His Dilemma.

Henry Miller, the actor, tells an
amusing story to a man with a big
account in a savings bank. He ap-
preached the teller n day and con-
fided to him that he had quarreled
with his family and wanted to change
his will. but didn't know to whom to
leave his money.
The bank official, being of a phil
anthropic bent, suggested that 1T be
given to an orphans home, waxing
eloquent in charging upon the good
the money would do. The visitor
listened with growing Impotence, and
then broke out with:
THE orphans! Why should I leave
my money to the orphans? What did
the orphans ever do for me?"-Broad-
way Magazine.

Would Reduce Cost of Livino.

Mr.. Haldane, the British war secre-
tary, has just placed an order for AGO.
900 horse shoes in this country. Horse
shoes are protected by a tariff of one
cen a pound. Under that duty the
American buyer of horse shoes pays a
considerably higher price for them
than the British army. This is only
n recent example of the familiar
fact of high prices for home consump-
ton, low prices for the foreign buyer.
The Standard Oil monopoly is a fat
tened child of the tariff. Oil itself is
duty free. In practice the Standard
would stamp out foreign competition
as it stamps out domestic competition;
and upon many of its more than a
hundred by-products it is heavily pro-
tected. So it too sells abroad far
cheaper than at home.

The Little Brown Man.

The wal department thinks self.
government is a failure in the Philip
pines, because a large majority of the
Filipinos voted for the party that
stood for independence. 1t is a good
joke the little brown men played on
the President and the war department
by making them believe up to the
day of the election of the Philippine
legislature that they favored the party
which had declared for statehood and
being part of the United States. 1t
was really too bad to deceive those
great and good men who were taxing
without representation and governing
the Filipinos without their right to
say yea or nay. But the mask has
been removed and the Independents
will now have a chance to discuss the
continuation of enormous taxes most
ly used to provide soft snaps for Re-
publican : politicians that could not
hold their heads above the political
stream in the United States. The
administration will now have to sup
press the legislature or veto its de-
creeS.

Tariff and Patent Monopoly.

There never was a day in the his
tory of cotton production in this
country when one per cent. of the
enhancement of the price of cotton
came from the tariff. Yet the tariff
has increased the price of everything
the planter or the laborer in his cot
ton field had to pay for plows, scrap
ers, shovels, axes, hoes, barbed wire,
gearing, gins, cotton-Oil, mill machin-
cry, clothing, sugar satin fact
every manufactured product. The
same is true of all other producers,
except manufacturers. Some manu-
~facturers have double monopolies.
They have patent rights in addition
to tariff protection. One or the other
ought to be denied them. No monop-
DIV should be allowed to rob people at
it's own will. The tariff on products
made by patented machinery or
processes should be abolished. IT this
were done the Steel trust protection"
would no longer be worth $1,000. 900,
but only what the constitution secures
to It as the value of its patents.

Character in Reading.

A man reveals his character by the
way he holds his newspaper. The
methodical, exact man folds his pa
per very evenly in a small square.
The man who makes an untidy fold
across the page, letting half of the
pages hang out and probably tearing
one or two sheets In the process, is
careless and good natured, but posi-
bly, hot tempered.
He who clutches his paper as If in
mortal fear that some one is going to
take it from him is certainly bad
tempered.
The man who holds his paper close
to his face, appearing almost to hide
behind it, is watchful and prudent to
an extreme and apt to be suspicious.

hands. Those who fold the right

esits were not appreciated until the
psychologists got to work with their
microscopes and ferreted out a Who'll
lot of mischievous germs that were
making human life miserable. Clean
illness cannot be maintained without
hot water and a reasonable warm at
mosphere. That is one reason why a
furnace and running hot water are so
valuable in a house.
These things do not necessarily cost
a great deal more when you are build
ing. There is a little additional el-
pense, of course, but it is so small
when weighed against the many bene-
fits to be derived that the extra cost
is not worth considering. When you

you can't have electric light and gas
at once you can put in the pipes and

pressure if you want it and there is
no excuse for not having a well
equipped bathroom. 1t is better to do
without a parlor than to leave out the
bathroom.

A small cottage house 25 feet wide
by 4S feet 6 inches long is given in
this plan. 1t is built without an attic
which saves expense in roof construc-
ton and the low roof design fits the
a high roof could. 1t is a small affair
when measured up against the Ordi-
nary house, but it contains more room
and more convenience than the ortho-
dOx five-roOm flat in a city and it is
immensely superior when it comes to
comfort.

There is a good deal in the shape Of
the cellar. a good many cellars are
almost useless except to keep the
house up away from the ground, to
keep it dry and assist some in keeping
the lower floors warm. Some cellars
are too dark and musty to be desirable
and a great many cellars are too con-
temptibly dirty for any purpose what
ever. A good deal depends on the

for any water that may accumulate to
get away easily. If the ground is very
damp have another course of tile about

h use of cement mortar is a great
preventive against dampness in the
cellar and the way the cellar floor Is
made has a great deal to do with it.
You can make a cement bottom that
is porous, or you can make it water
tight just by the difference in the way
the materials are mixed. 1t some
times is desirable to have the back
end of the cellar dry and the front
part of the cellar somewhat moist foy
fruit and vegetables, but this depends
upon what use you wish to make Of
the cellar.
Great changes have come about In
building small houses within a few
years. Until recently the idea of hot
and cold water and a bathroom in a
house of this size was almost unheard
Of. In order to enjoy what are Ordi-
narily called modern conveniences it
was necessary to occupy a large house,
but bathrooms, hot water in the
kitchen, gas and electric lighting are
growing more common all the time
and they are being installed in small
or houses every year. Because it Is
necessary or because a person prefers
a small house it is no longer necessary

forts of civilization. With the in
crease of small houses fitted with such
luxuries the health of the people has
improved.

TRUSTS AND CRIMINALS.
"Let No Guilty Man Escape" Should
Be the Demand.

The growing demand for the pun
ishment of those who mismanage COR
porations as felons is due to the rec
ogniZed fact that all corporations are
personally conducted enterprises"
The individual is responsible for the
corporate morals. There are in real.
ity neither good nor bad corporations.
as such. A corporation is only a mech
anism invented and used by men for
their cOnvenierces and profit. What is
done by it, either lawfully or unlaw-
fully, is the act of men; and the men.
not the mechanism, are responsible
for it. If a railroad train or a street
car, or an automobile runs over a per-
son, we arrest the engineer, conduct
or, motorman, or chauffeur, and pun
ish him. We don't demolish the en-
CINE, or the motor car. Neither do we
fine them. Filming corporations is no
less absurd. Imprisonment is the true
remedy for r~ascality. 1t must be cured
or killed. If the managers of corpora
tons who swear falsely as to the
value of the corporate property in or
der to evade taxes were punished by
Imprisonment for perjury, if those who
are to blame for wrecks on railways
and passenger boats, involving death,
were punished for m~anslaughter; if in
fine, the law reached the human per-
petrator of crime, and throttled him
as it does other law breakers, then
we should see the laws respected and
the people protected. The whole diff
Guilty of the present situation is, as the
New York Journal of Commerce de-
clares that "in the complication of in.
dustrial, commercial and social condi-
tiOns, we are apt to lose sight of the
individual and his responsibility, per-
hitting him to hide in the mazes of
organization" Whenever a OrpOra-
ton violates the law or evadeS the
law, every member of it is guilty, and
ought to be punished according to the
gravity of the offenSe. There should
be no irresponsible agency, nc in
animate scape goat, in these matters.
If half the men whose names figure in
the Directory of Directors were i'm
%prisOned, if law breakers, the other
half might be safely trusted. There
would then be no bad trusts" be-
cause it wouldn't pay men to make
bad trusts, or trusts of any kind.
There would be no trusts, if Grimm
ais were punished. But criminals Of

When the states, such as North Caro-

of railroad agents who defy the states

states will imprison the criminal

shape of the cellar to commence with.
but more depends on the manner in
which it is built and the care 1t re-
ceives afterwards. All cellars should
be dry, that is there should be no per-
ceptible dampness. When eatables are
stored in a cellar there should be no
accumulation of mold. At the same
time a cellar should not be dusty dry.
Generally if a cellar is five feet under
ground and the wall extends two or
two and a half feet above grade the
cellar will be cool in summer, Will not
freeze in winter and it will be neither
too dry nor too damp, but there are
local conditions which affect all eel
lars.

But a few days before he had gone
out of the royal city with great re-
