Doing Things
The Best
You Can

nOING things we'll is habit and not
a sign Of natural born cleverness.
II women would only realize how much
they can teach themselve- they would
Improve a great deal more.
There are two kinds Of people in this
world-those who do things the best
1.-THE very best) they know how and
those who do them only half well or, as
they put it. well enough"
The former are learning and improv-
ing every moment of their existence
The latter are becoming more careless
every day, because doing things only
Just well enough to pass muster GER
tainly does not lead to accuracy, neat
ness or precision.
Be sure of 1t, the women who do
things quickly and cleverly are those
who have plodded over them In the
past. who have painstakingly ripped out
stitches or measured or read a pattern
carefully and who have absorbed the
science of what they were doing in
stead Of rushing slapdash through the
work and trusting to superficial gen
eral effect to pass muster Make up
your mind to this IL you want to sue
ceed--that you will do fewer things
but that you will do them we'll, and also
that whatever YOU BEGIN YOU will finish
thoroughly before you start anything
else.
Better not start a thing at all thar
leave 1t half done. Refuse to under.
take things If you feel you cannot give
the proper time and attention to them
but get the reputation of being abso-
lutely trustworthy and thorough once
YOU do undertake thing.
You are only cheating one person
when you do things halfway, and that
person is yourself.

MANY BEARS ARE SEEN.
Animals Have Left Forest Because of
the Dry Weather.

the Dry Weather.
Thief River Falls, Mimi. Aug. 3d.
The extreme dryness of the past sum-
mer season has been tha means Of
driving many bears from the woods
north of the great Red lakes in Bel
trami county out on TO the prairie to
the west. The animals all appear to
be moving in a southwesterly direc-
ton. This brings them across Mar
shall and Red Lake counties and out
on the open prairie, where they become
marks for the farmers shotguns and
rifles. They wander along the streams
usually and do not hesitate to enter
the farm yard even In broad daylight
and take possession Of any morsels
which appeal to their appetite. The
shooting Of a bear or the chasing of
one is an every day occurrence in this
section and many exciting encounters
have taken place. They have learned
that young pigs make fine eating, and
one farmer lost eight little porkers be-
fore he succeeded in landing the thief
who was boarding on the inmates OF
the pig sty. A reservation man re-
Gently killed a she bear, which was at
tempting to carry off a pig, but found
that the rife would not shoot so he
dubbed it and knocked the bear over
the head. There is no real danger
from this invasion of the county by
the animals; at least so far they have
not attacked anyone, even those who
have come into close quarters with
them. Their hides at this time Of the
year make poor rugs, as the hair is
quite thin.

THE MAN WHO WON'T TELL HIS
LOVE

II there is one brand Of foolishnesa
In a man that is more egregious than
hny other 1t is the foolishness of the
han who doesn't tell a girl that he
loves her because he thinks she must
know it by intuition.
There is no doubt that women have
remarkable intuition, but when It's a
question Of marriage most women are
building their plans for the future on
Some sounder foundation than intuition.
There Is no excuse for the man who
hbsorbs a girls time, pays her con-
tinual attention, gives her every reason
to fall in love with him, but doesn't
speak because he isn't in a position to
marry her yet
That's all very well. He needn't mar
ry her yet. II she cares for him she
will be willing to wait. But surely 1t
must be for her happiness to know
while she is waiting that he cares for
her.

son W. Aldrich OF Rhode Island. enumer-
ating the counts under which no was in
Kansas in recent campaign speeches deal
ing with the tariff on rubber. IN letter
made public last night. denies the charges
In their entirety.
The letter follows;
providence. r. l., Aug. 10. 1870
Hon. William d. Mckinley, Chairman Re
publican Congressional Committee, Wash
ington. d. c.-Dear Mr.. Mckinley: have
been asked by a republican candidate for
congress In an Illinois district to Furnish
him the facts with reference to the charges
IN the rubber duties in the tariff act OF
1903.
1.-The persistent Federation OF the absurd
misstatements Of Senator Bristow with
refelenee to the tariff on rubber furnishes
such a Characteristic Illustration Of the
nature Of the criticisms and the character
OF certain critics OF the tariff act of 1903
that Il seems to me desirable that a full
statement OF the facts should be made In
response to this inquiry.
List of BristOw's Charges.
Senator Bris,ow's statements were as
follows:
u. That the senate committee on finance
Of which 1 was chairman, increased the
duty upon certain manufactures OF rubber
MON 80 70 IS per cent.
- That during the session. or immedi-
ately after the adjournment OF congress
i. in connection with others. had organised
q gigantic rubber trust known as the In.
tercontinental Rubber company, in which
was large stockholdsr and director.
g. That this huge rubber trust immedi.
stely advanoed largely the price OF orud,
kHbber. the supply Of which il absolutely

the other paragraphs OF the act. Had thu
more numerous other paragraphs OF the act
provided a lower rate OF duty than para
graph 4SS, should have recommended that
the rate be changed to conform thereto.
with reference to the effect with which
importations and revenues, there are no
statistics available that will enable US to
measure, 1t accurately. Importations are
classified quite differently under the old
law and under the new. For instance
rubber toys were classified as manufac-
under the new, and this change alone ac-
counts for reduction IN the importations
Of rubber manufactures under paragraph
46S, and a greater increase in the importa-
tons returned under paragraph 4Si.
ImpOrtatiOns VIII Increase.
1T Is the opinion Of those best qualified
to judge, that there has been, and viii
continue 10 be- an increase In the lmporta-
have described, and as a consequence, an
Increase In revenue.
"In the tariff discussion of other days
the advocates Of the protective policy have
usually been called to meet in debate men
VINO mad convictions on the supJect-dem-
ocrats of character, whose theories of gov
eminent differed completely from those
held by republican protectionists--men who
had some regard for the accuracy of their
statements ana some knowledge ON the sub
jects they discussed.
THE committee found that IL the desired
uniformity was secured by making all the
rates 30 per cent instead OF IS per cent. this
would nave involved loss OF revenue
based upon the importations OF lSO8-of more
than $1O0O,OO0. Therefore they decided to
recommend the uniform rate OF So per cent.
Rate Not Excessive.
TT was not believed, nor do / now be-
lleve, that this rate was in any case ex-
cessve. Take the case Of the rubber man
ufaoturSrs for instance. While II 10 true
that 80 per cent was ample for protective
purposes for a large class of goods. the
articles which were principally imported
under these paragraphs were OF a character
which would not be burdened--even from
the standpoint OF a revenue tariff-by .
duty OF IS per cent.
"The principal importations OF rubber by
rubber manufacturers covered by these
various paragraphs ere rubber dolls, rubber
toys. druggists supplies. fancy articles and
novelties of various kinds. The imposition
of an extra duty of per cent would GER
tainly not be a hardship to any one inter-
ested in these articles.
when you consider that the average
rate upon all articles imported into the
United States under the act OF 1909 is in
the neighborhood OF Al per cent. certainly
30 per cent could not be an excessive rata
in this cas- from any standpoint.
Strangely enough this little group OF
men--yery small in number-has arrogated
Ito itself the leadership OF the progressivea
and It's members prate about the treatment
OF the tariff as a moral question. Very
truly yours, NELSON w. ALDRIcH.'

paid could be. attributed. as have already
stated, to the tariff Of the United States,
or to any change in tariff rates.
1.-THE change In the tariff on manufac-
lures OF rubber not otherwise provided for
from 30 to IS per cent In paragraph 463 was
not made or recommended for protective
purposes or at the instance or for the bene-
fit OF any domestic manufacturer. 1t was
made upon the recommendation Of the
treasury experts solely for administrative
purposes The fact is that at the time the
tariff act was proposed the American manu-
facturer for most classes OF goods had IN
disputed control Of the American market and
in the greatest number of cases the domes-
tic producer was able to export some por-
ton Of his product to other countries. The
statistics submitted by the finance com
mittee to the senate In April, 1909. showed
value Of manufactured products in the
country in 1904 OF l14s,O0O,O 600 ana exports In
1907 to the value OF over $1,000. 0oO while the
imports OF the classes referred to have
never reached in value III per cent Of the
domestic production.
Imports Falling Off.
There has been In recent years a con-
siderable falling off in the value Of the i'm
ports OF rubber manufacturers, owing
ufacturers were gradually taken off the
market for automobile tires and to the fact
that two of the most important makers of
tires-Michealin and the Continental COM
pany-transferred their plants for the sup
ply of their American market TO the United
States
when the tariff bill reached tho finance
committee 1t was stated to us by the treas
ury experts who had been assigned by the
president TO assist the committee In the
preparation OF acts that II was extremely
desirable that the rates OF duty imposed by
paragraphs 140, 427, 40h and 400 Of the public
bill OF the miscellaneous manufacturers OF
various material should be uniform with
the rates imposed on similar products In
! other parts OF the bill.
THE statements of the fact that led TO
the unanimous conclusion OF the finance
committee and the conference committee
to recommend an increase Of duty on the
articles named In paragraph 4s3 are clearly
set forth In the following letter Of Judge
Sharretts to me;
