Golden Rules.

Here's a short set of rules for good painting; good thing to follow:
 1. Put on coats enough; two anyway, probably three. The first to protect the wood; the second to protect the first: the third-if you paint three-to pro- tect the other two. It makes one perfect coat that lasts forever, if you take care of it.
 2 Take care of it by repaint. ing often enough to protect the first coat.
 3. Often enough depends upon the paint you use. Lead and -oil goes off in three years, lon the average; chalks off; washes off. Devoe lead and zinc paint will probably do we'll twice as long; maybe three times and the first cost is less. In other words, you get about two to one of lead and. oil wear | if you use Devoe lead and zinc paint.
 Real wisdom is not simply to know, but to do what you know. If you don't know take advice from somebody who does. Book here on painting free. Harbert Bros. sell our paint.

RICH MINERS
DIED OF A BROKEN HEART

SPANISH FORT, Tex, Nov. 21.-
That he might visit the grave of his
former sweetheart, Nellie Langham,
and shed a tear of fond memories in
days long ago, when she and Captain
Jack Springer were lovers, h latter
has returned to the home of his child
hood to spend a few days. Springer,
who was once a prominent Texas
Ranger, has again come from out his
hiding in Arizona, after forty years,
where he has been among the mex
plored mountains, apd came to Spanish
Fort. Texas.
Spanish Fort is a small village in
Montague County, where, for a num-
Der of years in the very early days,
applications were received for appoint
ment into the Texas Rangers, and at
which place the recruiting station was
situated, and where the rangers pro-
tected the Texas people from the on
slaught of the Indians from the ter
ritories.
The story, as revealed by this old
time Texas warrior, is one of more
than ordinary interest, Involving a ro-
nance the equal of few in real life.
Nellie Langham, the lass. of his
heart, was the daughter of a wealthy
West Virginia cattleman, who moved
here in the early sos. When they
moved from their far East home to
their new home in the far West, they
travelled overland in a wagon drawn
by oxen The young lady grew to
womanhood among the westerners, and
was always the delight of their
thought, whether on horseback, at
home or on the great expanse of prairie,
where the uncivilized redman did as
he desired.
On many a daring expedition into the
wilds of west Texas and the Indian
Territory Miss Langham was taken by
her fianee, when she was Is years of
age, and they were to be married as

BIG INTEREST FOR SAVINGS.

Interest rates for -wage-earners' saw
ings nave advanced wonderfully within
a short period. A few years ago a rate
of 4 per cent. would have been regarded
as incredible as offered by any stable
financial institution for savings de-
posits. But many of the largest and
most conservative savings banks of the
country are now paying 4 per cent. TO
depositors, and all the savings banks of
Newark now pay that rate.
Money all over the world has a higher
interest value than formerly, and it is
predicted that this will last for some
years. The fact ought to make money
more valuable in the eyes of the wage
Garner and induce him to a wiser econ
omy. The most e-xtravagant people in
the world are the American wage-earn-
ers, who, earning double and treble the
wages of European workmen, spend
their earnings with a lavishness I'M
known in any other country. The ele-
ment of French thrift, added to Ameri-
can earning capacity, would make
American workingmen capable of abb
sorbing all national loans and convert
them into a vast capitalistic class.

THE INJUSTICE OF THE LAW.

Law is described as the perfection of
common sense, but law as administered
under the judiciary system of New
Jersey cannot come within that def1ni-
ton. The Trenton Times comments
on a case which has finally been de-
cided after having been four times III
the Mercer County court, twice in the
Supreme Court and once In the Court
Of Errors and Appeals. The period of
litigation was six years. An employee
of a manufacturing company lost both
hands in an accident while he was at
work, n sued the company for dam
ages. He was given verdicts in the
trial courts, but on appeal the verdicts
were set aside on different points.
But, as the Times says. this is only
a specimen case, and it is by no means
thave been cases in which a cause has
been transferred back and forth be-
tween the law and equity courts for
years. There are cases in which large
estates have been eaten up in lawyers
fees. This rank injustice Of the law
has existed for years and every at
tempt to reform it has met the deter
mined opposition Of the selfish inter
ests that thrive upon the laws In

HONEST IN BUSINESS.
Observation of a Writer Accustomed to
Commercial Statistics.

Logan G. Mcpherson, al authority on
economic subjects connected with the rail-
ways, discusses in the North American
Review, the value of the intake and the
outgo of the industries represented by the
farmer. the manufacturer and the railroad
in the United States. He says;
LAS Secretary Root has recently pointed
out, there has been a mighty impetus
toward a fuller honesty in the conduct of
business. Practises that were easily
tolerated a generation ago are now under
the ban of public opinion. Rebates that
were once vigorously sought by everyone
who had a pretext for claiming them have
been dug up by the roots. The principal
shippers of today, the men who come IN
contact with the traffic officers of the rail-
roads and pay the freight bills, have little
complaint TO make of freigh rates. The
outcry has been most v0ciferous from those
who have not adjusted their business in
accordance with changing economic cur
rents. The cutlery has been taken up by
politicians-who do not ship freight or pay
freight bills-and their utterances have inn
pressed the great body of the people, who
likewise do not to any appreciable
extent ship freight or directly pay
freight bills. These people have been
ignorant of the fact that the freight
charges have been in constantly decreasing
ratio to the cost of production and the
cost of marketing the great commodities
Of daily need. The freight charge is so
low that 1t is seldom q factor in the retail
prices of these commodities. That Is, the
retail prices Of these commodities of daily
use, with but few exceptions, are deter
mined without reference to the rate of
freight; they would be neither higher nor
lower If the commodities were transported
by the railroads gratis"

NEW JERSEYS WRECKED CANALS.

Governor Stokes, who made the prin-
cipal address al the inland waterways
convention in Philadelphia yesterday.
dwelt particularly upon the value of
the Delaware and Raritan Canal as a
link in the proposed canal chain from
Massachusetts to Florida. He touched
briefly upon the history of this canal,
now a part of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road system, and his remarks indicate
perity by railroad ownership of its two
canals.
ished in 1884. In the following yea the
tonnage was $1,000 tons. In 1860 it had
increased to 1888. 900 tons. and in 1870
the tonnage was 4,OOO,0 900 tons. This
rapid increase of the traffic on the canal
attracted the attention of the Camden
and Amboy Railroad management. and
II was determined to put an end to
canal competition. Control was Sc
cured, a legislative act was passed and
the property passed over to the rail-
road company, to finally become the
property of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. 1t was not long before the
canal ceased to be a factor and the
great opportunities it presented never
materialized.
Governor Stokes showed that in 1870
the Delaware and Raritan Canal had
q tonnage more than three times
greater that year than the tonnage of
the Suez Canal, and more than the
entire ocean of New York
that year. A link between New York
Bay and the lower Delaware River, it
was capable of an immense future de-
velopment. But the blight of railroad
ceHtrol fell upon the Raritan Canal, as
it did upon the Morris Canal, which
in 1870 was a good paying property, with
q large and rapidly increasing tonnage.
This canal was acquired and wrecked
by the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany, and both the New Jersey canals
are now owned by foreign railroad COR
porations, contrary. as we believe, to
the laws of his State.

diminished water supply. They are
shown in other prodigal extravagances
in the use of some gifts of nature that
do not renew themselves. and the neg
lect of some the use of which would
have conserved others.
To put al end to this and to correct
it before it is too late is a question
that must be tackled. Federal and
State cooperation is sought and is
necessary to solve the problem, and
it is for that that the President called
this important conference.

COERCION OF THE VOTER.

A pecuniary reward for the citizen
who votes and a fine for the man who
neglects to vote in elections is proposed
to be made a part of the new organic
law in Michigan. This novel and
rather startling proposition is on the
order of a regulation for a refractory
child, a piece of cake for good be-
havior and the slipper for misconduct.
But after all 1t is an improvement on
the Pennsylvania plan of fining a mar
for voting by compelling him to a a
poll tax before he can deposit his
ballot.
The ballot is at once a personal right
and a personal duty in a democracy
like ours. There are other public
duties that the citizen is compelled to
discharge, and none is of any greater
Importance than that of voting. If
compulsion in one case, why not in an
other? But some of the laws in this
country actually discourage voting Or
make the duty difficult and burden
some. The law making the poll tax
receipt an essential to casting a vote is
one stupid obstacle to voting. The
voting machine is another.
MaAc all voting to be done by the
paPer ballot, which everybody. inclu-
ding the recently naturalized immigrant,
understands. Leave no obstacle in the
path to the ballot-box. Then devise
some kind of a penalty for the citizen
who shirks his public duty, and the
penalty should not be a pecuniary ons.
Some disgrace should be made to at
tach to the n~on-voter's neglect. A
period of Acknowledgement after the
second offense would have a salutary
effect, and the Acknowledgement should
be well advertised, so that all people
would know the delinquent. Make
%non-voting shameful and there will be
less Of it. But leave no Instructions
to a free ballot.

WHERE THE TROUBLE IS.

There are reports in the daily press
of the slowing down of large industries
here and there, of the curtailment of
operations in large enterprises and the
laying off of numbers of employees.
What does this indicate?
Nothing more than this: That cur
rency is scarce because man timid
people are boarding their money and
thus keeping it out of circulation. Cur
rency is financial life-blood. Without
it wages cannot be paid and necessary
expenses met. Large manufacturers
and large corporations pay out weekly
immense sums in currency for wages.
AS they cannot get the currency ex-
cept at prohibitive rates, they nave de-
creased their expenses and reduced
their wage account until currency shall
flow out again.
As President Roosevelt has declared,
perity and there is nothing to interrupt
prosperity except sheer lack of cur
rency. The nation is richer than it
ever was, the crops have been abun-
dant. we are making enormou sales
to foreign countries, and we lack Moth
ing but, temporarily, enough medium of
exchange to carry on the operations
of business. If people generally could
get this fact through their heads, there
would be no boarding and there woHld
be no trouble.

LEAN MEAT DIET.
Dangerous Food for Persons Prone to
Liver Trouble.

Liver Trouble.
The truth seems to be that a person sub
sisting upon a lean meat diet, while he may
manifest a greater amount of strength
than upon a more natural diet, and may
be unconscious of any abnormal condition,
Is like a person In a powder magazine-he
is in constant danger OF vital catastrophe,
is the verdict of Professor Rauther, Of
Bonn. Tit poison destroying functions of
his liver and the poison eliminating ca
pacity of his kidneys are taxed to their
utmost. to keep the proportion of ptomaine
and leucomaines in the tissues down to a
point which permits of the performance
of the vital functions.
The margin Of safety which nature has
wisely made very large in order to pro-
vide for emergencies is reduced to the mar
owest possible limit, so that anything
which temporarily interferes with the
functions Of the liver or the kidneys, or
which imposes additional work upoh them,
may be sufficient to obliterate the safety
margin and produce an attack OF grave or
fatal disease.
Invasion Of the body by ptomaIne-pro-
ducing microbes. such rs the typhoid bacil-
mococcus OF Friedlander, the shocks re-
sulting from accident, and even the de-
preston Of g severe cold may be sufficient
to consume the meagre emergency capital
and the result Is acute Inflammation OF
the kidneys, or death under chloroform or
from shock following an operation under
