READING THE ADVERTISEMENTS

When a person tells you he doesn't
read the advertisements do not believe
him. It would be better to doubt his
veracity than his intelligence. The
majority of intelligent people read the
advertisements. They prefer learning
in that way where to get what they
want, and at what price, rather than
hunt all over creation and ask all man
ner of questions about it. It saves
them time too. You have heard, no
doubt, of the man, who takes more
papers than he can read. He usually
takes them from the pile of free alma
macs on the drug store counter. No
wonder Poor fellow! He is badly
oyerworked. There is information in
the advertising columns ofthe average
Newspaper; there is entertainment; and
there is an inexhaustibly fresh and
eyer changing store of interest there.

a uOTneIy Axiom.

do not bite off a bigger piece than
you can chew" is q hOmely axiom that
it is safe to heed and which expresses
in language more fOrcible perhaps than
elegant a vital truth. But although we
all know the misery of undertaking too
much, of having more care upon us
than we know how to manage, why is
1t that we, over and over again, place
ourselves in this uncomfortable posi-
ton? How easy it would be to gauge
our powers and our purses at their
right values and act accordingly if we
only wouldn't it is forever the same
old story.
We stupidity pile up burdens upon our
shoulders that are absolutely senseless,
but that after a time weigh as heavily
as Sindbad the Sailors Old Man of the
Sea. In nine cases out of ten people
live beyond their strength and beyond
their income and what a waste of vital
power that means, what depression

STRIKES AND PROSPERITY.

It has been observed that every labor
strike that has occurred in this coun-
try since Congress passed the Dingley
tariff law has been attributed by the
leaders and newspapers of the Repub-
lican party to prosperity. They argue
that when the people are not prosper
Gus so many factories are closed and
so many workmen are then idle that
those who have any employment are
only too glad to hold tightly to it even
when wages are down to the lowest
figure, but on the other hand when
there are prosperous times, industry
is active and there is a great demand
for labor the workmen feel that they
ought to have share of the prevailing
prosperity and that they can force
their employers to pay them better
wages.
The theory is plausible, but it will
not stand a close investigation. The
thing which above all others is likely
to provoke a strike is the reduction Of
wages. And reduction of wages can
be accomplished in more ways than
one. In times of prosperity prices Of
the necessaries of life always advance
sharply, and labor is the last commod-
ity which responds to the general up
ward movement. When the labore1
finds that his wages in prosperous
times are not sufficient for him to live
on, he sometimes strikes for more.
The advance in the price of meat and
groceries has been in effect reduction
of wages. That is why many strikes
take place in an era of dazzling pros
perity.

Portable circumstances, with great
stock farm and a number of thorough

exceptionally large fee for some Wall

wanted to build railroad and reor-
ganize one of the big Texas companies,

cation was effected and Senator Bailey

he earned his money.

THE PEOPLE IN POLITICS.

The disclosures of maladministration
in the postoffice department, which are
coming thick and fast; the evidences
of corruption in Missouri legislature
and st. Louis municipal circles, which |
are being slowly but surely developed,
or the stories of official dishonesty |
which come from Pennsylvania and
other Northern States, are not to be
shuddered at as presaging the down
fall of popular government. On the
contrary, they should be considered
with equanimity, not to say pleasure,
because in each particular instance the
strong arm of the law is at work and
punishment bids fair to overtake the
offenders.
Still, the people should recognize
that boodlery and corruption could not
exist but for their Indifference
In proportion as the people become
Ilethargic in matters of public concern,
| the more flagant become the abuses of
power in legislation for sordid ends.
And It is not enough to depend upon
lobiect lessons in the shape of convlc-
tions and jail sentences visited upon
past offenders to keep future public ser
wants straight.
Busy citizens are inclined to let the
office holders alone so long as their dl-
rect interests are not affected by the
m1sdeeds of those who may turn out
to be corrupt. But once aroused to a
proper appreciation of their duties
they are quick to take vengeance upon
the ones foolish enough to betray pub
lie trusts. Still, it would be better,
through constant vigilance, to lesser
the possibility of the induction of cor
rupt men into office and minimize thei,
? chances of going wrong when the,
, manage to slip in unawares.
2 In Georgia there are those who com
r plain that the people take too mucl
stock in politics. They are blind t.
l the fact that as a result of this livel.
e interest in public affairs our govern
? mental service is the most honest AM
f economical of any State in the Union
| For a brief period only-the recon
! struction period when citizens wer
f kept out of politics by force of arms
corruption and malfeasance in ofic
prevailed. This was thirty years o
more ago and the lesson learned a
that time has not been forgotten, tn
r the people of Georgia having been i
; politics ever since.

A doctor, writing from Port of Spain,
Trinidad to a medical journal, tells Of
his experiments with mosquitoes. He
says that one of his childish amuse-
ments when playing with his compan-
ions in the early evening was to strike
a note that would attract the insects.
AS he remembers, the most alluring
sound was a continuous "oo," sung in
a medium key, which was quickly
changed to "ah" in a lower tone and
dwelt on fin the same way. The effect
on the mosquitoes was magical. Their
singing would quickly increase in vol.
ume, and they would Immediately at
tack the faces of the children, who,
strange to say, enjoyed the sport But
the mosquitoes did not enjoy it long,
for their love of music afforded an ex.
ceAent opportunity of killing them.

National Aid for Good Roads.

Mr.. W. Pierpont White, of Utica,
New York, observes truthfully that
there is no difference in the principal
of granting national aid in the con.
struction of improved highways to
transport millions of tons of farm
produce to the railroads, tllan in the
principle of granting national credit
and millions of acres of land to the
railroads when this nation backed the
enterprise of the building of the
Union Pacific.
There Is no doubt of the fairness of
the provisions of the Brownslow bill
providing national aid in road build
ing. Only $50. 600, 900 is asked of the
government which advocates of the
bill declare in no way represents the
portion due the agricultural interests
of the country for road improvement.
Speaking of the fairness Of this bill
Mr.. White says:
The $50, 900, 900 sought to be ap.
propriated by this bill will call for
All appropriation of $50. 600. 600 more
on account of the states and the coun-
ties using the money. making total
expenditure of $40, 900, 600, capable
of building 5000 miles of highway in
the nation. If the amount for road
improvement were larger than this on
the first appropriation. the results
would be faulty construction, through
inexperience OF the part of the road
some states. This country has not
yet developed Mr.. McAdam or
Mr.. Telford. Road building is an art
acquired by experience only, and too
much money easily possessed by an
earnest, energetic, honest, but mex
perienced road builder will not bring
you the best results. Wisdom sug.
gests that the first appi opriations be
small, so that errors which may be
made in construction will not be made
on great portion of the roads to be
bui.t by the nation with national aid.
