A British View of Our Prosperity.

A British writer who has been mak- ing a trip through this country as the correspondent of the London "Statist." a financial journal of prominence and authority. is quoted as making asser- tions which are highly, encouraging with respect to American industrial conditions and prospects.
 My opinion" declares this invest,- gator. ''is that the United States has entered upon another period of trade expansion, which must continue fer several years, unless unforeseen disas- ters-such as general and persistent failure of the crops-should be encoun- tered" The facts on which this pre- dlction is based may be summed up briefly. They consist principally, of the plentiful supply of currency, the good prices secured by farmers, the likelihood that the railroads will do a heavy business in transporting the products of the soil and of the manu- featuring establishments which were so greatly enlarged during the boom" following the first inauguration of Mo Kinley. and the public confidence which is unmistakable, that the gen. eral policies of the last two federal ad- ministrations will be maintained.
 Commenting upon the foregoing the Philadelphia Bulletin says:
 This sentiment promises to prove by no means the least important factor in a forward industrial movement. Fur thermore it is to be remembered that, through immigration. in addition to the domestic birth-rate, the population which must be clothed, fed and sup piled with all the necessaries of life. is rapidly increasing. From 1890 to 1900 the number of consumers of the United States grew by about twelve millions-nearly one-third of the entire i population Of France. The estimate | put forth at Washington since the last ] census justify the belief that this rate of growth Is at least keeping up. Tn the year ending with October practi- cally a billion and a half worth of American products were exported, not | withstanding the falling off in the
 amount of breadstuffs sold abroad. With average exports of about $40, 1000, 900 daily, and with a constantly ex-
 banding home demand, the prophecies
 of this British inquirer regarding
 American prosperity do not seem al
 all unlikely to be fulfilled"

wild jump after his hat, landed on, his head. and. was killed,
 A few nights ago, the dispatches re- late. a manufacturer in Connecticut was in a hurry to reach his home af- ter he had Jeff his office. He was in an automobile and he hastehed along the road at a furious pace, just in time to dash in front of a railroad train. He was killed.
 American people are fairly we'll pois- ed, as a rule, but when going any where, whether for business or pleas ure. they always imagine they can't afford to lose any time. Consequently they furnish a daily chapter of fatal accidents.
 This minimizing hurry is not with out its ridiculous features. It is a common spectacle to see a man or woman rush across the street in front of an approaching car or locomotive, and then, having gained a point of safety on the other side by a mere hair turn and spend a minute or two looking at the car or train.
 There is no necessity whatever for the average man or woman to be in hurry to the extent of overlooking the element of caution.
 Every day in the week people can be seen rushing wildly for a street car, at the expense of their breathing apparatus and with danger to their heart action. The fact that another car will be along in five or. six min utes is never considered. There is al- ways anxiety to avoid a temporary wait on a street corner, and many life has been sacrificed by failing to appreciate the wisdom of waiting for the next car, Scores of people are killed or maimed annually through the mistaken notion that time is to be saved by putting forth undue and un- necessary exertion to catch a partic- ular street car or a train on a steam railroad. Ninety-nine times out of ev- cry one hundred instances of this char acter the victims are in no actual need of haste. They do not stop to consider the necessity Of husbanding their phy- sIcal strength and thus make 1t really more effective and more lasting. Mad haste to catch street cars or trains is a weakness that attacks most people. and in spite of repeated lessons show ing the folly of hurrying to save Q possible three or four minutes there continues to be victims.
 It does not pay to crowd on too much pressure for the heart and to put ones life and limbs in jeopardy, even if it is sought to save an hour. Trying to board moving ears and trains is a con- tinuaI source of supply for the acci- dent hospitals, but the people never saarrc tn loom Inc fact

LECTURE RECITAL
Prominent Pianist Presents PaFsifal
 at Presbyterian Church.

There was a helpful and inspiring Iecture-recitaf yesres day afternoon and evening at ~the Presbyterian church when Prof w. W3ugh Lauder talked and played to delighted audience. In the afternoon parts of 'Parsifal' were given and hearts were uplifsed beyond earsh's trials under the spell of the sublime music interpreted with so masterIy touch. Of the four sub jets presented perhaps the Prelude" was most graceful and delicate: though the March to the Holy GIau' was grand and majestic. The lecture was highly instructive and entertaining and clothed in most beautiful diction.
 The evening programme was entire ly of concert selections. The Weber overture was most masterfully pre- scented. Sapellnikon's Dance of the Elves" was given with unusually fine execution.
 Perhaps the finest exhibition of ar tistic conception was shown in the lofty presentation of the two Liszt numbers and the c sharp minor senate of Bee thoven. Certainly these furnished more study for the musician than any other numbers
 Paderew skis 'Nfnuet" was made more charming because of the delight ful little talk which preceded it. Pans Flute" and the "Berceuse" by Gott- schalk were two daintily played mum bers in lighter veein-
 Prof. Lauder is both a philosopher and a genius; cOnceding that genius is characteristic ability indicated by personal conception. The musically in- clined people will have cause to re- member long and with great pleasure the visit of this noted pianist

Face Your Difficulties.

When fortune smiles one day and
frowns the next, many a woman who
has been tenderly and luNuriously
reared finds herself forced to care for
herself in the most undreamed Of and
practical way. II she be to the man
ner born she goes bravely to work
and keeps her heart sunny and true.
SO that her face may reflect happy
qualities. She is too sensible to pine
and fret for what is lost, but turns to
the brightness that CLEANS every now
and then across her present pathway
and makes the most of it until she has
no time for useless regretting. You
can trust this kind Of woman in every
thing. She will do for any emergency
and has gsuuine strength and stabili-
ty, despite Ter gentle ways and ready

The Guest Room.

The guest room in our houses of to-
day should be. if not the best, "the
large uppec chamber" certainly one of
the best, away from noise of the street
in the city and in the country far from
the kitchen and the nursery. The chill
dren in household should consider the
guest room sacred. They should not be
allowed to enter it or to knock at the
door without first consulting an older
head. Even the hostess may spoil the
loveliest guest room by repeated in
quiries. One is safe in concluding that
q guest wishes to be alone when Occu-
pying his room. Overentertainment is
worse than none at all-House Beauti-

AN INDIAN DUEL.
The Famous Fight Between Chief
Carpenter and Price.

The methods of fighting duelS among
the Indians said an Old frcntiersman
We're varied. each tribe having its own
peculiar custom. Some of the tribes
learned to fight according TO the code
of the white man. however, among
these the Choctaws or Cherokees.
which reminds me OF the famous duel
in July of 1883. when tie celebrated
Choctaw chief Carpenter, fought near
the Pine Creek Indian agency with Il
white man named Price. Chief Car
penter was a splendid type of Indian.
tall and straight and comely, and he
had been we'll educated and had natu-
raj talents and natural instincts that
put him head and shoulders over his
Indian associates.
AS usual. this trouble was started
by Il disagreement over some trivial
matter which caused a dispute and
ended III the White man calling his
red brother a liar. Throughout the
trouble the big Indian had X manned
perfectly calm, although considerably
an9ered. and as the insult fell he &azed
eoldly into the eyes OF Price and said:
Your blood shall wash cut that
word
'"Whenever you're ready, say the
word cried Price. You can do your
washing right here and now if you
please
Not now, sir, but tomorrow morn
ing. when the sun peeps over the top
of that Wild plum tree, you must be
here and without fail.
The report Of the duel spread far
and wide. and at an hour considerably
before sunrise Il large crowd had gath
cred On the dueIin@ ground to witness
the encounter. Price was the first on
the field, and for a time it looked us if
there would be no Carpenter. But.
true to his indian blood, tie chief dis
daincd coming too soon at the appoint
ed place as much as he would have
feared coming too late, and it WAS just
as the first rays of the sun stole over
the soft green of the tree that the red
man stood in place Not Il word was
spoken by either man. Both drew their
pistols, and, raising the weapons, they
fired almost simultaneously. CarpeH-
ter reeled, but with a mighty effort
checked tendency to spin round. and,
staggering. fired as the crack of his op-
ponent's pistol sounded for the second
time. This time Price jumped high in
the air and landed on his face stone
dead
with a wild shout the crowd press
ed forward to surround the lucky chief,
but before aid could reach him he fell
senseless. Price had been shot through
the heart, clean as whistle, a remark
able shot considering the condition of
the Indian when he made it, and a
shot Carpenter could have made in
the first place without doubt had he
been as determined to kill as Price
proved himself when his bullet buried
itself in the Indians breast"

The Vice of NnxEinx.

Nagging may or may not be vice
of the thin, as a famous physician sug-
gests, but that there is some truth in
his theory that there is a scientific
basis for this ugly habit seems likely.
Perfect health" he says, has as one
of it's factors content of mind A nerv-
GUS man or woman who is anxious,
discontented, gloomy, dissatisfied wor-
ried from any cause, cannot enjoy good
health. This mental turmoil produces
as one of it's primary effects on the
body an inability to digest food prop
erly The blood which should supply
the force necessary for the function
of digestion is continually drawn away
from the stomach by excitement in
the BRAIN and the woman who nags
suffers While there be those whose
tendency to lay on fat is so great that
nothing will stop it a nagging man or
woman is generally thin. Their habit
of mind has partially starved their
bodies"
