SOME DAYS.

SOhE DA40.
Some days in very truth it seems
The games not worth the candle;
The dawn has lost her rosy beams
And sorrows spies mishandle
Poor slaves whose lot Is far from glad,
Whose ways are far from pleasant,
Because to them all life is sad
And grief is ever present.
Some days ambitions flame expires
In ashes-youre defeated;
Another thrall of duty tires,
The task but half completed.
Yet, while you stumble through the
dark,
All proffered help declining,
Beyond the vale of gloom and cark
The star of hope is shining!

From 1896 to 1908.

From the Kansas City Times (Rep.).
Twelve years ago Mark Hanna, traction
magnate, a typical representative of tho
corporation politician, managed the re-
publican campaign. Nobody thought of
protesting. On the contrary the party
was considered in great luck to be able
to induce such a man to take charge.
Today men suspected of any corporation
connections are being forced out of the

"A Plague on Both Your Houses
From the New York Herald.
The American people are disguised by
the unseemly exhibition of the President
of the United States and presidential
candidate quarrelling like angry fish
wives. Whether Governor Haskell of Ok
lahoma, the treasurer of the national CAM
paign committee, was or was not too
friendly to Standard Oil interests in his
state is matter to be decided upon the
evidence, but whatever may have been
his relations with that corporation they
afford no justification for an unseemly
partisan controversy involving the head
of the nation. Both the great po-
litica1 parties are confused by such an
unseemly spectacle. 1t is enough to make
Washington and Jefferson turn over in
their graves. The only redeeming feat
ure is the sentlemanlilxe reserve of Sec
rotary Taft. But there is some danger
that he may be finally dragged into the
squabble, in which case the public may
feel inclined to reject both Dronios.

Coopers Find Substitute Woods

A recent bulletin, issued by the
Forest Service, Gays:
The coopers OF the United States are
probably suffering more at the prrsen Mt
time for want of II supply OF timber
than the men Of any other wood-using
industry.
This condition is caused largely by
the great decrease in the supply of those
wnods considered ne cessary for rorpeI =
age stock, and tine lack of knowledge of
the merits Of such species of wood as
mi&ht possibly be used as substitutes.
A. few years ago, the cooperage man u
facturers of the Pacific obtained their
supply of timber from the cast, using
very largely the better cooperage woods,
such as white oak and elm. Recently,
these man ufacturers have been using
with reasonable success various species
OF wood native to their immediate sec.
ton. SItka spruce is now largely used
on the Pacific Coast for such slack
cooperage as flour, sugar, lime and
bottle barrels, and tight cooperage,
such as vinegar, pickle and cider barrels,
butter and cheese cooperage, buckets
and pals.
Recently wine barrels have been made
from Sitka spruce, these being coated
inside with high grade Of paraffine.
Douglas fir is also used to some extent.
Inferior grades Of slack cooperage, such
as salt and line barrels, are sometime
made Of white fir.

Beads are, perhaps, the Oldest kind
Of ornaments in all countries of the
world, and among savage races their
value as a form Of money is well
known.
The beauties of ancient Rome were
very much in favor of wearing amber
beads, amber having been introduced
after the expeditions Of the Romans
to Northern Europe.
Glass beads were first made by the
Egyptians, and the Phoenicians who
traded with Cornwall in far-off times
brought glass beads to the British
maidens, and when some OF the an
cient "barrows" were opened quanti-
ties Of glass beads were found as
fresh in coloring as the day they were
placed there with the corpse. says

tories at Murano should be omitted by

American Girls Wit Works Better

American girls, whose ideas of inde-

the French people, are bothered by
mashers whenever they attempt to go
about unescorted in Paris. No French
girl whose parents have a proper re-
gard for her is ever allowed to do such
thing, and the idea has become inn
planted in the native mind that any
young woman who appears alone is at
least unconventional.
II did not take a young and attrac.
tive American girl long to learn this
fact when she travelled around Paris
as she was accustomed to in New
York. All manner of men smirked at
her, lifted their hats, tried to act as
her escort and endeavored to begin
conversations.
But every one faded suddenly when
she gave him her anu-masher treat
ment, which worked better than a
strong right arm. To each she extend
ed her hand, palm up, with one Of
those minute bits of fractional cur
rency that they have over there bal
