Too Careful by Half.

GILllduo4pnld heCOrd.
 With "Carefulness" as his motto there Is West Philadelphia physician who never misses a chance to impress on others the necessity of this quality Since an incident which occurred la41~ week, however, he will probably rurb his demonstrative policy. His wife is the reverse of the physician in this re- spect. and he has constantly warned her regarding her carelessness with jewelry Going to the bath, room he found her diamond rings lying on the wash stand alongside a box of jewell CTS sawdust with which she had been cleaning them. Placing the rings in his pocket and strewing the sawdust to make 1t seem the rings had gone down the pipe, he left the house. When he returned that evening the house was in an uproar. The bath room had becn dismantled and all the pipes taken out Hysterically the wife told of her loss and also that she had summoned a plumber to explore the pipes. Con- science -smitten, he returned the rings, and his feelings have not been smoth- cred by the receipt of a plumbers bill for $23.50.

Washington, May 1S.-(SpeciaL)- Two congressional elections to i'll va cancies will take place early in June which promise to be quite interesting.
 One of them is in the First Indiana district to fill the vacancy caused by the election to the United States Senate of James Hemenway, for whom a place in the upper body was made when MT. Fairbanks became Vice President. The first district used to be close until the Democrats divided on the money ques- ton and then Hemenway came In ana staid in, winning each time after his election to the Fifty-fourth Congress by a few thousand votes.
 This time, it is said. the running will not be so easy for the Republican candidate because of dissensions among the Republicans locally. Foster, the Republican nominee, Is encountered In G. V. Menzies, the Democratic candl- date by strong personality lie was educated for the Navy and served for some time with distinction, when, after marriage with the daughter or Governor Hovey, he resigned, and has since been very successfully engaged in civilian pursuits In the Hoosier State.
 The Republican candidate Is the re- suit of compromise after long scramble for the nomination, while the Democrats easily united on Menzies.
 The other congressional election Is to take place in West Virginia. in the second district. vacated by Alston G. Dayton, appointed federal Judge to succeed John J. Jackson, who recently retired on account of age. It IS the same district which William l.. Wilson represented and which, like the Indi- ana district, was lost to the Democrats on account of the factions which marked the William J. Bryan era. There are something like 10000 votes boiled in the district. with an average majority in recent elections of 2,o0O for the Republican ticket.
 The candidates are: for the Repub- licans, James s. Lakin, merchant, ana Thomas S. Davis, brother of Henry Gassaway Davis, the candidate last year of the Democrats for Vice Presi- dent. Colonel Tom," as he is famil- iarly known, like his brother, the ex- senator. is a wealthy man, success full business man and one who has shared his earnings generously with his neighbors. He did not seek the nomination. but 1t having been very urgently pushed upon him, he has ac- cepted, and will make a vigorous can vass. The result is expected to be in doubt until the votes are counted. Lakin's principal strength lies in the two facts that the district has been in the habit of going Republican the last ten years and other potential fact that Senator Elkins is backing him. The two Davises will do their utmost to encompass the election of Colonel Tom" The former senator and late Democratic candidate for Vice Presi- dent, despite his venerable years. is full of vigor and virile democracy. and means to help his brother all he can.

There is not scintilla of evidence that has yet transpired that a particle of good has been done by any of this great trust-busting machinery set in motion by President Roosevelt. It is general ly remarked that Chief Garfield of the Bureau of Corporations has been fool ed to a finish by the beef trust, and the price of beef Is star witness of the futility of his Investigations and the efforts at prosecution and the de- cisions of the courts.

Turkish Attar Of Roses.

Turkish altar of roses Is mainly pro-
duced in Bulgaria and is carried ON In
the fertile valleys on the southern
stones of the Balkans. The rose har-
vest in Bulgaria begins about the third
week in May and lasts about month.
The second great seat Of rose farming
in Europe is the space between the
Maritime Alps and the Mediterranean,
in the extreme southeast Of France.
This is, in fact, the great scent farming
and perfumery making center OF Eu-
rope, the town of Grasse being the en-
porlum of the district. OF course at
tar of roses is also produced In India,
Persia and Asiatlc Turkey under the
climatic conditions desired, but the
great bulk of the supply is furnished by
the European regions already noted.
The roses employed for altar making in
Europe are: In Bulgaria the red damask
rose and in the south OF France the
Provence rose, hybrid or variety or
the hundred leaf rose. to which also be-
longs the well known cabbage rose.

Taking Desperate Chances.

1t is true that many contract colds
and recover from them without taking
any precaution or treatment, and a
knowledge Of this fac: leads others to
take their chances instead Of giving their
colds the needed attention. 1t should
re borne in mind that every cold weak
ems the lungs, lowers the vitality, makes
the system less able to Withstand each
succeeding cold and p4yes the way
for more serious diseases. Can you

A Dream with q Moral.

10 heaven and there saw "A mansion
being built. Whom is that forT' she
asked Of the guide.
"For your gardener"
"But he lives In the tiniest cottage
on earth, with barely room for his fam
lily. He might live better If he did not
give away SO much to the>miserably
poor folks"
Farther on she saw o tiny cottage
being built. "And whom is that forr'
she asked.
"That Is for you"
"But have lived In a mansion on
earth. ! would not know how to live
in a cottage"
The words she heard in reply were
full Of meaning. THE Master Builder
is doing his best with the material that
Is being sent up"
Then she awoke, resolving to lay up
treasure in heaven.-Chicago Post.

Freshness of Youth.

He was respectable looking man,
and, judging from his appearance, he
was a butcher by trade, and this be-
lief was verified a few minutes later.
He carried a white apron under his
arm, and as he entered a car huge
cleaver dropped from the bundle to the
floor. A youth who had not reached
the age Of discretion sank out merrily,
oSay, mister. you dropped your pocket
knife" The passengers laughed, but
they could not help but think that the
youth took a long chance on kidding a
man with cleaver.-Albany Journal.
