Kindly actions begun from sense OF
duty blossom into affection and afford
some of the sweetest pleasures earth
can bestow. Active industry, at first
painful and arduous, unfolds our pow
ers and comes TO be the source of keen
est satisfaction. Purity of thought,
word and deed, sou ght at first from a
knowledge of its righteousness, comes
at last to be the natural air which the
spirit loves to breathe. Thus duty of
every kind, containing within il the
germs of delight and beauty, will, if
cherished, develop the sweetest flowers
anC richest fruits, and the good and the
beautiful thus clasp hands and claim
kinship forever Elk.

A FAKER'S WORK.
Report That English syndicate 10 to Con-
troll silk Business.

troll SILK business.
The following article appeared In the
daily newspapers OF last Sunday credi-
ted as a dispatch from New Haven,
Conn.
Edward Young and w. A. Stanton
of Chicago, sewing silk manufacturers,
are engaged in deal which will close
out every factory manufacturing sew
ing silk in this country to an English
syndicate. The deal has been matur-
ing for a year. Preliminary papers
have just passed, and the Englishmen
are preparing to close the bargain
which will give them an absolute mo-
nopoly of the sewing silk manufacture
OF America. Practically all of the
Bedding mills will pass into their
possession. These include the Bedding
mills OF Rockville, Conn; Of North
ampton, Mass; OF Bedding, Mich. and
San Francisco and of Montreal. Aside
from Messrs. Young and Stanton, the
western capitalists who are interested
ln the scheme are ID. w. Bedding OF
Cincinnati, HI. FL. Belding of Dayton,
o.; George p. Richardson of Belding,
Mich. land John Emery OF Rock Island,
Ill. The price paid will be about 81 $50
900
1t is believed here to be fake pure
and simple. Both resident managers
disclaim any knowledge of such
move, also Mr.. Crooks who happened
to be here from Northampton, Mass.
A move was started some time ago to
form pool OF silk manufacturing in
terests into what is commonly known
as trust, but even that has been at
standstill for some time. 1t is nothing
but the pipedream OF some penny-a-
liner, hard up for news unless we are
very much mistaken.

And thinks we'd better live in town.

And says the little beast is slack?

If ever there were time when we
needed to think of what we can have
without money, it is now. We think
so much about money. We talk so
much about money. We say we can
do nothing without money. That is
not so. We can be saints without
money; we can have peace of conscience,
peace with God, JOY in God, we can
have Heaven without money.-Marga-
ret Bottome in the February Ladies'
Home Journal.
The editor of the Lowell Ledger
voices the sentiment OF all decent self
respecting democrats n saying
''The Ledger has no sympathy with
the scandalous burlesques heaped up
on Vice President Elect Roosevelt by
the Hearst syndicate. We believe the
cartoon serves a legitimate purpose in
campaigns. There are some minds
that cannot grasp an idea SO clearly
But the presidential campaign is over;
the people have spoken. 1t is the duty
of every citizen to respect that decis-
ion and to observe decent loyalty to
the powers that be. The demand for
an anti-cartoon law is the legitimate
result of such venemous attacks as
those OF the Hearst syndicate upon
Governor Roosevelt. Freedom of the
press is all right, but the press should
keep som ewhere near the the bounds
of decency."
The freight car famine, says the Cad
lilac Globe, continues to keep the rail-
road people hustling. The persistence
Of this famine is said by local officials
TO be phenomenal. The car famine in
the busiest year seldom extends past
the first 10 days OF January, but at this
late date there has appeared no pros
poets of a let up in the famine which
started early last fall. The opinion is
quite general that the famine may con-
tinue until the opening OF navigation
n the spring, when with the increased
shipments of grain to Buffalo and the
eastern markets, the railroads in the
central west will be further embarrassed
or freight cars. Quite large number
II coal cars are at this time coming
vest and are being returned loaded
With products for eastern markets. At
east the RAILROADS are assured OF all the |
reight business they can handle for a
period that at present promises to be
Indefinite in length.

The greatest secret Of domestic hap.
piness lies in husband and wife pleas
ing each other. 1t is quite as easy to
say pleasant, graceful things as disa-
greeable ones. 1t is far sweeter for
wife to have tender words from her bus
band than it was to have them before
marriage-husband in the role of lover
has double value in a wife's estima-
ton. 1t pleases woman to know her
husband says pleasant things to her be-
cause he means them and, not battery.
Flattery never pleases her. 1t pleases
her TO be told by him that he needs
her-that his happiness depends upon
her companionship. To feel that her
efforts to please are successful, and are
appreciated accordingly, will stimulate
most women to greater endeavor.-Ex

Trust your fathers judgement of

Moody to girls. "The gay, witty, re-
sponsive young man, who will prob
ably most attract you, will not be the
one who will be likely to have his SER

over your men friends with your
father, and see what healthy, unemo-
tional, sane men standards be will
set up for you. really think that if a
girl could have but one counselor in
her love affairs it would better be her
father than any one else. A mans
mind is great tonic to the somewhat
diluted intellect OF girl in her first
sentimental experiences. Selected.

this direction. The organization, he said.
had taken the place Of the niddleman
and the growers now sold direct to the
wholesaler and the jobber
The Exchange, the witness said, made
no attempt to control production or nix
prices, although the members OF the as
ISOLATION endeayOTed to regulate prices
In no sense, he said, was the organiza-
ton trust In reply to g question from
Representative Livingston, the witness
said the organization had no special ar
raHgement with the transportation com
panies- The two railroads IN California
divided the business between themselves
and parceIed it out among their feed
ers,' the witness declared. 1t was be-
cause OF this fact that the organization
could obtain no special advantages over
other shippers.

ness was in a demorahzed condition, but
now the fruit growers were working in
harmony and the business was prosper
Gus IN answer TO question the witness
said it was not intended by the organiza-
ton to increase prices to the consumer.
With an increase in the production Of
fruit he declared, there was naturally a
fall in prices
About $1,000 car loads Of fruits of all
description were shipped from California
during the year. the witness said. About
