Well, my fair readers, here l
come again after being silent for
quite a while. l trust all OF you
have been enjoying this lovely fall
as we'll as l did, for who Does not
love the fall with all its golden
beauty: There IS something IN
nature this season that causes an
indescribable desire to live out of
doors, an unsettled feeling that
makes us restless to commune with
nature; to leave the world behind
US with it's surging tide of human
life, and seek the woods and peace.
full glades and there indulge in
sweet thoughts-memories of the
past, ant'cipations of the future
and present realities. No season
in all the year when the air feels
so fresh and pure, not too cool nor
too warm but exhilara.ing and
strengthening. One feels as If out
door life is necessary and all enjoy
the crisp air and delightful sun
shine.

to play train with him the other day.

then said: CHOW you be engineer
and I'll be conductor. Lend me your
watch and get up into your cab."

Editorial Notes.

A new disease, Tillmania, seems to
be epidemic and mostly confined to the
uncle and his nephew.
Los Angeles, California, has an or
ganization that furnishes medical at
tendance, etc, to it's subscribers at
a fixed charge per month. 1t adver-
tises in the street cars thus:
A dime or two each week you pay,
Our doctor drives your ills away.
From recent u%tterances of Mr.. Bry-
an it seems that he wants continual
reafirmations of the old and discard
ed principles of the democratic plat
forms. Old and worthless planks do
not make secure standing.
Senator Tillman and Senator Brooks
who beat Chas. Sumner into insensi-
bility with a cane while his friends
stood around with drawn pistols to
prevent Intervention, were born in
the same county.
The pension office at Washington is

and seals rs, 900 envelopes in a day.
Pres. Roosevelt naturally has no OBJ
ctions to helping the Kaiser adver-
Sc and emphasize the advantages of
American ship-building. Mr.. Wheel
er of Kentucky evidently did not take
this into account in his criticism of
the visit of Prince Henry of Prussia.
The profits of the match trusts last
year were So, 900, 900. No one be-
grudges this as the Diamond Match
company has given perfect products
and at a ridiculously small cost,
especially when we consider that it
has not been very long since it was
necessary to borrow fire in the house
holds of America. The match trust
keeps it's hold on the market and must
do SO, by giving the best it can make
and at the lowest possible price. This
is necessary because the patents on
which the matchmaking industry is
based are about to expire in all coun-
tries where the company has it's fac
tories.
1t is hard to please everyone. We
are trying to receive Prince Henry
with proper courtesy, and in doing SO
are reaping the criticism chat we are

There are some weeks when the

The maximum of production at the
minimum of expense; that is what the
trusts mean. Those who oppose
them by the anne logic ought to stop
riding on the electric cars and 60 back
to the tram hauled by mules, or
should cut their wheat with the long
disused sickle and throw away the
ombined harvester. The only prob
lem that trusts present cannot be
solved by doing away with them, but
by controlling them in the interests
of the people. And a careful consid-

supplying what the people want and
at the lowest prices.
