MISTAKEN IDENTITY

Last week policeman saw a man
acting suspiciou~ly on street In
Philadelphia and asked him what he
was doing there. The man said
waiting for girl. The policeman
told him to take his hands out Of his
overooat pockets He suddenly took
them out ana in one was a revolver
which he fired point blank twice at
the policeman, who caught the man
and a fight ensued. The policeman
fell and the man beat him over the
head with his pistol and then ran
away With his last remaining
strength the officer fred at the re-
treating form and the man fell shot
through the heart The officer died
soon after. Every effort was made
to identify the c-iminal, but without
success, until his supposed father
came on from Boston, saw the body
in the morgue and positively ideBti.
fed it as that of his son Hymen Vie
ner, and started back home with it
for burial. Within an hour after
the real Wiener appeared alive and
well and easily established the fact
that he was Wiener. We point the
above to prove how easily mistakes
are made and how uncertain even
the plainest cases may be made. Had
young Wiener seen proper to further
conceal himself it is possible the
body would have been buried IN Bos-
ton and the case closed with the idea
that he was the murderer of the
policeman.

The Presidents Message.

President Taft sent his annual
message to Congress Tuesday. Its
principal features are as follows:
BUSINESS LAWS He does ''not
now recommend any amendment TO
the antitrust law. 1t seems TO
me that the existing legislation with
reference to the regulation Of corpor-
ations and the restraint of their bust
ness has reached a point where we
can stop for a while and witness the
effect of the vigorous execution of tie
laws" The president says supreme
court decisions in pending cases win
show the exsct limitations placed on
business by the law.
TARIFF-General revision is oppos-
ed. Permanent tariff commission
and non-partisan revision by sched.
ule on a scientific basis is recon.
mended.
RAILRoADs-An appropriation is
urged for the Interstate commission
to make a valuation of all railroads
as important ''if we ultimately enact
any limitations upon the power to is
sue stocks and bonds.
CONsERvATIoN-Leasing of govern
ment coal lands, with royalties and
conditions TO prevent monopoly, is
recommended. Leasing of water.
power sites is likewise favored.
POSTAL LAws-Gradual extension
of postal savings banks recommend
ed; also establishing parcels post on
rural delivery routes. Increased post.
age on magazines strongly urged.
MERCHANT MARINE-Ship subsi.
dy, especially to South America, il
favored.
CoURTs-Reform of judicial pro
cedure, to lessen delay and cost o
litigation, is recommended.
LABoR-Mr. Taft asks that the
eight-hour- day bill be amended L
include work on ships, armor anC
heavy guns. Moon injunction bil
again urged.

HOW TO SUCCEED.

Baptist Church Incidentally "luck7

never did and never will exist.
There is no such thing as luck, .
DR.. Moore said, ssWhat seems like 3

riably the result Of conscious or IN
conscious preparation, frequently go
ing back for years"
A simple rule for success and ons
Which DR.. Moore declares Is infnlli
bic, was given ny him as follows;
''ro be a success is TO 50 live your
life that it shall cause no one to lose
faith in You or in the world"
Dr. Moore then said that there is
''nO sex in success "
'Succes, real success, he said ''is
almost a purely ideal thing. Nobody
goes so high that he desires to go no
higher. Men are Ike the skyscraper
a-chitects-they build up a twenty
story success and Immediately set r
work on a forty-story structure.
"Fame and prosperity are only 10
cidenial, not the essential accompani
ment Of success. IL 1 were to for
muIate a single rule for succeeding
in life l should say Find the work
YOU like best and then do it with all
your might"
DR.. Moore declared that the person
ioing work that he dislikes is bound
to fail.
"a rich man who made his mon-
~ in business, when a thousand
stified impulses were crying to him

said DR.. Moore, sis infinitely more Of
failure than some poor painter who
makes a bare living and perhaps
never will do any better.
Success in married life. DR.. Moore
said, was all based on the element Of
rust that must exist between hus-
band and wife.
"The unhappiness of married life
all goes back to g lack Of trust on the
part of either husband or wife" he
said. "The woman who, even ii
she does nothing technically wrong
acts in such a way as to shake hei
husbands faith in her, fails as s
wife.
"The man whose comings and 90
ings lay him open to suspicion, even
{ there is actually no fact to justify
the suspicion, fails as husband.
married people live successfully
when each can look back at the end
of the day and feel that no deed Of
his has injured the faith or feelings
Of the other.
"The qualities essential fol attain
ing the successful life are honor, 10y
atty, unselhshness, love of work and
cheerfulness. "

WINTER THOUGHTS

The winter robe Of white is spread
Oer meadows green,
The seeds are slumbering in their beds
No flowers are seen;
fhe birds to warmer climes have flown
There they will stay
Until the breath Of spring return
To make earth gay.
Nature is cold and cherries now
Plant life seems dead
But, no, beneath the frozen snow
IT'S nurtured, fed.
Soon saucily the little buds
Win ope and peep
Wen welcome them all back again
From their long sleep.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Counter-
felt $40 notes on the First National
Bank of Portland. Ore, are being

the National Bank of Los Angeles,
Cal, and the First National Bank of
Williamsport, Pa. The Williamsport
notes are being passed one the Pa
cihc coast and the Western notes are

SOME DAYS
M. c. Robbins.

Some days are filled with darkness,
Some with light
Some days are filled with sadness,
Some are bright
Some days are filled with gladness,
Some with tears
And some are filled with shadows,
Some with fears.
Some days the sunlight glitters,
All is joy
Life is the one thing we desire,
With no alloy
Some days the flowers blossom,
All is bright
There never could a shadow come,
Surely no night.
Some days our friends will greet us,
With much love
We feel that to us there has come
blessing from above
Some days we feel so like a bird
We want to try
To spread our wings exultlngly
And cleave the sky.
Some days are dark and sullen-
Gloom all around;
We look in vain for comfort,
None is found.
But those are days when we forget,
And try to stand
Our faith is weak we do not clasp
The thorn-torn hand.
But each day we have much,
For much Is given
To lead us through this life,
Towards God and Heaven.
| For all our trials here
Are but to teach
Patience while here we stay
And heaven 10 reach
