AT NIGHT.

It's queer how, in the daytime, when
the sun is warm and bright,
Things always look so dif'rent from
the way they look at night
When Molly's mean, and you'd just
snake her if she weren't a girl,
You just say mean things back, that
get her in a perfect whirl.
You call her Teachers pet" and say
her dresses are too short,
And Girls are no good, anyway" and
things you know will hurt.
But you're sorry that you said it when
the stars are shining bright,
And you are all alone in bed, and wake
up-in the night.
When sister gets the biggest piece
the one you wanted, too
And mother takes her out to drive, in
stead of taking you,
You try to make your tears hold out
till they come home again,
Till mother sees how much you cared
and how she gave you pain.
But when her gentle hands have
tucked you lovingly in bed,
And when her kiss is on your lips and
all your prayers are said,
Oh, then, how different things look
and then how bad you feel!
AS mean as boys you read about, tina
lie and cheat and steal!
You don't think in the daytime, whe1
your mothers close in sight,
But you're sorry that you worried he
when you wake up-at night.
l wonder if grown-up folks feel as lii
tie children do,
And if they ever wake at night, an
grieve little, too.
And if the things that in the da
seemed to them only right,
They'd give the world to have undon
when they wake up-at night?

Companion.

Mrs. n. C. Chatfeld-T Taylor of Chicago
Announces She Will Open a Shop.
Mrs.H G. atfield-Taylor, young
society woman of Chicago, who is al
most as we'll known in New York and
Paris as she is in her home city, has
announced that she is going to engage
in the bookbinding business in this city
She has purchased the necessary ma
chinery, has set UP tables and benches
in her shop, at 10 Van Buren, street;
has laid in a stock of blue aprons and,
best of all, she says, begins work with
sufficient orders to keep her occupied
for many weeks to come.
Mrs. Enid George, an English girl
whom Mrs. ChatfeldTaylor met in
Paris eight months ago, is her partner.
Miss George is an enthusiastic about
bookbinding as her Chicago acquaint-
ance. She was about to open a shop
il the French capital, but after several
business talks with Mrs. Chatfeld-
Taylor agreed to add her name to the
new firm whose fortunes are on the
verge of local launching. Miss George
will arrive in this city on Friday.

people nowadays are disposed to view
with more charity than a hundred
years ago instances of suicide result
ing from other motives. Indeed,
there is always a tendency to deal
gently with the memory of those who,
when confronted by trouble or dis
grace, have sought refuge in death,
and to follow the example of the jap
anese in regarding their offenses as
mot proven"
Even the suicides for whom there is
the least excuse are accorded by the
law the Indulgence of verdict of
temporary insanity, and receive Chris
tan burial instead of being subjected
10 the indignities prescribed formerly
by law for those who had taken their
own lives. These consisted of thrust
inc the suicide at midnight, without
PRAYER, doubled up, into a hole three
feet long and three feet wide, dug at
the center of the crossing of two high
roads. with a stone upon the face and
q sharp stake driven through the body.
A man of the name Of Williams was
disposed of in this fashion on Jan.
y. 1912. in London at the spot where
New road crosses Ratcliff highway,
the scene being described at length
in the London Times of the following
day.
Monarchs Who Have Suicided.
At least three European monarchs
are known to have taken their own
lives during the last 100 years, among
them being the late Sultan Abdul
Assn of Turkey, who killed himself
with a pair of scissors, and a dozen
princes of the hood, including the
late king of Naples brother, Prince
Gaetan of Bourbon, married to the
Infanta Isabella of Spain, and who
cut his throat in his wife's presence.
Other n, table instances Of suicide are
these of Gen. Sir Hector Macdonald,
the late duke of Bedford. Count VOL

Of the court of Vienna; the marquis of

frontier. But fortunately he re-
covered from the severe wound which
he had inflicted upon himself in a
moment of despair when he saw his
army in full rout, and lived for a num-
Der of years longer, honored both at
home and abroad as a particularly gal
liant and splendid specimen of the old
French soldier.

Suicide by Royal Order.

The notion that it is possible to
preserve by means of suicide honor
that would otherwise be forfeited is,
however, by no means confined to
Japan, though it is the only country in
the world where hara-kiri prevails.
Thus in China princes, great mobiles,
and mandarins of the highest rank, if
they are considered by the dowager
empress as meriting death, are permit
ted to put an end to their lives by
means of strangulation or poison,
thus escaping the infamy OF decapita"
ton. In Turkey and other Mohamme-
dan countries dignitaries whose dc
mise was desired by their rulers were
accustomed to receive from the latter,
with much ceremony, the gift of "a
silken bowstring, to be used by them
for the purpose of strangulatlon, and
even on the continent of Europe the
officer or noble when struck or other
wise insulted by his sovereign, or by a
prince of the blood, and who is de-
barred by the rank Of his assailant
from seeking satisfaction by means OF
duel, is required by unwritten law to
low out his brains as the only way
Of preserving intact his honor, for a
blow or an insult unavenged is con-
sidered among the higher classes in
most of the continental countries of
Europe as disqualifying man from
any further association with the peo-
pie of his caste, and as entailing the
most cruel species of ostracism.

TOLD BY THE HOME.
Arrangement Shows Personality Of
the Family.

If an ordinarily discerning person
could inspect any home, he would
perceive readily the characteristics,
personalities and ideas of its occu-
pants, though strangers to him and,
for the time being. absent. says writ
er in the Cooking School Magazine.
Orators know the significance of
the pause in impressive speech. In
like manner does much space be-
tween articles of furniture and still
more space between pictures and or
naments add dignity and peace. Any
article bought just to fill up space is
placarded with the intention. On the
other hand, who can comprehend the
far-reaching influence, moral as well
as artistic, of truly perfect outline
or harmonious combination of col
ors?
The ancients worshiped their house
hold gods. This was the poeticaI ex-
preston of a truth. Every home has
a spirit whose silent influence even
the chance visitor feels. Who can
fail to see the beauty and peace in
the domestic picture, where Haw-
thorne and Whipple picked currants
biscuit and Mrs. WfippIe laid the
table?
Harmony in the home depends up
on the extent to which ideals are held
in common, or to the amount of sym
pathy which each member has for the
ideals of the other members. Where
ideals clash, there exists divorce
which no court of law can make more
sure and every sensitive soul in such
a home withers under its influence.
No two human beings are Just
alike; no single groove is fit for ev-
erybody; and no real competition
should create envy. Every home
should encourage individual, indepen-
dent growths. Ape-like imitation be-
Titles; independent application devel-
ops.

TELLS OF MEXICAN GOATS.
Consular Agent Gives Facts About the
Profits of the Industry.

Profits of the Industry.
Consular Agent Headen writes from
Puebla, Mex, as follows:
THE ordinary domestic goat, so
well known in the United States, is
the species raised throughout Mexico.
1t is valued for its pelt, its tallow,
and it's flesh, both fresh and dried.
AS yet no use has been made of eth
er horns or hoofs. In the vicinity of
San Luis Potosi the entrails have
been spun into long strings of So
called catgut, and the finer and more
delicate strings have been profitably
exported by mail, in small parcels, TO
Chicago and New York.
THE Angora breed is not appre-
ciated in Mexico, though it finds favor
in western Texas, near the Mexican
border. If of pure blood and If neg
lected during the season for pulling
it is apt to leave its hair scattered
upon the scrub and brush. Further
more whether pure or crossed, it is
more of a sheep than goat, its skin
being less than one-fourth as valuable
as ordinary goatskins. This destroys
the value of the Angora in Mexico.
THE ordinary goat, when slaught-
cred, yields four pounds of dried meat
and six pounds OF refined tallow,
which, together with the skin. are

progress. lie is, especially. the idol of
the young men of the country.
1T is, therefore, not at all surprising
that as the voters contrast these two
candidates they should be irresistibly
drawn to one-to Roosevelt-and should
be repelled from or become indifferent
to his antagonist, Parker. Such is the
present trend of the campaign and it is
decidedly favorable to President Roose-
welt. No reasonable doubt of his elec-
ton exists or is entertained by anyone

DON'T FORGET CONGRESS.
1t Is Very Important that 1t Should
BE RepMbIican.

In the great political contest which
occurs in this country every four years,
and which is now on. the election of
President is apt to overshadow all other
interests. This ought not to be so. The
President is the head of the executive
branch of the government, but the legis-
lative branch is equally as important.
Republicans should remember that it is
as important to hold Congress as it is
to elect the President. The election of
Judge Parker would mean much more
than the induction OF his personality into
that high office. His election would mean
the election of a Democratic House of
Representatives and this would be most
unfortunate, because:
First, the Democratic party. composed
as it is of all the distracted elements of
the country. is not capable of success
fully administering the affairs of this
government. II has not the capacity to
deal with the great problems that now
confront us. Second, Democratic
House of Representatives would mean
that the entire legislative machinery of
that body would be placed in the control
or the South; the Speaker. the committee
on rules, and all the important commit
tees. as well as the chairmanships of the
same, would be composed largely of
Southern men and the great interests of
the North would be subordinated to
Southern policies. In answer to this it
may be said that a Democratic House
could do no harm. as the Senate would
still be Republican and could prevent
any unwise or radical legislation. But
Democratic House could prevent Republi-
can legislation, and great harm might
result from that The election of n Re
publican Congress is scarcely second in

spEcrAcLEs LONG IN USE.
Aid to Eyesisht Has Been Known for
Many Centuries.


Though the use of spectacles is rap
idly increasing in the United States
and. in fact, in every civilized land, it
is in Germany that they are most
common. That is because the Ger
many type is so much harder to read
than the Roman.
This circumstance is one of the
strongest arguments put forth by the
German advocates of the return to
Roman type in the Empire of the
Kaiser for originally the letters used
in Germany were exactly the same as
those used by the English, the French,
the Spanish-and in fact all the Euro
pean nations save the Russians, the
Greeks. the Turks and a few small
principalities in the Southeast.
Nobody knows who invented spec
tacles, or in what age he lived. In
"Quo Vadis" the Emperor Nero is
represented as using an emerald cum
ningly cut as we use a monocle, and
more sober writings than this story
bear witness to his use of the stone in
that way.
There is record that Roger Bacon,
the friar who devoted more of his time
to science than to religion, was the
first man to make spectacles in the
year 1880. and it is probable that it
was he who first made practical spec
tacles. Yet on a tomb in Florence,
dated 1890, there is an inscription
which awards the honor to another
in these words;
Here lies Salvino degli Armati, in.
ventor of spectacles. May God par
don his sins
By 1900 spectacles were not at all
uncommon in Holland and Germany,
though the very rich had used them
more than a full century earlier. 1t
was Ben Franklin who invented the
comfort glass the lenses of
which are bisected horizontally, the
upper part being cut to make it easy
TO view objects at a distance while
the lower part is cut to facilitate the
examination of nearby objects.

CANDIDATES COMPARED.
Why Roosevelt Is Moro Popular than
Parker,

The New York Sunday Democrat, a
newspaper that recently bolted Parker
md came out for Roosevelt, in giving
the reasons why the Parker campaign
is languishing and the Roosevelt cam
paign is booming, says:
Judge Parker has few of the attri-
butes of popularity; Theodore Roosevelt
has them ALL
Parker is timid: Roosevelt is brave.
Parker is controlled by friends and
patrons; Roosevelt is independent.
Parker represents no policy and has
no political record; Roosevelt Is one of
the acknowledged progressive statesmen
of the century and his record is the rec
ord of the sunshine years of militant
and advancing Americanism.
''As there is practically no one to Wig
orously oppose there is no one to active
ly defend Judge Parker as political
standard-bearer. Theodore Roosevelt in
vites the fire of partisan enemies and at
tracts to his support thousands of pat

unwise candidate, an unfortunate candi
