A friendship calendar was source Of
much pleasure to an elderly lady living
alone. At her request, each one OF fifty
two of her friends, representing the
fifty.two weeks OF the year, furnished
material for every day of the seven in his
week. Each one followed out his own
idea for the weeks calendar, contribute
ing favorite quotations, short poems
anecdotes and "reminiscences, some even
adding cherished recipes. In many in
stances the contributions were original.
Others were illustrated with small pic
lures cut from current magazines. The
result was a perpetual calendar, each
day representing the loving thought OF
friend.-Mrs. Lester Bryant, in Good
Housekeeping.

In a recent speech, Mr.. Roosevelt ex
horted his hearers to practice in civil life
"the honesty that not merely deplores
corruption-it is easy enough to deplore
corruption-but that wars against and
tram pies it under f,ot." The Louisville
Courier. j Journal therefore observes
"And there is no man alive who has
done so much to uphold and aid the
chief of corruptionists, Addicks, as the
preacher of this Sermon" 1t may be
added that the alliance between Addicks
and the Roosevelt administration is not
the only incident that prompts one to
echo Mr.. Roosevelt's statement: . 1t is
easy enough to dsplore corruption"

THE PRIMROSE PATH.

Americans are morally easy. They
dislike to believe that real virtue has
anything to do with steep and thorny
path. 1t has, however. Nothing is
more common" in the words OF Burke.
ethan for men to wish, and call loudly.
too, for reformation, who. when it ar
rives, do by no means like the severity
of its. aspect" The strength of ring
government, whether in New York.
Philadelphia or St. Louis, depends upon
the absence OF the severer virtues. Why
does Tammany, for instance, so often
win? Why did 1t win the other day in
the teeth OF all reason? Because there
are so many people who, though willing
to intlict virtue upon others, do not rel
ish it themselves. Many of the police
and fremen voted against Mayor Low
because they lost improper privileges
under him. Hundreds were disguised
by the commissioner of health, because
no man likes to be vaccinated against
his will, or forced to fix his own drain,
or stop music at midnight because he is
= public nuisance, or spend money in
cleanness if he is barber. Others
were preoccnpied about their Sunday
beer. Others about their taxes. Each
OF US would rather be an exception to
strict demeanor required for civic pro-
gress. AS sosn as it touches us person
ally, reform is an undue check to liber-
ty. Realizing this inconsistency, many
of the most attractive Americans take q
cheerful, fatalistic view of conduct, al
lowing to others all the liberties for
which they realize fondness in them
selves. Ibis fairness is, as far as it
goes, virtue. We should be stronger,
however, if we seized the other horn of
the dilemma, imposed upon ourselves
the duties which we saw to be good in
others, and took civic affairs seriously.
Mans attention is limited, and ours
has been concentrated on industry.
That stage is passing. The number OF
persons who do not care to fix their
minds entirely on pecuniary progress is
increasing, and, az we must have some
thing that seems worthy OF devotion,
one result will be greater willingness
to bring effort and sacrifice into public
life. Golfers Weekly.

Recently the Wall Street Journal ga

Recently the Wall Street Journal said
that in the American government, the
people are at once the creators and the
subjects of law. "Because all are equally
represented in the making of the laws"
said the Journal, land because, under
the constitution, all are equal before the
law, therefore all are expected to respect
and obey the law. All are free 60 far as
their freedom does not interfere with
the rights Of Others" And yet the
Journal does not mean that call" the
people subject to American authority
are equal before the law. The people OF
the Philippines, for instance, are subject
to whatever law we see fit to impose
upon them, but they have no voice in
the creation OF that law.

Haldcrman against the st. Louis, Kan

ties being stolen property. The SUIT

Inhn Senhler Doing Well.

Join Sechler, WHO is undergoing
treatment at the Mary NJ. Packer
hospital for the fracture of hip, is
doing quite we'll aud it is believed he
will fully recover.
There is very peculiar circum-
stance connected with his case. Mr..
Sechler many years ago fell from a
high building, badly injuring his hip.
There was partial dislocatiou which
became permanent rs the result Of
which he was lame during all the
latter years of his life.
1t is now stated that the fall OH the
3rd inst, while it caused a fracture of
the hip, had the effect of knocking the
dislocated bone back into its socket.
According to the prognosis, therefore,
after the fracture heals Mr.. Sechler
will be better than before, relieved of
the dislocation and able to walk with
out the limp that has characterized
his gait for 50 many years.

How Fires are Likely to Occur.

During q cold wave such as we have
just now passed through when it is
often necessary to heat stoves and cell
lar furnaces to the extreme limit the
danger Of fire should not be lost sight
of and "A constant lookout should be
maintained to see that none of the
woodwork about the house ignites.
The difficulty is that most people
have implicit confidence in the secur-
ity of their dwellings. The thought
never enters their mind that at the
present day any plan would be follow
ed in building that was not recognized
as perfectly safe. They, therefore, al
low stoves and furnaces to become
overheated without any thought of
danger. The truth of the matter is
that in order to facilitate building
and thereby keep down expense in too
many new buildings, devices are en-
ployed wherein wood takes the place
of non -combustible material in dang
erous proximity to chimneys and other
places exposed to fire.
A case in point occurred in the res
idence of r. S. zimmerman, Esq. Mon
day last when fire smouldering be-
hind the Dashboard of the family sitting
room was luckily discovered in time
to prevent very serious consequences.
The fire originated under the floor
where the pipe of the cellar furnace
enters the chimney. In order to sup
port one of the joists the carpenter had
mortised piece of cross timber into
two other joists, one on each side of
the chimney. The supporting timber
lay dangerously near to tie fiue and
although the fact was not recognized
has always been menace to the build
ing, whenever the furnace was in use.
The fire Monday worked its way up
wards among the side timbers and left
no evidence of its existence in the
cellar. Even after the odor of smoke
was detected the fire was located with
great difficulty. Had the fire occur
red few hours later the family would
have been retired for the night, when
in all probability the dwelling would
have been doomed to destruction aud
the lives of the inmates imperilcd
