ONE SHIPPED WTFE.

Mir Frank Trouts of Cincinnati was charged with skipping his wife, Gussie, the past junior yice-chancellor of lodge of Daughters of America. He was called into court, and he made an ex- planation there. Its all the fault of the lodge, judge. My wife stays out nights attending it's meetings. and when I get home there's nothing but cold meals for me" And then Judge Leuders remarked, in his judicial ca pacity: When man works hard all day he is entitled to some supper when he comes home at night, and he is en- titled to warm supper, too.'
 This is encouraging to the Husbands of America, at first thought, but the second thought isn't quite so encourag- ing. One swallow doesn't make a summer, and one slapped wife isn't all the wives. Many of the Wives of America are quite capable of upholding their rights without calling on man judge to help them. 'The lodge" will probably not suffer much on account of Judge Lueders' talk, and the suffering of men who want warm suppers when they come home nights will not be much alleviated by it.

4 Boys soIiIOquy

I love to read kid stories,
 They're all sO nice and goodi They tell of lovely children
 Found by fairies in the wood. The fairies give them castles,
 And make them queens and kings; Present them with gold chariots
 And other splendid things These story kids are never bad;
 They never sass their ma; They always do what they are told
 They play no tricks on pa. But after have read 'em through
 l sort of wish, somehow, That I could read a story
 Of kids like them 1 know. I'd like to read about a boy
 Whats just like my chum Billy; And also of a pug-nosed girl
 What Giggles and is silly. A story of common kid,
 Like you find everywhere, What doesn't like to wash his face
 And hates to comb his hair. A kid what busts his buttons off,
 And never plays with toys, But goes about a-raising scraps
 With all the other boys. A kid that likes to play baseball,
 But ain't much big at school; 7 A kid what all the neighbors call
 That smarty" or that fool" Now, if some stOry-writer will
 Of such kid please write, I'll buy his book and read it through
 And call it out of sight. M. D. w. in New Orleans Picayune.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

It has seemed that some of the Unit ed States were sufficiently generous in the matter of incorporation privileges, but Consul Anderson thinks it is a fact worthy the consideration of the legis- lators in the United States that there are few, if any, corporations organized abroad under American laws. even though a majority of the projectors of a new enterprise may be Americans. A case in point is that of a company be- ing organized at Manila to carry on trade in fertilizers along the Chinese coast. This company is practically composed of Americans, and will deal very largely in American products. But it is to be organized under the laws of Hong Kong, a British colony, be- cause of the fact that the terms grant ed in Hong Kong's charters are more liberal than can be had in any of the States of the United States with one or two exceptions, and can be had at much less cost with much less trouble and expense.
 The practical result is that American enterprises are being organized under foreign auspices, the foreign nation concerned gets the benefit of whatever taxation comes under such charters, and credit for the business done by the corporation. In the Far East, as it is elsewhere, the concern which has the reputation of doing the most business is very likely to get the greater portion of new business that arises, for the simple reason that people naturally deal with the more popular concern, other things being equal. On the face of things British interests have nearly two-thirds of the foreign trade in China. AS a matter of fact they have considerably less than this. much bus mess which really represents Ameri- can export and production being done in British names under British aus pices. It does not help American trade, however, that much of the trade the United States now has is British owned at the time of it's actual contact with the Chinese consumer.

The citizens of Dvinsk in Russia were contemplating the opening of a com- nlercial school, to cost 10000 rubles. The Jewish community was willing to pro- vide more than half of the needed funds on condition that from 40 to 50 per cent. of the enrolment be Jewish pupils. The finance minister thought that 10 per cent. is all that the Jews are entitled to, and the Jews of Dvinsk replied that under such a condition they would supply but one-tenth of the funds. There will be no commercial school in Dvinsk.

There are now about 4O,OOO Chinese roolies in the mines of South Africa. Over 120O of the total number imported have been sent home and the number of deaths from April 1, 1905, to July 1. was 363, which seems an excessive rate In view of the fact that only those are |lttffllewed to sail from China who are Rsupposed to be healthy men.

California for Protection

Reciprocity between the United States and foreign countries found discussion before two commercial organizations in San Francisco Tuesday-the California state board of trade and the San Fran cisco chamber of commerce The for mer declared in resolution "that this board has been in the past and is still opposed to any modification of the im- port duties upon the products of CalifOr- mia, whether by the way of reciprocity or of legislation" The trustees of the chamber of commerce did not reach any final conclusion, but continued the mat ter. The Southern California delegation spoke emphatically against giving any sanction to reciprocity, because in their opinions such sanction would give to the public the idea that California is not decided in its views in favor of pro- tection.-San Diego Union.

,this land was not forwarded to the General Land Office at Washington, nor was it entered on the tract books. Nothing but the affidavit giving reasons why he should be allowed to make second homestead entry was forwarded. So when, short time afterwards, w. H. Carlson, the former San Diego boomer appeared at the Los Angeles Land Office and asked to file desert claim on the same land, there was nothing on the records to prevent it, and so McCaulley's homestead was in- cluded in Carlson's desert claim. Tn due course of time favorable action was taken in Washington on McCauley's affidavit and he was ordered to make his application over again, giving all the facts, when his homestead would be allowed. However, when he came to apply again the desert claim of Carlson having been already erroneously allowed to cover his land, he was turned down, his application was contested by Carl son, and he had to appeal to the Secre- tary of the Interior. He stayed with it though, and has finally won out and been awarded the land. With the de- velopment of the Valley it will no doubt become very valuable property.

SUICIDES.

Leaving church in the midst of glad
Easter services, Miss Matte l.. Hopkins,
a pupil nurse in the Columbia Hospital,
Washington, returned yesterday morning
to the house where she was spending her
! annual vacation in Beltsville, Md, and
committed suicide by cutting her throat.
Unable to bear the intense pain caused
by asthma, of which he had suffered for
the past 10 years, John Henry Maggie,
aged so. a well-known resident of East
Baltimore, went from his home, shortly
after midnight Saturday and committed
suicide at the corner of Cough and Eden
streets by cutting his throat from ear 10
ear with a razor.
Grief over his wife's death led Will
lam Wachauss to journey all the way
from his native Bohemia in order to
kill himself upon the grave of his dead
spouse in Oak Hill Cemetery, just out
side Baltimore. Wachauss was running
a saloon there when his wife died, two
wears ago. Much affected by her death
he sold out and went back TO Goerkau,
Bohemia. Last Thursday he landed IN
New York, and took a train for Balti-
more Saturday. He left the train near
the cemetery, went at once to his wife's
grave and there shot himself through
the head.
Edmund p. CaproD, of st. Louis,
committed suicide some time Saturday
night at a hotel in Washington by swal-
lowing cyanide of potassium. He had
registered under the name of CT. John
ston" and used the name of 80. F.
Hatch" when he pawned his watch Fri
day. Lying on a table in the suicides
room was an unsigned note addressed to
"Nellie," which read "Nellie, you are
free. | so loved you that have given
my life a sacrifice for you, that you may
have the happiness that you have longed
for so many times. regret that In
ficted my life on yours" Capron was
for many years on the editorial staff of
the st. Louis Star. He vas a French
man of the old school.
Charles Hollenbeck, aged forty-eight,
a glove cutter, committed suicide at
Johnstown, n. Y. Saturday by drinking
carboIic acid. He was standing in a
drugstore talking with a number of
others about the death of Mrs. Sadie
McCartin, the New York woman who
killed herself by drinking carbOlic acid
there Friday night. Hollenbeck was
employed by the YOUNGSTOWN branch of
the Wertheimer Company, for which the
woman had worked in New York. Sud
denly Hollenbeck turned TO the drug
clerk and said "Let's see some Of
that carbolic acid" A bottle of it was
handed to him. Before any one could
interfere HolleDbeck took a drink of the
fluid and died in terrible agony in a few
minutes.
