Insane Woman Burns $1,000.

Wolverine Mich.-Altho his wife re-
Gently took poison, tried twice to drown
herself, attempted to cast herself under
thru the window Of rapidly moving
passenger coach after she had swal-
lowed two $40 bills, Joseph Gariepy Of
this city refused to have her commit
ted to a hospital for the insane. AS a
result he now has only a pile of ashes
to represent the savings of lifetime
$4,000 in all, which the woman burned
bored evil spirits.
Gariepy and his son work in the cop-
per mines here, and by frugality and
simple living saved the money, which
they cached in the cellar, being dis
trustful of banks. They have known
for months that the wife and mother
was insane, but have had her closely
near Menominee, under the name of
Mrs. William Devereaux of Republic,
that Mrs. Gariepy made her five at
tempts to die, after which she was
brought to her home here.
The money which was burned was
all in bills. The only portion which
was saved was $11 in gold and silver,
and the local bank despairs of securing
any salvage from the ashes of the cur
rency, which was burned almost to
ashes.
The woman will be committed to
hospital for treatment

STAND PAT.

''Stand pat" and ''let we'll enough
alone" are words often heard and often
expressed in listless and supine content
ment. Nothing this side of heaven is
so good that it could not be better.
Absolute perfection is something never
attained by mortal man, and '1et well
enough alone" is the greatest obstacle
existent in the way of approaching as
near as possible to the State. If this
phase had been the slogan of primeval
man We would be depending upon the
raw meat of animals slain with clubs
for our daily existence. War and
slaughter would still be our favorite
pastime and we would still be living in
caves and inglorious death our earthly
end. -Lynchburg Advance.
That depends very much upon the
stand pat" one is standing for. The
stand pat" policy of the Republican
party is apolicy of progression. The
stand pat' policy of the Democracy is
one of retrogression. The policy of the
Republican party is forward. The
policy of the Democratic party is "back-
ward" If you turn backward to the
fathers for a policy of government, how
far back will you go? Are you looking
backward or are you looking forward?
You can answer this by saying whether
you are Republican or Democrat.

Stopped Train to Save Bird.

Rather than see a turkey hen.
which was caught in a fence beside
the track, starve to death, Conductor
William Zimmers, of the Lancaster.
Oxford & Southern railroad, stopped
a trainload of passengers near Oxford,
Pa, recently, in order to release the
bird from its plight The passengers.
instead Of growing at the delay, APP
plauded the conductor for his kind
act, despite the fact that the delay of
five minutes meant that some of them
would miss connections at the other
end of the line. The crew of this train
from Quarryville to Oxford noticed.
for several mornings, a turkey tied to
the hedge along the track. At first
they paid no attention, but after a
week, in which they had never seen
any food or water, they noticed that
the bird was gradually becoming
weaker. Finally a passenger. told
them of woman OF Mechanics Grove
who had lost a turkey which she had
tied in front of her barn to keep from
wandering away. Conductor Zimmers
Immediately jumped to the conclusion
that this unfortunate fowl was hers.
and that the string with which it was
tied had caught and was holding it
fast in the hedge. Upon his next run
he stopped the train, took on the bird.
and when they passed Mechanics
Grove threw 1t off into its own barn
yard.

Railroads in England.
lection.
(Pittsburg Post.)

Congressman Hepburn is quoted as
saying in London that railroad prob
lens in the United States arise princf-
pally from the dual nature of our gov
eminent. Nothing l have seen here
could be introduced in America. The
tremendous power the board of trade
has over transportation impressed me.
For instance, when new railroad is
projected the route and the amount of
capitalization must meet with the ap-
prevail of the board of trade before it is
sanctioned. This initial investigation
would have been good thing for the
United States when the railroads of
that country were in their infancy, but
think it is too late to try to introduce
it now"
Such an investigation would probably
have prevented the duplication of rail-
roads in territory where one would have
sufficed, but it might also have prevent
ed the construction of others that were
required, provided those charged with
the duty of approving or disappearing
showed themselves incompetent or dis
honest. 1t is interesting to note that
the English system has not prevented
some of the chief evils of which our
people complain. Suits have been en-
tered by number of English shippers
against railroads which they allege have
granted special rebates to their rivals
in trade. Apparently if we cannot Dor
row ideas as to the regulation of rail-
roads from the English, the latter are
finding that they can profit by our fight
for square deal.

CARE OF GARMENTS
PRECAUTIONS TAKEN BY THE
SMART WOMEN.
Neatness and Economy Result from
the Proper Putting Away Of
Dresses and Accessories In
the Best Manner.

The woman who knows how to put
away her belongings is not only neat.
But economical, and generally smart
in appearance. When she comes in
from a walk she never hangs up her
coat by the loop inside the collar. II
she puts it away in the cupboard she
uses a coat hanger; if she leaves it
around the room, knowing that she
may need it soon, she disposes it over
the back of a chair, that will keep it
in shape.
The skirts of her gowns never have
a stringy look, because they are al
ways hooked and then hung up by two
loops. For a tailor-made skirt she
uses a small coat hanger, with the
ends bent down a little. This keeps
the skirt in excellent shape. and
causes it to hang in even folds.
The strings OF her underskirt are
tied, and the garment is hung by the
loops. thus never showing a hump
where it has rested on the hook.
For the same reason her blouses
are always hung by the armholes, I'M
less they have hanging loops. Hand.
some ones are stuffed with tissue pa
per. and are then laid in drawers or
boxes.
Shoes are easily kept in shape by
slipping pair Of trees in them as
soon as they are removed from the
feet If trees are not available, news
paper will do, II it is stuffed in tight
1t is well to roll each veil on a stiff
piece Of paper; a single fold will often
spoil the set of veil and sometimes
even mar the expression of the face.
Gloves should always be removed
by turning them wrong side out; they
should then be turned back again,
blown into shape. and each finger
smoother out.
Hats, Of course, should be kept out
of the dust and placed so that the
trimming will not be disarranged.
Furs, also, should be protected from
dust, and a muff should always be
stood on end
If women realized the most of their
belongings are lying idle more than
they are being worn they would, per-
haps, be more attentive to these little
niceties, which are small things in
themselves, but go far toward keep
ing them looking trim. The perfec-
ton of each detail is noticeable in the
woman who has mastered the art OF
putting things away.

CONFLICTING ANSWERS.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Nor
folk Virginian-Pilot, is almost frantic
in its hostility to protective tariff. 1t
never loses an opportunity to ridicule
protection In a recent issue our Nor
folk contemporary hurled its ridicule at
our present tariff system with the fol-
lowing:
THE standpatters, who insist that
the growth of an Unfortunately wealthy
class in the country, proves the wisdom
and JUSTICE of taxing the majority of
the people for the benefit of the few,
should have lived in the time of a sage
Arabian Philosopher who was only to
be convinced by real argument. We
are indebted to the New York Journal
for the substance OF the anecdote. The
Philosopher was disputing with Jug
gler on mathematical question and his
adversary performed a stunt to show
his superior power. Said the Philoso-
pher:
''YOu may tell me that twice two are
five. You may say to me, Twice two
are five, and to prove it I'll change this
walking stick into a snake But even
if you do change the walking stick into
d snake, I'll only say, That is very in
teresting, but it has nothing to do with
twice two Twice two are four, and
that fact will remain, even though you
change every walking stick in the world
into boa constructor.
In the same column the Virginian-
Pilot published the following paragraph:
eff the country at large is really suf-
fering from a dearth of money, how
would it do for the despised South to
come to the rescue. Our cotton crop
this year, at the present prices obtain
able for the staple, is worth in round
figures one thousand millions of dol
lars"
Of course our esteemed contemporary
did not stop to consider that in its sec
ond paragraph it was giving the answer
of a solid protectionist philosopher to
the free trade juggler who is insisting
that two and two do not make four.
And right here we would like to ask our
free trade juggler friends what the cot
ton crop of the South of this year would
have been worth in the days of the
Wilson-Gorman Democratic tariff?
You may swear that two and two make
five and change your free trade walking
stick into a snake to prove it; but you
cannot prove that this years cottor
crop would have been worth more thar
half as much under the Wi1son-Gormar
tariff as it will be worth under tn,
Dingley law.
