IDEAS OF APLAIN MAI

Lying abed the other night I heard Voices through the Wall. Some per- sons in the next room were talking. I caught only the sound, and could not get any least word they said. As l lay and listened to the dulled mur- mur, the ow-booming sound, out of which the plaster and wall paper of the partition had strained all mean ing, it seemed to me that of such is the kingdom of heaven.
 How little we know of what is real ly going on in hearts around us! They speak to us, smile at us, weep before us, yet the vital, living, vivid tragedy or comedy that is theirs, somehow only bits of it Sift over to us. Once 1 passed woman weeping as she walk ed the street. Again, going by a res- taurant heard loud shrieks of laugh ter within. Returning home one Sun day l heard congregation in a strange church singing. I have been startled by quick, successive revolver shots in the night, under my window. In all these, Destiny was sweeping by, l had but known the echoes of what to others were blazing actualities.
 wonder, too, if these messages we get from nature, messages the poets feel so y-Wordsworth, for in stance, who speaks of the soft blue sky melting into the heart-I wonder if 1t is not the voice of spirits akin to ours, perhaps angels, perhaps the blessed dead, perhaps God, heard through the wall? Did Browning mean this?
 What call God,
 And fools call Nature"

CLEANING UP ouAyAouIl

As one of the worst ports to be found in the entire woEd, medical ex- perts have been free tovgive Guayaquil the prize. It has been of the greatest danger to the safety of human life,- veritable pest hole with which the state department has made repeated efforts to get it to improve. Now comes Ecuador in an appeal to this country to supervise the sanitation of that port in preparation for the open ing of the Panama canal and an ef- fort for better conditions and busi- ness.
 This country has, for long under the provisions of the Monroe doctrine, been the guardian over the republics of the western hemisphere. We have done effective work, though resentment may have at times been shown. The republics themselves, however, have come to know the policy and tempera- ruent of the United States. Of this the New York Commercial well says
 "On It's purely beneficent side, as a power of salvation and betterment in solving the problems of peace, the United States has established a strik- ing record. What it has done, has cast splendor on our record more vivid than any war achievement. It transformed Cuba from hotbed of pestilential dis ease into healthful region quite as free from the terror of deadly epidemic as any part of our own country. What it has done at Panama in the way of sanitation, made necessary, it is true by our own advantage, has been a freely acknowledged claim on the ad- miration of the world"
 The extension of it's service prom ises to be further cause for congrat- ulations. Certainly Ecuador's port needs the attention which our sani. tary experts can give it.

T have had great trouble since persuaded Sister Chryssie to spend some weeks at a summer resort to make her comprehend what a summer resort is for" complained the elder Miss Simpson.
 "Chryssie says that it is perfectly idiotic for d couple of middle aged spinsters to go tearing around trying to pretend they are Is. But that she thinks anything livelier than sitting on the hotel veranda crocheting the height of frivolity. So she was deep Iy disgusted when l told her the crowd of young people who were going on an all day canoe trip up the river wanted me to go along as chaperon.
 .Melanie Simpson, she parked. You in cancel She said it with just the same expression she would have used in commenting on my being in a circus trapeze, doing tricks. : At your agel'
 Well I told her. I don't see why a person of 3S is not just as able to bend her joints and sit on the floor of canoe as an individual of 1S Any how, I'm going to try it. Other people ride in canoes and live through it, Be- sides, there will be six college boys along who can swim a mile apiece and if I tumble overheard one of them doubtless will stop making love to a pretty girl long enough to fish me out'
 "The morning we left Chryssie had her breakfast sent up to the room. She said she was ashamed to be seen in public and pointed out as a relative of an aged person who was trying to be kittenish. Sometimes l think If Chryssie would only let go and do something perfectly silly she would be much better woman.
 One reason I was glad to be in- cluded on the canoe trip was that l wanted to know whether Felix White and Dorothy Nelson really were in love with each other or not. When two persons take such elaborate pains to act as though they were not at al in- terested in each other it is a pretty sure sign that they are next door to being engaged. But it did seem to me that they were overriding it. Dorothy is sweet without being insipid and she can take time to talk to an older per son without acting as though she were wasting the last minutes of her young lifei Felix is young lawyer and he has a lower jaw that is going to carry him far. I went in his canoe.
 "Tll sit in the middle and somebody else can sit in the end. Who-oh-oh Dorothyl' called casually. We need 1 you here!'

PING THE MINORITY TO WIN

There has been no more enthusias- tic supporter of the thlrd-termer throughout his campaigns than Thom- as w. Lawson, who has conducted an extensive campaign of advertising in his behalf Though an ardent sup porter of the ex-president, he recog- nizes the inability of his party to win; in fact, he sees that the adherence to the support of that party simply en- courages the democrats and adds to their chances of winning. Not only does he think this, but he knows 1t, and he publishes it. He testified be- fore the investigation committee that he put thousands of dollars into the campaign. This is what he says now, relative to the situation in Massa ehusetts, and it applies elsewhere:'
 Roosevelt cannot be elected this time. If the progressives of the state vote solidly for their most excellent candidate, it will surely mean the cleo ton of Floss, but if every republican progressive votes for Walker. Foss will be buried and yet progressiyism will not be hurt, for all will know that the victory of Walker and Taft in Massachusetts was because of the pro gressive yote.'
 Such q condition which gives the rule of the country to the minority is not in accordance with the prin- ciples of the American government. It is the majority which seeks and needs the maintenance of republican principles which the third-termer is breaking up, simply to throw the gov- ernment into the hands of tariff tink- erers who are it's enemies. It is the ignoring of sound government, for that which has been found to be un- stable aided by the promises of a leader whose record is against what he promises and many of whose rec concentrations for federal legislation are entirely matters which concern the state.

THE BULLETINS SHORT STORY.
SHE WENT CANOEING

Dorothy gave us a fieeting glance and turned pink. She seemed irresO lute. I-er-oh, they've just asked me to go in Bruce's canoe she murmured.
 Felix was bending o Ter fixing the cushions and said nothi 1g. When he strengthened up he did not look her way. We'll get along all right by our selves, Miss Simpson, he said calmly, quite as though he had the queen of the May with him instead of the chap eron.
 T wanted to pat his broad shoulders for taking it so decently quite as much as l yearned to box his ears for not urging Dorothy to come. That was all she had hesitated for.
 We had lovely trip up the river. Near noon we sighted our landing place, d sandy beach backed by thick woods. Bruce's canoe with Dorothy in it was just ahead of us and it must have struck a sunken log, for the bow suddenly reared up. Doothy shrieked and I not only shrieked but jumped up with the wild idea of saving her-ev- cry one else shouted warnings and than both canoes were upside down with the neatness and despatch which characterize those diaboical boats.
 Tt was lucky that my Sister Chrys- SlG was SdIe III luo ScCluSlUuN OA ACl own room and did not witness the con tradicting of my airy prediction of the morning Did Felix tenderly fish me out He did not!
 From where I sat on the bottom or the river with the water gurgling about my neck and dripping off my best switch into my eyes and mouth 1 had the pleasure of seeing him valiantly attempting to swim to Dorothy in the two feet of water into which we had spilled Then when he parked his knees he looked foolish and walked over to her and grabbed her out of her terrible danger If Dorothy had lain l flat on her face she might have drown ed. but otherwise it would have been l difficult. But that did not in the least | interfere with the beautiful fact that he had rescued her. You could posi- | lively see wedding cake and white sat 1 in and orange blossoms in their eyes 1 as they looked at each other. i Tt made me forgive Felix even when ] at last he perceived me and, with the horror of remembrance sweeping lover his face, splashed toward me.
 "'Are-are you hurt?' he stammer- l ed.
 "'Not a bit I said. But the sand wiches are. I am sitting on them!

 failed to have pneumonia to vindicare her judgment. I certainly do feel sor- " for her at times!"-Chicago News.

 Cora Dow is a wonderfully orderly wom- an, but she is not woman of system and there is nothing masculine about her She dresses neatly, but never conspicu- ously, She is in the forties, and she looks like a middle aged college woman. The private office from which she does most of her work is simplicity itself. It con tains a handsome rug, mahogany desk and a grand piano. Sometimes she will go to the piano for an hour, But she Is at her desk every morning at II o'clock Before this she has made round of all her stores and has had a chat with tho manager Of each At o'clock she is at her wholesale establishment.

 She is boss of everything. She does all the buying directs all the selling She employs she discharges She wantsl nos body in her service to work more than eight hours a day. Every person is en- titled to two weeks vacation each year with pay. She gives SIS much attention to the selection Of an errand boy as she does to the choosing of a manager. She says she does not want any boy to come into her service who has not ambition to become manager. Not that she expects all of them to be managers, but she wants enough bright boys in training to keep her supplied With material.
 Miss Dow has few notions that som, persons might call queer. One Of then is in regard to horses. Every envelope every lefterhead every private and pablil bit of stationery of hers has this printes upon it:
