plumbing and after few months of
use discover you've been handed a

The Origin Of Portugal.

About the year 1894 the name Of
Portugal appears in the annals. Al
fonso VII. of CASTLE in that year
signed over to Count Henry of Bur
gundy, who had left his native land
to help fight the threatening Moor, the
county of Portugal as fief. The name
Portugal comes directly from the
Latin, signifying the Port of Gale
Gale being the old name for the town
of Oporto The brief of Alfonso marks
the beginning of the separate existence
of Portugal. Though for many years
it was no more than feudal depend
ence of CASTLE, nevertheless this child
was the father of the later independent
kingdom. In the year 1888 the lords
of Portugal took the title of king and
refused allegiance TO any power, Mos
lem or Christian.-Rosary Magazine.

WHY CHILDREN ARE DECEPTIVE
Fear Of Punishment Frequently Leads
to uutruthfulness.

Untruthfulness In children some
times arises through the fault OF their
elders, who suggest to them untruths,
which children indorse from an innate
sense of politeness and a wish to be
agreeable. Don't you like so and sog''
says the elder, and the child agrees.
isn't this pretty?' comes later on, and
the child partly believes that IT is
pretty since the suggestion has been
made. the child's idea regarding the
article in question would have been
that 1t was extremely ugly. yet
more fruitful source of untruthfulness
lies in the fear OF punishment, and
this is particularly the case with chill
dren OF delicate body or OF nervous
temperament. Children who are gov
erned by love rather than by fear es-
cape this temptation to lie, but when
a child feels that punishment for a
fault or failing is inevitable. IL seems
such a little thing to cover the frailty
with lie, and yet the child who lacks
the moral courage to avow fault suf-
fers untold agonies of remorse for
every lapse from truth. Let children
be encouraged to own their faults, and
even the most nervous can be made to
do 1t, If sure that the confession takes
away the punishment, or reduces 1t to
such an extent that no bodily suffer
ing is entailed.-Illustrated Sunday

A KISSING Acquaintance.

AS Rev. Edward Everett Hale,
chaplain of the United States senate,
was walking along Boston street, in
company with friend, he was sud
denly accosted most Familiarity and af-
fectionately by woman who, without
further warning, proceeded to throw
her arms round his neck and kiss him
on both cheeks.
Then followed a brief conversation
gushing on the womans part,
guarded on DIR. Hale's, who confined
himself to discreet inquiries as to the
welfare of the woman's family; were
they well?-and living in the same
place?-and so forth.
Finally the woman tore herself
away, and the venerable divine turned
to his companion
Il should have been glad to intro
duce YOU but / did not know the

The Connecticut republicans re-

senators to the Chicago convention be-
cause they refused 10 90 Instructed for
Taft. Thus 1t is safe to say that the
Taft sentiment in that state Is over
whelming for the popular stateaman
when such a man of distinction as the
two senators are not permitted TO be
delegates TO the national convention.
II lis noticeable that West virginia's
senators were not selected as dele
gates on account OF them being oppos-
ed to the Taft sentiment. The time
has come when one or two men in
congress cannot longer dictate just
what their costituents must do. and
this Is matter for which the people
should be congratulated.

FOR SAFETY IN THE SCHOOLS
European Schemes Intended to Guard
Against Disaster.

How to guard against disaster In
schools in case of fire is a subject
which is receiving much attention in
the large cities of Europe. Some of
the preventive measures suggested by
correspondents of a Vienna paper
make interesting reading for Ameri-
cans One man writes that in one of
the small towns in Bohemia the
school sessions are held in two old
buildings which were once residences.
BY an iron door one may go from one
building to the other, and in case OF
fire in one house the children have
but to go to this door and find safety
in the building in which there is no
fire. This plan should be adopted,
he says, for all the city schools. They
usually stand among dwelling houses,
and from each there should be an ex-
it to the house next door That would
make the schools safe and prevent
panics." Another man writes that the
expense of placing new doors on the
schools to prevent a catastrophe
would cost too much. "All danger
could be obviated," he says, by leav-
ing the doors to the street wide open
while the schools are in session" No
correspondent suggested fire escapes.

filled with water heated to Tommy's

his contentment.

ton. If there is a difference between
the views of Mr. Swisher and Mr.,
Scheer on this vital issue, which effect
every taxpayer in this country. the
voters should know it. so that in
selecting delegates he can govern him

Tor the man who stands on the plat
form of tax reform no matter which
one 1t is. If articular candidate is
in favor of reducing the taxes on the
railroads. thus putting a heavier bur-
den on the farmers, that candidate
should not receive the delegates of
this country. The Courts Of this
state have decided time and again
that the assessment of the railroads
was not excessive, and any man who
will put his opinion up against tho
Courts must be marked. The writer
of this article is not favoring the can
didacy of any particular man for the
nomination for governor, but he does
earnestly urge the voters who will at
tend the mass convention to select
these seventeen delegates only after
careful consideration of the
different candidates, and a equitable
system of taxation should have the
support of these delegates in the state
convention. II makes little difference
TO the taxpayer who is governor so
that he is clean, honest, fair and oour-
ageous, giving thehumble taxpayer the
same careful consideration as the
large corporations. This kind of a
man should have our delegation. no

payer will see to it that if such one
is nominated he will receive a heavy
vote in this county Let us hope that
