Her Sick Husband.

A man who had acquired the
impression that he was afflicted
with several serious diseases, was
in the habit of dosing himself
with patent medicines and.lying
in bed while his wife support ed
him and the rest of the family by
taking in washing. Finally a ply
sician, who was onto the sltua-
ton, remarked TO his wife:
I'M adam, if you will announce to
that husband OF yours that you
have concluded to take a Vaca-
ton from The tub, and that he
will have to either hustle for a
living or starve, you will see his
health improve faster than any
mans you ever saw.
Moral. There are plenty OF
people who imagine they are sick,
when, as a matter of fact it is
selfishness and laziness that ails
them.

What Socialism Is.
From WatsOn's Magazine.

From Watson's Magazine.
"No, no, no! Socialism does
not mean a division of property.
Watson says that because he is
ignorant and unfair. Socialism
means the COLLECTIVE ownership
of property"
What a precious thing the right
word is!
Collectivism
The Socialist agitator gets as
much unctuous comfort out of
the term Collectivism as the good
old Methodist sister derived from
"that blessed word 'Mesopota,
mia"
Yes, | am ignorant, but don't
mean to be unfair. Let us see :.
You propose to collect all the
private estates, and to form them
into one vast public estate; and
then you will allow to everybody
proprietary interest in and to
this public estate, without refer.
ence to who did or did not own
private estates
Yet you pretend to believe that
this is not division of proper
ty.
Brothers, are you deceiving
yourselves when you proclaim
such contradictory doctrine, or
do you merely seek to deceive
others +?
When our barbaric German an
cestors in the olden time had
overrun some province of the
wealthier but weaker Roman EN-.
pire, it was their custom at the
end Of the marauding campaign
to collect into one huge pile the
spoil of battle. Gold and silver
from the rich mans chests, cat
tie from the poor mans field,
precious vessels from temple and
church, prOmiscuous loot from
palace and hut, from bazaar and
shrine, built up the heap Of booty
which belonged to the victors in
common.
ImpartialIy it had been strip
ped from the good and the bad
the high and the low, the coun-
try and the town.
Collectively 1t now belonged
to the good and the bad, the high
and the low, the country and the
town.
And from this great collective
hoard each memberof the maraud.
ing band took in proportion to
his merit.

A PERFECT HAND.
How lie Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public,


The story of how probably the
most perfect feminine hand in Ameri-
ca became known to the people is
rather interesting.
AS the story goes the possessor OF
the hand was with some friends In a
photographers one day and while
talking, held up piece of candy.
The pose of the hand with its per-
feet contour and faultless shape at
tracted the attention Of the artist who
proposed to photograph it. The re-
suit was a beautiful picture kept in
the family until one day, after read
ing a letter from someone inQuiring
as to who wrote the Postum and
Grape-Nuts advertisements, Mr. Post
said to his wife, I'VE receive so
many inquiries of this kind, that 1t Is
evident some people are curious
to know, suppose we let the advertis-
Using department have that picture
OF your hand to print and name It "a
Helping Hand" mrs. Post has as
sisted him in preparation of some Of
the NEST famous advertisements).
There was natural shrinking
from the publicity, but with an agree
ment that no name would accompany
the picture its use was granted.
The case was presented In the light
OF extending welcoming hand to the
friends of Postum and Grape.Nuts,
so the picture appeared on the back
covers OF many of the January and
February magazines and became
known to millions OF people.
Many artists have commented upon
II as probably the most perfect hand
in the world.
The advertising dept OF the Post
um Co. did not seem able to resist the
temptation to enlist the curiosity of
the public, by refraining from giving
the name OF the owner when the pic
ture appeared but stated that the
name would be given later in one OF
the newspaper announcements, thus
seeking to induce the readers to look
for and read the forthcoming adver.
tisements to learn the name of the
owner.
II This combination OF art and com
merce and the multitude OF inquiries
furnishes an excellent illustration OF
the interest the public takes in the
personal and family life of large
manufacturers whose names become
household words through extensive
and continuous announcements in
newspapers and periodicals.

Tuamotu islands, occurred on Febru-
airy 7 and g. The damage in Tahiti
is estimated at s1,OOO,OOO, and pre-
sumably a similar amount of property
was destroyed on the Tuamotu ISL
ands. The city OF Papeete was mum
dated and about seventy-fve buildings

consulate and the French government,

Of Papeete escaped injury owing to
the direction of the wind. but fears
are entertained for vessels which were
cruising near the Tuamotu Islands.
II is feared that there may have
been heavy loss of life in the lagoons
of the Tuamotu islands, though the
death of the guardian of the quaran.
tire station in Papeete is the only
fatality yet reported.
The schooner Papette was sub
merged for an hour near Anaa, Tua,

estimated that the waves were sixty
