sensitiveness and seIfishness.

Sensitiveness is a form of selfshness, though the very sensitive person would be the last one to admit it. If a per son were not thinking mostly of self he would not be too sensitive. We hear the expression .He carries his feelings on his fingers tips" and it is a fair description of the person ever ready to get his feelings hurt.
 Sensitive people are never the hap piest people, nor is it possible for those around them to be the happiest. They humor their own whins so constantly whether consciously or not, that they grow to demand the same treatment from others, and when others, with larger thoughts in their minds than those of self, fail to yield this ready obedience to their petty wills, they brood.
 Sensitiveness is not only sure sign of selfishness, but of a lack of conf dence in ones friends. This, too the sensitive person would be the last to acknowledge. Sensitive people are generally the ones to prate mostly of their loyal friendship, and they may be perfectly sincere, but they simply do not understand their own characters well enough to know that perfect con fdence is not possible is such a nature as theirs.-Omaha Bee.

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY

drop about half my customers because couldn't supply them. and week later I lost the rest of them because they didn't want to be supplied.
 .'When I went among them to find out why they had gone back on me they said I was an old pirate. was charging them three prices for milk, they said merely because I had the milk delivered by an aleck in blue uniform with brass buttons They had great respect for blue uniforms and brass buttons, they said, but they didn't feel like robbing their own families to pay for them.
 ''OId Judge Chamberlain rebuked me with great bitterness for my soulless avarice Milk he said. is something that should be sold by public spirited al heart. Milk means life to babies and inyalids. It is the sustenance of the poor. It should be as cheap as any commodity can be. And yet you come along the judge said, the incarnation of heartless greed, and rob weeping mothers and wailing infants, selling them diluted milk at the price of, inn ported gin. I have called a meeting of ued, and we'll see if the statutes make no provision for the punishment of such an abominable graft as yours
 Just after that an old woman died and the doctor who had grudge against me, said she was killed by ptoniaine poisoning, the result of using milk from my dairy in her coffee. The coroner and a lot of other officials came out to my place and analysed and parsed my cows and said they were all afflicted with seven or eight 1oathsome diseases and I was ordered to shoot them within three days or suffer the consequences. I had suffer ed enough consequences already, so be- fore the three days were up I held a grand runmage sale of slightly shelf worn cows and most of them were bought up by the officials who had condemned them as being afflicted with appendicitis and other distempers.
 +tGo into the cow business if you want to. my friend. but if I were you I'd arrange with the foolkiller for an immunity bath.''-Chicago News.

The newly elected treasurer of t,le Savings bank at Southbridge. Mass, Calvin D Paige is 62 years young, and enters upon his work with faith i'm the future of the institution. I.l faKins his position Monday he said:

 No inquiries were made about MT Pafge-s charitable tendencies bu. il is quite likely that he is known 10 have no penchant for giving away other peoples money as if it was his own

CLAWS AS A poER.

The country was introduced to Gla- wis during the Ballinger inquiry, and while his examination was on he did not hesitate to attempt to queer the word of the president; but he didn't succeed: and with his retirement from the witness stand Glavis has been lost sight of until now. He comes to light seeking a divorce from his wife; and Is opposed by her She says that he tried to effect a settlement with her while he was in the public service and among other considera ations looking toward a settlement was the pledge on his part to secure her a permanent place in one of the departments at Washington, under civil service, where she could remain for life.
 Think what Pinchot went through for Glavis, who had been so soreiy abused by Ballinger. and what time there was over this man, who was represented to be of lofty moral prin- ciples. when he was of the type to be trying to get clear of his better half by getting her a life position to wo-k for Uncle Sam In this light he does not shine so much more than the Guggenheims. He does not appeae now to be the kind of a man the cou stry cannot get along without

~rHE FREieHrn ON SHOES.

It has been reported that an or ganization of shoe wholesalers is plan ming to enter a protest against any increase in the freight rates on shoes The New York agent of one of the large transcontinental railroads had his attention called to this. and was asked to what extent 9 moderate in- crease would affect the shipper and the consumer
 'If the freight rate on shoes were raised 10 per cent" the agent said after referring to his tariff schedule 'sit would cost just about a half cent more to ship pair Of shoes from Boston to San Francisco, 5000 miles than it costs now. The same increase would add about a tenth of a cent to the cost of shipping pair of shoes from Boston to Chicago.
 From St. Louis, which is big shoe manufacturing center, the rr.te to New Orleans is now 90 cents a hundred pounds. As about 4S pair of shoes are packed into hundred -ponn l box the tariff on a single pair of shoes would be about cent and thirds. Thus, a ten per cent. increase in tke rate would add about sixth of a cent"
 John H. Hanan, president of the National Boot and Shoe Manufa-tur- ers' associa tfon, made a statement. 9 few months ago, in explanation of higher prices for shoes. Rent and the cost of raw materials he gave as the principal causes.
 'sThe cost of transportation" he said. amounts to nothing, relatively speaking
 An increase in freight rates fre- quent1y serves as an excuse for reta l. CTS to raise the price of an arti.:e 10 the consumer by an amount many times as great as the rate increase. If the advance in the price were made the same as the increase in freight rate it would usually amount :c an proportion of the total

WHY CHICAGO HOWLS FOR
 GREATER BENEFITS.

II costs Chicago eighty eight mil = lions a year to meet it's expenses and the press thinks that is enough to meet every need of the great city without any increase of taxation. The News. commenting upon the cost of running the city. says:
 For the year ended June 30. 19l3 the entire cost of municipal admins : 1ration as thus obtained for the Chi czgo territory was ssS.793.4 .42s This ss an average of s4O-se for every man. woman and child in the community The increase in cost per capita dur ing the last five years is 20 per cent The increase comes to large degree in the items of schools, recreation health and highways
 Eighty-eight millions dollars is an enormous amount of money to take from the taxpayers of Chicago each year for purposes of municipal inn pavement Yet many needed improve nnants are lacking The people want additional benefits, but they object to higher taxation. What, then, is to be done2
 The answer is at hand. Much of the sss. .eeO. 900 is wasted Stop the waste
 That is the idea There are no mon les SO Iavishly spent without adequate returns as the public monies, and hun 6reds of millions are lost to the cities of the country every year What is everywhere needed is men who do things and who handle the public rnsney as they would their own.

Having Our Way.

In fulfilling our mission in life there IS always happy medium to be found anG much of our success is due to whether we are able to distinguish it or not We must rely upon our own initiative in working out the problems submitted Tor our solution and just to the extent of how much originality of effort We contribute to those solu- uons depends the individuality of our results It seems as though nearly any one can make success under certain given conditions. but it is vouchsafed to comparatively few who
 working in adverse circumstances. are able to wiring from Fate such suc- cess as will emblazon itself forever upon the mighty shield of endeavor
 Yet 1t is chiefly by choosing his own methods and following his own way Of doing things that a man impresses his individuality upon others and suc- ceeds in accomplishing anything out of the ordinary. The advice of experi- ence is wholesome, but it is not always easily assimilated, for while we may profess to be forearmed by the mis- takes of others, yet it is almost al cer- tain as day that when the actual test comes we are tempted to "see for our selves" and perhaps learn for our experience. What others have accom- plished in the past is of benefit chiefly as an inspiration, seldom as an in- falHble guide, for conditions are nec- essarily bound to differ with the pass ing of time. and often that which was at one time comparatively easy of ac- compiishment by certain methods re- Quires different treatment at a later period.-Charleston News and Courier

THE CHILD HEART WITHIN US
Though We May for a Time Forget
1t, Certain It Is It Never Quite
Passes Away.

think it was George Macdonald
who spoke Of the child-heart that lives
on, after the sunny roseate days Of
childhood. in the heart of every one of
us human beings, ever amid dark sur
;roundings and through times of trial
and sadness to our voices.
Still the sweet child-heart Is there,
although we forget it, 1t may be, for
a while. and only wake up to the fact
that 1t exists when we feel some throb
OF gladness, such as when we gather
the hrst primrose, or catch the spring
song of the blackbird in the wood.
Then the child-heart beats fast with
happiness. and we know that it is still
there, true as ever. And when we see
some pure little baby face, all fresh
from the tender touch Of the great
Creator. does not the child-heart go
out In love to the wee wayfarer on
LIES path? All, WI should thank God
for the gift of youth-youth even in
OLD age, hidden away in u hearts.

Look at the business man, grown

He Is no longer young, and his brow
Is furrowed with the indelible lines of
'care; but some day, as he passes by a
stall In the city. his stern mouth re-
lakes and his eyes grow soft for a
moment, as he sees golden and white
%crocuses and blue violets lying there
In the spring sunshine.
He thinks of his little flower, gath
Tered by the angels, many, many years
Iago-his little. lovely child. with her
sweet voice and steadfast eyes!
And then his thoughts wander away
to the heaven where she loved to talk
and sing about. and he wonders II he
Will ever meet her there. please
!God!" he whispers to himself, as he
crosses the street to his office.
1t Is only the child-heart within
him. under the rugged exterior and
the toll of his work-a-day world. but
1T makes his life brighter and more
hopeful all the same.-Seattle Times.
