those who live on the sunny side of the street. These shadowed ones are sometimes called pessimists; sometimes people of melancholy tenn 'perament; somtimes they are called disagreeable people: but wherever they go, their characteristic Is this: their shadow always travels on before them. These disagreeable never bear their own burdens. They are so busy looking down for pitfalls and sharp stones and thorns on which to step that they do not even know that there are any stars in the sky. These folks live ont he wrong side of the street.
 And yet it is only twenty feet across to the other sidewalks, where sun shine always lies.

SUCCESS MUST
 BE EARNED

Young men, don't be pessimistic. Get into the fight and do mans part. There never were so many oppor- tunities as there are to-day. You hear a heap of fool talk about there being no chances for young men to- day. The trusts" have invaded and Ipreempted every field of endeavor is the cry on every hand Nothing is further from the truth. The trusts, so-called. have barely touched the re- sources that lie waiting for some one to develop. Better chances forty years ago? Nonsense. Believe in yourself Have something definite to do and do it. That's all there is to success in life. Too many young men
 want success before they have earned
 it. They become discouraged before
 they have tried half tried. That's why the shores of life are strewn
 with wreckage. It is my belief that
 business in this country will always be conducted along cooperative lines. IThe old days of dog eat dog are over. But why should that cause uneasi- mess? Just look at this vast country; think of the millions of acres that lie
 arid and waste in the West. The min- ling resources of this country are at Ipresent the richest in the world, but men who know tell us that the future
 will develop mineral wealth that will make the present look small and |pitiful. Don't let the trust" buga!boo lscare you. believe that man |should have decided his vocation in life and settled down to it in dead learnest by the time he is thirty years !of age.

Some registers are direct reading hut require that the dial reading be multiplied by constant in order to obtain the true reading. If the regis ter face bears the words multiply by 1-2," multiply by 2" etc.. the act ual reading should be divided by 2 in the first case or double in the sec ond, and similarly for other constants.
 Sixth. Substract from the present reading the reading of the last month. multiply the difference In hlowatt hours by the rate per kilowatt hour you are paying and you have the amount of your bill in dollars and lcents.

HOW TO READ
 AN ELECTRIC METER

Of all the mechanical arrangements ever introduced in the home the re couddng wattmeter Is the most mys- tifying. Although this little device decides on the amount of the month fly electric light bill its ways are so dark and mysterious that the ordi- nary layman cannot even read 1t, let alone tell how 1t works.
 After all it's is a very simple device, consisting essentially of a tiny motor which actuates the dial pointers by means of a train of gear. The mo- tor is in the circuit with the lamps and revolves at speed proportionate with the current being used. If only one lamp is turned on the motor re- wolves very slowly, increasing with every additional lamp. Or if a nalfllfber of lamps are used and one is turned off the motor diminishes in speed and will continue to do so for every lamp that is extinguished.
 The reading of a meter is as simple as it's construction and any user of electric current can read his own meter and check the electric light bills by following a few simple direc- tions. Electricity is measured by the kilowatt, being equal to one thousand watts.
 First. Note carefully the unit i'll which the dials read. On all meters made by the General Electric Com pany, the figures above or below the dials indicate the value of one con- plete revolution of the pointer, there fore one division indicates one-tenth of the amount above or below.
 Second. Note direction of rotation of dial pointers. Counting from the right the pointers of the first, third and fifth dials of the General Elec- tric Company's meters rotate in the direction of the hands of watch whereas the pointers of the second and fourth dials move in the opposite direction.
 Third. Read dials from right to left, setting down figures as read.
 Fourth. Always read the figures or each dial which has been last passed or is just covered by the pointer.
 Note carefully. Each dial reading depends on the reading of the one next to it on the right. Unless tho one before 1t has completed revolu' ton or passed to the 0. the pointer which Is being read has not completed the division upon which 1t may ap. pear to rest. and still indicates thu figure Last passed over.

c'sos SPpoHoT's' .
 Grand Forks, \. D., Sept. 2.-Ac. companied by Governor John Burke and large reception committee from t~and Forks, William J. Bryan, Dem- ocratic candidate for president, arriv. cd here from Fargo. where he was ac- corded an enthusiastic reception and delivered speech on the Issues of the campaign. The greeting he received at this place was no less encouru ging.
 On the way out from Fargo the train made many stops, which afforded an opportunity for the candidate to shake hands with hundreds of people. At Hillsboro an immense crowd gathered, and Mir. Bryan made a ten minute speech. After praislng the adminis- tration of Governor Burke he Gepounc- ed the Republican party for Its failure, as he said, to specifically meet in its platform the several issues of the cam paign. In his own case, he said, he stood on hls party's platform. but 'in MT. Taft's case the platform docs not suit him, and he has been busy amend. ing it ever since the Chicago conven. ton adjourned. When you get through reading the Republican platform you cannot for the life of you tell what will be done by the candidates on that platform if elected"
 Mir. Bryan expounded again his views on the guaranteeing of bank de- posits and charged that MT. Taft ''goes out of his way to predict dire disaster if that proposition should become ef- fectiye"

BARS POLYCAMISTS
 FROM UNITED STATES
They Cannot Be Admitted,
 Rules Secretary Straus.

Washington, Sept. D. Secretary Straus approved the action of the To- s2l immigration officials at Boston in the so called Mormon cases, wherein a number of immigrants were held up on the allegation of entering the coun- try in violation of law. Secretary Straus said that the two cases of ex. clusion out of the number acted upon were on the ground as to one of ad- mission of belief in polygamy and as to the other of physical and other req sons. A number of other cases have been held up for further investigation.
 Lively interest has been taken in these cases on account of the question of Mormonism, but Secretary Straus said that the decision in all of them was wholly regardless of the question of Mormon religion, that the question of polygamy was one specifically pro- vided for by law and that his action in the matter followed the plain provi- sions of the statutes.

 tient's Recovery Not Assured.
 Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 2.-Prog- ress in the investigation of the shoot ing of Charles Boyle Roberts was lim- ited to efforts made by Detective Har- ry Wilson to apply clews obtained in Baltimore to circumstances surround ing the case here.
 Concealment Is no longer made of the fact that Wilson was confronted in Baltimore and Philadelphia with conditions that suggest the employ ment of money and influence to hush up the investigation. Wilson denies emphatically that he was approach ed' in any manner. but he says he could not throw of the impression that as he worked he was being killed by kindness" Instead of meeting with difficulty in establishing an alibi for w. S. G. Williams, husband of the so- ciety matron who was riding in the roller chair with Roberts when the lat ter was shot, Wilson found awaiting him afiidavits which told of Williams presence in Baltimore at the time of the shooting.
 Recovery Not Vet Certain. -
 Mir. Roberts continues to improve slightly, but the physicians in the City hospital defer positive announcement that his recovery is assured.
 Chief of Police Woodruff denied pos itively repetition of the rumor that a warrant had been issued in the case. He declared that the evidence thus far secured was insufficient to call fer an arrest. In fact, nothing directly con- meeting any person with the shooting has been obtained thus far. An am plified statement made by Rabbi Hen ry Fisher, which contains an account of three men and woman, whom Fisher says he saw on the boardwalk a few minutes before the shooting, has not been seriously considered by the police.
 Members of the police force were willing to discuss the highway rob bery theory practically for the first time. since the night of the occurrence. They say there is possibility of robber having attempted to hold up the pair in the rolling chair and of having lost his head and fired when Roberts, who is said to be of power full physique. jumped out of the vehi- cle and when the negro pushing the chair went running down the board walk for help.
 The fact that nothing was stolen has been the mainstay of the police in dis. carding the robbery idea. Mrs. VII liams' statement as to the resistance which Roberts proposed to offer may have had something to do with the of the authorities to dis cuss, although they do not admit the theory of an attempted holdup.
 Public interest in the case here is decidedly on the wane.

Thousand Persons See Six Women and

Ihousaho fersonS See SIX women and
 Man Drown.
 Deer Isle, Me-, Sept. 2.-Six women and man, all summer resorters here, lost their lives when thirty-five foot sloop was thrown on Its beam ends by sudden squall in Penobscot bay. Three men succeeded in climbing into the dingey that was being lowed by the Sloop, but they were almost overcome from exhaustion in battling against the growing seas when picked up by a fishing tug.
 The disaster was witnessed on the shore by about 1000 persons from ho- tels and cottages. A dozen sloops put out to the rescue, but the wreck had floated a quarter of a mile to leeward before they reached it. By that time the fishing tug had the rescued men ashore and two bodies had been re- covered.
 Captain Samuel Haskell. skipper of the sloop. was one of those who saved themselves by reaching the dingey Haskell had reputation as one of the most skillful yachtsmen on Deer Isle. He sailed with Captain Charlie Barr when the Reliance successfully defend cd the America's cup, and this was his first accident in many summers.

SAYS JAIL IS NO
 PLACE FOR THAW.
DemNaIIzes the institution, De+
 eIarss Official

Albany, N. r.. Sept. 2.-A protest is made in report submitted to the stats commission of prisons by Secretary George Mclaughlin against the fur. ther confinement in the Dutchess csun- N jail at Poughkeepsie of Harry K. Tha*, acquitted on the charge of mur- der, on the ground of insanity. MT. McLaughlin's report is on aa inspection he made on Aug. 24 last. The report says, among other things, that Thaw's presence in the jail "demoralizes the discipline of the institution"
 After calling attention to the pres ence of Thaw in the jail the report says in part:
 'The jail Is not the proper place for the confinement of q lunatic. While at times public interests may require that the sheriff shall take charge of an alleged lunatic for day or two, until he can be transferred to an asylum, the detention of lunatic in a common jail for months cannot be approved. His presence here demoralizes the disci. pliAe of the institution. He sleeps in the corridor, not in the cell. He has all the fixtures and paraphernalia of a business office. He orders his food from the hotel which has to be drought to him three times day. Silly people send him bouquets of flowers. He is allowed the use of | whole corridor, constituting one-quar- ter of the entire principal Jail for men, while the other prisoners are crowded, two in cell frequently. All these things are under the observation of the other prisoners and create dissatisfac. tion, a belief that men with money con- stitute separate class even in prison"
