Many of the weaker fish, espec-

they sleep safely. Otherwise their
slumber would end between bigger
fish's jaws.

Taft Watching Ohio.

Rockland, Me, July 26.-President
Taft has his eyes on Columbus, o.,
where the candidates will be named
who, it is hoped, will check the presi-
dental ambition of Governor Judson
Harmon. The president will be in di-

day and tomorrow, and it will be easy
for him to send telegram to Column

of deadlock.
The presidents personal choice for
the nomination is Congressman Nlcho-
las Longworth, but he will be satisfied
with any candidate with the possible
exception of James Il. Garfield, whose
nomination would be a direct slap at

No Soft Bed for Him.

There is an immensely rich man in
New York who never slept on bed
or eiderdown, goose feathers, felt,
hair or excelsior. When a boy, ho
slept on pallet of straw When a
young man his bed was an old-fash-
toned shuck mattress in the making
of which he assisted to the extent
OF sorting the shucks. In the army
(1S61-'65) he was glad to sleep on
the ground. Later, as a civil engi-
neer, he reposed on a puncheon; and
now, rolling in wealth, goes to bed
every night on trundle bed which
he bought from his aged "nigger
nanny" This affair is not over
fourteen inches high, and is corded
up with half-inch hemp. There Is
no mattress, and of course there are
no springs. A rag quilt covers the
ropes, another covers his body as he
sleeps. His health is superb.-New

House Keeping Helps.

Here is an excellent prepare
ton for cleaning furniture: To
quart bottle nearly full of warm
water, add tablespoonful of
alcohol and a tablespoonful of
olive oil; shake thoroughly until
well mixed, and use plentifully
in cleaning the furniture; rub
we'll with a dry flannel after APP
plying, and it will remove all soil.
For cane-seated chairs that
have become darkened, use a So
luton of oxalic acid and water
a teaspoonful of the acid to a
quart of water. Scrub the fur
niture hard with this mixture,
using a stiff brush, rinse imme-
diately with clean water to pre-
vent the action of the acid on
the cane, and the color will be
restored, with the seat frightened.
To clean upholstered furniture,
cover the material with a towel
and whip with a rattan; then
brush the upholstered parts very
hard, and wipe quickly with a
cloth wrung out of clear hot
water. Follow this with clean
white flannel dipped in alcohol.
AS soon as the flannel shows
dirt, wash clean in tepid water;
if this is not done, the alcohol
will dissolve the dirt and deposit
it in streaks on the surface of
the fabric. Clear alcohol lightly
used with the flannel wrung as
dry as possible will not hurt the
most delicate fabric.

Time Thieves.

Did it ever occur to you that to
steal a busy mans time is to
steal his money? Incidently the
time thief takes that which
nought enriches him.
The man who comes into the
busy mans office and spends a
couple of hours destroys about
one fourth the average busy
mans days work. 1t must be
made up at times inconvenient
to the man who suffers the loss
or it is lost completely.
Some persons who steal the
time of others act as if they were
awaiting a moving van to cart
them out. Generally speaking
they are not doing much good in
the world themselves. Their in
ference with the work of others
clogs the wheels of industry.
Another way of stealing time
is to fail to be punctual in your
engagements. Mark Twain used
to say that the man who is pune
tual loses half of his life waiting
for the fellow who is not. That
is one way of looking at 1.-THE
humorist's way-but the reverse
side of the picture shows the
man who is not punctual as a
thief Of the time Of others.
Some time thieves who steal
your time when you ought to be
at work are most agreeable.
They manage to be sufficiently
so to keep from being pushed out
of the door. But the un-purctual
Individual has no such redeeming
qualities. He damages your dis
position when he keeps you wait
ing.
Moths is not aimed at any
body. But think it over. Is il
not better to employ your time,
proftably or pleasurably as you
will, without stealing that Of
