American Attitude Toward Course oil
Cain" Differs from English.
The average Englishman's menta
attitude toward working for living
is not easy for the American to under
stand. A young aristocrat committed
suicide the other day because. having
run through his property, ne was fac.
ing the dreadful necessity of earning
his daily bread. In English novels we
often encounter heroes in whose be.
half orr sympathy is sougth because
the poor fellows must either work or
starve. Thackerays Philip" was one
of these Ill 'ortunate young men. Los.
ing his money through the dishonesty
of an educator, he is compelled to take
up newspaper work, and the 1ardships
of having to work tur living, espec-
tally or one who mas been brought up
in idleness. are dwelt upon by Mr..
Tnackeray with telling pathos. Not
until, in the last chapter, the hero
inherits a fortune through the roman.

English parlance trade" is low"
says Robert Webs er. Jones in the May
Housekeeper. When tne grocer. the
butcher and the maker of candIesticks
meet for a social evening with their
wives, each politely ignores the fact
that the others labor for their daily
bread. The slightest allusion to t1e
commercial world would be considered
the deepest discourtesy.
In this country we look upon work
somewhat differently. There is t1e
same commendable aversion to talk
ing shop" at least this feeling is
growing. but it is not because we are
ashamed of working for our living
The story is told of young English
man who knew some men in Pittsburg,
the busiest spot on this continent, and
decided to put up at club in that city
for a few weeks. He left town after
two days, saying: There's no fur
to be had here. All my friends work
in the daytime and | can't get anyone
to play with me-" We like work, we
are proud of it, and we recognize that
it is one of God S best gifts to man.

asked g young American girl.
"On, yes, my lord" came the quick
reply, 'but we call them tramps."

Proper Treatment Of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is 100 dangerous dis
ease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself, although he may have the
proper remedies at hand. A physician
should always be called. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that pneumon~
ia always results from cold or from
an attack of the grip, and that by Civ
ing Cham berlaln's Cough Remedy the
threatened attack Of pneumonia may
be warded off. This remedy is also
used by physicians in the treatment of
pneumonia with the best results

is also druggist, says of it Il have

.Steffel Acquitted.

Joseph Steffel, who was tried for the
murder of Hans Tritschler, Milwau-
kee saloon keeper who formerly lived
at jefferson, was acquitted Sunday
morning. The jury was out fourteen
hours and took sixteen ballots. The
brutal murder of Tritschler occurred
December 81 in the latter's East Water
street saloon. Steffel was suspected of
the crime, as he had been seen about
the place and disappeared after the
crime was committed. The state was
unable to put up ii strong case, how
ever, as the testimony was entirely
circum stantial. The fact that the ac-
cused gave himself up to the police
voluntarily on discovering that he was
s'wanted, " no doubt greatly aided bis
case. 1t appears now that the MUIR
derer of Haus Tritschler will remain
unknown and unpunlshed.
