Tho Difference In Speed,

The professor of shorthand in a local

thor of the well known 'Elegy In a

Safe and Sane Sunday

Now has come the season Of the
year when every Monday chronicles
thoose who died the preceding day IN
search of pleasure. Capsizins

sailboats and excursion steamers Sc
cure their share. Then there's the
auto that skids and the horse that
runs away, the gun that isn't loaded
and the enticing bathing beach And
that is saying nothing of the baseball
mobs and lacerated umpires. At the

A Prayer Ten Centuries Old.

Among the documents and man.
uscripts taken by the Pelliot mission
of France from a cave in Chinese
Turkestan, where they had lain dur
ing ten centutieS, is curious manu-,
script recorded by the French Acad-
envy of Sciences. The manuscript
is in one of the oldest known He
brew texts. 1t is prayer formed
of passages taken from the Psalms
and from the prophets, written in
beautiful square Hebrew, with a
very rudimentary system of vocali-
cation.
Evidently the manuscript was
carried on the person of the man
who owned it. Hebrew scholars
believe that the doCupent dates
from the eighth or ninth century
OF the Christian era, and that it be-
lOnged to a pious Jewish merchant
of Arabia. No such paper was
known in Arabia in either the eighth
or ninth century, therefore it is sup
posed that the manuscript was
transcribed for its owner when he
was in China, where such paper
was to be found.-Harper's Weekly

A Number of Sarcastic Truths.

Yes" remarked the country
merchant to a newspaper. reporter,
Il certainly have snap. The
wholesale houses send me duns
every month and draw on me at
sight; but If | send a bill to a farm
er he comes in swearing mad and
quits trading at my store. While |
am hard up for money many Of
those who owe me are sending cash
in advance to mail order houses. If
| contribute money to any cause
people say | am bidding for trade;
if | don't people say | am a hog.
Every day am expected 10 dig
up for everything that comes along
from rattle ticket to a church fund
by people who say ought to do this
because they do part of their trad
ing here; but my friend Montgomery
Ward neither buys rattle tickets nor
helps the fund and yet gets cash in
advance business; and if | were to
circulate a subscription paper among
the wholesale city houses where we
trade | would get the laugh proper.
If sell a pair of pants | must treat
the family to candy and cigars; if |
buy a load of potatoes must do the
same. Customers are able to hang
on to their money while | pay 10
per cent at the bank to get ready
cash, | have a big business during
hard times and poor crops from
people who are willing to trade
with me providing | can duplicate
catalogue prices and wait until af-
er harvest for my money. My
scales weigh too heavy when / sell
sugar and too light when l buy but
ter. l am thief, a liar and graft
er. If | give to charity am a soft
soapy hypocrite; if l don't | am a
grump. Yes this is certainly a snap"
And then he looks over $4,000

The Mystery of Theodosia Burr.


One of the greatest mysteries in
the history of the United States was
the disappearance of Theodosia Burr
the beautiful and devoted daughter
of Aaron Burr. For a number of
years before she fell IN love with
and married a rich Southerner,
TheOdosia was the undisputed belle
of New York, Her fathers position
in public lite would have assured
her great recognition, but her de-
votion to him, even after he had
become disgraced, brought her tav-
orable comment and admiration.
After Aaron Burr had dritted to
Europe to escape the sCorn which
he met with from his former friends
on all sides, his daughter had gone
to Charleston to live and soon after.
as the vile vi Gov. Joseph Aston OF
South Carolina. became the first
lady OF that state, during which
time little was heard of her. When
her father, alter spending miSer-
able existence abroad, decided to
return to this country, lneOdOSla
planned to visit him, Her only son
Aaron Burr Aston, has just died.
The blow had almost broken her
heart and she expected to find con-
ISOLATION in a visit to her father.
But the law of South Carolina at
that time prohibited the governor
from leaving the state, so TheOdOsia
was compelled to make the trip
alone. On December 81, 1912, she
set out, with a few servants and a
picked crew, in a sailing ship, the
Patriot. 1t was but a short time
before the vessel had cleared the
Charleston bar and was out of sight
and from that time nothing was
ever heard of the ship or any of its
crew or passengers. Not even a
bit of wreckage of the Patriot was
found to bear evidence as to what
had happened. Whether a storm
sent the craft to the bottom with
all on board, or whether it was
looted and sunk by an enemy or
fell a prey to pirates, who may have
killed Theodosia or sold her as a
slave in the Orient is unknown to
this day. For a number of years
thereafter there was an uncOnfrmed
rumOr that she had been captured
by pirates, but as she was very rich
and could have paid d heavy ran
som for her release, this does not
seem likely. She is dead" her
father always declared, for if she
were alive, all the prisons in the
world could not keep her from her
father" and he was probably right
in his assumption. Elk.

Protection to Labor.

The government has spent a
large sum of money in investigat-
ing the condition of immigrants
from foreign countries to the Unit
ed States. The report is a most
favorable one, the general recon-
mendation being that what we are
pleased to regard as the lower
classes" of laborers are as a rule in
telli6ent, industrious and economi-
cal
Mr. Paul kellogg, Of the immi-
grafton commission, makes a sug-
gestion that should cause US to
sit up and take notice" The sug.
eestion is that for the first years it
shall be unlawful to employ these
laborers at less than $3.50 day.
In other words, it is scheme for
the protection Of labor OF course,
no person can compel anybody t.
employ them; but if the WAGES Of
immigrant unski!lei Labor were put
at $3.50 per day, the trusts, whose
main argument fpt lssl 1ritf is
that they may be able 20 pay hijl
wages, would be Obliged to pay that
for other unskilled labor,
We have had this idea running
in our head for about twenty years:
that if protection should be given
to cover the difference in the cost
of production in this and other
countries, the women of this coun-
try should have some protection for
their product, which is the Ameri-
lean laboring man. This would in
volve a much higher degree of pro-
lection than Mr.. Kellogg proposes
in his report, or the difference in
cost of production in Europe and
America. A tariff equal to the diff
ference i'll cost of production would
no doubt be prOhibitive: but if we
are to subsidize ships, where tariff
would be ineffective, why not sub.
SidiZe mothers, not out of the treas.
ury directly, but by levying a tax
on bachelors?
Some funny questions come up
when we get to thinking seriously
about fundamental questions. We
can do at least this much for our
foreign immigration: We can pro-
teCt them from robbery and deCep-
ton when they land at our ports.
We can steer those of them who
were bred on the farm to the agri-
cultural sections. where they are
needed, instead Of allowing them to
be crowded into the cities. If the
report of the commission leads to
this, the cost of the investigation
will be money well spent, though it
be a large sum. WaIlaces' Farmer.
