WHY HE WAS TIRED.
Return from the Annual Nonsense
 Known as Vacation"

A man alighted from a train, and after walking laboriously up the short flight of stairs which led to the wait ing-room, stopping few times on the way to rest, he looked round for a place to sit down. His wan, thin face, heavy eyes, and general appearance of weakness and dejection attracted at tention, and kind old gentleman ac. costed the stranger and asked if he could be of any assistance.
 Moo, thanks" the young man drawled out; "Tll get along if I take my time about it."
 Are you ill?"
 Moo, I'm not ill But I feel as if l were completely done up."
 Been in an accident?"
 Moo I'm just tired: that's all. Thanks; you may call a hanson for me, if you will Don't believe l could ever walk out to the tramway. don't mind if you carry my bag. I'm so tired"
 Whats the matter with you?"

FOR HAPPY MARRIED LIFE.
Good Manners Go Far to Preserve
 Peace and Concord.

A great many people seem to think that the marriage ceremony absolves them from all further courtesies and attentions to the person whom they have wed. After that they are always in negligee, both as to manners and clothes, when they are at home. This is a fatal mistake. Because a woman is married is no excuse for her going untidily about the house, and telling her husband home truths that hurt his vanity. Because woman is his wife gives man no right to say things to her he would not dare to say to any other lady who possessed big, able bodied brother. Good manners are tho preservation of peace and concord, and are warranted to keep happiness in any climate. The problem of how to be happy though married is really no problem at all. No mystery should ever have been made of 1t. It is mere ly fair dealing in fair partnership giving the other party the privileges and perQuisites you assume for your self, and allowing the person you love as much consideration and civility as you would show a stranger-New York Weekly.

Safisfactorx Eire.

During the discussion of the Mad don bill for cheaper gas Congressman Legare told the following story of a cook he had once brought from home with him, says the Pittsburg Press. She was a splendid servant, but she didn't know anything about gas to cook with, so he went to the kitchen with her to explain about the range. So that she could see how it operated, he lit each of the many burners. While still explaining. message called him from the kitchen, and he left her, saying: q guess you will find that it will work all right now, Martha" He didn't see the cook again for four or five days. then upon enter ing the kitchen he said: Well, Mar. tha. how's that range doing?"
 To his utter consternation she re piled: "'Deed, sir. that's the best stove ever did see. That fire what you kindled for me four days ago is still a-burning, and it ain't even low cred once.'

THAT CLEVELAND MYSTERY.
Police Now Have New Theory of the Cause of Death of John J.
 Phillips.

Cleveland. O., Sept. 7.-New theo- ries, suspicions and developments in the mystery surrounding the death of John q. rhillips, coal operator and broker, follow each other in rapid sue eession. Friday the officers were searching for a former employe, who is suspected of having caused the death of Phillips. Monday Phillips was shot and killed at his home in the aristocratic part of East Cleveland. That day he was believed to have been killed by burglar. Tuesday 1t was thought Phillips committed sui eide. Wednesday this theory was dis proved and suspicion was directed against the widow. A warrant was issued for her arrest. Thursday the officials began to doubt this theory, and Friday were searching for the man formerly employed about the Philips house, whom Mrs. Phillips says she saw in front of her home just after her husband was shot.
 Phillips private secretary says this man called at Phillips office Tuesday morAing. The object of his call was not disclosed by Dunn except to the officials, but he was to have returned Wednesday morning, Dunn says, but so far has not been seen It was stated by Chief Stamberger today that Mrs. Phillips will be placed under ar rest during this afternoon, but there would be no surprise here if the war rant should be withdrawn.

GRAVES NOW MADE LEVEL.
Radical Change in Cemetery Arrange.
 ments Meets With Approval.

Modern cemetery ideas that run contrary to deep-seated sentiment usu- ally create dissatisfaction when they are first introduced. Just now. says Park and Cemetery. the lot holders in Cedar Grove cemetery, Brooklyn, N. r., are agitated over the rule Srovid- ing for the leveling of all grave mounds. Many of the lot holders who are now paying for annual care of their lots object to a notice to the ef- feet that mounds on lots for which an- nual care is not paid would be leveled. Some resent 1t as "a mean outrage. ' Other cemeteries have had similar experiences. In Lakewood cemetery, Minneapolis, when a new law went in- to effect regarding the lowering of grave mounds there were many pro tests, but in less than a year when the changed appearance of the sec tions made apparent the marked i'm proyement in the landscape by lower ing the mounds to an almost imper- ceptible rise over the graves lot hold CTS began requesting this treatment of their lots and within short period of time several thousand grave mounds had been lowered, the cost of annual care materially reduced and the gen eral appearance of the grounds great. ly improved.

SECURED VALUABLE DATA
X Committee of United States I'm
 migration Commission Returns From European Tour.
SENATOR OLLINGHAM's STATEMENT
c.,,mittee Visited Every European Country from Which Any Consider snle Number of Immigrants Come wtl Make Important Recommends tions to Congress.

New York, Sept. 7.--After several antbs, tour of inquiry into tn. i'm migration situation abroad. which car .;od them through England and con- .,aontal Europe, the members of the ~rh-committee of the United States ,,,r,ieration commission arrived here rriday. The members of the com n,,ssion returning Friday were Sena- .ors Dillingham; of Vermont and Lat ,ner of South Carolina, Congressman tyowell of New Jersey and Burnett of Alabama. The members obtained ,,uch data which they believe will aid In solving many immigration prob lems. Senator Dillingham; made the following statement:
 "The subcommittee has visited avery European country from which we received any considerable number If immigrants, and has studied the more important phases of the ques- tion in each. The question of pre- venting the coming of criminal classes into the United States has been a chief subject of investigation, and it is probable that important recommen- aation on this matter will be made to congress.
 1The subject of immigration is a naramount one in most of the coun- fries we have visited. and in most of them the attitude toward emigration is not favorable. The constant and long continued drain upon the rural population, from which class the great majority of emigrants come, and the general prosperity which now prevails has produced a scarcity of farm labor, and it is claimed the agricultural in- dustry is suffering in consequence. Because of this scarcity of labor the condition of those remaining at home has, to a degree, improved, but the general condition is causing much alarm among land owners, and a strong sentiment against emigration has developed A very large propor- ton of male emigrants leave their na- tive country at time when they are liable to military service there, and this constitutes a strong objection to some emigrants. During the tour of inquiry and investigation the commis- sioners have secured important infor- nation and have made arrangements to secure more, and feel confident that before their work is completed recom- mendations can be made to congress which if acted into law, will be both valuable and important
