A woman can't whip man, but she
can look at him in a certain way, and
hurt him worse than a whipping
would.
All the various and novel ways of
making money for church are really
nothing more than new sugar coat

If the girl in love obeyed her natural
instinct. she would shut up the man to
whom she is engaged, in a cage: not
for exhibition purposes, but to keep
other girls from seeing him. When
he is safely landed and is painting for
breath on the bank. then other women
may see him, but only at respectful
distance.
People who sit on their front porch

people passing. If you are one of
those passing you will be talked
about. If the remarks are confined to
making fun of your clothes. you are
lucky, but your name is bound to be
tossed around by every porch crowd
you pass.-Atchison (kan.) Globe.

Parcels Post.

The people are discussing the parcels

sent the opposition of those who are
against the proposition for purely sell
fish reasons There seems to be little
doubt but that a parcels post would
ena Bile the people to buy small articles
wherever they found the best prices
and that the transportation cost would
be 50 small that the big stores would
enter into sharper competition with the
smaller ones. That is the generally &C
cepted opinion. al least.

Save the Eastern Forests.

Why is it that everyone thinks of
the West the moment conservation of
resources is mentioned? Are all our
forests on the slopes OF the Rocky
mountains? Are there no water pow
ers. no rivers. no sheds. no min
eral deposits. in the East? Isn't il
about time that the states along the
Atlantic coast looked a little deeper
into this matter and found out whittier
they are being led?
There is Just as much need of the
wooded areas in the eastern states as
there is in the west. in fact to lay
man, there would appear to be more
stream in this part of the country are
industries already established, which
represent an enormous outlay of capt.
tai and give steady employment To mil
liens of operatives at excellent wages.
Anything which tends to interrupt the
prosperity of those industries is Il Sc
rious menace to the prosperity of the
whole country. Those industries are
endangered by the indiscriminate cut
ting of timber on the watersheds of
the rivers. which supply these indus
tries with power.
Some means should be employed to
preserve that greatest or all resources
for manufacturing community, its
cheap power. 1t is all right to cry out
against more or less imaginary trust
when is supposed to be gohbling up
ali tie available powers for its own
profit. hut the worst administration of
those powers by a trust could hardly
dc the harm that will be wrought if
tho cutting Of timber on the water
sheds is not curtailed In the one we
would still have the waterpowers
owned and exploited by private inter
este for private gain; in the other there
would not be any power worth owning
at ALL
1t is time to save the forests in that
part of the country, too.

Better Records.

American railways are paying more
attention to the lives placed in their
keeping than ever before The criti-
ciem of a railroad policy which permit
passengers each year. finally became so
widespread. and the feeling of resent
nent against the railroads became so
acute. that it finally became good bust
ness to reduce the number of fatal ac-
cidcnts. 1t is within a comparatively
short time that one road considered a
clean slate without a single fatal ac-
cident upon it. of sufficient importance
to advertise il far and wide. Evident
now we find all the roads scrambling
to DC counted in the clean-slate class.
No matter why the roads are trying to
reduce the number of accidents. the
public is better off for the movement.
A recent report of the bureau of rail-
way news and statistics shows that
of the 1868 roads reporting to the bu
reau, 347 operating 151,631 miles OF
track and carrying during the year
570,r17,a6" passengers worried through
the year without killing anybody. OF
the remaining p, ten reported one IA
tality each. Such q showing is graft
flying in the extreme. yet one cannot
bur wonder which roads did not report
and why they withheld the informa-
ton sought. IT is easy to understand
why The roads with clean states re-
ported, but what of the Others
England has polted considerable un-
favorable criticism una r lncle sam $
skin "a this matlIr. Ev'ryon" VIII"
has thought il necessary to write on
English record with pride and TO the
Alae,ican record with reproach and
corn. At first sight it appears that
orr critic had all the best "f ii aud W"
nave been inclined To accept his state
,nentS at their face value. II happens
10 be a fact, however that there are
about One-sevrnth as many miles of
track in England as are represented in
Americas new honor class among the
railroads. that is, England would be
obliged 10 keep a clean slate for seven
years i'm order To equal the American
record
other interesting facts brought out
by the report give further cause for
congratulation. From 1904 to 1909 in
elusive Il railroads, operating 9.641
miles of track did not have a single
fatality. There We're 81! roads. operat-
ing 44,s94 miles of track, which have
kept a clean slate for five years. There
were III roads. operating -, 33l miles,
that did not have one fatality for four
roads, operating G9.!3 miles. that did
not have a fatality in three years.
There were 2S1 roads, operating 1851
miles. that did rot have one fatality
for two years; and 347 roads. operating
1896 miles that did not have a single
fatality during the last fiscal year.
1t Is u truly remarkable record Of
| uhich all Americans may we'll be
proud. 1t helps us to hope that the
day when the 'inevtable accident" re-
ply was made to all criticism Of rail-
way butcherics. is gone forever.
