SOME BENEFITS
OF COMMERCIALS

The world has really not been a fit
place for a poor man to live in until
the last fifty years. The increase in
the comforts of life, and the revolu-
tions accomplished by inventions and
new processes, all pay tribute to the
magician capital. Not only that, but
with this growth of material welfare,
side by side. step by step. has come
greater intellectual! and moral free
dom. 1t is gross misrepresentation

to mrzzle and suppress human liberty

oft so many of the human race. With

state of society, prosperity would be

it is bound to maintain this serenity

Suspicious of SchooImaster Not

The old schOOlmaster was deeply af-
fected. His scholars, noticing the
dilapidated appearance of his chair,
had presented him with a new one lor
Christmas.
"My dear boys" said the kindly old
pedagogue, with tears in his eyes, Il

have made me feel by this token of
your love for me. All | can do is to
thank you tor the sacrifices you have
made of your little purses fer the

sPiNsTEaS BRINK LESS TEA.

AlQng w.th other characteristics
Of spinsterhood that have gone gIim
mering down the aisles Of memory and
tradition is that Of devotion to tea.
The spinsters of today drink coffee
good and strong, much more frequent
ly than tea. Net few Of them demanc
even stronger beverages, but for none
Of them would the teapot be an appro-
pirate emblem. Tea no longer serves,
perhaps is not needed, to soothe the
vanity or console those women who
are outside the matrimonial palace of
bliss. afternoon tea" still stands as
convenient term. but it includes a.
most everything except tea, and when
that harmless beverage is served it is
so doctored that the tea-drinking old
maid of tradition would not recognize
it.

important. 1t l'arns the beginnings Of
self control. During the first years the
child puts itself In touch with the
world into which II is born, and In
these early years the parents, and the

They start the operations of the mind,

British Organized Labor Plans to

London, Sept. 14.-Organized labor
in Great Britain is quietly developing q
scheme by which number of it's repre-
sentatives will proceed to America soon
to discuss with labor leaders there n
plan for opposing President Roosevelt
at the next presidential election. The
Amalgamated Society of Book binders
is specially active in getting together
the new delegation as protest against
the action of the president in his rela-
tions with the bookbinders' union in
the government offices in the United
States.
The union men have a strong footing
in the government Offices here, and it
is understood to be their intention to
amalgamate with the organized men in
America if such an arrangement can be
found practicable. If general cleo
ton here is not probable this side OF
Christmas, the delegates will be ready
t 60 to America about the middle of
October.

NO EARLY SESSION
MANY OBJECTIONS TO OCTOBER
MEETING.
After Consultation With Many
Members Of Both Houses of Con-
gress President Decides Extra
Session Will Be Called to Meet
November 3.

Oyster Bay, N. Y. Sept. 14.-After
mature consideration and consultation
in person and by mail with mem bers
of both senate and house of representa-
tives, President Roosevelt has abandon
ed the suggestion that congress be called
in extraordinary session in October.
The extraordinary session which he
announced several months ago would
be held this fall will be called, accord
ing to present plans, to meet on No.
vember 8.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
suggestion of an October session of con-
gress came from parties who advocated
it's adoption, the suggestion was not re-
ceived with favor by members of con-
gress generally. The idea of an Octo-
Der session was opposed because it
would oblige senators and representa-
tives TO leave their states and districts
in the midst of campaign, which to
many of them and to their party was OF
vital Importance.
No agreement has yet been reached
as to the character of the financial leg
islation which will be enacted at tho
next session. 1t is not certain that an
agreement can be reached between the
two branches of conrgess whereby any
special legislation can De enacted.
