The farmers of the whole country

nate and wasteful use of the public
funds in connection with the SO called
river and harbor appropriation bills
While a certain per cent of this an.

proper enough and in the interests Of
all the people, there is still q large
margin appropriated ostensibly for the
dredging of impossible waterways and
the Improvement of catboat harbors.
which&is in reality a diversion of pub.
lie money as a reward for congressional
support for the legitimate objects of
such appropriations. These worse than
wasted funds should be directed to.

tions of the country, the conservation
and economic distribution of surplus

Girls Should Cultivate Courage.
In her 'Talks With Girls" In Wom-
ans Home Companion Ada @. Sweet
gives the following excellent advice to
nervous women and to girls who be-
lieve that to pretend to fear is femi-
nine virtue:
Without courage fine, high charac-
ter is impossible. Girls need to cult
vate this magnificent virtue. To be
afraid of nothing is enviable. 1t is too
much the custom to excuse girls for
cowardice, which is the lowest form of
selfish fear. Yet it is not uncommon to
hear a girl say, L am an abject cow
ard
This confession should be rebuked,
but out Of Difference to custom we
only smile when we hear it from girls
or women. A boy or man is ashamed
of yielding to fear He conceals his
weakness if he is afraid, and in con-
cealing it half cures it, for he is obliged
to battle with his abject love of self in
order to keep the respect of the people
around him. In the end he asserts his
own power and ceases to be ruled by
fear.
NERVOUS, impressionable girls should
cease to SANDER themselves by an
nouncing that they are towards. 1t is
dangerous to play with vital sources
of character. The girl who thinks OF
says, ooh, should be frightened out
of my wits by fire! 1 should throw
myself out of the first window ETC.,
will, it is more than likely, do some
thing foolish should fire occur where
she is. The girl who thinks and says
that in case of fire she will first of all
strive to keep her mind steady and
then do all she can practically and
quickly for others and herself, will
probably turn out genuine heroine
when her time of trial comes.
ITO assume voluntarily the attitude
of a helpless weakling is dangerous.
Habits of mind, of Imagination, be-
come fixed, as do those of the body.
Anyway, don't boast Of any of your
weaknesses. Courage can be cultivat-
ed if one has determined will"

NEW YORK STATE BUILDING.

on arrival In the city was to be driven
to the grounds of the Exposition. The
remark quoted above was addressed to
Chairman John N. Scatcherd Of the
executive committee Of the Exposition
who had told Senator Depew of the
progress made in the building of the
Exposition when they had met in Eu-
rope last summer. Mr.. Scatcherd had
dwelt long and eloquently upon the
success which had attended the organi-
cation and construction Of the EXPOSE
ton, and "Our Chauncey's" expecta-
tons were high. Nevertheless antici
pations are not equal to realization.
Looking upon the scene before shkna
from the sight of the grand Triumphal
Bridge, he saw to his right the stately
proportions of the United States Gov
eminent buildings, to the left, across
the spacious Esplanade, the charming
architectural effects of the Graphic
Arts, Horticultural and Mines build
ings, while the vast Machinery and
Transportation building, now almost
complete, was seen In the background
to the left. Opposite it, across the
Court of Fountains, was the Manufac-
lures and Liberal Arts building, and
the Electric Tower could be seen ris-
ing .skyward in the distance at the far
end of the vast court, with the towers
and minarets of other buildings out
lined against the horizon. AS Mr.. De-
pew took In this impressive scene the
exclamation burst from his lips that
the half had not been told.
Later in the day the popular orator
addressed an audience which filed to
overlooking Buffalo's great Convention
hall. In the opening lines of his speech
the speaker declared: "Six weeks ago
was at the Universal Exposition at
Paris. Today went through the
grounds where your Pan-American Ex-
position is to be held. | felt that Buff
falo is going to do at least twice as
well as Paris"

A FAMILY REcoRD,

When young couple gets married
and establishes new home it would
be q very nice thing if they would
get just d plain blankbook and enter
therein from time to time such events
in their home and family life as would
be of interest for them to look over in
after years. For instance, the advent
of the litNe ones, the moyings, visits
from friends, the important business
transactions-in fact, all the events OF
the family life fraught with either hap
piness or sorrow which go to make
up the sum of human living. Have
entries made by grandpa and grandma,
let the boy and girl decorate the pages
of this record with their first childish
writing, let there be an entry when the
baby died and the dear old grandpa
went home, and never mind if these
pages are bIotted with tear stains. Put
down when Tom got whipped for tell
Ing big lie and how near little Ben
came to getting drowned in the cistern
AS the years so by, and they go, by
very fast, this little book win become
TO all the family, and especially to the
father and mother, treasure Of al
most inestimable value a priceless
heirloom. Suppose you try this.

Most every farmer knows this fell
low-not the true sportsman, who will
seek permission before he will raid a
mans farm and who will courteously
observe the rights of the farmer re
specting the game which may be on
his land, but the pirate and pothunter
who is out to kill and slaughter every
living thing not strictly domesticated;
who hunts not for sport, but that he
may sell his pothunting spoils. This
fellow will bunch and kill the bevy of
quail which yon haye been feeding and
protecting. die s&eak and gray squirrels
which are. your household pets, will cut
your barbed wire fences, leave the gates
open, shoot among and brighten your
stock and is the very worst all round
municipal nuisance which ever gets loose
in the country. In some communities
the farmers have organized and agreed
to arrest and prosecute this pirate if he
ever sets foot on their land, and this
example should be generally followed

Latin-American and Pan-American.
The press of the various countries of
Latin-America show a cordial interest
in the Pan-American Exposition. 1t is
recognized that their cooperation is es-
sential to the end that the Exposition
may adequately represent the progress
of all the states and countries of this
hemisphere. AS rule the editors of
newspapers and other publications in
the countries to the south of the United
States display very favorable atti-
tude toward the enterprise. E. B. Lo-
PEI, editor and proprietor of La Core
spondencia de Porto Rico, has become
so enthusiastic over the Exposition
that he writes to the Press Department
that he is about to come to Buffalo to
see for himself the progress made in
the development of the Exposition. He
will be accompanied by his family.
Many other editors of the Latin Ameri-
can press have also announced their in
tention to attend the Exposition, and
inquiries are pouring in from these
countries regarding steamboat and rail
road routes. Many editors and CORE
spondents from Central and South
American countries have already WIS.,
tied the Exposition grounds.
