This business Of polishing silver in
profound silence was getting on her

The mistress remembered hearing a
voice, singularly like her own, that
had lifted itself up, and proclaimed:
"If the employers Of domestic help
would remember that their maids are
human beings and not machines, the
servant problem would solve itself.
So she felt constrained to ask: And
did she have It all that while?"
NO, she didn't; a lady gave her a
cure; she says Get up every morning

National Extravagance.

Most any man who has plenty
of money to spend. and is willing
to spend it, can make himself
popular with the people generally.
Let young man inherit a for
tune and proceed to consume it
in a fine home, driving outfit, big
dinners. etc, and everybody will
point with pride" to the gentle
man while the process is going
on. Herein lies the secret of Mr..
Roosevelt's great popularity as
we'll as the popularity of his
party. During three years of the
civil war, from 1862 IS, there was
expended 1894, ,S3O.931 During
the Roosevelt years l9O6-l9O9
So, ,428,S ,S09,371. That is to say
there was spent by Roosevelt dur
ing three years of peace S33.97S.-
440 more than was spent during
the four years of civil war. The
administration following the civil
war cut down the expenses so
per cent. and it would seem that
the great and increased expense
of the later conflict with Spain
might have been reduced by the
administration following it, which
was Mr.. Roosevelt's but was itr
No. Roosevelt's admir- istration
following the war with Spain
spent S235 900. 900 more than was
expended the four years preced-
ing during which that war was
brought on and concluded. But.
some one vsll say the country is
greater and more money is needed.
Very we'll. then. we will put it on
per capita basis: Under Cleve-
lands second administration from
from 1894-1887. the average per
capita appropriation for army,
navy and forti6cation was So 30.
Under Roosevelt's second admin
istration. 1905 1909. the average
per capita appropriation for the
same service is $3.50, two and one
fourth times as great as under
Cleveland. We use the names of
these great men simply as the
representatives of their respective
parties. The parties are to be
held responsible. for our govern
ment is a government by party.
In order to increase the military
establishments. in these times of
profound peace, there has been
appropriated 1928. 100000 more
than the probable receipts. How
long will a patient people stand
for this unreasonable extrava-

Although last night was a very bad
night for the people to get about up
on the streets, yet there was a goodly
number attended the services at the
Methodist Church. DR.. Wallace, pas
tor OF the Presbyterian Church,
preached a soul-inspiring sermon on a
text taken from Paul's Second Letter
to Timothy which reads: II have
fought a good fight, | have finished
my course, l have kept the faith. =
Said he, "if we shall ever be abs to
say what this apostle to the GENTLE
here says to his son in the gospel
when we come to stand at the end Of
life, it will be because we have that
same fxity of purpose, that same
sense Of our personal responsibility to
God and that same obedient faith that
this hero OF old possessed. No who
heard that sermon can fail to be
strengthened by its stirring message.
Mr.. Gather sang a very appropri-
ate solo entitled II am the Child Of a
King" Each evening there will be a
song and prayer service just proceed
