Is Advertising Welcome

As we'll ask does it pay to live. Yes, it is about year ago the Patent Office at Washington, D. C., gave life to Welcome offspring, quite healthy youngster, having travelled little faster than its inventor expected. This town interests US because of its steady growth. We want to interest you because of our great growth. We are counting to do business with your home neighbors and we want you to give us Welcome. We will recipro- cate. Our output is Welcome"
 Your neighbor will take pleasure in our Welcome We keep up with the East. We have no stores and we sell to none. From Factory to Fam fly is the Welcome Idea" When "The Welcome Factory, Inc" with a fully paid capital stock of S44, 100000 based upon continued success offers to show you how to add to your salary, isn't it worth the time it takes to ask how you can do it?
 For fifteen years more the U. s. Government pI Iotects us both by letters patent. It opens the door, not to im- mediate wealth but to an independent business proposition, different from anything now located here and some- thing that has no element of chance or uncertainty.
 If an inspiring story of success ap peals to you and you are ambitious to share in the "Welcome" growth and Welcome" profits of business that is reaching out its arms and finding friends in every city, town and village of the Union, let our vice president call upon you when he is in your home town; the information you will secure in personal interview cannot fail to interest, impress and convince you. You will find the substance of the proposition infinitely more attractive than the outlire given here.
 Study yourself and see if you have two qualities necessary in your make up, reliability and application. Stop dreaming and get down to business. The Welcome" dream is practical. We live in a practical world.
 Could you use little more money? Be brief, simply write and say, "l want to know about the business open ing presented by "The Welcome Self heating Smoothing Iron. ''

Indian a Poor Soldier.

Army officers do not agree with the Indian commissioner as to the value of converting the Carlisle School into a sort of aboriginal West Point. There has never been much military confi- dence in the Indian as a soldier, and 1t is doubtful If the training for that purpose at Carlisle will be regarded as a specially profitable change in the character of the training of that insti- tution.
 There Is admittedly another side to the project in that the Indian may be made a better and more useful man by the education of the youth at Car Hsle for military service. There Is no question that the discipline will be a good thing, even should the students fail of conversion into suitable sol diers. The experience of the govern ment with the Indian as a trooper WAS not entirely satisfactory, to de scribe the situation mildly, but it must be said, also, that in the early days the Indian had no such training as Is proposed at Carlisle.
 There is no lack of appreciation that the new commissioner of Indian af- fairs, MT. Leupp, understands the h. dian question better than any of his predecessors, and his plan for the im- proyement of the Indian youth will be received with due respect.

BUILT HOUSE FOR RECREATION.
How Young Bachelor Solved Problem
 of Boarding House Life.

How Young Bachelor Solved Problem
 of Boarding House Life.
 T. N. Tallentire, young lawyer of this city, has unique idea of recrea- ton. It Is to build a house. Where other men turn to golf or boating or Indoor athletics as a relaxation from mental labor, MT. Tallentire takes to carpentry, and there is neat little one and . half story frame cottage on Spruce street which bears witness to his devotion to his chosen pastime.
 It wasn't altogether his love for house building, though, which prompt ed MT. Tallentire to possess home of his own. Revulsion from boarding house life had a good deal to do with It. Agreeing with his office assistant, J. R. Thorp, on the desirability of be- coming property owners, the two set about the construction of their bach elor quarters. Stone work, wood- work and plasterlng, they did 1t all, and if the technical skill of the ex- perienced workman Is not apparent in all places, the builders are seeming ly unconscious of the lack. For year and half they have been going home after office hours, or getting up be- times in the morning to do a bit of | finishing on the house. It was not nec- essary, of course, to wait for comple- ton before moving in, and there was an advantage in being on the spot to hang a door or adjust a window be- fore breakfast.
 The only thing these daring young bachelors did not attempt for them selves was the management of the cuisine. Presumably homework was not considered in the light of either recreation or desirable exercise. At any rate, a housekeeper was installed to prepare the meals and to keep things shipshape.
 The experimenters are delighted with the results of their industry. It is easy to see that this house of his own manufacture is the apple of MT. Tallentire's eye. The arrangement of his sleeping room is the source of con- stant and especial joy to him.
 T have that room just the way want it," he said, "and I think it's pretty fine. I spent lots of thought on the tinting of the walls. You want a room warm and cheerful, you know, and red is the color that does it. Il is one of these vivid reds that make you warm just to look at them, and there's some blue, a sort of sky blue, in the border."-Seattle Times.

In a recent speech before a Boston

In a recent speech before a Boston club. Curtis Guild. Jr., Lieutenant Gov ernor of Massachusetts, attributed many of the evils of city. State and nation to what he called the lawless. ness of the respectable" Among oth- CT things the speaker said: Crafts could never exist but for the man be. hind the grafter. The one danger that most Americans view with horror Is socialism. The strongest argument for government ownership is that 1t Is the only relief from graft. The man who Is doing more for socialism, commun- ism and anarchy to-day than any other is the highly respectable business man who buys legislation" It is reported that the Lieutenant Governors speech stirred up a hornets nest" It is to be hoped it did. The hornets need stir ring up. Gov. Guild Is only saying what is being said everywhere. It is high time some New England voice were joining in the chorus of protest that is going up elsewhere. Modern society is hunting down its enemies. And when it finds them 1t does not stop to consider social or business standing. If the foes of the people hide behind respectable names they are dragged into the light. And be- fore long it will be fashionable for some of the rich respectables who have corrupted public servants to live in penitentiarles. The outlawry of the rich is tremendously more dangerous than the outlawry of the poor. And, as the speaker says, the men who are the most appalled, at the danger of so cialism are the men who are hastening it. If they are to be hoist it will be by their own petard. They are respon- sible for the growing sentiment in favor of federal, State and municipal control of corporations. The danger ous classes" in this country are the men behind the grafters.

Foreign students of our society discerning people-say that American husbands are the most devoted In the world. And, moreover, that American husbands of the well-to-do and veal thy sort are forever killing themselves In business In order to minister to the ambition of their wives. There Is con siderable truth In the observation. It Is not that American women of this class deliberately urge their husbands to the limit of exhaustion for their sakes. They love their husbands. But the desire of the wife for larger or finer house, or for a style of living be yond the means of the husband, stlmu- lates the man to strenuous effort that he may provide these things. And sometimes the man goes wrong and the wife is mortified. In this day o6 competition when men fight each other almost as literally as they did in the amnhtheaters of Rome or Corlnth. il is easy to engage in the mad struggle for money. The mania is catching
 Men come to love the strife as soldiers love the battle. It Is the province of the wise wife, oftentimes, to restrain. She ought to make her husband see that money Is not all of happiness-to her or to him. She can do this by preferring the quieter life of substan- tisl comfort and content. The Amerl- can husband-well euloglzed as the finest type in the worlds largely guided in all things by the tastes and wishes of his wife. He will key his life to hers. If she longs for the so- cial whirl, he will dissipate with her. If she yearns for luxuries he will spend himself to get them. If she Is ambitious to shine, the fever to get money will burn in his veins. On the other hand, if the wife prefers the sim ple life, the wholesome life. the home l life above all others, he will see the wisdom of rest and relaxation and will rise up and call her blessed.
