1t is suspected that there is consid-
cradle politics in Mr.. Clark's recent
adoption of an eight-hour day. He is
in possession of the richest and best
copper mines in the world; mines that
"a be worked at greater profit than any
other. He employs about 700 men
while the manager of the Amalgamated
Copper company, Marcus DAILY, en-
ploys 1000. If DAILY does not follow
suit in the reduction of the working
hours Of his employees, then he must
either face a strike or see his men &c
Heinz is TO- in with Clark and the two
make a team that will keep the best
politicians Of the nation guessing.

Then you sincerely believe in our
retention of the Philippines?" the ad-
miral was asked.
Most assuredly l do" was the
prompt reply. Hat it not been for our
acquisition of those islands it would
not have been possible to have the
fighting force in those waters today
and we would have been ignored in the
deliberations now daily held by the
representatives of the great nations OF
Europe relative to China, the same as
we were of the smaller countries of
South America.

ject as an American citizen but | have

One of these is Vice Admiral Seymour,
who is in personal command of the

going to massacre him. He was with
me when | saw AguinaldO and Sey-
mour advised the Filipino chief to tie

In the making of Cheyenne's beauti-
full park her rich men have been very
liberal. The ~honeysuckle hedge was
contributed by a progressive citizen
with a keen eye for the beautiful, the
fountain was the gift Of another and
the grottos and many of the other nice
things were literally donated. Not on
ly have these things been given for the
benefit of the park, but the donors
have year after year aided in keeping
them in proper shape.

USED SECONDHAND WATER,
How DR.. Emery Saved His House When
His Well was Dry.

How DR.. Emery Saved His House When
His Well Wa, Dry.
DR.. w. L. Emery of Surry, in Maine,
has made an invention for economic
ing water that is used at fires, which
may be adopted with advantage by the
IRE departments in all the big cities.
There lave been many transforms the
past winter, but the water could not
penetrate the frozen ground, and last
week, when DR.. Emery discovered a
fire on the shingles Of his house, he
was confronted with the problem of
putting out the blaze, with no water
in his well and only a half hogshead
OF water on the premises. This had
been hauled from a stream half a mile
away, to supply the household. The
roof of the house had been water
tight until the fire began to eat a hole
in he shingles. There was a timed
gutter at the caves which conducted
the rainfall to a spout at the end of
the house. Under the spout was an
empty h%ogshead tub that had held no
Tater for a week. DR.. Emery took ad-
"a az WllhOul uSlhy.
He carried his ~halfhogshead of preci-
GUS fluid to the roof in pals and pour
ed 1t upon the fire, which took up what
1t could use and allowed the rest to
flow down the shingles and escape to
the tub below the spout. When he
had used up all of the hauled water
he went to work on that which had
leake back from the roof. using 1t
over and over until the fire was extin-
guished. Not more than two pailfuls
were left when the fire was out. DR..
Emery thinks he carried some of the
water to the roof three or four times.
He is very sure his buildings would
have been burned II it had not been
for the tub which caught the overflow.

ing a preacher. 1t seems strange that
a servant girl annot know her place,
and attend properly to che household
duties entrusted to her care, without
neglecting her work to take liberties
with unprotected preachers straying
about the house alone. A girl who will
deliberately take advantage OF an in
~nocent pastor should be utterly taboOed
by the employment agencies and com
PEELED to find her level. A minister of
the gospel, earnestly endeavOring to fol
low out the ramificatiuns of the plan
of salvation, is entitled to be protect
ed in his own house, which is rightfully
his castle: but hired help seem to be
getting so e"mboldened by success that
no divine is safe if his wife happens to
walk out n few moments. 1t is high
time some law was passed, clearly de-
filming the duties Of servants and fix
ing penalties for Over-stepping the
bounds of mUdesty. A preacher has
scarcely any show when once in the
clutches OF a DOlu, pau servant SHl'
who cares little for her " character
and ignores the fact that she is sap
ping the very foundation Of religion
and attacking the bulwarks which have
surrounded the Christian faith for ages,
She should be suppressed. even if it
takes an amendment to the cons:itu-
ton to bring about the necessary re-
form. In a crisis like this the church
needs the strong arm of a great gov
eminent to protect it.-Budget.

NEW SCIENTIFIC PROCESS.
A Preparation Discovered That Will
Destroy the Dandruff Germ.

For some time it has been known
that dandruff is caused by a germ that
digs up the scalp into little white
flakes, and by sapping the vitality of
the hair at the root, cause falling hair,
and. of course, finally badness. For
years there have been all kinds of hair
stimulants and scalp tonics on the
market. but there has been no perma-
nent cur for dandruff until the dis
covery of a preparation called New
pros Herpicide, which destroys the
dandruff germ. Destroy the cause the
effect will cease to exist. Kill the dan
druf germ and you'll have no dandruff.
no itching scalp, no falling hair.

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANK.
Matter to BE Discussed at Teachers In
stitute Next Tuesday.

The practical benefits and valuable
educational features of the school saw
ings bank system in public schools
should he known to every parent and
guardian of children. Please take no.
tice hat wherever the simple system of
taking care of the scholars pennies,
that would otherwise be foolishly ex-
pended for, needless sweets and the like,
is used in the schools, that the children
are happier, more self-reliant and have
better habits. The money the children
deposit through the school savings
banks in public schools is made a val
liable object lesson; they have the re-
ceipt cards and the bank books show
ing its amount. They can check it out,
receive interest on it and learn thereby
initial business methods. Habits of
thrift, industry and self-responsibility
are formed, generosity cultivated,
waste, intemperance and other vices, re
sulting from careless extravaganza
with money and ignorance of its better
uses and accumulative power guarded
against. The school authorities are u.s.
ually glad to adopt this popular branch
of teaching if the patrons Of the school
desire. and no parent can afford to neg
lect asking this helpful instruction for
his child.
The method of conducting school saw
ings banks will be part Of the program
Tuesday afternoon, June 18th, at
the teachers institute. Parents are in
vited to be present.

WHEN A WOMAN WILLS.


socLAi <Asplrations'
People who go about and in society
tell me that when a ardently
desires to make herself one Of the IA
vored few Of the smart set. there is
really nothing she will stop at, and
some Of these same persons have been
telling me this story in illustration
Of what they say. In high officialdom,
says a writer in the Washington Post,
is a little lady, dainty as a spring
crocus, who was a member of The in
ner circle long before she became a
part of oflcialdom. On one of her
last reception days she was chatting
with two cabinet women, when the
servant announced the arrival Of a
woman who is struggling to get into
things as never a social climber strug-
gled before. The hostess knew her
by sight merely, and had never SO
much as had a bowling acquaintance
with her, but official people are used
to seeing strangers at their receptions,
and the lady Of the house bowed with
her usual g~raciousness. The climbers
quick eye took in the situation. She
saw the two cabinet women, and she
knew they say her. She rcse to the
occasion in mastery fashion. my
dear Mrs. Blank" she said gushingly,
c~lasping the hostess hand warmly, 81
was so sorry not 10 have been at home
wher you called on Friday. 1t was so
sweet Of yol to come SO soon, and l
do lope yu II come in very often, in
formally, that way" And before the
hostess had recovered fror; her sur
prise the climber has passed on, well
content, for she had appeared in the
presence Of two cabinet women as the
intimate friend Of a lady who had
never even set foot on her doorsteps.
