SEAS EAT THE CONTINENTS
Process Of Erosion, However, Protects
the Land by Building Sand and
Single Beaches.

A great deal Of interest is taken
in England in the question of coast
protection. The ocean, assailing the
cliffs, gradually tears them away,
but this very process furnishes a de-
tense for the land by building up
long beaches of sand and single,
which arrest the waves before they
can attack the cliffs. An effort is
making to prevent, or better regu-
late, the removal of this material
for construction and road building,
because in many places its removal
has permitted the sea freely to exert
its power of erosion.
The ordnance survey has ascer-
tanned that in the last 35 years Eng
land has lost 6,64O acres by sea ero-
sion, and gained $4,000 acres
through retaining land, the exist
ence of which is mainly due to ma
terial brought down by the rivers

the exercise of greater wis

theory that it is only fair to

PAGE HAD PLENTY OF MONEY
How Alexander N. Dockery's Little
Plan to Evade Borrowing Friend
Fell Through.

Alexander NJ. Dockery, former
governor of Missouri, was at one
time member of the house of rep
resentatives, and, while filling the
job, made the acquaintance of a
needy young man who formed the
habit Of borrowing too much money.
Dockery got tired of being touched"
every few days and decided to put
stop to it.
One day he was called out Of the
house chamber by the borrowing
friend.
"Say, Dockery," came the usual
request, s'can you lend me twenty"
Dockcry looked grieved and cast
down, felt in all his pockets and
nearly succeeded in squeezing out
tear from his left eye.
81 haven't got cent" he said in
sepulchral tone.
At that moment he spied a page
boy coming down the corridor
boy who, he knew, was always hard
up. The legislator saw way Of
making an effective escape.
ssI don't even know where [ could
borrow the money for you, Ben," he
concluded. Turning quickly, he
called the page. Cray, my boy" he
said kindly, shave you twenty dol
lars with you?"
The boy put his hand into pock-
ct, Dockery took few steps toward
the door and the would-be borrower
began to mourn.

WILL WE PROFIT BY PAST MIS-
TAKES?

One mistake the people of many
western states make is that of
changing the personnel of their
congressional delegations too Of
ten. People seem to act upon the
theory that these positions are
honors that should be passed
around SO that as many worthy
citizens as possible may add to
their names the prefix honorable. !"
This we believe is looking at the
matter from an entirely wrong an
gle. AS general proposition it
is bad policy for the electors of a
state to change its representatives
in either branch of congress unless
the incumbent is entirely out of
harmony with the views of his
constituency and persists in remain
ing so, or has, for any good reason,
become discredited at Washington,
or is incompetent. 1t has frequent
ly happened in this and other ives
tern states, that no sooner had
senator or representative become,
to use more expressive than ele-
giant phrase, onto the ropes and
so worked his way tip to place
where he is recognized as person
worthy to be reckoned with and
thus accomplish something for his
state, than the people. for no good
reason. elect him to remain at
home. The unwise defeat of the
late Senator Kittredge is an exam
pie in point.
One reason why the east is rep
resented by so many men who ex-
ert so great an influence in nation
al affairs is because they are re-
peatedly returned and in this way
gain place on important commit
tees, get an acquaintance and
knowledge of how important mat
tiers are accomplished that cannot
be acquired by the average legis-
lator in single term. Statesman
ship is thing a man learns by ex-
perience and study. No matter
how brilliant laynan may be he
soon finds upon his arrival at
Washington as the representative
OF a state, that applied statesman
ship requires knowledge of GER
tain intricate matters which it be-
hooves him to get into his system
before he can hope to cut much
ice."
At present South Dakota is rep
resented at the nations capitol by
men who exert no small influence
in legislative affairs. Three of
them ask to be returned and il is
pretty certain, unless the mass in
telligence OF the people go wrong
again, that they will be.

Don't In Care Of Ear
That May Save Hearing

Attention to yhe following rules would
save much pain to many and keep at
bay the deafness to which some are pre-
disposed: Never neglect pain IN the
ear. Battle the surrounding parts. with
very hot water and tie a flannel band
age over the ear. II 1t is not better in
a day or SO, go to a doctor.
Never put cotton wool into the ears
except by medical order; never put eny-
thing into the ear to ease pain on your
own responsibility; never wet the hair
at night. and II there is a tendency to
deafness never do so at any time: never
scratch the ears with anything but the
finger tip. and II they itch intolerably
bathe them with hot water.
Never put oil into the ears; never sit
with the back to an open window, or
rush from cold air into the warm, or
vice versa, or sit with damp. cold feet,
or go out in a high wind IL disposed to
deafness. II an insect gets into the ear,
a few puffs of tobacco smoke blown
into the canal will stupefy 1t, and then
by gently pouring warm water into the
ear II can be removed.
II bead, pea, or seed Of any kind
gets into the ear. leave 1t absolutely
alone until 1t Is removed by a DOCTOR
