Can Won Keen a Secret?

A secret, like an oyster, cannot be kept
too close, for the moment it is opened 1t
ceases to exist.
French philosopher says, "A man is
more faithful to the secrets of another
trary, preserves her own secret better than
that of another"
The explanation given for woman's
proneness to let the cat out of the bag Is
that she Is afraid she might die, and then
there would be no one left to keep it.
None is so fond of secrets as he who
doesn't mean 10 keep them. such person
covets secrets as spendthrift covets money
for the purpose of circulation.
"My dear Murphy" said an 1rishman
to his friend, "why did you betray the Sc
cret l told your"
SIS it bethrayin you call ftp Sure. whin

Secrets are poor property. If you circu-
late them you lose them, and II you Keep
them you lose the interest on the invest
ment.

yelope so carefully, Jilesy"

A Loss to the storelseepers.

Complaint has been made Of outsiders
making purchases in the stationery
rooms at the capitol. 1t is said that SEN
ators and ex-members remaining in
Washington still continue to purchase
their stationery, ETC., at the capitol,
where it is supplied at wholesale rates,
This is great injustice to the trades
men of the city, and it is probable that
the clerk of the house will issue an or
der to prevent all those not entitled to
this privilege from purchasing there. II
is said that only recently the teacher OF
a stenographic school was found to be
purchasing supplies for herself and pu'
pills on the unfounded statement that
she was congressman's clerk. -Ex'

Education and Suicide.

The sad fact that suicide and educa
tion increase at an equal rate Is now
generally admitted. Civilization does
not free humanity from grief, disgrace
and disappointment, but wherever CIV
ilization is highest the struggle for ex-
istence is fiercest, life is most artificial,
and there the most failures OF the hu-
man race are met with. There was
time in Roman history when suicide
was almost epidemic. 1t was when the
great republic had reached It's acme Oh
c;vilization. when poetry, art and elo-
ouence were triumphant. 1t is probable
that the proportion Of suicides due to
mental arrangements is increasing, but
how rapidly can never be exactly deter
mined. Morselli says that about one
third of all suicides may be attributed noss
TO insanity. Robert N. Reeves IN fop'

inst behind followed lit. Engineer Bar
kell stopped his engine, as he found the
tender tipping, and jumped, but the en-
cine itself did not leaye the track and the
tender rested finally at an angle OF 40 de-
prees. Brakeman Joseph Michaels stood
on the fifth car from the engine and for
tunately that car did not tip. Joe was
paralyzed and never made a move till

they fell to allow of the noon train pass
inc and the other was tipped oyer out OF

the rails and the engine taken to TIE

The ears were all loaded, one being a
Mast 4 Karger refrigerator going TO Cal
umet, another a beer car for the same
place and the other two full OF miscel-
laneous merchandise. The train was
pulling off the bridge so slowly that none
OF the cars we're broken with the excep-
ton OF the running gear little. There
is no one to blame for the accident and

And the blue Is on the sea,
And every lark is singing to
His mate in ecstasy

Within the marshy lea,
And auickened saps are blushing through

And the blue is on the sea,
And every bird Is longing for
The nesting time. The bee

And for theei
