THE ALMIGHTY
HAIRPIN.

The wife of a Kansas farmer,
SO the story goes, got tired of ask
ing him to fix some things about
the house that needed fixing, and
one day after he had come home
from town told him she had done
the work herself.
"And you know" she said, "the
drawer that was locked for over
a month, and which you said
couldn't be opened except by a
locksmith? well, triumphantly, 1
opened it.
.Well, well! how in the world
did you do it?'
"With a hairpin. And the oven
door" she continued, has been
slipping around on one hinge for
ever SO long just because you were
too lazy to fix it, but it's all right
now"
"Well, I'm glad you had it
fixed"
"Had? 1 fixed it myself with
a hairpin. And then that crayon
portrait of mother that stood in
the corner for almost six solid
weeks because you never would
bring me my picture hooks
hung it with a hook 1 made my
self-out of a hairpin."
"Well, WE'LL" was all he could
say.
"And there's Willie. You've
been coaxing and bribing him
for over year, trying to break
him of biting his nails, and ]
broke him in a week.
With a hairpin? he inquired
meekly.
"No! she snapped. Don't be a
goose! With a hairbrushr'

portance than the liquor question? Let
US reason together. The entire custom
receipts for 1905 were 1852, $50, SIS. Our
country's output of gold and silver
combined amounted to $113,92O 700. The
entire cost of running our government
Tor the same year was 1867 All, GIL. The
people of the United States pay annu-
ally, 1,249, 191, 253, or S15.47 per capita, to
the liquor traffic. There is more tran
twice as much spent annually in the
liquor traffic as is necessary to run
cur government. Eight times as much
as is paid to the teachers of our public
schools in educating our children. Sew
enty-four times as much as is paid to
the support of the Protestant mission
aries, home and abroad. Yet it re-
ceives a minor consideration when we
come to the polls.
Men love darkness rather than light

be done by an Indifferent spirit. We
cannot afford to stay at home on cleo
