Philosophic readers OF the daily
news are continually reminded that
woman is not actually but only nomi-
nally excluded from participation in
the Government.
Instance the case OF William P.
Crawford, of Chester, s. c., applicant
for second lieutenant's commission
in the regular army. He has good
record of war service in the volunteer
army, and would have no trouble
about it except for-the woman in the
case.
Miss Charlotte Douglass, also OF
Chester, s. c., is her name. She AYERS
that this warrior bold" before he
event g.yly to the war" laid siege to
her heart and captured it so complete
ly that to please him she named the
happy day. but that though the day
ca me he came not. In short, he put
upon her the objectionable humilia-
ton OF being deserted almost at the
altar.
Chester, s. G. is up in arms for the
lady, and Senator McLaurin has been
forced by public sentiment to siren.
uously object to the Commissioning
of Miss Douglass's fsithless lover.
President Roosevelt, moved by the
Senator'S pleadings, has asked Secre-
tary Root to investigate the case.
Meanwhile the commission is held up.
Thus Venus NEEDLES with the busi-
ness of Mars, and woman, barred from
the ballot box, shares nevertheless in
the government of man.

A bright 14-year.old boy, Ralph B.
Cobb, Of River Forrest. ILL.,, has the
distinction of having something novel
and adventurous in the way of a real
house, all of his own, up in the tree
tops. Ralph wanted "a house in a
tree" and so his grandfather and
father built one for him, and in this
unusual and lofty abode, the boy may
be said to live practically most Of the
warm weather.
The treetop house which is neatly
painted to match the Cobb residence,
is shaded by the large boughs of the
two big trees which support it, and is
neatly papered inside with posters and
colored pictures. Electric light bulbs,
Japanese lanterns, flags and any mum.

seats add to the air Of comfort. Out
side are the wires of the telegraphic
service, by means of which Ralph and
his comrade, Arthur Jurgens, exchange
telegraphic communications, and the
arrangements necessary for the con-
trolling OF the railroad semaphores
placed on the edge of the sidewalk be-
low. Ralph's 9-year-old sister Stella,
and her girlish comrade, the 9-year-
old sister of Arthur Jurgens, find the
treetop house . most delightful place
to play in, and picnics, parties and all
manner of treetop diversions are en-
joyed, with the assistance of the tree
top house, by nearly all the children
OF the neighb orheod. Older members
and friends of the Cobb family are by
no means averse to making pleasant
use of the treetop house also upon oc-
casion. Mr.. Cobb, Ralph's father, de-
clares that it is a delightful place to
sleep in.

WATER-ORINKINC.
Declared to Be Beneficial to the Health in
Various Ways.

OSSsoISo " OS OSuSItCi0I " tuS uSobIu u
Various Ways.
Youths Companion.
When it is considered that the
body is made up very largely of water
it can readily be understood how i'm
portant to health is constant supply
of this fluid. Many people have a no.
ton that the drinking Of water in any
amount beyond that actually neces-
sary to quench thirst is injurious, and
acting on this behalf they endeavor
to drink as little as possible. The
notion, however, is wide of the truth.
Drinking freely of pure water is a
most ehicacious means not only of
preserving health. but often of restor-
ing it when failing.
All the tissues of the body need
water, and water in abundance is
necessary also for the proper per-
formance of every vital function.
Cleanliness of the tissues within the
body is as necessary to health and
comfort as cleanliness Of the skin, and
water tends to insure the one as
truly as it does the other. 1t dissolves
the waste material, which would
otherwise collect in the body, and re.
moves it in the various excretions.
These waste materials are often ac-
tual poisons, and many a headache,
many rheumatic pains and aches,
many sleepless nights and listless
days, and many attacks of the blues"
are due solely to the circulation in
the blood or deposit in the tissues of
these waste materials, which cannot
be got rid of because of an insufficient
supply of water.
Water is accused of making fat, and
people with tendency to corpulence
avoid it for that reason. But it is not
strictly true. 1t does undoubtedly
often increase the weight, but it does
so because it improves the digestion,
and therefore more of the food eaten
is utilized and turned into fat and
flesh. But excessive fat, which we
call corpulence, is not sign of health,
but of faulty digestion and assimila.
ton, and systematic water drinking is
often employed as a means of reducing
the superflous fat--which it some
times does with astonishing rapidity.

Some boys. when they come into school
(And some girls, too)

That this is what they do:
They wiggle,
And jiggle;
They hang their heads,
And giggle;
They twitter.
And litter;
They bounce and Hounce
And filter.
Whatever thoughts their minds may fill,
They've no idea of keeping still.
Some boys, when they take up their books
(And some girls, too!
weep to be obliged to say
That this is what they do:
They batter them,
They latter them.
They crumple, rumple,
Scatter them;
They scrawl them,
They m aul them;
They snatch and pull
And haul them.
1t makes me very sad to state
A school books is a wretched fate.

Mayors Private Secretary Is Again
Disturbed by Burglars.

If present conditions continue the
mayors private secretary, Thomas
Brown Jr, will have to apply to his hon
or for a bodyguard. He seems to be
marked man for burglars.
A short time ago some unknown per-
sons attempted to asSassinate him, I'M
doubtedly for his money, as no one would
ever threaten his life for any other rea-
son, and last Wednesday night as he was
enjoying his favorite perfecto in the
quiet of his home, and feeding his mind
on food that would enable him to get
out the next issue of the News Letter,
he was aroused from his lethargic state
by hearing the click of key which was
being inserted in the kitchen door.
His good wife, who had retired for the
night was also aroused by the unusual
noise, and FASTENED into the room to
notify her husband of the occurrence,
fearing that he might not have heard
it. But brave Tom was thoroughly
aroused, and babe her go to rest and
keep out of dangers way.
Tom then seized his truSty siX-shooter,
and in loud voice announced his inten-
ton of making sieve of any whom he
might ind treSpaSSlng amongst his pre-
served fruits that were stored in the
pantry. The noise he made descending
the stairs must have frightened the
burglars away. for when he arrived at
the scene of their proposed depredations
the room was vacant, and on going to
the door he discovered two dark figures
making tracks across the back lot.
He did not shoot, however, fearing that
his aim might not be true, and some in
nocent victim would bite the dust, hit
by the bullet that was intended for an

strenuous times for one to be incum-
bered with too much wealth, and he has
made a public announcement asking Ell
burglars to please take notice that his
SilVerWare is each night carefully hidden
where it requires the assistance of a
search warrant to locate it in the morn
ing, and his money is always securely
locked in the safety deposit vaults.

thousand, gathered outside the building

their cries of viva Palma made it i'm

The police were unable to dispense this

A riot was avoided only by the arrival Of

mostly negeres, paraded the streets all
night long, cheering for Tomas Estrada

and trying to overcome the effects of the

INCREASE STEEL OUTPUT
BIG TRUST Is PLANNING A LOT OF
IMPROVEMENTS.

PITTSBURG, Dec 12-Some extensive
improvements and engagements of the
various plants of the United States Steel
corporation have just been decided upon
by the advisory board of the big steel
combination. The most important action
OF the board was decision to largely IN J.
crease the steel producing capacity Of
the corporation, as the output of finished
material is far in advance of that of the
Bessemer converters and open hearth
plants. 1t is estimated that the monthly
output can be increased thousands of
tons by adopting the Mcneil process at
all the open hearth plants of the COM
pany. The American Tinplate company
will also in the near future install ma
chinery for the rolling of black plate for
tin mills that will be largely automatic.
