"Uncle Joe" Sees His Birthplace

Letter from Washington.
Contrary 10 the published statement that
Speaker Cannon, who went to Guilford Court
House, in North Carolina, to find the log cabin
in which he was born more than 20 years ago.
had not succeeded in his quest, the Speaker
before be left for his home, in Danville, told
some of his friends that he had located the old
cabin. When he left the train at Greensboro
he was met by a number of friends with big
red automobile. They drove out across the
roads toward the old farm where his father had
lived so many years. and there they found the
present owner-a venerable farmer named
Smith. For while the surroundings were
strange to the Speaker, for he was only four
years old when the Cannon family emigrated.
But by and by memory came to his aid. Ac-
companied by Mr.. Smith, he tramped over the
farm until he found the site of the cabin.
Only few stones of the old chimney remained
as the monument of the Speakers birthplace,
and the Speaker took small stone with him
as q souvenir.
"There was spring somewhere around here,
J near the house, said the Speaker. Mr.. Smith
found the cid sRrng o5 r h9b dy k nnee Zoe
and took long drink of the cool. fresh water.
'There was a big chestnut tree here, too"
added the Speaker.
Mr.. Smith reminded Mr.. Cannon that that
was nearly 20 years ago, and pointed out to
him the stump of the tree that still remains.
The old road that led past the Cannon log cabin
was gone, but as the Speaker stood at the scene
of his childhood his memory brought back to
him many old landmarks, some of which Mr..
Smith could identify for him, but most of
which had vanished with the years. AS the
Speaker walked back to the automobile he
said to one of his friends:
II left here nearly 20 years ago in white
prairie schooner, and today get back here in
a big red-devil automobile"

In A statement issued a few days ago the
Pennsylvania Railroad frankly avowed its
purpose to "get squire" for the new 2cent fare
law by abolishing all Communication rates and
selling only tickets at the uniform rate of 2
cents a mile. Every ten-trip and workman
tickets will be dropped and no excursion ticket
will be sold after September 30th, unless the
courts shall have ruled against the law, as the
Pennsylvania officials confidently expect. The
Reading, which had begun to make some con-
cessions in response to the rising tide of public
indignation, stopped short, as if encouraged
by the action of the Pennsylvania, and Baer
said nothing further would be done. Baer's
company also filed bill in equity to upsetthe
law on the ground that the loss involved would
be contrary to charter rights.

A DISPATCH from Washington dated June
14th says: 1.-THE weather man of 1857 appears
to have known more about the summer of
1907 than the weather man of 1907 knew a
month ago. According to an old almanac I'M
earthed in the archives of the Treasury Depart
ment today, the predictions for this summer
turned out to be just what is being experienced.
In the weather forecasts the words mo sum-
mer' appear opposite the date 1907. Gen.
John NJ. Wilson said today that this was not
the first summer he had known snow in June
for he had kept weather calendar for sixty
years, and in looking back over the June
weather during these years he found that he
had recorded snow on June 10th, 1851

HOW Birds baJnc. T7--aaEe a
Birds are very particular in the making of
their toilets. Some use water only, Others dust
and water, and others dust alone. Wild ducks
feed by salt water and fly inland twenty or
thirty miles in order to get fresh-water bath.
Sparrows take two kinds of baths-water and
dust. They are not particular about the for
mer, but for the latter only the ceanest and
drest dust will serve. The partridge takes a
loan bath. Scratching off the turf, he loosens
a square foot of rich, chocolate colored loan,
and therein bathes his sleek plumsge.
All birds love bath of ashes Any one who
walks through field that has recently been
burned off will note every little while dis
turbance in the charred ash heaps, and shs K
ing off fine cloud of ash dust, many birds
will rise

"THE ONLY possible remedy for the shortage
in hired girls is hard times" declares the
Wichita (Kas) Eagle. 1.-THE demand created
by an aIlaround American prosperity and the
increasing number of women's clubs has over
run the supply of this luxurious, if not indis-
pensable, contingent" But such a remedy
would be as bad as the disease. Then, too,
would hard times be remedy? Would they
not make the average family unable to keep
hired girl? The root of the servant girl prob
lem is far more complex than to be determined
by good or bad times.

The CONCLUSION of the bureau of statistics
from the study of the champagne production
in the United States is that the quantity of
genuine fermented-in-theb bottle champagne
wine produced in this country at present is
nearly one-half as great as the importation of
wine of the same general class or, in other
words, that about one-third of the genuine
champagne wine now consumed in this coun-
try is of domestic production and the proper
ton which the home product forms of the total
is rapidly increasing. This is well, for if peo-
pie will drink champagne let it be of the pure
home product instead of an adulterated foreign
wine. There is a sort of snobbery in the drinking
Of foreign wine-simply because it is more ex-
pensive The expensive and extravagant Ameri-
can wishes to show he is able to pay big price
for his drink, even if he is only getting Jersey
cider with French label. But the main point
in this champagne incident is to show the
value of protecting a home product. Even
with the tariff we get pure wine at nearly
half the price of the foreign and just as good
in fact, far better.

THE Boston school committee has approved
the recommendation of the superintendent to
establish with the next school year girls high
school of practical arts with four-year course,
conditions for admission to which will be
equivalent to those of the regular high schools.
The theory of this school is to give opportuni-
ty to those pupils whose talents lie in the d.
rection of doing and expressing rather than in
acquisition. On the academic side courses
will be created in English, history, art, modern
languages, mathematics and science, but these
will be treated in their relation to some prac-
teal line of work. On the industrial side the
school will be divided into two classes, one for
those seeking to become homemakers and the
other for those who aim, at least for a time, to
be selfsupporting. For the first class en-
phasis will be given to all phases of domestic
science and arts, and for the second a founda
ton will be laid in some distinct taste, so that
the pupil may be able to enter upon the higher
forms of the various women's industries.

COMMENTING ON the fact that Australia has
been shipping apples to the United States a
Texas paper asks: "Do you remember the
time when the apples used to be piled up in
great rows in the old orchard and left to rot
because there were too many for even the hogs
to eat?" One of those times was as recent as
last autumn, mores the pity for trust methods
in dealing with apple production in this
