FEELING RICH.

They say woman Is as old as she
feels, and perhaps man is as rich as
he feels. II feel like a rich man now, p"
said John D. Rockefeller while talking
to a friend at Tarrytown one day last
week. II never felt better in my life.
My digestion does not trouble me and
I can travel about my place here with
comfort and pleasure"
OF course Mr. Rockefeller could say
this and say it with JUNCTION He is so
rich that he can afford to feel rich if he
is well, and if he isn't he can afford to
feel that he can be sick or die in as
good style as anybody But there is
much in feeling. Some who are rich
don't feel rich. They say that Hetty
Green and Russell Sage don't, and there
are others Some who haven't any
thing but what they earn feel rich
while they are spending it, and there
are some VINO nave comparatively little
money who feel rich enough. So per
haps it is wise to practice feeling rich
rather than feeling poor. 1t doesn't
take much to live on and get through
the world with. SO says Andrew Car
negie, who is worth half billion or so
and he knows. Of course If one hap
pened to land in the poorhouse it would
seem little funny to feel rich there
but this is a funny world. Isn't an in
mate Of the poorhouse fairly we'll of
when the whole community is working
for him or her? Isn't that just what is
being done for Mr. Rockefeller and The
Others of his rich kind?

4 SOLID SPOT?

President Baer Of the Philadelphia
and Reading railroad has been describ-
ed as d good business man, and he now
seems to think that he is as good as
any of them. He is glad to be able to
say that the Philadelphia and Reading
railroad is as free from criticism as
any guild of railroad men in the Unit
ed States or elsewhere. And he adds:
The railroad companies are trustees
for the investment of thousands and
thousands of men and women, and the
officers for the railroad companies
should be men who will look after
these interests carefully and hold fast
to honesty Those who know us not
believe us to be tainted, but those who
come investigating US will be surprised.
They will not find us as others. They
will be able to find no wrong in even
the slightest part of our management
We do not ask to be excused from the
wickedness of human nature. but we
hold ourselves responsible for knowing
if that wickedness exists and to re-
move it,
Everybody who reads this will hope
that Mr.. Baeris confidence is not mis-
placed, and that he won't be surprised
as the president of the Pennsylvania
has been. These are queer times. A
month ago it was not generally believ-
ed that the Pennsylvania railroad men
had been doing business in She way
| they have been shown to be.

famine in small bills ever since Novem-
Der, 1905, and for over two months the
Treasury was unable to furnish any of
the denominations of SIS and SIS, be-
cause there We're not silver certificates
in abundance to exchange for the
smaller Sis and SIS, and there was no
way that the law permitted the issuing
Of any silver certificates unless silver
dollars were deposited in the Treas
ury for the same amount. This fact
was generally overlooked by the bank
ing community of the country, and they
expressed much surprise when they
found that they could not get silver
certificates in SIS, SIS and SIS by pre-
senting gold or gold certificates there
for, as the law was mandatory"
This bill should become a law. Then
if another law can be made which will
give us large bills enough all will be
well, or, at least. better.

We're taking no boarders this year,
That's settled and did and done.
And I'm watching, see, on the cross
roads here

And why am / doing that?
I'm guarding the place from harm.
Ill plug the first conner right under the

And bury him on the farm.

Delighted to have them come
To this sylvan resort where the maple

And the fodder was great, I yum!
All! that's when we made the hay
And lifted the mortgage, son.
But now I'm content to shunt them

With my rusty grandpap's gun.
Last summer they did the trick
Bueked against eggs and pork;
The way they eavorted it made us all
sick,
Them newfangled folks from York.
They struck for the whole wheat bread
And ducked at the ham and slaw!
They mousled all summer along instead
On bran mash, chop feed and straw
Along came the Ping Pong set
Five summers they'd hit the fare;
But they kicked like the others tc
mothers regret,
ana lifted muss right there,
And what do you think that sent
The Ping Pong crowd to the bad?
They howled for nut butter each maid

And, failing to get it, dropped sad.
And then the Slamhang crowd tags
They didn't come here to. rest.
Played tennis all day, and all nigh
punched bags,
And pinched evry egg from its nest
All! once they were nice and still,
And ambled to sleep at 10

But worst of the bling crew
Was the up-to-date Swagger fleet.

HOW 10 FIND A GAS LEAK.

The folly of hunting for a leak in a
gas pipe with a lighted match " not
so much because of the danger, as is
shown by the experience of a West
Philadelphia householder last week.
One or two small leaks were detected
by going over all the pipes and hold
ing lighted match to them The
smell Of gas ceased, but was replaced
few hours later by the smell of busn-
ing wood Another visit to the cellar
showed charred floor joist a little
distance above a gas pipe. here was
no APPARENT cause for this until very
close examination discovered that a
tiny jet of gas was issuing from the
pipe beneath the beam. 1t was light
ed, but was so small as to be blue In
color and nearly Invisible. 1t had been
lighted by the match used in the first
investigation, but had not been noticed

THE MORE TILE MERRTER.

Everybody wants more small bills.
So that is a welcome measure which
has Just been passed by the national
House of Representatives The meas
ure amends the currency act of March

of the Treasury ito issue gold certifi-
Gates in denominations of not less than
five dollars instead of not less than
twenty dollars, as now provided. Speak

Treasurer Treat is quoted as follows:
'This bill is of great practical imports

try, inasmuch as its provisions are in
tended to facilitate the adequate supply
of bills of small denominations, Sis, SIS
and $5s, by retiring larger denomina-
tionsof silver certificates and substitute
ing small denominations therefor,
which can only be done in quantity by
issuing gold certificates and retiring an
adequate amount of silver certificates,
thereby releasing an equal amount of
silver dollars, which can be utilized to
issue new silver certificates of small de-
nominations. There has been a great

A BRITISH COMPLAINT.

British shipowners are protesting
that certain provisions of a merchant
shipping bill now before the House Of
Commons will mean absolute ruin for
them and the speedy extinction of the
British carrying trade. These propose
to enforce the employment of British
seamen on British ships, or at least, to
put limitation upon the employment
of Lasears, The professors point to the
recent arrival at Belfast of a German
steamship-laden with wheat from
Australia-which was manned entirely
by Cinnamon. Only the officers were
Germans, and they contrived to navi-
gate the ship into port, although none
Of them could communicate verbally
with the sailors, who could speak no
English. The wages paid to these
Chinese are less than one-half of the
pay demanded by European seamen.
How, ask the shipowners, can they be
expected to maintain competition with
foreigners, if they are forbidden to i'm
itate them in the use Of cheap labor?
That a German ship should be permit
| ted to bring a cargo of Australian
wheat into a British port under such
conditions, is, they think, special ag-
gravation. On the other hand, it is
quite certain that British shipowners
must employ British seamen or there
will be no supply of native sailors for
the royal navy a possibility that no
government can tolerate or acknowl-
edge

Arrived at the hotel the baggage is
carried to our room by four coolies.
Then there Is the table waiter, the

brings hot water, and the man who
does this, that or the other. Of course,
the driver Of your carriage expects a

footman who rides behind. l have said
nothing of the men who are constantly
in front of your room offering to sell
you a snake, tell your fortune, make q

mentioned the man who appears and
presents you with flowers, to reappear
with a demand for nay when you are

eff that leak had happened to be in
lead point instead of an iron connec-
tion,p said gas man, there would
probably have been work for the fire
department, The smallest possible jet
of lighted gas isuing through lead will
in time heat and melt the lead and
make the leak larger, until a big flame
is issuing. This may make a fire hours
later, in the dead of the night or at a
time when no one is in the house. The
only proper way to look TO these very
small leaks is to paint the suspected
pipe with a smooth soap lather. Just
as in the case of a bicycle tire, the tint
est leak will blow in the lather, and
there you are. Philadelphia Record.
