Vacation at Home.

No, We're not going away this sum-
mer. said one woman. L shall keep
the house as cool as possible and have
cool food and iced drinks At home
we shan't have to bother to dress Be
sides, we can all be together and once
in while take little trips over Sun
day. With the upstairs veranda and
perfect comfort l think we can have
q nice summer at home"
It's surprising how many people one
hears talking that language nowadays.
The old idea that one had to pack
up, desert half of ones family and go
off to the crowded discomfOrts Of sum-
mer places isn't so prevalent as it was.
Comfort in a cool home. freedom to
do as one pleases and wear what one
likes and the society Of all ones fami-
ly are inducements that bid strongly
for favor.
Of course. this doesn't mean that the
volume Of summer travellers Will be
appreciabIy less. But those who for
one reason or another find it expedient
to stay home are finding the practice
quite bearable and even enjoyable.

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS.

Every time the closet Of your
neighbor is opened little do you
strain your neck to peek, and then
afterward strain your tongue in
talking about it? Did you ever stop
to think that some day a tragedy
may take up its abode in your
home? Can't you get it into your
head that some day the tongue Of
SANDER may cut you like sharp
sword, and the whispers of your
neighbors be as vinegar on your
wounds? Misfortune and disgrace
may have Overtaken your neigh
Dor, but it does not become you to
get on the housetops and shout it
out to the world. You will not be
called. supon to pay for nor answer
for any Of the sins of your neigh
bors. You will have all you can at
tend to pay for your own indiscre-
tions. Some day one near and dear
to you1 may fall II the prison walls
may open to a son or the scarlet
letter Of eternity blight an innocent
daughter. When a home is in
mourning over a tragedy the best
thing you can do is to keep your
mouth shut unless you can say
something good that will come as a
rift in the dark clouds. Then again,
you may be no better than your
neighbor. The only difference is
that your neighbor was caught and
you, up to this time, have kept the
Sunlight away. Be charitable, for
you know not the day nor the hour
when the blight will appear in your
sacred home circle. Beware Of the
gossiper. shun the prevaricator, and
remember that charity begins at
home

Even the cherries you get in your
whisl1ey are adulterated. A man in
Pennsylvania who was sat on by a
committee of congressman says that
his way Of making them is to take
the green cherry and bleach it
white with alkali and then dye it
with coal tar bright color and
preserve the product in formalde-
hyde. We are informed that they
taste like the rubber bulb on an ink
syringe and are much less whole

The Harry Thaw incident in New
York has been an eye-opener to the
residents of that busy city. It is
evident that this crime has awaken.
ed public sentiment, to some extent
at least, TO the low state of morality
that exists among a per centage of
the 400. 1t is true that ThaW did q
good job for humanity when he put
White out of the way, but the fact
that he killed an arch-villain should
not detract at all from the role he
himself has been playing in society.
They came very near being two Of

ENFORCE THE LAWS.

Today, perhaps more than at any
o.ber time in the history of this re-
public, it is being demonstrated
taat the laws Of the United States
must be so enacted as to leave no
room for the escape Of those who
are violating those laws. President
Roosevelt has arrayed himself
a yainst those trusts that are break
ing the laws and he declares that
all the power of the United States
government shall be put in motion
to secure justice to all the people.
The trusts who are breaking those
laws will probably use every means
at hand to block the governments
