DIGNITY IN LOW NUMBERS
tach Importance to Figures of Their Telephones.

Such small thing as telephone number has some significance in the standing of a firm" remarked New Yorker who had little else to do but talk and observe.
 How so?" asked the other.
 Take the tow numbers-'Broad l. for instance-and, as rule, it will be the number belonging to an old estab- lished firm, provided. of course, that firm has rem aimed in one location The firm now bearing the above number was in existence before telephones were in use at all, and in like manner 1t is possible to ascertain the old es- tablished business houses If firm moves, but remains in the same ex- change, it has the privilege of retain ing it's original telephone number Americans don't care much for age and long established anything, as a class, but there are many firms in this city that are proud of their telephone numbers in a system where the mum bers run high up in the thousands

Saints and Sinners.

Goodness itself can be so overgood that you can't distinguish 1t from badness.
 When saints make sandwich men of themselves, advertising their virtues to the public, ,extolling their own ten der. angelic qualities, you want to kill them
 If only some of the pains taken to make human beings good were ex- pended in trying to make them happy what different place this old world would be.
 If only teachers and preachers and parents and fanatics and reformers would realize that what people need is little sunshine sent into their lives before they talk about responsi. bilities and a future state.
 There are children and grown people so cobwebbed over with care and misery that all talk of how good" to them is useless. Their only hope their only salvation-lies in infusing little sympathy, consideration and happiness into their lives.
 Often it is a mother-weary, body and soul. Tired of plodding, tired of working on in a round of endless de tail-little, insignificant, provoking items that she gets no credit for do- ing, but fatal discredit for leaving undone.

TIE EMIGRATION BILL.

The Democrats have struck a popular note by framing a bill for restricting the emigration of foreigners. American people have always welcomed to these shores, honest and well meaning foreigners from all countries, but this invita- tion has been abused by the great steamship companies who are dumping criminals on us at a dan gerous rate from Southern Europe. and the Democrats who are pro- viding for test of their illiteracy before receiving them will be sup ported by true Americans every where. New York is now giving a horrible example of the awful con sequences that follow too rapid an influx of the lower grades of people from European counties.

SEES bIlj WAR CLOU.
Correspondent Says End of -iTrou bic in Europe Is Far Away.
Declares It Is Impossible for Anyone to Predict That 1912 Will End in Peace-Russia Attempted to
 End Present Conflict.

Berlin, Germany.-That Europe has passed through the two first months of spring without a catastrophe of any kind in the diplomatic field must not be taken 10 mean that the sky Is now cl3Gdless and the horizon clear. On the contrary, ominous rumbings are heard everywhere, and no one dares prophecy that 1912 will end in peace. During the last two weeks a core | Spondent of Washington paper writes, events have happened which have puzzled the diplomats of ali the great countries-events which seem to predict the imminency of material changes in the delicate balance of old Europe. Our poor old world, in spite of all it's enlightenment, still possesses it's political sphinx, situated within the confines of Russia
 What Russia's plans really are nc 9ne { s knows, least of all, probably, he ""rt'a and peace-loving ezer him elf. Russia gave the first impulse to ne new grouping of the powers when. lnder Alexander H., a strong and firile ruler of extraordinary gifts as ] statesman, she concluded the alli- nee with France, which became the inshaken corner stone of the Euro 7ean position. Now, at least, it seems IS If this corner stone is less firm than sefore. France and Russia are no longer in perfect harmony, and Russia 1iamed the French ambassador to St 'etersburg for the jarring note of the liscord which was dimly heard hy hose whose ears are always pressed against the ground.
 Russia wanted to put an end to the var between Italy and Turkey, but she wanted something herself from the government in Constantinople in ex- 1hange for her friendly services, and
 he hoped, naturally, to be backed up y France. In this hope she was dis appointed, and the closing of the Dar- daneles, which followed, caused the greatest irritation in St. Petersburg, because it brought home very forcibly to the Russian statesmen the immense disadvantage and danger of their em- aire not controlling the outlets from he Black sea. Nov, of course, the Dardanelles are once more open, but many statesman's head will lie un. easily until the Russian sphinx has spoken and made known it's plans def 1itely. Meanwhile it is admitted that the continuance of the 1talo-Turkish war is not free from danger.
 Italy cannot think of an advance in rripoi until the autumn, and may not be able to do so even then. Nor can Italy withdraw with honor. There is in impasse which European diplomacy will have to remove. But no states man has yet found a way, and all that NJ. Sazanoff's attempts have so far achieved is the diplomatic sensation in Paris.

Telling the Time in Turkey.

In Turkey the watch and clock are extremely rare and a big crowd of persons could be rounded up on the street without finding a watch among them. but the natives have an exceed ingly ingenious way of approximating the time and some of them hit it with considerable accuracy. They locate two cardinal points of the compass and then folding their hands together in such manner that the forefngers point upward and in opposite direc- tions, they observe the shadow cast In the morning or evening at certain known hours one finger or the other will point directly at the sun A comparison of the two shadows will determine the hours between. Anoth- CT system followed in that country and some others of the orient is to observe the eyes of a cat Early in the morning and evening the pupils are round At nine and three o'clock, it is oval and at noon it consists of narrow slit.

HUMAN BURRS IN THE WORLD
Unwise People Who Bore Their Friends With Their Display of
 Lack of Tact.

Do you ever encounter inQuisitive people who are really annoying-peo- pie who have not the least interest in your affairs, but simply want to know" out of idle curiosity? A great share of Americas reputation for rude ness may be laid entirely to the charge of their riling questions. Equally un- desirable is the person who confides her family troubles to all her friends. Instead of putting the stoutest kind of paddock on the closet door where the family skeleton turks, some women shamelesslv drag it out and parade in the public eye.
 The too-friendly individual who runs in at all hours without ringing and offers her services upon every occa- sion, and the woman who monopolizes or tries to monopolize all the time and attention of her friends is like wise to be avoided. "Dearie, if you are thinking of going shopping this week, let me know and I'll go with you. Stop for me if you go to the matinee on Wednesday"
 It never occurs to them that their company might not be appreciated. But just as the burrs of the field make us appreciate the flowers more than ever. so do the human burrs teach us to rejoice in the pleasant, considerate, sensible friends that fall to ones lot for the latter outnumber the former many, many times.-Exehange.

Miss Nellie Lerra. pretty young girl of Point township. in her sleep early this morning arose from her bed and walked to local cap factory. where she was an employe.

 Realizing her perdicament. the girl grew excited and ran back home at top speed She fell senseless from nervous exhaustion to the floor of her home.-Northumbe Correspon- dent Pittsburg Post.

Tiff PROTECTIVE HUMBUG

It has been proven that there is practically no industry in this coun- try that really needs the benefit of | protective tariff as those who are clamoring for the benefits for pro lection are selling their goods in the foreign countries where, of course, they have to compete with the foreign manufacturer, and if they can pay the freight across the ocean, and meet the foreigner and undersell him on his own ground, he certainly needs no protection in competing with the foreigner at home. The Democrats are going 10 end the humbugory of protection and 1t is regretted that the neces- sity fol. revenue with which to run the government will not permit a lower reduction in the tariff than is contemplated.

HEARING ON HE NEW TARIFF BILL.

Hon. Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, has an- nounced that tariff hearings will start on Jan. 6, and all parties who have an interest in tariff legislation will be invited to express their views before the Ways and Means Com nittee. The country at large is commenting MT. Underwood for his promptness in taking up this matter and it is believed that he will have complete bill ready to present to Congress by the time that Mir. Woodrow Wilson is in- augurated president. The House will then debate the bill for a short while and then pass it and then send it to the Senate where it is expected that it will pass much more promptly than tariff bills have heretofore.
