WHAT CaN RE nnNE

N There is an Englishman who Is smart enough to be a Yankee. He is a con- tractor. and he got a contract for do- Ing some work in Boston. Knowing that because of the operations of the American protective tariff he could buy American made steel cheaper in Eng land than Americans could buy it at their own doors, he proceeded to take advantage of the fact The English man wrote from England to several American structural iron works asking bids on certain lot of iron. He se- lected the best bid and closed the con- tract. When the contract was properly signed he cabled the American iron manufacturer not to ship to Liverpool, but to ship to Boston,
 Of course one swallow doesn't make a summer, nor does one smart English man prove that the United States isn't smart. We want the greatest good for the greatest number, and infant indus tries like the great steel trust need fos- tering

Heroes nnd Heroes.

We give unstinted praise to the man
 Who is brave enough to die; But the man who struggles untlinchlngly Against the currents of destiny And bears the storm of diversity,
 We pass unnoticed by. We've plaudits and tears for him who
 falls,
 Borne down in the shock of strife; But a word of cheer we neglect to say To him who plods on his dreary way And fights in silence from day to day The unseen battles of life. There's courage, I grant, required to face Grim death on the gory field. There's also courage required to meet Life'S burden and sorrow; to brave defeat; To strive with evil and not retreat: To suffer and not to yield.
 When the spirit longs for rest When the heart is filled with bleak de.
 spair When the weight of trouble, remorse and
 care Seems really greater than we can bear, And death were welcome guest. But we crush it down and we go our way To the duties that lie in wait, From day to day we renew the fight To resist the wrong and to seek the right, To climb at last to the suncrowned height And to climb OCT time and fate. And thus-for my heart goes out to them My need of praise 1 would give To those who struggle life's path along, The host of toll, who are patient, strong, The unrewarded unnumbered throng, Who are brave enough to live.

ANENT THE CHATTING DISH.

The College Girl and the Traveller Ap- preciate the Convenience of the Dish
 and the Lamp.
 | Among the many essentials to a good
 chafing dish none Is more important
 than the lamp, said Mrs. Katherine
 Swan in a recent demonstration lec-
 ture. The perfect flame Is blue, with no
 suggestion of red and yellow, but be- cause of the particles of dust in the air | it Is impossible to obtain this. The | flame should, however, show few red
 and yellow points. The best dish is one | that can be readily cleaned. Innumera- ble dutings and erevices are to be avoid ed. A f1rst-class porcelain lined cook ing pan is most desirable. To be sure that 1t Is not an imitation a reliable make should be selected. It is a kind- ness to the dish to use the oil butter or other fat of the recipe in the cooking pan first and never, under any consid- eration to put the pan over the blaze
 without anything in It.
 If one Is to gain a reputation for
 dainty repasts q set of pretty bowls is
 a requisite. Japanese ware is well

 in great variety of quaint styles. The
 blue and white, plain blue and plain
 green are all effective with proper set
 ting. Russian bowls are liked, espe- cially by people who take their chafing
 dishes with them on journeys. They are light and not breakable Toasters are to be had for the dish. but 1t is possible to do without this fixture if bread daintiy fried in butter is liked, Gas fixtures which fit any dish are one of the innovations and recommend the chafing dish to women who have here tofore refused to use 1t because of the expense of alcohol lighting. Undoubt- edly however, the dish will wear out faster over the gas flame, and there is the inconvenience of having to em- ploy it near the jet. Then, too, the gas pipe is always far from ornamental But the lamps can be replaced readily and the gas arrangement Is a con- venience in many instances.
 If everything Is in readiness before the lamp is lighted. not more than one and a half tablespoonfuls of alcohol should be consumed for one prepara- ton Wood alcohol Is the most econom- ical. For winter traveling especially chafing dish is a great convenience for heating water if there Is no gas In the | room, The college girl, too, finds it | handy for making the little dainties | which she misses from the home table. | For one who is boarding it is indeed a | necessity for afternoon visitors and | evening callers. With the fixture which | comes with the teakettle, the dish is the only utensil needed. The teakettle ! rack fits over the lamp in place of the 1 cooking dish.
 In order to protect the table an as- bestos mat under the tray cloth or sheet of asbestos paer is an essential. 1 The latter can be purchased by the roll

AN EXPERT CHAPTERS OPINION.
Reform Fails Because It Only Works Iuhon an Elanfinn,a in XiaW

Reform" Fails Because It Only Works
 When an Elections in View.
 My knowledge of reform in New York
 was gained some months ago, during a
 ten weeks investigation of the police | and their collusion with protected crime and vice. It was by no meane
 my first introduction to the police de- partment-we have been acquainted | for several years-but 1t was my maid en experience with a reform move ment. My interest in the experience was purely professional one my duty being merely to make a report concern ing certain matters: but it was very instructive to work under the auspices that I did, and a number of new points of view were revealed to me. The same ex-bank robber who helped me later in Philadelphia was also an assis- tant In the investigation in New York. When the investigation was finished we had talk about our finding, and in the course of the conversation I said to him something like this:
 You have looked over the city pret- ty carefully from two absolutely oppo- site sides. You used to know it as an expert thief and burglar, and, as you say, you helped to make 1t crooked and bad. You knew 1t in Tweed's time, when the situation was considered ex- tremely criminal. During the last few weeks you have had a look at it from new point of view-you have been em- ployed by the reform side. Now, tell me frankly what conclusions you have come to, after both experiences, as to the best way to go to work and stop public officials, policemen. etc., from grating. The years when you were known grafter must have given you some ideas on this subject, and our re- cent work together mas probably also suggested things to you"
 The old man hesitated a. moment be- fore replying, and it was evident that he was trying to formulate careful answer He finally spoke as follows:
 "The main thing I find fault with is that reform gets tired out. I've seen 1 lie down and go to sleep in every city in the United States. As rule 1t nev- CT wakes up till just before election time. Mind you, that isn't saying that the fellows that go in for reform ain't on the level I know some Of 'em per- sonally, and they're honest men. But they are all so busy with their own private affairs thnat they amt got any ]

time to fight graft except when there's
 chance of beating the fellows that
 have got the offices.
 My notion of the right way to hurt
 the graft Is that you've got to keep
 hammering away at 1t just as hard be-
 tween elections as when one is on. The
 grafters don't stop grating between
 elections, and why should reform?"
 But 1t Is very difficult to get the
 necessary money with which to fight
 the grafters after the reformers have
 suffered defeat in an election" I re- piled
 That's true, but 1t don't spoil my notion," the old man continued. "A lot of people say; Let the churches, the newspapers, the charitable socie- ties and the priests fight the grafters. It's their job That's all poppycock. Since you and I have been working together have we heard a single gratt- CT show any fear of the churches or the priests? Not on your life. They're afraid of men like Jerome in New York, and that young man called Gib- honey in Philadelphia. Why? Be- cause these fellows get out and fight 'em right in their own hang-outs. If the millionaires of New York and Phil adelphia would give lot of fellows like Jerome and Gibboney enough money to fight the grafters to a standstill, and the grafters knew that he millionaires meant to keep on with the battle, they'd throw up the sponge. I know 1t because you and I have heard them talk during this reform hullaballoo. I hope the reformers will get the offices this fall both in New York and Phila delphia, but I'll bet you fifty dollars that the grafters will have the offices again after the next election comes around, unless somebody shells out money on a big enough scale to scare 'em. Crooked politicians and office holders are like professional thieves they're bold as bulls until they think you're really bold as bulls until they think you're really on their trail, and never get reform to make 'em run far until you stake 1t for keeps the way you stake a national bank. or the Standard Oil company Put money Into 1t regularly the way you put it into bonds and stocks; put wise guys on the track of the officials yot.. think are crooked: punish 'em hard when you've got 'em dead to rights. no matter they're district attorneys or and you'll clean up New York and Philadelphia in a very short time. You'll never clean 'em up, though. just

AN AGREEMENT AT THE LODGE.

l AN ASIREEM FEN Il Al If1E IJD1E Tt is rather hard on a woman tC | have her husband get home at two ol 1 three o'clock in the morning" eaic Hawkins. Hawkins is the Past Crane Imperial Emperor and Potentate of Sill yer Moon Lodge, No. 57,
 I'll tell you what we'll do," he went on. We three chaps will agree, If you say so, when we go home this morning its half after one o'clock now-to dc whatever our respective wives suggest We ought to do something to even things up. What do you say?"
 Elliott, who Is the Plueperfect As- sistant Magnificent Interior Sentinel of No. 57, agreed and Tompkins, although suspicious that Hawkins was putting up job on them, followed his example.
 "The chap who fails to do exactly what his wife suggests or even hints at must buy the supper for the crowd said Hawkins. Are you all in on it?"
 The three pledged their assent over an early morning cocktail.
 SThey met one night less than a week later and Elliott said: Well, Tomp- kins, how did you come out?''
 "All right" said the little man. "The supper isn't on me. It was three o'clock when I got home. I let myself in with my latch key without making the door creak and started up stairs. The house was all in darkness and, you chaps will understand didn't care to make a light.
 T was getting along all right and 1t seemed certain that would get to my room on the third floor without dis turbing a soul, when my foot struck a chair which somebody had carelessly left standing on the stairs. The chair turned over and went rattling and pumping down the stairs. It sounded louder than a dynamite explosion. Of course it woke my wife and everybody else in the house.
 "'Hello,' called Mrs. Tompkins. I suppose that is you Henry?'
 "'Yes, dear I said. It is l.
 "'Well,' she said, It's wonder you wouldn't break the chair all to pieces"
 II remembered our agreement and although l was hard at work finally got that chair broken up. The chair was hardwood and 1t took me a long time to do it, but there was mighty lit- tie left when l got through"
 1T can't say, though, that my wife seemed to appreciate all the trouble was taking in her behalf. But at any rate the supper isn't on me. That's certainly clear"
 And you, Elliott" said Hawkins somewhat sadly.
 I'm all right" said the Magnificent Interior Sentinel. 'I had nearly the same experience. I broke into the house without rousing anybody and was just about to go under the wire an easy winner when I stepped on Mrs. Elliots pet Angora cat.
 "The beast was sleeping curled up on the stairs. One of my fairy gunboats landed on its tail and it expressed it's disgust so loudly that all the sleepers In the block sat up in bed
 "'Thomas,' said Mrs. Elliot.
 "'Yes, dear I answered. I stepped on Clarence. He was sleeping here on the stairs and I was trying to get up to bed without disturbing you
 Well, said Mrs. Elliot, It's won- ter you wouldn't kill the poor dear'

THE PERFFC7 WEEK.

The fact that the golden weather
 continued after the Bicentennial was
 over is rather against the theory that 1t was made especially for Yale, but 1t could, we suppose, be argued that the continuance was only for good meas ure. Be that as 1t may, New Haven has never had such week as last week was But as the Bicentennial was too beautiful to last so the weather that came with 1t and stayed after 1t has been too beautiful to last We can't expect Bicentennials, Sunny Italys and Southern Californias all the time. though goodness knows we deserve them if anybody does. There will soon be rain or snow on the coast, and some much-needed encouragement for the Rubber trust. Those who cannot then find encouragement in the demand for rubbers can find some in looking back ward to New Haven's perfect week, the week when all was just as it should have been, the week when there was so much light and joy and music and good language and goodwill that Heaven didn't seem impossible and to some not very far away.
 Fortunately we have been let down gradually, and when the melancholy days come we shall be in a measure prepared for them and can tighten their gloom by singing with fond re- that beautiful hymn be- ginning Week of all the weeks the best"

\ fl M E IHE FdIs NS,

The Lewiston (Maine) Journal joins those who are advocating the naming of farms. We wish, says the Journal that every farm in Maine would be named This is not mere matter of sentiment, by any means, but 1t is strictly business. The man whose farm is known by some name is certain to take greater interest in its products, and conduct all of his operations on a better plan. On every place there is certain to be some peculiarity that will suggest a name. A spring of pure wa ter, grove of oak or maple trees, or something else of a similar nature, will give it a local flavor, Then paint this name on the end of the barn facing the road. Let it be where every passerby can see it. Your farm will then soon become known far and wide, and will aid you in a thousand ways. Besides, how much more dignifled it is to be spoken of as the proprietor of Oak Grove farm than to be alluded to as Jim Jones' By all means name your farms and 1t will make you all better farmers"
 There is something in this notion. A wen-named farm might tend to make the men on it better farmers, and it would certainly please the women to be able to write letters to their friends on paper with "Windy Knoll" Shady Nook" "Purling Brook" or something of that kind on it.
