A few years ago an effort was made
to establish Europeon hotel at the
junction of the two most Travelled

hotel contained some articles which

Among them were nightcap. a hair

GoRST EGYPT's REAL RULER

The famous speech which Col Theodore Roose-
welt made in London, following the one which he
made in Egypt, has attracted attention to that
country. and to Sir Edon Gorst British agent and
consul general in Egypt, who was the real ruler
in that part Of John Bulls domain.
Sir Eldon Gorst succeeded Lord Cromer in
Egypt a little more than three years ago, but
previously he had had much experience in that
country. He first went to Cairo In 1885 as an
present position. The criticism against him is
that he Is too conciliatory; that he has not been
sufficiently firm In dealing with the Nationalist
press which even goes far as to advocate as
sassination of the British government represent

When Wife is Away.

The summer divorce brings
separation in a host of families.
Only about 12, 900 to 1900
homes are in this city each summer
wholly closed and the family away.
There are thrice this number, from
10000 to $4,000. where for all or
part of the summer the man Is at
home and at work alone-more or
less-and the wife and children are
away.
IL you are the man and at home,
are you writing to wife and family
regularly? Are you taking as much
pains about your family letters as
your business correspondence? You
pride yourself on your business let
tiers. You make them prompt, plain
clear, full and effective. Do you do
as much In writing to your family?
Are your reports as full and speak
ing as you make business reports?
Yet your family mean more to you,
and in your heart of hearts you care
more for it than for your business.

The Farmer and His Automobile.

One +. T. Fairchild, who has been
making a census of the school attend
ance in the state of Kansas, commits
himself to the opinion hal the de-
creases in the birth rate of that state
is a result of an increase In the use
OF automobiles. As it would be i'm
possible to arrive at such a con-
elusion by mere human reason, we
suppose that Mr.. Fairchild gets his
results by sheer genius, even as
Shakespeare and the Federal At
torney General. The only possible
alternative Is that his preter-natural
sagacity runs in the family, like
wooden legs.
Probably Mr.. Fairehild would not
have stimulated any comment in

Campaigning i'm California.

A story comes from the southern
part of the state concerning a Re-
publican candidate. and while it is a
little late, is too good TO pass by. The
story goes that Ed. Roberts has prov
ed himself TO be one of the greatest
campaigners that ever kissed a
baby or bought drinks for the crowd.
From village to village he went dur
ing this campaign, buttonholing
everybody, scattering literature right
and left and always letting them
know that he was in the game.
Finally he found himself in the
southern part of the state, and some
body told him If he took the rail-
road there and rode for a few miles
he would come to the thriving little
town known as Nipton. where there
were several votes that had so far
been overlooked.
Roberts didn't hesitate. He
boarded the train and soon found
himself in Nipton. Here he went up
and down the street, scattering liter
ature. buttonholing everybody and
generally letting them know that he
was in the game.
Finally eomebody asked him what
he was running for-apparently he
had not made II quite clear.

You slave in your business for the
sake of your family.
If you are the woman and away
from home are your letters full. com
plete, catching and interesting? Are
they as carefully and promptly done
as your social correspondence? Dc
you put as much into the letter home
as you do into a club paper, for in
stance?
Nothing holds like a good letter
Many a man and many a woman is
anchored by a good strong. faithful,
full, loving, daily letter. Nothing
holds the writer in these family
separations firmer than the habit OF
daily writing all that goes on.
Either all goes in, which is safety, or
something is left out, which is a
danger signal and warns, like an
alarm bell, those who want to be
right, but have had some pleasant,
tempting reason for wandering in
the empty house. at home or away
from home, in the great summer
divorce.
Make your family letters count.
Write often. put all in, make the
letter a daily journal and pour out
the inner love, which is often better
and more easily written than said.
and too often taken for granted
until too late death ends all and
leaves silence and unavailing regret.
