w horsepower millionaires that
magnificently swell the population of
the capital of the country innocently
and indirectly make life burden to
their neighbors of less estate. Money
is an awful nuisance, don't you see,

The trouble of IL Is that ones
friends in the provinces ascribe even
to the lowliest in Washington some
occult power over the pursestrings of
the resident plutocrats.
One is always being besieged by the
INDECENT from the home districts to
work some graft in their behalf upon
the over-be-dollared denizens of the
District of Columbia.
They write to you seductively: you

Work Is to Uplift

DERHAPS the greater thing accom-
l plished by the labor union since
the first Labor day is the conversion
of millions of persons to trade union
principles. There is to-day less apathy
and more activity among unionists
than ever before. Perhaps the great
est thing accomplished is the in
creased morals of the whole body of
unionists; perhaps it is a knowledge
of increased power and responsibility.
The greatest economic thing accom-
plished has been the reduction of the
hours of labor to millions of persons,
enriohing and lengthening the life of
unionists and benefiting the whole
commanity.
The next step will be upon historic
lines, a closer solidarity of union with
union, increased wisdom in manage
ment, increased loyalty to principles,
increase in the revenue of the unions,
increase in membership, power, intel
ligence, sobriety and devotion.
They should strive, and will strive,

from the result Of his daring rescue
of an American woman from run

It's Wisdom Shown

THE growth of organized labor in the
l United States is shown by the
great increase in the membership of
the American Federation of Labor, the
most powerful body of wage-workers
in the country, If not in the world.
Organized labor is stronger in Ameri-
ca than ever before. The cry for the
open shop and the heated denuncia-
tons of the opponents of the boycott,
the closed shop and the sympathetic
strike is met on every hand by ex-
amples of the wisdom of collective bar.

The First Bareback Rider.

Riding on a broad pad strapped on a
horses back is very old; bareback
riding is comparatively new. II was
no longer ago than 1854. on the Fourth
of July, that T. b. Washburn's circus,
playing in Boston, was packed to suf-
location by the announcement, sent
broadcast, that on this particular day,
for the first time in the history of the
world. a man would ride three times
around the ring standing upright on
the bare back of a galloping horse!
The rider. Robert Almar. actually &C.
complished this feat, and also he car
led an American flag, which he waved

mendous enthusiasm. Contrast that
with the present. when there are
scores of riders who can turn somer
sault on horseback, A clever boy can
be taught in about three days to stand
up on a horse and ride around the
ring -Everybody's.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause
of disease and that Is why the cures
are always lasting. This remedy
strengthens and tones up the kidneys,
helping them to drive out of the body
the liquid poisons that cause backache
headache and distressing kidney and
urinary complaints. Bennington peo-
pie testify to permanent cures.
George W. Gregg, 113 Bradford place

weeks by kidney trouble. My kidneys
were disordered and caused pains
across the small of my back, that were
almost unbearable. | had given up

Like the Bank of England, the Bank
of France is now guarded every night
by soldiers. But within quite recent
time the officials at the French bank
resorted to a very novel method OF
protecting their bullion.
This consisted in engaging masons
to wall up the doors Of the vaults in
the cellar with hydraulic mortar as
soon as the money was deposited each
day In these receptacles. The water
was then turned on and kept rum
ming until the whole cellar was
flooded. A burglar would be obliged
to work In diving suit and break
down cement wall before he could
even begin to plumber the vaults.
When the bank officials arrived next
morning the water was drawn of, the
masonry torn down and the vaults
opened.
