A NEW PREss-AND THE OLD.

August, 1908, will always be memoir
able in the annals Of the Evening Jour
nal. During that month we were en-
gagged in installing a new press and "a
new stereotyping outfit. II isn't safe

but we believe we are emerging from
the timber hence this timid cry. We
are richer In experience but poorer by
many thousands OF dollars. That is,
we have taken most Of our surplus
earnings to put into improvements,
with the hope OF further pleasing our
patrons and OF giving both advertisers
and readers two cents worth for every
penny placed in our Golfers.
Our idea was to install the new press
while the old was running, and then
some fine day TO transfer the forms to
the new press and abandon the old; but
there was one item that we left out Of
our oalculation-we hadn't accurately
estimated the character and possibili-
ties Of the old machine. Then she 1--WE
believe that is the proper pronoun ow-
ing to certain varieties Of temper)

stood day by day watching her modern
rival put on her new clothes, seeing the
workmen nut on the finishing touches
and grooming her with loving hands.
SO she grew sullen, and when set to

She was out Of sorts. Then came a day
when the new press began TO revolve;
that settled It. The old one began TO
claw at the paper, to grab handfuls, TO
wad it up and make spitballs out Of 1t
and then she went on a strike.
That night she got tipsy. and the
next day she did all sorts Of stunts

jaws and looked down her throat: they
jammed crowbars in her ribs. but by
this time she was aroused and began to
show certain varieties OF contrariness
which evinced real ingenuity. One OBJ
server who dropped in, and who should
have paid for ticket to see the won

was a hoss. I'd build a FIRE under her

simnle Hendache cure.

Here is a headache cure that is said
to be a marvellous remedy and to re-
lieve the sufferer when all else fails.
It is easy to make and easy to apply,
and It consists simply of black pepper
and camphor. Take a quantity Of black
pepper and put 1t in a handkerchief.
Then fold the handkerchief over so
that the grains cannot fall out and
saturate the whole thing with cam
phor. Bind this plaster on the head
and lie down. In a very few moments
the headache Will be relieved and the
patient will be asleep. When the hand
kerchief becomes dry saturate again
with the camphor; that's all. People
who have tried everything else say
that this home remedy relieves them
quickest At any rate. It is worth try
ing.

The POPE ON CHURCH MUSIC.

on this most important feature Of wor-

Sarto was a champion Of Gregorian mu-
