1t is an easy matter
at the beginning of life to look upon
things philosophically and check the
frown or hasty word which rises to the
lips. If a mother would only remember
that her whole future happiness de-
pends upon the restraint she exercises
on such occasions il would save her
More than her own happiness, the hap
piness of her own children and that OF
all who love her depend upon it. 1t is
an effort that she must make at what
|
and self-repression grows upon one who
practices it. Finally it become secont
nature to speak gentle word instead o.
fretful one when an annoying blum
der occurs. A word fitly spoken with
out temper will do more to prevent an
other blunder than all the sharp ut
terances of anger.
Unhappy fretfulness also grows witt
the indulgence in the habit unit
the person becomes an unbearable com
panion and sometimes drives all he
friends from her. This vice is by n
means limited to women. We hav
known men who We're chronic scold

Honest Convictions.

The surest and safest recommendation
to the good will of people whose friend
ship and confidence are worth having
is straightforward and steadfast 10y
atty to faith and principle. Even the
most uncompromising bigot, If not alb
solutely a fool, is capable of appreciat-
ing the merit and value of such fidelity
to honest convictions, and is compelled
to respect the motives and admire the
courage of the man whose course is
so directed. Nothing is ever perma-
nently lost by answering allegiance
to honor and right, but ultimate failure
is inevitable where strict adherence to
these standards is rashly sacrificed
through motives of expediency. These
are simple but essential truths which
every young man who hopes to succeed
must build firmly and squarely into the
foundation upon which his character and
future are destined to rest. - Detroit

why cats Fall on Their Feet.


Why does a cat always fall on it's feet?
This is a question that has recently
absorbed the earnest attention of the
French Academy of Sciences. The
problem is clearly difficult one, for
that learned body of savants has so far
failed to offer final solution. M.
Marcy, distinguished professor who
has made a special study of animal
movements, claims that the body of
cat is composed of two parts, one OF
which acts as pivot for the other.
Upon dropping, the cat, it appears,
paws upward, and then by series of
convulsive movements, it gradually
rights itself and reaches the ground in
al upright position. The whole
process of turning is accomplished be-
fore the animal has fallen a yard.
Without a fulcrum, without something
to lean against the cat certainly could
not accomplish the feat. NJ. Marcy
declares that the animals limbs act
upon a fulcrum which its own body pro-
vides.-Detroit Free Press.
