She Pitied His Distress.

An artist who was making a sketch
ing tour through a picturesque region
of Connecticut CHANGED one day on a
barn so alluring to his eye that he sal
down on n stone wall and went to work
at once.
He soon became conscious that be
had two interested spectators in the
persons of the farmer and his wife,
who had come to the door of the house
to watch him.
The artist by and by discovered that
he had lost or mislaid his rubber eras-
er, and as he wished to correct a slight
error in the sketch, he went up to the
door and asked the farmers wife if he
might have a small piece of dry bread.
This. as every artist knows, makes a
good eraser.
The farmers wife looked at him with
an EXPRESSION of pity not unmixed with
surprise.
"Dry brea1" she repeated. Well,
1 guess you won't have to put up with
any dry bread from me. young man,
You come right into the kitchen with
me and I'll give you thick slice of
bread with butter on it.
Now don't say word" she contin-
ued. raising her hand to ward off his
expostulation. II don't care how you
came to this state. nor anything about
it; all know is, you're hungry, and
that's enough for me. You shall have
good dinner"

The Quiet Man in the Corner.

| fingered DER checker game u night
or two ago:
The one who played against me seemed
TO have no ghost of show;
l had bunch of lusty kings that strutted
all about
And bullied my opponents men, who
dared not venture out.
Way over in IL corner shrunk timid
little man
Who staid right in his station ever since
the game began.
He watched my crowned heads marching
by with banner and with song.
And seemed to be discouraged over stand
ing still so long
But pretty soon an opening occurred two
blocks away,
And not arother moment did that little
fellow stay.
He bounded DER the board ana took three
kings in one fell swoop.
Then landed in my kingrow with n wild
ecstatic whoop.
You've known these quiet fellows that
just sat around and thought
And never made noise while the others
ragged and fought;
The whole community had come to think
of them as dead.
Or else so very near it that their hope of
fame had fled.
The chaps with recognition for their por-
ton pose and strut.
And seem to overlook the man who keeps
his talker shut.
But some day. Wien most every one is
looking t'other way.
This quiet fellow sees a chance to break
into the play.
He reaches out and grabs things that
the others had ignored;
He puts into the life-game all the energy
he's stored
Through all the years of silence. So
you'd better not forget
y still man in the corner. for he'll reach
the king-row yeti

Eating in Old Times.

The Romans took their meals while
lying upon very low couches. and not
until the time of Charlemagne was a
stand used around which guests We're
seated on cushions, while the table
only made Its appearance in the middle
ages, bringing with 1t benches and
backs. The Greeks and Romans ate
from kind of porringer. During Il
portion of the middle ages, however,
slices of bread cut round took the place
of plates. The spoon is of great an
tiquity, and many specimens are in eX-
lstence that were used by the Egypt
ians so early as the seventeenth century
b. G.
The knife though very old, did not
come into common use as a table uten-
sill until after the tenth century. The
fork was absolutely unknown to both
Greeks and Romans, appeared only as
curiosity In the Middle Ages, and was
first used upon the table by Henry III.

Protection and Labor.

For more than forty years the Repub-
lican party has made the protection Of
American labor a cardinal feature of
Its policy. Its greatest leaders have
contended for this and the results have
splendidly indicated their wisdom.
The United States has been made the
paradise of the working man, labor las
been elevated and to-day the wage
earners of this country are enviad by
those of other lands. The Republican
party stands now where it has always
stood in this respect. II proclaims
through it's distinguished leader con
timed devotion to the interests and
the welfare of the working classes and
points to what IT has accomplished in
their behalf as giving it a just claim to
the continued confidence and support
of labor.
There must be no lowering of the
standard of living for the American
working0an. says President Roosevelt.
Moreover, he must be secured the full
est opportunity II employment. Every
body should concur la this. yet the
Democratic proposition TO overthrow
protection would take employment
from labor and necessarily lower the
standard of living. Workingmen Mt
least should give thoughtful considera-
ton to the words of President Roose-
velr-Omaha Bee.

TeIItaIe Envelopes.

An envelope has been designed that
mail thieves cannot tamper with I'M
detected There are two ways in which
ordinary envelopes may be opened-one
by forcing the flap open with a thin
metal blade. and the other by steam
ing the envelope until the mucilage no
longer holds the flap. In either case
it is difficult for even the person to
whom the letter is addressed to ascer-
tain whether the envelope has been
opened unless something has been ex-
tracted. The improved envelope diff
fers from the ordinary kind only in
having a sheet of tissue paper attached
to the flap and extending down inside
the pocket. This sheet attaches itself
to the surface of the envelope with the
sealing of the letter, and it is obvious
that any attempt to force the flap
would tear the tissue, in spite of the
utmost caution. the torn tissue being
plainly seen when the envelope was
opened in the proper way. To detect
any subsection to the steaming process
the tissue is secured to the flap by a
colored mucilage. which iquifies in
stantly when brought into the pres
ence Of the hot steam, daubing the in
ner and outer surface of the letter until
it plainly indicates the use of improper
methods to ascertain the contents.

A certain class of papers loses no
opportunity to sner at Civil War pen
sioners and to insinuate that the chief
effort of the veterans is to get their
names placed OF the pension roll re-
CARELESS of their needs and rights. IL
is noticeable, however, that none of
these papers is calling attention 70 the
significant statement in Commissioner
Wares report that the number of
death notices of old soldiers not now
in the service received by the bureau
during the year is so, 12S, but only 27,-
043 of them We're pensioners. In other
words. nearly half of the deaths Of
Civil War veterans last year were
those of men not on the pension list
TIL IA tural inference is that a like
pro- ,Jrtion of the old soldiers still liv-
ing have not found 1t necessary to call
upon the government for aid in their
advancing years. Some of them may
find it necessary to do so yet, but that
they have not taken this step up TO
this time. thirty-eight years after the
war is it's own REPUTATION of the SIAN
derous assertion that as body they
are pension grahbers. But the papers
which indulge in shrieks of horror
whenever pension appropriations are
alluded to will not mention this.-In-

The Torthcomins Message.

The Washington correspondents ara
already tusy in outlining the main
points of the Presidents message upon
which he is now at work. While it will
probably discus nothing new save per-
haps that Of arbitration by national
commission. and the questions growing
out OF the coal strike. it will present
some issues in a new light, and will still
more forcibly present the recommenda-
tons made last year which were not
acted upon by Congress, particularly
those in regard to Capan reciprocity
and the trusts.
The President stands before Congress
in very different attitude from what
he did last year. Then he was virtually
an unknown quantity in respect to poll
tics and craftsmanship. Ole party lead
ers looked upon him not without suspi-
cion, and as a young man noted mainly
for strenuous and independent tenden-
eies, having but little regard for the
opinions of others. He was not given
much credit for tact, and as for becom-
ing the leader and spokesman of his
party the tradition of former Vice Pres
idents who had succeeded to the Presi-
dency was all against him.
Time has passed. and he is today.
what all Presidents should be in re-
public governed by party, his party's
leader. A year ago he spoke as the
legatee of the policies Of his predeces-
sor. To-day he speaks as one having
authority and from his own standpoint.
His first message WIS received by
Congress as If it might or might not be
acted upon according to the good will
and pleasure of certain influential party
leaders. His second will be received as
one that must be dealt with.
Two questions he will present with
great, and we believe with convincing,
force-the tariff and the trusts. AS to
the tariff he viii doubtless urge tariff
commission such as he outlined in his
Logansport, speech, and for which he
will have the support of the country. If
there is any question that should be
taken out of partisan politics, it is the
tariff question, and this policy VIII do it.
Upon the subject Of trusts he will pro-
pose the amendments to the Sherman
law that have been suggested by the
Attorney General. by means of which
we believe the supervision and pub
licity essential to the honest manage
ment Of corporations will be obtained.
There is little doubt that President
Roosevelt's second message to Congress
will be great and commanding state
paper worthy to be classed with the
best that have ever emanated from the
executive mansion.--Chicago Journal.

Popnlism ParnIyzed.

Really, all things considered. it is the
fault of the Pops that no more excite
ment is seen in the Kansas campaign.
In former days the Pops had schemes
of such novel character that every
one had to become interested in spite
of himself. But now Populism is like
played-out mouth organ thrown IN
corner. 1t can't even make discord-
ant music. 1t hasn't even a scheme
to make rain, | plan for an aurora
borealis railroad, or n project for ev-
cry man printing his own money. For
the first time Kansas is really ashamed
of Popullsm. 1t has lost its pic
turesqueness and challenges no mans
attention. City Journal.
