QUAKER REFLECTIONS.

[From the Philadelphia Record
Lots of good intentions have gone
to the bad.
Many man has more friends than
are good for him.
A bit of practice in the hand is
worth two theories in the bush.
The black sheep of a family Is sell

Skeptics are merely people who

The only kind of wages that a man
doesn't have to work for are the wages
of sin.
When a man makes a fool of him
self over a woman she takes it as a
matter of course.
If you want to be remembered do a
man an injury; If you want to be for
gotten do him a favor.

WHY NOT?

The street car accident Wednesday IN
which Harry Kirk nearly lost his life
brings up the suggestion, why should
not the street cars stop on the near
side of street crossing instead of on
the far side?
The accident to Mr.. Kirk happened
by his stepping around behind one car
and directly in front of car going the
opposite direction ION the other track.
1t might not have been obviated by the
rule suggested, for the car which did
the damage might not have stopped at
that crossing at all. but many acct
dents of this character happen in some
cities that could be obviated- if the cars
stopped on the near side instead of
the further side of the crossings In
fact, this rule has been put in force in
a number of large cities on account of
such accidents.
Under the present rule of stopping
on the far side of the street car rush
es across a street crossing and stops.
A car coming from the opposite direc-
ton rushes past it and on a hundred
feet further before it stops. Topeka
motcrmen are usually careful in pass
ing one another in such instances and
comparatively Few crossing accidents
have happened in this city in recent
years, but there is constant danger of
such accidents and they do sometimes
happen as the one did on Wednesday.
By stopping on the near side of the
crossing the danger would be much

There are times when 1t is better to

ERON OTHER PENS

GOVERNMENT BY COMMITTEE.
An interesting illustration of the IA
miliar fact that the American system
Of government is a system of govern
ment by committee is found in the
simple statement that during the two
sessions of the Fifty-ninth congress,
which adjourned sine die last Monday
"a, 500 bills were introduced into either
the senate or the house, while only 522
public laws were passed, together with
629 invalid and private pension acts.
Without the intervention of the COM
mittees of the two branches congress
would be in a continual parliamentary
turmoil; and the end of the session
would find much less accomplished
than is ordinarily achieved, while some
bills grossly defective and even dam
gerous might pass inspection in the
heat and confusion of debate.-Provi-
dence journal.

WAR ON THE LOBBYIST.

According to the reports, professional
lobbyists are likely to fare badly here
after Various states have legislated
to make their business less easy or to
prohibit it. The Nebraska house of rep
resentatives has passed a resolution for
etecting the lobbyists from the floor, for
chilly if necessary. We must wait, to
see how well these laws will be en-
forced and whether they will cure the
evil. There is such a thing as seeing a
legislator elsewhere than on the floor
of the house and sometimes he is "seen"
to the great advantage of the lobbyist
and those whom he represents. II may
turn out that legislators are not so
much foes of the lobby as they pre-
tend.-Louisville Courier-Journal

The Garden in a City Back yard.

The value of a garden can scarcely
be overestimated, for, aside from the
the family especially enjoy, the care OF
it administers to both the esthetic and
athletic qualities of the members of the
household. A trim, well-kept garden
can be made attractive to the eye as
any other branch of landscape garden
ing, for if the variety Of coloring of the
foliage Of the various plants is eonsid
cred in the planning, there will be
harmonious ensemble appealing to ev-
cry one of esthetic tastes. And just as
daintily garnished dishes whet the ap-
petite, so a well-cared-for garden in
creases the delight one feels in partak-
ing of a dish of really fresh vegetables.
The medical fraternity has by precept
upon precept tried to impress the bust
ness man and woman, especially those
of sedentary habits, with the great ben
eft to be derived from exercise in the
open. Yet no form Of exercise will
bring all the muscles of the body into
such equal activity as the care Of
garden-the actual contact with nature
involved in the various processes of
spading, planting, wedding and Guilt

be brother to the OK if he uses the

successful in the business world.
With the increasing growth of the de-
sire for suburban homes and the num-
Der of suburbanites swelling each sea-
son, an erroneous belief is widespread in
the cities that only the suburbanite or
small town dweller can have and en-
joy these vegetable gardens. Not deny
ing, of course, that the small town has
an advantage in this respect over the
city, the city man can have his vegeta-
BILE garden if he really wants it. 1t need
not be as large as the one have de-
scribed, and it can be modified, that is,
as to size and contents, to meet the
space and to crafty personal prefer
ences for certain vegetables. On the
other hand the suburban resident can
elaborate upon the plan proposed, and
in both instances, aside from a saving
in dollars and cents, the vegetable gar
den makes for good health, and 1t can
have a really esthetic value.-The Home

George c. BoIdt, the noted hotel

clerks in New York: "a spirit of will

filled it himself.
