NO KOWTOWlNG FOR HIM.
YIotel Man Who Was Not to Be Over
awed by D~ignitaries of
State.

They tell this one on former Gov.
George Hoadly of Ohio:
Once upon a time, in the midst or a
campaign, Mr.. Hoadly was to deliver
a speech at n little town in the great
and glorious Buckeye state. When ne
reached the one hotel the town boast
ed he walked up to the register ana
wrote his name. The proprietor-head-
- run
ner was behind the desk in his shirt
sleeves. his hat on the back of his
head, and a cigar stump held between
MS teeth. When the visitor had put
down his John Hancock, the factotum
turned the register around, read with
out the flicker of an eyelid the name
there written, wrote 10 beside II
with a lead pencil, and said;
you kin jest take yer grip right up
that stairway there an back down the
hall clean TO tn end. Yer rooms right
on tn left hand side Of tn hall, in tn
corner-number TO-"
With considerable establishment and
not a little injured dignity Ohio's chief
executive pointed to his name, smiled
family. and said:
81 am George Hoadly."
Yep; I notice said the rustic
without turning a hair. An yer
rooms right there at tn end OF tn
hall-number 10. Can't miss It."
With more hauteur, and almost
quivering with outraged importance,
the guest said impressively:
81 am George HOadly, governor of
the state of Ohio!"
Turning, then, with a look Of OK
asperated Impotence on his face, the
hotel man exclaimed:
"Well, what dye expect me t 10
kiss ye?"-JudGe.

to examinations which so many physi-

treat the disease; and this is the rea-

Tariff Relief.

The Baltimore Sun thinks that the
republicans, if they can convince the
people that they are in earnest as to
tariff reform, would be vastly stronger
in the next national campaign, than
they would be otherwise But to this
end performance is necessary. 1t says:
Why postpone relief until the spring
of 1909? The speaker and his commit
tee on rules could put a bill through
the house of representatives in less
than a week. 1t need not apply to all
the schedules, but only to a few in
which the consumer is most interested.
Then the bill could be hurried to the
senate, so that Senators Cullom,
Spooner and other republican senators,
who have been fervent advocates Of
revision for the last two months, might
have the opportunity to prove the quail
ity Of their faith by their works. The
passage of such a measure would do
more to convince the country of the
sincerity of republican statesmen than
sweeping promises of tariff revision to
be fulfilled in the near future" which
heretofore has always proved to be the
dim and distant future.

WOman'S World
Concerning Useless Old Women.
The Charm Of Tacful Silence.
Keep Out Of the Kitchen if You
Look For Good Results :: :: ::

What is your daily prayer?" was
the question asked at a recent religious
gathering of women. What petition
does each woman here repeat day aft
er day as the wish of her heart?"
Some answered one thing, some an
other, but one little woman excited
universal comment by replying, "I
pray every night and morning of my
life from the bottom of my heart that
may never become useless in my old
age
II see so many useless old women"
she went on to explain, women no
one would miss, and in most cases it
would be mercy for them to be taken
away. They are so bored with life, so
without resources, so heavily depend
ent on those about them, not only for
support, but for amusement They are
no earthly good either to themselves
or to others.
"Self1sh, fat old women, lean, quar-
relsome old women. old women who

The Standard oil Suit.

OF the suit filed at st. Louis against
the Standard Oil company the Chicago
News says:
Americans must hope that the day of
the robber trust is drawing to a close.
That the practices of Rockefeller and
his fellows and imitators have proved
of enormous injury not only to indi-
viduals, but to the country as a whole
can not be doubled. The combination
of business man and bandit is not a
desirable one, no matter how effective
it may have proved against those who
walk in the open. The day of honest
competition must be restored or the
day of the socialists is not far off. Men
who kill competition by secret con
spiracy must be restrained if individual
enterprise is not to perish. Very much
depends upon the outcome of this at
tack on the Standard Oil trust.

''Tact is supposed to be a womanly
virtue" observed Mrs. Brightly, ''but
you've got to convince me. A man
knows at least enough to keep quiet
at q crucial moment, and that is tact
in its highest form. Many a woman
does not possess that particular brand,
I can tell you.
There Is a time for everything and
everything has it's time" is a motto
which should hang in every woman's
boudoir.
''Why importune a man when he
is tired, when he is blue or, worse
still, when he is eating?
"I have known women so devoid Of
tact that they actually recited their
petty household woes when their hus-
bands were reading their stock ex-
change quotations and worrying their
heads off because they didn't know
just exactly how much money they had
lost
''Just imagine how interesting 1t
must be to hear that Bridget burned a

down five points, the next dividend
having been cut in half, and you are
wiped out of the game by this thought

of a contemporary:
Thus the black lie. issuing from

matter he declared:

An American Epidemic In Germany

Along a lonely by-path on the can
yon's edge a solitary horseman was
seen vending his weary way. He was
deep In thought and his sombrero was
pulled we'll down on his forehead. But
his ever-watchful eye was so trained
to catch every movement of twig or
cloud, etc. This style of literature, so
well known IN this country, it seems
has found its way over into Germany.
It is hard to imagine the phlegmatic
German youth, reared in the atmos-
phere of philosophy, as becoming alb
sorbed in the story of The Hero of
HelTs Gulch," The Mysterious Magi-
clan of Medicine Hat" and similar
tales, but he is said to have so com
pletely succumbed to the destinations
of the American dime novel that it is
to be barred from the empire.
Indeed, the increase Of Juvenile
crime is said to have been caused by
this straying from the path of the
staid. solemn. erudite literature of the
fatherland into the storied fields OF
Americas exaggerated imagination.
Germany certainly will have the sym
pathy of the land of the birth of this
affiiction.
1t would have been bad enough TO
have sent an epidemic of smallpox OF
yellow fever to the people from whom
America has received much of it's best
blood and most reliable citizenship
But to innoculate their boys with the
virus of the dime novel is respon-
sibiIity at which we shudder, knowing
best what it means.-Duluth News

within the past few years, but East
Chicagoans must admit that these po-
litical bunko games are always the
result of a lack of public spirit on
the part Of citizens. The thing that
makes 1t easier for the victims to bear

the animal to market.

I should deceive others"

from market with a larger sum than
the squire had expected.

The extreme penalty of the revoca-
