Life.SavinQ Work.

ITe.odvIn0 "OTks
The stars in their courses condemn
the idle woman. The qdiet forces of
nature reproach almost as severely
the woman who voluntarily overworks,.
and thus makes herself hindrance
instead of help in the busy world.
The keenest impression left by Prof.
Palmer's noble biography of his wife,
Alice Freeman Palmer, is that Of her
wonderful skill in adapting her work
to her strength, and in finding
strength for all important work, says
the Youths Companion. She always
scoffed at the idea of Saving herself"
She saw clearly that woman's vigor
is not like cistern, containing so
much water, but rather like a spring,
flowing for human need, and to be
guarded at it's source, not at its mouth.
Says Prof. Palmer: III there is any
one lesson which Mrs. Palmer's life
prominently teaches, it is the life-pre-
serving influence of persistent, severe
and judiciously managed labor" She
experienced every sort of demand
which may be made on woman, ex-
cept, perhaps, that of monotonous toll
at some long-continued drudgery. Even
that, one can fancy, she would have
irradiated by her Joy in every human
relation. In her varied and exacting
life she steadily built up her physical
strength. Her power of physical en-.
durance, not great in girlhood, in
creased as her judgment ripened.
"She believed continuous work to be
conducive to health, and proved it SO
by practice" her husband testifies.
She died of an acute disease, which
could not have been foreseen or pre-
vented, but her too short life is glo-
rious witness to the value of a sound
mind in a sound body.

days of the sessions nearly every legis
lator had panacea for the country's
financial ills. The more the members
studied the question the less they
seemed to understand it and in the

The rush Of bills kept up all winter,
branches of congress being 1925.
The house members introduced 22,035
and the senators 7,180. A great many
OF these measures were private pen
sion bills, only a small percentage of
which finally became laws. During the
first session of the Fifty-ninth con-
gress, which continued five weeks
longer than the recent session, 9,51S
bills were introduced in the house and
$3.50 in the senate.
All previous records were broken by
the senate in the amount of executive
business which was transacted Thir-
ty-four treaties were ratified and made
public, most of them arbitration
treaties. The Congressional Record
will disclose that fewer speeches we're
made than in times gone by owing to
the fact that John Sharp Williams in

George r. Sheldon, treasurer of the
Republican National committee, whose
trust interests are we'll known, was
compelled, under fire, to withdraw
from the New York state ticket in the
fall Of 1902 when he was eager to
accept the office of Lieutenant-Goyer-
nor. His connections with the trusts
and especially those owned and donf-
mated by ]. Pierpont Morgan and other
favored trusts, became such an issue
at that time that Governor b. B. Odell
fought against his. name being placed
on the ticket. Odell even went 80
far as to wire Timothy Woodruff that
he would not run on the same state
ticket with Sheldon. United States
Senator Thomas G. Plat was deter
mined to have Sheldon on the ticket
and informed the Republican leaders
at the state convention at Saratoga
that Sheldon's name would remain on
the slate. The wires between the con-
vention city and Albany were kept
hot and, finally, Governor odell was
compelled to take a train for Saratoga

The by Plan.

The registration of Ely greatly ex-
ceeds the number allowed by law in q
precinct and, it being too late for the
commissioners to establish new pre-
cincts, it has been decided to have two
polling places in the same precinct.
All voters whose names begin with A.
and down toL,will vote ct the original
polling place and those from L down
will vote at the new one If such a
scheme could be worked here, it would
greatly facilitate the count. A count
of the names in the Ellzo list shows 373
voters whose names begin with A and
down to and including 81 and 262
whose names begin with the remaining
letters of the alphabet.
Now if the commissioners can estab-
lish another polling place, say at Leon
ard orMizaph Hall and appoint another
set of Inspectors and clerks; all the
voters can be easily accommodated
and the count viii be completed III

issued. He reports the bullion output
of the state for the first two quarters at

amounting to $45, 519.65 was paid. Mr..
Haley says in his report that 'rNot more

far as I was able to learn, had any
knowledge of the existence of the
Bullion Tax Law, with the result that

counties have suffered" If this is true.
