JOY.

Joy is a prize unbousht and is
freest, purest in its flow when it
comes unsought. No getting into
heaven, as a place, will compass it.
You must carry it with you. else it
is not there. You must have it in
you, as the music Of a well ordered
soul, the FIRE Of a holy purpose, the
yelling up out Of the central depths
Of eternal springs that hide the wa
tiers there.-1orace Bushnell.

SAYS FEDERAL LAWYER
MISCONDUCTS OFFICE
Barclay Henley Makes Charges
Against United States At
torney in the North

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25.-At the
conclusion today of his direct testi-
mony in the inquiry conducted by the
select committee Of the senate into
the conduct of criminal law by federal
officials, Barclay Henley, attorney for
DIR. E. B. Perrin, formally charged
United States District Attorney Robert
T. Devlin with misconduct in connec-
tion with his prosecution of Perrin
for alleged conspiracy to defraud the
government of timber land. Henley
was cross examined by Devlin and
admitted that his charge before the
judiciary committee of the United
States senate that the federal prose-
cutor here had prevented Perrin ap-
pearing before the grand jury had been
proved groundless by testimony
brought out during the present in"
quiry.
Police Judge Charles L. Weller, who
is related to DR.. Perrin by marriage,
acknowledged that he had visited
Frank Finley, a member Of the federal
grand jury, before the Perrin indict-
ments were returned, and that Finley
had told him of the appearance OF
William ]. Burns before the grand
Jury. Weller declared Finley had told
him that Burns conveyed a message
to the jury from President Roosevelt
asking that Benson and Perrin be
brought to trial.
This statement was denied by Fin
ley in his testimony yesterday.

WELLS LEAVES TO ATTEND
THE FUNERAL OF HURLEY
Manager of Coast Lines of Santa
Fe May Refuse Promotion

A G. Wells, general manager of the
Santa Fe coast lines, left last evening
for Topeka, Kansas, to attend the fu-
neral of the late j. Z. Hurley, general
manager of the lines east of Albu-
querque. Mr.. Hurleys funeral will be
held Sept. 8, his body arriving from
Carlsbad, Austria, where he died, on
Sept. 2.
There is great deal of speculation
among local railroaders as to who will
be selected to fill the position made
vacant by Mr.. Hurleys death Ac-
cording to the Santa Fe's precedent
of promoting men longest in their
service, Mr.. Wells is the man in line
for the position, and there seems to
be no doubt among Los Angeles rail-
road men that he will be offered it.
1t is understood, however, that Mr.
Wells will not accept the position in
the east under any circumstances on
account of wishing to live in Southern
California, which eliminates him from
among those likely to be moved up.
1t is believed that during his pres
ent trip east Mr.. Wells will be Of
fered the position by President Rip
ley and the directors Of the road and
that they will endeavor to persuade
him to accept, despite his unofficial
refusal. This conference between the
chief of the coast lines and the chiefs
of the system viii probably be held
in Chicago Immediately after the fu-
neral.

COMBINES CHURCH AND
BIC OFFICE BUILDING
Travis Park MethodiStS of San
Antonio, Texas, Build Mod
ern Skyscraper

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Aug. 25.-The
Travis Park Methodist congregation Of
this city intends to become the leader
in a movement which in a very apt
manner will combine the spiritual with
the practical. The idea will be carried
out in the building of a combination
church and office building, which, when
completed will represent an investment
of a little less than S1,O00,00O. A few
days ago the organization acquired
some real estate adjoining its present
church site; the church itself although
one of the most beautiful buildings of
its kind in the city, will be torn down
and in its place will be erected a
modern skyscraper.
The structure planned will have
twelve stories above ground and q
deep basement. The latter and the
first two stories will be used for church
purposes. An auditorium seating $500
persons will take up the entire first
floor; on the second floor will be found
the Offices of the church and several
religious publications, library, social
rooms, play rooms, kitchen and res
taurant, bath and swimming pool, gym
nasium and q day nursery for at least
fifty children. The basement will ac-
commodate an institutional department
which will be conducted in the interest
of the poor. Here also will be installed
the buildings mechanical department.
Ten other floors viii be rented for Of
flee purposes.
To a very large degree the innovation
is the work Of DR.. S. r. c. Burgin,
pastor of the church. Mr.. Burgin is a
very able man Of broad views and has
met with unprecedented success here.
He assumed the Dastorate Of the con-
gregation in November, 1908, and in
less than a year doubled the member
ship of the church. His plan is backed
by some of the biggest business men in

CASHIER REFUSES TO TAKE
VACATION; ACCOUNTS SHORT

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Because
George E. Wezzel, a cashier for dry
goods firm, would not take a vacation
when it was offered him by his em-
ployer recently, he is under arrest here
charged with stealing $4,000 of the
company's money.
When the vacation was offered him,
he declared that his fondness for work
would not let him think for moment
of going away. His excuse aroused the
suspicious of officers of the firm and an
examination of his books was made,
which showed, it is alleged, shortage
of more than $4,000 within year.

LODGE CAMPAIGN
STARTLES BOSTON
Friend of Taft Finds Himself in
Peril on Rocky Road of
Politics
INSURGENT CAUSES TROUBLE
AmeS Begins Senatorial Fight
and May Succeed in Gain
ing Senate Place
lNSURGENT CAUSES TROUBLE
Especial to The Herald

BOSTON, Aug. Ex-senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, friend of Taft and party
regular, but also counselor and crony
of Colonel Roosevelt, for the first time
in his long public career finds himself
on a rocky road in politics.
Lodge is extremely willing, indeed
anxious, to again serve Massachusetts,
in the Senate. With the liking of Il.
II. and the Endorsement of Mr., Taft, he
started his campaign hopefully, re-
garded his opponent, Representative
Butler Ames,' tolerantly, played the
game in the same way that he has
played it so successfully for many
years-and suddenly has come 10 a
realization that things in politics are
not as they used to be.
LODGE HAS UPHILL FIGHT
Recently, so vivid has become the
senator's realization that he has tao
kled an uphill fight that Massachusetts,
has been afforded the spectacle of its
senior senator actually hustling for
votes. Other senators have hustled"
for votes in their time, but never be-
fore has the patriCian Lodge whose
opponents now describe him as out in
his shirt sleeves seeing the people,"
Lodge has most of the party leaders
of Massachusetts lined up in his sup
port, but in seeing the people" he
seems proving less successful. Many
of the candidates seeking legislative
office in the bay state refuse to pledge
themselves, if elected, to vote for Lodge
for senator. Many others openly de-
clare they will vote for Ames against
him. Meanwhile Ames is tearing up
and down the state throwing verbal
vitriol at Lodge in every speech. The
situation has resolved itself into one
of the hottest political fights in the his
tory of the state and one that is icing
watched throughout the nation. Ames
is strongly insurgent in his views.

Wet and Dry Moons.

There is an old superstition, which
dies hard, that the position of the
horns OF the new moon tells what the
weather will be; if the horns of the
crescent are on the same level, it will
hold water, and hence it is dry moon; /;
but if it is tipped up, then the water
will run out, and it is a wet moon.
One thing has helped keep this be-
lief alive; the moon is dry in the
part of the spring that is usually fair,
while it is wet" during the season of
autumn rains.
If this were sure sign of the
weather we could have our predictions
years in advance, for an astronomer
can predict the exact position of the
moon at any time in the future.
The cause for the different positions
of the crescent is simple: The moon is
south of the sun in the autumn and
north of it in spring. The crescent is
found by the light of the sun falling
on the moon, and the horns are natur-
ally in line perpendicular to the di-
rection of the sun from the moon.
That is all there is 70 it.

Farms Without Children.

Seventy-two houses, 13 of them
empty, on II miles of road through
excellent farming country, is what a
correspondent in Moravia regards in
his lecture as typical situation in
this state. The farmers down that
way are in a large measure elderly
men. Among the original families
deaths are more common than births.
The problem of getting help on the
farm is a distressing one. Mr.. Par
ker suggests that men must be hired
from the city or village.
And of all the unhappy details of
the unhappy situation the most so is
the fact that in the II miles there are
only 25 persons less than 81 years old
Homes in city where children might
be, but are not, are deplorable, but
such homes in the country are not
only lacking in one of the things that
make home happy. but are without

NO LOSS POSSIBLE
EVERY CARE is EXERCISED IN
UNITED STATES MINTS.
The Smallest Particles of Gold and
Silver That Escape in the Minting
Are Recovered Through vari-
Gus Processes.

1t has been aptly said that no miser
guards his treasure more religiously
than Uncle Sam watches over the
precious metals that pass through his
mints. Then, too, the precautions
against waste are almost innumerable.
Every evening in each of the mints
of the United States the floors of the
melting rooms are swept cleaner than
a New England housewives kitchen.
The dust is carefully put aside and
about once in two months the SCOT
scraped from every flue is transferred
to the same precious dust heap. This
is then burned, and from it's ashes the
government derives no inconsiderable
income. The earthenware crucfbles
used in melting are employed no more
than three times. They are crushed
beneath heavy rollers, and in their
pourous sides are found flakes of the
precious metal.
In the melting room, when the
casters raise their ladies from the
melting pots, shower of sparks f1y
from the molten surface of the metal
For the most part they are bits of in
candescent carbon, but clinging to
the carbon is often minute particle
of metal. Lest such particles should
escape, the ashes and clinkers below
the furnaces are gathered up at night
This debris is ground into powder by
means of a steam crusher and then is
sold to a smelter, like ordinary ore,
at price warranted by the assayer
The ladies' that stir the precious
fol hn h OF inc re
and the dippers, all are tested in a
most curious fashion. After consid,
cradle use, they become covered with
a thin layer of oxidized silver, closely
resembling a brown rust. The imple-
ments are then laid in baths of a
solution of sulphuric acid, which eats
away the iron and steel and leaves
the silver untouched.
Gradually the ladle, or whatever the
implement is, will disappear, and in
its place remains a hollow silver
counterpart of the original, delicate as
spun glass. These fragile casts re-
produce the ladle with perfect accur-
acy in all it's details, although their
cradle little holes. Scarcely have they
been nodded, however, before they are
cast into a crucible, to become in time
dollars, quarters and dimes.
In one corner of the melting room
there is large tank, into which new
ly-cast silver bars are dropped and
left to cool. Infinitesimal flakes of
silver scale off and rise to the surface
of the water, which acquires the
metallic luster of a stagnant pool.
Here is silver that must not be lost.
SO beneath the pipe through which the
tank is emptied is banked thick lay
er of mud. AS the water filters
through it. the mud retains the pre-
cious residuum. Four times a year
this mud is removed, and each ex
pertinent discloses the fact that some
$50 has been saved.

10000 AMERICAN
SETTLERS GO
TO CANADA
THE YEAR 1909 HAS SHOWN AN
INCREASE OF OVER EIGHTY
PER CENT IN AMERICAN
SETTLEMENT.

Recent advices from Canada, our
next door neighbour, the neighbourly
country across the boundary line,
are that upwards of ninety thousand
settlers from the United States went
into Western Canada during the past
year, most of them for the purpose Of
taking up and settling upon the va
cant lands, 16O acres Of which are
given free by the government, and
lands adjoining held by railway and
land companies are selling at from
nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per
acre. Even If thirty and forty dollars
per acre were paid, the price would be
low, as the lands produce wonderfully.
and at these higher figures there is
large interest on the money and labor
invested. The ninety thousand set
tiers of last year, followed about sixty
thousand of the previous year. and for
several years the number has been
running into these large figures. There
must be a reason for it. It may be
found in the single phrase, "they are
satisfied" Nothing attracts people
more than the success of others, and
the news of this reaching other thou
sands, causes them to investigate. The
investigation in this case is always
satisfactory. The splendid land Of
Iowa, of Indiana, of Nebraska, Kansas,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio
and other States has risen to high
value, and it is worth every dollar
asked for it. But there is not room
now for all on these lands. With the
ever increasing demand for grain,
there comes the ever increasing de-
mand for land. Canada is the only
country on the continent in position
to supply it. Land there that costs,
say fifteen dollars an acre, produces
on reasonable calculation, Is bushels
of wheat to the acre, or about $4,000.
The most liberal calculation as to cost
makes the cost to produce $3.50 per
acre, leaving a balance of $3.50 per
acre. The $3.50 carries good wages
for the farmer, and all other conceiv-
able contingencies. With conditions
like this, covering the entire area of
about 100000 square miles, it is read
lily understood why 10000 Americans
should follow the sixty thousand of
the previous year. Canadian Govern
ment Agencies at different points in
the Union are always ready to give in
formation regarding the free home
stead lands, ready to advise the set
tier as to the districts which would
suit him best.
