From the Elmira Gazette
Senator Plat is quoted as SAYING az his
birthday party that his life has not been
worth while
The Senator has won wealth. He has
attained political distinction. ANY list
of the ten greatest bosses of the coun-
try would bear his mime Thousands
swear by him. even u other thousands
swear at him he has won scores II
hard fights. He has hllcd graveyard
with his enemies and is still power
with the spade He holds high once.
Even II his word is not as potent as
once IL was It is word the most power
ful would rather have with him than
against HIM. Yet the Senator rs quoted
o1 saying mo ! don't think il has been
worth while II I had Il TO do over again
should model my political life along
other lines
The Senator has played his game and
won Al the age or seventy-two. how
ever he finds that there is something finer
than merely winning a game. II Plat has
anything To- lament now Il is that his
political activity was not devoted more
seriously TO something that would be of
advantage TO his State and his country.
lie has ruled his State He has PLAYED
part IN the ruling Of the country But az
ter all there is nothing TO show for his
work except victory over other factionists
and another party. II is diricult to inn

lamentins that their strife had not been
worth While. They sirove for serious
purpose and that serious purpose made
the cffort worth the cost II Platt would
reshane his life and could the new model
would doubtless be higher purpose than
the leadership of the machine and sue
cess IN the battles which, when won. are
OF no consequence.

VACATION DAYS.

UNDOUBTEDLY many persons take
~ vacations who really do not need
them. and it is equally certain that
many who need them do not get them;
but the VACATION idea has become Arm

its obligations are coming to be re-
cognized by employers.

there grows a species OF priclsly pear
which has no spines or spikes. the only
thorn with which the plant is endowed
being the spicules found withia the leaves.
A plant Of this variety was set out in the
experimental grounds and crossed or hy-
bridized with FIVE Northern species, pro-
ducing a type in which the spines were
almost eliminated. Continued crossings
produced in the fifth or sixth generations
which was completely thornless. Succeed
ing Efforts resulted in a cactus in which
every evidence Of even a splcule had van
ished. The new plant is hardy and Wig
orous growth. One plant in the grounds is
three years old and stands eight feet
high, covering "A space perhaps 1--WE feet
square Upon it there are one hundred
and seventy leaves and the whole plant
weighs nine hundred pounds. The fruit
is OF delicious favor. somewhat like the
pineapple, only more delicate. The deserts

But. alas, for the emptiness Of human
hopes. The kaiser-and he takes pains TO
have the fact announced from Bsrl'n-not
only tcld the car that he was badly whip
ped and must do everything for peace,
but also Informed him that he thought
Emperor Nicholas could attain full un-
derstanding and reconciliation with the
discontinued portions Of his people only

II Il sounds queer to have Kaiser VIII
liam advise brother monarch to make
any concessions to the people, IL must be
remembered that his Germanic Majesty
wants the trade Of adjacent Russia and
knows that Il can only be enjoyed when
the Muscovite ferment is quoted down.
For the winning Of that advantage he IS
even willing that the Russian populace
shall have a little freedom.

Summer railway travelling across Cali

Lake Shore Railway engineer. If it meets
the expectation raised by well advanced
experiments IL will make summer railway
travel a pleasure instead Of the torture II
is usually.
The device in question cools and purifes
the air in the passenger coaches OF a
train. the process being simple and APP
parently Inexpensive. According to a
description it consists Of huge atomizer
so constructed that gusts of cool and
moist air. coming directly from freezing

The air expelled from the atomizer is first
filtered and then cooled by being circuit
ated in chilled pipes. Before being liber-
ated In the cars IL is rioistened with
SPRAYS of pure water. II is claimed that
the moisture collects dust particles and
precipitates them"
The plan thus described appears to be
feasible. Local interest in ii is stimulated
by the intimation that Southern Pacific
managers are watching its development
