CONTRIBUTIONS
 AND LEGISLATION
MAY HAVE BEEN REASON WHY CONGRESS DID NOT REVISE
 THE WOOL TARIFF. [

Washington, Sept 24--An invessi-
 gation to determine whether cam paign contributions had anything to do with the refusal of congress to re- |vise the woolen tariff in the special
 session of 1909, has been started by Chairman Clapp of the senate com mittee Investigating campaign expen- ditures. It is understood, he is pre-
 pairing to submit to the full commit
 tee list of witnesses, including the
 names of Former Speaker Cannon,
 Representative Mckinley of Illinois, and Representative Weeks of Massa-
 chusetts, and representatives of va rious branches of the woolen industry with the recommendation that they be questioned as to any knowledge they may have of campaign funds fur |nished in the congressional fight of 1908.
 A number of eastern men interested III fdiiouo piduCHcs Ol lHe WOOitu business, particularly in the so-called "carded wo0len" industry, recently have been in conference with Sena- tor Clapp. The senator declined to- day to say whether he had any spe- | cific information relative to campaign contributions by woolen interests
 The worsted manufacturers have been
 charged in congress with being espe-
 cially favored by the tariff. as dis tinguished from nhe carded woolen
 manufacturers.
 | The purpose in summoping the three congressman named, 1t is un- derstood, is to ascertain facts sur
 rounding a conference said to have
 been held in Boston in 1908 between
 members of congress and men inter ested in the worsted woolen manufac- turing business. Worsted manufac- turers are said to have had con- ference later at Chicago over tariff matters with representatives of the sheep raising interests of the western Rocky Mountain states. and it is be- lieved this also will be the subject of inquiry by the senate committee.

PROBLEM OF AIDING DEPENDENT CHILDREN
REMEDIAL LEGISLATION AND MORE ACCIDENT INSURANCE
 IS ADVOCATED.

Washington, Sept. 24.-Remedial legislation, including old age pensions and non employment insurance, was proposed as a solution of the problem of dependent children and needy fam flies by Former Judge afisaiaei F. Cir ten of Chicago, at the national confer ence of Catholic charities today.
 Judge Girten said, GOO, that accident and industrial insurance, if property managed, would do much to prevent children becoming dependent upon the state. and said if the plan of sickness insurance were adopted, many fami- lies would not be broken up and scat !. tered among charitable organizations, as happens now frequently.
 He told how these measures we're established in Germany and other Eu- ropean countries and said many If the large corporations of this countsy had adopted pension systems for their employees.
 Mrs. Edward Mandell of New York said she was opposed to taxing those who are industrious for support of the indo!ent classes.
 Joseph w. Brooks of Baltimore, dis cussing the after care of families, ? said the family on cne verge of de- pendence needs more attention than the family with starvation staring 1t in the face
 Practically all of the addresses and papers today dwelt with the question of aiding dependent children and un- fortunate families.
 Rector Barnabas, of the Lincoln ag- ricultural school at Lincolndale, N. r., told the conference that many friend less boys taken off the streets of New York City had become efficient and useful men on the farms in New York state.

Terry Turner, the third baseman of the Cleveland team. Is having one of the best years he has experienced since joining the ranks of the major leaguers. Terry has been hitting in fine shape all season and has been fielding like he did in the days when he broke into fast company and was known as the demon shortstop of the Maps. While the Clevelands, under Manager Harry Davis, have been a disappointment this year. the playing of Turner has been one of the bright
 spots in the work of the club. Terry, once regarded as among the greatest shortstops on the diamond, had con-

What 10 Happinoss?

Happiness is the greatest paradox In
nature. 1t can grow in any soil. live
under any conditions. It defies envi-
ronment. 1t comes from Within 1t Is
the revelation Of the depths Of the in
ner life as light and heat proclaim the
sun from which they radiate. Happi-
ness consists not of having. but OF be-
ing; not Of possessing. but of enjoy
ing. 1t is the warm glow Of heart at
peace within itself. A martyr at the
stake may have happiness that king
on his throne might envy. Man is the
creator of his own happiness. 1t Is the
aroma Of a life lived in harmony with
high ideals. For what man has he
may be dependent on others: what he
II rests with him alone. What he OBJ
tains in life is but acquisition; what he
attains is growth. Happiness Is the
souls Joy in the possession OF the In

A NEW WAY OUT OF JAIL.

When Gov. Hunt of Arizona re-
leased from the Florence penitentiary
the other day a convict who had in
vented a method of extracting elec-
tricity out Of the earth's atmosphere.
he gave a great boost to reform in
the conduct of our penal institutions.
Believing that one Of the inmates of
the prison had made a great discov'
cry, the governor gave him leave OF
absence to go to Washington to OBJ
tain a patent. So marvellous was the
Notwithstanding device that the
examiners laughed at him, for they
we'll knew that Edison and Tesla had
tried in vain to do what this young
jailbird claimed to have done; but,
bidding him build a model that they
might see for themselves, he per-
formed the task so we'll that letters
patent were issued forthwith. Where
upon having protected himself
against a thieving society which 9TH
erwise might have robbed him of his
brain-child, the conscientious convict
took the return train for the sage
brush, and is now once more safe be-
hind the bars.
Hereafter felOns with an inventive
turn of mind need have no fear of
the lockstep or rock pile. If they be-
come dissatisfied with prison fare,
and conclude that little vacation
would brace them up, it will only be
necessary to convince the warden
that they have discovered a new per

Early MANUSCRIPTS.

The type Of letters in early manuscript
was the same as that of those used on
the earlier metal plates and wax tab
lets. All letters were capitals. Minus
cule. or small lettering, as opposed to
the majuscule. was invented in the
seventh century. Before its invention
there was no spacing between tie
words. There was no punctuation un-
less possibly some mark between SEN
tences. When cursive writing came
Into general use. about the beginning
OF the tenth century. the art was prac-
ticed BY only few highly trained
scribes. This continued all through
the middle ages. The scribes were art
lists. and they carried their art to a
high degree Of perfection. Many Of
the manuscripts Of that period are very
beautiful specimens Of handiwork and
as perfect as print.
