Mrs. Gibson had requested her husband
to stop in at their family Doctors to get
a certain promised prescription, and, there
being no one else in waiting, the doctor
had offered him a cigar and they had
chatted pleasantly together for a few
moments.
How is Mrs. Gilson?" asked the doc
tor, after they had discussed Wall street
and local politics.
She is pretty well, considering her
family cares" replied ellison, and then
he added: THE servant question is re-
sponsiblc for more trouble than anything
else. Have you ever thought of a reme-
dy?" he asked, looking at the doctor
earnestly. Recent complications had
made the thing uppermost in his mind,
think how much of his thought it occu-
pied; this led him to veil his question
with show of indifference.
"I have" said the doctor, ''and have
given it up. It's a fundamental physio-
logical problem; it's due to the innate in
compatibility of two women when brought
into contact. 1 see no solution"
Trouble with His Wife.
''I wouldn't say this to any one else"

doesn't make allowances, and she doesn't

nervous she takes it out on the cook, and
the cook, being constitutionally the same,
naturally resehts it; thus trouble. ensues.
Why, if I should treat, one OF the boys
in my Office with the same inconsistency
that my wife does her servants 1 wouldn't
expect him to stay; and even If he did
stay wouldn't expect to get any results
from him.
.'Of course not; but have studied the
thing In all of its aspects, and I don't
see how 1t can be remedied, unless you
can change the organic mature Of

'T suppose that's so.'' said ellison, with
a sigh. well, must be going"
On his way home he stopped at the
local post-office Looking over to the
money-order window, he recognized their
new cook.
Anything I can do for you. Bridget?'
he asked, pleasantly.

ping him curtesy; 81 was after sinding
home some money to me mother"
An idea suddenly occurred to ellison.
He was in that mood where he was pre-
pared to try anything. He was positive
that under ordinary circumstances this
cook would stay with them less than a
month. They never did stay longer. His
wife's nerves always got the best Of her
at some critical momenk and then the
crisis came.
Il hope you like your new place, Brid-

tired out and
He paused, secretly conscious of some
thing disloyal to his wife. and determined
to 60 no further. Bridget's face slightly

ADVICE FROM AFFAIR.

In the bundle of papers daily re-
ceived at the Pioneer office there was
yesterday found circular mailed in
Wellington, New Zealand, printed by
the Evening Post of that city and
sent out by S. Pearson on April TO-,
in an apparent effort to influence
Americans to cause religious training
in the public schools of the country.
The circular advises how this prop
erly could be, done and cites some
striking reasons why some sort of
moral instruction should be given.
The circular, to prove it's point,
quotes from DR.. John Milo Maxwell,
the New York physician as follows:
'The best obtainable statistics lead
to the conclusion that 80 per cent. of
males contract sexual disorder before
they are thirty; that various author
tiles assert that between IS and 80
per cent. Of abdominal and pelvic
operations on women are due to the
infection that ensues; and that per-
haps 80 per cent. of the blindness in
the new born is due to the same
cause. Finally, that one-sixth of
the whole population is infected with
syphilis either acquired or heredi-
tary.'' ... r.
Commenting on this the New Zea-
land circular says: q.
"In reference to above, the opinion
Of New Zealand doctors on the value
of religious instruction in state
schools is of great value.
''The New Zealand branch of the
British Medical association sat in
conference at Wellington, New Zea-
land, February, 1910, and one of the
members read paper dealing. with
the prevention of syphilis; and it is
a noteworthy fact that most of the
doctors who took part in the discuss
sion on the prevention of this hor-
rible disease were strongly of the
opinion that some form of religious
instruction should be given in our
public schools as an aid to self-con-
troll. DR.. E. Robertson of Auckland,
said: 1T was curious that confer
ence was thus thrown back upon re-
ligious education, the only logical
sequence which had been urged. In
our public Schools he urged, the
government had excluded the strong
est moral force from the commun-
ity.' -

Some DisagreeabIe I hinqs.


In every issue of every newspaper
published there are items that are
offensive to some readers. It is i'm
possible to prepare a paper that will
suit the tastes, meet the desires or
advocate the ideas of all who. see it.
The best that can be done is to print
all the news that can be found in a
fair and impartial manner and it is
a poor periodical that shows either
fear or favor.
There are many disagreeable
things with which an editor who
tries to do his duty has to contend.
1t is not a pleasant task to expose the
weaknesses or shortcomings of any
one but newspaper is daily COM
PEELED to do so. A friend may have
wandered from the straight and mar
row path. He is dragged into court;
sentence is passed. The public ex-
poets to read the history of the case
and it becomes the duty of the news
paper to print it.
Again, a prominent citizen, in a
moment of aberration, may clutch
the trigger of revolver sending
bullet through his brain. 1t would
be easier to deceive the readers by
saying he died of heart failure but
that would be an absolute untruth.
A live newspaper must convey the
facts to it's readers. 1t does not need
to pry itself into the sanctity of the
home or shatter regulations by print
ing idle gossip, but just what is news
is question unanswerable. An ed
itor must use his own best judgement
and let it go at that.
That does not mean that a paper
can, with propriety become chummy
with its subscribers, thus: "Bill"'
Brown was over from Brainerd to-
day. Bill" likes Bemidji, but
certain party here BETTER While
newspaper doesn't have to be as
solemn as judge it ought always to
maintain certain degree of dignity.
Then, too, there is the weakness
of needing the request to suppress or
warp news. Within the past "a
hours paper published in a certain
Minnesota city of 10000 inhabitants
published an item denying a report
that certain person had committed
suicide, but the name of the person
was not used. 1t was apparent that
the paper, out Of consideration for
relatives, omitted the name, and it
probably did right in doing so but
it seems to us it erred in printing
the item at all if the name was not
to be used, for the time may come.
when the name will be used, rela-i
tives of the victim failing to protest.
1t has been said that mo gentle:
man will ever knock another gentle
man down, but it must be done some
times" The illustration is pertinent.
For instance, if man whom the
newspaper knows to be a knaye and:
rogue, insists in seeking pap from
the public it at once is the duty of

ABOUT FINGER PRINTS.
Little Chance Of Making Mistakes In
Identification.

Little Chance Of Making Mistakes In
Identification.
According to a paper read before the
French Academy of Sciences at a re-
zen meeting. Identification by means
of finger prints is almost absolutely
infallible. The investigator, on whose
researches the paper was based. mag,
nified the prints about five times and
divided each into an equal number of
squares. which were then studied sep
arately and compared as to the inter
ruption. branching off, and direction
of curvature of the lines.
Thus he discovered that in order to
find in any square common character
istics in two different individuals he
must examine 16 prints; for three
characteristics. 81 prints; for four. 25f
prints. etc. According to the rules OF
the calculus Of probability, it would
then be necessary in order to find sew
enteen common characteristics in the
finger prints of two individuals to
examine approximately 17,OOO,0OO,OO
prints, or. in other words, seventeen
characteristics are only a small mum
Der compared with the whole number
of characteristics found in any tndi

Wireless Records Rainfall.

The officers Of the French steamship
Niagara declare that the wireless tele-
graph operator of the ship is able by
wireless to hear rain falling upon the
sea at a great distance. The sound IS
like the patter Of rain on a zinc covered
deck, and it's increasing or decreasing
intensity tells whether the squall is
approaching or receding. The follow
ing explanation is given by e. Courte'
vile, second officer Of the ship: 1.-The
night being clear and dry, we have an
isolated cumulo nimbus cloud loaded
with electricity-positive, for example
and the sea underneath is charged with
negative electricity. At a certain in
slant, when the distance between the
raindrop and the sea is small enough.
a minute spark originates, giving a
very small Hertzian wave. 1t is the
superposition of these numerous rudi-
mentary undulatiops that gives the pat
tering effect in the wireless receiver"

Electric BaIinq Presses.

It has been an almost universal
practice to operate baling presses by
hydraulic power. This has entailed
considerable expense in localities where
water pressure could not readily be
obtained. 1t was recently suggested
that electricity could be used to ad-
vantage for this purpose. Presses of
this sort are now in operation. The
table which carries the bale is suspend
ed by means of four steel cables from
the press head. The cables pass over
several sheaves to the winding drum,
which Is connected to a reversible
motor. BY this means the table is
pulled up toward the press head. com
pressing the bale. An automatic brake
is provided for holding the bale under
pressure.
