There has been considerable talk
accustomed by the incident in which
Mrs. Ida H. Reed figured, when her
husband was charged with cruelty
to a horse he owned. However the
charges are not yet proved, and
even if her husband was guilty it
does not follow necessarily that Mrs.
Reed may not have done all in her
power to prevent cruelty to animals.
Mrs. Reed is the president of the
W. C. T. u, and it would be natural
to expect that that organization
would stand Loyalty by her until
something is proved against her.
Instead of that the Richmond w. G.
T. U. comes out with a resolution
that she be requested to resign, pre-
facing this resolution thus that the
W. c.. T. L. includes in its depart
ments one called mercy. This be-
ing so, we would presume that it
applies to human beings as well as
animals, and this resolution shows
that that branch of the order lacks
mercy in dealing with their pres
ident. Mrs. Reed has visited this
town several times, and anyone who
is casually acquainted with her
would snot believe that she would
Willingly set foot upon a worm.

which were on the site now occu-

of real estate in that locality and
erected the house on Elm street

fully possessed of her faculties.

or this country which must oe solved if their trade with that and other StLth American countries is to be extended.
 Of Brltain's imports In 1904 the leading articles were the manufac- lures of cotton, which amounted to S1S.744.912: manufactures of iron and steel, Sl6. 197 .644: breadstuffs. S13,S09.- 731: wine. ST.6S5.6o5: provisions, ST. 207.4S0, and coal. s6,lS3,63s. Of all these. with the possible exception Of wine, the United States is manufac- turer, or agricultural producer, and t seems absurd that Brazil should be obliged to seek them In Europe instead of from her North American neighbor.
 Of the exports from Brazil during tl.e same period coffee and rubber comprised the principal articles. For the six months ended June 3d, 1904 and 1905, the value of coffee exported amousted to S31,l13,9l5 and S3S, ,449.- e4l, and the value of the rubber to S29, ,443,S77 and S39,6l0,43o. respective ly. This shows an increase in rubber exports of s10, ,166,562 for the six months under review.
 In recent years a large amount Of foreign capital has been invested In Brazilian enterprises, especially in the city of Rio Janeiro. German capital ists have established steamship lines for coast service, and American and Canadian capitalists have acquired the car lines, gas works and telephone ser vice at Rio Janeiro, the money invest cd being closely estimated at s25,000,- COG.
 This, however, Is only the beginning of the invasion of Brazil by foreign enterprise There Is determined movement now being made to revolu- tionIze the trade conditions there. The United States is reaching out to grasp what 1t considers to be its fair share of the trade which has been controlled So long by Great Britain and Germany. The greatest obstacle in the way of Its passage to the desired goal Is the HSdhucss Ol lAc this country. American exporters have not the facilities for transporting their goods to Brazil which are enjoyed by their rivals in Europe, and until this obstacle Is removed the progress of American trade must necessarily be slow.
 The record of the ports of Brazil for the year 1904 Is sad one for study by American exporters. During the year 17.407 sailing vessels and steamers en- tered the ports, with an aggregate ton mage of 11,s79,563. being an Increase of 1889 In the number of vessels and e11, ,265 In the tonnage. and of these the American flag Is represented as among the 299 of "other countries" not speci- fled because of the small number O their ships.

How He Got Rich.

The following incident occurred when I was a barefooted lad of 10 years, llv- Ing in an obscure country town In Maine. The wealthiest man in the con- munity was a certain MT. K, who was reputed to be worth s1O0.0o0, and to have an income of S20 a day.
 These amounts then seemed to me So stupendous that I often wondered how II was possible to acquire so much wealth and resolved at the next oppor. tunity I would ask him about it. Liv. ing. as I did, on the adjoining estate, and often doing some small chores for him. this opportunity soon came and l made the inquiry:
 MT. R.. how did you make so much money:" He looked at me a moment and, batting me on the shoulder, re, piled:

The very care that suf- ferer from heart disease takes of him. self or herself is calculated to lengthen his years indefinitely.

 The druggists cheerfulness was h. fectious, the genial interest of his talk made depression appear foolish, and the girl soon began to look more hope ful and even smile. After the druggist had gayly chatted with her a while she rose and walked out of the store with firm step.
 This druggist, though he would scorn the idea If suggested to him, Is bene- factor to humanity. He Is believer in the power of cheerfulness, and the good that he does In his peculiar way is not easy to estimate.
