That Tired Feeling.

They are finding the toxins of most
Of the ills that beset humanity nowadays,
and once the toxin is known the devel-
opment OF the antitoxin is only a ques-
ton Of time. The latest achievement is
that Of a Bayarlan scientist who asserts
that fatigue is caused by poison which
can be eliminated by an antitoxin which
he has discovered. Already our soda
fountains and drug stores are literally
stocked with concoctions for the cure of
that tired feeling" but the new prepara-
tion, it is claimed. eliminates fatigue en-
tirely, and therefore. doubtless, viii be
hailed with delight by hustling world
If the Bavarian's discovery is all that
it IS said 10 be. we can readily see how
far-reaching may be its effects Many Of
the social ills from which we suffer re-
the evening would be less frequent If the
man did not return from his office tagged
out, or if the wife were not wearied by
the care Of a house and a bevy of chill
iren. One dose OF the Bavarian anti
toxin, and such clashes would be avoided
All would be serene and happy Here,
perhaps, Is the solution Of the divorce
question. Divorce is asked for frequently
because husband and wife have grown
tired Of each other. a supply Of the Ba-
varian antitoxln in the house would pre-
vent this; people Just couldn't get tired.
and for the first time in the worlds his
tory the course Of true love might really
run smooth.
And Yet who is there that would not
get tired II he could? II the antitoxin for
fatigue becomes general in use. we might
go on working forever. Sunday the day
of rest might be dropped from the cal
endar; the luxury OF lying In bed late in
the morning would never be known. Va
cations would be useless; no one would
need TO go TO the mountains TO recuperate
or TO the seashore for a rest. Perhaps.
after all, it is better for US to work, and
work until we get so tired that we can
not grind any more, and jhen, instead Of
taking something TO keep US working
spend a few days fishing. or boating or
lOIling in the sand in a bathing suit. Any
one Of these things seems better for that
tired feeling than any new-fangled cure.

Think Bingham's Reign Ended.

Many newspaper readers seem to be
coming around to the opinion that a de-
liberate plan to get rid of Police Com
missioner Bingham is on foot among
the police in New York City. It is well
known that the former army officer, who
shone so brilliantly in Washington while
he was stationed here as superintendent
of public buildings and grounds in the
District of Columbia, which position car
ries with it the honor OF being the chief
social factotum at the White House, is
by no means popular among the men he
commands. 1t is pointed out that while
the recent epidemic of crime in New York
is bad from the standpoint of the dis
gruntled policemen, it Is worse so far
as the commissioner is concerned, and
some observers do not hesitate to ex
press the opinion that the exhibitions of
cowardice and inefficiency on the part Of
members of the force may be part of a
deliberate plan so to discredit the COM
missioner as to bring about his removal
However all that may be, 1t seems OBJ
vious that few Of the thousands Of men
under Commissioner Bingham are his
friends. and that IL he succeeds in re
naming in Office, it will be in the face
of increasing difficulties.

Babeock Favors Taft.

Mr. Taft, by the way, seems to be as
sured of support for his Presidential boom
from a quarter In which some OF his
friends, at least, have expected opposition.
That Is to say. the Hon. Joseph Weeks
Babcock, Of Wisconsin and the District
of Columbia, long time member Of Con-
gress from the State named, chairman Of
the District Committee IN the House, and
chairman Of the Republican Congressional
Campaign Committee. has announced that
he favors the nomination and election Of
the Secretary of War as successor TO
Theodore Roosevelt. This news is con-
tanned in Il dispatch from Milwaukee,
which is TO the effect that Mr.. Babcock
gave out brief pro-Taft interview while
passing through that city the other day
on his way TO his summer home. Bah"

as saying that the political situation I'm
presses him as "a case of the field against
Taft, with the odds heavily IN favor OF
that gentleman because Of his backing by
President Roosevelt. Some Of those who
know Mr. BabcOck are unkind enough to
intimate that his belief that Taft will win
explains his advocacy OF Taft. but that is
put down as pure spite by the Wisconsin
patriots countless ardent admirers

there is no possibility Of President Roose-

Mr. Oswald Wilson, whose residence Is

whore he has extensive mining and busi-
ness interests, calls attention to a feature
Of the INSTRUMENTATION tariff situation
which Is interesting. Not only has the
state Of Zacatecas exempted from taxa
ton for a term Of years the properties
which Mr Wilson and his associates are
developing and which, when developed
are expected 10 add materially 10 the
prosperity OF the country, but the general
government has waived the collection Of
tariff duties on machinery and other
articles imported into Mexico from the
United States for development purposes.
There IS very ardent desire for recipro-
cal treatment Of Mexican products of a
kind which are not manufactured in this
country, and would not, therefore. com
pete to any extent with our manufac-
lures, Mr. Wilson says. On some of the
Mexican goods the rate Of duty Is above
% per cent. although no such goods are
made in the United States. and no harm
can come 20 any American industry be-
cause Of their importation.

dog was pathetic. His master had
gone out In a boat which had over
turned and had been drowned. A
rescuing party arrived on the scene
Just too late and took the body to
the other side Of the lake, mile
away.
The dog arrived at the edge of the
water just in time to see the body
of his master lifted out. Plunging in,
he swan across the lake. The poor
animal licked the hands and face and
when he saw that his caresses were
in vain he seated himself at his mas
ter's feet and refused to move. He
followed the hearse to the burying
ground and seated himself discon-
solately. at the side of the grave
until the services were over. Then
every day he made trip to the little
cemetery and lay with his head be-
tween his paws beside the grave
A few weeks went by and the dog
began to pine. He refused to eat his
food and his visits to the grave be-
came more frequent. And then one
night when the wind was bowling he
started out alone. A few days later
they found his body on the shore and
buried him beside his master.
