The Root of AItruism.

The three eternal roots of altruistic energy are these: First, the principle of justice; that there is a moral law before which all men are equal, 50 that l ought to help my neighbor to his rights. Second, the principle of charity; that I owe infinite tenderness to any shape or kind of man. however unworthy or useless to the state Third, the principle of free will that | can really decide to help my neigh Dor, and am truly disgraced if do not do so. To this may be added the idea of definite judgment; that is. that the action will at some time ter. ribly matter to the helper and the helped C K. Chesterton.

COVERED WITH HIVES.
Child a Mass of Dreadful Sore. Itch.
 ing, Irritating Humor for Months
 little Sufferer in Terrible Plight.
Disease Cured by Cuticura.

My six year old daughter had the dreadful disease called hives for two months. She became affected by play ing with children who had it. By scratching she caused large sores which were irritating. Her body was a complete sore but it was worse on her arms and back. We employed a physician who left medicine but it did not help her and I tried several reme- dies but without avail Seeing the Cuticura Remedies advertised, I thought I would try them. I gave her a hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap and anointed her body with Cuticura Ointment. The first treatment re- lieved the itching and in a short time the disease disappeared. Mrs. George l..

ITEMS WORTHY
OF PERUSAL

What lot of things people hide
from each other
1t always amuses woman to see a
man fan himself.
DO you get yours in your stocking
or under your plate?
Did any person ever thoroughly
understand another?
! There is not a particle OF sense
back of great deal of hope.
We don't like people who are al
ways fussing about hard times.
No man would listen to you talk if
he didn't know it was his turn next.
Everybody seems to be doing pretty
we'll this year except W. j. Bryan.
About the only heirloom most
people know anything about is the
mortgage.
Men and women who have been
brought up as pets. are always dis
agreeable.
When a man exhausts every other
method of getting rid of thing, he
ratfies it off.
Women who want to marry should
keep the fact quiet; men hate a hus-
band hunter.
About the only satisfaction poorly
married women have is that they are
not old maids.
The small the woman, the larger
the hat she looks at when she goes
into a millinery store.
The woman who only powders, feels
mighty superior to the one who also
paints her cheeks.
woman who can make root beer
is as proud of it as a man who can
handle shotgun we'll.
1t has been decided that "sweII
people" is ungrammatical. 1t should
be "swelled," or swollen"
When the devil is finally caught,
we have strong suspicion that he
will turn out to be a man.
Just before Christmas, a woman
sits up late at night to make things
for her best man he won't wear.
A bald-headed man makes a good
deal better appearance than a man
with whole lot of bushy hair
We have remarked that when We
hear stranger heralded as "good
company" we are disappointed.
About the time a man reaches so,
he begins seeing insults in the papers
to the effect that he is an old man.
Usually, when mother prays for
help for a protiigate son, a son who
has worked hard answers her prayer.
There should be fewer warships
built in time of peace. and more
homes for old people neglected by
their kin.
Some mems Isystems of reform
closely resemble boys method of
driving cattle: to "holler" as loudly
as possible.
AS much pleasure as there is in be-
ing with old and tried friends there
is certain delight in meeting
strangers They are not familiar with
your jokes.
speaking of old fashioned things,
what has become of the old-fashiuned
barlow knife, which was given a boy
to keep him from screaming tor a
real knife?
If man is to late at night, it is
good protection to have woman
along. A woman has wayEof scream
ing that curdIes a highwaymau'
blood.
The man who goes to work-early
may think he is the early bird, but
before he Is half way through life,
and has met diappointments, he de
cides he is the worm.
We should think a preacher would
enjoy this glad holiday season: The
sisters he meets on the streets have
their hands so full of bundles that
he is relieved from shaking hands
with them. 49,.

astonished the explorers. One of the
most gigantic statutes loomed up on

have been carved many centuries ago
judging by the erosion of the ele-

by repudiating his pledges and the
platform of the Republican party?
"1s 1t possible that Senator Aldrich
said to the President, Nov just let
me get this bill into conference, and
then we can get the lowest rates of
the two houses and thereby fulfill
your pledges?" Is it possible that in
almost the same breath he then said
to the high protection Senators,
Now just let me get this bill into
conference, boys, and l will get
Speaker Cannon to pack the Confer.
ence Committee so that we will get
the Senate rates, and, the report be-
ing agreed to by the conferees on the
part of the Senate and the House, the
President will be compelled to sign
the bill?
"The scheme failed because Mr.
Payne and the President stood like
honest and brave men for the re-
demption of the pledges OF the Re-
publican party.
Though this scheme failed, II ex-
hibits 'Cannonism' in its highest and
most perfect development.
II challenge you to cite in all our
POLITICAL history more dishonorable
and disputable piece Of business un-
less, percnance, you cite something
in your own cal eer of which the
people are not yet advised"
This Is generally regarded the most
drastic and most argumentative at
tack ever made on public officials, in
this country, by responsible authority.
The question is will Cannon or AID
rich answer, and, If they do, what
will they say? The facts are as clear
as crystal and as undisputed as the
sun. Everybody who knows enough
to pound sand knows the allegations
of Fowler to be true. The manner in
which those old scoundrels, Cannon
and Aldrich, tried to revise upward
instead OF downward, the tariff is as
well known as that this is A. D. 1909,
and that they tried to reverse and
discredit President Taft Is also we'll
known. No amount of lying will do
any good now. The Republican party
must meet the issue. 1t must be eth
er Liberal and Progressive or Re-
dictionary and Bourbon. Which shan
1T be?
