.FLINN OF PENNSYLVANIA.

There may be much in the political past Of vii.
liam Finn, the Progressive leader Of Pennsylvania,
which is ndefensibe but evidently he is not
ashamed Of the part he has played in financing the
Progressive campaign or afraid to tell why. What
he has done is not against the law. He gave freely
and boldly. He says he did not care what the bill
was and was perfectly willing to pay it, Asked wha,
was his interest in the campaign, this his reply

Here's a Book

Eliza NJ. Mosher. M. D.. professor OF
physiology and resident physician at
Vassar College, has written very
valuable and interesting book for young
girls, dealing with the scheme OF the
human body and the relation OF struc-
ture and function 20 health and hap
piness. The name of this message to
girls" is Health and Happiness" and
1t is published by Funk & Wagnalls

has presented the story In a series OF
letters which tell what they have to
tell in simple, clear fashion. with
much reverence and tact, but no squehm-
ishness. ~ne message is strikingly

Importance of acquiring right habits

sanest and simplest methods OF doing
so.
Simple home remedies are suggested

TAKING A CHANCE.

Once more an engineer Of an express train, be-
hind time, takes chance at q crossover switch while
running at rate Of fifty to sixty miles an hour and
aharrowing wreck occurs in which many persons are
crushed or burned to DEATH 1t has been but fifteen
months since similar accident, due to precisely the
same cause, occurred near the same place.
The rules ordered that speed at this crossover
switch be sackened to not more than fifteen miles
an hour. There IS no doubt that the rule was vio-
lated in this instance. But it would be interesting
to know whether the rule has not been constantly
violated; whether the engineer who took a chance
yesterday had not taken so many chances without
disaster or rebuke that he had come to regard the
rule as dead letter. whether the responsible oper-
ating officials did not know the rule disobeyed
day in and day out and whether anybody has ever
been disciplined for the disobedience. ..
In other words, the public is concerned to know
whether the railroad company has bothered It.

NOT. TO BE UNDERESTIMATED.

The report that the Bulgarians have crossed the
Turkish frontier the clash between the Servians and
Turks, the call upon the Greeks in this country to
return to their colorsal combine to indicate that
that long-dreaded Balkan confagration has been
started.
Against them, in the hope of peace, can be set
only the fact that winter is coming on, that the
passes will soon be mpractcable, and that the ira
ditional season for war-makng in the Balkans is the

count for much.

II should be noted that the California supreme
court decides unanimously that it would be en-
tirely illegal for the Taft electors names to appear
on the ballot as Republicans Taft, accordingly,
will have no electors from California in the next

II is fitting that the first decisive stroke Of re-

Greek inheritance.

about a hundred canons of beautv from
the days Of the old Egyptians until our
days and these are very far from being
identical.

OF Polycletes, the length of the head
