PRESUMABLY HARD TO FIND
If Actions Go for Anything. Young
Man 10 stlil Looking for
That Envelope

This happened In q crowded subway
express train the other night.
An old man boarded the train at the
Fourteenth street station and chung TO
strap in front of a young woman
who was seated AS none Of the men
showed disposition TO let the old
man sit down, the young woman
arose and offered her seat to him.
Before he could sit down a younger
man slid into the vacant seat. The
young woman was confused, but only
for minute. She leaned down slight
" and said to the man in the seat:
you dropped an envelope on the
platform, sir
The man jumped up and elbowed
his way to the platform Half a min
ute's search failed to reveal the sup
posed envelope. The man returned to
where the young woman was standing
and said:
Say, lady, where Is that envelope
l cant find 1t out there?"
''That envelope" replied the young
woman, sis in the same place your
manners are"
The young man understood and fad
ed from view. The old man got the
seat, while the people in the vicinity
looked, listened and laughed.-New

German Cures.

In Germany one finds all kinds OF
cures. Every enterprising town has
one. Often the cure house is the fin
est public building in the city. A Ger
man talks of going to his cure as an
American Of going to his vacation.
There are milk cures and mud cures,
wind cures and water cures, mountain
cures and surf cures; but my choice
is the forest cure.
Not only does it best please my
personal taste but notice that 1t gets
the most serious cases-those where
radical and heroic cures are needed
First Of all there are the tuberculosis
patients strewn about on their cots
under the pungent shades Of the Black
Forest as about DR.. Trudeau's camp in
the Adirondacks.
Then there are the devotees of In
digestion and the nervous wrecks, biz
ious, alcoholic and society wrecks,
drug f1ends. bridge fends and every
body; that is everybody who can
spend the time and money to come
hither for the forest cure. Naturally
In Germany, as in America. folks who
have to work and support families
cannot afford to be cured. They can't
even afford the disease In the first
place.-Woman's Home Companion.

That Dinner Pail

Editor Of the Philadelphia Record:
What has come between the Repub-
lean orator and the workingmau'
tin dinner pail? Time was-and rot
so very long ago-when the rattle of
the dinner pail on the Republican
political rostrum made far more noise
than the brass band. There we're
parades with banners and transpar-
encies and the actual tin kettle swing
ing in the the breeze. There we're
pictures on the dead walls and pic
lures in. the live newspapers-and lots
of other things.
Why the silence? Will the orator
tell? Evidently he doesn't want to.
Ca0the workingman tell? Let him
los around and find his braius whore
he last used them and get busy, Let
MIN figure out what it cost him to fill
his dinner pail IL years ago, when
Mckinley was running for his sec ond
term and T. r. was his mate. Then
let him figure out what it costs him in
this month of September, 1912, to do
the same thing.
Does he want any help? Ia tn ose II
years we've had seven and half of
T. r. and three and half of Taft.
Does he put some coffee in the lid of
his dinner pail? 1t costs $50 per cent.
more than it did u years ago. Meat?
The cost has nearly doubled. Butter?
Add IS per cent, Eggs? Add one-third.
Fruit? At least IS per cent.
does he want more evidence OF the
effect of Republican rule upon his ex-
pense account? For the fiscal year en-
ding June 80, 1850, the entire cost OF
running the machinery of the national
G overnment was 81 per head of total
opulation. Fifty years later, 1910,
it was almost SIS per head.
Roosevelt gave us Taft: and TAFT
las was intended) gave us Roosevelt
in prospect They are as alike as two
peas in a pod. Their records on tariff
aad governmental extravagancs
prove it. Does the workingman want
70 again double the cost of filling his
dinner pail?

SHOT HERSELF
PERHAPS FATALLY
Mrs. Joe Jackson, of Pembroke,
Attempted Self DeStruc-
ton.

Information was received here
yesterday afternoon, little after l
O'Clock that Mrs. Joe Jackson, Of
Pembroke, had attempted to take
her own life by shooting herself just
at IL o'clock. 1t seems that she fired
only one shot, taking effect near the
heart. At last accounts she was
alive, but her death was momentari-
ly expected.
Mrs. Jackson is a sister of John
chiffon, now Warden Of the Eddy
vile penitentiary and Deputy Sher-
if Louis Chiffon, of this city. She
has husband and two small child
rem. Mr.. Jackson is now, and has
been for several years, Marshal Of
Pembroke. The cause of the rash
deed is attributed to the continued
i'll health Of Mrs. Jackson. During
almost her whole life she has been a
great sufferer from a chronic trou-
BILE, which she bore with the great
est fortitude, but it is believed that
her mind finally gave way and she
was determined to end her misery.
Mr.. Jackson has the deepest SYM
pathy of his many friends here and
a cloud overshadows the little city
which has been her home so long
and where she is so we'll known.
