Scarcely less welcome than the
supplies that the relief expedi-
, tion will convey to the crews of
the icebound whaling feet in the
Arctic will be the letters from
loved ones which are to be taken
northward by the revenue cut
ter Bear. These missives-sever-
! al hundred in number which
were collected by 1.-The Call"
were shipped to Seattle by ex-
press yesterday. There they will
be delivered to Captain Tuttle of
the Bear and, il fortune favors
the expedition, he Will soon
have the pleasure of distributing
them among the hardy officers
{ and seamen for whom they are
,, intended. Naturally the first
questions asked by the ice-im-

Take Care of the Feet.

Walking heats and fatigues the feet.
standing causes them to swell, while
the pointed toe and the high heel of
some of the fashionable boots that are
now worn absolutely cripple them, and
in these conditions attentions should be
paid to the best means of relieving the
fatigue experienced by these long suf-
fering members. The best thing Of all
would be the universal adoption of the
footgear constructed on hygienic .prin-
ciples, not with a sole tapering toward
the toe, but broadcast at the base of the
toes, and continuing broader or even
wider at the tip; but fashion has de-
clared that boots with pointed toes are
to be worn, and worn they will be. For
these, then, relief is to be found in
bathing the feet in hot water, and two
hot footbaths a week and a little pedi-
curing will soon remove the cause of
much discomfort and fatigue. A
warm bath with a small quantity of sea
salt in it is almost as restful as a nan.
Paddle in the water until it cools dry
with a rough towel, put on fresh socks
or stockings, and the relief will soon be
felt. Spirit baths are used by profess
sional dancers, acrobatss and pedes-
TRANS to keep the feet in condition.

A Beautiful Thought.

Michael Minot French preacher,
who died in Paris in 1913, was noted for
his eccentricities in the pulpit and the
rapidity with which he changed from
humor to pathos; from commonplace
to the beautiful. "There was once pill
tories for swearers," he said, on a Ger
tain occasion, "but if the law were en-
forced now two-thirds of the empire
would be in the stocks, and there would
be the child of five years and the dotard
of eighty, who has only two teeth re-
naming to fling out an OATH Changing
suddenly to denounce those who me-
elected the aged parents who had cher
ished them in prosperity, he said, See
the trees flourish and recover their
leaves; it is their root that has pro-
duced all; but when the branches are
loaded with flowers and fruits they
yield nothing to the root. This is an
image of those children who prefer
their own amusement and to game
away their own fortunes than to give
to their old parents the care which they
want

from the trees, and the man fell to
the ground and lay there. The team
ster stood without moving, still hold
ing his hands up, not knowing whether
it was friend or foe that he had to
deal with. Farmer Peale walked up to
him f1om among the trees.

The young man promised to be
there on the minute the next day. and
ne was. The inquest on the two men
took just twenty minutes from start
to finish. Unsuitable homicide was
the verdict rendered. Then all hands
took drink. Peale gave the coroner
$50 to pay for burying the men, and
the proceedings were closed.

"I think Farmer Peale's traits of
action that saw the first part of in
Virginia City in 1862. He was dealing
faro in his own place, when a young
fellow, teamster, just arrived with
a freighting outfit from across the
plains, came in and began to play. He
had greenhorn's luck and won right
along from the first until from a $40
investment at the start he had $500 in
chips stacked upon the table before
him Then he asked Peale to cash his
chips. The lookout and some Of the
hangers-on about the house began to
young fellows quitting the game rs
soon as he had made a winning, and
said that he ought to press his luck
or at least give the house a chance to
win back it's money. Peale stopped
their talking quickly.
The young man has perfect
right to quit the game if he sees fit
he said, and counted out the money and
passed it to him.
1.-THE teamster put the money into
an inner pocket Of his shirt, sauntered
up to the bar, asked the crowd to
drink, and then started for his camp.
AS he went out two men who had
been watching his lucky play followed
him. They were both hard characters
and were more than once suspected OF.
having been concerned in hold-ups and
stage robbery. Farmer Peale noted
their movement and signaled with his
eye to one of his employees to come to
him. sza3

said, while I go out for a byeath Of
fresh air.
What happened afterward learned

he had an uncommon fashion of AL
lowing his opponent to have the first
SHOT, and then plugging him before he
could hre a second. This may have
come from the deliberation with which
he aimed, for when the other man
missed, as most always he did, Farmer
Peale didn't, and the fight ended with
funeral that wasn't his.
Il was there when he killed Much
ach, bad little Mexican, who quarrel
ed with him at the faro table. It was
agreed between them that, not to dis
turb the game, they should go out on
the street to settle their difficulty. AS

Importance of Regular Living.

question has lately arisen as to the
increase or the reverse in nervous dis
eases, some arguing that the cause of
the supposed increase in such nervous
diseases lies in the increased demand
made by the conditions of modern life
upon the brain. It is quite true that
the conditions of life are very different
nowadays to what they were few
years ago. We now live in a high pres
sure age, and in one Of keen COMPETE
ton, when greater effort is needed in
full position, when the brain is always
working, and there is constant tension.
Such conditions, it will be perfectly OBJ
viOus to all, are not favorable to dim
mutton Of nervous diseases, but rather
the reverse. At the same time it can
not be denied that the comforts of life
have increased; we have better sani-
tation, cleaner houses, and fresher air.
There can be no question that men Of
regular habits are healthier, happier.

obey caprice and impulse. The adop-
ton of hygienic habits saves the ner-
vous system an enormous amount of
friction and waste. It preserves vital
ity. Regularity economies not only

tails of his life, who exhausts nature

is the one who must sooner or later fall
a victim to disease. Regularity and
moderation in all things should be the
motto of life, and it should be remem-
bered that regularity does not necessar-
lily preclude the enjoyment of variety.
A certain amount of variety prevents
man from becoming a mere machine.
but variety should not interfere with
those regular habits of life which are
necessary to the maintenance Of
health. .l

Bad Law and Bad Sense in This

Dealing editorially with the recent
decision of Philadelphia judge, which
practically declared that under any and
all circumstances the bicycle, as the
lighter vehicle, should give way to all
others, the Baltimore News has this to
say: 'The general principle laid down
was that the lighter vehicle should
make way for the heavier. This is in
itself quite a righteous principle. but
it's application is questionable. The
cart was within the street car tracks.
going in direction opposite to the
cars. That is, it was on the wrong side
of the street, where it had no right To
be. The bicycle was also on the street
car track going in the direction in
which the cars were going. That is. it
was on the right side Of the street.
where it had a perfect right to be. It
is a principle in law ethics as old as
civilized courts that one must himself
be blameless before he can accuse an
other of doing him wrong. The prin-
ciple that the lighter vehicle should
give way to the heavier could give the
HooVAol veulc1e 10 I4SuI TO break the
law by going on the wrong side of the
street, and then claim right of way over
a vehicle which was exercising it's clear
legal rights. The rule could only an
ply where the rights of the vehicle to
the positions which they held were
otherwise equal. It may be earnestly.
hoped by wheelmen that this decision
Of Judge Wilson will promptly be de-
clared by higher court to be what it
is, bad law bad Justice and bad common
sense" 4.

Get Hearing.
Already quite number of congress-
men have introduced bills for the erec-,
ton of public buildings in their dis
trlcts, says the Washington Post It
mas been pretty hard shedding for this
class OF legislation for the last two,
years, and the outlook for the futures
is not more favorable. If the barriers
still continue the position of the men,
bers will be very much like that Of
Congressman Jim Mckenzie from Ken
lucky few sessions ago. He had in,
troduced bill for public building at
OWensboro, the principal town in his
district, but had made very little prog
ress.. His numerous promises to his
constituents were on the point of 60
Ing to smash and his unfortunate pre-
dlcament gave his rivals a splendid
chance to advance their own interests.
So one day, in his dire extremity, Mr..
Mckenzie arose and addressed the
chair.
For what purpose does the gen
tleman rise?" inquired the cautious
speaker.
ION a matter of the highest privil-
ege,' was the reply.
1.-THE gentleman will state it," said
the speaker.
rs not the right of a member to his
seat a question of highest privilege?"
persisted Mr.. Mckenzie. ...
Most assuredly," was the response.
Wel,' said the Kentucky congress-
man, Il introduced some time ago a
Dill to erect federal court house and
postoftice at Greensboro, in my district.
That bill was considered in the COM
mittee, and has been reported back to
the house and is now on the calendar.
Mr.. Speaker exclaimed the distressed
member with great earnestness, II ask
that the bill be now taken from the CAL
endar and passed, for if it is not I am
sure that the member from the second
district Of Kentucky will lose his
seat.''
The house, which had listened to the
first part of Mr. McKenzie's remarks
with absorbing interest, now reared
with laughter. When the demonstra-
ton subsidized the speaker mildly OBJ
served that the privilege was not one Of
that peculiar character which deman,1-
ed recognition, and Mr.. Mckenzie sat
down. But his premonition was cor
rect. He lost his seat, though MI.
Cleveland sent him as minister to
Peru.
