that if it is not a part of their con-
tract it may be expected but not right

be paid for by promptness to work
and a keen interest in the product

II is the jovial-spirited, active, in
terested workmen who maintain a
record for doing their best who make

AN UNPOPULAR PROPOSITION.

1t was not supposed that any state
in the union had lepers enough to
warrant the establishment Of a colony
but Massachusetts has such a COL
ony on Penikese island, and Texas
is under a law recently enacted by
her legislature, trying to have a col
ony founded.
The last Texas legislature appro-
priated $4,000 for the establishment of
leper hospital. the location of which
was to be selected by the state So
far no locality has been found that will
harbor the proposed institution. Tho
governor was authorized to appoint a
medical superintendent of the hospital
at salary of $4,000 a year. He can
find no physician who will accept the
post.
Boston paper, commenting upon
this says: The people Of Texas ap-
parently prefer to stick to the preva-
lent abominable custom of treating a
leper like an animal seized by foul
disease; denying him medical treat
ment and, by hook or by crook. ship
ping him to some other state, which
will try to repeat these tactics.
AS uncommon as this affection is,
it would seem as If a national sana-
torium would meet every requirement,
instead Of having colonies in every
state

THE FARMER AND THE ENUMER.
ATOR,

When 1t comes to asking questions
the American farmer will prove to be
an average match for the census
enumeration, and when 1t comes to an
sWering the array of questions fur
nished by the government, doubtless.
he will prove TO be as keen an APP
proximator as can be found on the
face of the earth. The farmer does
not have his affairs set down like the
grocer or manufacturer, but simply
has an 'fdee" of them in his mind
and while the government representa-
tive acts as if he. expected him TO
answer all questions accurately upon
his oath. 1t isn't probable it expects
him to be able to tell to the bushel
how much Of each crop he has rails
ed and what he has done with it; how
many acres he planted, how many
acres are in woodland or wild or used
for other purposes. or to tell how
many eggs. how many gallons of milk.
how many pounds of butter and hon
ey, how many fowls and how much
garden truck he raised and sold and
for what prices. Or to tell how much
he paid for farm labor, the amount
paid for feed for livestock, and fer
tilizers
Vow the merchant will show I'D flg-
ures that may be sworn to; but the
farmer viii have to make a guess and
an average and then show his willing
ness to swear to it, When ii comes
to results, the American farmer usu
ally beats the figures. for he is eau
tious when he is making estimates for
publication.

ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup Of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
Iaxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Steadily Increasing Debt.

Mr.. Editor: In looking over nv
books and papers the other day. /
came across an old government docu-
ment containing statistics which I
thought might be of interest to some
OF your readers, and perhaps a source
of information to some. This docu-
ment is Report on Real Estate
Mortgages in the United States at the
Eleventh Census: 1890" You will OBJ
serve this report was made nearly 20
years ago. There has been no census
of real estate mortgages taken since
that time and none is to be taken next
year (1910) as / am informed by the
chairman of the census committee of
the United States senate. So the fig
ures / quote are about 20 years old.
on page 300 I find Summary of
Results"
In its aggregate amount the mort
gage debt OF the United States. ex-
Guiding the debt Of quasi-public cor
porations, amounts to $6,019, 679 ,9S5.
This is 1857 per cent. OF the value Of
all taxed real estate and untaxed
mines. which amounts to s3s.11s.47s,-
0s4. by portion of which the mort
gage debt is secured" This mortgage

1T is the custom of some clergymen

forty-five years experience with

the minister is. He appreciates that
time is money to the business or the
professional man, obtains what he
goes after and takes his departure.

THE MAN BEHIND THE GUN.

II Is not the size or speed of fight
ing ships which tell but the quick
ness and accuracy of aim of the man
behind the gun. The reports that
come from the Atlantic fleeW now
engaged in open-sea target practice
off Cape Henry, is that the gun point
ers, the men who train the big guns
on the targets and do the firing. have
been achieving some amazing marks
manship.
Their aim has been so accurate that
the targets have been practically de-
stroyed. and there has been little or
nothing left to shoot at. Three Of
the targets have been sunk entirely.
and the others are in wrecked con-
dition.
At one of the Louisiana's targets a
record of 100 per cent. was made and
the high quality of the marksman-
ship on that vessel is shown by the
fact that it will be second in battle
practice.
The practice has been upon the open
sea with rolling ships and moving tar
gets and the results speak well for
the ability Of the men to calculate for
motion over a long range The re-
port shows that in actual service the
American gunner would make a rec
ord creditable to himself and his coun-
try.
