PHILOSOPHY OF A DYsPEPTIc.

Few men live up TO their obituaries.
Lots Of men ARE forgotten long before
they are dead.
Fools and rascais are merely people
who are found out.
Tel two girls they look alike and they
will both bate YOU
Most of us are born rulers At any
rate were are born babies.
Life is naturally burden 10 the wom-
an who doesn't carry her AZ" well,
It's all right to take the world as YOU
find il, but leave little for the rest of us.
When man has an evil mind airing
his views doesn't make tIcm any SWEEPER
II is doubtful il even the people who
don't live in glass houses should throw
stones
Whether girl is yiyaciou~ or .mcrcly
silly depends upon whether you BIKE her
or not
The skeleton in the closet wouldn't be-
50 bad if it would only stay where II
belongs.
The bob-tail dog may not lie much on
the WHg. but he can afford to laugh ut
tin cans.
\ boy stands a fairly good chance of
not being spoiled if his gr7iudmothcrs are
both dead

tity with less fuss than hc loses lis col

Wives Who Dislike Work.

do not believe the average man wants
his wife to work downtown unless there
are some unusual circumstances which
make il necessary or unless she prefers
to do it and insists upon it,
Perhaps what inspired the remark by
the young man in question that he would
not object to having his wife work down
town was the apparent worthlesSness q
some married woman of his acquaint-
ance 4 couple of women sat across
frcm me in the street car the other night
aid one of them remarked to the other:
Il do hope John is not home when /
get there" The other replied: 1T IS
only ten minutes after q: | thought ne
never got home until $50" The reply
was: He does not usually because he
works after $50 nearly every night. but
it always happens on my card club day
that he leaves the office promptly and
SD gets home before | do and then he
fuSseS because dinner is not ready. | be-
lieve he plans to get home carrier on
Wednesday for meanncSs.
confess to a feeling of sympathy for
the husband of this woman. coming
home to an empty house after Il hard
day mt the office and having tn wait for
his dinner She seemed to me 4 worth
less woman-one to whom home making
is secondary consideration.
| know of an office clerk who gets SD
to $50 a month and works harder than
day laborer whose wife spends nearly
every afternoon shopping" ut card

home about the time he does and throws
together a dinner. when by remaining
home in the afternoon or ut least getting
home by o'clock she might have a
roast. some hot biscuits. and nice pud-
ding ut no greater cost than the dinner
of fried meat and hurriedly prepared
vegetables. These people are always
from one to two months behind with
their bills and the husband gets more dis
couraged every day. | believe he would
be justified in saying that~he Mnnld not

DOG MEAT EATEN IN GERMANY.

growing consumption of dog meat. and
III some localities dogs are fattened for

was 1850. Later figures are wanting.
but the consumption in 1906 is said 10
have been at least 5000.

Very commendable is the zeal dis
played in recent years in the effort to
put an end to the obnoxious habit of
expectorating in places frequented by
the public. Still, the offense would
probably be classed under the head of
"venial" and it might be well to adj
just the punishment to the crime.

| call attention to the report Of the
official board Of visitors to the Naval
academy at Annapolis, which has been
forwarded to the congress. The report
contains this paragraph:
'.Such revision should be made of the
courses Of study and methods OF con-
Quoting and marking examinations as
will develop and bring out the average
all round ability Of the midshipman
rather than to give him prominence in
any one particular study. The fact
should be kept in mind that the Naval
academy is not university, but a
school. the primary object of which is
to educate boys to be efficient naval Of
ficers Changes in curriculum, there
fore, should be in the direction of max
ing the course of instruction less theo-
retical and more practical. No portion
Of any future class should be gradu-
ated in advance of the full four years
course and under no circumstances
should the standard Of instruction be
lowered The academy in almost all
Of its departments is now magnificent
ly equipped, and it would be very un
wise to make the course of instruction
less exactng than it is today"
Acting upon this suggestion, desig-
mated three seagOing officers, Captain
Richard Wainwright, Commander Rob-
ert S. Griffin and Lieutenant Com
mander Albert l.. Key. all graduates
of the academy, to investigate condi-
tons and to recommend to me the
best method of carrying into effect

Under these circumstances numerous
questions necessarily arise between the
two countries. These questions are al
ways approached and disposed of in a
spirit of mutual courtesy and fair deal

In my last message, a new war broke

Bureau Of American Republics.
One of the results Of the pan-Amer-
lean conference at Rio Janeiro in the
summer of 1906 has been a great in
crease in the activity and usefulness
!! Of the international bureau of Amer
i lean republics. That institution, which
includes all the American republics in
1ts membership and brings all their
representatives together, is doing a
really valuable work in informing the
people Of the United States about the
other republics and in making the
United States known to them. It's ac-
ton is now limited by appropriations
| determined when it was doing a work
on much smaller scale and rendering
mitch less valuable service. l recon-
mend that the contribution of this gov
eminent to the expenses of the bureau
4 be made commensurate with its in
creased work. -
