Have Plenty of DAYLIGHT.

1t is impossible for a healthy per-
son to have too much daylight. One
might as we'll say it is possible to
have too much fresh air. Daylight
does not mean the direct glare of
the sun, and healthy person is not
one whose eyes demand darkness.
Whether the house furnishing is
rich or mean does not matter in the
least. There are mansions in which
one feels gloomy, and there are cot
tage homes that make one sing from
lightness Of heart, Let the light
into the rooms. See that stairways
and passages are bright as the gar
den outside. Shun the "dim reli-
gious light" as you would the
plague.

Attitude Of the
Trusts Toward
The Philippines
By w. H. TAFT. Secretary of War

Y HE legislation proposed for the relief of the Philippines

laws to the trade between the Philippine Islands and the
United States until 19O9 the reduction of the tariff
sugar and tobacco from rs per per of the
Dngey and other products the Philippines

products of either

In order that there should be danger whatever they have
build hypothesis hypothesis and expand business the
with the degree of arithmec fervo that Colonel
painted the profits his wash be purchased eagerly by
100000 of people in China The attitude of these men, who really
know the facts cannot be described other than THE QNTE
SENCE OF SELFISHNESS opposing the gradual beermen of
the production of and tobacco the Philippines opening

tons most improbable.
Filipino may well question the good faith declarations
that there for their good when decline ports

SELFISH MOTIVE. One is what might call the coastwse

First Aid to the BashfuI.

The matrimonial bureau,
Tabooed by those who think
That young folks should be, oh, SO good
Nor at each other wink,
May serve a useful purpose
For lovers who are shy
And quite afraid to ask n maid
When looking in her eye.
In theory it is easy
To walk right up and say,
"Dear Emaline, will you be mine?
If so, please name the day."
In practice it is different.
A fellow calls around,
Bound he will make the fateful break,
And utterS not sound.
But let him take his pencil
To drop the girl line;
With eloTuence that's quite intense
He'll swear she Is divine;
He'll be as bold and daring
AS heather when they rage
And will propose in verse and prose
Three times on every page.
That's where the useful bureau
May step in as first aid
Send her address by first express
When all the fees are paid.
Just give him her location
In east or south or west
And let him know where mail should
go,
And he will do the rest.

THE CHINESE WIFE.
Come Of the Attributes Of tho Slant
Eyed Helpmates.

Eyed Helpmates.
The Chinese wife is nearly al
ways constant, chaste and affection
ate. Chinese stories like to dwell
on the love of women that has no
limit. This is why widowhood is
revered and suicide on the part Of
the bereaved woman is not con-
demned in the old classics. 1t is
because of this general acknowledge
ment of the unwavering constancy
of wives that the tickle woman is
held up to scathing satire in their
plays and proverbs. 1t was from a
Chinese story that Voltaire drew his
inspiration for the tale of the wom-
an who promised her husband on his
deathbed that she would not marry
till his grave was dry and was found
next day tanning the mound to
hasten the drying process.
Much of this contentment on the
part of the Chinese women may no
doubt arise from the common inter
est of the husband and wife in the
growing family. You will often see
fathers wheeling baby carriages
along the streets, just as you see
older sisters carrying the little fell
lows or mothers taking them on
visit to their neighbor for mutual
comparison of baby ailments and
engaging traits. Until his school
days begin the little boy does about
as he pleases, but as soon as his days
of study begin he is put under very
strict discipline.
Girl babies are less welcome ar
rivals in family than their little
brothers, especially il there be sew
eral of them already. Among very
poor people in times of famine girls
are sometimes sold into slavery by
their parents, both to rescue the
rest of the family and the girls
themselves from starvation. The lot
of the slave girl is a hard one. She
has none of the rights of a free wo-
man. But it ought to be added that
the Chinese look on this custom with
great disfavor. A slave owner is
nearly always thoroughly hated in
dividual in the community. = Pill

The Reien of Graft,

1t is gratifying to note that the peo-
pie OF the United States are taking
graft by the left leg, swinging it Wig
orously around their heads three times
and throwing 1t clear out into the mid
die of the river, or at least that they
are making q noble and heroic effort
in that direction.
To show that they are in earnest
many Of our more enterprising cities
have some of their aldermen hid away
In jail, where the tempter In the form
of contractor cannot get at them and
also as polite warning to other alder
men to wash all sticky stuff off their
fingers before coming down to work
in the morning.
While the outlook is hopeful, 1t is ad-
mitted by students that it is hard
job to break the confirmed CRATER of
the habit of grating. A Jail sentence
may do some good, but the only dead
sure way is to break his neck.

Two of a Kind.

An old farmer went to cattle
show to exhibit a favorite COW, for
which he had high hopes of winning
first prize. On learning the result
and that his COW had been placed
fifth his anger knew no bounds, and,
rushing into the ring, he attacked
the judges.
"Why is my COW not first? What
are her faults, I'd like to know"
At this point one of the judges
approached him and answered:
'Her faults, my good man, are
somewhat akin to your own-she
lacks good breeding ."-London An

Wouldn't Kick Away the Ladder.

Wouldn't Kick Away the Ladder.
The people Of the extreme south
of France, in the neighborhood Of
the Pyrenees, have hard shift to
live. Some of them gain liveli-
hood by tanning bears. Many others
take to begging, which becomes a
trade by itself, reasonably remuner-
ative and not exactly dishonorable.
Baron Haussmann in his Me
moires" cites the case of one of
these professional beggars who
amassed good property and finally
became mayor of a large commune.
Even then he continued to ply his
trade, especially in the bathing sea-
son, when many tourists visited the
country. One of these outsiders was
so taken aback at the sight of the
mayor begging on the street that he
demonstrated with the mendicant.

The Week in Church Circles.

The past week among the church
societies has been very pleasant one.
The members of the Concordia soci-
ETY. Of the Swedish Lutheran church
held their annual installation of officers
last Saturday evening at the home OF
Bengt Petersrn. The installation ter
minated in a basket supper, as mer-
toned elsewhere in this issue.
Contrary to the usual rule OF socie-
ties, the election and installation of Of
f,ers is held only once year. In
this way, if good selection is made,
the society is assured of year of good
administration.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year are as follows: Chairman, Au-
gust Johnson; vice chairman. Gustsf
Touel; secretary, George Smith; treas
uaer, Eric Anderson; sergeant at arms,
Charles Smith. Axel OLSON, the past
chairman, presented his successor with
handsome gavel made of yew wood.
The gavel was made from the same
piece Of wood as that presented by the
local K. of P. lodge to Grand Chancel-
lor c. H. Foss during his recent visit,
and was turned by Mr.. OLSON at the
Troy Lumber K Manufacturing Com
pany's plant. The newly elected Of
f.ers were called upon for speech
and each complied with the request
The society is progressing nicely
and much interest manifested in the
meetings, which are held every other
Saturday evening. Questions Of gen.
eral interest are discussed, and the ses-
sions are enEyened by songs and reel
tations at intervals. 1zs-s
Tuesday evening the Ladies Aid
Isociety Of the Christian Church gave
one of the pleasantest socials OF the
season.
The program Of the evening had
been mapped out and was followed
to the letter. --,--------.--
True to their promise, the members
Of the society divuiged the secret OF
mysterious letters appearing on the in
vitation cards, namely, B. A. P, L. A.
P, etc. These letters represented the
various prizes awarded the winners in
/ thes poetry contest, which was the prin
cipal amusement Of the evening.
After good sized crowd had gath
cred, each person was handed a slip Of
Of cardboard bearing a number and a
letter. . All persons hoIding. card. cards
bearing the same number were instruct
ed to get together and the letters on
their cards would spell the name OF an
apple. AS soon as the latter fact had
been ascertained, each crowd was t to
compose few ve1ies of poetry about
the apple represented on their cards.
