Wherein the Profession Lies.
In discussing the subject. Mr.. Marks
took occasion to explain the more promi-
nent features OF his bills. AT this time :"
said Mr.. Marks. all of the trades. the
banks and other business concerns are
protected by laws; the retail merchant
alone i without ample safeguards. The
proposition Is just this: Under the pres
ent law the retail merchant may sue for
debt when the obligation has been con-
tracted through fraud; when he has rea-
son to believe that the debtor is about to
make an assignment for fraudulent pur-
poses. or when he has reason to believe
In all of these cases il is almost impossi-
bic for the creditor to secure redress
Fraud is difficult to prove: so is fraudu-
lent assignment. Yet more difficult is it
to prove that a debtor is about TO leave
the state unless he is caught in the very
act. which is not often the case.
Now. we propose to make the assign
ment of future wages by an empioye in
valid as against an attachment creditor
and on file with the county recorder
That point is covered in the first bill.
Debt for Lies Necessities.
THE other bill is in the nature of an
amendment to the present law and pro-
vides that at any time after suit Is
brought attachment and garnishment VIII
lie for labor performed. That is designed
to protect the workingman.
where the debt is contracted for gro
ceries. farm products. house rent or fur
niture, the bill provides that attachment
and punishment shall lie at any time aft

Railroad and Telephone Companies
 to Be Investigated.
 Senator Donnelly introduced bill for the appointment of joint com mittee to investigate the business and affairs of street railway and telephone companies in the state senate yester- day. The resolution states that ac- cording to the report of the railroad commissioners for 1906 the value of property of street railway companies in this state was $30,00O,00O less than the par value of the stock and bonds of the companies; and that the telephone, gas light, electric light and water companies of this state are millions of dollars undertaxed or millions of dollars over-capitalized. The resolution provides for the ap- pointment of committee of three senators and five members of the house to investigate the business of street railway and telephone com panies and as far as necessary and convenient into the business and af- fairs of gas light, electric light and water companies doing business in this state, with reference to over- capitalization and manner in which they are taxed. The resolution em- powers the committee to summon witnesses and appropriates $10,O00 to meet the committees expenses.

FIRE IN SCHOOL.
Burton Street Bremen Were Called
 to Bishop Street Building.

There was fire in the Bishop street school yesterday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock. Captain Moore's men of the Burton street house were called and quickly located the dan ger in corner of the basement un- der the brick building. There a lot of old paper was found burning and how it got a fire is mystery. There was no possible chance of ignition from anything in the cellar, for there was nothing else there. It was necessary for the firemen to tear up part of the first floor to get at the fire, and this was done without any delay and the fire promptly extin- guished. There was no damage done except that to the flooring which does not amount to much.

< The select" few Oflce holders nau tAeir pay increased a few days ago. and what's more agreeable to them, it's as much as they expected.

We'll, goodness knows the tax Hayers' pockets are being called on heavily enough without increasing the pay of those who work only few hours per day. However, the writer of this ad had dream the other night. He dreamt the water hoard took up the water meter ques- tion again and found that the manu- featuring concerns and the poor 6own-trodden N. Y., N. H. and Il. railroad were being furnished With water at price which is less than II costs the city to deliver it. Well, be- fore the dreamer woke up it turned out that the water commissioners sscut out" the rate of 1a cent per loo aallons and made the lowest rate 10 read cent per 100 gallons. we never believe in dreams, but II the Commissioners did make that change tn water rates there would be enough money made to counteract the above increase in wages. Now if the above board would meet at some hotel or restaurant and have tea party or soffee party (nothing stronger), they might see where they could turn Tn 6omething to the taxpayers. Of course if the tea and coffee served at this party does not come rom our store there's no knowing what they Il do or what they'll drink before re- 6ring.

rxrRAvAeAHcE IN DRESS.

Love for swell toggery has gone
beyond extravaganza with New York
women. It has come almost to de-
bauchery. More homes are being
ruined by the dress habit than the
curse Of drink. Ten minutes in a
fashionable dressmaking extablish-
ment costs more money than ten
nights in barroom did decade
ago.
There are hundreds of New York
women who spend $40, 900 year on
dress. The women who would have
dared to walk up Upper Broadway
of a summers afternoon ten years
ago wearing a 1906 waist so thin
and transparent that a lace curtain
would be opaque beside it, would
have excited the scorn and disgust of
every we'll bred passer-by, even if
they did not provoke police interfer-
ence.
Women and warlike nations are
alike. Two women meeting each
other in the street use their eyes in
passing to see what the other has on.
If the gown of one is particularly
rich and tasteful the other covets it
and begins to plan its possession.
England builds the biggest warshiPs
ever launched the United States
Immediately plans one that shall
eclipse it. The folly Of dress and
the folly of war both cost almost
exual millions of money. Extrava-
gance in dress is even more foolish
than any peace congress ever declared
extravaganza in armament to be.
The clothes madness of the feminine
sex has two reasons for its existence.
Each woman dresses to please the
men-that is, the man she loves and
those to whom she is attached by
ties of friendship or relationship.
The other cause of clothes madness
is the rivalry of women themselves !;
every woman wants to outdo every
other in her clan, or at least to dress
as well.
It is in New York, the largest and
most fashionable city Of the country,
that this debauchery in dress is most
pronounced. The number Of rich
and idle women has increased in far
greater proportion than any other
class of the population during the
last ten years. AS a consequence,
the number of new shops for the sale
of costly women's gear has more than
kept pace with the demand. There
are some stores that sell nothing
save the most costly blouses and
waists others devote themselves to
other peculiar kinds of the finest tog'
gerry. Along Fifth avenue and the
side streets human ingenuity seems
to have exhausted itself to tempt
women to squander money for their
personal adornment. The dress
makers bill, however, while il easily
leads all the rest, is but one OF the
things which creep up on the reck-
less woman unawares and finally
swamps her. Extravaganza in dress
among the rich women of New York
while not legal ground of the d.
vorce, is one of the most fruitful
causes leading to it.

HOW TO PROSPER IN BUSINESS.

In the first place, make up your
mind to accomplish whatever you
undertake. Decide upon some par
ticular employment, and persevere in
it. All difficulties are overcome by
diligence and assiduity.
Be not afraid to work with your
own hands, and diligently, too. "a
cat in gloves catches no mice"
"He who remains in the mill,
grinds not he who goes and comes. !"
Attend to your own business, and
never trust it to another. "a pot
that belongs to many is i'll stirred
and worse boiled"
Be frugal. "That which will not
make pot, will make a pot lid"
"Save the pence and the pounds
will take care of themselves.
Be abstemious. ''Who dainties
love, shall beggars prove"
Rise early. "The sleeping fox
catches no poultry" "Plow deep
while sluggards sleep, and you will
have corn to sell and keep"
Treat everyone with civility.
Everything is gained and nothing
lost by courtesy" Good manners
insure success.
Never anticipate wealth from any
other source than labor especially
never place dependence upon becon1-
ing the poesessor of an inheritance.
5 HE who waits for dead mems
shoes may have to 60 for long time
barefoot" "He who runs after a
shadow has wearisome race
Above all things never despair.
"God is where He was" Heaven
helps those who help themselves. i"
Follow implicitly these preceptsi
and nothing can hinder you from ac-
cumulating.

That blends gray hairs with the dusky

With weary, despondent light.
It is not the work. but the worry

Or the steps OF the tired feet
Ah, mol But we plan and ponder,

he himself had selected ard sent from
the market, and after all his instruc-
tions as to how it should be broiied,
it was shockingly overdone-in fact,
almost burned to a crisp; his wife,
meantime, partaking of it with great
apparent relish.
"What taste that woman must
have I'he said to himself.
81 have made you an extra cup OF
tea today" said the lady opposite,
! handing him the cup with his des-
sert.
Hitherto Mr.. Flint had been very
particular in regard to his cup Of tea
at dessert, insisting that it should be
brought to the table both strong and
hot. Had the tea been prepared TO
his taste it would have soothed some
what the riotous emotions within !;
but on the contrary, it was miserably
week, quite lukewarm and brackish.
He took one sip at the tea and then
sat the cup down forcibly on the
table, his face expressing his dis
gust.
Madam glanced up at him from un-
der her long eyelashes, slipping from
her cup industriously, that her facial
muscles might not betray the amuse-
ment she felt.
81 knew you would think the tea
excellent she said.
This was too much. His rage and
disgust fairly boiled over.
sTea, madam, tea.l' he roared.
"Do you call that abominable stuff
tea ?"-Excellent, is it? Excel
lent -
"It is excellent" said madam,
sweetly. Mamma taught me how
to make tea when"
The Major had stood it for three
whole days, but flesh and blood could
endure it no longer. Not waiting
to hear more he jumped to his feet
and rushed into the hall. Here he
seized his hat in both hands, jammed
it down over his eyes, and started
for the street. Then, as If forgetful
of something, he retraced his steps
and thrusting his head in at the open
door, he shouted:
"Can you tell me where Mrs. Burns
went when she left here?"
''I think" said madam, deliber-
ately, eff my memory serves me
rightly. Iheard her speak Of stopping
with her little girl at Mrs. Marsh's
until she secured a situation" !"
Tie major departed.
+ "I thought the tea would about
finish him. said Mrs. Flint, anus
edly, gazing from the window at her
husbands retreating figure. the click
of his bootheels ringing like bell as
he brought his feet down vigorously
on the pavement, the small boys eye
ing him askance and Fastening out
of his way, wondering what had hap
pened.
1t is, perhaps, needless to say that
before evening closed Mrs. Burns
was again installed at the Flint man,
sion.
"It is useless" soliloquized the
major, mournfully, that evening in
his apartment II might as well at
tempt to move the boulders on yon-
der mountain top as to contend with
that woman -
And he never did again. For
whenever his wife appeared to him
in regard to the children or the do
mestic arrangements, he would an
swer in the meekest manner:
my dear, do as you think best"
And Mrs. Flint owed her success
to the fact that she never trenched
upon her husband S real prerogatives,
but respected them as she claimed
respect for her own.
And that is how she managed him.

HOW HR LOST IT.

A party of Kentuckians, including
Senator Lindsay and number OF the
House, were passengers on an east
bound train last fall, on their way to
attend the opening of Congress.
Before the party retired for the
night, the Senator had permitted
them to partake of the contents of a
flask, which he returned with reli-
gious care to the depths Of his dress
suit case.
In the morning, as the train was
vending its way through the Alle-
gheny Mountains, a member of the
party who had risen early, perceived
the Senator pacing up and down the
aisle, an expression Of disgust and
dismay upon his genial countenance:
whats the matter, Lindsay E
asked the other.
"Matter enough" was the reply,
"why, I've lost the better part Of my
baggage. .

DErERM1NrNa LEVELS.

A simple way of roughly determine
ing levels, and one which can readily
be practiced by any one and which
has the advantage of not requiring
any special apparatus, is by means
of a spirit level and board with a
straight edge. The way to go about
it is this: First determine on two
points, the levels of which you wish
to know and drive stakes into the
ground. Then take a board with a
straight edge and tack it. to a tree, if
one happens to be available, in line
with these two stakes. Put the
board at such height that you can
readily sight over it and carefully
level this board by means of the spir-
it level. Then sight it over toward
one of the stakes, having some one
at that stake who will, by means of
a small piece of paper, locate the
point at which your line of vision
cuts tin other words, where a line
projected from your sighting board
would strike the stake. Make some
sort of mark at this point and then
sight to the other stake in the same
way and mark the point where the
line would strike it. By measuring
distances that these two points are
above the ground you can get the
difference in levels with reasonable
accuracy. For instance, if your line
of vision has cut one stake eight feet
from the ground and the other one
five feet from the ground, then OBJ
viously the difference in level is three
feet, or, In other words, the vicinity
of the stake on which the mark Is
five feet from the ground is three
feet higher than the other stake, and
you will have three foot fall from
this point to the other.-Fa,nsing.

RULES OF LIFE.

Do not worry.
Keep sweet. Vinegar in jug is
a good thing, but in people it is a
nuisance.
Never depart from the truth.
Be courteous.
Never blame another when it IS
possible to blame yourself.
Touch elbows with the rank and
file.
Speak every day to some one whom
you know to be your superior.
Speak every day, if possible, to
some one whom you know to be your
inferior.
Ask no impertinent questions.
Keep your discouragements to
yourself, hiding them from the world
with a cheerful exterior for your
own sake and for those around you.
"To thine own self be true; and
it must follow, as the night the day,
thou canst not then be false to any
man."
Look before you leap.
