As Dirty as Possible.

Hundreds Of young women are being
trained all over the country for charity
workers. Philanthropy is now recog-
nized as a profession, for which one
needs special education as truly as
for teaching. One Of the first lessons
warm-hearted woman needs in deaf
ing with poverty is to distinguish dirt
from misery. To one accustomed to
clean surroundings, the filth In which
many poor people live seems intolera-
BILE. 1t would entail absolute wretched-
ness on the visitor. But, in point of
fact, the families who live embedded
In dirt usually do 80 because it does
not offend them. The poor woman
whose senses are tortured by bad
odors and foul sights manages that her
rooms shall be clean, no matter how
bare they may be, or how empty her
cupboard and coal-bin. The friendly
visitor who thinks that tidiness is a
sure sign Of comfort and dirty disorder
an equally sure sign Of extreme want
will make serious mistakes in her dis
pensing of gifts. Said poor woman
to sympathetic and experienced Wis
itor, THANK you, miss, for praising
my clean room and giving me the coal
order in the same breath. You aren't {
like most of the rich folks, who think
II you're too dirty to touch with ten.
foot pole you must be, poor, and
there's no end to what they'll give
you; but If you're clean and decent
no matter what it costs you-you're
lucky people, who want nothing from
anybody" Intelligent philanthropy
looks below the surface, says the
Youths Companion, and discovers that
real suffering may have a clean face
and real comfort dirty one. The
helpful friend is sympathetic without
being sentimental, and knows how to
seek out the pain which hides itself,
and how to ignore the plea of those
who try to appear as dirty and misera-
BILE as possible.

The laws of some states require that
savings banks shall advertise the
names of depositors to whose accounts
no additions have been made during a
specified time, usually 20 years. Many
of these dormant accounts are never
claimed Deposftors forget. or die In
testGte, or simply drop out of sight.
The same thing happens in other coun-
thries. Thus in 1859 the Panama
Canal company Of France made an
issue Of bonds having par value Of
400 francs. Although they bear no in
terest, several hundred bonds are re.
deemed each year at a premium. One
would suppose that the bond.holders
would watch for those premiums; yet
the company's current statement
shows that nearly 800 of the bonds
drawn previous to 1905 have never
been presented for payment, although
two of them are entitled to premiums
OF 100000 francs, and none Is worth
less than a thousand francs. Making
all allowances for accidents that de-
stroy bonds, bank-books and the own
ers, 1t seems that many persons who
are wise enough to save money are
unwisely Indifferent as to what be-
comes OF their savings.

Good and healthy girls are almost
always cheerful. No novelist would
consider his youthful heroine complete
If ringing laugh" were omitted from
the list of her charms; and in real life
the girls who do not laugh now and
then are seldom trusted o.3 liked by
their companions. Even beauty will
not save them. A belle who fails to
understand the jests of her admirers,
and smiles in amiable bewilderment
while other people are laughing, is
soon left with no consolation save to
wonder what anybody can see in her
rival-a girl with "up-turned" nose,
perhaps, and large mouth and
freckles. but the happy possessor of a
pair Of merry eyes and cheerful dis
position. The gift of gayety, says the
New York Weekly, is indeed of great
value; but 1t must be gayety which
originates in kind and CHEEKY heart,
not that which is born of mere ex.
citement or gratifed vanity.

The Waterloo Conrier in speak ing
OF the Allison victories throughout
the state says the voters are not
aroused AS they were two years ago.
That is very true The republicans of
Iowa are aroused in a different way
this year. They are aroused because a
man who has violated sacred promises
still has the brazen effrontery to come
before the people as candidate for
the seat Of Senator Allison in the
United States senate; they are aroused
because followers of this candidate
have circulated false reports regard.
ing the health of the veteran senator !;
they are aroused because numbers of
statehonse politicians have gone into

yiolated the rules Of iecency Co aid

Cummins followers threaten to hoot
Judge Birdsal If he comes into the
Third district to speak for Allison
and they are aroused because of the
depleted condition of the state
treasury. Iowa republicans are arous-
ed to sense of duty this year and the
results of county conventions show il.
