Some people are too stingy to pay

Life is bundle Of conditions. ana 4
woman is never happy unless she's I'M
tying a new bundle.
Eve knew what she was about when
she tried to get around Adam the first
time with something to eat.
A woman can win any man if she is
wise and wicked enough and hold any
man if she is witty and weak enough.
Every photographer knows that
women haven't got any conscience by
the way they always have their pic
lures taken in each others clothes.
A woman always claims that she
never gets mad. When she acts
maddest she says she is only "'indig-
nant.'
When woman gives her husband
an easy chair for Christmas it most
always turns out to be the kind that
rests her back most.
1t is probably only natural cussed-
ness that makes woman get up so
much closer than she has to when she
fixes a mans necktie for him.

1t seems to be a generally conceded
fact that the Republican nominee for
Governor to succeed the present in

doubt but that he possesses excellent
qualifications for the g"vern"rShip.
In this connection of discussing his
probable successor il is not inoprur-
tune perhaps to say a word in COM
incubation If the administration GOV.
Powers has given the state. This Is
on all hands conceded to have been
one of the ablest and most satisfac-
tory in the states history. Prior to
his entering upon the ofiiC" Of gov
ernor Mr.. Powers was known as Il
man of decided ability. but his rcputa-
ton in this wise was a comparatively
local one. At the present time. after
four years as chief executive Of tho
State, the eminent ability. the strong
common sense. and the practical wis
dom he has displayed have won him
respect and high communication in all
quarters, and he is recognized as one
of the strongest men in the Stat" in
point Of all round equipment for use

Gov. Powers has i'll truth really
magnifed the office he has held and
elevated il to a higher plane Of
dignity, respect and public importance
by the measure of wisdom and Vigor
he has put into the discharge of his
official duties, and it would certainly
be narrow prejudice and a misjudg
ment Of facts that would attempt 90
deny him this estimate Of what he has
given the public in return for the
honor bestowed upon him.

John Ruskin.

The last Of the great literary lights If
the passing away Of John Ruskin 50
long had H. been in retirement that he
had ceased to be counted among the
living forces in literature and art yet
there was time when his influence
in both Of those spheres was mastcrful
wherever the English language waT
spoken. Whether he discussed the
work Of the painter or architect he was
the greatest Of literary artists. He
lowered SO far above all others in his
field that he must be ranked one of the
greatest Englishmcn of his century.
Ruskin was always original, he al
ways knew his subject. and he had a
Wondrous use Of words. In his life as
in his writings he ever protested
against untruth and the sordidness Of
human thought. He gave away his
own great fortune. No man ever held
higher ideals. or toiled more consis-
tently ana earnestly for them. IT may
BE- that he took 4 step downward when
he went from art to sociology. but his
newer study had more of human inter
est in it. and his nobility of purpos,
was as marked as before. His highest
ambition was to serve his fellowmen.
and while it may be that his superior
refinement. and taste and his auto

A Civil Service Pension.

There is nothing new in the idea of n
pension system in the civil service CT
the government. 1t has been much
discussed. and it is again brought to
the attention Of public and Of Cong ess
by a bill introduced by Congressman
Brosius of Pennsylvania. His scheme
is n simple one, and, at least, cannot
be objected to on the ground that it's
operation will be a drain upon the
public treasury. 1t proposes an or
ganiZation of all employees on the elias
sfied list and the payment by each per
son of per cent of his earnings
toward a common pension fund. Be
ginning with 1904, employees shall be
deemed pensionable, first. if they have
been in the service twenty years and
second. if they have reached the age of
so, have served thirty years and desire
to be retired; and third. compulsory
when they reach the age of 20 years
after thirty-five years in the service.
The pension is to be graded according
to their earnings while in employment
and will amount to IS per cent Of the
average wages received before retire
ment. 1t is further provided that the
government shall have no connection
with the system and no obligation to it.
financial or otherwise. except to au
thorizc and sanction it.
There is something to be said in favor
of pensions for those who have devoted
their life to the service Of the govern
ment But why do not the same
reasons apply to those who work for
railroad company or manufacturing
establishment? The department clerks
are not poorly paid and their hours Of
work are short. Thousands are always
in line waiting for their position.
Though they serve their country. their
service can in no way be compared
with that of those who serve it on the
battlefield. If arguments against a
