The Democratic members were not ready

The Democratic members quote approx

Carger. professor Of political economy
at Harvard, In which he says. "A stu

course in economies in Harvard Univer-

are contained in this (majorlty) report
This is a perfectly clear case Of putting
the cart before the horse. Every student
OF economies knows that the high price
Of land is not a cause but the effect Of
the high price OF farm products" Prof.
Carger was dissenting from the conclu-

Choosing Ones Work.

This matter of choosing ones life
work is one of the severest tasks a
person has to meet. Many men do
not find their spheres of greatest USE
fitness until middle age, while others
neye find them. Education ought
to help one to find his true sphere.
The great difficulty with so many
young people is they show an adapta-
bility to too many things; they be-
come what their fellows or instruc-
tors call versatile. The versatile man
sometimes is the worst handicapped
man. He can do a dozen things fairly
well and he spends his time between
them, scattering his fire, instead of
concentrating on one object a single
purpose and learning to do that in
the aggregate better than he could do
each of the eleven. The man who,
with a bent for music, can play half
a dozen instruments, is not nearly SO
likely to play as well as the man who
becomes expert in the use of but one.
The versatile man is seldom more
than an amateur, being kept out OF
the professional class simply because
he has never learned to concentrate
his full powers on n thing. Young
men and women must look out for
these pitfalls. The only talent that
ever accomplishes anything worth
while is that trained along a certain
definite, fixed line.-Omaha Bee.

Canse Of His Delay.

John ]. Vertrees, who defended the
Secretary of the Interior in the Con-
gressional investigation of the Balm
ger-Pinchot row, vas at one time
chairman of the State Democratic
Committee Of Tennessee. During his
incumbency of this Office, the report
came to him one election day hat a
ballot box in a certain precinct was
being stuffed in an open and disgrace
full manner. Mr.. Vetrees Immediate
ly called In one of his lieutenants.
"Dick," he said, "the ballot box In
blank precinct is being stuffed, ac-
cording to reports 1 have just re-
ceived. We want no such scandal in
our party. Go and Investigate the
situation"
Dick, who was an ardent Democrat
just as Vertrees was, remained away
for three hours. So long and mex
plainable was his absence that his SUI
perior sent for him.
whats the matter, Dick?" asked
V~ertrees. What kept you so long?"
well, Mr.. Vertrees," said Dick
triumphantly. 1T was SO easy l hat

A Careless Pedestrian.

Even the Oldest inhabitant will lose
his bearings if he tries to find his way
through that dim country which lies
owe against the north side of the
Union station. Last week an old resi-
dent of the city, who is employed in
the new Senate building, tried a short
cut across the tracks north of the sta
ton to his home on North Capitol
street. He was walking with gaze
bent upon the ground before him
when a gruff voice called:
"Here, come down off there.
What're you doing on that roof?"
The old resident lifted his eyes to
find himself looking down over the
brink of a precipice at a man stand
ing in a street twenty feet below.
81 though I vas going home he
said c%onfusedly, "but 1 don't seem to
be on my way"
Come on down through the trap
doorl" interrupted the man in the
street. I'VE don't allow trespassers
on that roof"
"Well, you ought to ave a sign
to tell a man when he's on the ground
and when he's on a roof" retorted the
old resident. "All dirt looks alike to
me-"
He found, on descending, that he
had unconsciously walked from the
tracks onto a fiat glavel roof flush
with the track level. 1t covered one
of the many warehouses built up
against the retaining wall of the great
causeway that carries the tracks

After fifteen months absence, exactly IS scheduled, Colonel theodore
Roosevelt disembarked from the Kaisenn Auguste Victoria, Saturday morn
ing. June Is, at II a. M. To the keen disappointment o a large group o
newspaper correspondents. Mr.. Roosevelt absolutely refused, IS ere.oIor

lions showed the same vile interest in public affairs Is before.
If the welcome rendered by the vast throng may be considered a
criterion upon which Ito base a "return from Elba," surely there raj no dis
cordant note in the immense recepion-parade, nor in the wildly ciamorous
crowd which cheered 1T every glimpse and hung o n his very word.

moment the Roosevelt family and immediate party landed, they were
whisked away in White Steamers to the home of Mr.. Douglas Robinson 1t

preference for the motor cal in general and the White cars in particular,
when he, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Collector Loeb transferred from their
carriage to White Steamers, which were in waiting for them.
After luncheon at Mr.. Robnsons house, the entire party, including
Colonel Roosevelt, again entered the White carsan we're driven to Long

TroubIe at Oil City.

A freight train ran over a u
above Oil City last week and the ca
bose of the train was left a the
Union Station in that town. The odor
of the dead skunk soon reached the
sleeping rooms of the hotels in the
vicinity of the station and there was a
persistent call to the night porters
by guests who believed the gas pipes
had broken loose and there was dam
ger of their being asphyxiated. Pas
sengers on the early morning express
trains which stopped to change en-
gines thought the noxious scent arose
from the oil refneries. The railroad
men whose duty calls them to the sta
tion were too busy keeping out OF the
windward of the fragments of the
dead animal that plastered the run
ming gear of the caboose to undeceive
the misguided travellers as to the real
nature of the odor and the fair repu-
tation of Oil City for purity of air and
agreeable surroundings was blasted
by the reports these travellers made Of
conditions that encountered them
while they were en- route through the
city from Buffalo to Pittsburg.-

Vacation Schools.

Vacation schools offer not a task,
but a privilege to those pupils who
attend, and that it is so regarded APP
plications and waiting lists show.
More would-be pupils apply than can
possibly be accommodated. Book
learning is not the mode at the vaca-
ton school, where the nor social
method of oral instruction with DEM
o%nstration takes its place, since en-
tertainment as well as instruction is
the aim, and pupils are introduced to
a form of knowledge which will give
them new for their leisure
hours. Instead of memorizing or por-
ing over figures the eager classes are
given manual training, cooking
classes, sewing, gymnastics, and, best
of all, are taken to the parks or the
country once a week for nature study,
or to vacant lots to learn something
about flower and vegetable garden

morning, in company with his host.
Lord Arthur Savile, he took a walk
over the preserves.
Suddenly Lord Arthur, a big, bur

a shabby fellow with a dead pheasant
protruding from the breast of his
coat.
"'Sir,' said Lord Arthur to the
king, this fellow is a bad egg. This
is the second time I've caught him
poaching.'

beamed, and he laughed his gay and
tolerant laugh.

really were a bad egg, you know, he
