President Wheelwright of the Port

President Wheelwright of the Port
land: Ore, chamber of commerce
would SO far remove the restrictions
of the exclusion act as to admit even
a percentage of Chinese coolies to
this country. Such has he proposed
in a recent letter to President Roose-
welt. While it would perhaps not be
amiss to permit Chinese merchants to
enter, coolies-and, let us say, the
dregs of many other nations
should be kept out.

the increase Of population which will
be shown by the 1905 census. Con

An innovation which should prove
OF benefit to almost any town adopt
ing it has been introduced at Apple
ton, Mimi, by the monthly fair com
mittee at that place. It consists in
providing an auctioneer free OF
charge for the disposal of whatso-
ever the farmers bring to market, the
awarding of cash prizes for live stock,
etc., and by the merchants making
these monthly fairs bargain days al
their stores. The idea appears to be
one worthy of emulation.

Speaking of the agitation now go.
ing on for the repeal of the existing
bankruptcy law Senator Nelson says:
'While the law undoubtedly still has
imperfections- and what human law
has not and might be improved upon
in several particulars. yet I think
that all persons who are conversant
with our bankruptcy laws from 1900
down to the present moment will con-
cur in the opinion that, on the whole,
the present law is by far, taking all
matters into consideration, the fair
est, the most equitable and the least
expensive of all the bankruptcy laws
that have, from first to last, been on
our statute books.'' Senator Nelson
has made a more minute and careful
study of the operation of this law than
any other man in the State, and his
opinion should therefore have con-
siderable weight with those in whom
are reposed the power to effect it's re-
peal. So far as we can see, the law,
with an amendment, perhaps, here
and there, should remain upon the
statute books. We see no reason Tor
it's repeal. ta'1.

which Nathaniel Hawthorne, when he

kee boy. The boy had gone to the
Consul's Office one day to beg for
passage back to his home. He had

not finding it, had become almost pen
niless. He told clear story, but the
clerk who heard it doubted its truth.

passage to America persisted in wait

thorne himself At last the Consul ap-
peared, gave a quick glance at the boy
and began to question him:
'You want a passage to America"
he asked.

"And you say you are an Amerf-

Eyes, SIR"

| Hawthorne waited a moment and
then bent toward the boy.
''Who sold the best apples In your

The boys eyes shone and the home
sick longing in them deepened.

sIts all right" said Hawthorne to
the clerk. "Give him his passage" !"
And he took the boys hand and bade
him godspeed on his homeward way

,TELLs WHAT THE AUTO DID.

Device Indicates to Owner the Move
ments of His Chauffeur.
An ingenious German Instrument has
been imported which will prove to the
owners of automobiles just what their
cars have been doing in the hands Of
the hired operators, which may prevent
those worthy men from taking theater
parties out at night and riding through
the streets at railroad speed.
1t is calleda velograph, and besides
registering the. speed Of the car in mo-
ton it keeps record Of the number
OF stops and varying speeds. In other
words, the record will show just what
the car has been doing without word
from the man who drove it, and should
prove an effectual check to the indis-
criminate use Of the car by men hired
to drive them for their owners The
device, though both a speed register
and chronograph, is simple. An or-
dinary timepiece, with the dial revolv-
Ing. instead Of fingers, furnishes the
chronograph. The dial, or clock face,
is a separate cardboard disk, which
can be removed at will. The spaces
between the dial numerals, inestead of
being divided into ''fives," as in Orilin-
ary clock faces, are divided into four
sections Of fifteen each, thus making
sixty in all, to denote the minutes in
each hour.
Attached to the timepiece is an Or
dinary speed register, connected with
the hub of the vehicle. This speed
register shows the usual rotary set of
! figures denoting the number of miles
travelled. At the end Of every mile,
however, a marker, which protrudes
above the rim of the clock dial, shoots
forward and registers the fact that 1t
has been recorded. This marker being
stationary and the dial chronograph
revolving, it follows that as every mile
is recorded on the dial cardboard the
lapsed time will also be shown.
Similarly when the vehicle is stopped
the marker still continues to register
while the disk revolves. There being
no miles to be recorded, the register
will show a line parallel to the circum.
ference of the disk, denoting that the
vehicle was motionless during the
hours on the dial corresponding with
such straight line.

To lay q hand upon one strand

While others said, to leave his curIs
Would be the height Of folly,
Unless they put him with the girls
And called him Sue or Molly.

The golden fluff was flying;
Grandmother had a trembling lip,
And aunt was almost crying.
The men folks said, "Why, hello, Boss
You're looking five years olderw
But mother laid the shaven head
Close, close against her shoulder.
All, well; the nest must lose its birds,
The cradle yield its treasure;
Time will not stay a single day
For any pleader's pleasure.
And when that hours work was weighed
The scales were even, maybe;
For father gained little man
When mother lost her baby!
