CLEVER AUNT CLARA.
(By Temple Balley)


When Dorotheas aunt came Tor
her long promised visit, she was sur
prsed TO find Dorothea washing the
dishes
why don't you let the other girls
DO it, she demanded?
Dorothea. hesitating to cordepn
her stepsiste.s. said that they did not
ike TO ruin their finge nails.
What about your finger nails?
Aunt Clara asked
Dorothea took TWO red. lough llttie
hands out of the water They are
ruined, anyhow, she said
well, now am here" her aunt
decided, you are not going 10 wash
the dishes. I'll hire a maid and YOU
are going around with me. Wen see
everything that is worth seeing
IDS ethea shook her aead. I'm
afraid they won't like IT, she said.
MY stepmother thinks that a maid
makes more work.
That night Aunt Clara broached
the subject of more help. She was
not sure that she liked her brothers
new wife. but she meant TO be pleas
ant to her and her two daughters,
She simply stated that size wanted to
see great deal OF Dorothea and that
II would be best, thef efore, to get
some one to do the work.
Aunt Clara was rich, and II seemed
best not TO cross her so the maid
was secured and Dorothea was free,
The first thing that Aunt Clara did
was to take her TO the shops. She
fitted her out with everything in che
way of pretty summer clothes. There
was an exquisite shite embroidered
gown, which cost SO much that Doio-
thea gasped.

some questions of the stepmother
and her daughters. They admitted
that there had been Young man
but that ne was poor and Dorothea
was young, and besides they needed
her at home.
Aunt Clara went up to her room
and wrote a letter. She was a wise
old woman and she knew that love
was better than riches Besides she
had plenty of money, and if Dorothea
wished TO marry a poor prince she
should have him.
1t was week before the answer

spoke of the big lawn party that she
intended to give. The house was
too small. she argued. to hold many
guests, but a temporary relreshmenl
tent could be put up on sne lawn
and, as money can do everything
the place could be quite transformed
for the occasion.
She told Dorothea to wear the EN-

must come to the conclusion that
Clark might well express the oft
quoted phrase attributed to one Of
our great departed, viz, The tariff?

Clark is a politician pure and simple.
A shrewd one, too, but his kind seldom
fool the people more than once in
generation All the voter needs IS ex-
perience and a little time TO collect
his thoughts, and the Clarks are ex-
ploded

are not given to the public in a spec.

hown in the annual reports made up
at the end Of the fiscal year 1t will
be well then for those critics who
have seen fit to find fault with their

been benefited by wise administra

The commission appointed by the
Massachusetts legislature to investi.
gate the cost of living, reports that
the tariff has nothing to do with the
increase of prices. incidentally the
report adds that the extension of
Canadian reciprocity in the matter of
manufactures is inexpedient at the
present time. Really! This might be
called news delayed in transmission"
For at least ten years it has been en-.

that under no circumstances could

For Proper Care of tuberculosis.

According to the National Associa.
tion for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis, New York state leads
in the number of beds for consump.
tives provided up TO May /, with 5,476
beds: Massachusetts is second with
2,403 beds; Pennsylvania, third, with
2,S47 beds; Colorado, fourth, with / ,4S9
beds; and New Mexico fifth. with
l,lO4 beds. AS yet, not one state in
the country has made adequate pro-
vision for its consumptiyes. New
York has set itself the task of having
mo uncared-for tuberculosis in 1915"
and several cities in other parts of
the country have adopted similar pro-
grams. The national association
says that tuberculosis will not be
stamped out until all cases OF this
disease are cared for either I'm their
homes or ia institutions With this
end In view. efforts will be made 10
increase the number OF hospital beds
in this country TO at least 80. 900 By

SURE TO BE WRONG
REPRESENTATIVE ADAMSoN A
TRUE DEMOCRAT.
His Position in Opposition to Pending
Legislation an Excellent Ex-
ample of the Methods of
His Party.

Verify It is a hard task to fathom
the processes of the Democratic mind
The only safe theory seems to be that
If there is wrong way of going about
anything, that is the way the Demo-
crat is going to adopt.
Witness the performances of Rep
resentative Adamson of Georgia. Mr.
Adamson, an earnest Democrat, is a
member of the house committee on in
terstate commerce, and in such capac-
ity he is opposing the presidents COM
merce bill.
AS near as can be discovered, Mr..
Adamson's objections are based chief
ly on the ground that the bill is an eX-
ecution of certain Democratic prin-
ciples and policies.
The provision as to initiating an in
quiry into the rates and practises the
president borrowed from the Demo
cratic leaders," asserts Mr.. Adamson.
He also says, "the president has bor-
rowed from the Democratic platform
the suggestion that the commission
may arrest a rate before it goes into
effect"
Naturally the average citizen, un-
versed in Democratic ratiocination
will inquire why these facts should en-
bitter Democrat against the bill. 1t
would seem, rather, that they should
inspire him to advocate ii and to lend
his influence to it's early adoption.
For, surely, measures urged by the
revered Democratic platform and ad-
vocated by the estimablc Mr.. Bryan
must be good for the country, even
though an unkind fate has decreed
that they should be advanced by a
Republican president.
There is a pretty vigorous demand
on the part of the people, regardless
of party, for the passage of the legis-
lation mapped out by President Taft.
If he has borrowed some of his ideas
from the Democratic party. so much
the better for the party. 1t will give
its orators something tangible to talk
about on the hustings next fall But
opposition to the measures, predicted
on such astonishing grounds as those
of Mr. Adamson will make no friends
for him or his party.

THEORY OPPOSED TO FACTS
Have Little Effect on the
Country.
Said Mr.. Eoss:

Said Mr.. Foss:
To-day millions of our people are
deprived of comfort and health, and
even of life, by the so-called protect
I've tariff on wool and woolens for the
benefit of the sheep ranches and wool
en- trusts"
Certainly we have heard pretty
much the same cry before. Wasn't 1t
issuing with strong lungs from Massa-
chusetts? Yes, yes, to be sure. Give
us free hides and cheap shoes" That
was the way the battle cry" ran
Give us free hides and cheap shoes"
Today millions are deprived of COM
fort and health by the protective tar
iff on hides, and so on.
Well, what happened? The very
tariff bill which Mr.. Foss now assails
placed hides on the free list Surely
the cheap shoes" followed? Not a
bit of it. Hides, leather and-shoes
are higher than ever.
Something seems to be askew with
the theory of Mr.. Foss. But that is
not singular. Theory frequently goes

facts.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Sees Roosevelt's Position Plain.

Mr.. Roosevelt is bound by force OF
circumstances as well as by the logic
of the situation not only to decline alb.
solutely any efforts that may be made
in his own behalf, but to give his ac.
tive hearty support TO President Taft
and to stand by him to the end. No.
body can justly accuse President Taft
of not making an honest, sincere eff.
fort to carry out the spirit of the
Roosevelt policies, and under all the
accepted rules and customs of politics
this entities him to the support of the
Roosevelt followers in obtaining a re.
nomination.--Kansas City Journal
