1t,s Time to smite.

It's time to lure the smiles along
 And help the world be gay; It's time to sing the happy song
 And whistle care away. It's time to gladly leave behind
 The sorrow and the signs: It's time to look for joy and ino
 Each cranny where it lies. It's time to hoist the flags for Mirth And shout huzza to Glee; Give Joy the freedom of the earth,
 Drive Woe into the sea; It's time to hide tine frOwns and let The songs of gladness rise The world is laughing, let's forget The sorrow and the sighs -S. E. Riser in Chicago Record Herald

THE ELECTION.

Tomorrow will tell the story. The campaign has not been an exciting one, and there has been less talk than usual. The Republicans are confident and the Democrats hopeful. The Democratic hope comes from the fact that the Dem ocrats are not fighting each other quite as much as they have been in the habit of doing, The Republican confidence comes from the fact that good ticket was nominated, and that the organiza- ton which has been so efficient is still in good working order. The workers are directing their efforts to getting out the full vote. and in order to help them those who want to see the Republican ticket elected should be sure to vote, and vote early.
 Wednesday there will be an opportu- nifty to look at the returns and the re- mains.

Reports from Paris say that Santos- Dumont is busy building a big balloon shed, which will house at least three of his airships. He has purchased twelve thousand square metres of land facing the Seine at Neuilly, just opposite the island of PuteauX, where is situated the famous summer club for Parisian sportsmen. M. Dumont lives in the Champs Elysees, and goes about on a tiny electric American runabout. His new balloon will be the tenth that he has built, and, as M. Dumont is of opinion that No. was much too heavy, NO. 10 will be beautiful toy, but not a machine to conquer the air

A gifted monkey in London menag- erie died recently. He answered to the name of Esau and was four and one half years old. His life was insured for a large sum and the manager of the inenagerie asserts that the signature for his life policy bore Esau's own auto- graph, which his trainer, Captain De- lascier, had taught him to write. Esau, indeed, had his own banking account, his earnings, amounting to some thou sands a year, being credited in his own name. Checks drawn against this sum were signed by Esau.

JOSEPH 9. HENDRIX. OHyueF, OeSoAiihS
head Of the new bank.
When the millionaires who control
the banks made Mr.. Hendrix &C.
quainted with their plans he vigor-
ously protested and sought the assist
ance of his numerous wealthy friends.
The precise nature Of the pressure
brought to bear upon the milllonalres
has not been disclosed, but the result
was the granting to Mr.. Hendrix OF
an honorarium Of $250,OOO in cash.
To those who have known Mr.. Hen
dirk since he first entered public life
the outcome occasioned little surprise,
for he has always borne the reputa-
ton Of being a fighter and man who
is not afraid to stand Up for his rights,
no matter how powerful his opponents.
Joseph G.. Hendrix is native OF
Missouri and comes from family OF
bankers When he arrived in Brook
Ign, after an uncompleted course at
Cornell University, he had little
wealth and no friends. He was long
a newspaper reporter, but, taking an
interest in politics, became the Demo-
cratic candidate for Mayor of Brook
Ign in 1883 and came within less than
1000 votes Of beating popular Seth
Low. President Cleveland appointed
him postmaster Of Brooklyn in 1885,
and he made that Office the model for
the country.
Mr.. Hendrix was next called upon to
organize the National Union Bank in
New York, and many Of the powerful
men Of Wall street became interested
in it. In 1894 he was a member of
Congress and made a notable speech
in favor of the gold standard. In 1900
Mr.. Hendrix was chosen president of
the National Bank Of Commerce,
which has a capital Of $1O,000,OOO.

Diseases of Metals.

Certain metallurgists in Germany
have come to the conclusion that
metals are capable Of being Infected
with disease. A leading scientist,
Prof. Heyn, has found that in the
injury done to copper from overhead
ing the metal is poisoned with what
he calls copper protoxide, a disorder
which causes sickness and structural
weakness. Steel that has been poison
ed by hydrogen is deteriorated until
it becomes almost as brittle as glass.
Another scientist has discovered a
certain kind of tin pest which inhab
it's roofs. He found also that when
the diseased mental was brought into
contact with healthy tin the latter
soon became infected and was finally

OVERSIGHT


BY points and sages you've oft heard
1t told
That friendship is precious; more
precious than gold;
Ani yet when a stranger approaches
our gate,
We bring forth our best and we serve
him in state
But scant is the cheer that we oft
times extend
When the guest who approaches is
only a friend.
Alack! tits too common a rule on this
earth;
We treasure the dross and we squan-
der true worth.
We greet his ambitions with critical
sneers.
We laugh at his hopes and encourage
his fears.
Though kindly the purposes which we
intend,
We forget to express them, because
he's a friend.

TO STUDY THE BAHAMA ISLANDS
An Expedition From Baltimore to
Make a Thorough Report.


An expedition recently left Baltl-
more for the purpose of making an
exhaustive study of the Bahama ISL
ands, the report to be presented to
the United States Government. The
idea of the expedition originated with
Professor George R. Shattuck, of the
Johns Hopkins University, and is
under the auspices Of the Geographic
cal Society of Baltimore, which de-
trays a portion Of the expense.
Some of the principal lines of in
vestigation will be concerned with
the animal and plant life of the ISL
ands. The geology of the group will
also be examined and a bench mark
will be left with the view Of ascertain
ing to what extent, if any, the BAHIA
mas are sinking or rising above the
level of the sea. Special attention
will be given in the reports to- the
industries, commerce, physical condi-
ton of the inhabitants and any other
economic feature which may suggest
itself. An elaborate outfit of scienti-
fic apparatus for the study of climatic
conditions has been provided. The
diseases which may be prevalent and
general sanitary conditions will be
included in the investigation. This
portion Of the work will be in charNe
of DR.. Clement A. Penrose, assistal
director of the expedition.

with Eddie into ths house.


Mrs. ?erring, who had not heard q
word OF what had transformed Carrie
from. a breathing statue into her old
joyous self, was too thoroughly pro-
voked at what she considered her
daughters lack of spirit and self-re-
spect to follow her Immediately.
When, however: she did so, she found
husband and wife-the former with
one arm supporting Eddie and the
other encircling Carries waist
standing before the painting which,
through Mrs. Perring's romantic sus-
picions, had wrought SO much, though
happily not irreparable mischief.
A few words neatly written and
pasted under the portrait-which, af-
ter all, was not portrait, but purely
the work of the artists imagination
convinced Mrs. Perring that she
was altogether wrong in her sur
misses, and that, after all, the deeply
yelled woman might be as venerable
as her appearance indicated.

These were the words which Mrs.
Perring read, and then she managed
to slip unobserved from the room, ana

mother-in-law was a model one.-New
