MAID FOUND A FEW THINGS
AS a Result, Brooklyn Woman Came
Home to Make a Few Remarks
to Hubby.

Irving Berlin, the author of my
Wife's Gone to the Country" said at
a recent dinner in New York.
"A true happening was the inspira-
ton of this song.
. Tn July a Brooklyn woman set out
for Ocean Grove, and on her arrival
discovered that her watch, a small af.
fair, was missing. She thought it
had probably dropped on the thick,
soft dining-room rug, so she wired to
the maid at home:
"Let me know if you find anything
on rug in dining-room.'
"a few days later she got from
the maid a letter saying:
Dear Madam: | was to let you
know if | found anything on the din
ing-room rug. This is what l found
this morning: Three champagne corks,
is cigar butts, five cigarette ends, four
blue chips, SO burnt matches and one
pink satin slipper"

Taking Care Of Yourself.

There never was a time when peo-
pie paid as much attention to their
health and strength as they do now.
Time was when fine stock and fine
horses were fed more carefully than
human beings.
The result of properly balanced ra-
tons has worked wonders with stock
and recent experiments are proving
that the same thing is true of man
kind.
1t has been found that Quaker Oats
eaten often and regularly taking the
place of heavy, greasy foods will work
wonders in the health and strength Of
a family.
School children fed frequently on
Quaker Oats thrive physically and are
always capable of the best work at
school. For athletes, %laborers, it is
the best food. One of the attractive
features of Quaker Oats is the perfect
way it is packed. Besides the regular
size package there is the large size
family package. 10

New Law PaIpabIY a Fraud.

The fact that tariff schedules, with
their intricate classifications, are like
a, Chinese puzzle to the uninitiated
points its own moral, The Aldrich-
Taft law, even more than its prede-
cessor, is honey-combed with trickery
and tariff "jokers."
That is why average western intel
ligence refuses technical explanations
of the virtues Of the Aldrich-Taft law.
The fact that 1t increases the cost of
living Is enough.
And the wave of general tariff re-
form sentiment has grown in volume
and power by the passage of the new
law. Instead of meeting the country's
demands, the Aldrich-Ta law has
merely intensified the latter through
its palpable frauds.

CHRISTMAS REUNION
HOW TO MAKE THE HOLIDAY
PARTIES MOST ENJOYABLE.
A Number of Games That Will Prove
Pleasing for Both Old and
Young at the Yuletide
Season.
BY Mary Dawson.

The wealth of new games is so great
OF late years that the entertainer is
apt to overlook the splendid old
games, many of which have never
been surpassed, if, indeed, we can
equal them. Old favorites are special
ly good for Christmas reunion gather
ings because in most cases they re-
quire no advance preparation and are
easily grasped by the few to whom
they are unfamiliar.
One such sport is that called "act-
ing adjectives." To play it one mem
Der of the company leaves the room,
and each person remaining agrees
upon a certain adjective, which he or
she will act out when called on to do
SO. When the retiring player is re-
called he asks someone In the group
a question. This player must then an
swer in a way which will illustrate
the adjective assigned to him. Thus,
a player who has taken the word
noisy will bawl his reply, and at the
same time contrive to let a book fall
to the floor with a loud clap.
The man or girl representing "taci.
turn" must reply in as few words as
possible, and so forth. AS soon as the
guesser has OWNED one Of the con.
cealed words he takes a chair in the
circle, while the person whose adjec.
tive he guessed withdraws from the
room.
Magic music" makes a lively mum.
Der in the program, played in this
way. One person is chosen to hide
the coin or ring. All the rest with.
draw, with the exception of the per,
son who will play the piano. The per
son holding the ring then hides it, &C
quainting the musician with its where
abouts, and the company is read
mitted.
The players now arrange themselves
in a row, each n with his hands or
the shoulders of the person in from
of him. One player, the leader, head
ing the procession. When the music
starts the line of boys and girls goes
off in search of the ring, guided il
this by the music. This, of course
plays loud and cheerily as the objecr
is approached, slow and dolefully
when the procession is headed in the
wrong direction, and f~aintest wher
they are furthest from the prize.
Thought transference'' is not pre-
cisely a game of contest, but there arr
few better ways to interest a party O.
guests, and whatever the psychologist
explanation of the phenomenon, i
never fails to create amusement. TX
arrange it the person to be subject
is sent out of the room. Two players
are appointed to transfer the thought
and these decide upon what simple
stunt the player will be required tt
perform. Thus, he may be required

ISSUE MADE PLAIN
PEOPLE DEMAND RELIEF FROM
UBIQUITOUS TAXATION.
Tariff Issue, Claimed "SettIed" by
Speaker Cannon, VIII Be Main
Question in Coming Congress
sional Elections.

Next years congressional elections,
SO far as the west and middle west are
concerned, will turn on a simple, we'll
defined issue.
The real battle-ground will be In
hose states that have sent represen-
;atives of American consumers to
Washington had been spurned. The
insurgents will lead the battle for
an American ideal,
Republican party whips are being
welded in a vain effort to bring these
cecalcitrants into line. The "insur-
gents are not afraid of new party
alignments. They welcome them, If
necessary, in a battle for principles.
Republicanism and Democracy, as
interpreted by the wielders of party
whips, will be swallowed up in the
new alignment of the forces of a
ton and progress. Voters will heed
principles rather than party labels.
And they stand ready, throughout the
west and middle west, to teach east
ern mill bosses the lesson of their
lives.
Democracy's opportunity lies in pre-
senting clean candidates to the people.
It these candidates number "insur-
gent Republicans among their sup
porters, it will be one of the fortunes
Of war. American consumers must
get a hearing, and it is immaterial
which party may claim the represen-
.atives they choose to get it.
Thus the tariff issue, so far from
being settled" as Speaker Cannon
and others claim, is really in the in
fancy of its true vitality.
1t is the one overshadowlng issue
that bids fir to make ducks and
brakes Of party organizations. 1t will
scourge the apostles of special priv
llege. 1t will put them on the defen-
sive, where they belong.
There is nothing sacred in party
machinery after it has ceased to be
an agency for the dissemination of
party principles.
And the party that forgets what it
was created for-to represent the peo-
ple-courts inevitable doom.

rHE ROAD TO CHRISTMAS
In Retrospect Grandfather Pictures
Yuletide Journeys Of Many
Years Ago.

All the year long we have been
travelling toward Christmas-I and my
ola wife, our children and our grand
~children-not all by the same road,
not all with the same expectations,
but all looking out alike for the first
glimpse OF its smoke rising above the
wintry landscape Of the year. Now
we can almost fancy that we hear
the Ginning Of the famous bells-all
Christmas towns are famous for their
bells-and we know that we shall soon
be at our inn.

year a stage upon the road, / do not
know where else a sensible man would
stop for the recruiting of his health
than the fine old Christmas towns.

IS APPROACHING ITS DOOM
Special Privilege to Be Done Away
With in Abolition of Trust-owned
Senate.

High-tariff a~pologists affect some
thing like scorn at the manifest rest
lessness of the American west under
the rule of eastern mill bosses.
They are never weary of pointing
with pride to the inflexible senate ma.
jorfty. They tell us that even if the
west should elect a Democratic house
OF representatives, it will be a barren
victory. For they own the senate.
1t must be with something of a
shock that these "stand-patters" find
that two-thirds of the sovereign states
have passed resolutions calling for a
constitutional convention to change
the method of electing United States
senators.
Also that the constitution gives no
option to congress in the matter, but
makes the constitutional convention
mandatory when enough states have
joined it.
The old order Of a trust-owned sen
ate Is perilously neal the supreme
jolt that will put national law-making
power back into the hands of the peo-
pie.
The change will not come in a day,
nor in a year. Special privilege will
not descend from it's throne without
a prolonged fight. But it is reassur
ing to know that the people are storm
ing the citadel of trust power at
Washington.
The times and the seasons are pro
pitious for a change. A Democratic
Louse of representatives next year
may still find a stone wall erected by
the American house of lords. But the
fact that the people want a change
will be demonstrated.
And it will serve notice to the upper
house that the supreme font Of au-
thority-the people-are getting ready
TO make the senate itself a responsible
body.
Thus the mills of justice grind on,
and special privilege approaches its
doom.

President Taft's Failure.

Had the president taken the posi-
ton from the first that the party
pledge must be carried out or he
would veto the bill, he would either
have gotten what he wanted or cast
the burden of blame on the trust sena-
tors and congressman. He stood back
and allowed the well-represented in
terests in the two houses to frame a
measure Numerically opposed to his
and the party pledge, and then did not
have backbone enough to veto it and
save his W as well al the party's
reputation. He has missed his oppor-
tunity, and failed as a man and presi-
dent.-Flandreau Is. d. Herald.

he means apple, it is like an essay by
Emerson liquefied with the music of
Massenet and spiced with the cyni-
cism of Shaw; if he near pumpkin,
it is like some of Gounod's music
heard in a landscape all sun and flow
ers. 1t is too early yet to describe
the mince pies of 1909, but last years
and last year was not an extraor-
binary good year-were like an in
creas In salary, and a present from
home arriving on the day when ones
conscience was behaving itself.-Bos-

MTaft SnileW NAV Not Last.

President Taft's hope was that, with
the passage of the Payne-Aldrich bill,
tariff agitation would quiet down, and
the country would devote its attention
to other things. He is likely to find
that the failure of congress to pass
the kind of a law the people expected
had made the agitation more intense,
the debate more acrid than ever.
There will be no "quieting" of agita-
ton until the tariff question is set
tied right by real, thoroughgoing
downward revision. There is danger
that "the Taft smile will be eclipsed
by many a cloud of w~ell-founded anx-
iety.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.
