HIGH LIGHTS

OF two evils chose the one you have
Worried through before.
Even people who can't hold their
ongues know when other people
.Jgnt to.
When the doctor tells a.woman TO diet
she eats less at the table and more in
&c pantry.
The woman who has her first spec
taoles always, believes she wears them
Just to rest her eyes.
A man never knows what he can do
until he tries, and then he wishes he
had done something else.
There are two public nuisances-the
people who never carry umbrellas and
the people who carry them all the time.
Wien a woman wishes to do some
thing real out and out reckless. and eX-
trayagant she dreams of going to Eu-
rope.
One of life's greatest problems is
this: Do people get stout because they
are lazy, or are they lazy 'becarse they
are stout Chicago Daily Record.

FOR OUR BOYS TO REMEMBER.

There is lots more courage in being
whipped by a larger boy than yourself
in a good cause than there is in whip
ping q little fellow. 1t marks the diff
ference between boy and bully.
Don't Kick your dog because you
know he viii forgive YOU. a boy that
tnkes a mean advantage of dogs good
nature is never the kind of a fellow
to take on a camping trip.
The real hunter or sportsman always
treats a gun as if it were loaded, even
II he knows to the contrary. It's the
hoy who never had gunin the woods
Cat plays with it recklessb or points
an unloaded gun at anyone.
One good turn deserves another, but
it generally brings a good many more
nan one. A good turn is always good
avcstnent-cheap, safe, and pays the
ligcest dividends of any stock in the
r'arkct. If you don't believe it, just
Juy a few shares.
"Boys will be boys" is mighty poor
Scuse for any act that is unworthy OF
boy. Boys viii be men is what should
borne in mind, and if they are man
loys they win be brave, generous
li!emen, and there's only one thing

The reorganization of the Canal
Commission has been the principle
topic at he meetings Of the cabl-
net and the President Of late. Since
the return of the Secretary of War
from his inspection trip to Panama
a ringing out of the old Commisn-
ers and an appointment of the new
men has been foreordained. Today
the letter of the Secretary of War
to the President, brief, terse, but
convincing has been published as
also the letter of the President in
reply. There were some good men
in their way on the multi-headed
commission but it was not it was
not in their way even to commence
building the Canal. Most of the
men were more than score of
years beyond Dr. Osler's limit of
usefulness. They were buresu-
Gratis unable to get ont of the rou-
tine of oAicialdom and do things
Instead of pulling together they
pulled against each other. 1t was
the old story of too many cooks.

Mining Reporter: The age of ap
ore deposit bears little relationship
70 the sge of the rock in which it
is found Thus deposit found in
an orehaean rock does not mean
HAT the deposit itself is Of archaean
age. The only rule in this counec-
tiou is that the ore deposit is prob
abl, of later age than the rock in
which it is found, although this
rule is subject, OF course, to modi-
fcahous. A deposit in archaean
rock may be of tertiary age. In

in deposits ranging from the cam
brian to The upper carboniferous.
The deposits themselves are prob
ably of tertiary age.

R. A. Knabenshue, the Ohio aero naut, proposes to establish an airship farm on the banks of the Potomac. He has tried in several places but does not think his efforts to fly have been fully appreciated and he is now in Washington for the purpose of buying a farm where he can conduct his experiments and fly his air yes sels. The Seeing Washington" cars and automobiles are very popular and there is no doubt that a satisfactory airship which could sail about the town from point to point while the tourists were entertained with lectures describing the various places, would be a paying investment. An airship line to Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York would also do lively bus mess. He will undertake to build a ship this winter which will be able to fly from Washington to Philadel- phia and New York and expects to demonstrate to the government auth critics the feasibility of these ma chimes for war purposes.

Former Senator McLaurin of South Carolina, who was in New York on election day, says that New Workers mo longer have any license to criti- cize anything that may be done in the south with respect to the negro. There never was anything in,the south even in the most bitter days of race and partisan hatred, to compare with what I saw in New York last Tues day." said MT McLaurin. "There was intimidation, slugging, threats and every other known expedlent utilized to prevent men from voting. I was never more disgusted in my life and New Workers and New York news papers should never say another word about the negro not getting what is coming to him in the south." Mir Me Laurin added that if the negro ques- ton could be eliminated the south would vote solidly for President Roosevelt. 'It may do so anyhow 2 he concluded. He is exceedingly popular among our people for they like his'way of doing things"

against them was attractive to thous- ands of voters. Probably no state ad- ministration in the country has been freer from any semblance of any graft than that of Governor Herrick, but notwithstanding graft was a popular word. The temperance senti- ment in the state which has become strong in recent years was much in evidence, and whether justly or un- justly was one of the influences which led to the defeat of Governor Herrick. I am satisfied, now that the election is over, that calmer sentiment will pre- vail and Governor Herrick's admin istration will be fayorably considered and commended by the people of the state" Representative Burton is said to be the most popular republican in Cleveland and there has been some talk of asking him to become the par ty leader in that city, but Mir Burton does not believe that he could do the cause justice and satisfactorily at tend to his congressional duties at the same time.

The prompt action of Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte in directing a court-martial for Midshipman Meri- wether, jr, whose fight with Midship- man Branch resulted in the death of the latter, will undoubtedly be receiv- ed with approval In the progress of the court-martiaI it will doubtless be developed that the officials at the naval academy were fully cognizant of the fact that such fights were held from time to time and it will be in- teresting to see what the final action of the naval authorities will be. Tn fact, it is said that the only reason why this particular fight was stopped at the end of the 22nd round instead of continuing throughout the full schedule of 23 rounds, was because of the approach of some one higher in authority than the cadets who wit messed the contest. Otherwise. it is probable the two cadets would have continued to fight notwithstanding their condition was such that one of them has been in the hospital ever since and the other one is dead. The eourt-martiaI of Midshipman Meri- wetber. jr. is of more interest because of the general expectation that the system under which the fight was possible will receive a thorough over hauling rather than because of any personal snimosity against this cadet. It is generally felt that the -code- is to blame more than Meriwether. who mIght easily have been the victim h. stead Of Branch
