TWO GREAT THINGS IN LIFE.
Doing Real Work We'll, and Love, Says
 This Writer.

On this gloomy day, beginning with . troublous morning spirit of content grows upon me. Perhaps it is because rescued those half-burned notes, but somehow it comes to me with renewed force that two of the great things fin life are real work-that is worth the doing-and love. To this add opti- mism, reasonable and eager hope, and you have certainly the ingredients for happiness. There is spirit of wor- ship in work, recognized by the monks long ago in their proverb, Work is prayer" The same spirit exists in true love. that impels us to high ideals, and calls out the best, the truest, the noblest sentiments we possess. We needs must love the highest when we see it." Real joy and happiness often exist in the weariness of toll, and in striving to live up to an ideal and bs worthy of love. There Is no great mys- tery in this, for real troubles have their part in life, yet after all, a great many of them are mere phantoms, that vanish as the sunlight dispels the gloom.-Joe Mitchell Chapple in Ma tfonal Magazine

FL PASO. June 1G.-"Cioudcroft will lose none of its prestige and tn. public will not be deprived of sum mer resort which has afforded 50 much pleasure and comfort in the past" said A. N. Brown, general freight and passenger agent of the Southwestern.
 "The results of the recent fire which consumed the lodge are not so serious as many think" continued MT. Brown, "as the capacity for en terta'ning guests has been reduced only about 40 or 50 persons, and there are still accommodations for from S5 to 100 so far as sleeping .s concerned, and there are eating IA cil.ties for all who may go there. There are a large number of cot tages owned by the railroad company and these will be placed at the dik posal of the visitors.
 Sunday excursions will be cor tinued as if there had been no frs and to show the faith the compan, has in the resort, the military band will be taken up next Saturday. Whatever additional accommodations which may be needed will be proyid ed, and the reputation of Cloudcror' as a summer resort will be main tained."

 Mir Brun says he has the old kitch- en and dining room in operation in perfect shape and that he can feed and house all the people who come to the place. All amusements are there, just as they always were, and the only drawback Is that the social center has been burned
 Mr. Brun shipped large quan;i ty of stuff. He sent up tables, lin en, crockery and other articles iron the St. Regis. He says he could ac commodate 150 people tonight, necessary. and that by Sunday h can take care of 200. He has jus. overhauled all the cottages and saye they are cery comfortable.

Especial to Review,l

WASHINGTON, June 16.--~Grant- ing that foreign goods have no labor cost whatever. 26 per cent is the maxi mux schedule to protect the American workman in the cotton manufacturing industry, because 26 per cent repre- sents the labor cDst in America of cot ton mill products. And if the labor cost abroad is one-han the labor cost in the United States, the rate required to prevent the foreign manufacturer from having the advantage fin cheaper labor would be 26 per cent, the American cost. less 13 per cent. the European cost, or a net rate of 13 per cent.
 Yet the average per cent of tariff rate fixed by the senate bill on cotton products is 47.14 per cent"
 In these words Senator Owen of Oklahoma gave specific illustration of how the cotton goods schedule failed to make good the promises of President Taft and the republican platform. which were that the tariff would be revised on the basis of equal ization of cost of production here and abroad.
 Senator Owens speech is one of the most important that has been made during the session, because he proves the absurdity of the Aldrich claim that it is impossible to determine the labor cost of manufactures. In contrast to the assertion of Senator Aldrich that a report of Carroll D. Wright, Commis sioner of Labor, gave the relative la. bor cost in 446 individual cases.
 Applying Wright's figures. the Okla homan took up schedule after sched ule of the Aldrich-Payne bill, and showed that its framers had utterly ignored Republican prediction prom ises.
 Tn the manufacture of glass ware in the United States the labor cost is 36 per cent" said Senator Owen The total labor cost in Europe, if i, were half as much, would leave the net difference in labor cost only IS per cent, while the senate bill places 4S per cent tariff on glassware.
 The total labor cost in the manu facture of metals in the United States is 20 per cent. Accepting the state ment of the chairman of the commit tee on finance that the labor cost ir Europe is only half as much, the diff ference in labor cost for which the protection might be required would not exceed 10 per cent, but the pro
