ALL COUNTRIES FELT THE
DEPRESSION.

The countries of the world are so
neighborly these days that what af-
fects one is felt b. all The financial
panic of 1907. for instance, which had
/ its origin in this country, lowered the
| industrial life Of all nations. The
crash was felt throughout the civilized
world and brought on 2 depression In
Europe and Asia, in Africa and Aus
tralia
This slowing down of commerce is
we'll illustrated in the report on the
exports of the United States, which
for the fiscal year ending June 30
will show falling off of TWO hundred
million dollars. This drop is In part
accounted for in the lower prices as
compared with year ago That the
worlds markets arc taking less pro-
duce in 190S-9 than In 1907-S is quite
apparent from the figures published
from month to month by the bureau of

country in the same period OF time
fell 6S million dollars. Canada shows
for the II months ending with Febru-

in her imports; and our own figures
of exports to that country show a

some of the Difficulties in the Way
OF Their RenIi1ntlan.

OF Their Reaii1ation.
From the New York Times.
President Taft has said that "a move
ment among the churches 10 create per-
manent fund. like the guarantee fund Tor
the support of teachers, for ministers WIN
have worn themselves out would be a
very admirable benefaction." This senti-
ment expresses the convictions Of all citi-
zens who believe that religion is a per-
manent force IN the nation. and that the
churches are as deserving Of supporl as
are the schools and colleges.
But there are 161.715 ministers Of the
gospel in the United States. Man.festly.
a Carnegie foundation for the advance
ment OF the ministry suppOsing II could
overleap the differences OF faiths and
oreeds. would not begin to go around in
providing pensions for these ministers.
There Is no question that the aged pas
tors OF the churches. Eastern or West
ern, Reformed or UNIFORMED should be
retired. TIE churches suffer through their
falling powers quite as seriously as the
colleges suffered before Mr.. Carnegie
made his munifcent gift for the advance
nent of teaching. Unfortunately. the
work Of providing pensions must be
prosecuted within the denominations,
each for itself.
And here another almost insuperaole
difficulty presents itself The denomina-
tons are DIVIDED. The sects Of the Bap-
lists comprise the North Regular. the
South Regular. the Six Principle. the
Seventh-day. Freewill. Original Freewill
General. Separate. United, Baptist Church
of Christ. Primitive. Old Two Seed in the
Spirit Professionalism. and the Church OF
God and Saints of Christ Other denomi-
nations and faiths are split Up almost as
badly. The result Is that every city and
crossroads town is struggling 10 support
more churches and ministers than its
wealth and numbers will permit. The

True Americans Abroad.

Lady Paget. who before her mar
rage was Miss Stevens. daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Paran Stevens, is one
of the American women who remain
proud of their country Not long ago
at dinner in London at which Lady
Paget was present some one remarked
that. in spite of her long residence in
England. she had never forgotten her
American accent. Lady Paget over
heard the remark and replied. NO. and
/ thank God that / never will.' Other
noted American women who have at
tanned titles. but who still speak as
Americans. are the dowager Duchess
of Manchester and Mrs. CORVALLIS
West. Their popularity with the king
is largely due to the fact that they
have not tried to ape the English man
nerisms of speech. The person, man
or woman, who honors his or her coun-
try by remaining true to its customs
and mannerisms always commands re-
spect abroad. Put that Oh your card

The Books We Read.

What we read has an actual effect
on us. Books are also ike people in
that. The people among whom you
spend most of your time will make
you more or less like them, and the
books you read will make your mind
something like themselves. If we get
into the habit of reading silly or care
less or cheap literature we gradually
lose the power to read what is strong
and true and fine. It is occasionally
necessary to take a good deal OF trou-
bic to read fine book, just as it re-
quires care and time to do a tine piece
of work. But it is worth the trouble,
What is called a taste for good Hter;t-
ture is one of the most delightful pcs
sessions in life. We must begin To get
this taste while we are still young or
we run a risk of never getting it at

LOVE SPEECHES VERSUS DEEDS

DO you love your wife? If you do.
then do not fail to tell her so. Let no
day go by without some word of af-
lection"
Thus do the advisory writer's admon-
ish the married man.
Which is very well, but
Here is a Minneapolis woman who
has sued her husband fer divorce be-
cause he spends his time making love
to her instead of working to support
her!
In her complaint this woman says
her husband kisses her until she is
sick of his attentions. He calls her all
manner of pet names, but does moth.
ing to help her.
Doubtless she thinks with the old
saying that fine words butter no para-
nips"
For this husband not only fails to
butter the parsnips, but compels her
to hustle about to get the parsDips.
The wife is right.
Protestations of love with nothing
to back them up are like the cracking
of thorns under the pot--noise without
significance
Love is of account only in action.
Love is proved by deeds. 1t must
do as well as say Words may satisfy
a heart hunger for awhile, but in the
meantime the stomach may grow hun
cry, and as between heart and stom-
ach the former can stand the longer
siege of poverty.
Even the novelist, who is expert in
love conversation, is under compulsion
to get move on his lover that he may
verify the soft talk.
The husband who really loves his
wife will strive with all his might to
save her from hardsllips and to give
her all the comforts and rs many of
the luxuries of life as he may be able
to secure.
Love is another word for sacrifice.
Love means self denial.
The husband who loves his wife will
be not only affeetionate, but helpful
Love is unselfsh. 1t does not take,
but gives
There are plenty of husbands who
are short on words. In speech they
are naturally undemonstrative. They
are not given to expression. But they
are genuinely in love with their wives.
In fact. most men are built that way.

THE WOMAN OF 1T.

George Albert of New York loved
Dora Steinmesser OF the same place.
He told her so.
Miss Steinmesser, a beautiful girl.
did not reciprocate Alberts affection
and told him so.
Albert was filed with despair, and
he thought about the refusal until he
was nearly crazed. Meeting the girl
on the street, he threw acid in her
face.
The girls beauty was almost spoiled,
and her eyes were endangered.
THE brute! The sooner such man
goes to the penitentiary the better
He ought to be kept there the remain
der of his natural life to make sure he
will not spoil the beauty of some other
girl
That is the man of it,
But strange woman heart. Miss
Steinmesser says, Now l know he
loves me-
Caring nothing for him before, she
now says she will do all she can to
keep him out of prison and if he does
go she will wait for him and marry
him when he gets out.
That is the woman of il.
If the girl does not change her mind
and does marry Albert she will make
a great mistake. A man whose wires
get crossed like that would be dan
gerous man to live with.
But
The incident serves to reveal the
gentleness of a Woman's heart. And
it shows that above all things a wo-
man wants to be loved for herself. A
woman may desire money aud social
position, and desire them very much,
but she yearns most of all to be loved
for her-yery self. She may barter love
for other things, but will always know
she has cheated herself.
Affection alone viii appease the hun
ger iii woman's heart.
It is customary for men to say no
man can ever really know a woman.
They call her the riddle of the uni
verse" enigma, sphinx and other
names. That is mistake.
You can read the most sacred secret
OF any woma1l's heartily loving her
But you may clothe her in purple and
fine linen and put her on a throne as
queen and she will never be satisfied
until she is sure that some man loves
her for herself alone.
Therefore 1 say. it is easy to read the
inscription on the utmost depths of a
woman's soul
And By the same token it is easy to
make any woman supremely happy.
How? Love her and-prove it.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
A DOLEFUL CHAPTER.

This is human documents sord1d,
everyday, pitiful history.
Mistake No. George F. Smith of
Chicago when eighteen years of age
married his wife, who was only a
month younger than he. The acquaint-
sance began ut skating rink
Mistake No 2.-On the nuptial day
they had a cash capital of $11.65.
After the wedding expenses were paid
the family treasury contained $7.15.
And Georges weekly salary was only
IS week.
Until the baby came they paid So
week for board, $40 for Georges car
fare and lunch, 70 cents for clothing
and 20 cents for picture shows.
There was neither comfort nor hap
Dfness In these conditions. George did
mot get on. His salary remained at So.
There were pickering and trouble.
When the baby came Georges ro-
nance was shattered He deserted
both wife and baby He was arrested
nor wife desertion and Jailed. The
girl wife took her baby in her arms
and went back to her home-a poor
one.
And this is what George said:
when / get out of this | viii shun
married Iife-never again. | say to all
boys, don't get married"
There was no kind word for the
child wife, no word of regret, no
thought for the baby. Did l not say
1t was a sordid and pitiful document?
And, remember, this is no fancy pic
ture, and it is typical Of many such
marriages.
But
Worse than the two mistakes this
couple made was the third and vital
one.
They did not really love each other.
Oh, I do not mean they did not care
for each other in a way. mean
there was no real affection on either
side-I mean the affection that abides,
that counts no hardship too great, no
sacrifice too severe. for loves great
sake.
They made a mistake in marrying
too young, but that was not serious
one. They made mistake in begin
ming married life with so little money,
but that might have been remedied if
George had been ambitious and ener-
getie and courageous and self sacri-
f1cing.
But the lack of love was fatal.
Poor child wife! Poor baby! Yes,
and poor George-weak and coward!
One may photograph the picture and
almost see 'the finish" of boy and girl
and baby.
It is these doieful chapters in our
modern human life that make sad the
heart of every lover OF his kind.

TO overcome or be overcome that's
fshe question.
The successful man succeeds because
he overcomes the difficulties in his
way. The failure fails because he al.
lows the difficulties to overcome him.
