sehopenhauer on kinship.

The source of all pleasure and delight
Is the feeling of kinship. Even with the
sense Of beauty it is unquestionably
our own species in the animal world,
and then again our own race, that APP
pears to us the fairest. So, too, In In
tercourse with others, every man shows
a decided preference for those who re-
semble him, and blockhead will find
the society of another blockhead in
comparably more pleasant than that OF
any number of great minds put to-
gether.

He'll and Texas.

The remark of General Sheridan,
who commanded in Texas just after
the civil war, "If l owned hell and
Texas, I'd sell out Texas and live in
hell" is often quoted. The answer of
a Texas editor is not so well known:
"Well, damn man who doesn't stand
up for his own country anyhow"

KISSING IN SPOON
ING TIME
EXPERT PREPARES
TO BE HUNG ABOUT NECKS OF
INFANTS AND "ONLY ONES"

Des Moines, May 21."The spring
time has come, gentle Annie" and
In the spring young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love"
The balmy breeze, the whispering
trees, fair Luna's soft rays, all invite
sweethearts to go "spooning"
So, of course, just at this time,
right at the beginning of the most
romantic season, when the little birds
are cooling and all nature is woofng,
along comes A. E. Kepford, the state
expert and lecturer on tuberculosis.
He officially declares there must be
no more kissing in Iowa.
Mr.. Kepford, who is wise old g
scientist, does not denounce kissing
is so many words. He says, cautious
lily, that he and Iowa are only taking
| up and carrying on the old crusade
against the elusive bacillus of tuber-
culosis.
Mr.. Kepford asserts that this ba-
cillus is the real kissing bug" He
| is about to send to every mother in
Iowa a card inscribed:
do not kiss this baby"
Mama will hang this warning
around baby's neck or on baby's 60
cart
re oil viii tko
babies" says Mr.. Kepford. Then"
Plainly an awful threat is hiden in
1.-The word "then." After the babies
are saved the sign will be hung about
the neck of every giggling school girl
of or z. They will be forbidden
to kiss even each other.
"Then," the same sign, will be
blazoned on the park benches where
SWANS are accustomed to murmur.
And Chem
IT'S dusk and rather darker. He,
on her porch, awaits the Only Girl
in the World. He has found cour-
age to propose. He hears the rustic
of her filmy skirts; afraid to raise
Ibis eyes, he knows. for love tells him,
she is at his side, smiling down on
him. He gets on his feet, stretches
lout two arms and breathes fondly,
Dearest one"
Then" in the dusk, he see-oh,
Ihorrors!-he sees around her neck,
do not kiss this baby"

TURN BACK CLOCK
Of NATION
WILL BE PROPOSED AT CON-
FERENCE TO HAVE WORK
BEGIN AT 5 A. NJ. AND
CLOSE AT 3 p. NJ. IN SUMMER.

Washington, May 21.-A day
Hight hours conference will begin in
Washington tomorrow that it is
hoped by the delegates will induce
the United States government to au-
Ithorize a change in the working
hours and in the standard time of
the nation. The first delegation to
arrive will be that from Cincinnati,
but there will be delegates from most
tof the eastern and middle western
Estates. They are business men, as a
rule, at the head of large enter
prises.
1t is their plan that on May / the
clock be put ahead two hours all over
the continent, so that what has been
5 a. m. shall be a. m. The quit
ting time of the work day will be
pnushed up two hours also. so that
the workers, after the days task is
finished, shall have two hours more
of daylight.
Commander E. W. Hayden of the
naval observatory put the same prop
osition to the department few days
ago, and Secretary Meyer thought so
much of it that he has put it to a
vote in the navy department. The
result of the vote will be taken up at
a cabinet meeting.
1t is the contention of the advO-
Gates of daylight hours that the hui
man being is as much benefited by
sunlight as plants and animals Of
lower species They believe that the
extra hours in the sunshine in the af-
ternoon will make workers more fit
for the next days task. The plan
is to move up the clock on each May
1 and to move it back two hours On
each October /.

COAL NINE DEATHS
Il DAILY
DURING YEAR 1907, 1928 MEN
WERE KILLED AND 5,316 IN.
JURED IN UNDERGROUND DIS.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. THIRD.

DcuFcl, mdy Ola page III the
last report of the Uuited States geo.
logical survey, on the mineral re-
sources of the United States, contains
the surprising statement that during
the year 1907 the lives of 1925 men
were sacrificed in the coal mines of
the United States, while an addition
al 1915 men were more or less ser
iously injured, many of them per-
haps fatally. This was an average of
IA men killed and % injured for each
day the mines were worked.
West Virginia holds the unenvi-
able record for greatest death rate,
being 1885 per thousand men en-
ployed. Then follow New Mexico
with Has; Washington with sos:
and Montana with 4.39. The aver
age for the whole country was 1856
deaths per 100 men employed In
the western states, where natural
conditions have always been consid-
cred the safest, the average death
rate is much higher than in the
eastern states.
Causes of Accidents.
One-third of the deaths result
from explosions of coal dust and gas,
the precise causes of which are not
jofipitoIy kpowp opd ooo hardIx,
be prevented until after further in
vestigations are made. A little more
than one-third result. from falls Of
roof and coal, which, with the exer-
else of greater care, could perhaps
be largely prevented. The remand
er result from blown-out shots, and
miscellaneous causes.
In the early months of 1908 con-
gress appropriated $50, 100000 with
which to carry on experiments and
Investigations for the purpose of as
pertaining the causes of, and means
to prevent, such terrible loss of life,
but at best this can result only in
lessening the number and extent of
the fatalities
Fund for UnfOrtunates.
1t has been proposed by the Amer
lean Mining congress, which held its
session at Pittsburg, Pa, last De-
cember, where the subject of coal
mine accidents was fully discussed,
that in order to mitigate the dis
astrous results, and to tighten the
burden which sometimes falls heavi-
ly upon the distressed family of the
dead or injured miner, that a small
tax be levied upon all coal produced,
to create fund which could be equit-
ably diSbursed among those Distress
ed by the accident. A tax of one
half cent per ton, it is thought,
would be ample, and would be of
great relief to the families of depend
ents of the unfortunate victims.
Congressman J. G. McHenry of
Pennsylvania, who was a delegate to
the mining congress, is the author of
a resolution recommending that the
legislatures of the coal mining states
pass appropriate laws putting this
plan into effect. 1t has been endorsed
by many of the large coal operators
of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and
West Virginia; by John Mitchell, ex-
president, and by Thomas L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Work
ers.

ESSAYS on DECORATING Lie.

Louis Collier Wilcox in her collection
OF essays called THE Human Way"
says nothing very new, nothing very
startling, but much that Is true and help
full. Perhaps most interesting Is her
conception that most things worth while
must be added 10 the barrenness Of life
as decorations. After the hrst hope of
youth has duTed In commonplace ex-
perience. and we realized that life is not
a gracious gift that the goes have sent,
fitted for our pleasure. living seems a
desolate mon0tOny OF toll through which
the path Of the days dwtndles toward
the grave. Then comes the true test
OF our soul when from what we find out
side and what we have within, we must
decorate the little cell OF our daily liv-
ing.
'9The Human Way is made up OF sug-
gestiouS as to where we may find these
cover books, the beauty of the world.
friends, children, and the lasting human
relations; within, are the soul, personal
ity, solitude, and meditation, and finally
the great triumph of an acquiesence to
the calm food of life Itself, a kind Of
mingling Of self and the universe. These
old answers TO the question OF happines
are made from modern viewpoint
They are not emotional or religious in
the lesser sense, yet they are sincere
and hopeful. And the pages are not IN
touched with a glow OF optimistic faith
Of the rational kind. Ii is the faith per-
haps of Dr. Eliots religion.
There is much wise reflection and
comment. and an interesting mass of
aIusiOn But we wonder why one OF
the decorations OF the literary life
cannot be a pursuit Of external
beauty in style Miss Wilcox says
many good things. but how much
better they would be IL given to US
in words that mean something in
themselves. There is so little that is
, new In this book that 10 can scarcely
spare the adornment OF a new dress.
Z The style is diguified and direct but
there is no charm OF word that would
me Ike old truths on books and friend
/ ship appear as Illuminating discov-
cries.
