THE NATURAL RESULT.

About the only men who learn a
trade any more are those who are
sent to the penitentiary. The country
is being imposed upon more and more
every year by men who have not mas
tered the trade which they claim to
understand. AS soon as a young man
can distinguish the difference between
a hand saw and a jack plane he is a
carpenter" If he can tell mortar
from pancake batter. he is a plasterer.
If he can pick a paint brush out
of pile where half Of the bunch
are whisk broOmS, he hangs up his
sign as a painter If he can screw the
lid on a fruit jar so ii won't leak he
Is plumber. If he can tell the differ
ence between a shooting stick and a
Job stick. he is printer, qualified to
travel and receive wages as such.
Lawyers and doctors are obliged to
pass examinations in their profession
before they are permitted to engage in
their workout the public is imposed
upon by so-called carpenters. painters,
plum bers. printers. who never learn a
trade; imposed upon by men who
butt in in a trade. a business or a
profession which they do not under
stand and have not fitted themselves
for.=Mankato Advocate.
All of which has considerable truth
In it. But there is another side to be
considered. If there was not a de-
mand for the labor Of these people as
skilled workmen they would not set
themselves up as finished mechanics
until they had mastered their respec-
tive trades.
There are not carpenters enough to
do the building demanded, and so
every man who can drive a nail sets
himself up as a carpenter-unless he
adopts some other trade. The same
thing IS true in all other trades. Skilled
labor IS scarce. and the people fall
back on to that which is only partly
skilled. The old law of supply and de-
mand has not yet been repealed in the
labor world. Only when the products

dred and six will pass into history. The
old year is about to die.
And a pretty good old year it has
been. In material prosperity it stands
unexcelled in this land of ours. In fact
our prosperity has been beyond our
ability to handle it, and car shortages
and threatened monetary stringencies
on Wall Street have resulted.
It has been an era of worldwide ex-
pansion Two or three years ago when
the -teel mills and the factories reach
ed their full capacity in turning out
their product, it was freely predicted
by the wise men that the good times
could not last and that the pendulum
would Immediately swing the other
way. TT in spite of that the factories
have been enlarged and today they are
away behind with their orders
Wages are increasing. but so is the
cost of living, so that to the laboring
man these two items are an offset, ex-
cept that in the general average Of
things higher wages and higher prices
make far better times for all.
Nineteen Hundred and Six, however.
has been a progressive one. The last
Chief among them were the San Fran
cisco and Valparaiso earthquakes. and
the w. ar goes out amid the sorrow
caused by a terrible railroad wreck
near the national capital.
In politics and government the year
has ben a progressive one. The last
congress, spurred to action by Theo-
dore Roose ,eIt. broke away from the
interests" and enacted more good legis-
lation In-n has any previous congress
for years. The public conscience has
been wonderfully awakened and the
people have a finer sense of honesty
and integrity, both public and private.
than they have had before since the
modern mad chase Of the dollar began.
Nineteen Hundred and Six will go
down in history as one OF the best
years possibly the very best-thus far
in the history OF the American nation.

A BAs THE GUN-TOTFR.

There is a police judge out at
Hutchinson who deserves the applause
Of all law-abiding people. He has de-
clared that the gun-toter must be
abated in Hutchinson.
A man was recently found loafng
around a Hutchinson depot with a
suspicious looking pistol pocket. He
objected to being searched, but the
officer found the revolver just the
same. and the gun-toter was assessed
the sum Of fifteen dollars by the police
judge and also given the information
that it would cost him considerable
more should the performance be
repeated.
If the gun-toter were abated three
fourths of the shootings and killings
would not happen. The peaceably-
inclined man has no excuse for carry
ing a revolver in the daytime, nor at
night unless he is out late and needs
it for protection from footpads. The
coward and the bully frequently carry
guns to bolster up their courage, and
the man who is looking for a chance
TO pick a quarrel with his neighbor
usually has one concealed about his
person. Such persons. together with
the idiot who thinks 1t smart to carry
gun and who is almost invariably
careless in its use, should be sup
pressed.

JANA WKER JOTS

Osborne Farmer: There are people in
every community OF such a suspicious
turn of mind that whenever the train Is
late they halfway think the postmaster
is 10 blame for 1t.
Deacon Walker, who has been on the
market a good. many years, but who
has not yet been bid in, is responsible
for this opinion. The matrimonial mar
ket isn't exactly like the cattle market.
On the cattle market the scrubs are al
ways the last to be taken"
Hog item in the Brown County
World: Benjamin Beeby, of COTS, has

the hog crop?
Story told by Kansas editor: While
in grocery store the other day two
young men heard the proprietor order
the boy to throw out several bushels of
waste exclaimed one of the young
men. A very stout lady near turned
and glared at him: Just mind your
own business" she snapped, and he is
stu trying to figure out what was
wrong with her.
A Cuba young man who called on
girl the other evening. says the Day
light. was somewhat shocked when he
was told by her mother that Mary was
washing dishes in the kitchen, and, Ito
step right out and see her" He went
through a very neat looking dining
room, into a kitchen equally neat and
pretty. and found Mary with her hands
in dishpan. She looked so we'll at her
task that he asked her to be his own
on the spot. Mary's mother is the right
kind of matchmaker.
A corn farmers experience related by
the Scandal Journal: Frank Goodwin
has solved one problem of good farming
to his own satisfaction at least His
corn which was not disced before plant
ing averaged about IS bushels to the
acre. That which was disced once went
Is and that disced twice about 40. while
one small patch, which he went over
five or six times, yielded 65 bushels
His average was about IS bushels to the
acre Hereafter, he will know one thing
10 do to get corn crop in Kansas.

GLOBE SIGHTS
From the Atchison Globe. ]


There is at least this greater com
fort with a son than with a daughter:
The son never worries his mother to
death borrowing her ribbons, gloves
and other finery.
At the bottom of every mans hope
that the health OF his wife's parents
viii remain good. is the fear that if
one of them gets sick and dies the
other may come to his house to live
It may be treason to say it. but
connected with the culinary stunts
mother used to perform Almost any
thing tastes good to a hungry boy.
There is this difference The men
feel aggrieved if they gave a present
nicer than they got and the women
are distressed If they received nicer
gifts than they gave. Up S.-This
was written by woman.l
We are always hearing of poor
cooks. In justice to the women. we
must say that we have known very
few poor cooks. Certainly we have
never lived around one. we have al
ways had good things to eat.
At a banquet a lot of old fellows
eat a lot of stuff that isn't good for
them, at time when they should be
in bed, and say they feel as young as
hey ever did. But the next day they
know they are not as young as they
used to be.
Here is an old fashioned expression
for rebuking a woman who works
herself to death in keeping her house
excessively clean, which you seldom
hear any moro: "Some day you Will
have to take off your apron and lie
down in the dirt"
An Atchison man who hasn't any
thing to do. often wanders into the
Globe Office, and later complains to
his friends because more attention is
not paid him, 1t requires a great deal
of nerve for an idle man to demand
that a busy man quit his work to loaf
with him.
An Atchison man who was formerly
a professional cook, says only one
woman in five can prepare a really
good meal; that If more women would
give up their useless fads, and study
cooking. hygiene, and household
economy. the world would be better
of. Why isn't the idea a good one?
Why wouldn't a cooking club be as
interesting as a whist club?

A Lesson FOR MERCHANTS.


There is a lesson for every merchant
in the experience told by a representative
Of Chicago mail order house to a
gathering of newspaper men up in
Iowa. He said that the mail order
business depended entirely upon adver-
Using He made one remark that mer-
chants should heed. He says they take
the local papers and directed their
special efforts to communities where
the merchants were not up-to-date ad-
vertisers. If the mail order man finds
that any line of business in any town
Or city is not we'll advertised, as for
instance, furniture, he said that they
flood that territory with their litera-
ture and always with satisfactory re-
suits. He believed it true. he said
that country merchants could greatly
cripple the mail order houses If they
would advertise freely and in the right
manner. He said that every adver-
tisement should describe infinitely the
articles to be sold and quote the prices.
Here is food for thought by merchants
who fear the effect Of mail order
houses.
