ADVICE BROUGHT UP TO DATE.
Little Story Suggests Improvement on
Crocketts Words of Wisdom.

The other day a man travelling on
shore line train noticed, protruding
from an overhead rack, dress suit
case which he recognized as belonging
to friend. He knew that his friend
always got off at the station which
they had just passed, and as he was
not in the seat the conclusion was in
evitable that he had jumped on the
train and forgotten it.
The man called the conductor and
explained the case to him. After
some discussion and a mild protest
on the part Of the conductor that 1t
wasn't q part Of his duty, the suit
case was put OF at the next station,
with instructions to send it back on
the first train the other way.
The man. feeling that he had done
an able and friendly act, settled down
for the rest of his journey.
But not for long! The face Of his
friend-who had been in the smoker,
and who happened on that particular
afternoon, to be going to New London
to attend a dinner party-loomed be-
fore him.
The moral of this is, of course, quite
evident.
Be sure you're right, and then mind
your own business Life.

Cromwell was asked what should be

This was done, and when Charles II.
assembled the throne Of England, it was
at first forgotten to replace the cap by
something else, and then, too late, the
king was afraid to do anything to re-
call things dangerous to touch, and so

Love and Envy.

The highest love is ever quickest
to detect the failures and inconsis-
tencies Of the beloved. Just because
If its intensity it can be content with
nothing less than the best, because
the best means the blessedest, and
it longs that the object Of its thoughts
should be most blessed forever. 1t is
a mistake to think that green-eyed
jealousy is the quickest to detect the
spots on the sun, the freckles on the
face, and the marring discords in the
music of life; love is quicker, more
microscopic, more exacting that the
ideal should be achieved, Envy is con
tent to indicate the fault, and leave 1t
but love detects and waits and holds
it's peace until the fitting opportunity
arrives and then sets itself to remove
the defect-The Angelus.

THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1909.

The news from Washington that
President Taft intends to strive Tor the
credit of bringing the national expenses
down TO a minimum has about 1t the
odor of plausibilty, for it is known that
he has urged his cabinet officers to share
their estimates and to establish various
reforms in the interest of economy.
1t is a credit worth having. If Mr.
Taft succeeds in doing nothing else OF
importance during his term except put
ting our national affairs on business
basis and holding down expenses he Will
have made his administration one OF
achievement. The fast and loose ex-
travagance of recent years has been out
rageous. 1t has been hardship upon
the people. Actual deficits of the past
few wears and assured deficits for the
next few years are traceable to this
extravaganza.
And simply by placing the affairs OF
the government on plain sort OF busl-
ness OASIS lDe TelUl ulhtlOu VI tho p"eioh y
finances can he accomplished. Congress
seems to have no sense of restraint. Its
members appear to regard money as
possession unlimited and inexhaustible,
There is no coordination Of the depart
ments by which system can be EN-
ployed in accomplishing savings and
squaring accounts. All these things
ought to be revolutionized.
OF course, in hia program OF economy
President Taft cannot assert authority
over the matters strictly within the
keeping of congress itself. His orders
cover only the departments under his
control. In spite of his activities in his
own field, we may yet see congress
wasting money on useless appropriations.
A beginning is a beginning, however,
and the presidents endeavors are entitled
to praise. Besides the example may be
contagious.

COPPER TEMPERED AT LAST.

Through mistaking another compound
for borax, while working at his trade as
a ieweler, David Lamon, of Denver, has
suddenly found himself in possession of
the much sought after method of hard
ening copper. This powder, instead of
softenin2 the metal, as borax does, in
stantly changed the heated copper into
such a degree of firmness that manipu,
lation was impossible. Quick to take
the advantage that fortune had so I'M

at once made critical analysis of the
compound, determined the ingredients
and finally protected his wonderful se.
