BETTER THAN THE DOC SONG


 From the New York Tribune. The death yesterday of William F.
 Harrity, once chairman of the demo- cratic national committee, recalls the fact that he recognized the advantages of the lyric in politics long before the Champ Clark houn song was ever heard of. In 1892, when Chicago was seething
 with delegates to a democratic national convention who didn't know whether
 they wanted to nominate Grover Cleveland
 for the third time or not, MT. Harrity
 launched at the psychological moment these stirring verses:
 Grover, Grover, Four years more of Groverl In we go, s. l Out they go, | T Then we'll be in clover. Nothing else which happened during the convention did more to put fighting
 spirit into the Cleveland delegates A
 great many of them had been officehold-
 CTS from 1885 to 1889, and practically all
 the others had aspirations to office. The
 first class took the lyric as an assurance that if Mr. Cleveland were to be ie- elected they would again be drafted for l service. The other class figured that there would be a new deal all along the line, and they were the better diagnosti- clans, for when Mr Cleveland came into power again he gave notice that the claims of former officeholders would be honored only in very exceptional cases. The delegates sang and whstled MT. Harrty's song with infinite gusto. It became symbol and an inspiration, for l it fired the imagination with roseate hopes of the future. MT. Clark's Ozark dog song has no such possibilities. It I symbolizes nothing in particular and is worthless as a vete getter. What the 1 speaker needs In this crisis is mana ger with as real a genius as Mr. liar | ritys for discovering and using cam campaign lyrics.

SOME ADVICE.

SUME ADVICE. If you dream of fame and honor. If your quest is but for pelf, Ere you start upon the journey, Get acquainted with yourself Try to learn your strength and weakness There's the thought that mends or breaks; Though you may not be successful, You'll escape some fool mistakes.

Singing songs through sun and rain, And abide where never care is, Never heartaehe, never pain. All the bells of 'Elfland ringing, All the sweetest blooms that blow, All the gentle prayers uplfted Unto heaven from earth below, All the gifts the world denied you Shall be yours but to receive, And dear Love will trip beside you In the land of Make Believe.

Berlin Prohibits Horse Cab.

While in most Of the large cities Of
civilized countries the taxicab reigns
practically supreme, Berlin is the first
metropolis to ass a law prohibiting
horse-drawn cabs from carrying fares
within its jurisdiction. Such an ordI-
vas put In force recently and
the few remaining Cables were given
notice of the death of their trade. Pro-
vision was made for the instructing Of
the cabmen as chauffeurs, and $3.50
was given Is compensation for their
loss of trade. This gives the taxicab
drivers d monopoly, but, as the city
Fl horities have stringent regulations
covering the tolls and other matters,
no trouble Is expected from that
source. Co-incident with this news
comes the information from London
that the cab situation is so bad there
that a society has been formed for
the relief Of INDECENT cab drivers who
are now unable to reap a living owing
to the inroads taxicabs have made on
their fares.

cAUGING DOWNFALL OF RAIN
Scientific Instruments Have maos ~

matloaf Precision. :

Few people really understand no"
rain IL measured. We often read ia
the newspaper that 80 many incnes
of rain have fallen during a certain
period, but 1t is difficult to realize
what an inch OF 1t actually means.
The British Rainfall association have
years records Of ~rainfalls In all parts
of the United Kingdom. They have
reports from several thousand sta
tons, which are sent in by people
who work" the business as a kind
of hobby. There are several wooden
structures now in use for measuring
rain. and these are known as
gauges" The most skillful is a con-
t~rivance with a funnel at the top,
through which the water passes Into
a cu~p-receiver. The weight OF the
rain automatically works a pencil.
This marks on'a sheet Of paper wound
round a cylinder, and when 1t has
marked In this fashion two-tenths Of
an inch, the cup tilts owe and empties
the contents. The pencil returns to
it's former position, and the same little
device is repeated necessarily until the
rain ceases to fall, while the pencil
continues to register on the paper
attached.

HIntp to Brides,

II a wife or prospective bride wishes
to have a happy married life. she may
est assured that her desires will be
grati1ed II she bears in mind the
following "don'ts:"
Don't marry q man for q living, but
for love. Don't overdress, or the re-
verse. Common sense is better than
style. Never, when married, get the
idea that the way to run a house Is
to run away from 1t, DIT that 1t Is right
to lecture your neighbors on how to
bring up their children, while you are
~neglecting your own.
Don't nag. Nothing is SO likely to

Fresh Clothes.

Not only must the skin be kept in
good working order by plenty OF
baths and massage, but the clothing,
which absorbs the moisture from the
pores, must be changed frequently tc
insure perfect health.
The stockings, particularly, which
are cased up inside a heavy shoe all
day, and so have no chance OF air
should be changed daily. If n only
has two pairs they may be washed
out at night and the other donned In
the morning, There would be fewer
foot troubles If this plan were gen
orally adopted.

Washing Eggs.

The ordinary way to break an egg
is to hit it against another egg or
over the edge Of the mixing bowl and
let the contents stream over the side
OF the shell without considering
whether the latter is clean or not.
Even If there Is no Visible dirt, the
shell may not be as clean as 1t seems,
for it may have come from a dirty
nest or have been untidily handled.
Eggs should therefore always be
washed before breaking.
