Mans Love for Home.

The average man would care for his
home above all other places on earth,
if he got half a chance. It's in him
to do tits in the most restless and
migratory of his sort. No matter how
he roams about he likes to know he
has a home to go to, and his fond
ness for staying in it is in exact pro-
portion-or so ] believe-to the de-
gree in which that home approaches
the ideal. Not in outward show
most men car surprisingly little about
that-but in the qualities which make
it a place happily different from the
best club or bachelors hall which ever
existed.-Grace s. Richmond, With
Juliet in England"

His Rat Trap.

Omaha has a youngster who is an
amateur electrician, and who has a
very ingenious way of killing rats.
The prying rodent is caught in an or
binary trap, the bottom of which is
covered with tin. The Omaha boy
has a small dynamo of his own manu-
facture and one wire connecting with
the dynamo is fastened to the tin lin
ing of the trap and another is thrust
into the prisoners cell. The we'll
known propensity of a Gagged rat to
do battle asserts itself, and he seizes
the wire between his teeth. In so do
ing he makes the mistake of his life.
The circuit is complete, his jaws close
on the wire with a death grip, and
without a squeak, and almost without
a culver, he passes into a state where
he will bother mankind no more.

Latest Fad Of the smoker.

The latest fad of the cigarette smok.
ker, according to a large manufactur.
er, is to vary the strength of the ciga.
rette with the season. In the winter
he says that the smoker now demands
a much heavier article than he does
for the summer. Somehow, the manu-.
facturer declares, the cigarette smoker
has found that he can not smoke any.
where near s. strong a cigarette in
the summer as in the colder months,

THE STORY.

cd EGONE! Thinkest thou that the
- king hath time for such as ys?"
and as he spoke the gate keeper thrust
back the two women who sought en-
trance to the palace. With a look of
pain and disappointment they skunk
back into the shadow of the gateway,
and watched with ~envious eyes the
groups of people passing to and fro
through the gate. Their garb pro-
claimed them as belonging to the
poorer class, and the certain condi-
tons of dress and bearing indicated
plainly their character and the uues
tionable manner of their life, and had
not the gate keeper been busy with
the constant stream of people passing
in and out of the palace grounds
he might have been curious to
know what could have brought them
thither. And while they made no fur
Their attempt to enter, they fingered
near, offering striking contrast to the
important-looking officials who found
such ready entrance to the palace.
1t was during the early part of
King Solomon's reign that our story
opens, and king and leaders from all
over the land were busy effecting that
organization which later became the
marvel of nations far and neal. With
clever foresight he picked leaders from
all over the realm and gave into their
hands the administration of the king
dom, so that no place was so distant
but that it felt the impress and slim
illus of the energetic young king. Once
a year these leaders and the other Of
ficers of the kingdom assembled at
Jerusalem to report to the king, and
it was at such a time as this that
these two women had appeared at the
palace pleading that they might see
the king.
The rough words and treatment Of
the gatekeeper caught the notice of
one of the officials as he was enter
ing, and he paused after passing with
in the gateway to look back and OBJ
serve the women who had thus been
SO harshly repulsed. Something in
the expression on the face Of one Of
the women aroused his curiosity and
he retraced his steps to her side and
inquired of her what she desired.
Scarcely had she begun to speak
when the other broke in with her
story and he soon saw that it was
some sort Of a controversy between the
two over the little babe which one
woman carried upon her bosom. and

CONCERNING UNCLE JOE"

Last week one of the ablest and best liked Republican members of congress, J. Adam Bede, of the Eighth Minnesota district, was defeated for renomination by members of his own party because he declared himself un- flinchingly in favor of the reelection as speaker of Joe Cannon. This seems to be a fair indication of Republican sentiment concerning the czar of the lower house of congress. Golfers Weekly, which so far as it has any policy, Is certainly friendly to the Re publican party, denounces Cannon un- reservedly, and last week printed communication in which 1t was said that If Taft and Sherman were elected the long arm of the speaker would reach from the house end of the capi- tol to the senate and make the puppet sherman do the bidding of the auto crat in the speakers chair.
 President Roosevelt, in 1891, said of Cannon: we cannot escape from the fact that 1t was no credit to the Re publican party of the house that MT. Cannon of Illinois should be one of it's leaders," Cannon then was tenn porarily out of office, the only time he has been out of office in thirty five years. Among all the prominent Republicans there is none upon whom the country looks with so much hesi- tancy and doubt His face Is. always set against any measure for the good of the people. his power Is invariably exerted for those measures that are demanded by the great interests. Whether as a result of this attitude or not, the fact remains that after thirty-fve years of officeholding, with only a moderate salary most of the time, Uncle Joe" has grown rich, his wealth increasing as bis power in- creased. He is emphatically an issue in this campaign-not merely an issue between the Democratic and Repub- lIcan parties. but between the decent and patriotic element and the corrupt element which he has so long domi- nated.

 boats Gone.
 New York, Sept. 26.-Grave fears are entertained for the safety of Cap tain Thorsen of the Norwegian bark Fox of Arondale and his crew of ff- teen men. The Australian steamer Argentina, which docked here early today, reports having passed the half submerged wreck of the Fox in lat- tude 41.09, longitude 66.22. The little bark was listed to port and half the masts were broken off.
 Captain Cherubin of the Argentina sent his mate and three men aboard the wrecked bark to investigate. There was no sign of life on the crippled vessel, and all the lifeboats were gone except one small boat in the stern and one in the bow.
 It was evident why the crew had left the Fox, for there was big hole fin the port side aft just above the wa ter line. This was presumably caused by a collision. The bulkheads were all carried away on the same side. Captain Cherubin thought it possible that if the bark was in collision with another vessel the crew of the Fox might have been taken aboard the oth- CT vessel. No reports have reached here from any vessel that there was a collision. It may be that disaster which sent one vessel to the bottom took place.
