Dust Greats Trouble for Them and They Should Be Kept Clean.
 You can distinguish your true book lover from the man who simply likes
 books at the first glance by the way he handles them. The man who Hikes

 Books aren't at all perishable bits of property if you treat them properly. Keep them under glass-dust breeds sorts of little destructive creatures, and an open bookcase shortens the life
 of your books by half.
 When you house. clean take out ev- cry book and wipe out the case, going over every inch of it thoroughly, with warm water in which a generous dash of turpentine has been put.

SHE HAD f MOTITE.

Women are said to act without mo- tive, but those who thus say only show their ignorance. The other day a woman who had lost a position in Philadelphia through slanderous re- ports about her character appeared in court as attorney for herself and secured a verdict, with damages, against the alleged slanderers. When she lost her position. in 1902. she tried but without success, to retain the services of prominent lawyers in Phil adelphia. As she could induce no one to take her case, she decided to study law and press her case herself in the courts. She was graduated with distinction and achieved a not able triumph when she obtained a favorable verdict in a suit which male lawyers had pronounced almost a hopeless one. In this instance the desire for vindication inspired the woman to study law. Without this motive she would have been satisfied to be teacher for the rest of her life.
 This is having a motive and acting on it. Perhaps few men would be- come lawyers for such a motive. Their motive might be to get living, to get office, or some other equally lofty one.

.EKEN IN MEASUREMENTS.

When a Massachusetts law gets busted" because of the neglect of it's makers to use word properly the law makers of less cultivated States are en- titled to snicker Massachusetts new 'peddlers' law, so-called, is found to be absolutely ineffective so far as its origi- nal intent is concerned. This is the act fathered by the Springfield Board of Trade and framed by ex-Representa- tive E. H. Brewster, and it's purpose was to regulate the peddling of fruits and vegetables and other products which came into competition with the wares of storekeepers. It was neces- sary to exercise great care to safeguard the interests of the farmers, whose right to sell their own products at re- tail was recognized, the aim being to impose heavy license fee which would keep irresponsible hawkers out of busi- ness. In their concern for the farmers, who are protected in the new law by a special clause, the lawmakers paid scant heed to other features of the act. The failure to eliminate the word pro visions" or to restrict it's scope by some definite clause. was the circumstance which made this law ineffective, so far as it applies to the peddlers of fruits and vegetables. Webster's and Worces- ter's dictionaries are in accord in the definition of provisions" as meaning food products; and fruit and vegetable certainly come under this head. The gifted lawmakers evidently neglected to consult their dictionaries, or had in mind some entirely different definition of the word.
 It is too early to tell, but we don't believe anything so careless as that was done by Connecticut's long parlia- ment, which has only just adjourned.

EXTENSIVE SYMPATHY.

Sympathy sometimes costs money, but of course that is no reason why sympathy should not be indulged in
 Still, there may be a reasonable doubt about the wisdom of the sympathy that led to the sympathetic strike in Chicago. For fifteen weeks the teamsters kept up the strike. There were 4,250 men thrown out, of whom 2,O0O are still without places, the re- mainder having secured work in other lines or with houses that were not affected by strike-b bound orders or do- ing business with strike-bound houses. The strike was called on April 6. There are 35,OOO union teamsters in Chicago. The cost of the strike to the unions was $30O0OO. The wages lost by the strikers is $75O000. The cost of the strike to the employers is S2,100,O0O in wages, and the loss of business is estimated at more than $l2oo0,0oO. The cost of the strike to the city is $175,OOo, and to the coun- ty '$1O0,OOO Persons injured by the strike number 450; deaths 21. To pre- serve peace there were 22OO policemen, 14OO specials, and S,4o0 deputy sher- ifs. The strike started over an att tempt to help sixteen tailors who went out on a strike. There was at no time any question of wages or hours among the teamsters, but they went out on a sympathetic strike.
 It would have been cheaper in this case to pension the tailors and let them go around idle and unconquered.

The tea used in the immediate household of the Emperor of China is treated with the utmost care. It is ra4tsud in 3 gaFAen surrounded by a wall, so that neither man nor beast can get anywhere near the plants. At the time of the harvest those collecting these leaves must abstain from eating fish, that their breath may not spoil the aroma of the tea; they must bathe three times day, and, in addition, must wear. gloves while picking the tea for the Chinese court.

At the beginning of this month there were 7,492 more rural free delivery routes operated by the United States Postoffice department than existed one year ago, and the total number of such routes is now 32,O5S. This would seem to be enough for the taxpayers, to SUD- port. in view of the fact that it is this service that causes the great deficiency in the Postoffice department, which would be nearly self-supporting but for this drain on its appropriations. But the announcement is now made that 1000 new routes are to be established and $500 more are being examined and will probably be started.

 He ordered that all his men change their shirts at once. This order was duly carried out, except in the case of one company, where the privates' wardrobes had been sadly depleted. The captain of this company informed the colonel that none of his men could change their shirts, since they had only one apiece. The colonel hesi- tated moment, then said, firmly: Orders must be obeyed. Let the men change shirts with each other.

Sunf0Wer Philosophy.

1t is awful hard to believe that the
man who catches you stealing jam
found you at it accidentally.
After a woman has had as many
as four children her conversation be-
comes statistical.
When a woman is so devoted to a
man that she watches his every move
nent, it is hard to tell whether love
or suspicion prompts her devotion.
The only husband who is as good
as his wife thinks a husband should
be, is the one who has a tombstone
over him.
The picture of Sleeping Beauty"
in the fairy tales will have to be
painted over. According to the fash
ion magazines she is now wearing
pajamas.
One Of these days the man who
gets scolded when he complains of
his wife's biscuit, will drop dead
when he hears her apologizing for
them to company.
If a man admits he is wicked
enough to go to hell, he thinks in the
same instant that there must be a
worse place to send lot of others
he knows.
When a father wants his boy
whipped within an inch of his life
he should send him to college and
get him initiated into college fra
ternity, in this way getting the lick
ing for the boy and the credit of be-
ing a liberal and progressive man fol
himself.

MESSEGE OF DEATH.
Went To the Wrong Family and
Two Funeral Parties Met at
the Station.

Glasgow, KY, Dec. p hanksgi-
wing Day brought to one family at
Randolph, Medcalf County, the Bit
ter sorrow Of death and to another
of the same name and relatives of
the first the best of reasons for
gateful observance of the day.
Through a misunderstanding both
families went to the railroad station
to receive a corpse which each party
thought was that of one Of its own
family circle. The clearing of the
mistake sent one family home weep
ing beside its dead and another sor-
rowing with the bereaved but joyful
that its own loved one had been
spared.
Last Sunday Charlie. Glass, a son
of Pony Glass. of Randolph, was
killed by negroes in a tend near
Danville Ill. Mr. Glass was notified
that the body would arrive Thursday
and with his family drove IL miles
to the station to take the body
home. By mistake message had
also been sent to Benjamin Glass,
who also has son in Illinois.
BENJAMIN Glass and his family,
not doubling that the body was that
of his son, also drove to the station.
The two families met while waiting
for tho train and each supposed the
other had come as an act of sympa-
thy. as they were related. They
waited in silent grief for the arrival
of the train, each family a little
surprised at the agitation of the
other. 1t was not until the body
was taken off the train that the
misunderstanding was discovered.
Then the Benjamin Glass family
were overjoyed that it was not their
boy, but the sight of their relatives
weeping over the dead tempered
their joy and both families made one
funeral cortege to the stricken
home

gold-headed cane by some of his adj
mirers. During that week also a

notice of the presentation appeared
in the local paper.
Several Of Dr. Mudge's friends
called upon him yesterday, and after
a brief conversation the unsuspicious
pig was seized by the hind legs and
slid along beam until he reached
the hot-water tank. His friends ex-
planned the object of their visit, and
presented him with a very handsome
gold-deaded butcher, who grabbed
him by the tail swung him around,
split his throat from ear to ear, and
in less than a minute the carcass was
in the water. Thereupon he came
forward, and said that there were
times when the feeling overpowered
one; and for that reason he would
not attempt to do more thad thank

by taking a position down town, but
she still remained a mother girl.
Her mother never gave up combing
and fixing her hair mornings and
letting it down. and braiding it
nights. Her room at home adjoins
her mothers, and after her hair is
braided nights her mother lies on
the bedside with her until she falls
asleep. The girl bought theater
tickets and always took her mother.
Evenings she would go home carry

confectioner's, surprising for her
mother. But tragedy happened:
