The MoraIizing Bee.

From Judge.
 l have pointed out to my people the false wax combs we flll-how the apiarian plants field of turing buckwheat within easy distance of the hive, that we are thereby hoodwinked into working over time; and the net results to the bee--he gets barely enough to sustain him through the winter, and that only by courtesy of the man who owns the hives.
 The bee line is line of crass stupidity It leads straight to work, and straight home again. It has nothing whatever to do with the curve of beauty and less with rounds of pleasure.
 The honey bee, although held up as a shining light, has some grave faults that it might be well to rectify. The worst of these is<his contented willingness to live in rented properties, called hives, for which he pays too dear a price He all lows himself to- be lured thereto by the simple cunning of the property owner who beats upon a tin pan and shouts This way to our beautiful. furnished cot tagesl All modern Improvements. such as paraffine combs, clean new cells, fire proof constructions; handy to rose garden and clover fields.

This information must be ar answer to those who imagine that the Himalayahs are not sufficient protec- tion to the border country of India

sued to the engineer of your train and means what 1t says.
 There is an ash pan under the boiler of his machine which when open strews embers along the roadbed. The sign is a standing order and means that his en- zine is approaching a wooden bridge.
 It Is a warning to the engineer. He must shut off the ash pan else the live coals set fire to the timbers of the bridge.
 The sign would make a mighty good motto for some people, including pres ent company.
 For instance.
 There is strained situation between two people. of whom you are one. The situation Is comparable to the engineer s approach to the wooden bridge. At such time be very careful of your words. Words are like live coals. They are like ly to start a fire. The fire may flame up into a passion, a quarrel, a clash. In judicious expressions may set the bridge on fire.

 Or there Is a little trouble. trivial thing. between husband and wife. One of them forgets about the approach to the bridge and drops fiery word. There is a retort in kind. The fire flames up.

HEART TO HEART TALKS
By EDWIN A. ME Copyright, 1909, Fly American Press Association

1 average American audiences is able to sing all the stanzas of America
 A newspaper tells of a patriotic Sun l day school superintendene who was sur 1 prised to discover that the national hymn was not in the book used by his school.
 Whereupon the superintendent asked | the children to sing the hymn rom memory They got through the hrst I stanza and then faltered. And the auults who were present were unable to give l them much assistance
 The incident is typicahone. 1 Now
 l Do you suppose any company of Ger mans would fail to sing every line Of 1 Die Yacht am Rhne?. l Or can you fancy any popular audience of the French people that would fail to remember the words of "The Marseil- 1 lalse?"
 Or a gathering of Englishmen that
 would sing one stanza of God Save the l King and forget the rest of it? There are abundant reasons why we
 should be the most patriotic people on
 earth. And perhaps we are, but we are a little short in our expression of l patriotism.
 There are two ways by which we-the
 people-may best express our sentiments display of the flag and songs. 1 Of course it is possible to be patriotic l without knowing or singing the words l of our national songs. It also is possible to be patriotic with i out the use of the flag. l But
 The dearest traditions of the republic
 are wrapped in the folds of the flag. By
 some mystery of the mind a symbol 1 comes to stand for a sentiment, an ob- | ject lesson for an idea. The greater the ! sentiment or idea the greater the sym | bol. Therefore the great symbol of the flag as an expression of patriotism. 1 And so of the songs
 Not only the words, but the tunes also | are forever welded to patriotic memo
 ries. They symbolize in the minds and l hearts of the masses of the people glori- l ous heroisms and achievements.
 The flag should be raised over every l schoohouse in the land. And the na-
 tional songs should be taught in every 1 nnhlic school.

sNEEZE ENDS HIS TRANCE
Boy Unconscious For Ten Days Is
 Strangely Revived.

From the New York Herald.
 | Soon after returning to his home, after taking part in basketball game at Storrs, Conn.,, about ten days ago, Will bert Healy, 1T years old, of 107 Broad street, Bloomfield, N. J.. became uncon- scious, and until Friday lay in a death like trance.
 MT. and Mrs Elbridge N. Healy, the boys parents. summoned specialists to determine the nature of the boys afflic- tion but no adequate explanation was ad- vanced, and nothing was done to change the patients condition. He was kept alive with liquid food, which was forced between his clenched teeth, and little hope of his recovery was entertained.
 While a nurse was busy about the room in which the boy lay Friday she was startled by a violent sneeze, and she turned to find that Healy had awakened from his trance. He is now improving, and, according to the physicians, will recover. The physicians believe that when he sneezed, clot, due to an injury received in the basketball game, was dis lodged from his brain. It is thought that the nurse. in arranging sofa cushion raised little dust that caused the sneeze

STOMACH AGONY
Abolish the Cause, and Misery and Dis tress of Indigestion Will Be a
 ThInu of the Past

Can indigestion be cured? Hundreds of thousands of people who suffer from belching of gas; billiousness, sour stom- ach, fulness, nausea. shortness of breath bad taste in mouth, foul breath, nervous ness and other distressing symptoms, are asking themselves that question daily
 And if these same doubting dyspep- tics could only read the thousands oi sincere letters from people who once suf- fered as badly as they do now. but who have been quickly and permanently cured by the use of Mi-o-na, the mighty dyspepsia remedy that cures by remov- ing the cause they would go to Norton's drug store this very day and get a large box of Mi-o-na tablets, and start them selves on the right road to health at once
 The price of Mi-o-na tablets is only x cents, and Norton's drug store guarantees them to cure indigestion or money back

INDICTMENT OF
 THE PUBL IC SCHOOL

Samuel P. Orth, in the March Atlantic.
 First, the pupil does not get real knowl- edge. He studies about things. in an in- definite sort of way but never learns the solid facts. The whole system, from the happy kindergarten to the mimic college high school, is permeated with the haze of indefiniteness
 Secondly, We are told that the pupil does not even learn to use his mind. The school is an enslaver of memory instead of an emancipator of reasoning. Orig inality is tabooed and servility is de- manded. The curse of the lawyer the search for precedent, is written on the brow of pedagogy. Logic and reason are not encouraged.
 And thirdly, the results of our schools are not practical. This is heard on every hand. The schools do not fit for bread and-butter earning. They rather make a boy or girl unfit for the hard tasks of life.
 A fourth count in the indictment is Sometimes added by the moralist, who claims. that the moral traits of the child are hardly awakened, and that the boys and girls. especially those who break the ranks before the eighth grade is reached. are entirely unfit to meet the severe demands that the temptations of life make upon them.

Read This to Your Son.

IN 15 years Frank A. Vanderlip
 climbed up from farmers boy to \ the presidency of the largest bank in the United states-the National City bank of New York City.
 How did he get up?
 Let us see.
 Vanderlip was born on a farm near Aurora, III He was graduated in the common schools and went into a machine shop. Later he attended college, pay ing his expenses by working in the same machine shop.
 He went to Chicago and began report ing on a daily newspaper. From the be- ginning it was noted that he was accu- rate, steady and painstaking. He never deceived his city editor nor the people whom he interviewed.
 Very soon 1t became known that Van- derlip was an exceedingly well-informed reporter. Instead of shaking dice or playing the races or trying to get into society he read books on finance and economies
 Vanderlip was known in the office as a shark on finances and markets.
 He was made financial reporter for his daily and La Sale street had to buy that paper to get the financial news. He continued to study and read. Thrown into contact with leading men, he learned much.
 It was known in tho offices and trust companies and banks that VandeTlip could be trusted.
 Finally he became the associate editor of the Chicago Economist All this time Lyman J. Gage kept an eye on Wander lip. When the latter was made secre- tary of the treasury he took the young editor along as private secretary A few months later the secretary was pro- noted to assistant treasurer.
 Vanderlip resigned in 1901 to become third vice-president of the bank of which he has just been made president.
 Just 15 years ago he was reporter.
 How did he get up?
 Not by brilliancy. Not by social prom thence. Not by political pull.
 Vanderlip was plodder. While others slept he toiled. He was accurate in his knowledge, careful of his habits, persis- tent in his pursuit of things.
 He was a plodder, and he chose the right path.
 Other reporters had the same or a bet ter chance, but they did not choose the right path. Their paths led to fun or self satisfaction, or social prominence, to the saloon and the gambling dive.
 Vanderlip chose the right path and plodded right along.
 There is no other way, young man.

Give the Devil His Due.

l A lot of mean things have been writ 1 ten about John D. Rockefeller. Doubt less many of them are true. 1 But
 If they really keep books up in heaven after the manner of men, the sage O Pocantico Hills has no doubt, like the l rest of us, some entries on the credit side of the ledger.
 Specific mention of the benefactions of the head of Standard Oil to Chicago university and otherwhere is not in tended.
 has moldered back to the soil that wraps his body this thing will be held in re- membranee of him:
 He founded the Rockefeller institute.
 And what Is this institute?
 1t is a place, an opportunity and a sup port for scientific men who can spend their lives looking for the causes of hu- man disease.
 These men delve into the experimental sciences day after day, year after year. Their salaries are paid and they have no outside worries. And they work on regardless of results. They are not work ing for themselves or for Rockefeller. They are working for the human race, and they have life time to work in.
 IHd0kS lO lile Ddlu-HtduSQ lIOlOpOliSl
 Think of what these institute workers may dol They may discover the anti toxin that will cure cancer or a greater specific for tuberculosis than tuberculin or the cure for some other of the horri- ble affiictions of humanity. They may save the lives of countless infants. They may prolong life to double it's present span.
 Can you conceive a greater wotK. save it may be the cure of mems souls?
 But some may say, Why proIong hu- man life save 1t? Were not Ricardo and the old political economists right in saying that war and peslilence are blessings in disguise because they carry Noff the surplus population?
 No!
 We have fallen on better times--hu- maner times. This Is the age of hos pitals and homes for the friendless and fallen. The law of brotherhood has taken the place of the law of the survi- val of the fittest We help not the fit test, but the weakest and rightly.
 That Is why the Rockefeller institute is one of the greatest benefactions of the age.
 It may be that, economically consid- cred, Rockefeller is only giving back cents to the people from whom he has taken dollars. Nevertheless
 Let us give even MT. Rockefeller his due.

They Did Not Steal Enouoh.

The other day band of Ute Indians stopped the driver of wagon and took enough flour to keep their families from starving.
 Eheu!
 How quickly the soldiers got after Lo, the poor Indiani How they chased him over the cactus pastures to make an American holiday! What lot of exer- else our soldiery got from the chase. to say nothing of the opportunity to get pot shot at the fleeing aborigines.
 You see, the trouble was. the Utes were not Incorporated for purposes of high finance.
 They had no patent with big seal on it permitting them to steal after the manner of the statutes made and pro- vded.
 They had neglected in the haste of their hunger to organize a trust tha0 would evade the sherman law-and the soldiers.
 That is where the noble red man missed out
 He should have aimed higher Instead of stealing a few sacks of four he might have organized corner in breadstuffs and taken over the output of all the big Touring mills In the country.
 Or
 He might have organized a trust and by manipulating legislation taken prof. it's by special privilege.
 He could easily secure able lawyers, and these high browed attorneys would direct the making of convenient laws. Either by the making or the interpreting of the laws the lawyers would enable him to exploit the whole people, white and red by means of monopoly.
 If brought to book for his transgres- sion he could easily hire more lawyers.
 By hiring more lawyers the Ute could escape the soldiers.
 Unfortunately the guileless wards of the nation had neither a corner on flour nor articles of incorporation nor law yers.
 But the chief culpability of this band of Utes consisted in the fact that the Indians took only what Twas necessary to keep their squaws and papooses alive for a few days.
 Think of the heinous offense of these decadent braves! They stole only a few sacks of flour and turned the bal ance and the wagon and the horses back to the driver.
 Every trust magnate in this land of the more or less free and brave must smile in pity at the crude methods of the Utes.
 Such bunglers in the fine art of lar ceny richly deserve to be chased and shot down by the soldiery!

Sauce for the Gander.

This tale of two contractors of Des Moines, Ia, serves to point to a noral
 One took the contract to build the new government building on the river front The other contracted to erect a Milan arch bridge across the river at the same point
 The federal building contractor be- lieved in paying the highest wages. He gave the men who did the common rough labor $2.25 per day, winter and summer
 The bridge contractor proceeded on the theory that dollar saved in labor is dollar made by the contractor. Be- cause he could not get them for less he paid common laborers $1.75 per day dur ing the summer.
 When winter came, however, taking advantage of the labor market and the laborers necessities, he forced the com mon workmen to take 90 cents to s1 per day. The postoffice contractor continued to pay his men $2.25 per day.
 Now
 The postoffice contractor was given three years in which to complete his con- tract. He says he will finish the big building year ahead of time.
 On the other hand
 The bridge contractor has had all kinds of trouble Owing to the carelessness of his workmen, his false work was swept out by the floods. Once an entire com pleted arch fell He has been sued for personal injuries sustained by his em- ployes.
 It is said the postoffce contractor will make a fine profit on his job. The bridge contractor has lost money.
 Asked why he paid higher than the market price for labor, the postoffice contractor said: When you pay man good wages for his labor you, get the best that is in him. If you sGueeze him down to the lowest notch he Will do the least work possible, and he will desert you at the first good chance. My men stay with me, and the work goes on steady"
 That's it.
 When you pay for the best you get the best.
 With rare exceptions men will always respond to fair treatment. With rare ex- captions men will always resent a nig- gardly management.
 We hear much nowadays concerning the proper conduct of employees. They are told that they should do just a little bit more than they are paid for doing. But
 What about paying employees just a little bit more than they earn?
 In both instances fairness pays
 "Do not watch the clock" say the monitors. Work zealously for the inter ests of your employer"
 Which Is all right.
 But 1t should also be said to the em- ployer: Give the best wages to your employees. Treat them fairly It pays"
