What days were those! Strange,

his patience and his love. No man
who came to him in honest need
found aught but gracious welcome,
and many body racked with pain
was healed, and many a clouded
soul was filled with light and
peace.
But the tickle and the foolish
thronged his path. Spies and en-
emies logged his steps. The hard
hand of hate and the cruel hand
of power led him, at .ength, to
Herod's court and Pilates cross.
Oh! those we're sad, proud days,

THE LINGERING DEPARTMENT.

"a large and Overwhelmingly

she said.
'sThen it dawned upon me what
she wanted and sent her three
aisles over and two floors up to the
place where things made of white

length of time that the average
shopper spends there, l thought
lingering was just as appropriate a
word as lingerie "-Washington

ABOUT RADIUM.
From Everybody's Magazine

From Eyerybody's Magazine.
No one, not even Nine. Curie,
has yet seen radium In a pure state.
IL has been possible to obtain il so
far only in combination with other
material. 1t is judged by the effect
of its properties, which are truly
remarkable. 1t is a product OF
pitchblende, which is found deep in
the earth. Most of that which has
been used. for experiment came
from mine in Bohemia. II Is
found also in Saxony. in Cornu all
and in Colorado. The quantity
already found is so small that the
figuratiye price of gram has been
placed at $40, 900. 1t may be that
there are large quantities OF 1t stored
under the surface somewhere, but
the man who found quantity of it
in state Of anything like purity
would probably not live to tell the
tale. The PARTICLES which ny from
it are charged with electricity, and
at night 1t shines forth with a phos-
phorescence which has been shining
since the beginning of all things,
and will go on shining until the
final extinction of all matter. A
small quantity of 1t in the possess
ion of M. Curie has caused the
most painful blisters when brought
in contact with the skin. A small
particle Of radium salt was sealed
in glass tube, placed in a paste.

They had a tornado down in
Kansas recently and the usual
stories are beginning to put in their
appearance in the Kansas papers.
One tells of a farmer who was plow-
ing when the big wind struck him.
What became of the farmer is
omitted but the tornado caught the
pillow in its vortex and whirled il
round and round until the whole
field had been nicely pIonghed.
Another farmer had lot of corn
slowed in bin. In the side of the
bin was a knothole. The tornado
caught the corn and drove the cobs
through the knothole, Smelling the
corn and leaving it in a nice little
pile on the floor. A wagon which
was standing in another farmyard
when the breeze came along was
upset and the wheels we're started to
spinning with such force that one
of them is still running and it is i'm
possible to stop it.

One Of the best recommendations
in the report Of the State Tax Com
mission is in regard to requiring
voters to be tax payers. II IS shown
that $4,000 voters in this state do
not pay any tax at all, but are re-
turned delinquent every week. We
have advocated this for years and
insist that no man should be allow
cd to vote who does not pay tax
OF some kind. Every voter should
at least pay his poll tax Of 81 per
year, and should be required to
bring his tax receipt to the polls
when he comes 70 vote.

A STRENUOUS lcosocLAsr.

Since Mr.. Roosevelt becam,
President of the United States anc
has been in the limelight, the peopl;
OF the country who want TO keep uE
with the times and keep themselve.
posted on all the things that can be
said for and against a man in public
life, have been reading the many
books that have been written by the
fecund pen of the man who now
occupies the highest Office in the
nation. A peculiarly of Roose-
velts writings is that he has had
very few kind words to say of any
man who ever occupied high place
In this country; on the contrary he
has lambasted the life out of most
OF them. Take, for instance, his
opinion of Thomas Jefferson, ex-
pressed in his NAVAL War of
ISIa." In volume XII, page 1913 of
that work from the pen of Theodore
Roosevelt, he was incorporate
enough to say that Mr. Jefferson
"was perhaps the most incapable
Executive that ever filed the Presi-
dental chair" That seems to be
pretty tough on the author of the
Declaration of independence the
man who acquired the Louisiana
territory, who was twice President
OF the United States, both times
elected by ballots and not by bullets
who was the founder of the Uni
versity of Virginia, and whose
teachings have ever been the bull
wark of popular government in this
country as against the rule of the
classes. Mr.. Roosevelt seems not
only to be an iconoclast, but of late
years he seems to have become
painfully pragmatic preacher. He
defends and proclaims the automatic
at the slightest provocation. He
is showing a reprehensible tendency
to lecture the public on f-evident
propositions, and to do it with sus
picion of sensational purpose, as
notably, in his warning against race
suicide and his recent sermon on
decent living. The people of this
country, if l am any Judge of every
day human nature, do not like to be
lectured. They think they know
what they want and how to get il
when they want it. That is one of
the reasons why Grover Clevland
lost popularity while in the White
House. If Mr.. Roosevelt will con-
tinue in his present course he will
very aptly illustrate the point of
"fom" Reeds sarcastic saying:
"What like about Roosevelt is his
enthusiasm over his own discovery of
the Ten Commandments.

The Post Office Department in
vestigation seems to have petered
out completely. If anything is do
ing at the big pile on Pennsylvania
Avenue no man can find out. Since
the statute of limitations let out so
many who ought to be wearing
stripes, 1t seems to have paralyzed
the energies of the investigators.
Although the Grand Jury in Brook
lyn indicted George w. Beavers
for completely in the frauds and pc
culations in the Post Office Depart
ment no attempt has ever been
made to apprehend him and bring
him to the bar Of justice 1t is be-
lieved that the reason for this
apathy on the part of the Govern
ment officials is that Beavers is
another one Of those Temple Pull
lers," and the powers that-be are
not hunting for that kind of game.
1t is safe wager that the last ha.
been heard of sensational develop
ments IN the Post Office investiga.

Tor Department would now become
the center Of activity in the scala.

ever be done there until there is

YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET
As Reported by J. Berry & Co.

As Reported by J. Berry & Co.
 New York, Aug. 1.-The early stock market reflected realizing in a good deal heavier volume than had been ex- pected. Stocks sold off quite sharply at the opening but there seemed to be somebody with basket who took all that were offered and this buying soon turned the market upward. By mid- day advances were quite general as compared with the closing figures on Saturday. There was a lack of import ant news of nature to influence prices although in a general way it should be noted that sterling exchange was strong and money condition easy. It is the general feeling that the advance has gone too fast, but while it is hardly likely to continue for long at the pace it has recently gone we look for con- tinued improvement in the market. Copper promises particularly well and so does Pennsylvania and the coalers The wheat market had something of a reaction and upon such occasions we feel as though it ought to be bought confidently.
