One Thing They Cannot Argue Away.
One Of the most conspicuous SEN
fences in the Democratic national
platform is this
The high Republican tariff is the
principal cause of the unequal, dis
tribution OF wealth"
Whatever honest disputes there
may be about other aspects Of the
tariff, whatever other elements may
enter into the high cost of living,
that sentence as it stands is true
The high tariff tends to crystalline
the population of the country into
classes. Any typical, tariff-protect-
ed manufacturing town consists of
one $100,000-house on top Of the
hill and hundred $1.09O-cottages
clustered around the mill in the val
ley. Golfers Weekly.

A PRAYER OF THE BEST ply
ST(,IIN

o, Thou Great Bestower OF health,
strength and comfort: grant Thy
blessing upon the professional duties
in which this day / may engage Give
me judgment to discern disease and
skill to treat 1t; and crown with Thy
favor the means that may be devised
fer recovery: for, with Thine assist
ance, the humblest instruments may
succeed, as without it, the ablest
must prove unavailing Save me
from all sordid motives, and endow
me with spirit of pity and lfberali-
ty towards the poor and OF tender
ness and sympathy towards all, that
I may enter into the various feel
ings by which they are respectively
tried; may weep with those that
weep and rejoice with those that re-
joice And sanctify Thou their souls
as we'll as heal their bodies. Let
faith and patience and every Chris
tian virtue they are called upon to
exercise, have their perfect work: SO
that in the gracious dealings OF Thy
Spirit and of Thy Providence, they
may find in the end that 1t has been
good for them to have been affiicted.
Grant This, 0 Heavenly Father, for
the love of that adorable Redeemer
who, while on earth, went about do
ing good, and now liveth to make
intercession for us in heaven. Amen

Death Made beautiful.

George w. Perkins, the corpora
ton expert, began life as an insur-
ahce agent. So good was he at the
game that one of his friends describ-
ed him in these words:
George could convince you that
the grave was the biggest financial
institution, the biggest dividend pay
er and the biggest gold mine in the
world. He could build up in your
mind the idea that each day you
spent on earth was time thrown
away. He could convince you that
the only real feat for you to perform
was to die, be buried, and leave your
wife and children to roll respondent
in wealth he and his company kept
waiting for them. Popular Maya

~Ive persons escaped death or SCI
rIous injury at Elkhart, Ind, The
other day when a bull. maddened by
the sight of a big red automobile,
charged the car, overturning it into

that the animals head became fas-

prevented the occupants Of the car
from being gored The passengers
in the car were G. e. Fry and four
