Surplus of Pill Mixers.

"Why do druggists clerks get suci
small salaries and have to work such
long hours?"
This question was recently asked of
the Star in communication which was
published. A day or two later another
letter was published from an unknown
writer suggesting as solution of the
problem that druggists clerks join the
body of union workmen.
1t is fact that druggists clerks get
less pay and work more hours each day
than any other class Of wage earners.
One Of the leading druggists Of this
city was asked to tell why it was. He
said:
because Of overproduction. Drug
clerks are drug on the market. There
is college in this town that turns out
something like 200 druggists each year.
There are about $50 drug stores in the
town. And, besides, more than half
these drug stores are training young
men in the business. or the $50 drug
stores only about fifty are making i
good profit on the investment The 9th.
erlOO. manage to skin along and cannot
afford: to pay large wages AS long as
the supply of drug clerks exceeds the
demand their compensation will be
small. There is no remedy for it tha,
l can see. My advice: to the young man
who contemplates learning the drug
business u.s.: don't. My advice. to the
young man already in it who seeks to
better his condition is, get out of it,"
Competent druggists may be hired
for Sc to $40 week, and for this they
are willing to work from ten to twelve
hours day.-Kansas City*Star.

Presidents have almost succumbed under
the strain, particularly President Ar
thur, and President Mckinley, to whose
impaired health may be attributed his
inability to recover from the shock of the
assassin's bullet. The great weight of
the pressure for Office ought to fall upon
the cabinet ministers and the President
ought to have more time for important
things.
What is wanted in the person Of Mr..
Roosevelt, and in every other person
whom the twentieth century may see in
the White House, is a President who
will be allowed to serve the whole peo-
pie with all his heart and strength, with
all his mind and body, in the discharge Of
his official duties. unhindered by the pres
sure upon him Of so many thousands of
his conntrymen as have in recent years
encroached upon the time and patience of
our Presidents and kept them from their
public work or compelled them to do it
by impairing their physical health and
overstraining their mental powers.
The time has come when access to the
President, except at public receptions,
should be limited to the cabinet ministers,
Senators, Representatives and ambassa.
doris, and to such other persons only as
are given interviews for public purposes
after written applications have been re-
ceived and carefully considered. The pub
lie receptions Of the President should be
few, and there should be no intrusions
upon his social life, which he should be
allowed to regulate according to his own
will and pleasure.
This needed change Of custom will at
first no doubt be unpopular. 1t will re-
quire, to begin the new rule, President
who has been a man Of the people, who
is known to be at heart thoroughly demo-
cratic in all his ideas and ways, and who
is also strong in his convictions and fear
less in his actions.

in moment Of time is stricken by death;
compels his friends to bury him; leaves
his family destitute and objects of pity
and charity.
Though I should live a thousand years
l never could forget the picture Of Just
such scene as this I saw in Mt. Hope
Cemetery a few days ago-the one that
inspired this sermon. I was called upon
to preach the funeral sermon of a man
who was clerk in one Of the great rail-
road Offices. He had beautiful little
home, lovely wife and child. He lived
life Of simple, happy ease. In vain
did insurance agents importune him to
carry just little insurance. He lived
each week to the limit of his small sal
airy, saving nothing. He refused to be-
come a member of any secret order on
account Of the expense.
One day he was sitting at his desk
writing and whistling, when suddenly
his whistling ceased, his writing stopped,
his head dropped forward on his book,
and his heart, ever light and gay, ceased
to throb.
When his accounts were footed up he
had nothing. The boys in the Office had
to buy his coffin and defray all funeral
expenses, and they were just as poor ss
he. One dollar week invested in life
insurance would have avoided all this.
The saddest sight think I ever wit
messed in my life was his frail, deli
cate little wife, standing beside that open
grave, with the cold winds whistling
through the barren trees, sobbing as if
her heart would break, with not enough
money in her pocketbook to buy her a
lunch and pay her way back to her cheer
less home.
And after she returned to her home,
what then? No bread in the pantry, no
money in the purse, no coal in the bun
ker, and the next months rent due. I
have no sorrow for that dead husband.
My sympathy is all for the poor, desti-
tute and unfortunate wife. It is a pity
that such men cannot suffer the penalty
Of their own folly; but, unfortunately, the
suffering is endured by their luckless
wives and innocent children.

A fad now gaining popularity is the
collecting of illustrated postcards. These
which are sold for the purpose, though
an ordinary scrapbook will serve very
well. The foreign cards are interesting,
and girls who have friends in Europe are
asking them to send these souvenirs. The
cards must have passed through the mail
to be of value to the collector. The for
eign cards are either fanciful in design
or have pictures Of monuments, famous
buildings, noted persons, peasant cos
tunes, sovereigns of Europe, ETC. The
American cards are usually of buildings,
