Dollar a Day Campaign.

Wilmington, Del, Sept. 20.-ThOm-
as W. Miller, secretary to Congress
man William II. Heald, Of Delaware,
issued a statement today which shows
that Mr.. Head, far from spending
$3.50 in his fight for denomination,
spent only $3.50, or approximately
81 day during his campaign.
Through the ignorance or careIessncsS
Of some one in the Office of the clerk
of the House Of Representatives IN
Washington it was made to appear
that Mr.. Head had spent more than
any other congressman.
"The error was due to careleSsnesS
on the part of some one in the Office
of the clerk of the House of Represen-
tatives in Washington in reading the
figures and paying no attention to the
decimal point Mr.. Miller said. i saw
the papers as they were filled and was

that owing to this official error anu
its dissemination by the newspapers
the public has been led to think that
Mr.. Head made unusual expenditures

LuxuRIEs AND NECESSITIES.

The average individual who looks

who has had an opportunity to OBJ
serve TO what q small class the con-
sumption of "luxuries" is restricted IN

to conclude that practically our entire
population Is interested, In one way or
another. in the annual importation or
luxurias. This is only another way
OF saving that the standard OF living
is. on the whole, vastly higher In this
country than anywhere in the whole
European world-that the average
American demands and receives coHl-
forts and conveniences which the aV7
erage European can seldom hope 10
gain. In brief, it calls attention 10
an indlsputable fact which the preach
'ers OF discomfort among US are only
too ready and anxious to neglect. VOL

YOUNG MAN BREATHED AGAIN
Tactful Candidate Surely Proved Him.
self Resourceful in an
Emergency.

In the midst OF his campaign for
congress Stephen G. Porter of Pitts
burg, went to big town hall, says the
Washington correspondent Of the.
Cleveland Plain Dealer. Before the
affair was over he was called on for
an impromptu exhibition Of quick-wit-
tedness that stamped him as a real
major league tactician.
A young man whom he knew only
slightly walked up to Porter and said:
tMr. Porter, let me introduce you to
my WIFE,"
But the moment the man had made
the proposition he seemed to think Of
something, began to look pale, and
became as III at ease as bigamist.
While Porter was shaking hands
with the wife, the man was standing
behind her making frantic signs that
Porter could not interpret. but
he knew he must be tactful and nom
committal.

the young woman.
"Yes," admitted Porter.
"And don't you find 1t exceedingly

"Up at night? Oh. ye.eh, yes! In
deed it Is. Should say so. You have
no idea how trying it Is" replied Por'
ter, with diplomacy, but wondering
where she got her up-all-night notion
The young husband was still making
queer signs, though he looked some
what relieved.
"And what does your wife think
about your being out all night three
or four times a week. the woman
pursued.
Madam" replied Porter, solemnly
"a woman who has the confidence IN
her husband that q woman should have

And the young man looked as II ne
earnestly desired to shout.
It seemed that the man had beer

north from Tulsa to take the Central

brought out that the line reaching

Perhaps just at present the most
important news of all to producers

to the refinery at Lockport, ILL.,. and
the fact that the Texas company was
shipping 1000 to 5000 barrels a day
