Some women's only interest in life is

An idle rumor is about as busy as a
pesky house fly.
The toper's peck of trouble is always
full and stopping over.
Why is it that fat people seldom have
disagreeable tempers
Think what you please but keep
most of your thoughts to yourself.
Learning from the experience of
others is like getting money in letter.
An old crouch is as good as new

BILE.
A woman who builds castles in the
air doesn't have to WORRY ? nut house

And man can see beauty in the
homeliest woman who makes him be-
lieve that she considers him smart.
When a drunken man doesn't think
ne is exceptionally wise the chances
are he is beyond the thinking stage.
Many a man imagines he knows all
about the financial question because he
once had occasion to use a 50 check.
Poverty would soon be thing of the
past if every married man drew as big
salary as his wife thinks he earns.
If a man succeeds in keeping out of

naturally expects to 60 to heaven when
he dies.

Clothing Prices Go Skyward.

Jobber and Retailer for July.
In anticipation of the effect of the
present provisions of the Aldrich tariff
bill, the prices of mems clothing have
been sent sky high within a week.
Clothing dealers report that suits that
could be bought a week ago for 500 are
now being marked to S35.
Staple worsteds and woolens have all
taken 35 per cent raise in the last few
days. Coupled with the expected tariff
effect is the increased cost of secured
wool, which year ago cost as cents a
pound and which is now quoted at rs
cents.
limitations that the prices Of mems
clothing will be greatly increased have
been received by several Chicago deal
ers in woolens, and have caused concern
in all branches of the trade.
According to the advices from the
east, cloth which now costs the whole
salers $l.l5 yard will be advanced to
81. 35 or more by the mills. The whole
salers in turn will be compelled to in
crease their quotations. and this adj
vance, according TO reports in trade
circles, will be 80 per cent.
The retail clothing merchants will find
themselves forced to add a large
amount to the price of each suit, to
cover the increased cost due to high
tariff.
The result will be, it is said, that
merchants now having large stocks of
clothing will mark up the price of their
suits.
The advance will apply to all kinds
of wooden cloth.

Who Is Patten2

The best and truest description of
Patten, the man who engineered the
big wheat corner, that we have ever
seen is written by Ebert Hubbard in
the Phillistine. Here it is:
James A. Patten, who squeezed
down the size of leaf from fourteen
ounces to eleven ounces, produces no
wheat, grinds no flour and makes no
bread
"He does not SOW wheat nor reap it.
All he does is to seize the wheat which
the farmer grows, and block its natural
flow to the people who need it. He locks
up wheat and eompels the people who
need it to pay him vast sums.
"Patteu speculates in wheat.
"Patten fondly imagines that he is a
business man.
Everybody eats bread, excepting a
few rich people who eat cake.
Children eat bread, the women who
work all night cleaning the offices in
the sky-scrapers eat bread. Patten com
pels these to pay him a cent for every
loaf of bread they eat or take home at
daylight to their children.
And yet Patten calls himseJfa bust
ness man "a successful business man.
'If he lived in a small town and
would lock up the food supply compeI-
ing his neighbors to pay tribute, can
you guess what would happen to Patten?
"Yet Patten is very religious He is
an elder in a big prosperous church.
His prosperity ministers to the prosper
ity of this church. He is Sunday
school superintendent and is very zeal
GUS in Church Work
Question: If Christ came to Chicago
what would he think OF Patterns church?

There is great interest here in the
report from Wisconsin that fight is
to be made by the special interests Of
that state for the control of the univer-
sity. The statement of Neal Brown
of Wausau has aroused interest in this
matter. There have been rumors com
ing to Washington for some time that
this fight was to be made, but the first
tangible evidence was the statement
of Mr.. Brown attacking the university
for its activity to control the water
powers of the state, in the interests of
all the people. It's generally regarded
here that the people of Wisconsin will
have to be alive and look sharply after
the appointments upon the board Of
university regents or they will find that
the progressive men now connected
with the university, will soon be with
other institutions, and that the Wiscon.
sin institution will suffer immeasurably
in the estimation of men in all parts Of
the country, who now regard it as the
greatest democratic educational insti-
tuition in the United States.

remember two brothers who played
on our college baseball team, says
Charles Francis Read in the Delineator
for August. The father was a retired
Presbyterian minister, with a grave
face that looked very much as if he
might be repeating to himself the long
er Catechism, but every game found
him right out in front of the widest
crowd of rooters, and he stayed there,
standing up the greater part of the
time, with his eye glued to every play
until the last man was out. | can't re-
remember that his expression changed
perceptibly when Bob struck out, or
Ed hit it out for two bases, but he was
right there all the time, and the boys

More Blisters and Less Lily Fingers

William Allen White, the Kansas
newspaper man, who has gained ma
honal fame by his clear-cut statements
on every question he handles. makes
some salient hits on the demands of the
times. In part he says: ''The demand
of the times is for men, men who are
willing to take Of their coats and 90 To
work. The country has plenty of law
yers, musicians and preachers and edi-
tors and others who conspicuouslv fail
to make two bales of hay grow where
but one grew before. The professions
are all overcrowded, the offices are full
of men who are growing hungry in gen-
teel refinement; the streets are being
worn smooth by the weary feet Of
countless thousands Of gifted and high
iy educated individuals who are filed
with an unspeakable yearning to accent
lucrative positions, but who never think
of hunting jobs Every situation thar
involves an armchair is besieged bv
clamoring applicants. When a city
business man advertises for a cashier
or bookkeeper, he has to hire a platoon
Of police to protect himself from the
answering throng. There are too many
bly, fingers in the country and not
enough hands with blsters on them.

No member of the senate fought
more valiantly for genuine reduction
of the tariff than Senator La Toilette.
He was among the first Of the Republi-
cans to warn his colleagues that the
party must make good on its campaign
pledges in regard to the tariff. His
speech in favor of lower duties was one
of the strongest efforts heard in the
tariff debate The volume of intricate
statistics which Senator La Toilette has
poured into congress during the discus
sion of tariff revision, not only staggered
that body, because of their undisput-
able accuracy, but proved him human
tiend for work.

THE NEW LACOMBE.

The opening of the New Lacombe,
a modern hotel, in 0pelousas, sup
plies an enterprise much needed-an
enterprise which it would have been
impossible to continue much longer
without.
The Old Anticipated hotel building
the scene Of many historical episodes,
standing as it has a fixture Of the
city for over q century-had served
ts purpose. It was no longer ade-
nate for a modern town-for mod
ern 0peIousas. In the days Of old
The Lacombe Hotel was the synonym
Of the best in the land. Itcontinued
chat reputation as far as the service
was concerned, but the appointments
became sorely backwards; the march
Of progress had left it behind.
The gentlemen who, by persever-
ance and tact, promoted the New
Lacombe under trying circumstances,
are entitled To congratulations, and
the gratitude Of the people Of 0pe-
lousas.

Honest, conscientious, with ever a

Allen held a warm place in the hearts
of his fellOWmen.
ar. Allen was 10 years, 6 months
and l6 days at the time of his death,
which occurred at the residence Of
his son, +. Cliff Allen, after a brief
Illness with pneumonia.
I'D to the time of his illness he
was bale and hearty, and his family
and friends counted many years for
him yet. There was no sign Of ap-
preaching dissolution, and he was as
regular il his habits as when age did
not bear SO heavily on him.
On the morning Of the beginning
of his illness, he worked in his gar
den. and it is believed that he be-
came overheated and contracted
pneumonia.
