How Wars Beuin.

Here's a remarkable statement"
said Mr.. Bibbin, looking up from his
newspaper.
What is it, dear?" his wife asked
at says there has not been decade
in the last five centuries in which war
has not been waged somewhere in the
world"
Isn't that dreadful? Why can't
people be reasonable and live in
peace?"
Because people are mostly intol-
Grant fools" Mr. Bibbin answered. Il
declare it makes man ashamed of
his kind" He crumbled the paper and
dashed it to the floor.
There. there. Elias" said his wife,
don't get excited over it,"
Who's getting excited? I s'pose
I've got right to express an opinion
in my own house"
IT'S no more your he Ian mine,
I'd have you know" said Mrs. Bib.
bin. Il guess | worked and scrimped
as hard as you did to get it,"
See here. madam."
Don't you madam me, Elias Bib
bin | won't stand it,"
"Oh, you won't. won't you? Well, if
you were man I'd punch your i'm
pertinent jaw!"
mo you wouldn't, you big bully.
You wouldn't dare say boo to a man."
81 wouldn't, heh?" He strobe to-
ward her, shaking his fist 'for two
cents I'll"
"You lay hand on me-" said Mrs.
Bibbin snatching up the rose vase,
"and I'll"
Just then the door bell rang.

No New Things

The drift to the city from the
country, which so many deplore,
is no new thing. 1t has always
been so for history shows that the
great cities of old as well as those
of modern days were not built up
by the natural increase of their own
population, but by constant accre-
ton from the country. In fact the
city is an immense maelstrom re-
morselessly sucking in the brain
and Drawn of the country.
That, on the whole it is mis-
fortune, few will question. For
every one person who goes from the
country to the city and benefits by
the change there are probably a
dozen who do not benefit, for with
most of them the change means a
deterioration, physically, linan-
cially and morally. But this fact
does not check the migration, for it
is not the failure OF the dozen that
is considered but the success of the
one.
The man who can solve the pro-
blem of how to keep young men and
women on the farm and in the
small town will prove one of the
greatest benefactors of all time.
Many plans have been proposed
and county life has more advant-
ages than in former days, yet the
drift continues. Perhaps nothing
but the force of economic circum-
stance will cause a turn in the
tide.

workmen including the building
trades, marble, and stone cutters,
printers, foundry men, machinists
etc. Taking the average wages for
the ten years from 1890 to 1900, as
a basis for comparison, it was found
that the average wages per hour, OF
these $50, 75S workmen were 2S.
per cent higher in 1907 than in the
basis period.
In the manufacture of nearly
everything made in this country.
the cost of labor enters most largely
into the cost of the finished product
Is it reasonable to believe that
the manufacturers after having
counted the cost of material, and
labor, and fixed their prices to yield
a reasonable profit, would be able,
or willing, to pay their workmen
2S.S per cent higher wages and not
make themselves good by raising
the selling price of their products.
Indeed we know that in some in
stances when manufacturers, and
mine owners have been forced to
raise the price of their operatives,
they have been forced to raise the
price Of their products in proportion
to raise in wages.
The building trade union have
succeeded in obtaining a greater
rise in wages than any Of the other
organizations. According to the
report of the department of Com
merce and Labor the building trade,
comprising 45, ,537 workmen obtain,
ed an average rise Of AZ per cent an
hour higher than in the ay,rlae
basis period of 1890 to 1900.

ARTFuL BILL DROPS IN.
Calls to See His Friend Tom About a
Small Money Matter.

Bystanders saw the derby hated,
bushy y-eyebrowed little man enter the
office of his friend with the ar OF one
who has something on his mind.
"Well, well. If there amt Old Bill"
exclaimed the man sitting at his desk.
"What's on your mind, anyhow"
"Oh, just dropped in, Tom" replied
Bill. Found myself on your door and
just thought I'd see how everything
was with YOU"
"Glad you did. Well, how're you
maxim out?"
First rate. Hows things with
you?"
"Oh, can't complain at all How
are all the folks?"
Zine. Everything's coming all right
with you, is it?"
Now, after the conversation had run
along in that strain for little while,
the bystanders in the Office decided
that the caller had dropped in to make
a touch.
Bill shifted from one foot to the
other uneasily. He seemed to lack
for word. Evidently it was coming.
ooh, by the way, TONI" spoke W
Bill suddenly, with much show of
spontaneity, Il was just on my way
down to pay my rent and it just struck
me that l haven't quite enough on
me. Could you let me have that ten
spot I lent you down at the club last
night?"
There. He'd said it. The worst
was over. And it wasn't touch after
all but a man trying to collect debt
in an inoffensive way which is thrice
as embarrassing.
Tom looked at his visitor. Didn't
ever give that back to you?" he ask
ed. Huh! Why didn't you speak of
| it before?"
ooh. | haven't needed it-wouldn't
| have thought of it now, in fact, If
hadn't been standing here and just
happened to think about-not having
enough to hand to the landlord
Sorry you had to ask for it, apollo
gized Tom.
"Oh. that's all right, l guess know
you we'll enough to feel free to ask for
what | want, hey? No need of formal
| ity or anything between us. OF course
| wouldn't have mentioned it at that
| if l hadn't just been here and hap
pened to think'-and so on.
And having collected debt that had
been on his mind for months, While
he wondered how to get it without Civ

MONKEYS POST sENTINELs.
Fight Under Leader and Roll Stones
Down on Their Enemies.

Aesop's ape, it will be remembered,
graveyard, overcome with sorrow for
it's dead ancestors, and that all mon
keys are willing enough to be more
like us than they are they show by
their mimicry.
+. An old authority tells that the
easiest way to capture apes is for the
hunter to pretend to shave himself,
then to wash his face, fill the basin
with a sort of bird lime, and leave it
for the apes to blind themselves. II
the Chinese story is to be believed,
the initiative craze is even more fatal
in another way, for if you shoot one
monkey of a band with a poisoned ar
row, it's neighbor, Jealous of so un-
usual a decoration, will snatch the
arrow from it and stab itself, only to
have it torn away by a third, until
in succession the whole troop have
committed suicide.
In their wild life balloons, as we'll
as the langurs and many other mon
keys, undoubtedly submit to the au-
thority of recognized leaders. There
is cooperation between them to the
extent that when fighting in company
one will go to the help of another
which is hard pressed.
In rocky ground they roll down
stones upon their enemies, and when
making a raid, as on an orchard
which they believe to be guarded, the
attack is conducted on an organized
plan, sentries being posted and scouts
thrown out, which gradually feel their
way forward to make sure that the
coast is clear, while the main body re-
mains in concealment behind until
told that the road is open.
From the fact that the sentries
stay posted throughout the raid, get
ting for themselves no share of the
plunder, it has been assumed that
there must be some sort of division of
the proceeds afterward. Man, again,
has been differentiated from all other
creatures as being a fool-using ami
NAL, but more than one kind OF mon
key takes a stone in its hand and with
it breaks the nuts which are too hard
to be cracked with the teeth.

Suhsoilina with Dynamite.

Strange are some of the farming
methods of California, said Benja-
min Mann, of Germantown, who re-
Gently returned from visit to the
Pacific coast. "One day in the vine
country l heard a tremendous bang,
bang, banging, and started from my
seat, thinking that dreadful explo-
sion had occurred. But my host told
me, with laugh, that his men were
merely plowing with dynamite. Then
he went on to explain that when it
was desired to loosen up the soil to a
depth of three feet or so dynamite
cartridges were set in the earth and
fired off. They broke up the ground
beautifully. They did the work much
better, and much more cheaply, than
any machine or any manual labor
could do. And, in addition to this,
they destroyed the parasite called the
phylloxera, the bane of the vine grow
ers. No vineyard whose soil had been
dynamited, my host said. ever slf-
fered from the phylloxera afterward.'

to assert that my meter showed any

MINDS INFLUENCE ON BODY.
DR.. Vaughn Says the Dogma is With
out a Scientific Suport.


Taking for his subject "The Physical
Basis Of Life" Dr. Vaughn, speaking
before the Association of American
Physicians. said that much had been
heard of late concerning the influence
of the mind over the body. That as
sumption was as old as the philosophy
of Plato. 1t always had bean and ro'
manned to-day dogma without scien
tific fact Every attempt to apply /;
to the treatment of disease had led
to the deye ent OF conscious oil
unconscious charlatanism and re-
suited in more or less marked alta
vism.
Medical observation and study had
shown that healthy cerebral function
was to be found only when the activ'
ity of the brain was influenced prop
erly by normal function of all the CO.
related organs.
I'VE know eGr ally" said he, "of the
influence of the brain on the other
organs of the body. We are fully
aware of the fact that impulses may
be started in Re brain through any
of the five senses that may favorabiy
or unfavorably influence the activities
of the correlated organs. And for cen
turies the medical profession has EN-
ployed this physiological principle in
the treatment of disease

Has Organized Labor Had a Share
in Raising Prices

That the various trade unions
numbering about three millions of
workmen in the United States,
have been successful in obtaining
higher wages, and shorter hours,
would seem to show with reason
able certainty, that they had con-
tributed share of the increased
cost of the goods or commodities,
made by them in the factories where
they worked, or else where.

The COAL TRADE SITUATION
CONSUMERS SEEM AMPLY PRO
TEcTED AGAINST SHUTDOWN.
Anthracite and Non-Union 5ituminous
Coal Purchases Have Been Light.
st, Louis Only Market.

Chicago. April 16. - Special: The
Black Diamond, the official organ of
the coal trade, in its issue today says:
With about all the coal mines In the
union section of the bituminous field
closed down, it Is evident that the
market this week concerns itself
mainly with the situation in anthra-
cite, with the status of coal produced
by non-union labor, and in the inquir-
les for future supply. A broad sur
vey of the market shows that anthra'
cite buying has been so light, the op'
Grating companies have been com
PEELED to curtail production, the buy.
ing Of non.union coal from West Vir.
ginia has been so light that the oper-
ators have had to suspend shipments
to important markets, and the alb
sence Of production of other grades
of coal has hardly been missed.
Broadly speaking, It might be said
that the status of the market for the
last week has proved very conclusive
ly that consumers were amply pro-
tected against the possibility OF a
mine shutdown.
So much depends upon the stability
of current prices as an influence upon
contract values, and so much depends
upon having good contract prices for
coal this year, that in all probability
the mines will be very careful about
over-producing the market for the
next month or two.
About the only market where non
union coal has taken the place of the
product of union mines is in the St
Louis trade. Even there the. move
ment so far is small. Thus 1t may be
said that the union mines have held
their own market regardless of the
fact that they have been closed down

from the supporters of the present

but in every county ONCE in the coun-
