SMoOT BACKS WOOL FIGHT

Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah one
of the most unrelenting reactionaries
in public life, is to direct the admins
tration tariff on the floor Of the United
States senate.
That Smoot Is to be the administra-
ton spokesman in the contest over
the revision of the wool schedules,
around which the entire tariff discus
sion will center, Is a matter Of keen
satisfaction to the wooden manufacture
ers Of the country in general and to
the directors of the so-called wooden
trust in particular.
SmoOt, a member of the powerful
Senate Finance committee, had his
training for the important part he has
been designated to play during this
session, under the tutelage of former
Senator Nelson w. Aldrich.
The Mormon church, of which Smoot
is an apostle, is understood to be inter
ested in the manufacturing as we'll as
the sheep raising end of the wool in
dustry. This bill, as Washington now
recognizes, was reduction in the ext,

heavy one. There are breeders who
declare that unless they can sell each
of their yearlings for price close to
$500 they do not make a reasonable
profit, but in the South, where labor
is cheap and where the initial cost of
much of the land was fairly low, it
is possible for breeders to make
money from sales at lower figures

LOEB MAY BE CHAIRMAN

It is the generally expressed opinion
among wise politicians that if Presi-
dent Taft is renominated as the candi-
date for the presidency on the Repub-
lican ticket Collector Loeb, of New
York, will be chairman of the Re-
publican National committee.
The story of the rise of William
Loeb Jr, is one of hard work, an I'M
conquerab1e determination to succeed,
backed by a love for the political
game, combined with keen insight into
character.
Mr.. Loeb is of German descent. The
straitened financial circumstances
of his parents forced him to leave
school before he had finished the
course and prohibited any thought of
a college education. He took up the
study of law, but finding that slow and
improbable he studied stenograp2y
between times and later branched out
into shorthand reporting.
From the start he was interested in
politics and worked hard for his dis
trict chief. In 1888 he was so well kn
succeeded in having himself appointed

FREDERICK TOWNSEND MARTIN, long the social arbiter of New York's "4O0,' but who has lately confined his efforts to movements for the improve ment of existing conditions under which United States diplomats are oblized to fulfill their duties in for eign stations, has announced that he will write a book on Society, which, while it may shock, he expects will do great deal of good. In his opln- ion the only thing wrong with socie- ty is that it recognizes no condition other. than it's own. That is why so- ciety is yawning it's head of. bored to death. MT, Martin intends Ito show society people in his book that there is something larger in life than the deadly dull of selfish, circumscrip- ed environment which they have wasted so many of their years.

REMEMBER THE LOVED ONES
Pathetic Religious Ceremony That ls Observed ky People of the
 lsle of ushant.

In the Island of Ushant---the "Isle of Fear''-there exists custom prob ably unknown ill any other part of Christendom. When native dies abroad or is lost at sea, his relatives have 8 small wax crcss made, some seven inches long. This is solemnly taken to the church and presented to the priest, who deposits it in box, shaped like cinerary urn, that hangs on the south siie af tEe altar of St. Joseph. This IS called tho gro Ella" cross, and is supposed to stand for the spirit cf3 the dead. These memo rial symbols arc allowed to accumu- late in the box till the neSt church mission comes round. AR these revi- val services are held only once in ev- cry four or five years, tho number of crosses may be very considerable. A day is then set apart for their solemn interment. It is tho great day, the climax of tho mission. The church is draped in black aud crowded with a mourning congregation, many of whom break out into loud wailing. The crosses are brought from their urn in solemn procession, requiem mass is said over them. and then they are carried to tho churchyard, the iron door of the tomb is unlocked, and they arc inferred with full honors. Throughout the year hardly cay passes but some pious soul cor2es to sprinkle tho tomb with holy water and say a prayer before 1t for the doad.-Wido World Magazine.

Coffinjess Funeral.

The Bacchanalian funeral in Italy. which took half a day to reach the burial place, is, very like what Dean Ramsay tells of bygone Scotland. There was the old maiden lady of Strathspey wEo bade her granddaughter see that as much whisky was used at her funeral; as had been used at her baptism. The churchyard was ten miles from her home; it was shorl November day; and night was closing in when the funeral procession ar rived. "But whaur's Miss Ketty?" ask ed the grave digger, and being an swered, 'fIn her coffin, to be sure" he still missed the coffin. The party, dur ing a halt at wayside inn, had rested it on a. dyke, and forgotten it when they resumed their way; and the in terment had to be postponed until the next day.

GIVE REALITY TO THE CHILD
Writers of the Nineteenth Century Responsible for Valuable Addt-
 tion to Literature.

Children were only found yesterday. Before the nineteenth century the Child mind and the child heart were not supposed to have enough in them 10 interest the majestic adult. It IS truc that you find delightful baby in Homer; that in vergil there is the prcttiest glimpse of little girl, and np and down in the classics you may meet half dozen other pleasant shadows of children. But they are only shadows, only ct tho most charm. ing pictures They give you as much as if they were painting or sculpture for in children's bodies art has al ways had interest enough---only what \ child looka like. the pretty weak. ness. tho instinct for play, tho native gesture and movement. Not till the aretuYn to nature" not till the spirit If romance moved on the waters at the end of the eighteenth century. do you ind roets beginning to tell Of the fhourht and faith in 8 child's mind, fhe myeteries of the child's heart, the ehiciea that are dreams and the ian cies that are visions. You may think int they have gons too far. that they read into childhood the labortous u:,f,osophixipg and sometimes the la Scred sentirAentality of the adult. But ,Io *one who loves children will deny fhat the best of the children in nine. feenth century books have far richer < r,eslity. a far fuller life than any that ufere born in earlief words. And some of fho best are in Dickens.

Hurt of Unkind Words.

.Unkiud words are sharper than swords, If you cut your finger there is but temporary pain. If your heart is hurt with sarcasm or brutal speech the suffering continues as long as your memory is working Since We al know the agony of injured feelings Il certainly bchocves all of us to Ne sparing with stinging conversation As one grows wiser and older one pays little heed to what others say. Unkind things then apparently don't have the power to hurt. The older. wiser ones just twirl their thumbs and smile. It is a great relief when one gets to that point of perfect tranquil iitv.

Laot of schaotgcoke Indians.

Tho few survivors of the Litchiielo county {Conn.) tribe of Schagticoke Indians own ,3c0 acres of lana and i've houses, valued at $S.c00. besides little personal property. They subslst by selling potatoes and other products, cutting railroad ties and wood and working on neighboring farms. The tribe is reduced to ignorance and pow erty au result of leading shiftless lives and by intermarriags and mix lures of races. The great event at the reservation is the annual rattsesnake hunt In the spring, when the paleface ioins in the sport and furnishes all the whisky antidote needed.

Neglected Utopia.

Why is the earthly paradise unat- Inactive? Everything that human in- Eenuity can do to make an ideal dwelling place out of Australia has been done. It is the Utopia from which reformers drew their sugges- tions for improvements, and it ex- ports to other lands more fads for betterment than any other product. Yet Australia. the source of plans for happiness to all the world, is sadly neglected by seekers after happiness,

kins, president OF tho University OF
Omaha, speaking on the Men and Re-
ligion Forward Movement before the
Omaha Womans club yesterday.
Boys from IL to Is years OF age are
hard to keep hold Of and they do not like
to be taught by women. Most OF our
Sunday school teachers are women. II
is sad fact that Is per cent Of our boys
are not in the churches and Sunday
schools.
The moral life In the high schools Ia
not what It ought to be. Students are
lacking In the clean cut moral percep-
lions which they ought TO have. This Is
a problem for the men to solve. Instead
Of beginning with the boy. we must first
get the man Interested and concerned
about the boy. He must set the example
for the boy"

conditions in Omaha which are problems
