A Public BenefactOr.


President Roosevet's intense dis
like of "the man with the muck rake
can hardly be wondered at, for "the
man" has uncovered 60 many scan
dals that the Roosevelt Administra-
ton will go down into history as the
disreputable era of Republican su-
premacy. If there had been no muck,
the rake would have remained idle.
Was not a rake necessary to uncover
the Insurance grating, the postal
frauds, the land frauds, the Panama
grating and Encouragement, and
would President Roosevelt have pre-
vented theexposure OF these scandals,
because it unmasked the corruption
or connivance of some of the highest
officials OF the Republican party? 1t
10 no easy or pleasant task to WELD
the rake, but the man who does stir
up the muck in an overhanded man.
ner, telling the truth without fear, OF
favor, is a public benefactor. The
fact is, the Republican politicians had
become so intrenched in power that
the grafters thought that anything
they did, however vicious, would bt
unobserved by the people, but the
man with the rake with his publicity
exposed them and the Republican
party which was responsible for them

Yours truly,

Postmaster-General Cortelyou
told the Senate Committee on Post
Offices and Post. Roads that the de-
partment had not recommended
the granting of railroad mail SUBJ
sidy, but that mo objection had
been raised against it." Cortelyou
evidently believes it good policy
not to oppose the railroads in their
graft, or he might not find it easy
to collect campaigne funds from the
corporations for the next national
election.

know that Uncle Sam has gone in
to cement manufacturing in Arizo-

And yet Congress refuses to revise

on learning of the burning Of Chi

than five times this number or over
5000 people died from pneumonia in

of these cases of pneumonia resulted
from cold and could have been pre-
vented by the timely use of Chamber
lains Cough Remedy. A great many
who had every reason to fear pneu-

prompt use of this remedy. The fol-

A Melancholy Career.


A young man who will some day in
herit an enormous fortune and who is
being brought up as gentleman" was
interviewed the other day. Among 9TH
er things he said, eff did not have my
career cut out for me, if were to lose
my fortune, 1 should turn to the law
and study some phases Of it that inter
est me greatly"
Probably if the young man were
actually thrown on his own resources
he would resort to something less en-
tirely elegant and more useful. But,
that aside, what is this "career" that
he fancies he has "cut out" for him?
To take care Of his property that is, to
spend his life at an occupation similar
to that Of a Waterman or policeman,
but far more mechanical and less ex-
citing What miserable, what a
melancholy conception Of career! To
spend ones life at just making money
is poor enough use Of the one chance
to live; to spend it at watching a heap
Of money-what dullness, what dreari-
ness! And in world teeming with OPP
portunities to live intensely, wildly, in
terestingly, usefully!Saturday Even

Duck Notes.

Never hurry the laying ducks. 1t
usually Injuries them, sometimes seri-
ously. When handling ducks never
hold them by the wings.
When sickness attacks ducks it is
useless to doctor. The best remedy for
duck ailments is plenty of sliced raw
onion in the mash and an absolutely
dry, soft bed.
When you desire Runner ducks for
egg production have four to five ducks
with an unrelated drake. Two ducks
and one drake usually produce too
large percentage of brakes, and they
don't pay to fatten.
Ducks should never be permitted to
run with fowls. They both do best in
pens by themselves.
When fowls and ducks are allowed
to drink from the same vessel look out
for disease.
