fyADIsG TIE POSTAL BANK LAW.

During the recent session of Congress. the Republicans were finally induced, after a severe lash ing by their constituents, to pass a bill for the establishment of postal savings banks. This was one of the blanks in the Republican plat form, on which Taft was elected, and if the constituencies of these congressman had not been persis- tent in their demands, congress would have yielded to the threats, arguments and questionable means employed by the bank trust of the country to defeat the bill.
 As an evidence of the absolute subserviency of the present admin istration to the powerful trusts and monopolies of the country, this most beneficial act is being largely mullifed by the unnecessary delay in putting the measure into opera tion. From all oyer the country people are clamoring for the estab- lishment of these banks, as a guar antee of deposits, and yet the President and Postmaster General are giving as little attention to this matter as possible. They hate the law because Bryan forced them to it. Statistics show that in Great Britain alone, that little island. which is no larger than Texas, the people have deposited more than one billion dollars in the Govern ment Postal Savings Banks. The great success in England only shows what a tremendous good these banks accomplish, when they are operated by the government in the interest of the small saver.

HIS PERIODS OF RELAXATION.
Brtain's Great Prime Minister Had the Gift of Occasionally Forget
 ting Cares of Office.

Some one says, Unhappy is the man who cannot fool He who can not descend from his pedestal of great ness and play is indeed to be pitIed The change from rollicking gaiety to awesome dignity is not always so ab- rupt nor so plainly seen, however, as that described by William Toynbee, in MT. Pitt in Private Life" an article published in the Westminster Review.
 That great statesman, upon whose word so many tremendous issues hung, was in the habit of retiring to his country house for seasons of relaxa- tion. There he dropped his character of august prime minister and became for the time romping schoolboy.
 One day he had been skylarking with his young friends. He rushed Into every fray with the ardor of the youngest present. When the fun was most furious a servant entered the room and informed the prime minis ter, who was eoatless and embellished with burnt cork, that Lords Hawkes. bury and Castlereagh had arrived from London on important business.
 Ask them to wait" remarked Pitt, and proceeded with the game. When that was finished, Pitt said that he must attend to the two noble lords, and retired to his dressing room to re- pair damages. Presently he returned and a remarkable transformation took place.
 Standing in the middle of the room. the prime minister drew himself up to full height of unapproachable dignity To the astonishment of the young people present the two lords came into the room almost on their hands and knees, and with abject obsequiousness explained the object of their visit.
 MT. Pitt listened with an air of dis tant hauteur, and with sentence or two dismissed his noble guests Youths Companion.

These things have convinced the country that the Republican party is reek- ing with corruption and that it is time to turn it out of power. and put honest Democrats in office.

The Hen and the Mule.

It has long been claimed that the mule is the most obstinate and con, trary of all creatures with which man has to deal, but now the New York Tribune comes to the front with the assertion that the hen can give the mule two in the game and beat it in contrariness. It brands the hen as "a stubborn fowl, who keeps her eyes on the market reports and resolutely refuses to lay more than one egg a week when the price is high, doing her best work when the price is under 20 cents a dozen" We believe the Tribune does the hen great injustice in this matter. We believe her to be a better friend to the consumer of eggs than to act in any such bad manner On the contrary. we believe that in varying her productiveness she tries to aid instead of injure man kind. If she goes on a strike or cur. tails production it is solely when resting after a bold attempt to pre- vent the cold storage man from get ting the upper hand of the market and upsetting the natural law of sup ply and demand.

tariff reforn1ers insisted that Mr.. Carlisle
deprive Randall of his craftsmanship and

but Carlisle's mind was emnently judi
cal. He weighed the matter accurately
and concluded that 1t was bad policy. He
remembered what damage had come to

lonely SORROW unconscious of such
calumny? There is no doubt that she
would stop to make a reply or defend
herself if such gossip ever reached her
ears.
And why this wholesale abuse of moth

there any decency in it? As a general
thing loving kindness begets loving kind

a kind daughter-in-law makes kind

Young people are very impressionable
and when a girl Is entering her teens and
can scarcely open a new novel or maya
zine which is not filed with stories of
cruel sisters, brothers, parents, sons and
daughters, 1t is a sad commentary on our
floating literature. And oftener than
otherwise the lash falls heavily upon

poisoned and receives a prejudiced opin-
Ion of this very important relationship?
And "'Tis true, tits pity, and pity tbs It's
true" that this distorted opinion is often
encouraged by weak-minded associates
and would-be friends.
Thus often after marriage this inocu-
lated and cultivated feeling of suspicion
creates q jealousy for the young wife's

unnecessary unhappiness. And what of
