EDITORIAL DIFFICULTIES.
The Sanctum Scribe Has Much 70
Contend with, but He 10 "Johnnfe
ON the Spot"

The troubles of an editor are many.
Besides the difficulties inherent In
making up his paper satisfactorily.
he often has to live up to a reputa-
ton for limitless knowledge. For
many people he is an oracle, and the
column headed "Notes and Queries"
or something similar, is his mouth
piece. A Philadelphia paper received
a communication bearing pertinently
on this matter. It ran as follows:
Dear Editor. Will you kindly In
form me by return mail what number
| of seeds are contained in 70 to To-
pound pumpkin, as I wish to settle
en- argument?"
A western parallel to this request
lies in an unhappy experience OF an
editor who one morning received two
letters from subscribers. The hrst,
an anxious father, wrote to find out
the best way to bring up his twin
babies In health and happiness,
while the other, q farmer, wanted 70
know the quickest method OF get
ting rid of grasshoppers.
The editor hesitated; then, out OF
the fullness of his knowledge, he
wrote two letters in reply. But In
the haste of business he put the let
t~rs into the wrong envelopes.
The next morning the father Of the
twins received this interesting an
swer:
"Cover them carefully with straw
and set fire to 1t. After jumping In
the flames few moments the little
pests will be speedily done for"
And the man who was troubled
with grasshoppers was hidden tt
"Give castor-oil regularly in moder
ate doses and rub their gums with

The Legacy of w

BY HOPE DARING.

ut WISH Amos would come TO sup
/ per-" and Mrs. Todd, shading
her eyes with her hand, gazed out to
where two men were standing in the
shade of great butternut tree.
.'I rang the bell fifteen minutes
ago, and the potatoes will be spoiled.
Wonder what Tom Haskins wants.
Oh dear, how hot it is here! There,
Tom is going"
Mrs. Todd busted herself taking up
the long-delayed supper, while her
husband sauntered towards the house
in the leisurely way in which he usu-
ally did things. Amos Todd was
heavily built but erect man of sixty.
He was bald, and the struggling
fringe of hair in his neck, his broad
face, and stubby beard were all the
same shade of faded red.
"What does Tom Haskins want"
Mrs. Todd asked when they were
seated at the table.
Her husband waited even little
longer than usual before replying.
At last he said. his voice somewhat
husky because Of the pork and po-
tatoes with which his mouth was
filled.
"Me and Tom was tallSin' bout that

Todd said, little tartly.
"Humph! Some folks think they
be smart" and Amos watery blue
eyes opened a trife wider. Eagle is
a beauty, and IL 1 had the money I'd
buy him tomorrow. His skin shines
as II 1t was black satin, and he car

A haze of low-lying clouds were al

the eastern sky was aglow with .

She re-entered the house and start
ed the kitchen fire. Amos was to 60
that day with load of stock to
town IS miles distant and would not
return until night.
There was little conversation be-
tween husband and wife that morn
ing. Breakfast was ready on time
and was perfectly to Amos's liking.
AS soon as he finished eating, he
started of on his errand.
It was late when he reached home.
All day he had thought of Jane. Had
his appeal of the night before made
any difference?
IF she goes back to the old way"
he murmured, "I'll be little differ
ent. / guess I've ben as good hus-
band as woman ought to expect,
but-land sakes! What's this?"
He had unhitched his team and en-
tered the barn with them. Although
it was fast growing dark, he saw that
there was q strange horse In the
stable.

to himself, as he proceeded toalight

why, 1 swan! It's Tom Haskins'

He stood looking straight before
him, vainly trying to solve the prob
lem. 81 don't see Jest how it Is.
Toms left him here for something.
Maybe Jane'll know. My, hain't he
a beauty!" and he patted the horses

After caring for his own horses
and giving Eagle an extra measure
of oats, Amos started for the house.
"Yes, there's company" he said
when he saw that not only the
kitchen but also the sitting-room was
brilliantly lighted. swell, that'll
mean a good warm supper"
He was right about the supper. II
was waiting on a spotless cloth and
in kitchen as neat and clean as II
could be. Amos eyed the fried chick
en- and mashed potatoes, the cream
biscuits and golden citron preserves
with an appreciative delight, while
the fragrance of the coffee was as
nectar to him. To his surprise he
saw that the table was spread fol
only two.

"No, Amos"

IN THE WAY OF SETTLEMENT.

board of arbitration agreeable to both sides has
been appointed by the president to settle the coal
strike and work in the mines will be resumed pend
ing an adjustment of the differences. The six men
composing the commission all citizens of stand
ing and the tribunal seems to be evenly balanced
as human intelligence could appoint. 1t is certain
that neither side can claim that the commission is
packed in either interest at the start. All men are
more or less subject to their environment. The
harness of human occupation leaves its mark upon
the individual. Mans daily toll develops certain
muscles out of proportion to others and directs the
mind into certain channels or habits of reasoning
1t is inevitable that this should be so, and the in
telligent men this all-important commission may
differ Numerically and yet honestly.
Two of the men would seem to be inclined toward
the side Of the operators. Judge Gray, of Della
ware, is man whose official position, associations
and general habits of thought would lead him to
regard constitutions vested rights and financial in
terests as something peculiarly sacred. Thos H.
Watkins of Scranton may be expected to support the
of the operators and oppose the strikers be-
cause the business men of the coal region are as a
class, bitterly prejudiced against the miners They
hurt business and that is an objectionable offense.
E. E. Clark of Cedar Rapids Iowa, is not a mere
also in touch with the labor side of the great ques-
ton. Bishop Spalding is man whose calling would
lead him to regard the from the miners stand
point.
The two doubtful factors are Gen. John NJ. Wilson
and E. w Parker of Washington, the latter an ex-
pert mining engineer Since they have been select
ed by the president, although conforming in occupa-
ton to the requirements of the coal operators, it
may be presumed that they men of intelligence
and decision of character, and that they will act
upon their best Judgment.
At the present moment President Roosevelt is
more prominent in the eyes of the world, more in
favor with the people of his country than at any pre-
vious time in his career. The American people, re-
gardIess of political affiliations love president who
pushes important measure without waiting to be
forced to action by pressure from behind. Mr..
Roosevelt has done something more daring than the
storming of battery, because he has gone ahead of
his political associates and advisers to establish
PRECEDENT without questioning the political effect.

BIBLE READING TO BECOME A FAD

Literary critics are predicting new literary fad
in this country The Bible is to be the next affec-
ton.
'Critics writer's and other literary persons are be-
ginning to speak well of Moses, g." writes one cynic.
His rugged style is approved, and there are admi-
rers in the smoking rooms of the Chicago and New
York clubs of the lucid reasoning of Paul and the
textuaI beauty of the Psalms
No doubt Moses and Paul and David are felicita-
ting themselves over this recent compliment. The
spiritual uplift contained in these Hebrew writings
is unimportant to these literary loafers. They are
concerned about the literary style.
However, it will do these people no hurt to read
the Bible, and 1t may do them good.
Questions of spiritual ity aside the Bible is val
liable book because it is the heritage of the Anglo
Saxon race. Its phraseology has gone into COM
mon speech and if you know the language of the
Bible and of Shakespeare you will have no trouble
to make yourself understood
The Bible, Shakespeare, and a dictionary are bet
ter literary tools than a Carnegie library would be
without them.
Where you find better imagery than in the
Old Testament? Where greater tragedy than in
Job? Where loftier thought or feeling than il
Isaiah? Where greater dignity than in the Psalmsi
Where better logic than in the Cornthiansi
Where greater humanity than in the Sermon on the
Mount?
Reading the Bible is good fad. 1t has not beer
fashionable of late. So much the worse for the Re
public of Ideas. And so much the worse for the
generation that has neglected it. No man can reac
the Bible and be the same man.
If he reads it as fad that is better than not tc
read it at all

creased. 'Women are more excitable, sensitive
and nervous in drink than men and in this condi-
ton will commit crimes more readily"
But here is something not generally known: Lady
Henry Somerset says, 81 am sorry to hear that wo-
men in America are drinking more than formerly
The statement is appallingly true. Because when
womanhood is besotted the fountain spring of hu-
manity is mudded.
What are we going to do about it?
Is it not about time for another sweeping temper
ance revival? Has moral suason been abandoned?
And if the remedy is in legislation is it not about
time that common sense measures looking toward
the suppression of the drink traffic took the place
of enactments which legalize.
What are those Florida Baptist preachers doing
who only short while ago advocated the state 60
ing into the business as dispensary.

WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTINGq

Lady Henry Somerset, who is the Frances E
Willard of Great Britain, arrived in New York early
in the month and tells sad story about drunken
ness and English women.
drunkenness is on the increase in England, -
said Lady Henry. II am really ashamed to tell the
American people in what a deplorabe state the
United Kingdom is. 1t has become nation of
drunkards. 1t seems hopeless to work for its re-
formation. The increase in intoxcation at home is
due to the spread of the drink disease among wo-
men," Continuing, she said
''To illustrate to you how women abroad have
taken to drink want to say that about fifteen
years ago the average arrests in London for ntoxca
ton was four men to one woman Now 1t is three
women to one man."
Lady Henry also says that because of the drunk
snness among women crime in England has in
