APPROVE ALDRICH BILIA-Senator
Aldrich is greatly pleased with the extern
sive editorial approval OF his proposition to
create a committee to consider and revise
the business of the government. The Sen
ator has received many clippings and
marked copies of editorials expressing ap-
prevail of his bill and urging its adoption
in some form. Some of these editorials ex-
press doubt as to Mr.. Aldrich's estimate
that as much as $500, 100000 q year can be
saved by the adoption of strict business
methods but all indicate desire that the
proposed committee be created and given
authority to conduct an investigation and
frame recommendations TO the end that
the greatest saving possible may be eff
fected. e. U. ii.

PANAMA BONDS-To the intense graft
fcatiou Of Secretary MacVeagh, the House
Committee on Banking and Currency has
ordered a favorable report on the Vreeland
hill eo1lalizing the rate Of taxation on cir
cuIation secured by the proposed Panama
bonds with that secured by per cents and
other issues Through an oversight no
,,rovision was made when the Panama
bonds were authorized for any higher rate
Of taxation on circulation secured by them
than is imposed that secured by the
per cents, although the Secretary of the
Treasury was empowered to pay in his
discretion. as high as per cent interest on
the new Panama ISSUE DSCduoS VI the dis
elimination which such issue would prove
against the existing Is, Secretary Mac
Veagh has thus far refused to avail him
self of the authority to reimburse the
Treasury for disbursements made for the
canal by a new Panama issue, but has
called the attention Of the leaders to the
advisability of equalizlng the rate OF taxa
ton on circulation secured by the respective
issues BY the terms of the Vreeland bill
circulation secured by bonds paying more
than per cent interest will be taxed one
half of / per cent more a year than that
secured by the Is. If the Senate passes this
bill its approval will doubtless be followed
by an early issue of Panama bonds.
MAY ASK PROOF.-When the sub-com-
r1ittee of the House Committee on Naval
Affairs began consideration to-day OF sew
eral measures whereby it is proposed to
honor Commander Peary the discoverer
of the North Pole question was raised as
to what evidence Congress had that the
pole had been discovered and that Peary
was the discoverer No decision was
reached although the committee debated
the question for some time, and it Is re-
ga rded a. quite possible that some proofs
viii be called for before action is taken
The measure which seems to meet with the
most favorable consideration of the sub
committee is the Loud BILL which would
grant Peary an annuity of 5000 beginning
with his retirement mid which would ex-
tend to him the thanks of Congress for his
services as an explorer 1t may be that the
only action taken with regard to proofs
will be to ask the Navy Department. if it
is satisfied that Peary made the discovery

LITTLE MOLLIE WILLIS.

I want you to read GA Little Sunbeam, the
life-story of little hero shut-in friend She has
been helpless invalid all her life; never walked
one step. She is "A years old and weighs about
As pounds. Her parents are dead, and she has
been in bed since June, 1907 The book contains
200 pages, and has the picture of herself and
loved ones, 1t costs dollar in CLOTH and SO
cents in paper cover; postage cents. Her pho
tograph, cabinet size here reproduced, costs 25
cents. Little Mollie is in every way worthy of
your help.
Here is part of the introduction to the book:
Think of her! Weighing, l suppose about forty
pounds, unable to walk step, sick and suffering
much of the time; yet working day in and day
out, with deft and artistic hands, making book
marks and badges, trinkets and curios which she
offers for sale; and finally, with little education
and that meager mite self-acquired, she plucky
addresses herself to the composition and com
pilation of this vOlume-a task (three times
written with her own hand) which has required
perseverance superby heroic and a marvel of
patience-as touching it is beautiful! What
a spectacle of industry! What inspiration to
others who are called like her, to pass under
the rod" And what a rebuke ringing like
trumpet-call, to those who, strong in body and
otherwise equipped for life are inclined to trem-
BILE at molehils and faint at mountains of diff

Rules of Sleep.

Those who think most, who do most
brain work, require most sleep, and
time saved" from necessary sleep is
infallibly destructive to mind, body
and estate. Give yourself, your chill
dren, your servants-give all that are
under you-the fullest amount of sleep
they will take by compelling them to
go to bed at some regular early hour
and to rise in the morning the moment
they awake, and within fortnight ma
ture, with almost the regularity of the
rising sun, will unloose the bonds of
sleep the moment enough repose has
been secured for the wants Of the sys-
TEN. That is the only safe and sutf1-
cient rule, and. as to the question how
much sleep any one requires, each
must be rule for himself. Great ma
ture will never fail to write it out to
the observer under the regulations lust
given.--London Globe.

Notes on Speed.

The Maximum speed acquired by the
average person in swimming comfort
ably is thirty nine inches a second,
while oarsmen in an eight cared boat
acquire q speed of 1877 inches in Sec
ond. Skaters average from nine to
ten yards a second. The horse can
gallop six miles in an hour for con-
siderable length of time. The swift
est dog in the world, the borzoi, or
Russian Wolfhound, has made record
runs at the rate of seventy-five feet in
second, while the gazelle has shown
measured speed of more than eighty
feet a second, which would give it a
speed of 1880 feet in a minute if it
could keep it up. The whale struck
by a harpoon has been known to dive
at the rate of 300 yards a minute A

dering falcon flies from north Africa

One night when the Earl of Stanhope
was walking alone in the kentish
lanes man jumped out of the hedge,
leveled pistol and demanded his
purse.

with me-" said Lord Stanhope in his
remarkably slow tones. The robber
laid hands on his watch.

watch you must not have. 1t was Civ

f1OO. If you will trust me, 1 will go
back to Chevening and bring f1OO
note and place it. in the hollow of that
tree cannot hose my watch"
The man did thrust him. The earl did
bring the note. Years after Lord Stan
hope was at a city dinner, and next to
him sat a London alderman of great
wealth, a man widely respected. He
and the ear talked of many things
and found each other mutually enter
tanning
Next day Lord Stanhope received q
letter, out of which dropped a f1OO
note. cit was your lordship's kind
loan of this sum- said the letter, that
started me in life and enabled me to
have the honor of sitting next to your
lordship at dinner"

are a strange race, and things happen
to them that never did or could occur
