Kindness.

There is nothing like kindness in
the world. 1t is the very principle
of love; an emanation of the heart
which softens and gladdens, and
should be inculcated and encourage
ed in all our intercourse with our
fellow beings 1t is impossible to
resist continued kindness. We may
in a moment of petulance or pas
sion, manifest GOODNESS to the ex-
hibition of good will on the part of
new acquaintance; but let him
persist, let him continue to prove
himself really benevolent of heart,
generously and kindly disposed
and we will find our stubborn nat
ure giving way, even unconsciously
to ourselves. If this be the result
of kindness among comparative
strangers, how much more certain
and delightful will be the exercise
of the feelings at home, within the
charmed circle of friends and rela-
tives? Home enjoyments, home
affections, home cOurtesies cannot
be too carefully or steadily cult
waited. They form the sunshine of
the heart. They bless and sanctify
our private circle. They become a
source of calm delight to the man,
of business after a day of toll, they
teach the merchant, the trader, the
working man, that; there is some
thing purer, more precious even
than the gains of industry. They
Irvine themselves around the heart,
call forth its best and pureSt emo
tons and resources, enable US to be
more virtuOus, more upright, more
christian, in all relations of life.
We see in the little beings around
us the elements of fidelity and re-
ligion. A day of toll is robbed of
many of its cares by the thought
that in the evening we may return
home and mingle with the family
household. Elk.

To Cool A Room

Produce a small zinc-lined tank
holding from two to three gallons
of ice and salt, and put in about a
half pint of ammonia. This tank
can be placed in a corner of the
room, occupying very little space,
and drip pan put under it to
catch the water condensed by the
heat of the room. This process of
condensation is quite rapid, and
will very quickly reduce ternpera-
.ture. The larger the room the
larger the tank. and vice versa.
The practicabihty of this scheme
has been tested, and it is simple
clean and inexpensive. The tank
will have to be replenished but once
a day, except when the weather is
extremely warm. New York Times

The Last Rose of Summer.

IT'S the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone;
No flower of her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh,
To reflect back her bushes
Or give sigh for sigh.
I'll not leave thee, thou lone one!
To pine on the stem;
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou with them.
Thus kindly l scatter
Thy leaves DER the bed,
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead.
So soon may | follow
When friendships decay,
And from Loves shining circle
The gems drop away.
When true hearts lie withered
And fond ones are flown,
Oh, who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?

Don't Kill the Toad.

Prof. Washburn of the Minnesota
division of Entomology at Universe
ty Farm, finds toads to be friends
of the farmers. They feed entirely
upon an incredible number of in
sects. The federal department of
agriculture, investigating the toad,
discovers the startling fact that in
twenty-four hours the insect food
consumed by one toad equals in
quality four times the capacity of
its stomach, which is practically
filed and emptied four times every
twenty-four hours. One hundred
fifty-nine stomachs examined show
ed a content. of 10 per cent of ants;
16 per cent of cut worms; 10 per
cent of thousand legged worms; 8
per cent of caterpillars; 8 per cent
of ground beetles; 5 per cent of de-
structlve weevles; 8 per cent of
grasshoppers, together with crickets,
spiders, SOW bugs. potato BUGS, and
a miscellaneous lot of other insects.

Who Paid for RooSevelt's Tour?


Come to think of it, the Dakota
farmer who asked Roosevelt who
was paying the expenses of his
Pullman train with fifty-five news
paper correspondents aboard pro-
pounded a most pertinent and
pointed question. Who is paying
the bills, anyway? Roosevelt says
the expense is being paid by the
magazine The Outlook, of which he
is editor. The colonel had his fin
gers crossed when he said that. The
enor nous expense of a
Pullman train running all over the
continent with a retinue of CORE
spOndents, servants. train crew and
supplies, amounting to many thous-
and dollars, could hardly be afford
ed by a magazine publication, so
the Dakota farmer insisted that the
people of the, United States are
paying the expenses of the Roose-
welt train. In tbs long run it may
be found that the Dakota farmer is
Anyhow, it will take Ted

Both Criticized the Court.

When Bryan criticized the Su-
preme court and denounced the
malefactors of great wealth and the
government policy under which
they rob the people, he was de-
nounced as a wild-eyed demagogue.
But when Teddy does the stunt
much fiercer and more ferocious
than Bryan, he is hailed as a cham
pion of the peoples rights. With
some the fact that Bryan was
known to be honest and sincere in
his statements, while there must
always be great latitude given to
Teddy's expressed views, makes a

REPORT OF COMMITTEE
AT BIG MEETING THURSDAY

The report of the committee will be
made at a special mass meeting of the
citizens of Albuquerque called for
Thursday night at the Commercial

North Fourth street road which can
be made a magnificent boulevard
with very little difficulty. Work on

made the seventeen miles from Santa

minutes and could have cut the time
in half If so desired. You can go just
as fast as you want to with perfect
