The Tired Business Man
BY WALTER A. SINCLAIR.

Lately I've frequently read that MEM

fixing up their fences" began Friend
Wife. do they actually go around trying
to win votes by repairing farmers prop
erty, or--oh, we'll. you needn't grinl What
ARE their fences?
Mostly defenges CT their offenses," re-
piled the Tired Business Man. There may
be congressional districts IN this land where
candidates for reelection get out and do
regular work as a pastime, after acting
as heating plant for a leather upholstered
chair during a session. l believe one of
the most shockingly wealthy members Of
the upper chamber fuses on farm dur
ing his leisure. but it's his own farm and
he runs 1t as a toy at that The day Of
the free handed hail fellow, we'll met, If
he can't dodge you, is past and the rep

insisting on chopplng the wood in the coal
regions, or shoveling the snow in summer,
is as prevalent as the late dodo.
you probably read from one of the in
spired sources-and I'm not saying what
the source of the inspiration was-that this
is particularly trying year on the elected.
This may refer to the fact that they were
trying cabinet officers, or the high cost of
living, or q number OF things, but what's
a trying year as long as 1t isn't convict
ing year? The Washington correspondents
by deduction and new thought learn that
this is a very, very hard year on the rep
resentative's fences OF course this doesn't
mean actual wooden or stone fences, nor
let US hope-does it mean fences with quo
tation marks as standing for receptacles of
stolen goods.
IF It was a regular fence we were dis
cussing we could tell just what kind each
man would have to fix. One OF the old
guard would have a picket fence, a traitor
TO his pledges would have to repair q
snake fence, one who voted so that his dis
trict was forced to east horse meat would
be up against a stake-and-rider fence. AL
OF the inbads fear picking up barbed wire
fences, and those who are being rallied al
naturally have to fix rail fences. In Mis-
souri, we may. hear of stone fence. OF
course. around the campaign In California
there should be box hedge.
You can see from such variegated kind
of fences that to repair them the candi-
dates must use every method from ham
mers to trimming. And they can't gel

Outdoor sleeping is no experiment; its
beneficial effects have been tested. and
are more clearly understood each year.
While 1t is easier for people in the country
TO practice outdoor sleeping. It is not i'm
possible to arrange for 1t in the city.
Most country houses have upstairs
porches or sufficient ground for tent
close to the house. For the next six weeks
all that is necessary is to buy strong
folding bed, with a thin mattress that Is
easily rolled. and put that bed in the most
convenient and sheltered spot.
II all else fails. a sailors hammock
swung under the trees is a solution OF
outdoor sleeping. There should be mos
quito netting and a rubber blanket to pull
over you on rainy nights.
The dread OF neighbors Is the chief draw
back OF outdoor sleeping N cities. The
practice has become so common that people
are now careless OF uneducated opinion.

tains to insure privacy.
Most city houses have upstairs balconies;
II not. there are rear extensions that may
be used.

1T grieves me inexpressibly TO note that
a public official has refused to sanction
a plan OF certain society of ladies to
raise funds for a charitable purpose" be-
gins Brightside as the slightly different
chip from the old block floats in for the

siderable vehemence. I'm cheerful giver-
up for the weak and downtrodden, and
have often been known to give a dime to
a poor cripple, but 1 hate to be hit with a
handbag and ordered to cough up the

CHARITY suffereth long and is kind"
quotes Father, with the attitude of Free
Methodist exhorting.
1T also begins at home" retorts Son.

Father.

you'll get so many chances that there
won't be any cash left to pay the rent

floating from every corner. If you're a

with the long green, you might be able to
stroll from Thirty-fourth to Forty second

discrimination must be used in giving

argues it seems that everybody might

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
Our Forefathers Were Troubled by Un-
duly High Prices of Commodities.

Washington, March Ex-senator Lodge
has discovered that there was a time
in the past when prices We're unusually
high the fact came to him from find
ing an cid document of the oath Con-
gress. 1t is a recommendation by the
secretary Of the treasury that there
be an increase in the salaries of clerks
ard the senator obtained from the Sem
ate today permission for the reprinting
of the paper.
Mr.. Lodge explained that it was ac-
companied by q private memorandum
of expenses kept by clerk. At that
time The memorandum showed that the
price of sugar was IA cents pound,
ouf1r IS barrel and illuminating Oil 81
a gallon. on the other hand, labor was
paid only IS cents day.
1t would appear commented Lodge.
that there have oeen other times
when prices We're high.
AT the same time transportation
cost 1C cents a mile, whereas it is now
two cents" responded Bacon. Condi-
ions are entirely different"
Clapp inquired the date OF the docu-
ment and when told that it was 1886
he raised laugh at the expense of the
Massachusetts senator by inquiring
whether he spoke from memory. Clapr
was assured that it was printed
