Few stop to consider the amount Of
labor performed daily 10y the human
heart. The inexhaustible supply of en-
ergy displayed by this overworked or
gan is marvellous. Calculation has
shown that the work of the heart Of
an average person is equal to the feat
Of lifting over five tons at the rate Of
a foot an hour or 125 tons in twenty
four hours. \ certain DIR. Richardson
once made curious calculation in re-
gard TO the work performed by the
heart in mileage. He presumed that
the blood was forced out of the heart
at each palpitation in the proportion Of
siXty-nne strokes a minute and at the
assumed distance of nine feet At this
rate the flow of the blood through the
body would be POI yards a minute, or
seven miles an hour. This would make
10 miles day, or 61,000 miles a year
Thus in lifetime OF eightyfour years
the blood in the human body would
travel over 100000 miles. The num-
Der of beats of the heart required to
send the blood that far would be over
1000 100000.

THE YALE BANQUET At SIOUX FALLS In
HONOR OF SECRETARY TAFT

The Yale men al Sioux Falls thought
| that banquet, to which every Yale
man ia the state should be invited,
would be an appropriate and accepta-
BILE pOr tion OF the welcome to be as
corded to Secretary Taft on the occa-
sion of his recent visit to Sioux Falls
Senator Kittredge is also a Yale
graduate and accordingly it was ar
ranged that a banquet OF the Sons of
Eli should be a prominent part in the
entertainment OF the distinguished
visitor. 1t was thought this would be
a good opportunity also to organize
Yale Alumni Association Of the state
and this WAS suggested in the invita-
tions
But alas for these planet Secretary
Taft was taken sick and was obliged 10
TO spend all day Saturday In bed, arriv-
ing Ia Sioux Falls the next morning,
one day late. The few Yale men who
had gathered thought II best to have
the iced" anyway and organize the
association, as several were obliged to
leave on the afternoon trains--in other
words, to play Hamlet with Hamlet
left out. There are twenty four Yale
men In the state, twelve OF them be-
ing graduates of the divinity school,
the other twelve being scattered
~. x<rk II a 1 a..
and law departments. Accordingly =
little group met in the Cataract din
ing room after the regular dinner had
been disposed Of and sat down to soft
shell crabs and Appolinaris appro-
priately decked with the college colors.
The editor came near being too late
for any more part In the proceedings
than Secretary Taft had, as the train
was late and the dinner half over when
we arrived. However, cordial greet
ing was waiting, there WAS plenty to
cal, the association wasduly organized
with Senator Kittredge ne its first
president and the rotanda OF the Cat
aract was made to ring with several
old time, II not very voluminons, Yale
yells.
One of the notable alumni present at
the dinner WAS Robt w. Stewart Of
Huron, who has, since the resignation

vass for the goyernorship, occupied
his position as attorney Tor the Chicago

! $3.50 GRAND FIREWORKS AT NIGHT

this was made by Archbishop ireland
in the principal speech at banquet 10
Minneapolis last Thursday night In
honor of Secretary Taft. Archbishop
Ireland in part spoke AS follows:
The religious question WAS one OF
the most intricate and pnzzling
matters before the American admins
tration in the Philippines. Under the
Spanish domination there was strict
union OF church and state; with the
entrance of America into the islands
new regime was to be instituted
Here was the utmost need of good
craftsmanship to unravel the compli-
cations OF the past, to recognize the pre-.
scriptions of natural equity on the
side both of church and OF state while
taking from the one what was Origi-
nally part Ut the other, TO alter condi-
tiOns grounded in long reigning Gus
toms without unnecessary friction or
irritation, and withal to hold fast to
the princi Piles from which an Amer
lean regime could not depart.
"All this Mr.. Taft has been able to
do thru his large minded appre
of conditions, his deep sense OF jus
tice, his abiding patience and tact,
thru his genuine Americanism, which
means in the Philippines what genuine
Americanism means In America-ius-
tice in liberty, and liberty in justice. y

SECRETARY TAFT AND THE PHILIP.
PINES

One of the most notable and success
full achievements of modern Statesman
ship was the settlement of the matter
of the friar's lands In the Philippines
following the Spanish American war.
The issue of that war had placed the
responsibility for maintaining govern
ment and all civil and mercantile in :
situations in those islands In the hands
of the United States. On the one hand
was strong and vigorous political
party in the United States crying ''im-
perialism, dictatorship etc. when
ever any move was made to. keep the
control of the islands beyond the
reach of greedy and Interested for
eign powers; on the other WAS the
immense property rights OF the frlars
which had accumulated during the
centuries of the union of church and
state during the Spanish rule. A
more difficult and delicate matter for
adjustment could hardly be conceived.
To the present Secy. Taft was commit
ted the task OF making this adjustment
with justice to all parties concerned.
How we'll he has succeeded is sufficient
ly attested by the utter collapse OF The
campaign of imperialism here at
home, and the universal satisfaction
OF the Roman Catholic authorities in
the outcome OF his policy abroad. A
striking and deserved testimonial TO

He nearly filled The seat, but al

The small boy wore what was Obvi

block or two he said to the secretary
My mama made me this suit out o

Indeed" said the secretary, u

school rooms, the stores, count
ing houses. banks, professional
offices, hospitals and sick rooms,
printing Offices, textile establish
ments aud business houses OF
all kinds, all now gladly
welcome woman as a worker.
And whether as teacher, clerk,
bookkeeper, mill operative, prin-
ter, trained nurse, stenographer
and typewriter, she renders
faithful and efficient service with
out rejecting in any degree what
soever on her sex. On the con
trary she adds new dignity to
labor and places the independ-
ence of womanhooG on a safe
and sure foundation. The woman
wage Garner is only discrimina
ted against in the matter of COM
pensation. AS rule she is not
paid as much as man performing
similar service; but this mani
Test injustice will no doubt be
corrected in time.
Woman, too, has not only be-
come an important factor as a
wage Garner, but she is also
making her way into the various
professions. There are today
thousands of female doctors and
lawyers in this country, not a
few of whom have achieved ma

MONUMENT TO DR.. J. MARION
SIMS.


1t has been suggested that a
monument be erected here to the
memory of DR.. j. Marion Sims,
a son of Lancaster who achieved
worldwide distinction in his
chosen profession. The sugges-
ton is one that should receive
the unanimous endorsement of
our people, not only of Laneas-
ter but of the entire state as
we'll.
The medical association of
Laurens has expressed a desire 10
contribute the sum of 500. to-
ward the erection of the proposed
monument, and if the associations
in the other counties would do
equally as well, over 81 900
would thus be raised. AS woman
is the chief beneficiary of DIR.
Sims's wonderful discoveries and
inventions, the women of South
Carolina can no doubt be relied
on to aid in perpetuating his
memory in stone. What say the
medical associations,, what say

THE RIGHT OF WOMAN TO WORK

The Courts of New York have
just handed down an important
decision holding that women
have the right to work at such
times and places as they please
under the same normal restric-
tons as men.-Philadel phia En-
quirer.
OF course woman has right
10 work. 1t shoald not have been
made necessary for a court, or
courts of justice 10 declare the
fact. The right is inherent and as
Old as woman herself. Unfortu-
nately, however, too many wo-
men exercise their right 10 work
beyond the limits Of prudence
and safety. Work in moderation
is conducive to the health of any
one, but being ambitious to earn
their own living or to help their
husbands along women often
times make slaves Of themselves;
they over.tax their frail natures
and become physical wrecks.
While woman has right 10
work, she has no right to shorten
her life by excessive labor.
Woman's natural sphere is
the home, which she adorns,
beauties and makes comforta-
bic for those around her. No
household is complete without
the presence and Influence
of wo m an. But, be it
said to the shame of bachelors,
thousands of women in this, as
we'll as other countries are prac-
tically without homes only as
they make them for themselves
Unappreciative man or the ext
gencies of life have thrown them
upon their own resources. They
must 60 out into the world and
make their own living, or else
become dependents, or possibly
meet with an even worse fate.
No woman therefore should be
censured for seeking work Other
than domestic when impelled by
adversely or other cause to sup
port herself. Rather should she
be commended. In this progress
i've age many avenues are oper
to woman for employment tina
were closed to her or unknown

mack never knew how to bend the
knee that victory might follow
compromise OF honor and smoth-

would he rather go down in defeat
than to win even by questionable

would rather see him in defeat
with his official integrity preserved
than have him elected with even
the finger of suspicion pointing to
him.

A GREAT COMPLIMENT.

Under the head, "a Statesman
ana Nobleman," the ashington
Post pays Senator Carmack the
following tribute:
"A Washington correspondent
IN letter to a leading Southern
newspaper relates that a distin
8ulshed Senator from one of the
Southern States could i'll afford to
expend $50 that it cost him to cir
eulate 1000 copies of speech that
he delivered the present session,
and that excited the enthusiasm of
his friends and extorted the admi-
ration of his enemies.
"Ihis man served four years in
the House and is just completing
q single term in the Senate. He is
yet under fifty years of age, Just
on the threshold Of his intellectual
prime, with its zenith some years
IN the future. He would have been
an ornament to British Parlia-
ments that knew Burke and Fox
and Pitt. He would have been
distinguished in American Senates
that contained Clay and Calhoun
and Webster.
"Yet he leaves the public service
poorer than he entered it, and must
depend on his profession for sup
port. He might have been rich.
