AN ARBITRARY TYRANT.

Will of the People.

This Aut0crat Exists Solely by the
Will Of the People.
And it came to pass that in the very
height Of modern times an arbitrary
tyrant ruled over a great country call
ed America. The name Of this tyrant
was Every bodydoesit, and all the in
habitants of the land bowed themselves
to his will.
Terror of the autocrat caused grown

studied, wearing out precious eyesight,
cramping growing organs, yet mothers
whispered under their breath the name
Of Everybodydoesit and the evil went
on. Men bought houses and European
passages, automobiles and other ex-
pensive luxuries, the cost of which was
out of all proportion to their income.
"Everybodydoesit" was the explana-
ton they gave.
SOrriest Of all was the case of the
young girls. They patronized I'M
wholesome plays, read books produced
by diseased minds, they overdressed.

time. Everybodydoesit." they said.
And thus it was in all classes of soci-
ETY. throughout the broad land. All
men and women, young and old, recog-
nized the sway of Everybodydoesit and
bowed their necks to his yoke.-Phila-

INDIA RUBBER.
It's Form of Structure which Permits
to Re- Ella

Its Form of Structure Which Permits
1t to Be Elastic.
Modern physics teach us that the
molecules of all bodies are in state of
incessant motion; that the intimate
structure of matter is, in fact, a repro
duetion on an infinitely minute scale of
the revolving suns and planets.
In gases and liquids this motion is
most extensive in range, but in solids
the movements of the molecules are
more restrained, and they merely os-
cillate or rotate about certain mean
position, the range Of motion being
strictly governed by the attractions
producing it.
If by the pull of an outside force the
molecules are drawn out beyond the
limit of their mutual attractions the
body is broken, but within this limit it
will recover itself when the pull ceases.
We may regard the particles of rub
Der as revolving in circles. When it is
stretched these orbits become elliptic,
returning to the circular form when
released. AS then this substance pos
sesses a very wide range of variation
of molecular distance without rupture
1t is eminently elastic.

SCOTS
L M UISION

SCOTS Emulsion is the
means of life and of the en-
joyment of life of thousands of
men, women and children.
To the men SCOTS Emul-
sion gives the flesh and
strength SO necessary for the
cure of consumption and the
repairing of body losses from
any wasting disease.
For women SCOTS Emul-
sion does this and more. 1t is
a most sustaining food and
tonic for the special trials that
women have to bear.
To children SCOTS Emul-
sion gives food and strength
for growth of flesh and bone
and blood. For pale girls,
for thin and sickly boys SCOTS
Emulsion is a great help.

A LOGICAL SAVAGE.
The Way He Silenced a Missionary
In an Argument.


In an Argument.
II used to know in Australia an in
telligent and interesting missionary"
said an English nobleman. HE and l
were talking one day about the ma
tives Of New Guinea, and he told me
how one of these natives had stumped
him in a certain argument. 1t seems
that he had accosted the native and
urged him to let himself be civilized.
"'But what good the native asked,
will this civilization Of yours do me?
"'Well,' said the missionary, you
will cease, for one thing. to idle all
your time away You will learn the
delights of honest labor
"'What good will the labor do me?
Through it you will gradually ac-
cumulate money, and in time, with
frugality. you will possess much store
Of honestly acquired riches
"The native was still unconvinced.
What good will the riches do me? was
his next question.
"They,' said the missionary, will
enable you to cease from work at last
and to spend the rest of your days in
well earned rest
"The native laughed.
"Tt seems to me- he said, that If /
did as you say I would be taking a
mighty roundabout course to get to the
place / started FROM"

TRAINING VOICES.


They Do Pupils.
"Ninety-five per cent of all vocal
teachers are quacks," said an old mu-
stefan. Few singers would doubt the
assertion. Probably in no other kind
of work can a man who knows practi-
cally nothing about subject do SO
quickly lucrative amount Of teach
ing. There are many common types
the piano teacher who cannot get
enough pupils to make a living, the
broken down old time singer, the dere-
lict Of the concert halls, who never
could sing himself, and many more.
Their half hour lessons may be said to
consist one-third Of chat and gossip,
one-third of scales and exercises and
one-third of the singing of the pupils
favorite songs, all interspersed with
just enough commentator and criti-
cism to keep the pupils good opinion
Of both himself and Of her teacher.
There are teachers whose training has
not only ruined voices. but temporarily
harmed general health as well. Over
against these charlatans of the profess
sion there are conscientious men and
women who can detect faults in a
voice and know how to correct them
and who work carefully and enthusi-
astically for each individual pupil.
1t is not easy to tell the good teacher
from the quack. and you will find BIT
ter early experiences in many a sue
cessful singers career.-Leslie's Month

In 1853, in the ninety-sixth year Of
her age, died Jean Countess Of Rox-
burghe. She was not very remarka-
BILE woman, but her memory is pre-
served on account Of her long widow
hood, which lasted seventy-one years.
Her father. the first Lord Tweeddale,
fought at Marston Moor in 1914.
This Countess of Roxburghe's long
widowhood is insignificant compared
with that Of certain Agnes Skinner.
According to an inscription in Gambler
well church. this worthy woman died
in 1499 at the age Of 119 years. having
survived her husband only eight years
less than century.

Moy Hee Returns from Visit to Native
Land

After an extended visit to Canton,
the place Of his birth, Moy Hee, China
man, late consular agent of his GOV
eminent in Minneapolis, thirty-second
degree Mason, and proprietor of the
largest Chinese restaurant in this town
and st. Paul, returned yesterday to the
place of his adoption. He spoke very
Interestingly of his travels, and was
brimful of enthusiasm over the recon
struction Of his restaurant at No. 255
First avenue S.
Before leaving this country he ar
ranged for the redeeorating and remod-
cling of the place. The oriental designs
and carvings, beautifully brought out
by the deft use Of gold leaf, make a
most pleasing picture. Some idea of
the splendor Of the place may be mag
ined when it is said that he has spekt
in the neighborhood of $4,000 in i'm
provements. It may be .truthfully said
that in no city in the United States is
there anything to compare with it in
oriental magnifcence.
Mr.. Hee hopes to be ready for bus
mess by Oct. rs, when the place will
be opened to the public as first-class
Chinese restaurant, catering only to the
best class of patronage and run strictly
on business principles.
Moy Hee is A years old, speaks Eng
fish fuently, is well posted on all the
important questions of the day. and is
an intelligent and successful business
man.

First Estimate of Cost Declared Too

At least 100000 should be raised
for the Minneapolis Catholic pro-
cathedral. This was the sentiment of
the. executive committee members at
their meeting last night. 1t was decid-
ed that the first estimate of cost was
too small and that building worthy of
the. honor of a footing with the new
cathedral in St. Paul should be erected.
The population of Minneapolis is much
greater than that of St. Paul, it was
argued, and provision must be made for
even greater growth; therefore, splen-
did church should be built.
