''The one thing you have to do" says Ruskin, Ifs to make a clear voiced little instrument of yourself. which other people can depend upon entirely for the note wanted.
 How far many of us have swung away from this simple standard or living in these days of much com plexity and hurrying to and ITO! How few can really say that they express in their lives some one thing. that some strong trait of individual ity stands out head and shoulders above everything else in their char acter,
 Most of us rush about. hurrying through our daily work, giving much attention, and some worry, to the matter of clothes, seeing new plays. inviting friends to cards and teas, but in all these matters. for any one thing in which we differ from our neighbor. Miss Smith might just as well be Miss Jones, Mrs. Black be Mrs. Brown. Few cultivate any one note that is of use to the world.
 But if a girl wants to be a force in her realm she should stand for some one thing. She should. as Ruskin says, make a clear-yoiced little instrument of herself" that will always sound truly some one note oi melody to sweeten the worlds dis cord. It may be sincerity. It may be dependableness. It may be kind ness. There are scores of notes tha need to be sounded clearly and in sisteutly. Each girl has some ont that best expresses herself. Let hel find it. and let the world know that can sls Ruskin says, depend upol her entirely for her note"

ALDRICH AT
 HEADQUARTERS.

Quite an important conference was held on J. Pierpont Morgan's yacht Corsair, off Newpart. R. L. recently.
 It is understood that Morgan's guests included Senator Nelson w. AIdrich, Senator George P. Wetmore who had just returned from seeing President Taft at Beverly, and Chas- ID. Mortar. the presidents secretary.
 Morgan is known to take the view that AIdrich's promised retirement from the senate would be a ma tional calamity" and it is believed he urged Aldrich to reconsider the matter.
 Politicians in Rhode Island have never believed Aldrich would retire at the end of this term, as he an nounced last spring. It was not expected that Wall street would con sent to lose it's most able represen tative in the senate.

Finding Your Note.

low places. it may be well for rirl to stand for strict honesty. She caa set her face sternly against all those little practices which are glossed over nowadays as not dishonest, br- cause they are so common. but which, if traced back to their root, VIII pc found to be crooked. The matter or using one's employers stamps, or note paper, or time which he has paid for: of failing to pay the hVe- cent carfare which the conductor may have overlooked; of taking ad- vantage of other peoples mistakes, all are not honest when the matter of giving equivalent return for value received is sIuarely faced.
 A giri may make her note thor oughneSs, and her family or her em- ployer come to know that whatever she does will be well done. Or she may best express her nature through helpfulness, and her little world turn to her in times of trouble or need as the one who will be sure to render the aid desired.
 The girl who sounds one of these. or any other of the many notes that need sounding, will become force in her little circle. It is easy to see how she will stand out She will have individuality. She will make an impression. She will not be merely one of the mass, she will be one out of the mass. She VIII stand for something.
 Ard in doing so. she will find life far more worth while, more enjoy able. When one allies himself witf the forces of good. be the choice ever so humble a one. there comes always an inward satisfaction and joy

came into office he declared for econ omy with a great flourish Of trump cts. The newspapers were full of l what he was going to do in that l regard to relieve the taxpayers Of ] the land But all such talk turned ! out to be laundering in Jne index as the foregoing totals show.
 q have therefore stated in the house and out of it that Senator Aid. rich said a good man can run the government just as well as it is l run for $500 100000 per annum less than it nov costs. The president him self fixed the amount which could | be saved every year at s1O00OO.OOo. . Senator Clark of Montana Senator | Hale of Maine, chairman of the sen ate appropriations committee. and Hon. James A. Tawney, chairman of the committee on appropriations in the house of representatives, have talked economy; but the fact re mains that their economy consists entirely of gall and they actually in- creased the appropriations instead e. reducing them.
 As they have large majorities in both houses Of congress and could do as they pleased, one of the two is true: First, they do not care to econ omize. or. second, they arc utterly incompetent
 But how can President Taft ex- pect congress to economize when he sets the example of extravagance. not only by using up the S25,o00 an nuaI allowance for traveling ex- penses but uses up several thousand dollars more? Be it remembered no
 president ever received this travel
 pay until the last part of the Roose-
 welt regime, and Roosevelt never
 used all of the allowance, while his successor uses more. How can con gress be expected to economize when
 the vice president and speaker of the house set bad examples by using automobiles paid for by the public money?
 q am aware that economy Is an
 humble theme, but it is close to the , hearts of the people, and millions ot them cannot afford to be taxed to
 support republican officials in their reckless extravaganza"

M'MURRAY AND HIS BUSINESS PROPOSITION"

Attorney McMurray. the central ngurc in the Oklahoma Indian graft investigation. has appeared on the stand in his own behalf It can be gathered from his testimony that he fails 70 see anything wrong in the transaction he has had with the In dians. He looks at the whole thing as a business proposition" and al though he did not say so, it is to be inferred that he does not think congress should interfere in those private business matters between the astaute white attorney and the sim pie minded redskins. The easy bus mess morals will be evident at a glance
 The attitude of McMurray. and all the others who have been exploiting the Indians, is of general interest as a reminder of a growing tendency on the part of some smart people to ove-step the bounds of propriety and strict honor in business dealings. Not only a sprinkling of the legal profession. but a proportion of men in other professions, bring discredit upon their work and their fellow workers by practices that can only be classed as dishonest. Public con demnation should be their lot, wher- ever they are found.
 It will be remembered, however that there are many thousands oi men engaged in each profession, and that the majority Of them are the soul of honor. Examples Ike those brought out in the Indian nvestiga' ton only serve to emphasize this fact. Instead of being easy, it is actually hard to find a first class lawyer who would have anything tc do with such business as McMurra! has been engaged in, for any sun of money. The moral standard, as whole. is excellent. Money may out weigh everything with some men and in the case of the Indian law yers. if they can escape any seriou punishment or consequences. an still retain the cash, they will nc be disturbed in conscience. The should be compelled to disgore every dollar wrongfully taken frol the Indians. That is the only wa
 to reach them. They are hardent
 to public opinion except when the
 pocketbooks are touched. It is to
 hoped that congress and the feder
 courts Will find some way into u
 pockets of the grafters.

Too Ardent a Lover.

Georgotto Fontano, an embroiderer
who lives in the Rue Sevres In Paris,
has found herself condemned to a
months imprisonment for what seems
to her a harmless act.
She was going home from n concert
a few evenings ago when she decided
she would like to see her fance. AS
he happens to be a fireman whose
station is in her own neighborhood 1t
occurred to her it would be very easy
to summon him to her side by break
ing the glass Of the fire alarm and
sounding a call.
She did so anr in a few moments
fire engines came from several direc-
tons, al. laden with firemen. OF course,
but alas! her iance was not among
them, and more than that all the fire.
men were angry. and before she knew
what had happened she was taken to
a magistrate, who proceeded to mako
the course Of true love run unsmoothly
by sending her to prison for a month
in spite of her tears and protests that
she thought it would be a simple way
of bringing her fiance to her side.

Fol three years he has used a mo-

which is the greater part Of the year,
thanks to a road dragging system
which has materially improved the
roads on his route. He leaves the post

he can use his motorcycle covers the

this time to two hours, and even less.
When he drives he makes the trip

on the motorcycle he uses his horses
for farm work in the afternoon. Last
summer he put up hay on a neighbour
