WORDS AND DOORS.

And she went OUT and slammed the
door"
Does that sentence not sound very
famiar to you? Cannot you picture
the argument that preceded the actloh'
the indignant way she threw back her
head and the look of utter disgust
and contempt she directed toward neT
opponent in the scrap before she
went out? The very catching of the
latch as the door flew shut must nave
indi- ated the thoughts in hef heart
WHY do people slam doors? Is it be-
no other way, or is it because they
wish to make as defiant as possible
their retreat? Whatever. the reason
their method of procedure is very i'll
advised. Why not make the retreat
calmly and in good order, thus leaving
the second person in the quarrel to
M ditate upon self control? Really,
this is quite worth trying; it is al
most worth while to go somewhere
and pick a quarrel so you may know
how great your advantage is when
you rise quietly, open the door as
though you were keeping an important
engagement, and then step slowly out,
closing the door behind you as
though the opponent vote some sleep
ing creature whom you fear to disturb.
This will leave you, no matter what
the argument may have been, the
master of the situation. You let the
opportunity for the last word pass you
by and you closed the door silently
upon your erring friend. You may
have been a generous foe or only a
cleva' one, but in either case the con-
troversy was quietly ended
The slamming of the door in anger
is not the only kind that must be re-
membered under today's title. There
is also the slamming of the heavy
shop door. We all know the unspeak-
ably rude man or woman who walks
through the swinging door with never
q thought of those walking behind.
Neither does this particular selfish
one tltn when the door bangs upon
some unfortunate. 1t would hardly
seem necessary that I should have to
speak of a matter that every one
should know so well, yea there are
still many who do not realize what the
consequence may be as a result of
their thOughtlessness. a man should
always hold door open for a woman,
even though she be a total stranger,
while a woman should always hold the
door until whoever is back of her
steps forward and relieves her of the
weight. If it is brutal for a IMAM to
let heavy door swing upon a wom-
an. it is no less rude for wornan to
slam it upon a man. N

NAL is to the effect that before his

Dotb's Ferry house by the back way.
Several other reports concerning In
gersolrs alleged recantation, published
by religious and Sunday school papers
during the last decade, are alleged to

about voltaire, Paire and other Free
thinkers. 1t is also stated that an al
most Identical afioavit to the one
signed by Berry was once circulated
by Ethan Aller. the Tirurdaroga Ter,

Another recent story, accredited to a
famous evangelist who is now tour
ing the west, alleges that Ingersoll's
son committed suicide, but it is invali-
dated by the fact that the agnostic
had no son.
In attempt to put an end to these
deathbed recantation fables, Mrs. In
gersoll, her sister, Mrs. Sue NJ. Far
rell, and Susan Sharkey, another men,
Der of the family, prepared an affi-
davit setting for the facts regard
ing Colonel Ingersolrs passing. 1t is
as follows:
ION November IS, 1896, while on a
lecture trip, at GAINESVILLE, is, Col
onel Ingersoll had a cerebral hemor-
rhage He continued to lecture for a
few days, but at the solicitation of his
family went to Chicago and consulted
DR.. Frank Billings, who advised him
to return home and rest for two
months, which he did. He then, jan
uary "a, 1897, resumed lecturing,
which he continued up to the time of
his death. It was at this time, early
in 1897, that he developed angina pee
toris, from which he suffered greatly
and which was the cause of his death.
Since his death we have learned that
he knew exactly his condition. In 9TH
er words, his physicians told him that
he was likely to di': at any moment,
but acceding to his earnest entreaties
they did not tell his family. In spite
of the fact that death was ever be-
side him he was always very cheer
full, and when asked as to his health
invariably replied, All right During
the night Of July 20, 1899, he had an
attack of acute indigestion and slept
very little; but he came to breakfast
the next morning and afterwards sat
on the piazza, as he was wont to do,
reading and talking with his family.
At about ten-thirty he said he would
lie down and rest a little, and would

CLEVELAND A POLITICIAN
More Astute Even than David Bennett
 Hill.

 From the Louisville Courier Journal.
 MT. Cleveland was both overpraised and overabused. He was an upriyh man and sturdy official He made many mistakes, b-t they emanated lar gely from self confidence aud lack of knowledge. He tried to do his duty. If his early life as a man about town in Buffalo needed atone;nent, his later life as the head of family amply made it. His sins, in case the ortcroppings of a robst manhood can be called sins, were venial. The stories told to his dis credit were as false as they were brutal. MT. Cleveland was the most solicitors of husbands and fathers. It was his na- ture to be kind to women and children. The notion that he was simple minded and disdisengenuors ..as politician, however, is wide of the mark.
 Always self-reliant, too positive as to his conclusions, he was singIlarly sub tic in his mental processes where he h1ew tho field of endsavor, accurate in his measurements, and cany in his meth ods. David Bennett Hill was regarded as the boss politician of his time:but in the higher arts of the trade, he could not hold a candle to Grover Cleveland.

CELIA MONSTERS INCREASING
Moro Frequently Seen in the Mojave Desert-Their Strength and
 Characteristics.

"Naturalists who recently visited the Mojave desert in Arizona claim that there has been an increase in the number of Gi.a monsters in that region" says Dr. A. B. Cedron of Prescott, Ariz., says the Washington Star.
 "These lizards are of great interest to naturalists, for, in spite of inves' tigations, authorities still differ as to whether the bite of Gila monster is fatally poisonous. I have had several instances come under my observation where men have been bitten by Gila monsters, but none ever died. In the case of Gila monster biting a guinea pig, however, the poison was fatal in a few minutes after the guinea pig had been bitten. The natives of the south west, particularly then Indians of Mex leo, sincerely believe that the bite of a Gila is fatal to a human being, and the lizard is held in much awe by them.
 "It is likely, however, that this fear is occasioned largely by the re. pulsive appearance of the reptile. The head is very prominent, comprising about one.fifth of the total length ot the body, and, like the back, is thickly covered with yellow and black tinted tubercles. Its skin is very tough, aud although the bons of the tail are fragile this part of the reptile is very strong, it being possible for the monster to raise itself and balance the body on the tip of the tail, thus enabling It to climb rocks and steep aseents. There is no doubt that the teeth lead to glands containing poison. It is very slow in its movements, but it is not timid like other reptiles. If one attempts to strike the gila with stick it will grasp the weapon in it's jaws like doG does, and when angered it emits its breath in succession of quick gasps. It is supposed that the breath of the Gila has a -drug-like effect on insects, and as 1t can be detected at a consider able distance, it is believed that this is the way it catches its food. v

TESTING THE PRESIDENT
Mr. Taft's Methods As Shown in His
 Tariff Attitude.

From the Toronto Globe.
 The new tariff measure now before congress will test the mettle of the new president. As 1t now stands that mea- sure is grossly unjust in its fundamental conception, expressively burdsnsome to the great masses of the people, and on tho face of 1t, is an almost unrelieved surrender to the few highly protected interests of the country. Nothing could be a moro cold blooded repudia- tion and denial of the prediction prom iscs of the president than is the senate tariff bill. Ths Mckinley tariff made heavy the peoples burdens; this adds to those burdens. The Dingley tariff chastised the people with whips; this new tariff would chastise them with scorpions.
 What will President Taft do with it7 He has power as executive of the Amer ican republic, more autocratic than be- longs to any ruler or statesman under responsible government. Certain it is he will not play the spectacular part

played by his predecessor. Perhaps nctf ing less or nothing else than Mir. Roosevelt's elamorous public appeal would have sufiiced for the situation as 1t tten stood. The corrupt interests were so intrenehed that nothing but the fury of public indignation would be effective. MT. Roosevelt could play that part and he played it to the limit. Even those who objected to his methods are coming to see-soms of them at least that there was not much ctoice of wea- pons in the desperate struggle of honor ard horfesty against the colossal evils that had debauched great public insti. tutiors and bade fair to destroy the na- tion. Roosevelt took his own line, but the thing needing to be done might not lave yield d to any b.t his rough-and- ready methods.

When the baby learns that ho can have soma things and other things he cannot have, he will be jIst as content as when he has learned that he can have everything he cries for.

BOSS BABY OR BABY WILL BOSS
 YOu

Every wo=,an knows that the surest and quickest way of making her best woman friend her worst enemy is to tell that friend how to take care of her baby. Young mothers, as every grand mother will tell you, are especially sen sitive upon this subject.
 AS this editorial attempts to give mothers sorne advice upon the subject of baby training, it may as well be ad- mitted that 1t is written by an uncer- tain hand, guided to the task only by the desperate courage of deep seated conviction. Women readers who dis agree with these utterances may bs able to forgive on the ground that there are exceptions to the rule of bad moth CTS (and of course they are the excep- tions), and anyway the editor is man wio only thinks he knows.
 The average young mother through her great and natural love for her baby, perimts it to play the tyrant over her. It is babe full of health and spirit and it proposes to boss the house hold. It does. It knows what 1t wants and 1t cries, and beats its arms and scratches mother's face and pulls her hair until it gets what 1t wants. When it gets what 1t wants. 1t wants more, and there is more yelling. more beating, scratching and pulling. Babies know that day is the time to sleep and night the time to play abroad Instinctively they arc aware of the fact that 1t is much better to be carried than to walk, and to be jiggied beats sitting still.
 Young mothers take tho cares ea- tailed by haby's willfulness lightly for time. In the foolish idea that they arc doing their duty" they consent to pick the ball up from the floor sixty times minute for baby to throw down again. And if the little dear is going to cry like that he'll get the other half of the banana which, of course, he shouldn't have at all. And tAese slave
