An Epistolary Hint.

In the letter from Boston was q

she wants can be sent in an ordinary
letter. 1t won't need to be sent spe-

That stamp" said the man. ''ts q
delicate hint to be quick about answer
ing. 1t is a hurry-up device used by
many men. II is very effective. A two

Speciality Of Blind Physician.

There Is at least one physician In
New York who manages to do excel
lent work and maintain himself well
without the use Of his eyes. He In
totally blind.
He has chosen for his speciality dis
eases of the chest, into which of course
the best eyes in the world couldn't
see. One of the c0mpensations of IA
ture has given him unusually acute
hearing, which Ia especially valuable
in his practice. His ears can find out
more about the lungs of his patients
than those of most seeing men.

If congress hopes to convice the
country of it's honest purposes in re-
vising the tariff it will make some
special provision for revenues, such Is
the imposition of an income tax or q
stamp on commercial paper.
But it is said that the income tax
amendment, which has been prepared
on the republican side by Senator
Cummins, will be opposed by the re-
dictionaries on the ground that it will
create q surplus. This objection
would be wholly disiDgenuous, for the
right way to prevent q surplus, after
providing for ample revenues through
equitable taxation, is to take off the
import duties from the necessities of
life. The government should not de.
rive its revenues by taxing the things
absolutely necessary to the poor and
those of moderate means.
And since the bill rs it now stands
does not promise any reduction in the
cost of living, certainly . strong re-
venue measure fsome kind, independ-
ent of import duties, ought to be pro-
vided in order that this reduction may
be secured without causing . contin-
ued defcit.-Kansas City Star.

Charm Of the American Girl.

Here, girls, listen to what London
Society says of you! 1.-The charm of
the American girl lies in her beauty
and social talents. She is an ideal
partner to dance with. to take in to
dinner or to sit out a picnic with, and
she usually makes an active and sue
cessful hostess. But when her hus-
band discovers that she is never happy
except when going to parties, Is bored
in the country unless with q housefull
of guests, and Is always craving to
tear from one fashionable resort to an
other-no rest, no peace-it is then
that trouble comes in" Much London

Senator Cummins does not give q

does not believe in taking a back seat
and wearing q muzzle on his jaw even
If he is q new member of the upper
house. Cummins has some ideas and
not backward about letting his coun-
trymen know where he stands. His
amendment to the Payne tariff meas
ure providing for an income tax has
the endorsement of nine-tenths of the
voters of the country. The adoption
of the amendment would make it pos.
sible to lower some of the proposed
tariff tax on the necessities of life in
the Payne bill. Senator Cummins
estimates that the adoption of his
amendment would produce about
$40, OOO, 900 in revenue.

A writer in the Albion News at
tempts to convince readers of that
paper that the democratic legislature
should not be given credit for passing
the daylight bill, although he is fair
enough to give Governor Shallenber.
ger credit for approving the measure,
. fact which he could not consistently
deny. Evidently the writer of the
News article is a republican who
enormously believes that his party is
the only one that has shown any incli-
nation to adopt the principal of pater-
nalism. The fact of the matter is that
the democratic party has been drifting
toward the prohibition idea for the
past ten years. They are in the same
position the republican party was
twenty-five years ago when the agita'
tors forced the prohibition issue upon
Iowa and Kansas, and later on the two
Dakotas. The only difference between
the position the republican party occu-
pied then and the democratic party
occupies today is the extent of the
territory involved in the prohibition
movement. The southern states are
now practically in the prohibition
column, and the border states appear
inclined to join them in movement
for national prohibition. The attempt
of the writer in the Albion News to
take from the democratic party its
prohibition record and give the repub-
lican party credit for something it has
not accomplished is not borne out by
the history of the two parties. The
republican party should be given
credit for the prohibition laws once in
force in Iowa and the two Dakotas,
and that party should also be given
credit for the non.enforcement of the
prohibition laws in the states above
named and for the final repeal of the
law and the enactment of high license
laws.

Ironically:
"All you will need to do is to stand
behind the bishops chair, and when
ever his lordship puts down his glass
you must reach over and wipe his
mouth with a napkin"
That silenced his assistant. But the
young man actually took the order
seriously, and as soon as dinner be-
gan he stationed himself behind the
bishop. waited till his lordship had
drunk and put down his glass. and
then. as deliberately as his nervous
ness would permit. he opened out

One of the reasons urged for the
selection of Mr.. Metcalf to stand
against Burkett for senator is that he
is q silent man, and that history will
bear out the statement that silent men
have been the real thinkers of the
world. This is amusing coming as it
does from the friends of the Great
Commoner, but is nevertheless true.
The silent man has made history.
Napoleon was silent man, but accom-.
plished great things. Washington was
q silent man, but became the father of
his country. Lincoln was silent
man, but succeeded in saving his
country and stamping out secession.
Jefferson was a silent man, but left
name on the score sheets of time by
writing the Declaration of Independ-
ence. Benjamin Franklin was silent
man, but his skill as diplomat has
never been equalled by any of his
countrymen. Contrast the success of
the silent man with the efforts of the
agitators of paramount issues and the
championship of experimental isms,
and the reader will readily observe
that there is some truth in the asser-
ton that in comparison with the agi-
tator the silent man has made good.
