painful to It's victims. Take, for ex-
ample, the Illustrations in some of the
seaside correspondence. Not SO much
this year, but two or three years ago,
certain Philadelphia journals featured
their Atlantic City pages by printing
half-tone scenes OF more or less dressed
women bathers in various postures in
the surf and sand, with names. Some
of these views came so close to the
border line Of immodesty that It is
inconceivable that their publication
was authorized. Certainly no respect
able woman would choose to have thou
sands of prurient eyes in all parts of
the country gaze upon her under such
circumstances.
Even at best, the picturing of indi-
vlduals in private life Is open to abuse.
1t Is equally true that caricature of
public personages Is overdone; but the
first need Is to throw protection of law
around privacy. The right of privacy
should have statutory expression and

Is no such right. Conceding that en-
forced publicity may be disagreeable,

Rduuders of the law explain that there
is' no statute to cover the facts at

as much public property as the right to
speak her name, subject, of course, to
slanderous or llbelous license. There
being no averment that the portrait in
question had been used in manner to
reflect harshly upon the plaintiff, the
law provides no basis of redress.

THE BEST MAN.

United States Senator Burton, of KAN
sas, once had a bill to collect from an i'm
pecunious Irish friend who had kissed the
Blarney stone to some purpose. Alter
many notices the Captain" delgncd to
appear in Mir. Burton's law office, A half
hour of complimentary palaver availcd
him nothing. and he agreed to sign a
note covering the claim and furnish "the
best man in town as indorser. When the
Irlshman had affixed his mark Mr.. Bur-
ton, Strengthening his face. sternly de-
manded:
Now Captain, who is going to be your
endorser?"
The Captain indulged in another
passage of the most unctious flattery,
then leaned over Mr. Burton's shoulder,
turned the note on its face, and said:
you write j. r. Burton on the back
there and it will be the name OF the best
man in the whole county"
Mr. Burton indorsed the paper.-New

Con gresham Palmer.

VT is VERY gratifying to learn
that Congressman Palmer of the
II. Luzerne district has decided to
accept denomination, which
means a reelection. Mr. Palmer is one
of the few men in congress who have
won conspicuous renown during their
first terms. From the moment of his
first appearance in the arena of debate
he was singled out with quick discern
ment by the men who shape the policy
Of legislation in the lower house as a
man destined to leadership and this
early judgment has been strengthened
by the admirable speeches which he
has since contributed to the discussion
Of controverted policies.
The average speech in congress is a
good deal Of bore. Meant usually for
campaign consumption and really ad-
dressed to constituents at home, it
might well be printed silently, to the
relief Of the other members. But a
speech by Henry w. Palmer is the
it has for years been on the platform
in this vicinity; something substantial
as we'll as eloquent and witty; some
thing that conveys ideas and influ-
ences judgment. In the lower branch
of the national legislature are many
men who are masters of argument and
oratory, and who command, when they
speak, the attention not only of their
colleagues but also of the country. We
do not think that any of these is the
superior of General Palmer.
Nor does his usefulness end with the
matter of facile speech making. Often
er-tongued orators make very COM
monplace lawmakers, lacking practi-
cal experience and worldly equipment
for the efficient transaction of public
business. General Palmer is both an
orator and a worker; he is equally
at home in the publicity of discussion
or the privacy of the committee room;
his judgment is looked upon as equal
to his eloquence; he is a man to in
ftuence men. Our neighbor district
could not better assure its prestige and
a careful consideration Of its interests
at the national capital than by return
ing Congressman Palmer by big ma
jority

by general, advertising. We might

the Fair Oaks land was first secu-

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Lloyd Saw the Toad Pull His Skin
Over His Head.

Lloyd was fond of all Tie creation
that lived in the garden, from the
robins liGh Up in the apple tree to
the little ants which built their
homes in the gravel walks. lie was
always careful not to hurt any of
them, but he thought some of them
more interesting than others. There
was a toad which he called his, and
he fed it with crumbs every day.
He liked to watch it as it hoped
about among the plants, darting
out its bright red tongue to catch
any small insects which came in its
way.
One day Lloyd ran to his mother
in great excitement.
"NIy toad is trying to get his skin
off, he cried.
1t was true, and when Lloyd and
his mother reached the toad they
saw him pulling his skin over his
head in much the way that Al little
girl would take off her high necked,
long sleeved apron, only it was hard
er work for him to do. But he tug
ged away with his fore feet until he
was free, and then what bright
new coat he displayedl
Lloyd was delighted, and he ask
cd many questions about toads and
the way in which they changed their
coats, and after that he was more
fond of his toad than ever.-Emma

She Owed Grimm a Thaler.

Of Jacob Grimm the other day. One
of the prettiest fairy tales ends with
the words "whoever refuses to be-
lieye this story owes me a thaler."
One winter morning a little jew
ish girl rang the doorbell in Berlin
and asked the servant if Herr Pro-
fessor Jacob Grimm was at home
When informed that he was not,
she said politely:
"Will you please hand him this
thaler when he returns?"
The servant took the coin, glanc-
ed at it curiously and inquired who
sent il and what it was for.

Good Advice to Young Men.

The following eplgrammatlcal pc
riods are from President Porter,
Yale college; young men, you are
the architects of your own fortunes.
Rely on your own strength of body
and soul. Take for your star self
reliance. Inscribe on your banner:
Luck is fool. Pluck is a hero
Don't take too much advice. Keep
at the helm and steer your own
ship and remember that the art Of
commanding is to take fair share
of the work Think well of your
self. Strike out. Assume your own
position. Put potatoes in cart,
90 over a rough road, and the small
ones go to the bottom. Rise above
the envious and jealous. Fire above
the mark you intend to hit. Ener-
gy, invincibe determination, with Il
right motive, are the levers that
move the world. Don't swear. Don't
deceive. Don't marry until you can
support wife. Be civil. Read the
papers. Advertise your business.
Make money and do good with it..
Love your God and fellow men.
Love truth and virtue. Love your
country and obey its laws"

full of ground ginger. Pour in, mix

Orleans molasses. The dough must
be moist, not wet. Take it out on the
board, knead until it becomes elias

round cutter and bake in a moderate
oven until light brown. The dougl!

A Safe LIGHT.

A safe light for going about with
where there are inhammable mate
rials, as into a storeroom, may be
made as follows: Take long bottle
of pale glass and put into it piece
of phosphorus the size of pea.
Upon this pour pure olive oil heated
to the boiling point until the bottle
is about one-third full and cork
tightly. When light is needed, take
the cork out and allow the air to
enter, subsequently recorking. The
empty space in the bottle will then
become luminous and give quite an
effective light. If it becomes dim,
it can easily be revived by uncork-
ing the bottle for few seconds.
One bottle will last a whole winter.
Small bottles may also be prepared
in this way and carried in the
pocket.

A Boot and Shoe Ban.

With the limited closet space mod
ern houses offer place to keep
boots and shoes is puzzle. They
can be left on the floor of ones
closet or under furniture where they
will not show, but they will accumu-
late dust and get kicked out of
shape. The incest way to dispose of
them is to have a roomy shoe bag
tackled upon the inside of the closet
door. 1t should be made of stout
material and have deep pockets, or
ii will not answer its purpose. Ha-
bitual suit dwellcrs have numerous
devices for economizing space. They
study the matter from all sides and
sometimes develop great talent for
inventions. Couches are provided
with lids, and a deep receptacle for
packing away dresses and boxes of
the fiat variety used by tailors and
department stores are filled and
slowed snugly away behind the fur
niture or under it--everywhere they
can be hidden. Boston Traveller.
