good taste in the cut of her gown,
the style of her hat, or the cOmbi-
nation of colors in one or both. For
a man who has led so busy and
strenuous a life as Senator Tillman
few people would suspect that he
has developed so fine a taste. In
the matter of flowers he is also a
connoisseur. He has on his planta-
ton in South Carolina one of the
finest flower gardens in the United
States, and his great chum, former
Senator Chandler, enjoys nothing
better than a visit to the Tillman
home, or a gift of rare roses from
the Tillman garden. The Tillmans
have great boxes of these flowers
sent to them about once a week
whenever they are in Washington in
the winter.

There's been a Weary Willie on
every corner in Manila all the time
for a long while" said soldier of
the Twelfth infantry. The SOL
der was discussing communica-
ton recently sent TO Secretary of
War Taft by the chief of the bureau
Of tnsuIar affairs, in which the chief
informed the secretary that the time
was at hand to solve the problem of
how to drive the "hoboes" out of
Manila.
For years every merchant vessel
mat has touched at the great Philip
pine port has left behind her a
Tramp or two, and now the city IS
simply overrun by them. According
10 the soldiers who have just re-
turned to this country from the is
land, the hoboes have become a serl-
GUS impediment to the progress OF
lhe islands. Not only do they come
IN merchant vessels, but in the army
transports as we'll, managing, despite
'he officers, to stow away in the yes
sells. 1t is impossible to detect them
until the ship is well out to sea-
men they appear on deck to ask for
something to eat.

President Roosevelt has gotten IN
more muses. than any other man
who ever occupied that office. His
latest is with Bellamy Storer, recent
ambassador from the United States
TO Austria-Hungary, and both the
president and Mr. Storer have ac-
cused the other of straying from the
nath of truth. The controversy has
become sensational. In a statement
in reply to one from the president
Mr.. stoer says:

NEW YORKS OLD HORSE CARS
THESE ANTIQUATED RELICS ARE
STILL IN USE IN GOTHAM.
More of Them i'm That City Than i'm
All the Rest of the United

Facts which have just come to
light show that when the average
New Yorker visiting in other cities
describes with pride the greatness of
the metropolis certain of his re-
marks should be taken with grain
of salt For instance, good deal
has been said about the subway as
an Illustration of the city's up-to-
date transportation system. But on
top of the fact that the subway has
already reached the limit of ade-
quacy the figures show that the city
has not so much to boast of after
all. There is another side to the
question which may be summed UP
in the statement borne out by fig
ures, that in antiquated street car
service New York leads the whole
country. Manhattan borough alone
has more old-fashioned horse cars
than all the rest of the United States
together, even counting the mule
cars in the south. The miles of
horsecar lines operated in the city
total a little more than SO, as
against 213 miles of trolley track
It takes 1888 horses to pull the
.394 cars of this supposedly outgroWn
equipment Last week car 234, the
last of the old horse cars to be run
on Grand street, was retired. For
years it has been run only as a fran
chise holder, humping along over
cobblestones when tracks were lack
ing, with never a passenger to en-
liven the lives of the crew. Manned
by a couple of sailors, the car has
long been known as the Packet,
and these same sailors are now re-
ioicing that she has at last, as they
express it, reached harbor. me
truth of the whole matter is that
the city's transportation lines are
even now inadequate One day last
week 1,486,777 nickles were taken
in, of which $50, 634 were in the sub
way. This system was designed to
handle a maximum of only 100000
passengers a day, so that trouble
looks close ahead. Meanwhile, the
city continues to hold the record for
horse car equipment.

FARMER CAN'T SHIP MEAT
MUST HAVE GOVERNMENT o. X.
IF 1T CROSSES STATE LINE.
The South Seems to Be Getting the
Little End of the Hepburn Rail-
road Rate Bill.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Southern
senators and representatives will be
the more ready to force the tariff
issue to the front during the present
session of congress and to oppose
the centralizing policies of President
Roosevelt as a result of the eXpe-
rience of their section under laws
passed at the last session increasing
the powers of the president at the
expense of the states. The meat in
spection law, afor instance, as en-
forced by the administration, gives
to the big establishment the bene-
fit of a government guarantee of
the quality of its product, but the
southern farmer who kills few cat
tie or a few hogs to be marketed
in nearby city, across a state line,
finds that the government will not
allow him to ship his meat, and his
customers have to buy of the big
packers. The democratic members
of congress who voted for the Hep
burn railroad rate law believed that
it was to be enforced so as to put
a stop to real transportation abuses,
and had no idea it would be con-

to the surprise of many, our grove has gone
through the freeze uninjured. It being as nice
and green now as before the freeze. We are
telling people that it is because we use your
fertilizer, and that it being in good condition
has stood the cold wave while many near US
will lose all the leaves from the trees.

in your section to get the official publ

monthly. 1t is the only way to
strengthen in any great degree our

The other way I want you to help
me is to take the BOARD or Brick

get some of your friends to help you

cents each This S. goes to help can

Home. You know we take blind ba-
bies from any state, and now we must

folks who have come to us for
care The debt on our home is $4,000
We have five years to pay it in, and
we have voted that everybody who
takes ten cent board or brick will
have special good luck for the year.

body can refuse to buy when you say

home in the great state of New York.
If you can answer these two calls
for me, you will be doing more sun

start, the word ''fail'' will never catch

delightful fall and winter, am, yours

When the blind children are eight
years old they are sent to the blind
school in Brooklyn, and some one is
supposed to assist them to an outfit,
but for "Annie" some one did not ap-
pear and Mrs. Tregear did the best she
could, but this year Sunshine is taking
the place. One dear lady, herself the
most sunshiny of shut-ins, unable to
walk or move far without help, con
.tributed a dollar which is to 90 toward
shoes. Others provide material and
others will help in making garments
and in other ways.

Florida Sunshine.

From Crescent City, Florida, comes
a note from Mary Deaton, who with
others of new mates has been our dear
sunshine workers for some time now.
Dear Mrs. Alden: The Sunshine
Society of Crescent City sends $40
for the work of the society. Yours
truly, Mary Deaton, Secretary.
Could our young people see the
blind children at their play and hear
their sweet voices and bright remarks,
they would never cease from desiring
to scatter sunshine to- those who need
it in their homes, at school and abroad.
So many incidents crowd that we can
only say just keep ON doing the small
daily acts and enlist your friends in
helping out in every least way. A
smile, a friendly word, a penny saved
from some indulgence, a great thing
if it comes. Be right and thus many
will be cheered and no fra gments will
be lost. Mrs. Bradt

vain. can inspiration came to me to
write the words for a song," choosing
coon song of which he had sung
many times in his stage career. ''On
borrowed paper, and with a borrowed
pen and ink, the words of my first
lyric were dedicated to fellow pa
tient." It went ON it's way to cele
brated actress in borrowed envelope,
with a borrowed stamp, and brought
from the famous singer a check for
500 Another 500 followed for another
song. With this he moved to another
hospital, and from there sent 'fSundays
in the Old Church" to the Christian
Herald, and an eight-verse humorous
poem to the Youths Companion. A
collapse followed, and in the slang of
the day ''he was up against a tough
proposition" One piece in which he
had sublime faith was sent out TWEEN
ty-eight times, finally on the twenty
nineth being accepted by the Brown
Book, of Boston, with a substantial
check This was entitled ''The Trage-
dy of an Apple" and it took two years
to sell it. Moving to a home for in
curables his trails were almost past
bearing much of his work being given
away, and in one case the meager sum
received was carried out by a friend
to cash, and the friend never returned,
two months work going with him.
After six years of unspeakable misery
he turned his back on hospitals, and
established a home of his own. For
three years he had not seen a vestige
of nature, only telling the seasons
from the heat or cold. We can i'm
agine "what was his delight to leave
the scenes of his sufferings and have
his bed in window, which gave a
splendid view of the world" 81 shall

watched the first automobile chug

perhaps the most delightful and re
freshing sight was a band of lovely

my window" For a week / could do
nothing but gaze out of my window,
and laugh and sing, and thank God
I was alive. 1T was glorious! In
March, 1908, my connection with Com
fort began. This was one epoch in
my life, as it brought me the abiding
love of 100000 Of people. AS Uncle

In connection with Comfort, I have

make this world a better place to live
in. 1 have organized similar leagues
in other magazines and my mail in
connection with this work ranges from
one to two thousand letters per week
the year round.
Through these letters I have been
able to- brighten the lives and obtain
substantial aid for hundreds of poor,
helpless, sick and suffering "shut-ins,"
scattered all over this broad land.

What is vital i'm the teachings of

To teach school our wayward de
