The Great Mystery Case

work is, and, also, constantly studying
the past TO know how we came by the
thoughts we think; thoughts which we
have received and which we apply to the
present and from them govern ourselves
about the future.
H..
So 1t Is q great case
Now, this group OF facts which lead up
to the present. and which also make the
present. are recorded in books. As you
become educated you may form the habit
Of reading books II you do, you may
be thankful, for you will possess habit
that can be made valuable.
This habit becomes valuable when you
use it as one Of the aids in your bust

ant habit, but not a thoroughly useful
one
Therefore. do not underestimate your
power to read. II is the key that win

past alone that unlocks the present and

Books that DO this for you are many
in number. but they are grouped under
few .heads, like history, biography, educa-
ton, science and the like. 1t is never
necessary to read them all-and, besides.

OF the past. In one OF these articles we
will present such a list as a suggestion
for those who are determined 10 solve
this mystery case.
But before the American boy touches a
single book. 1t should be clear to him
that the act OF making good IN the case
is worth his highest effort.
II should also be clear 70 him that:

RECIPROCITY NEXT WEEK
Hardest Fight Will Come Over the
Wool Bill.

Washington, July 1.-THE debate
in the Senate is dragging on toward
a vote on reciprocity, and the indica-
tons are that the Canadian bill may
be passed some time next week. 1t
is now evident that there is Just so
much talking to be got through with,
and every day devoted to debate
means day nearer the end.
When the reciprocity bill shall
have been passed the wooden bill,
which is already on the calendar,
will come up almost automatically.
Then Mr.. La Toilette will offer his
substitute amendment, with its high
er protection on raw wool and a pro-
lection of manufactured products,
which he estimates at Sc per cent as
against the As per cent. average OF
the democratic bill on manufactured
wool
Here will come the tug of war. If
the standpatters think the insur-
gents are sincere in their determine
ton to revise the schedule, even at
the expose of accepting the democrat
ic measure, Mr.. Penrose and his CO
horts will naturally force the higher
protection of the progressive meas
ure as a substitute for the revenue
democratic bill. And the democrats
will have to vote for the amended
measure as giving at least some re-
auctions under the present law
But If the regulars think the in
surgents will, under no circumstan-
ces, follow democratic leadership, as
some insurgents still say they will
not, they will aid the democrats in
voting down the insurgent amend
ments, and then with the aid OF the
insurgents, defeat the unamended bill
II is not easy 10 see how the insur-
gents, however can follow any such
course after the cutlery they have
raised against the present wooden
schedule. II they are making a
real fight for revision downward and
