Dead Beats and High Prices.

A witness before the Senate commit
tee which is Investigating the cost of
living argued that dead beats We're
largely responsible for the high prices.
"a great many customers fail to pay
their accounts said the witness, who
was a retail grocer. 1.-THE dealers are
thus forced to charge their losses N
that respect to.those who are good pay
on pay day or who settle for cash.
That argument would~be good If the
dead beat We're a recent institution.
But he is not He has been doing the
same things. through high prices or
low, from the remotest periods OF anti
guilty that he is doing today. He may
be regarded as a fixed charge, an IN
evitable abatement, a constant force,
a necessary evil. He is to the busl-
ness world what friction Is to mechan-
les a thing that cannot conce1vably
be got rid of-an obstacle that has al
ways existed.
motion as of conducting retail bust
ness without due allowance for the
dead beat. AS well dream that per-
petIIal motion vance existed as TO sug-
gest that there ever was a time when
the dead beat was not a factor In MI
man affairs. 1t is therefore obvious
that no matter what may have caused
the recent rise in prices, the dead beat
had no more to do with it than any
other ancient institution which has
been functioning quietly through the
centuries. He is q constant factor in
prices-not a novel or extremely vaci-
able quantity.-Chicago Inter-Ocean-

WOMEN GAMBLERS.

The clergyman who publishes as If
it was news that women are gamblers
has never yet taken the right view OF
life He has not thought of life as a
gamble or the chance men and women
take in matrimonial schemes. Since
marriage has for many ages been
something of a Lottery. why should it
be strange that the women take to
chance games as readily as the men ?
What are shrewd women doing today
in the way of selecting husbands? Are
they not looking more anxiously for
the winner than the lover? They are
rather inclined to the view that where
achievement resides love is as sure
to come in at the door as 1t is to go
out of the window when grim want
has established itself The chance
game is well established and popular
with certain classes OF both sexes and
the crime Is the same by whomsoever
committed. Women gamble at cards
and in the stock market often just as
skilfuHy as men and If they roll in
ill-gorteu gain are no worse than the
men who do the same thing. Man
makes a. gaae OF life and politics and
woman not only appears to be able to
sit IN either game with confidence,
but often succeeds in making game of
the shrfewdest of men.

a MODEL OF sELF-coNTRoL.

The way In which Mr.. Hoffstot, who
is charged with conspiracy and bribery,
met the press when he was notified
that he was to be held for trial, just
shows what command a real general
of high finance has over himself. He
did not get excited. When asked to
talk for publication he simply said:
II always leave business behind me
at the Office and now that am home
7 cannot discuss this matter. Tomor-
row when I go downtown and look
things over I may have something to
say. but until then you must excuse
me-
Isnnerged in business and confront
ed with trouble and perhaps visions
of prisons rather than palaces, this
great manager OF corporations and
rnuddler of corporation problems locks
everything up in a room and takes his
lightened mind home with him He
has forgotten the doings of the day
so that he cannot talk about them.
Now I ana home" he says, -I cannot
discuss this matter Those who think
that Washington could have told lie
had he desired to, will quite likely feel
sure that Mr.. Hoffstot could have dis
eussed the matter had he wanted to.
Those who are inclined to be cred
uIous are amazed by his power to for
get business for the sake of taking
in home pleasures and home comforts
He is a real master of self, and this
indicates that he has power in re-
serve and does not feel alarmed.
Mr.. Hoffstot knows how to leave
his business behind him, which is a
modern day sign that he Is not often
likely to get left.

THE SUNDAY PROBLEM.

The Sunday observance problem is
something which it does not pay to
discuss-something the judicious avoid
If possible. Mayor Hooker of Hart
ford attributes his defeat TO this issue.
Describing how the question works in
politics, Mayor Hooker said:
3.Pious people, who wished to have
Sunday kept according to the customs
of the Puritans, did not vote for him
because he favored a liberal interpre-
tation of the Sunday observance laws,
and those who wished to have NOV
ing picture entertainments on Sunday
did not vote for him because of the
closing of the entertainments during
his administration. He favored liberty
for the people. but was powerless to
have his wishes put into effect
The observance of Sunday in the
opinion of the people is not unlike
the tariff opinions which would make
the products OF their section dear and
of all other sections cheap. Every man
has his idea of freedom for himself and
family, and OF restraint for the other
fellow. The restraint for the other
citizen is the fruit of friction, and
there are nearly as many points of
friction there are families. There
are issues which were never designed
to be fooled with, and Sunday observ-
ance appears to be one Of them so far
as political candidates and prospects
are concerned.

Really, it was great fun! The girl
smiled at herself in the mirror as she
tucked the wisps OF her hair under the
dainty lace cap and smoothed the
wrinkles from her apron. No man
was going to get ahead of her, she as
serted with defiant tilt of the head.
At that moment her mistress swept
into the room. "Jeannette," she said,

The new butler proved an unusual
man. His alert and ready bearing,
which he tried in vain to conceal by
the meek drOOD OF his shoulders, be-
1onged rather to the man or the world
than to a mental who was obliged to
bow to the caprice of the wealthy. In

about giving him orders, but, she rea-

THE ANTl-FLY CRUSADE.

[. Commenting upon The Bulletins
defense of the American woman as a
fly fighter, the ST. Adams Messenger
says:
"AlI this is charming in the woman,
but not much damaging to the fly.
1.-THE present crusade seeks to en-
phasize two important points: First,
that people have not heretofore un-
derstood what a menace to public
health the common housef1y is; sec
ond that the old-time methods of the
housewife to get rid of the little pests
were just so much time and energy
wasted because they accomplished no
permanent good. A general crusade
against this insect, a crusade in which
every household in the land might
join, and one that began with the de-
struction of eggs in the very breeding
places of the flies, would soon prac-
tically rid America of this dangerous
inhaoitant. It is worthy trying"
The American woman believes more
in a flyless house than in poison pans.
She knows with what facility flies
can wade in poison and then walk on
the pie or drop into the milk or the
soup She has no time to hunt for
flies nests or eggs; she just screens
in the house, warns every male mem
Der OF the family TO keep the screens
closed, hunts them to their lair every
night by lampMght and gathers in
every mothers son of them and then
retfres to rest in peace. She can give
the board of health and the crusaders
points in fly-slaying; and she would
be ashamed to have a dozen discovered
in the whole house, anyway

Mo- Permanent Embassies.

1t is now evident that Congress will
not for the present agree to pass any
measure providing for the purchase of
permanent homes OF our ambassadors
and ministers at foreign capitals. The
spirit of economy is no doubt back Of
this decision, although it is also claim
ed that our legislative leaders prefer
to carefully study the matter before
finally committing the government to
the imitation of the practices OF for
eign countries.
with the advent of the telegraph df-
plomacy of a high order is no longer
regarded as important as it used to be,
and most governments are now dealing
more directly with each other than
was formerly the custom. At the same
time every nation must have repre-
sentatives abroad although whs.neT
they are only rich men or able men
is OF less consequence than was for
rrreriy the case.
So long however, as a country e1Ide
it necessary to be represented at for
eign capitals, it IS undignihed and
unjust to expect the representative -
pay the greater part of his own ex-
penses- Just as long as an ameassa-
dor must bear the principal cost of
his position out of his own pocket Just
so long will he be justified in getting
all the social distinction and personal
advancement out Of his off1ce which IS
possible.-New Orleans Picayune.

A BLESSING in DISGUISE.

1t is not likely that the cockroach
will have a feeling of gratitude for
the student who discovered that he is
friend. not foe, of the home; or
that housekeepers who have a horror
of them will regard them with more
favor since they are proclaimed to be
beneficial This is what writer in
Good Housekeeping has to say of the
roach:
t'The roach is very cleanly in its
habits, and thus resembles a cat, just
as the common housefly may be said
to resemble dog that comes in dirty
and muddy from the street. When the
fly carries disease germs and the
bacteria that breed In filth to the food
on the dinner table, the eockroach is
not an unclean insect. Instead, II you
watch him. you will see that he is con-
stant1y stopping in his short runs to
lick his legs and wings with his
tongue. The roach is also a great help
in devouring crumbs and waste about
the kitchen and dining room. In the
tenements of N eW York's East Side
the Croton bugs do the work that the
housewives leave undone. The insects
clean from the cracks and crevices of
ill-kept kitchen the food and refuse
that would otherwise decay and cause
evil results. Besides, the cockroaches
If the food supply runs short will
make inroads into the bedrooms and
hunt and devour other insects, such as
bedbugS that make life uIbearable.
If food is kept out of the house for
a week or SO and there are any bed
bugs to be found the cockroaches will
eat them and their eggs. Taken alto

No Interest in Economy.

In the house of representatives on
Monday Mr.. Gnlet of Massachusetts
declared that public opinion in the
United States took no interest IN scon-
omy. Our constituents" said he,
want US to do something for them,
and so long as we can get our hands
in the treasury they do not care. The
man who gets a larger appropriation
for something in his own district
achieves popularity, no matter what
his conduct may be in relation to gen.
eral legislation" As the sure way to
get an appropriation for a public build
ing is to agree to vote for other mems
bills for what they want, and as there
are nearly 400 representatives in the
House a billion dollar session of Con-
gress has become the normal thing.

this day cares not a straw for econ
