"a GREAT DAY."

Great morning. isn't it," called a
CHEEKY business man TO a passer-by
as he hurried down the steps Of his
home to catch a train.
why, so 1t is" thought the man
hailed, looking up in surprise from
his moody contemplation Of the side
walk. And unconsciously he straight
ened his shoulders and stepped out
more briskly as he went on his way.
Great morning, isn't it," said the
business man to a bootblack as he
stopped for a shine. And the urchin
gave a Vigorous polish to a spot on
the heel he had been minded to leave
unshined and whistled as he went his
way.
Great day, isn't it," said the man
TO the stenographer as he entered his
office. And the girls fingers flew
faster and the keys clicked merrily
and the tired eyes smiled as she
worked that day.
1T has been great day." said the
man to his wife as, business over,
he sank with a sigh of comfort into
the easy chair at home.
And the recording angel, closing
the account of that mans day, smiled
and echoed softly, "A great day.

THE SUN WILL SHINE AGAIN."
By William T. McElroy.

A little newsboy, clad only in rags
and not many Of those, stood On the
street corner one chilly morning. The
morning was a gloomy and rainy one,
and the newsboy was barefooted. Now
and then he had to lift up one foot
or the other and place it against his
other leg to try to get little warmth.
But his shout as he called the morn
ing papers was CHEEKY and shrill.
A gentleman, we'll clad in a heavy
overcoat and protected further by a
large umbrella. stopped to buy a pa
per. He noticed the poor clothing of
the little fellow at once. "This kind
Of weather is pretty hard on you, my
lad" he said pleasantly.
81 don't mind it so much" said the
newsboy, looking up with a smile.
THE sun will shine again after
while"
The gentleman passed on. But the
more he thought of the boys words
the more they impressed themselves
upon him. In a few days the little
newsboy went into his office as Office
boy. He is now junior partner. 1t
was his expression, "The sun will
shine again." that had gotten him his
place and that brought him success.
His thought was a good one Nc
matter how gloomy or uncomfortable
the day was, he was sure that the
pleasant, sunshiny day would come

Owned Up Promptly.

One of the boys had broken one of
the school rules and no one would
own up.
The teacher announced that he
would thrash the whole class if some
one did not tell him who had COM
mitted the offense.
All were silent and he began with
the first boy and thrashed everyone
in the class until finally he reached
the last one. Then he said: Now,
If you will tell me who did this |
won't thrash you"
'All right, sir, l did it," was the

seldom happened in a civilized coun-

shocking to benevolent feelings as
this which took place over at Captain
Rice's in this county. But you will
hear from the witness:
The witnesses being sworn, two or
three We're examined, and deposed.
One said that he heard the noise, but
did not see the fight; another, that
he saw the row. but didn't know who

about the scrimmage.

ment Of the former Secret Service man.
when his MEN were arrested III Column
bus, that they had been employing it,
Turner told the story to-day.
|. Burns" said Turner. shas been
using the photograph for year all of
his important indoor work and has
found it very effective, in providing
him with means of keeping in touch
with the conversation of suspected per-
sons in room to which he is unable to
gain access without betraying his pres
ence and showing his hand. In this
way he can place the transmitter be-
hind picture on the wall, the clock on
the mantlepiece or attach it to the
bed-sprlng as is done frequently and
those watching in an adjoining room,
with pad and pencil in hand can keep
an absolutely correct and unimpeach-
able record of everything that is said.
Burns used the instrument in the Hi
nois Central scandal and in that con-
nected with the Chicago and Western
Indiana case. Because of the facility
with which the transmitter, about the
size of an inkwell, was concealed it's
presence was not discovered in either
case and invaluable information con-
corning the plans of those on the in
side became known to the detectives
detailed to the investigation. When
the complete story of the case against
the Los Angeles dynamiters is told,
the part played in it by the photograph
in recording supposedly confidential
conversations will add a new and dra-
matte chapter to the scientific work of
the modern detective. In the past
prosecuting officers have had to depend
a good deal on circumstantial evidence,
often not trustworthy. This does
away with such evidence where the in
strument can be introduced without
attracting attention and definitely fixes
responsibility on those engaged in crime
or acts in violation of law"
Chief Wilkie of the United States
Secret Service has been using the
photograph for several years and Burns,
while member of the organization be-
came acquainted with it's peculiar abil-
ity to pick up whisper in room and
make it distinctly audable in a distant
room to which it is connected. The in
strument has been installed in Police
headquarters in New York and in the
branch headquarters in Brooklyn for
the last thirteen months. 1t is also ex-
tensiveiy employed in the financial dis
trict to enable fnancers to have Sc
cret record kept of the conversations
of visitors for such reference as future
needs may make necessary. Most of
the offices of the Standard Oil and John
D. Rockefeller's National City Bank

Congressman Kent of California has
way of decorating his speeches in
Congress which insures him an aud
fence and drives home his points. He
recently recited bit of verse supposed
to have been composed by one of his
farmer constituents concerning the tar
if speeches of his opponent at the pri-
maries. 1t runs like this:
l read these tariff speeches Ger
the more read of them the more | do
not know, but then | can rely upon our
Congressman. Upon the very slight
est hint he puts a red-hot speech in
print, and when he prints that speech,
you see, he has it mailed out here to
me.
Mac makes it very clear just how if
| pay more than do now for socks and
gloves and baby's dress while | pay
more they cost me less. And then he
shows me where l lose by paying some
what less for shoes, for though | pay
less than before, my shoes they really
cost me more.
He makes it clear to me that what |
lose gain you see; and on such things
as clothes and shoes | seem to gain but
really lose Thus, if I buy my socks
too low, they'll still be higher-Dunc
says so-and shoes thought were high
last fall were really low shoes after all.
Mac says if | pay less for shoes or
hats, the maker has to lose. And if he
loses, then, you see, he charges up the
loss to me. Now, when / have to pay
him more, he reckons profits to his
store, and Duncan finds a share for
me in all of this prosperity.
The speeches shed a radiant light up
on the theme and make it bright; |
merely read them Ger and DER to find
more's less and less is more. In buy
ing hat, or coat, or vest. dear's cheap,
and cheap is dear at best. Highs low,

AS supposed clinching argument in
favor of the Canadian reciprocity
measure, President Taft says that
since opinion differs so greatly as to it's
effect, the only solution is to try it for
a while and if it proves injurious, re-
peal it. He says: eff it be found by
actual practice that there is an injury,
and permanent injury to the farmers
of this country, everybody knows that
they can sufficiently control legislation
to bring about change and a return
to the old conditions. In other words,
if you are in doubt as to whether a
given article is food or poison, try it.
If you live it is perhaps a food; if you
dle-Well, the question as to whether it
was poison or not would be settled any,
how. It perhaps has not occurred to
the President that this argument fits
other classes besides the farmer.
There is difference of opinion as to
whether the steel, cotton, wooden, rub
Der and other industries need protec-
ton. Why not follow the Taft logic
and put everything on the free list,
and try it? Such proposition would
at least have the merit of fairness,
giving all the same treatment.
