IGNORED THE WARNING

The value of the signal service was aptly demonstrated by the great storm which devastated the Gulf coast from the north of the Mississippi to the west shore of Florida few days ago. The sig nal service foretold the coming of that storm several days in advance and designated the line of coast it would strike. Had the inhabitants of the coast region between Lake Pontchartrain and Mobile have ta- ken warning and prepared them selves for the hurricane, the loss of life and property would have been much smaller than it was ship ping, especially, would have been preserved from great injury. But it is the popular habit to laugh at the signal service and to ignore it's storm predictions, hence the timely warning given the gulf people did little to avert the damage. The great storm which overwhelmed Galveston in 1900 vas ioretold sey- eral days in advance, but the warn. ing was unheeded. By and by the people will come to study storm signals and pay intelligent heed to the predictions sent out.

Forty years ago the seven great Dondon hospitals spent annually for alcohol $40,OO0 and s10,000 for milk. Now the larger sum is spent for milk and the smaller for alco- hol. In the infrmary at Salisbury twenty five years ago, s1 800 year was spent for alcoholic liquors. h 1905 it was only $35. This is due to greater knowledge of its nature and effects.

OUR QUEER LANGUAGE

Imagine yourself a foreigner and
 striving to master the construction

Perhaps you may be gazing at number of vessels on the watel and exclaim: See what a flock of ships" You are at once told that a flock of ships is called 6 feet, and that a fleet oi ships is called q flock It might also be added for your future guidance that q flock of girls is called 2 beyy, while q beyy oi wolves is called a pack; yet pack of thieves is called a gang; and a gang of angels is called host but q host of porpoises is called a shoal and shoal of buffaloes is called a herd.

Only twenty-three fires were attributed to ascendiarism and but q dozen persons were sentenced for arson. The causes of some Of these fires in 2 great city are instructive The greatest cause was carelessness in the use of matches, to which 751 were attributable. Carelessness in the use of cigars, cigarettes and pipes was responsible for 404. Chil- dren playing with matches or fire started 244. Only seventy-five of the fires were caused by defective insulation, in 8 city fairly enwound in electric wiring.

Is there anything more exasper- ating than to have somebody who is talking to look over your head, or to one side of you all the time he is trying to convey his thought to you? If a man will not look you in the face while he talks, you may be pretty, sure that you will not lose much if you turn your ear in another direction.

Did you ever watch the man with nothing to do? Well, he has the hardest job of any - ever studied. Loafng and idling time away may look good to the man man who is putting in ten hours a day for six days out of the week, but let him loaf for a couple of weeks and the chances are that he will be the most unhappy and dis contepted man in town.

Men are queer. Wouldn't there be roar when they went home to their meals if they had to climb up on high stool in front Of table on which there was no cloth, and aat their meals in that fashion, yet d majority of men, when they go into a restaurant to eat, will pick out the high stool and the lunch counter in preference to a comfort able chair with a cloth covered ta- bles. 4 man will borrow 6 chew oi of tobacco and most of them will set their teeth into the plug right where some other man gnawed out a chew Offer him piece of pie at home from which his wife ar or2 of the children had taken Q bite and he would holler his head of. At home he will not drink out of 8 glass cup from which some one oi his family had been drinking Call him into the back stall of c livery barn, pull out bottle and he will shove the neck half way down h. throat in order to get swig, after half dozen fellers had the neck oi the bottle in their mouths.

Ii the men who do the mercan- tile business Of this town were not so busy, they could have time to try some means of having the big annual potlatch held at Wrangell instead of Kaake, as is now done, A festival of this kind, lasting over a week, attracts natives from quite long distances. Every Indian has the majority of his seasons earn ings in his pocket, and the aggre gate amount represents no small item. Concerted action on the part of the merchants might result in offering some inducement to bring this festival annually to Wrangell, and a good many dollars would be left here. It would pay to charter a small steamer to transport all the natives who wish 10 come to and from Wrangell at the time of the potlatch.

The Editor and the Advertiser.

Once on time l knew man
Who said it didn't pay
To advertise the goods he had
To sell or trade away.
To prove that he was off his base
And make him clearly see,
1 gave him half page of space
And let him have it free.
1t almost scared him into fits
To see himself displayed
AS displayed him, but he felt
Its influence on his trade.
kept it up, his business doomed,
The customers swOOped down
Upon his store until he had
The biggest rush in town.
One day went around to call
And found him on the run,
With people waiting for their turn
When those ahead were done.
"Well, well."i cried in great delight
To see things boom that way.
"Don't advertising pay, old man?"
What have you got to say ?"
1 thought he'd like my work so much,
And think my plan so nice,
That he'd not only praise my wares,
But pay me double price.
And did he do it? Listen, please;
l thought that I'd drop dead
When suddenly he turned on me
And vigorously said:
"Take out that advertisement, quick;
GOldern your pesky skin,
I'll never git a chance to rest
Ez long ez it stays in"

Ministers Vacations.

Bishop McVickar of Rhode islam d
said one day in Providence, apropo S
of vacations:
SIT is sometimes asserted that cleryg-
men take too many vacations. This is
an important question, and an original
light was once thrown upon it by a
prominent Philadelphia.
ga gentleman, just back from Eu-
rope, said to this Philadelphian:
"'By the way, | met your minister
in Paris last month";
"'Yes?' drawled the Philadelphia,
with languid interest. And what did
he have to say for himself?'
"'He said, replied the tourist, that
he was taking a long vacation. 1t
seemed to me, though, that he looked
remarkably we'll. He didn't seem in
any great need of rest
Ono said the Philadelphian, calm
ly; and he wasn't, either. 1t was his
congregation that needed rest"

TO REPUBLICANS:
We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of a Republican

The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-

farmers are greatly harassed every
winter by the depredations of countless
hocks of wild geese, which swarm over
the broad grain fields and destroy the
young, sprouting grain-stalks, says
Youths Companion. Indeed, so serious
has this annual invasion become that
nearly all the large farms have EN-
ployes who regularly patrol the fields
and do nothing but keep the feathered
pests on the wing.
One of the most novel blinds or stalk
ers ever used In that section, or any
other, for the purpose of destroying
the geese, is that of a Colusa farmer
who lives on the bank of the Sacra-
mento. He has a big red steer which
he has trained to stalk geese. The steer
walks around a flock of geese in an
decreasing circle, his master,
armed with a repeating shotgun, walk
ing beside him, but on the farther side
from the flock.
The geese have become so used to
seeing animals grazing near that they
pay no attention to them so the farmer
is enabled to get within shotgun dis
lance and pour a broadside into the
flock while it is feeding on the ground,
and two more shots before the birds are
out of range when they rise.
This dumb hunter is held IN great
esteem by its owner and his family, 1t
is needless to state, and receives the
best of everything.
