shock to Benevolent Desire.

A benevolent neighbor Of ours Is
sometimes put to 1t to decide whether
her good intentions do not cause quite
as much trouble as they cure. The 9TH
er day she was visiting In the tene-
ment of a very poor family, In whose
wretched home she found a litter OF
puppies better cared for than the chill
dren and a basketful Of kittens alb
sorbing the attention which might have
been probably devoted to the hopping
Of the floor. While meditating how she
could best offer some gift Of money
which might be wisely applied to i'm
mediate necessities the eldest daugh-
ter Of the n room home abruptly ask
ed: Say, Mrs. X, wouldn't you like 10
buy two Of these puppies? You can
have them for a." Glad Of an oppor-
tunity to contribute the "a to q house
hold where 1t was evidently much
needed, she was opening her purse,
when she thought to inquire. MARY.
what will you do with the 81 II I give
It to your PAY the dog tax on the
rest Of the puppies" was the prompt
but unexpected reply. The problem of
poverty is not how to get money to the
hand Of the poor. but how to get it to
stay there.-Chicago Interior.

EcOnomixinE vital Force.

AS a result Of careful study and
many exhaustive experiments the writer
Is convinced that the average man or
woman uses up In the performance Of
ordinary everyday acts from three to
fifteen times the amount OF vital force
necessary. The vitality 80 wasted Is
in many cases sufficient to make all
the difference between weakness and
strength, between sickness and health
or between failure and success.
The ways In which vitality Is wasted
are many and various. We need con.
slider hut two-incorrect posture Of the
body and excessive muscular action.
Another and most far reaching factor
in nervous vital waste IL lack Of con-
troll Of the emotions. A bent body is
strained by its own weight, SO we fnd
that among people having such bodies
the mere act Of holding up the body in
standing, walking and moving about
requires from four to ten times as
much vital outlay as the straight
body.-Dr. w. n. G. Latson in Sue

In reply to President Roosevelt's message, the officers of the Standard Oil claim that they had merely taken advantage of natural conditions and that was the hard work and fore sight of the company to which 1t owed its supremacy in the oil field. The pipe line mode of transportation was cited as one instance of this. But the report shows that the pipe line idea, aside from not being the invention of the Standard, was bought up and controlled by the enormous power of money behind the company and that instead of being a natural advantage, it like many other of the so called natural advantages, was simply the result of cruel and killing competition on the part of the great company. The report cites par ticular instances where the law has been openly violated, giving names, dates and places that bring the grand total of the railroad determinations alone up to three-quarters of a mil lion dollars a year. Mir Garfield says in this connection: 'I have called attention to these specific instances merely to show the methods by which discrimination was attained and the devices which if legal are still merely devices to obtain exactly the same results as would be oD- tained by rebates on interstate busi- ness. If the existing law merely pro- hibits the particular device for ob- taining discrimination and permits the same result to be accomplished in different way. then the lesisla- tion is to that extent sham"

THE CUB REPORTER
By ALEX. MeD. sToDDARr
lCoPyrisht, isss, by Joseph B, Bowlss,

The chief was saying, "It means that you will have no home life, no social life, no time to get acquainted with your family, no regular hours. It means one daily grind. Go home" he added, showing his visitor toward the door. Think it over, come back in a week, and if you're sure, I'll see what I can do."
 The chief rarely gave his time to young men looking for "a chance on the city staif." He had no time for that. He left such details to the city editor. Tucker came straight from Harvard, with note from man who helped the chief in the early days when he was "cub" The chief received him in his bare. blank room and gave him ten minutes something unusual for the chief on such mat ter.
 Tucker came back in a week.
 Are you sure?" said the chief.
 "Yes."
 Come with me" he said.
 'Mr. Bowker, this is Mr.. Tucker" said the chief to the city editor. "Mr. Tucker wants job on the staff. I have told him that he'd do better in some other line of work. If there's a chance, wish you'd give him a show"
 Tucker began to thank the chief, but he had started for his room.
 Have chair" said Bowker.
 Bowker asked him what he had done and Tucker told him of his work on the college paper. Bowker listened, and said in conclusion:
 This is the dull season; one or two men are on vacation; but I'll put you on to see what sort of stuff is in you. Come around tomorrow and PH give you something to do. am very busy now. Good morning" He thanked the city editor. but the local mans attention was directed to his newspaper.
 Tucker turned up early the next day. Bill, one of the Continents boys, was opening the mail contain. ing the exchanges.
 "Well?" said Bill
 I'm the new man." said Tucker.
 "Oh!" said Bill, and continued his work of arranging the exchanges.

From the present indications. it would seem that the investigation Of the interstate commerce commission into the coal and oil carrying roads Is likely to continue for months. says Washington writer. The commission has already been at work for more than four weeks with the interruptions that are unavoidable if the business Of rail- road adjustment for which the com- mission was created is to continue at all. They have held hearings in three cities and have investigated only a small corner of the soft coal carrying business. Then they will have to 20 in to the details of the hard coal carrying lines and then into the oil lines. The latter probably is the biggest job of the three. Long before the end of the investigation. the decision m the rate bill will have been reached. Then the question arises as to what congress will do with the information obtained at such an expenditure of time. money and energy. Various views are ex- pressed. A good many of the railroad men who have so far appeared say that the commission could have glean- cd all the information if gobfrom them by reading the annual reports of the roads and studying the railroad man uel. They should remember of course that ihe annual reports of the rail roads are not compiled under oath. whereas the testimony they give ls under oath. and is supposed to be inc truth. Also it Is probable that a goo,l many things have come out in thp in- ve<tigation. for instance in the Phil. adelphin part If the inquiry. that the railroads never expected t0 see ex. plotted in print There is DO question that the soft cOal roads have proved couriu-ively hy their own agents ina, the same men who owned ths rsIlrnads also owned and controlled coal companies along The line 0f ihf rad and thus plainly violated the rul ing of iha supreme court in the Chess peake ard Ohio ease that It va' against public policy for railroads tr own or deal in the commodities thsy transported. ft was also sl,"wn in sev craI czses. .viere roads w're large eus carriers and had sdyanrssl the prize of freisilf on coal that they had heer careful not to advance the price Of freight oR fuel thst tlser nS-i 'hssn S.slves.

AN AMAZING eLuNoER.
Hot Words Against Roosevelt From
 Chancellor Day.

Hot Words Against Roosevelt From
 Chancellor Day.
 SYRACUSE. x. Y.. May s.-Charac- terizing the Standard Oil message of President Roosevelt as an amazing blunder" and arraigning the acts of the executive as savorlng of dangerous form of anarchism, James R. Day. chancellor of Syracuse university, in a letter issued here defends the oil trust and expresses the belief that the people will not accept improved charges from even the president.
 There are two forms 0 anarch- ism" says Dr. Day. The late ,prac- tices of our president are of the more dangerous of these two forms. That form of anarchism for which William R. Hearst stands is harmless in com parison with that which takes on the form of our institutions and laws and does unlawful. unjust and tyrannous things officially.
 The first can do little because his cloven foot is instantly seen whenever he steps. But anarchism clothed with official authority is covert. deceptive and perilous in the extreme. The press and the people who applaud 1t in the official form shudder at it as Hearst ism. They shudder at the lesser evil. They applaud the only form of an- archism that really threatens our re- public.
 "Anarchism which among anarchists is comparatively harmless Is not 90 when we adopt it into the administra- ton of our government. The president Of the United States has positively no right. constitutionally or morally. to attack corporate business or private business by name or judges who decide cases in opposition 10 his views.

 The chief came in and nodded to him. That was all.
 Richardson, the assistant city editor, came in and began his work of read. ing and clipping the morning papers. Richardson was one of those men who never wrote story without consider ing the feelings of others. It didn't make any difference what man had done, Richardson always remembered that the man had wife, or sister. or somebody, who loved him. Richard son was courteousness itself. He came over. saying in conversational way:
 You're MT. Tucker. the new man? an glad to meet you. I'm Mir Rich. srdson. and anything can do to help you I shall be glad to do"
 Tucker was taken by surprise and stammered his thanks.
 The city editor turned over to ths days page on the assignment book. and commenced to write from the piece of paper Richardson, the assistant city editor. handed over.
 Was Tucker forgotten? An hour had passed since Bowker sat in front of the untidy desk. Could he go to lunch, Tucker asked. He would be only 20 minutes. Bowker nodded with out looking up from over the proofs he was glancing through. Tucker came ! back in IS minutes. When he returned ! Bowker called him to his desk. It was 2:l5 D. m.

FRENCH ELECTIONS.

Count Boni de Castellane Wins Place
 In Chamber of Deputies.
 PARIS, May 8.--The election results show increasing government gains. The ministry of the interior gives the gains at thirty-five and the losses at eleven, or net gain of twenty seats. The effect of this is to give the bloc or groups supporting the gov ernment in the chamber of deputies, 243 votes against total vote of 146 for the opposition groups. The govern mental left, therefore. appears to be assured of majority of about 100.

Deep Breathing.

From Mothers Magazine
OF all the thousands OF exercises devised
by students and physicians for the improve
ment of the human body. none can be prac-
ticed oftener In daily work nor with less In
convenience than the art OF deep breathing.
It Is an art. It's first practice must be slow
on the part of one who has never attempted
1.-THE heart, lungs and stomach must be
regulated to 1t by slow proeesses-but when
oTce mastered 1t is a splendid curative for
what DR.. Heinberg calls "a stale body.
fudians-in fact. all the aboriginal races OF
any laud-are deep breathers. Why? Be-
cause they breathe naturally. Deep breath
ing Is nothing more nor less than breathing
as man and woman did when the world was
first created and the sweet fields of Eden
biossemed for sinless world.
Apache run mile after mile over barren
plain with lips closed. and nostrfls disfend-
ed. Their inhalations and exnalations OF
air were really from the stomach or just
above ft-the heart acting as a pump for the
pure and impure blood, the lungs acting as
mere conveyors of air. Each part Of the
body was performing a natural function.
since this was the aboriginal custom, or the
first way humans ever breathed, why so
many of us OF modern days have got away
from IT. / can only answer that bad Dress
ing. neglect of healthful exercise. wrong
eating. addiction to Injurious habits, have
taken away from man and woman many or
the best OF the things of the olden days
ing to them. and. please the God above us.
In q generation or two more we viii care
for our bodies as reiigiously as we do for
our souls. The two must be interlinked.
