A Marry Heart.

Cheerfulness should be matter fol
religious cultivation, as much as
honesty or benevolence. In truth, II
is a species Of beneyolence, as well
as invaluable IN its reactiopary effect
Conversely, moodiness and chronic de
preston are supreme form Of selfish
ness, unless occasioned by insanity
We have no more moral right to stand
In peoples sunlight than we have to
rob their coal cellars or strangle their
pet canaries-no more right to waste
their staying power than to drop
strychnine in their coffee.
An unreasonable moper is worse
than minus quantity in algebra, re
ducing renervatlng all around him.
One of the best short sermons ever
written is the poem about the old
woman whose cheerfulness and con
tentment are twins. "Cheerfulness is
the strongest chain with which to
bind husbands affections. Be bright
and merry before him, no matter
what little foxes are destroying the
vines in your own pet garden"

WAS LAST TO SING FOR KING
Nine. Lorraine, American Singer,
Sang FaVorIte Hymn for Late
King Edward VII.

Much is being made Of Nine. AlyA
Lorraine, the American opera singer,
by British aristocracy just now. For
she had the distinction of being the
last to sing for the late King Edward
VII. before his death
She sang for the king his favorite
hymn. Nearer, MY God, to Thee" at
his special request, for he seemed to
have had presentiment that the end
was not far off. 1t was at Biarritz
and the beautiful New York widow
rose well to the occasion. Anticipat-
ing that the king would ask for this
hymn, Nine. Lorraine stayed up sew
eral hours practising 1t on the previ-
GUS evening. When the service was
over, King Edward complimented the
soloist with peculiar emphasis and
said he hoped to hear her at Convent
Garden, Before leaving Biarritz he
sent Nine. Lorraine a present Of a
bracelet.
King Edward had already heard Of
her in connection with a successful
SOhCO1b buo gave III AOuuOu. Oue COA4-
piled series of songs composed by
royalty-some Of them by members Of
King Edwards own family-and at
this concert only these compositions
were performed.
Nine. Lorraine has been a student
Of the serious school, both in Florence
and Paris Six years Of hard study
has given her a fine finish Jean de
Reszke says Of her that she is an
Ideal Marguerite. Being big and
blonde and Of wonderful coloring, she
looks the part naturally. Though not
long before the public, Nine. Lorraine
has won laurels at Baden-Baden, The
Hague, Monte Carlo, Paris and Lon
don, and the adhesion Of the British
aristocracy to her cause this year
means that a record winter season
lies before her.-Kansas City Star.

Friday, January 13.

Washington, Jan. 13.-That the sen
ate at this session must face the
question whether the Constitution
shall be amended so as to require the
election of senators by direct vote
of the people was made apparent to-
day A vote, which many senators
considered a test of sentiment, re-
suited largely in favor of the propo-
sition. The matter came up in the
senate in connection with the joint
resolution for the amendment Of the
Constitution recently reported from
the committee on judiciary.
Senator Bailey effectively blocked
one administration bill in the senate,
providing for the enlargement of the
Engineer Corps Of the Army, and re-
marked significantly that he was pre-
pared to oppose the administration
scheme for the creation of tariff
commission.
The Gardiner bill, which would pro-
hibit the admission into the United
States Of any illiterate alien over 16
years old, was ordered today favor
ably reported to the house by the
committee on immigration.
Representative Hawley, of Oregon,
introduced a bill today granting
pension OF SIG month to all vet
Grams who served 30 days or longer
in any Indian war in the United
States prior to 1880.

Saturday. January il.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Congressm
James McLachlan, of California, to-
day presented to the house a critic
ism of the present state of the ma
tional defenses. The criticism was
written for the United Press by
Frederick Louis Huidekoper, and de-
clares that the country is now prac-
tically defenseless and at the mercy
of Germany, Japan or any first class
bower.
Among other things the report
says:
THE American people should know
that their army is in a lamentable
state, and that our means of de-
tense, except for the navy, are vir-
tually nil.
"The American army today has
only enough infantry ammunition
for one single engagement. The
field artillery does not posses enough
manufactured ammunition to fight so
much as one battle.
How long would our 80 regiments
of infantry stand against the 200,-
900 troops which Germany could
lclQ Ol luC AllduIlS NOdOlJ VI japan
on the Pacific coast, within five weeks
after the declaration of war?
1--WE Americans thing our militia a
wonderful force Nothing could be
further from the truth from a mill
tary standpoint
"War used to last 100 years or
more. Now it lasts one year or less,
and preparation must be made before
hand
THE location of army posts is
most defective. The war department
has tried to abandon posts worthless
from a military standpoint, but has
been compelled to countermand the
order, owing to political influence.
Never in our history have we
been prepared for war. A good bust
ness man cannot be made in day
or a month"; neither can good
soldier.
Washington declared that we
ought to have a good army rather
than large one Today we have
neither.

Crooked State House Deal

81, 100000 and the surrender of war
rants aggregating $200,000 upon
which payment had been stopped,
were made in the Dauphlin County
Court by the men convicted or other
wise implicated by Pennsylvania in
the Capitol frauds.
In consideration, the commonwealth
agreed to drop further criminal ac-
ton against the defendants indicted,
and, with the exception Of the case
Of Joseph M. Huston, of Philadelphia,
who is under an indeterminate SEN
tence of. from six months to two
years and who has an appeal in the
Supreme Court, the Capitol fraud
cases are declared ended and the
state satisfied.
The new Capitol, a magnificent
structure, with it's rich furnishings,
cost approximately $13,0O0,000. OF
this the state alleged it had been de-
frauded of about $5,00O,000. Up to
date the state has expended $107961
in prosecuting the cases. Restitution
of $1,595,740 is said to have been
made by certain defendants.

Thursday. January u.

Washington, Jan. 1G.-Captain Robt
e. Peary, Artic explorer, today was
formally approved by a subcommittee
of the house committee on naval af-
fairs.
The subcommittee at an executive
meeting, from which the two principal
opponents Of Captain Peary, Roberts
and Macon, were absent, adopted a
favorable report to the full commit
tee on the Bates BILL which extends
the thanks of congress to Peark and
retires him with the rank of Rear
Admiral in the Engineer Corps of the
Navy
Captain Peary is So years old, and
the action, if approved by the full
committee and agreed to by the sen.
ate, will place him Immediately upon
the retired list with about the same
pay-s6000-as he is receiving as a
captain upon the active list.
The report probably will arouse a
lively discussion in the house.
Significant progress was made today
in the movement for the creation of
a permanent Tariff Commission.
Not only did President Taft, in an
address at the banquet of the Ma
tional Tariff Commission Association.
openly indorse the Longworth bill, but
early today he summond the Repub-
lican members of the ways and means
committee to the White House and
urged them to harmonize their diff
ferenies.

MarIonette Theater.

One of the features of the theatrical
exposition which took place in Munich
recently was the marionette theater,
Of which an American, who attended
one Of the performances, writes: "The
Munich zoo, where the exhibition took
place, swarmed with theatrical peo-
pie, artists and patrons of the stage.
Every person found something to in
terest him, but the p ppet theater was
the chief attraction for us. We saw
two performances-Off Offenbachs 'Pret-
ty Maid Of Elizando' and King Viola
and Princess Clarinette,' by Muhl-
mann and Scherber So closely did
spoken words harmonic with the act
ing of the figures and so exactly did
the manipulators of the strings and
wires make the action suit the word
that one fancied he saw living pyg
mics on the stage"

The Ancient Incubator.

Few of those who wrestle with the
chicken-incubator problem, and often
fail to solve it, realize how old an art
they are struggling to master. Thou
sands Of years ago Egyptians in one
part of the world and the Chinese in
another had the art of incubating eggs
so highly developed that 1t was an
hereditary profession, the secret
guarded with religious sacredness and
handed down from father to son. The
odd stoves called mammals" that the
Egyptians used as incubators date
back to remote antiquity. Even be-
fore the French Revolution the Paris
markets had incubator chickens,
thanks to an apparatus, which was in
vented In France in 1777.
