"UncIe Jake"

Uncle Jake" was one Of the char
acters Of Bunbury. He was as deaf as
a post-when he wanted to be-and
as contrary as bundle Of sticks.
One Of his neighbors came into his
yard one day and said, uncle Jake,
I'd like to borrow your wagon this
morning; mine is having spring
mended."
You'll have to speak louder" re-
joined Uncle Jake. 81 don't hear very
well, and 1 don't like to lend my
wagon, anyhow"
The old man was an expert maker
of axe helves-an occupation In which
there is more art than the uninstruct-
ed would suppose-and these handles
he. left at the village store to be sold
on commission. '"se..an~
One snowy day as Uncle Jake came
stamping up the steps Of the store,
another old fellow who was known as
Uncle Horace remarked to the men

say to him when he comes in"

his fingers up and down the smooth

Lords in the Making.

Allan Dawson, New York editor,
says he was in London when the
question of making 500 new lords was
agitating England, and that he hap
pened to be in the press gallery Of the
house Of commons when the subject
was under discussion.
'It was an exciting time,' said Daw-
son. "A list of names was under con-
sideratiOn> l listened until the house
had disposed Of three and had elect,
ed their titles. The first man decid-
ed upon was General Booth of the Sal
vation army. It was set forth that
his title was to be Lord Saveus. The
next was Mr.. Patterson, the big bag
gage and express man of London, and
his title was to be Lord Deliverus.
The third was Mr.. Pink, who owns the
largest jam factory in England They
fixed his title as Lord Preserveus.

PROBLEM THAT PUZZLED HIM
Bobby Didn't Understand How He
Could Get Candy for Three With
zone Money"

It was charming summer morning.
Bobby, aged five; Seth, aged four, and
Jennie. aged three, were escorting
their father, Doctor jackson, on his
daily visit to the village postofd ce.
He had promised them candy, and
they struggled along in great content.
Opposite the telephone Office the
procession was suddenly brought to a
stop by the operator, who appeared
in the door and beckoned the doctor
imperatively.
'Hey, doc! You're wanted over at
Clifton right away!" he cried. Il
tried to get you at the house, and
your wife said you were on your way
downtown. You've got to hurry!"
The doctor turned about hurriedly,
but the three pleading faces made
him hesitate. He thrust his hand into
his pocket, found no pennies. So
he selected nickel, and placed it
in Bobby's hand.
Nov, Bobby, papa must hurry.
You take this and get the candy. Get
some for Seth and Jennie, too, you
know. And be sure to go right back
home after you get it,
Bobby, who had not yet learned that
there were coins of larger value than
the penny, took the nickel with
out much enthusiasm, and the chill
dren proceeded to the candy shop.
Here Bobby took his seat upon an
upturned box and let his chin fall
upon his breast. A telltale sob be-
trayed his state of mind to the clerk.
why, Bob" exclaimed the sympa-
thetic clerk, 81 never knew you to
cry! What's the matter?"
Bobby showed the nickel that had
been shut tight in his warm little
fist
Papa told me to get candy for all
of u.s." he gulped, "and I can't! Seth
and can't have any. I've only got"-

Clay Had Campaign Banners.

Jerome Carter Hosmer, president of
the Dorchester (Mass.) Historical So
ciety, at the next regular meeting of
that society will present a banner
which was carried by the adherents
of Henry Clay through the New Eng
land states at the time Of Mr.. Clay's
candidacy for president of the United
States. 1t is thought to be the only
one in existence.
Twenty-seven states are represent
ed, the stars encircling the portrait of
Henry Clay Within the circle are
the words, National Currency and
Protection" In the four corners of
the banner are the words agriculture,
commerce, manufacture and encour-
agement. The flag is said to have
been carried by enthusiastic followers
of Clay in Worchester and Roxbury
in 1874.

EaqIe Not Always Brave.

Eagles are generally believed to be
very courageous That they are not
always as brave as is supposed is
proved by the following anecdote: A
naturalist tells of combat between
ten misselthrushes and white-tailed
eagle, In which the latter was thor
oughly vanquished, and was discov-
cred squatting down in shed, where
he had been driven in hope of refuge
from the angry birds.

Has it ever occurred to you that
the more money a man has the more
difficult it is for him to be charitable?
When one is poor and has only a few
cents 1t is an easy matter to divide

has none"

ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN.

While in Chicago last week William C. McAdoo
acting chairman of the Democratic national commit
tee, said:
Our fight will be made against Roosevelt west of the
Mississippi and against President Taft east Of the
Alleghenies
The backing and filling Of the Democratic party
organization thus find an explanation.
In the West the Democratic party is to be
strongly progressive, very much against bosses and
machine politics. against Big Business, in favor of
rule of the people, and supporting any other PROPOSE
ton that will divide the progressive vote with Roose-
welt.
In the East the Democratic party will face the
other way 1t will be entirely different party 1t
will cater to the reactonary element in effort to
divide that vote with Taft. 1t will not take up arms
against Tammany in New York State. 1t will put
itself in such position that in event the Republican
bosses feel that Roosevelt has chance they will no,
be afraid to vote for Wilson. 1t will guard its utter
that Wall Street place reliance in it anc
Big Business will not be alarmed over the prospects
of its being successful
That's what McAdoo meant.

The George report clears the way to end such

Take the automobile business in Washington.
There is charged, against this business, this list OF
taxes:
license that is exacted from the dealer in auto
mobiles.
A license exacted from the dealer in sasolene.
A tag license on the machine itself.
A license for the chauffeur.
personal property tax on the machine itself
A seat tax adjusted to the capacity of the ma.
chine.
A real estate tax on the garage space occupied
by the automobile.
That sort of taxation may be desirable, but we
doubt it, 1t is among the evils of our taxation sys
tenn that need reform
We find fault with the excessive cost Of living
in Washington Yet license charges of various kinds
charged which make it as difficult as possible for

the people of Washington, realize that all these
things are evils Of bad taxation SYSTEM which need
reform, and which can only get it when reform is
undertaken in broad, fundamental way?
No honest interest of Washington is going to be
served by blind opposition to the betering Of ad
mittedy bad conditions. Nothing could be so un
fortunate as to hammer everastngly, as the Star
does, at the one idea that Washington has good
thing" in the halfand-half plan, and that any change
however generally desirable, must be opposed, lest
it might menace that good thing

THE TROUBLE WITH PENROSE.

The trouble with Mr.. Penrose is that money has

of money Just think of the sad into which his
political temperament has sunk.-George w. Perkins.

was confessing to anything immoral or inconsistent
with decent government, admits that ne solicited
funds from corporations for the purpose of carrying

He goes even farther and asserts it was directly
understood part of the deal that the corporations
we're to be taken care of when it came to national
legislation.

that he wanted to make good as State chairman OF

Not so with Boise Penrose. He neither denies it

simply does not know any better
We doubt if Mr.. Perkins is right when he speaks
of Penroses political temperament as having sunk tc
such sad state. We rather believe PenroseS pot

He never degenerated because he never arose above

GOMPERS REVIEWS
LABOR ATTITUDE
Of THREE PARTIES
Labor Head Does Not Ad-
wise Union Men How to
Vote, However.

Samuel Gompers in an editorial in
this months Federationist, the official
journal of the American Federation of
Labor. makes quotation from the
speeches of acceptance OF President
Taft and Governor Wilson, and from the
platform of the PROGRESSIVE party. The
president of the Federation Of Labor
does not advise his followers to vote
for Roosevelt. Wilson or Taft. but says:
These declarations of the repesen-
tatives of the two old parties and the
principles avowed by the Progressive
party. the workers and thinking citi-
zens of our republic must study and
ponder. They must be considered in
their relation to previous declarations
and manifest policies of action"
Taft's View on Labor.
The excerpt which Mr.. Gompers
makes from President Tafts address OF
! acceptance is as follows:
Again, the Democratic party in Con-
gress and convention shows it's desire
to weaken the courts by forbidding
the use of the writ Of injunction to pro-
tect lawful business against the de-
structive effect of a secondary boycott,
| and by interposing a jury in contempt
proceedings brought to enforce its or
der and DEGREES. These provisions are
really class legislation designed 70 Sc
| cure immunity for lawlessness in labor
disputes on the part of the laborers,
| but operating much more widely to
| paralyZe the arm of the court In cases
| which do not involve labor disputes at
| all"
| From the Progressive platform the fol-
| ing quotation 10 made:
|
| functions in cases arising out of labor
| disputes should be prohibited when such
| injunctions would not apply when nc
| labor disputes were involved. We also
| believe that a person cited for contempt

| tempt was committed in the actual pres
| ence of the court or so near to as tC

From Governor Wilson's address ac'
ceptng the nomination this is quoted:

SAME STORY--SAME MOTIVE.

The New York Herald observes that on Novem-
Der 8, 1904, Alton B. Parker made the same allega-
ton regarding Roosevelt getting money from Stand
ard Oil that PenroSe is making today
So he did. And like Penrose when called upon
for proof he had to rely upon "hearsay," and also
like Penrose he made the allegation for the purpose
of dscrediting Roosevelt after he Roosevets oppo-
nent had been driven into a corner and was facing
political annhilation
The parallel is striking even though il may not
be very hattering either to Parker or Penrose.
