Mr.. Carneoie's Joke.

Andrew Carnegie" said a Plttsburg
millionaire, enjoys joke hugely.
One of his jokes made me laugh on my
last visit to Skibo Castle.
Mr.. Carnegie was entertaining at
the time Montenegran prince. The
morning after the princes arrival we
set out In a huge motor-car for a long
run, and as we whized past an inn a
great crowd of Highlanders rose from
the benches before the inn and saluted
us.
THE prince seemed amazed at the
Highland dress.
why, he asked, do these men go
bare-legged?'
at is a local custom, said Mr.. Car
pegie; "a mark of respect for you, sir.
IN some places people take OF their
hats to show honor to distinguished
visitors; here they take of their trou
sers.'"

derstand by this time that the pre-
dictions of panic emanate from inter-
ests which enjoy special privileges un-
der Republican rule. These interests
place their own prosperity above the
welfare of the country. They have
a good thing" to use the vernacular.
and they are determined to hold on to
the advantages which they posses by
throwing dust into the eyes of the
voters and making them blind to the
actual situation. They cry calamity
and shout disaster in the hope that they
may cover up their own tracks. II
these interests could have their way,
there would never be change in the
administration, however injurious the
latter might be to the nation, as long
as they are to prosper. They are will
ing, it appears, to produce a cond1-
ton bordering upon panic in order
that they may carry out their selfish
designs The time has come for the
American people to free themselves
from such tyranny, and they can do
this with the full assurance that the
business of the country will not be
interrupted if those who prosper by
special privileges are forced to sur
render advantages which are not en-
joyed by the masses Of the people.
There is an abundance of capital in
the United States to carry on it's in
dustries even if the panic-breeders
retire from business. No political
party has mortgage on the prosperity
of the nation"

murder Of one degree or another. Dur
| Ing the last year the number was aug
mented by 2l3, and this does not In
| clude the numerous cases where as
sault was made with deadly weapon
aud the assailant escaped. The Atlanta
Constitution sees In these figures a
powerful argument for rigid enforce
ment OF the law which forblds the
carrying OF concealed weapons. "Pls-
tol totlng' is very common In the
South, and the Constitution is convlnc-
ed, after investigating the police rec
ords of the State, that the great ma
Jorlty of murders Is due to the failure
of the authorities to break up the prac-
tlee. The lenlency with which officers
OF the law" says the Constitution,
seem to look upon the carrying OF
concealed weapons Is as dangerous to
society as would be policy which al
lowed the mentally unsound to roam
over the State at their own sweet Will

1t Is a fact that men Of even temper
and self-control seldom carry weapons

when a man Of that character gets Into

and II he does not commit murder 1t
Is sheer good luck. Recently tho at

was startling. The police found re-

Handicrafts for Farmers.

The editor of the Craftsman in the cur
rent number proposes that the federal
government aid in bringing about a much
needed reform in the industrial system of
the United States by extending the work
of the Department of Commerce so as
to assist small farmers in developing
home arts and crafts and assist them in
finding a market for the products of such
craftsmanship. The editor takes pains to
say that in this appeal for government
recognition of handierafts allied with ag-
riculture he is not considering the social
ed "arts and crafts" movement as it APP
peals to the leisure class. What he has
in mind is practically to encourage me
cbanical industries as a means of correct
ing the evils of the factory system, doing
away with the menace of the unemployed
and relieving the congestion in our cities.
He refers to the official encouragement of
such crafts in Hungary, and TO the re-
markable success resulting therefrom. He
believes that President Roosevelt has TAX
en- an important step in this direction by
his recommendation that both State and
national governments should encourage
the growth of institutional mad social
movements among farmers. 1t is not con-
templated that this development of hand
works in the home would ever take the
place of the machine, but that it would
open the door of opportunity to many in
dividusls starving for self-expression
apart from the routine of either farm
or factory. The principal field for homo
crafts would seem to be in producing
sensible rugs, furniture, pottery and any
of the things chat enter into the life Of
