"I'll tell you a remarkable thing, | said w. H.

Would it not be a source of query, when tht amount of tea consumed from the Cop per Queen store amounts now to five hundIed chests per. annumo" This of course. was a poser for the scribe and set the reportorial thought to work in the endeavor to solve the problem.
 First might be assigned the reason that the English. Scotch and Irish are great tea drinkers. But could the population of these nationalities have increase in proportion to swell tho consumption of tea from fifty cheste to 500 within a year? This woulc hardly seem to be probable.
 Then. again, might be give1 the reason that tea is a great Quenc1er of thirst, and may be used in the mines among the wOIkmen in the dime pails, and then following the i1quiry further among the restaurants wher' he miners have their dinner pail liled reg-l2riy, at least among thosf Tho have not homes Of thoir own. tn'

JOHN TALKS ABOUT JOHN.

The two Johns referred to in the caption of this article are John D Rockefeller, Senior and Junior. AS rs well known known the junior John ia a most ardent teacher of Sunday school classes, and each seventh day finds John, Jr., presiding over his religious charge of old or young peo- ple as the case may be. John Jr. happened to be addressing class re 6ently and took tor his subject the wickedness of corporations" To be sure. young MT. Rockefeller did not go so far as to say that all corpora tons were wicked, anc he interposed the quite true remark that there are many men who are doing business on a large scale with the most humble honesty"
 Of course, be said that such dis closures as have lately been made in the financial deals wrought out by ',Hnanciers" of the new type. who can show you how twice two makes eight, were enough to stagger an ordinary Individual, but he nevertheless clung to hope instead of despair.
 Even if the ship-bu;lding trust had been woefully wicked, so much so that the receIver appointed by the court had declared it "a most artistic swindle." there might be good trusts like the Standard Oil Co. or the Steel trust. or the Northwest Companies. for example. Jonn Jr. then declared that honesty was the foundation stone. and the man who charges too much for groceries will not succeed very long" Young Mir Rockefeller Cid not continue further on the lines os tue last sentence, ana state what he conside- ed a fair price for grocer ies. and if the grocer did charge, so that he cleared 4 per cent a year on his capital invez ,ec, he was goug- ing the public, and tat he only time the return of 4o per cent was fair was in the oil business. > ,-.f u
 But here is where John, Jr.. drove the spike home to the head, when he said: "A merchant who is content to live and let live, is more success ful than the corporation king who seeks to grab an.'
 Now, if John D. Senior viii only get copy of thc young mans discourse, and go way back and sit down and p< nder over it carefully, and thereby profit by those remarks, the life and precept of the heir to the Rockefeller billions will not be n vain Some people. just a few, have noticed the tendency Of John Sr. to grab all. We can remember when we had to put up s15 per case for coal .E 10 the Kiondike. or return 70 the modest tallow cip. and if our recollection serves us, John ST. was The gentleman who took our money 2nd didn't thank us particularly hard eit.cr

 Just prior to the close of the state

 last Tuesday, the officials of the pres
 ent administration were ali out on

 clans. instead of being in Washington
 It their respective posts and 6uties.
 lor which they are hired and are paid
 oy the people. Of Dourse this stump
 ng a ound the country afforded the
 ctice holders plenty Of opportunity
 to spout the instructions given them
 by the administration before they left
 the capital.
 Among these none were more active
 than the secretary of the treasury. In one of his speeches in Kentucky the honorable secretary made the remark: T fear that the democratic party aim more at the keeping in office than to solve the great questions of govern ment The office first. and the issue last is their motto"
 Having spoken for the democratic party. undoubtedly the secretary could speak with greater authority tor his own political affiliations. and the aims of the republican party.
 For instance. with full control of both branches of congress. and the presidency. what issue has the repub- lican party setted, or attempted to settle? very large portion of the party of MT. Shaw thinks and believes the tariff should be revised. The republicans of Mir Shaw's own state in fact. have given evidence of their cesire in this direction.
 But the ,eaoers of the party only respond with the remark. Stand pat" and this is not the time to make any changes, and that nothing will be changed until after next year.
 There is another issue which has c-'CA o1t1W SCISluti dDlt trouble. because it has not been set tied, and that is the currency question. He has tried II first by one expedient and then another, and has signany tailed. Over six years have passed since the republican party came into rower. pledged to reform currency, and there has not been a moment since that time when it has not had complete control of the administra- ton, and that promise stands today as completely unfulfilled as the cay # made the promise. On these anc I'll other reforms, the answer is al ways openly made. this is not the time 10 do anything; wait till afte' the election" These are but ex- amples of the sophistry and deceit >racticed by officers of the republican 'a- y and show now ridiculous is the | 'iaim that democrats want only the 1 offices, and Mr. Shaw, if frank. must admit that the sole reason fer the re- 1 publican, party eoatiuuing in power today isi their ssie aim of retaining .hese offitSes. racT"-r- :-~' "i-' T., 2

EVEN THE BURGLAR DECLINED
Rejected Manuscripts of IA Struggling
Writer Were Safe from the
HOuEebrenker.

AT the outset of my career as a
writer, said now wealthy and respect-
ed retired literary man, according to
the New York Sun, q had one little ex-
perience that at the time chagrined me
deeply though have since then MANY
tins laughed over 1t heartily.
In those days my manuscript came
back TO me with practically unfailing
regularity, as, | suppose, that of most
young writer's does; and, as | had the
eager industry of youth and worked
hard and fast and produced a good deal
Of stuff, very soon had considerable
collection of rejected manuscripts.
which kept neatly stacked up in piles
in a bookcase in my room, rapidly in
creasing accumulation.
One day my room was visited by n
burglar, who stripped 1t of pretty nearly
everything portable, but never took one
OF my manuscripts, which considered
TO be the most valuable of all nv nos
sessions He had opened that book
case, turned one of those piles so that he
could inspect 1t and, when he had dis
covered what is was, turned it partly
back and so left it. My manuscript was
rejected by even the burglar
Il got some little satisfaction from the
thought that he might once have been n
literary man himself, who had been
driven to burglary, as means of sun
port, by the rejection of his own manu-
scripts and who, prompted by a sympa-
thetic, brotherly feeling, had now left
behind what he knew / must regard as
my dearest treasures. But that fancy
was short-liyed and | could only con-
clude that he had left them for the same
reason that the publishers had all re-
jected them-because he saw no valne
in them; the burglar couldn't use them
even as junk
And ridiculous as 1t may seem TO Won
yet in my sensitive frame of mind at
the time, felt this sweeping rejection
keenly, though, as | said at the begin
ming, came in time to laugh over the
experience, and even to commend tn,

AN ARMY OF RODENTS.
Iho7aands OF Rats Invade a County
in Michigan in One solid
Pack.

From Calhoun county Mich, there
comes 10 the Smithsonian institution a
sensational story Of the invasion Of that
county by an army Of 5000 rats in one
PACK, reports the Washington Star, Of
recent date. A big gray rat is said to be
leading the vast array of rodents.
Michigan papers devote considerable
space to the peculiar occurrence, and
some Battle Creek citizens who have be-
come interested in the migration have
written 10 the Smithsonian institution
for an explanation. If possible. The
story Of the rat raid as told in Michigan
papers is that about II days ago 100 large
rats were crossing highway three miles
east Of Tekansha village, Calhoun coun-
ty, They are said to have been under
the leadership of a large, gray rat Of
venerable and dignhed aspect, and this
leader seemed TO have some definite OBJ
ject in view, for he marshaled his forces
in most authoritative manner. A few
days afterward a farmer in Clarendon
township, in the same county, was
aroused about three o'clock in the morn
ing by a squealing noise of great magni-
tude, such as might be made by a score
of filters Of young pigs. As the sound
continued to grow In volume the farmer
arose, hastily put on his clothes and
went out doors The air seemed filled
with the strange sounds and the man
climbed his windmill to see a dark wave
rolling across a field toward his barn. 1t
is said and as it approached nearer he
could see it was composed of hundreds
Of rats, squealing loudly as they ran.
Into the barnyard they came, hating in
front Of the barn, Then a large gray rat
seemed to select about 20 husky rats
from the bunch and led them into the
building When they emerged ten min
utes later they were accompanied by
about 100 Of the Clarendon mans rats.
They took their places in the ranks and
the procession moved on again across
the fields When last seen the horde is
said to have been crossing the highway
east Of the village of Tekonsha It is
claimed traveller had to wait nearly
hye minutes for them to cross the road.
and he estimated their number to be
not less than 5000. They were still un-
der the leadership of big gray fellow,
who appeared to be walking delegate in
the most extensive strike in the history
of Rodentdom.

FARM LABOR SCARCITY.
The Long Drawn-OHt Day Has Much
to DO with Driving Men From
the Farm.

One cause Of the scarcity Of farm
laborers is the long-drawn out work
ing hours, often extending from 10 to
Is hours Up at five, work till twelve
o'clock, back to work by one, stop
when 1t is too dark, and then feed the
stock or clean the stable by the dim
light Of lard oil lantern. Supper be-
tween seven and eight O'Clock, and to
bed, That's what's the matter. Is 1t
any wonder that muscular and sensible
men hesitate to accept farm work, for
the compensation does not tally with
the hours Of labor. Factories viii pay
81 per cent more for Is per cent
shorter hours Of labor. This is not as
1t ought to be. Farm labor, whether
done by the farmer himself or by hired
hands, should be better regulated, and
can be without detriment to the CON
duct Of the farm. The necessity for
10 hours labor per day can only result
from bad management, poor teams and
ineffective tools. man, a team and
a pillow can do an acre day by work
Ing from day dawn till dark. A good
man, good team and an up-to-date i'm
PIGMENT can do better work and twice
as much of It In ten to twelve hours.
any farmer can have good, well-fet
teams, and good tools, but he can't get
good men to do good work unless they
are treated fairly well II Is this bad
management Of farm labor that drives
boys and men away from the farms
ana Keeps them away. There Il 40
good reason why farm laborer should
work more hours per day than car

Pork is the condensation of the food

food, the hog must have been fed on
sound food In and around all our
cities there are hog breeders who haul
from hotels and restaurants Stops so
feartully putrid that stringent ordi-
nances must be adopted to regulate it's
handling lest contagion be the result.
In some towns this stuff must be trans
planted at night, In others, air-tight
receptacles must be provided. Ere
quently hogs thus fed are declared
nuisances dangerous to public health
and are prohibited The carcases of
such hogs are only fit for buzzard food,

DOG TRIES SUICIDE THRICE.
spaniel Owned by Cincinnati Woman
Would Rather lie Dead Than
See an Automobile.

Mrs George Hauck, Of Cincinnati.
o., owns spaniel which has taken a vio-
lent dislike to automobiles Whenever
one passes the home of his mistress he
has spasms, Finally he seemed de-
termined to end it all and deliberately
leaped from third-story window. He
was picked up by two men and carried
upstairs.
When placed upon the floor the dog
made second dash for the open win
dow and again fell sprawling upon the
sidewalk, unconscious. Mrs. Hauch ran
downstairs and picked up the animal
after being carried to the third floor the
dog in few minutes opened his eyes
Looking about for a second. he darted
out of the window for the third time
The last fall came near killing the des-
perate animal and after being tied Sc
curely he was put back to his bed and
the window closed
