USE OF ODD MOMENTS.
Practical Woman Explains How She
IL. rins for EVERYTHING.

PrASSlG2t woman 6<P'a'"e wv
Has Time for Everything.
Il don't know how you manage II,
said one woman to another. you Ill
ways seem to know what is going on
in the world, and to be able to e
the newest books. and to keep up
your music, while | v have Time
for anything but my children and my
housekeeping"
The other woman smiled. 81 can't
see why you don't have time" she
replied. your family is smaller man
mine and We both have a housemaid
and . cook. Suppose we talk II over.
1t turned out in the discussion that
ensued that one woman got her ram.
lily OF young people up bright ana
early. so that at breakfast time the
conversation could be about topics OF
worldwide Interest. and then after
wards when the family had dispersed
until lunch, and the mornings WORK
was done, she could take a quiet nour
and read or practice. In fact. as re-
CARDS her reading. she was never
without a book or magazine at hano
ready to be picked up IL even Tor .

In the evening. after the last e
of the day she gathered together her
young people and read the most I'm.
portant news and this was followed
by an informal discussion. This took
but q short time and the family thus
kept In touch with the doings OF the
great world. This woman realized
a truth that does not come to every
one. namely, that = good newspaper
is the connecting.rod between provin'

that. ever II one live In . small place,

other. we never can AFFORD them. We
depend upon the lending libraries"
But a dozen books from q lihrar7

When the wise woman heard that
remark she smiled. What did you

me last week? The price of that
would cover the books | buy for six

II Your Ship Came In.

II your ship came in to-day
II the ship for which you yearn
III the sea at dawn is gray.
When the waves at sunset burn,
If IT swung to harbor now
With its sails dropped wearywise-
Would the sea not lose, somehow.
Half its glory to your eyes?
II your ship no more should sail
Up and down the distant deeps
Racing with the rushing gale
Where the Jade evI. sIuuw leans
II II should no longer drift
Where the calm sea stretches blus
And the dim horizons lift
Would the sea seem fair to you?
Ho! Your ship-if II came in
All majestic, full of grace.
And you heard the hawser spin
As the anchor sank to place.
II Its voyaging We're done
And the cargo all were yours
Would the sea-. by moon or sun.
Hold for you It's hopes and lures?
II your ship came in o-day
And you knew that all Won drea,.
Now at last in harbor lay
All AS perfect as II seemed
You would envy those who wait
Ready for the joyous hail.
Those who watch with hearts rlate

H~armsworth Criticizes Americans.
Sir Alfred Harmsworth. who is an
expert on the subject of motor cars.
has been noting carefully the merits
and dement's of the American ma
chine during his visit to this coun.
try and has come to the conclusion
that 1t is an absurd waste of money
for Americans to import an automo
bile instead OF purchasing the domes-
tic article. Indeed" says Sir Alfred,
Il can not understand the folly Of
Americans importing cars and paying
such r~idiculously high prices for them.
when. as everybody knows. the larger
portion of these e%xorbitant prices
goes into the pockets of Paris mid
dlemen of more than doubtful reputa-
ton. 1t may be. as Barnum said, that
the American people like to be hum
bugged."

SENATOR BURROWS TROUBLE.

Senator Burton of Kansas is the lat /
est member Of the greatest deliber-
alive body on earth to become involy
ed with law. He is accused by fed !
eral grand jury OF the crime of accept |
ing brides. That is, the indictments
that have been found against him
charge that he has accepted five
checks of $500 each for interceeding
with the postoffice department for n
Kansas corporation. The penalty, if
Senator Barton is found guilty, is
little matter of prison sentence Of
not more than two years and fine
not more than 100000.
Senator Burton took his seat March
4, 1904. and the alleged offenses were
committed between Nov. %. 1902, AMI
and March 26, 1908. 1t can hardly be
said in exteuation, as was said in the
Dietrich case, that Burton was not
Senator at the time he accepted the
money. In an interview in his own
defense Senator Burton says that he
as a lawyer and served it entirely in
that capacity. 1t was as the legal rep
resentative for that company that he
accompanied the president thereof 10
the postoffice department to make In
quiries regarding the stading of his
client
1t appears 10 have been very easy
for Mr. Burton to make swift change
from the character Of senator to the
character of private attorney. Unfor-
tunately, though, the officers of the
law do not seem to have recognized
the possibility of such Tightening
cnange. They hardly think that Bur-
ton the lawyer could possibly be as IN
fuential as Burton the senator. AID
a whole lot Of people in the country
will agree with them.
1t is quite possible too that the en-
ploying corporation had a faint idea
that Burton the senator could help it
Whether or not Mr.. Burton has been
guilty Of an intentional crime the
thing has very ugly look. Appara

Rheumatism In Utah.

Frisco, Utah. May 2nd-There is a
great deal of Rheumatism in this and
neighboring states. and this painful
disease has crippled many strong
man and woman among an otherwise
healthy people.
Recently. however. there has been
introduced into Utah a remedy for
rheumatism which bids fair to stamp
out this awfully painful complaint.
The name of this new remedy Is
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and it has al
ready wrought some wonderful cures.
Right here in Frisco there is case
OF Mr.. Grace who had rheumatism
so bad in his feet that he could hardly
walk. He tried many remedies in
vain, but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured
him.
His wife says: I'VE both had Kid
ney Trouble. and my husband had the
rheumatism so bad that he could
hardly walk. We used Dodd's Kid
ney Pills with much benefit. We have
tried many remedies, but none have
done us SO much good as Dodd's Kid
ney Pills."
Similar reports come from all over
the state, and 1t would seem as If
Rheumatism had at last been con.
Quered.

How to Keep House.

With all the luxuries and pleasures
of this life, its big enjoyments and its
smaller comforts, there is an Offset or
antithesis which we have to contend
with in the form of aches and pains.
In some way and by some means
every one has touch of them in
some form at some time. Trifing as
some of them may be, the risk is
that they will grow to something
greater and rack the system with con-
slant torture. There is nothing, there
fore, of this kind that we have a
right to trife with. Taken in time.
the worst forms of pains and aches
are easily subdued and cured by the
free use of st. Jacobs Oil. No well
regulated household ought to be with
out a bottle of this great remedy Tor
pain. 1t is the specific virtue of pene-
tration in st. Jacobs Oil that carries
1t right to the pain spot and effects a
prompt cure even in the most painful
cases of rheumatism. Neuralgia, Lum-
baSo. Sciatica. You want 1t also in
the house at all times for hurts. cuts
and wounds, and the house that al
ways has it keeps up sort of insur-
ance against pain.
