Kane and DIR. Hayes, the first white
men-apart from an occasional whaler
to visit the Eskimos, found some diff

Hayes account Of his first visit to a
native hut. After cordial welcome
he was pressed to eat.
"This." says Hayes. was an invita-
ton which I feared, but now that 1t
had come knew that it would be I'M
wise to decline 1t. The expression Of
thanks was one Of the few in their
language that l knew, and l made the
most Of this. They laughed heartily
when said koyenak in reply to their
Invitation, and Immediately a not very
beautiful young damsel poured some
of the contents Of the pots into a skin
dish, and, after slipping it to make
sure. as / supposed, that it was not
too hot. passed 1t to me over group

YOUR SORE TOE.

Do not nurse your grievance.

cd you do not nourish your grievance
and torture your family or friends by

Do not show your sore toe.
Half the sights you nurture are
fancied sights. Half the injuries for
which you put yourself into sort of
self martyrdom were never intended
for you.
You fed them until they were ripe.
Some persons put themselves in the
attitude Of looking for evidences Ut
neglect or injury. They find what
they are looking for. And then they
make themselves and their friends
miserable by chewing the cud of their
resentment.
How shall you treat your grievance!
Forget 1t.
The more you think Of thing Of
that sort the bigger it gets. The more
you drag it through your mind the
deeper you cut the channel until by
and by it becomes a we'll worn rut in
which your thought must travel
whether or no.
Get out of the rut.
Force yourself to think OF some
thing else. Make new channels for
your thought. Change the subject.
Get SO busy trying to make others
happy and thus making yourself hap
py that you have no time to bother
with grievances
That is one way.
Another way, which has high sane.

"what was the origin Of the phrase
for drunkenness. three sheets In the
windY" a landsman asked a sailor the
other day. "Well." said the sailor,
"I'll explain that matter to you. The
two lower corners Of a ships sail are
held taut by two ropes, one called a
tack and another called sheet. The
tack Is always kept very tight, but
the sheet il loosened according to the
wind. and the loosen the sheet is the
more freely the sail swings. II the
sail Is quite free its sheet Is said to
be in the wind Now. suppose that
all three of n ships sails we're quite
free. They would then fly about very
crafty, and the ship would wabble.
The course Of the ship would be zig
gag one. and the reason for this would
be that she had three sheets In the
wind That, l guess. is why a man
when he zigzags in his course Is said
to be three sheets in the wind ALSO"

ports and a decline in imports, which
left an excess Of $50. Ooo. 900 in ex-
PORTS in January compared with only
s1o,00o,o00 a year ago.
These are the favorable elements In
the situation. The unfavorahle feat
/ ures are few. yet important enough TO
require watching. Among these are
the supreme court cases. which may
not be handed down for some weeks
to come. Nevertheless, the fact that
these decisions will affect nearly 1900
holding companies. having more than
$4,000. 10000 of capital means that
a great mass of investors will await
the effect of these all-important de-
cisions with intense interest The i'm
preston gains that these companies
have been working against the law. II
this impression proves correct, it will
mean wholesale readjustment of this
mass OF capital to legal requirements.
OF course as We have often stated this
does not mean destruction of property
,
and IL the supreme court should point
the way of solution as Is generally ex-
pected no seriously disastrous shock
will follow. Nevertheless the uncer-
| tainty that must remain until the de-
cisions are announced, will be an i'm.
padiment TO activity in many minds
and an occasion for apprehension to
others. When the results are known
then we may expect a rebound as an
expression of relief. Concerning the
railroads, decision from the inter
state commerce commission has long
been expected. Something in the ma
ture of a compromise is anticipated,
since some of the western rates are
known to have been unreasonably
high, and many of the eastern rates
are admittedly very low. Upon the
whole it is evident that the railroads
are not now very fearful as to the
result of this decision; their conf
dence being shown by their activity in
| financing and carrying out projected
| improvements. It is known that some
of the railroads have not earned their
dividend in the last two or three
months, but better things are expect
ed of the future as traffic increases
and unnecessary expenses are cur
| tailed.
| The prompt passage of the reciproc
ity bill in the house at Washington
was encouraging. The concessions II
this measure upon either side are MOI
very great, but the movement is 9
step in the right direction. What the
action of the senate will be it is i'm
possible to determine at this writing
Should that body by any means fai
4 to act, there is a strong probability
that President Taft will call an extrs
| session. This, however. the senat,
does not desire, and for political rea
sons it is not considered good tactic,
to precipitate a general reopening o
the tariff question such as might cas-
lily happen in event of a special ses
sion.

Self Reliance,

The spirit Of self help Is the root Of
all genuine growth In the individual,
and. exhibited in,the lives OF many, it
constitutes the true source, Of national
vigor and strength. Help from with
out is often enfeebling in its effects,
but help from within Invariably invig-
crates. Whatever II done for men or
classes to certain extent takes away
the stimulus and necessity Of doing for
themselves, and where men are sub.
jected to overguidance and overgovern
ment the Inevitable tendency is to rem
der them comparatively helpless.--S Sam

By the present exhibition Of miniatures
and historic objects at the rooms Of the

in time grow TO be like the famous Metro
politan Of New York, which. it may be
recalled, had its beginning in private
house.
Several persons have signified their
willingness to contribute objects Of his
toric interest as soon as fireproof room
suitably situated can be found.
# il started that the general public is
but poorly informed to the abundance
and importance Of such material now in
the State. Baltimore and nearby counties
are said to contain more historic relics
than New York. and it is believed that an
opportunity IS here for the formation Of
. great museum that is far more pron,is-
ing than that presented at the inception
Of the now great museum of New York.

Better Late Than Not al All.

The pastor Of the little country church
had been much annoyed by having the
members OF his congregation struggle
Ia long after the service had begun.
One Sunday mofning. when he felt that
further forbearance with this fault was
impossible, he decided to rebuke some
conspicuous offender. About twenty
minutes later than the proper hour
there entered a mild hammered little
woman, one of the regular attendants
5f the church. but quite incorrigible In
her hardness. The minister looked up.
liked her with his spectacles and re-
marked:
SISTER you are very much behind
lime. / hope you win not be so late in
getting into heaven.
The little woman looked up, smiled
sweetly ana without d trace Of confu-
sion replied placidiy:
Il shan't care about that, doctor, so
eng as ! get there."
And now the pastor feels that the
smiie that went round the church some
now spoiled the effectiveness OF his
