The duty of 81 cents ton upon bit
luminous coal having been suspended
for one year by act of congress, Gus
toms officers throughout the United
have been directed to admit coal free.
Congressman Jones and CusI man were
among the very few members who
voted against the suspension of the
dnty, which will be felt most seriously
by Washington mine owners and
miners who will be forced to compete
with the Vancouver island mines, in
which Chinese are largely employed
"The greatest good Of the greatest
number" undoubtedly demanded the
repeal of the duty, though it is hardly
likely to greatly relieve the coal situa
ton IN the east.

The state senate voted down a COM

with the Olympia ministerial associa-
ton to furnish varied assortment of
prayers at the opening Of the senate
sessions. at 81 per prayer Apparently
the sedate senators reasoned that such
an expenditure would be waste of
public money inasmuch as the really
good men among them would surely
be good anyway and the bad ones
would quite as surely be bad. 1T might

off their hats to him when they meet
him OH the street: they like to stop and
talk with him, for they know he is
sound OH most topics uppermOst at the
present time. The farmer is making
some money, too. He is probably not
making it as fast rs some others do,
but there are ten men now with little
nest egg laid up In the bank where
there was one a short time ago. That
makes him more contented and happy.
ANY man is more so with a dollar in
his pocket. So farming Is taking its
place with the best callings Of the
world.O

! Frank1in's Maxims

Benjamin Franklin published Poor
Richards Almanac for some twenty
five years. Instead of prophecies, be
enlivened the pages with maxims,
many of his own making. He once
said, during his travels, ."Nothing
gives me so much pleasure as to hear
the people quoting my maxlms." The
following are as true today as in Frank
Inns time:
Lost time is never found again."
::"He who riseth late must trot all
day"
"There are no gains without pains"
"The cat in gloves catches no mice"
'"Keep thy shop, and thy shop will
keep thee"
"One today is worth two tomor-
rows.

A writer in Farm and Fireside OBJ
serves that Farming is better bust
ness than it used to be. You can now
scarcely find man in any line of bust
ness who does not dream of the time
when he can own a little place in the
country. There he fancies lie can live
with his ear close to nature, rest well
at night, make little money, and
bring his children up in the way they
ought to go. Today the farmer is
the king of the world. With
out him men in the cities would go
ABOUT hungry, cold and in rags. And
they know it, too. They no longer talk
about farmers as 'hayseeds;' they take

Pertor was tried and executed for
the attempted murder of the Grand
Duke Nicholas. The day after the exc
cution the widow received an anony-
nous letter containing 10000 rubles.
1t was in payment of the wager made
between Warascoff and Pertof. The
bet was made by Pertof because he
had determined to sacrifice his life to
the nihilist cause. and accepted by
Warascoff because he had loved the
girl PertOf had married. Five, years
later he married his old love.

Neighbors not far from here
Put in telephones last year;
Farmers all talked up" fine
And were heard along the line,
All you had to do was ring.
Every bell went ting-aling!
One for Samson, two for Boggs.
Long and short call for old Scoggs,
Every neighbor has his call,
Twist the crank and that was all.
Mighty nice when work was through
To gossip for an hour or two
With your peighbors one by one;
Mighty nice, but lots of fun
To hear some other two
Telling what was not foT you:
To the phone eacli farmer sprang,
Slyly grinned and softly took
The receiver from the hook;
Other peoples secrets dear
Poured into his large red ear;
Slapped his legs and said, "I'll swan,
TelephOnins lots of fun"
Somehow in week or two
Troubles began to brew;
Farmer Jones got tightin' hot,
Heard Scoggs calm him sot;
Farmer Scoggs seemed angry, too;
Heard Smith tellin' what he knew
Smith heard johnson tellin' lies;
Paid him off with two black eyes;
johnson heard Young Isaac Boggs
Underbid him on his hogs.
Boggs overheard a sneakin' churl
Maxim love to his best girl.
Women, too, were in the muss,
Everyone from Scoggs to Jones
In glass houses throwing stones.
Now the lines have. silent growns
Wires rusted, poles o'erthrowp;
Twenty friends are deadly foes,
Each onefull of griefs and woes,
Each too mad to speak word,
Cause of things they'd overheard.

Gray broke the present record, estab-
lished by Magee, at the recent meet Of
the University of Pennsylvania on
Franklin field. He cleared the bar at
the creditable height of II feet 8 inches.
Magee is training hard in Chicago to
develop his ability to it's highest point.
His ambition is to regain his lost hon
OrS.
Gray is a graceful performer, clear
ing the bar with ease and apparently
with plenty Of steam in reserve.

Of the court house question in its colss

would be likely to create considerable

courtshtp After Marriage.

Human affection is fed by signs and
tokens of that affection. Merely hav-
ing kindly feelings is not enough; they
should be made manifest in action.
The parched earth is not refreshed by
the mere fact Of water in the clouds;
it is only when the blessing Of rain ac-
tually descends that it awakens to new
life. We are so ready to say. "He
knows how much think of him." and
to assume that as a fitting substitute
for expression. We may know that the
sun is shining somewhere and still
shiver for lack Of its glow and warmth.
Love should be constantly made evil
dent in little acts Of thoughtfulness,
words Of sweetness and appreciation,
smiles and clasps Of esteem. 1t should
memory by patience, forbcarance,
courtesy and kindness.
This theory of presumed confidence
in the persistence Of affection is one of
the sad phases Of married life. We
should have roses Of love- ever bloom
ing. ever breathing perfume. instead of
deed roses pressed in the family Biblt
merely for reference as memorial of
what was instead Of guarantee Of what
is. MatrimOny too often shuts the
door Of life and leaves sentiment, con-
sideration and chivalry on the outside.
The feeling may possibly be still alive,
but it does not reveal itself rightly.
The Irish standard., 1903-05-16

The rhymed poetry OF loving has
changed to blank verse and later into
dull prose- AS the boy said Of his
father, "IIc's IL Christian, but he's not
working much at It now" Love with
out manifestation does not feed the
heart any more than Il locked bread
box feeds the body; it does not illu-
inmate and brighten the round Of daily
duties any more than an unlit lamp
lightcns Il room. There is often such Il
craving in the heart Of husband or u
wife for expression in words Of human
love and tenderness that they are wei
coined no matter from what source they
may come. If there were more court
ships after marriage, the work Of the
divorce courts would be greatly les
sened. This realization is often one Of
the things that come too late.
The Irish standard., 1903-05-16
The Church IN pra.ce.

Those who cherish the hope that the
struggle now going on in France will
end in ultimate disaster for the Catho-
lie Church, are reckoning without
their host. Mr.. Combes will triumph
for time, but Rome knows how to
wait. The London Spectator, which
not only keeps a shrewd eye upon the
transactions Of the day, but likewise
calls upon it's good memory, is not
quite sure that the Catholic Church
will lose. even in France. 1t says:
'She-the-C Churcll-did not yield be-
fore Bismarck. but fought on patiently
and hardly. till by and by the Centre
held the balance of power in the Ger
man parliament, and the Falll laws
We're abandoned as impracticable.
Rome then was fighting Teutons, who
are always hard to beat, and she won,
too, on parliamentary ground in the
chosen arena of democracy. &.
She called up no new power. She, SO
to speak, argued the question out, and
finally convinced all GERMAN states
men, if not all Germans, that needle
guns will not kill ghosts. She made
that effort under Leo Kill, and he is
still alive, and she may make it again"
Nor does the same keen observer be-
lieve that we shall behold n Gallican
church Independent of Rome-far
from it-"LOoking at the whole mat
ter purely as historians, we cannot
think much of that fear. In all her
long history no Church has remained
Roman Catholic yet independent of
Rome. The idea of the seamless robe,
or the necessity of an ultimate ref
cree, has always prevailed against the
rebels; and even when revolt has be-
gun, it's leaders. if they have not
changed their faith. have ultimately
sought readmission into the ancient
fold" Catholics have come to under
stand that union with the head Of the
Church cannot be severed without
leresy. No bishop in his right mind
will think of setting up in opposition
to the Divinely constituted moderator
of the faithful.

Eugene Field was once presented to
"sistcr poet" to whom he tried to
say pleasant things. At last the lady
inquired condescendingly, "Do you ever
write Yourself"
"a little" replied Field, modcstly.
"And what did You say your name
wasp
"My name is Field Eugene Field"
81 have not heard Of you before. Mr..
Field" said the lady. with oppressive
frankneSs.
"No. madam" said Field. "Nor Of

tended you had, as did. Coed after
noon."
The Irish standard., 1903-05-16

If you consider the list of your
friends, it will not take you long to
discover that the woman you like best
is the woman with Il sense Of humOr.
She is the one you think Of first il you
are getting up Il picnic or a card party
If II rains or If II shines, if anybody
else is cross and grumpy, the woman
with sense of hum0r can extract fun
out Of the drearcst proposition, and the
first thing you know she has set every
body to laughing at her drOll sayings
and turned defeat into a triumph, for
who cares whether your original plan
was carried out or not just so every
body has good time? A sense of
humor is said to be lacking in most
women. Alas, have found this only
too true! But have noticed that
when woman does have it the men
are the first to find it out, and all she
has to do to acquire husband Is pick
and choose. The day Of the girl with
the doll face is going out, and the day
of the girl with sense of hllmOr Is
coming in.
The Irish standard., 1903-05-16
Cheer Up.

Learn to smile and be cheerful.
When you arise in the morning form
the resolution of making the day Il
happy one for yourself and for those
with whom you are thrown in contact.
A kindly word to the discouraged, lit
tic sympathetic attentions that spring
from a generous llcart, cost but an
effort and vet how welcome they
are! Kindness brings forth the
treasures that lie hidden in the inmost
rcccsscs of the heart. Harslmess, or
the other hand, disconrages all good
intentions. Opportunities of doing
kind acts, if sought for, are forever
starting up; and it is by words, by
tones, by little acts of kindness rccur-
ring daily and hourly. that affection
is won and preserved. He who
npglccts to do these tritlcs, vet boasts
that when a great sacrifice is necessary
he will be ready to make the sacrifice,
if he does it mt all, will do so more for
his own sake than for that Of his
neighbor. We are surrounded by
sensitive hearts; therefore do not
breathe sentiment or say a word that
will offend another, or send a thrill of
pain to his bosom. But speak prompt
ly when you feel kindly. Many lose
the opportunity of saying Il kind word
by waiting too long.
