Secretary eaSn ana Ills aSSOcl-
ties are rejoicing over the turn in af-
fairs in their department. They have
a right to rejoice. The governments
Income at last begins to exceed its
outgo. For April thus far the receipts
have exceeded the expenditures about
$1,000 900. This reyerses the general
course Of things for a long while past.
In each Of the other nine months Of
the fiscal year expenditures were
ahead. In some of the months the ex-
penditures led by $12.OOO.OOO or more.
1t is evident now that the estimates
Of the shortage for the year which
ends on June 30 will ave to be modi-
fed. Two months ago the indications
pointed to a deficit of S130,OOO.OOO for
the wear. Then the fugure began TO
shrink. but the lowest point that it
reached was S1OO.OOO.OOO. There is a
fair probability that it may 90 below
that line now. At the end of March
the shortage was nearly SO.OOO,OO0.
If the exhibit thus far this month is
maintained to the end. it will be down
to SS7. 100000 by the beginning Of
MAY. usually the last two or three
months of a fiscal year are the most
favorable for the treasury. but the re-
cent setback altered the general
course Of things, and these months in
1908 showed large balances On the
wrong side.
What are the causes of the i'm
proved treasury outlook? A large in
crease In the importation of dutiable
goods is one of them. An increase IN
the consumption of the articles on
which internal taxes are levied is an
other. These reflect a revival in bust
ness confidence all over the country.
In most lines of goods the surplus Is
exhausted, and the improved demand
for them compels idle mills To reopen
and forces the mills which have been
running on half or three-quarter time
TO increase their output So far as can
be foreseen, the only barrier in the
way of a general revival IN industry is
the uncertainty as 20 the changes
which are to be made in the tariff
The conditions are basically solid Sci
dom have the number of trade fail
ures beer so small, proportionately, as
they have been for the past few
months. Money is plentiful and cheap
It seems safe to predict that the coun-
try's industries will be out Of the
Slough Of DespOnd before the end Of
1909.

john Townsley Wore Out Welcome at

When a man dislikes the proposition
of cutting lzindling in someone's cell

cold without money, bed, or board
then it is a matter that does not de-
Volve upon the Provident association
to rectify, as John TownsIey, aged 81
a resident of Marshalltown, Ia, found
out last night.
Townsley appealed to the associa-
ton couple of days ago and was
given lodging until yesterday when he
was sent to the residence of Mrs Bur-
nett. $40 Harrison street, there to earn
a stipend TO keep body and soul to-
gether, by whiting away for several
hours at the kindling wood in the
cellar.
About five minutes he worked Then
he concluded that he wasn't satisfied
with the job. He went upstairs, COM
planned that the cellar ceiling was so
low that he had difficulty in working
and refused to continue. Then he
went away.
At night Townsley returned to the
headquarters of the organization. He
didn't have any money, and the fact
that he had refused to work when
given the opportunity, was deemed his
testimony that he did not religiously
intend to do so If given chance. He
was turned away.

themselves, but that sometimes limit

HABITS CHAIN
Certain Habits Uncopsciously Formed
and Hard to Break.

An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power neces-
sary to break a lifelong habit would,
if it could be transformed, lift weight
of many tons.
1t Simetimes requires a higher de-
gree of heroism to break the chains
of a pernicious habit than to lead a
fcrlorn hope in a bloody battle. A
lady writes from an Indiana town:
From my earliest childhood I was
O lover of coffee. Before 1 was out of
