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

thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-

The orchid Family.

There seems to be a general miscon-
ception as to just what an orchid is.
Many call any plant which grows on a
tree or has some peculiar feature an
orchid. This mistake is frequently
made with the pitcher plants and the
"tail flowers" The uniting in one or
gan, called the column, Of the stamens
and pistils serves to distinguish the
orchid family from all related ones.
The orchid family embraces 5000 or
1000 species, OF which comparatively
few are found In the warm temperate
and almost none In the cold temperate
zones. They are mostly distributed in
the tropical regions, in hot, humid
places. Orchids, however, do not inva.
riably prefer humid conditions. Nearly
all tropical orchids grow On trees, but
In temperate regions they grow In
earths-Youth's Companion.

"The indigestion must be a very

of warm milk to which teaspoonful

plain biscuit or two and some very

subtle harmony between these ingre-
dents that does the business.

LIFE ON EASY STREET.
It Is an Ideal Place and Worth striv.
ing For.


II Is an Ideal Place and Worth striv-
ing For.
There are more strong limbed clear
headed, brave hearted people living on
Easy street than anywhere else in this
broad land, and their prime condition
Is the natural consequence OF living
there, for, although you may not have
thought of it, there is close relation
ship existing between good health and
the consciousness of getting on we'll In
life. You can see this for yourself If
you will note how a strong man droops,
like frost nipped flower, who by some
mistake loses his position, his posses
sions or the esteem of his fellows, one
or all. Shylock made a hard bargain
with a borrower, and in his effort to
foreclose the bond lost his cash and
won the contempt and scorn of all men.
Mental disturbance followed, including
physical Ill being, and, staggering away
from the judges bench and clutching
at the air, he cried, 81 am not wellp
But you need not go back SO far to get
an illustration.
by observing for yourself how the gain,
or even the anticipated gain, OF home
on Easy street will make a sick man
well, quicken dying hopes into life and
change the water Of sorrow into the
wine of JOY. Recent literature has re-
minded US how a happy turn in the
tide Of the affairs Of Josiah Wedgwood
afterward to become the worlds great
pioneer pottery artist and inventor,
raised him from an invalid's couch and
started him upon the road to afIluence
and distinction among England's in
dustrlal princes. Similarly Mary Woll-
stonecraft, afterward the mother of the
poet Shelley's wife, Ill from neglect and
discouraged by hardships, was, by the
success Of her modest ventures in lit
erature, heartened to undertake her
great life work, which soon yielded her
a handsome royalty.
Read the story of Angelina, who
lives on East street and has no desire
to move and lose her clear headedness
and her health. She was engaged to
be married to Allan. He was a clerk
RECEIVING 9lz per week, ana sne earned
$50 month teaching school. After Il
few years Angelina explained her con-
tinued spinsterhood by saying that she
had given Allan time to develop into
a larger n..ney Gettcr, ana he had not
done it, 50 she decided against the ad-
Visibility OF exchanging an SS5
month position for a $50 a month hus-
band. It Is quite true that when pow
erty comes in at the door love flies out
of the window, but It is not because
the Angelinas are without sentiment.
1t is because love cannot feed on in
competency and thrives best on Easy
street.
So the Importance of everything that
Will aid any ono to get on in the world
Is established on a sure foundation
the testimony Of facts. We do not ex-
alt mere money getting above those
qualities Of head and heart which
make life worth living, but rather en-
phasize the honorable getting Of 1t as
conserver of them. And hence the
wisdom Of living on Easy street.-Cent

DEAD MEMS SHOES.
Peculiar Beliefs About Them That
Exist In the Old world.

Peculiar Beliefs About Them That
Exist In the Old world.
Dead mems shoes" Is a common ex-
preston, but means much In many
parts Of the old world, where the boots
of the dead are accorded much I'M
portancc.
In Scotland, in the northern parts Of
England, in Scandinavia, as well as in
Hungary, Croatia and Roumania, the
utmost care ~ taken among the lower
classes that oeach corpse IS provided
with a pair of good shoes before being
laid into the ground If the dead per
son happens 70 be tramp and to have
been found dead barefooted there viii
always be some charitable soul to fur
nlsh a pair Of good boots for interment
along With the corpse.
An Inspector Of police in Scotland has
been known TO purchase Of HIS own ac-
cord a new pair OF boots and to place
them in the grave, reopened for the
purpose, OF murdered stranger who
had been inadvertently Inferred bare
footed the day before.
This practice, which likewise prevails
among the Tslganes rs well as In many
parts of Asia, is attributable to the be-
lief that unless the dead are well shod
when buried their ghosts come back to
haunt the locality where they breathed
their last in search Of n pair of boots.
The shoes are popularly supposed to
be needed to pass In comfort and
safety the broad plains which the de
parted soul must traverse before II
can reach paradise. Among some ma
tlons these plains are declared to be
covered with furzes, thorns and mo-
rass, while other races say that they
consist Of burning sands. These plains
Of suffering are popularity credited with
forming a sort Of antecbamber to he'll.
1t Is for this reason that the boots Of
the dead are called "hell shoes" in Nor
way, Sweden, Finland and Denmark.

When SPENCER Travelled.

When Herbert Spencer went on a
long railway journey it was his prac-
tice TO have reserved for him a first
class compartment. Across the car
rlage he used to have hammock
swung, in which he Travelled to avoid
the vibration and concussion. There
was something funny in the spectacle
Of the staid philosopher travelling in
this fashion, and so it appeared to the
people who witnessed the preparations
for his departure. The inquisitives
were soon disappointed, for as soon as
Spencer recognized that he was being
made the object Of unsolicited atten-
ton he would shout out in stentorian
tones to the porters-he used to have
four to look after hlm-"Draw down

LAKE BOATS PAID.
Season just Closed Has Been the Most
Profitable Ever Known.

Chicago, Dec. 20.--Never before was
so much money paid for carrying
freight in lake vessels as during the
season Just closed. A rough estimate
places it at $s1.0OoOOO for coal, iron
ore, grain and lumber. The profits to
the vessels were perhaps the largest
in the history of the lakes.
Careful computations based on the
earnings of typical steamers show a
net profit on steel ships of about l3
per cent On wooden ships of between
5000 and $500 tons capacity, the prof
its have ranged as high as 80 per cent
with an average OF more than 25 per
cent on their insurance values.
The cause of this great prosperity
was the demand of the country for iron
and steel The total movement of iron
ore for the season was 37,513,5S9 tons
an increase of 4,036.685 tons over 1905,
Grain from Duluth moved in a larg-
er volume than ever before. There was
shipped from the head Of Lake Super
ior S1,608, 900 bushels, as compared with
59,676.000 bushels In 1905.

WON'T DISSOLVE

London, Dec. 2O.-There will be no

of the action of the house of lords in
defeating the governments education
bill. Although the rejection of this
main liberal measure of the session is
the most serious rebuff Sir Henry
Campbell- -Bannernans cabinet has yet
suffered, 1t is not regarded as being
sufficiently grave to necessitate an APP
peal to the country Whether at the
present moment the government could
successfully appeal to the nation on an
educational bill is question on which
even many liberals are in great doubt.
The only immediate effect of the step
taken by the upper house, therefore,
will be to give an enormous impetus
to the radical agitation in favor OF
curbing the veto powers of the peers
and to furnish the non on-conformists
with new gun and ammunition In
their fight for the disestablishment OF
the church of England.
