Some people at first sight seem so
full of wisdom and capacity that
great things are expected of them.
When they fail to make good it is
found that with them everything was
upon the surface like thin veneer.
$ Strange as it may seem some wick
ed people would not be so dangerous
if they did not have some good quai-
tiles. Those qualities are the nast
which oftentimes catch susceptible
people to their ultimate injury.
What the world detests is sham.
A hollow, artificial politeness and pro-
fession may deceive for a time but
ultimately the sham is exposed and
the one guilty of it is covered with
contempt.
Some men hide their business light
under a bushel, as they never adver-

elsewhere where the light shines.

CHILDREN ARE WELCOMED
ture, But Number Must Accord With Income.

With the birth of offspring there comes to the French father and mother not only rapture ascribed by colder races to the emotional tenn perament of the Gaul, but an imme- diate sense of responsibility almost unknown in America. where the doors of opportunity for youth and manhood, as well as womanhood, are still open, with almost assured se- curity beyond of a livelihood.
 Although the coming of a child can be said, without fear of exagger- ation, to be commonly accounted as the greatest blessing that can de- scend upon a French household, it is, nevertheless, a blessing that must not be too often repeated The Malthusian doctrine has become the utilitarian practice of the race. To France alone must we look to find the education of an entire nation one limiting offspring to the gage of income. The joy in the possession of child is unquestionably immeas- urably enhanced by this process of selection, in point of nnnbers.- From Anna Bowman Dodd's "The Education of French Children" in Century.

HILLS HATRED OF SOCIETY
Confabulations at Private Dinners Were Particularly olstasteful
 to Former Senator.

David B. Hill was a tremendous worker. He disliked to attend pri- vatc and public dinners. He neither smoked nor drank. and the confabu- Iations at private dinners were es- pccially annoying to him. When he was a senator and living at the HO- tel Normandic in Washington he felt called upon to attend now and then private dinners An old friend called to see him one night. Hill was out to dinner The friend took a comfortable arm chair in the srna- tors room. read one of his hosts valuable books, smoked a cigar and waited. Hill came in at eleven o'clock, greatly annoyed.
 "There" he said. as he yankcd the boutonniere from the lapel of his dress coat and flung if on the floor and stamped on it." four hours vast ed Four hours of twaddle. think of it. Four hours never tO be re- covered. and all spent in such silly way"

KEEP IN TOUCH WITH HOME.
Girls Who Live Elsewhere, If They Are Wise, VIII Use the Malls
 Frequently.

Girls, who for any reason at all, are compelled to live away from home, should do anything to sweeten their lives and fill them with good cheer. One of the ways of accom- plshing this is to keep in touch and sympathy with the folks at home.
 Our greatest means of keeping in- terest in common with our home folks is correspondence. We should therefore use the mails freely. Write home often. Moreover, make your letters sunny and readable. If you have called on any relatives or friends of the family in the town or city where you are, tell the folks at home all about it. Tell them what you are doing, and how your work or studies are progressing. Inquire after all the folks at home. Remem- Der to let love and good cheer form the keynote of your missive. You will find that the spirit of cheerful ness and kindliness, in turn, will re- fleet on yourself, driving away and eradicating the sense of loneliness you perhaps experience at being sep arated from home and family.

TALKING RELIGION.

There are few people save those of ones own set with whom one can talk religion with rational calmness. When belief is mentioned each man retreats to his own peculiar cave. his own cyclone cellar he has dug to shelter himself from the confusion and terror of the Great Unknown. Safe there. he regards the world with a superior smile. Most minds are too small to entertain a relig- ious conviction in the living room, where it must jostle with common sense, and they therefore have a spare chamber where their faith can dwell in peace undisturbed by req son.-Rev. Frank Crane, in Chicago Post.

SAYS GOSSIP IS NECESSARY
Scientist Declares We All Demand 1t, Men Quite as Much as
 Women.

Prof. Charles Zucbin agrees with Prof. William |. Thomas of the Uni versity of Chicago that women gos- sip in order to give pleasant shocks to their vaso-mOtor systems and thus prevent sure death from boredom. Prof. XuebGn says men gossip as much as the other sex.
 "This process of giving shocks to the vaso-mOtor system is simply re- action. We all demand that" said Professor Zueblin. "Without it we should go insane, as so many isolat- cd farmers wives do. because they have no one with whom to gossip, no way of getting recreation. It is just the same with the animals we fasten into cages. They stalk back and forth until they go mad for want of little animal gossip.
 "The demand for reaction is not confined 10 farmers wives. It is universal Even the rich women who could have broader lives if they wished cling to their little set. evi- dcntIy preferring to gossip with the oId friends than to make new ones. If their vaso-motor systems demand gossip. they must certainly be satis- fed. It is gossiping, the reaction, that people need. ] Use the word people adyisedly, for women are not alone in their gossiping."

BIG FOUNDING OF THE DEEP
Long, Is Found Swimming In San Francisco Bay.

Sixteen feet was the length of the baby whale that the pilot boat Lady Mine found swimming in San Fran cisco bay. The baby was not black, like old whales. It was pink, like last summers dress that has been many times washed. There were no old whales nearby, and it was ap- parent to Captain Pentland, as he looked down from the deck of the Lady Mine, that the little whale was a founding. The sailors on the pilot boat say the captains heart was touched by the loneliness of the in- fant and that he knew it was hungry. They say that the captain went be- low deck and got an oil can and filled it with milk and brought it on deck so that he could give the lit- tie whale some dinner. That was good of the captain, but the whale was no longer there when he came back. Maybe the mother whale had been swimming under water not far away and had called her baby. At any rate the captain was left stand ing sadly on the deck of the Lady Mine, and in his hand was swinging an oil can full of milk.

REPORT AND MESSAGE.

The tariff board has reported.
President Taft has sent message to
congress. And the whole tariff mat
ter stands just where it did before
the board was appointed and the
president sought refuge, behind that
body, from the deserved criticism
for his course concerning the Payne
Aldrich bill
The board makes solemn an
nouncement that the duties on woods
and woolle goods are too high.
There is nothing new in such state
ment. 1t is asserted also that i'm
provements might be made in the
method of assessing the duties. The
country has heard of that before.
Mr.. Taft won lasting reproach by
asserting that the Ubiquitous Payne
Aldrich bill was the best tariff legis-
lation the country had ever known.
Afterward he admitted that certain
features of the measure were "inde-
fensible." Now he is glad to rest
his whole position concerning tariff
on the report of his personally-con-
Quoted board.
Now the men sent to congress last
November to legislate in the inter-
ests of the people will proceed about
the work of passing measures for
tariff reform.

SLANDEI. OF OLD SOLDIERS.

Some opponents of the Sherwood
pension bill SANDER old soldiers by
asserting that it is movement for
the benefit of "a lot of old takers"
that the present pension system is
t'honeycombed with fraud" and that
the bill, if passed, would simply fur
nish opportunity for grafters to
flourish on public plumber"
Such alleged argument is adopted
to make it appear that great body
of pensioners is composed Of cheats
and frauds.
There may be takers in the list of
old soldiers. What does that prove?
There are shysters among lawyers;
quacks among doctors; hypocrites
among preachers; scoundrel among
church members; pretenders among
fraternity workers; ghouls in grave
yards, and men in all walks of life
who would 'steal the livery of heav-
en- to serve the devil in
Because of such conditions, shall
the legal profession be abolished, the
practice of medicine abandoned,
churches destroyed and honorable
sculpture denied to the dead?
The government has in hand the
machinery to prevent and punish
pension frauds, and can readily pre-
vent swindles.
>. The Sherwood bill should become
a law because it's purpose is right,
and it's proposed beneficiaries deserve
the help it would extend.
Opposition to it, based on SANDER
of old soldiers, should arouse such
contempt for the opponents as to
hasten favorable action by the SEN
ate and prompt approval by Presi-
dent Taft.-Chicago Journal.

NO WOLF IN IOWA.

The picture of an Iowa farmer
driving to town with lumber wagon
load of his product and driving home
with q certificate Of deposit for
$1,653 received for the one load of
timothy seed proportions like the
fake photographs Of huge ears OF
corn and mammoth pumpkins which
make load for team. But in this
case the Iowa farmer did it. He
went to town with load of timothy
seed. sold it for over $1,000 and got
the money. He had hauled fourteen
loads Of barley in before he started
with the timothy seed, each of which.
brought him over 500 for his trou-
BILE. Then there were other small
matters which assisted to create a
bank account and conduce to COM
Portable feeling that the wolf isn't
within bowling distance of the
kitchen door of the farm house.
: Now that is quite lot Of money,
those two items noted above. 1t is
the product of an Iowa farm and
rented farm at that, and the cash is
to the renters account along with
some $4,000 Of mortgages and
other credits this renter has accum-
.ulated in Iowa. And it is one of the
many items of wealth production of
Iowa farms in the year 1911. Null
.tiply these items by the number of
Iowa farms-the items may be
shaded somewhat in amount and
note the astounding total. Of course
every farmer didn't haul $1,000
worth at one load, but every farmer
,hauls hogs and drives cattle to mar
sket or has so cent corn to sell to
those who do drive cattle in. Three
Thousand dollars is not marvellous
return from an Iowa 100. 1t isn't
quite $40 an acre and forty bushels
of corn or ton and quarter OF hay
bring the two ten spots anywhere in
the state.
When the number of good Iowa
farms is multiplied by 5000 or even
1900 the product when it represents
dollars ought to settle any doubts we
may have of the ability of Iowa to
sneer at prediction of hard times.
When we seek for a section in Iowa
which has not raised a fair crop we
shall fail to find it. There is all
kinds of good money being added to
bank deposits already above the high
water mark of farm deposits. The
savings banks tell the same story as
the commercial banks.
j 1t. is no time for frantic specula-
ton but it does appear that the pros
poets for legitimate trade should af-
ford sufficient grounds for business
to advance with confidence. The
money is in the country, plenty of it.
The stagnation which has checked
production in many industries has
given time for readjustment be-
tween demand and over production.
People with needs and plenty Of
money are going to supply the needs.
About all we need in Iowa, where
the farms flaunt defiance to starva-
tion and hard times, is to understand
that nothing can effect business
where the demand is norma! ard the
cash to satisfy (, is in our pockets. -

THE ATTACK ON SOLDIERS SER
VICE PENSION.

The political enemies of the Dem
ocratic house are now throwing, not
only fits, but spasms over the action
of that body in passing the "dolar-a-
day" pension bill. The New York
Post brands it 1.-The first great Demo-
cratic blunder, on a national scale,
since the election of 1870" and a
"cowardly surrender by the Demo-
Gratis to the pension machine" 1t Is
victorious measure" and an "un-
blushing raid on the treasury &C
cording to the Post. The Chicago
Tribune, the leading Republican or
gan of the middle west, says 1t has
always been friend of the old
soldier" but declares it cannot
stand this measure" Like the Post,
it brands the service pension bill as
"a raid on the national treasury
and demands that if it passes the
senate, it be vetoed by President
Taft.
We can hardly believe that these
expressions reflect any considerable
public sentiment. 1t is almost At
years since the war ended. The boy
of 20, who volunteered in 1861, If he
still lives is now an old man of 70.
To draw his dollar day pension he
must have served at least year as
a soldier, and have a present income
less than $1,000 year.
1t must take an extraordinarily
vivid imagination to see "wasteful
in thus paying $50 a
month pension, after so years, to
poor old men of 70 years and over
;,, hoi ric
and broke their health to serve their
country on the field of battle for SIS
a month!
Our national government is lavish,
even wasteful, in it's general expend-
itures Senator Aldrich, when chair
man of the senate finance committee,
said it wasted at least $300,000,000
a year that could be saved by bust
ness-like administration of its af-
fairs. The cost of the service pen
sion will be an average of perhaps
$4O,O0O,O0O a year-for a very few
years. In little while the last vet
eran of the great war for freedom
and nationalism will have gone to
his long rest. In the meantime, if
President Taft and his aids will in
stitute that business-like administra-
ton of which Senator Aldrich spoke
there will be no occasion to use the
veto on the soldiers pensions. They
can save enough to pay those pen
sions five times over every year, and
still have $100,000,000 left out of
the savings alone!
Under the circumstances we fancy
the president will think twice before
using the veto.-St. Joe Observer,
Democrat

what the farmer of the Missis-
sippi valley must learn, especially
those living west of the father of
waters, is that the people who con-
sumo farm products must be brought
closer to their base of supplies
says the Parkersburg Eclipse. "The
farmer realizes that it does not pay
him to pay transportation twice on
what he buys. When he does this
he will become a booster for home
manufactured articles, and in doing
this he will add to the wealth of his
home community"
