like one OF the family. antl mother was
glad to have her help. and none or us
put on any frIlls with her. and she was
not compelIedfto put on any fritls or
cap or apron with us. Outlines, espe-
clally in the quiet country places, her
social standing was as good as, that Of
anybody else. Usually she was one Of
a grown family of girls There was
plenty Of help at her house, and 80 she
came and assisted our mother ut our
house. In their hours OF ease mother
and she discussed the nelghbofho6d
gossip together. The "hired girP' had
her beau. a nelghbors stolId, sheepiSh

him. and finally, after years Of faithful
and friendly servitude. she married
him. We went to the wedding. and 1t
was quite social a6air. With much

Oscar s. straus.

Oscar Solomon Straus, the present Secretary of the Department of Com merce and Labor, was born in Rhenish Bavaria. December 22. 1850. He came to the United States with his parents at an early age and the most of his eoyhood was spent in Georgia, in which State his father had located NThe elder Straus was ruined financially by the civil war and, leaving Georgia, re- moved to New York to begin life anew. Oscar attended the public schools and in 1871 graduated from Columbia Col- lege. Two years later he graduated from Columbia Law School. While in college Mir. Straus supported himself by writing for the newspapers. He early rose to prominence in his chosen profession. but In 1880 he was forced to give up his practice of law because of falling health. In 1887 he was ap- pointed Minister to Turkey by Presi- dent Cleveland and his mission to that country was remarkably successful. In 1889 he returned to America. but m 1897 was reappointed to the office of Minister to Turkey by President Me- Kinley, and retained Ii for three years. In 1902 President Roosevelt appointed MT. Straus to the vacancy in the Per- manent Court of Arbitration at The Hague caused by the death of ex-Pres- ident Harrison. Mir. Straus Is said to be the first Jew to be a member of the United States cabinet.

HALLS OF FAME.

England is also having trouble about the Hall of Fame business, just as we have had 1t over here. The trouble all comes about because some names have been selected, which critics think should not have been put in, while some have been left out which the same critics claim ought to have been chosen. Naturally there Is dissatisfac- tion from both causes.
 But how can such a matter be set tied to the satisfaction of everybody? It can't be done until all men and wo- men get to thinking and seeing exact Iy alike. When, out of large num- Der of names of poets or other writ CTS a certain number is to be selected for great honor, and no room can be made for more, we cannot see how 1t is possible to give universal satisfac- ton. One writer may be favorite with some and another with others. If that writer Is selected there will he and if not selected 1t will be just as bad.
 If all the noted writers of England had been placed in nomination. and the choice Of certain number left to a vote Of ell the people, those showing the highest vote could be taken as rep resspting the decision of a majority of the peopie, bat even that would have left complaints of unfairness, lack Of judgment or some other cause upon which to found criticism.

Now the news comes that the alfalfa

Now the news comes that the alfalfa growers of the West, especially in Nebraska, are preparing to make sys- tsnatic war on the whole breed of gophers which do much harm to their crops. The gophers. or pouch ed-rats' often called salamanders by people Of this section, are very numerous in some parts of the West. They burrow under the ground and destroy the seeds. and later the roots, of the all falfa plants. and the piles of earth they throw up at frequent intervals smother and kin the young plants. in all these ways causing much loss to the farmers. They multiply rapidly and in some sections have become a serious nuisance which the people reek to rid themselves of. Now if some one will start the fad of eating gopher meat and making it a fashion able diet thereIl be money in it for The westerners. Perhaps gopher meat might be as good as rabbit, if people would think so.

They know that he is no relation of the Confederate President, or should know 1t by this time. but that doesn't prevent their sticking to 1t.

 1t is well to remind the people that the government is not fatherly bene- factor. conferring blessings upon the people. For dozen years one politi- cal party has dinned into our ears the full dinner pail' and attempted to convince the voters that 1t was US particular administration that kept the administration as scattering plenty over the land. and has claimed the credit of bountiful crops. immense manufactures, and vast commerce Tn fact. Ats political orators have boldly claimed that prosperity is a Repuoli- can asset"
 If political party claims the credit for prosperity 1t must not complain when it Is blamed for diversity. The Republican politicians are now gather ing some of the fruits of false teach ings for they are being blamed Tor the panic. even as they blamed Presl- dent Cleveland and the Democrats Tor the hard times that succeeded the panic of 1893.
 Not only has such teaching misled the people. but has fostered the idea of paternalism in government that has resulted not only in all kinds or schemes for governmental regulation. but in the demand of the President for greatly increased power. It has re- every dominant act of the Executive as Justified if it Is done in the interest of the peoplR. It has in many minds justified encroachments of the Federal government on the rights reserved to the states and the overruling of the plain provisions of the Constitution on which our government Is found

Watson and Finance.

 If the chancellor lived in our day. he would probably change his famous admonition to something like this Behold: my. son.. With how little knowiedge history is writ" MT. Thomas F. Watson. in a communica- cd on Wednesday. delivered himself of this specimen of misinformation;
 '"The first issue of treasury notes. under MT. Lincoln's administration, were full legal tender between man and man. simple reason that every citizen could do as much with a paper dollar as he could with coin dollar"
 Did Mir. Watson. who pleads guilty of treasury potesr Possibly not. and if he did. he has forgot it's terms and It's import The dates of those statutes were not "greenbacks." and were never so classed in the fiNincial nomencia- tnre of our government until Mir. Tom Watson thus distinguished them. so far as our poor information advises us. And 1t is proper Co add that they were not made full legal tender until the act of March IT, 1882. was approved. Besides. they were seo.ooo.ooo and not ''HiUf'iiSHt But that is not all. This very issue MT. Watson exto1s SO flatteringly, was in express terms of the law creating t. redeemable in coin on demand Of the holder. and there was a dollar in coin behind every dollar of them, and that is what made them as valuable before they got to be full legal tender as they were after the law made them so. They were hoarded just like gold. and by midsummer of 1882 they were as hard to get as gold. while the sure- enough greenback that MT. Watson confounds them with, grew on black berry briers. to be had for the pick ing. so to speak.
 It Is manifest that Mir. Watson has meyer brought his tremendous powers of ractiocination to contemplate the fact that our gold certificates are not full legal tender, and yet they arc worth their par value everywhere. Why? Because there is gold in the treasury to redeem every dollar of them.
 As for the demand notes." the full legal tender stamp when put on them added naught to their value. for they were worth as much before as akter that act.

We sometimes think that we more moderns--or many of us--are going through like process in our daily lives. We live to make money and we make money to live. and for many these two objects combine to make up the sum of human existence. And speaking of the grinding existence of most of us The Portland oregonian says:
 Truly we have taken much from their language makes us more or less questioned, but the oblisations them; which the Greeks had, however. we have missed. To them the great end and aim of human life was beauty and espRipsss os pts ss happness an trivial if 1t is not sinful. =

 If we come down to hard facts whore is there a really beautiful city in the United States? There are numbers of them which could be made so, but will any one pass along the streets of even the best kept of our cities and say that 1t is beautiful? Perhaps 1t is hardly fair to compare our cities of the present with those of ancient Greece. Conditions are as different as are the two civilizations and where it may have been an easy matter for them to make their cities clean and beautiful it would be infinitely more difficult under the conditions that pre- vail fin our day. Still. would it not be well to devote a little more time to the cultivation of beauty and hap piness and a little less to grinding connmercialism7

DEATH,s HARVEST.

It is a horrifying reflection that just at this time. when joy and happi- ness and cheerfulness should prevail all over the country, hundreds of homes are clothed in sorrow and gloom. hundreds of widows and or phans in mourning and hundreds of families made desolate. all on account of the terrible mining disasters which have followed each other in such rap i'd succession and with sueb awful ef- fects. Tn West Virginia, in Alabama and in Pennsylvania these catastro- phes have come with startling rapidity and with awful results. Where there were bright anticipations of e happy Christmas season there is now only tears and despair. The Grim Reaper has visited the places of toll and has laid his hands on the many who de- pended on husbands and fathers for subsistence. Without warning the blows falls and the black pail of death QeSccHuS OFCE hhpeC "AS "NaN Ns~""~ ing no evil. Perhaps" comments The Chattanooga Times. speaking of these disa sters, there will be no let up in these horrible happenings until men refuse to work in mines or the operat- ing companies have devised some sys- tenn by which explosions will be rem dered impossible. In each of these calamities the fault seems to have been with the men, who were careless and neglectful of orders, which presents rather a hopeless view of any measure of remedy, unless way can be found by which carelessness and neglect of the miners themselves can be made harmless. That being apparently im- possible mining will continue to be the most hazardous trade in which men can engage.
