A Mistake.

No one Of US, even the most good
natured, likes to have his mistakes
pointed out. We may appear not to
mind corrections and accept them with
a smile, but it is human nature to
smart under correction, although some
Of us may be clever enough to conceal
the smart: hence the fewer mistakes
we call attention to in others the bet
ter. Two.thirds of the mistakes we
make are trivial. Their correction Is
unimportant. Why. then, notice them?
Yet some people do. and do so con-
stantly. A person speaks of having
done a certain thing on Thursday,
when in reality it was done on Wednes-
day. If no important point is involv-
ed. why call attention to the mistake?
What good does it do to have the ex-
act day set right? 1t is matter of
no Importance, so why insist upon cor
recting the trivial error? Stanch
friendships have often been pricked
by this needle of useless correction.
1t is a great art, this art Of learning
to allow others to be mistaken when
the mistake is unimportant. Few
learn it, but those who do are among
the most comfortable friends one can
have

THE GROUND HOGS SHADOW.

The prophet, Ground Hog, the sew.
enth son of the seventh son of
woodchuck sire, must have been dis
gusted with his visit in Durango a
week ago today, II as much cannot be
said for other sections Of the country.
OF course. our readers know the story.
II the sun is shining when the
ground hog interrupts his Information
and comes out of his hole-which is
scheduled by the best authorities on
ground hog lore to be exactly at high
noon-he will become disgusted at the
sight of his own shadow and will i'm
mediately retire, pulling the hole in
after him. alas! This action Is proof
positive that winter will last six more
weeks. or until the middle of March.
But II the sky is overcast the ground
hog, being a lover OF gloom, will be
gin to frisk about over the landscape.
as skittish as young pup, and his
trail will be followed by zephyrs from
the south. robins, drizzles and all the
other harbingers of spring, ira la.
At least, that is what the almanacs
and the oldest inhabitants assert, and
far be It from anyone to claim that
the ground hogs infallibility on the
weather question is only myth.
or course, Prof. Bo Dale, the city's
most famous prognosticator. does not
believe much in this ground hog story
and when asked about the legend the
other day threw up his hands in hor-
ror.
ASK me something easy" said the
professor-"who was Hiawatha, or the
origin of the sun myths OF the Black
feet, or what is the symbolism of the
snake dance of the Moquis. for In
stance. must confess my Ignorance
of the genesis Of this myth. which
survives here in the United States.
Perhaps the ground hog is relative
Of B'rer Rabbit OF the Uncle Remus
fables and was imported from Africa
with him."

A SNARE FOR FARMERS.

A well organized band of starpers
has been operating through the rural
sections of number of western
states and reaping a harvest from the
innocent farmer who thinks ne sees
an opportunity to make a little money
outside of his regular income. The
plan to separate the agriculturist from
his cash is the mote scheme" with
few accessories.
A representative OF what purportS
to be poultry food company with
headquarters in Omaha calls at the
country home and proposes 10 the
farmer that he become an agent for
the firm and sell their goods in his
neighborhood The agent points out
TO his victim the superior qualities OF
the stock and paultry food he has TO
offer and makes it clear that the man
of the soil in his spare time may make
| handsome income by acting as agent
| for the food company.
After entangling his victim the agent
| presents a contract for the farmer TO
| sign binding him to sell the goods and
allowing him a commission of 40 per
cent. The contract Is apparently fair,
| but woe betide the man who signs II.
The document begins with a date line.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The situation in the Philippine is
lands is such that unless the policy
of the government is changed there
will never be any danger Of competi-
ton with either the tobacco or the
sugar interests in the United States.
The production of both staples has
reached its limit in the Philippines
with the present supply Of labor. and,
unless Chinese or Japanese coolies are
introduced, very little more land can
be cultivated. The government is now
extending the railway facilities OF the
Islands to encourage the development
of their material resources, but all
that expense will be wasted unless the
labor supply is also increased. 1t is
the opinion of the best informed peo-
pie that the capacity OF the native
labor has reached its limit and that
it is actually decreasing; that 1t will
be more and more difficult to cultivate
the plantations and to carry on en-
terprisess in which manual labor is
required as the years go by. This is
attributed to education Our govern
ment has provided a universal system
of free schools. There is scarcely a
child of school age In the island oil
Luzon who is not under instruction,
and educational facilities are being
rapidly extended to the population oi
the other islands. But, as the young
peopl learn 10 read and write, they
leave the farms and flock to the cities
in search OF clerical positions and sim
liar employment This tendency Ii
even greater than among the negroes
of our southern states, where, a. yo'
know, 1t is very difficult to persuade
; man or a woman with any education
to do manual labor. Under Spanis
rule the government furnished emplo,
ment for almost every Filipino wh
, could perform clerical duties, and tina
n has been true TO an even greater e.
4 tent since American occupation. II
n deed. many Filipinos are laboring III
I der a delusion that the government
It educating them to fill official position
Thus our benhcent policy OF educatic
q ia gradually undermining the lab
y system OF the islands. and Its wisdo
has been frequently questioned

Inspectors who were appointed to
canvass the votes cast in the recent
life insurance elections say the whole
business is a farce, the insurance law
under which the election was held
having been so worded as to admit
of various interpretations SO that the
officials of the companies may have
the votes counted practically to suit
themselves. There seems to be no
way for the policy holders to get
from under.
