She was wrong, however. Mr.. Bow
ser was still hungry, and he had been
thinking that the great professor had
felt those germs and his ten-dollar bill
too suddenly. He wouldn't admit it to
Mrs. Bowser for the world, but the
longer he dwelt on the thought the
more he felt that he had been played
for sucker. He was ready to boil
over when he noticed the book in her
hand, and asked:
Are you reading up on rats and
roaches?"

exclaimed, as he sprang to his feet. 'If

Keep quiet, Mr.. Bowser. The more
excitement the more germs. I find that
the professor was probably correct. You
are short and fat and stout and of f1orid
complexion. You are subject to germs,
and the remedy is raw turnip and sage
tea You may have to continue the diet
for a month. 1 beg your pardon If 1
seemed to doubt your word"
Mr. Bowser knew that she was try
ing to let him down easy and had found
nothing in the book to coTroborate the
professors diagnosis, but she had work
ed it so that he found it hard to say
anything in reply. He did the next best
thing. He went down stairs after more
sage tea and the remainder of his turn
ip, and he fetched them up and sat
down and ate and drank and pretended
to great enjoyment. Growing better
natured after a time, he said:

is always aiIing me?"

CASUALTIES OF A YEAR.

The year about to close is one al
most. II not quite, unprecedented in
the list of deaths due to preventable
causes. In a number of instances the
enormous death roll has stimulated to
the supplying of safeguards and pre-
ventives, but that the lessons which
led to action on the part of officials
in cities and states and on the part
Of the federal government were ex-
pensive is shown by the following
figures compiled by the st. Louis
Globe Democrat: without including
the last week. the accidents in North
America in which five or more per-
sons were killed this year caused the
death of S,224 persons. The burning
of the Iroquois theater, Chicago, and
the wreck of the Duquesne flyer, near
Pittsburg, occurred in the last week
OF 1903, and their death roll of 500
is not counted in the figures given.
THE wreck of the steamship Nogre
with GAG lost, is included, most of the
passengers having tickets for this coun-
try. BY far the worst accident of 1904
was the destruction of the New York
excursion steamer General Slocun,
which burned in June, with a loss of
1,o20 lives. The worst railway accidents
were q COlllSlOu at willard, KAN, II
killed; collision at Jackson, Utah, "a
killed; collision at Kewanee, Miss, 43
killed; derailment at Litchfeld, Ill, "a
killed; collision at Midvale, N. J., 10
killed; Sunday school excursion col
lision at Chicago, 20 killed; train
through bridge at Eden, Col, "a killed;
collision at Hodges, Tenn, IS killed,
and, collision at Warrensburg, Mo-, %
killed.
''Tornadoes during the year killed So
at Moundville, Ala; II at st. Paul;
at jamestown, N. Y, and 90 in eastern
Cuba. The worst tornado in the Uni
ted States occurred in January, in Ala
bama- The worst explosion was in a
mine at Cheswick, Pa, which cost 1856
lives. An internal machine explosion
at Independence, Col, killed H. The
worst elevator accident was in St
Louis, with s killed. Ten persons were
suffocated by coal gas at Williams
town, Pa. There was hardly a month
without a loss of numerous lives in
tenement house fires. Nine school chill
dren were suffocated in a vault at
Pleasant Ridge, Ohio. Eight children
were drowned while bathing at Alton,
Ill. The average number of deaths in
these larger accidents of the year was
S25 a month";

LESSONS FOR THE NEW YEAR.

But a few more hours and the bells
will toll the passing of the year of
1904. And then 1.-The wild bells will ring
out" in gladstone proclamation. And
the question comes: docs it mean a
new era in my life, OF is tomorrow Just
as any other day that has gone by"
Cad. we're getting DID, comments
a grabbed old Topeka lawyer famous for
his sharp filings. AS he said this he
was gazing on a calendar for 1905.
There is a lesson in that little sentence.
1t is the old lesson that the span of life
is short, and early the decay.
Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon in his
funeral sermons always asks for a les
son in death. He always says that men
should note the passing of the body
and should make the most of life while
it passes.
And every man and every woman and
every child is standing at the bier of
1904 today. He will hear its sermon in
the tolling bells within a few hours
Will he hear the lesson?
It is worth while living. 1t is worth
while doing right. There is a satisfac-
ton in fighting a good fight, be ye
victors or vanquished. 1t lies with you
and you alone, whether you shall be
happy. Tomorrow the whole world
turns e new leaf. Turn with it

THE MAGAZINE CRAZE.

| The magazine habit, you see it
| everywhere. 1t is subtle in its growth
and hold or the American people and
levies tribute without stint upon our
pocketbooks. There is no field of en-
deavor or interest which does not pos
sess a representative magazine devoted
in its entirety to that field of endeavor
or interest. No sooner was the auto
mobile invented than we found upon
our reading tables a magazine which
stood for the sports of the chauffeur;
when the strenuous life appeared in
our midst we bought magazine dedi-
Gated to the God of Success and later
as trusts and the dizzy whirls of Wall
street finance occupied our minds the
pages of the magazine were used by
the financier to speak to the people of
| the inner workings of the Wall street
deals.
The magazine habit is insidious in
it's touch. 1t creates the habit of
hasty perusal and catch-as-catch-can
| judgment. 1t educates BEAUTIFULLY as
well as merely casually. 1t supplants
the book in the library and encroaches
upon the field usually assigned to the
daily press.
AS one browses over the news stand
one picks up a new magazine for al
most every day in the week. Con-
tinually new magazines are called to
our attention that we had had no idea
ever existed before. They shine for
brief minute and If the advertiser can
not be coaxed between the two COW
ers, die out with as much quietude as
the flicker of candle
The advertiser ever quick to catch
the popular trend and make it re-
bound to him and his with profit has
eagerly seized hold of the pages of
the magazine and made it possible for
the magazine reader to purchase 164
pages of reading matter for 10 cents.
| Maybe in years to come the missionary
societies will display long ribbons with
the amount expended in the magazine
habit as they do with our other great
American habits and tell to the Grant
public to what good use the money
could be directed in other ways.

PLENTY OF WORK.

If the coming session of the legis-
Iature does all the work which has
been cut out for it, and does it in 80
days, as the '1eaders" profess to be-
lieve it can do, it will have to tear
up the track at more sensational
rate than it has ever been torn up be-
fore. 1t will have to reconcile ire
concilable factions and surnlount in
surmountable obstacles. The idea
that the coming session of the legis-
lature is going to do things on a much
more brilliant scale than any former
legislature is subject to amendment
and debate.
In the first place, the legislature is
pledged to economy. At the same
time, the strongest kind of endorse
ments are coming in for this expen-
diture or that expenditure, and it will
be hard to stop the logrolling when
the members get together. Each ap-
preparation will help all the other ap-
preparations.
All the members of the legislature
will ride on free railway passes, OF
course, and the legislature may there
fore not enact any very terrible laws
regulating the railroad business OF
the country.
The CLIQUE which has assisted to the
Kelly methods of conducting the state
treasury is in control, and therefore
there is the less hope that any laws
will get through to prevent the graft
from that job.
On the questions of taxation, reap
portionment and natural gas there is
so much difference of opinion, and so
many important features that there is
great uncertainty about the needed leg
islation on these lines.

The total importations of this coun-
try for eleven months are $685., So, $50.
against 1917, 725, 69S in the corresponding
months of last year. The fact that the
imports for the single month of No
vember, 1904. were SIS. 20S. 172 seems to
Justify the statement that the total i'm
ports for the calendar year will be over
one billion dollars The greatest in

food, chiefly sugar and coffee, which
divide honors about equally in the in

Mrs. Bowser decided to pursue the
matter no further. but he did not let
things stop at that point. Just then
the cat came in, having been victorious
in her scrap with a one-eyed feline,
and after making a kick at her and
missing her by a yard and almost fall
ing on his head, he said:
You bet I'll pursue this diet! If
there's such a thing as bouncing out
these germs I'm going to do it, and
you can rfdicule and be hanged to you.
I was going to make the tea and tur-
nip last me till after breakfast in the
morning, but now I'll go over and
order two bushels of the one and ten
pounds of the other. If you are dying
to be sarcastic I'll give you something
to be real smart Overt"

BowsER,s LATEST FAD.
His Health. Demands q Change OF
Diet

81 somehow thought you would be

other evening. as Mr.. Bowser was get

| Il have brough my own dinner, as
it happens" he replied. as he took

| What do you mean?'
| Just what I say. Be kind enough
to hand this package of sage to the
cook and instruct her to make me a
quart of tea This turnip shall eat In
| its raw state
| For the lands sake, but what new
| fad have you got now!" she exclaimed
as he preceded her to the dining room.
Mrs. Bowser, I have spoken to you
on several occasions about making use
of that word fad never have fads.
1 never had one in my life, and I don
want to hear the word again.
well, you are about to change your
| diet, it seems, and what is that but a
fad?"
st am going to change my diet be-
cause the doctor has found certain
germs in my blood and I wish to expel
them. I fail to see how you can make

| az met our family doctor on the street
| this afternoon when I was out, and we
| talked for five minutes. He didn't say
anything about finding certain germs
in your blood. What germs are they
pray?"
Il didn't say that our family doctor
-
him. Professor Hammerdinger, the
great German specialist on blood dis
eases, happened into the office this af-
ternoon, and had hardly shaken hands
with him when he spoke of the germs.
His professional instinct told him they
were present. The germs are those of

Ibid the professors professional in
stincts discover a fee of ten dollars at
the same timer" asked Mrs. BowSer in
her softeSt tones.
'"There you go! That's you'll" shout
ed Mr. BoWSer, as his face began to
redden. AS a matter of fact, he had
paid over that very sum, but he didn't
propose to let Mrs. Bowser know any
thing about it.
'sWell, then, If this great German
what did he tell you?"
''That 1 must adopt a rigorous diet
at once"
And sage tea and raw turnip will
expel the germs, will they?"
"They certainly will. Pass the
sugar and milk. I shall follow his d.
rections for couple of weeks ana give
them a fair trial, and if you have any
sarcasm to shoot off I hope you Will
aim at somebody else.'
Mrs. Bowser said no more at the
time. She realized that Mr.. Bowser
would at least start in on the thing
despite all she could urge to the CON
trary, and words would only provoke
him. He was a hungry man, and the
viands appealed to him as never be-
fore, but he had set his stakes.
He slipped away at his sage tea,
which was dreadfully insipid to him,
and nibbled away at the raw turnip
he had bought for a cent at the gro
Gerry, but the look on his face was far
from being one of satisfaction.
When they had returned to the sit
ting room and got seated for the even

cyclopedia and began to read with
much interest, while he tried to enjoy

When the New York Journal of Com
merce asked Mr.. j. ]. Hill why so
many railroad accidents occurred, he re-
piled that most casualties were due to
disobedience of orders. The Southern
Pacific railroad undertook recently to
ascertain precisely what percentage of
orders was obeyed. and its officers were
astonished to find on one division that
1t did not amount to two-thirds. In
nearly Sc cases out of every hundred
an engine man would run past a dam
ger signal or commit some other viola
ton of the rules. When the employees
found they were being watched, and
their advancement depended on their
discipline. they paid more attention to
orders On the entire system the per-
centage of obedience was raised to 96.6
in June and 99.5 in October.

1t is one thing to say that trusts are
a natural development of commercial
life. says the Philadelphia Record, fol-
lowing the ordinary corporation as
that was evolved from the partnership,
and that followed the individual
trader 1t is a very different thing to
say that legislation is powerless to
cure evils that experience has demon
strated- The law of gravity cannot be
repealed by human efforts, but in spite
of 1t roof may be held high in the
air by walls that are strong enough.
