HE CITED An EXCEPTION.

A religious worker. while visiting a
Western town. gave Talk for Men, -
during the course of which he ex-
pressed his conviction that no young
man should visit any place TO which
he would not feel justified in taking
his own sister.
"Is there any young man present
who thinks one may safely disregard
this wise rule?" asked the speaker.
Whereupon a youth in the rear Of
the ball arose and shouted in a stem
torian tone:
"Yes, sir, I do!"
"And what. sir, demanded the an
cry and surprised speaker, lis the
place which yourself would think
of visiting to which you could not
take your sister?'
"The barber shopl" replied the

SOUTH AMERICAN EXPORTS.

Latest reports show that the oppor- tunity of developing the field for trade in the South American countries is be- ing taken advantage of, and indicates that it can be much better developed with the opening of the canal. In the fiscal year ending this month, exports to South America have shown phe- nomenal gain Last year the total reached 109 millions but this year it will go to 135 million. or a doubling in goods sent south since 1905. or in a decade the increase has been more than 250 per cent.
 Argentina is the country showing the largest gain in our exports to ths southern half of this hemisphere, ac- cording to the bureau of statistics and in taking 55 million dollars worth of goods from the United States it takes over one-third. Brazil is another country which has greatly increased it's trade with the United States, hav- ing jumped from eleven millions to thirty million in the past seven years, making the percentage of gain larger than in Argentina. Chilli and Uruguay are also large users of American goods. Lumber, leather, mineral oils and railway materials are the articles in which the increase is chiefly noted.
 With this steady increase in trade between the United States and South America there is very reason to be- lieve it will continue. The canal will give it a big impetus. especially with the western coast, while trade with the countries bordering on the CariD- bean will be further stimulated.

GRADUATION GIFTS.

No gift could be more appropriate than a fan for the graduation maid, and fans are so little now and so beau toful one can scarcely look at them without thinking of some beloved young girl.
 Next to pearls, and in way more popular, being cheaper and adapted to simpler dress, are the chains of so- called white coral, for the beads are most often faintly pink, although col orless coral is seen. Rather large beads are liked for these, the chain be- ing in a strand and throat size. Girls from 12 years up are permitted these, but if younger than this age the beads should be smaller. The girls who will carry watches ard don't want the con- fusion of two chains would find the long strings in the same beads very useful and ornamental
 A Quaker bag is the newest thing for the handbag, this being made after the manner of the old knitted purses, which showed a double pouch, held at the top with 8 ring. These are big enough to hold a handkerchief, little box of lozenges, and the tiny vanity case every girl over Is wants to nave about her on graduation day. Ex- ouisite conceits in Quaker bags are of SILKS MOIhtQ W1lll NUAA S1AAN'OAS and trimmed at the edges with the tiny garlands of flowers which appear on so many trappings nowadays. Such bags. which are carried by the middle strap, are also made of Irish crochet.
 Some radiant hatpins of a very new sort are as much like bouquets as it is possible to imagine. At the top of the usual long pin there Is a rosette of narrow white lace, this closely massed and tucked with little flowers and leaves. The rosette is about as big as a butter plate. and two would charm ingly trim a lingerie hat, with which species of headgear they will be much worn.
 Slipper rosettes made in the same manner are likewise seen, and the silk stockings which would be needed for their proper setting may be had req sonably.
 A vanity chatelaine of silver is a sweet gewgaw any girl would appre- ciate. The bunch of toys-smelling bottle, notebook, purse and powder are hung from chain with hook fitting over the belt.
 Quite a cheap present would be a writing set covered with tapestry in delicate tones.

INCIrING 10 RIOT.

The late reports are more encOurag- ing regarding the conditions at Perth Amboy. and look to an adjustment of the troubles without the necessity of calling out the state troops. It is another strike. backed by the l. W. w., and to which the labor unions are op- posed A spirit of anarchy character izes this trouble, as it has in other places where that organization has been the cause of the employees leav- ing work and then preventing others from taking their places. Bloodshed has resulted in nearly all cities where they incite the people to riot and defy authority.
 The class of help which is employed in the factories where the disturbers get the opportunity to exert their influence is responsible to a large de- gree for it's extensive operations. l. is easy to incite foreign labor to strike or riot and advantage of that is being taken in nearly all instances where labor troubles have existed this year. Upon the big corporations of course, must rest some of the responsibility for the employment of such help that cannot be handled under the laws and customs of the country They. with the organization that is urging them on, form a dangerous combination, and as in the case of Perth Amboy, with little or no idea being given as to their grievances.

OIL PIPE LINE MONOPOLY,

A decision of far-reaching import ance is that handed down by the in- terstate commerce commission in re- gard to the pipe lines which carry oil from the oil fields to the shipping points. provided it is not overturned by the courts. The commission holds that the pipe lines carrying oil from one state to another are common car riers and therefore they must carry all the oil that is offered for trans- portation at the same price that trust oil is transported The Standard oil company has held a monopoly in this respect and the Independents were unable lo compete Though they start ed separate line of their own it was blocked in NnN Jersey bN the railroad interests The enGeavor to overcome trouble hy having the trust pipe line owned by separate corporations m each state was thought 10 make the monopoly safe
 The recent decision, however sets this askew. for the commission fails to recognize any such scheme. holding that it does not change the interstate character of the traffic. This means that by the first of September as noted in the finding, rates must be fixed by the old pipe lines for the carrying of all business offered them, the rates to be uniform, and under those conditions the Independents will get their oil to the same points as the trust, which would mean breaking of the monopoly. It looks good for the independents and ought to benefit the consumer

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN

Oftentimes when your soul is tired within you, and life is drab, and the worm of ennui gnaws at your inwards, there is joy to be found in going down town and buying things.
 Shopping Is not merely the business of procuring what you need. If you think it is only that, you miss the poetry of it.
 Shopping is a game. It Is a sport. If women bought only what they needed the stores would soon close: if they even bought what they wanted, it would be fatal to the Bon Marche and Marshall Fields. They neither need nor want the plunder they purchase; they simply want the fun of purchas ing.
 I confess to a secret dabbling in this vice. 1 often walk through those mar vicious mazes of heaped up stuff, the department stores, and sneakingly tumble the neckties about, and the sta tionery, and the books, and even the lamp shades and hammers and coffee grinders in the basement And I should hate to tell you of the utterly useless rubbish that has from time to time obstipated my closets and upper shelves, things for which l paid good money, that might better have been spent for frecrackers (which can be fired off). or sent to the heather, who really need necklaces and red cloth.
 In my time I have risen and cursed shopping. I have reproached my wife with it. Now you know why. It is because I love it, and occasionally fall and do it. No one can curse a thing so well as one who once in a while does it.
 The only drawback 10 the game of shopping is that it takes money. Still, 1t Is not so expensive as poker.
 Even yesterday I bought two ties l did not need, And one of them was red. I shall not let the family see them for q while.

THRUsTING HIMSELF ON CON-
 VENTION,

The action of Theodore Roosevelt in going to Chicago is nothing more than what was expected. It was a physical impossibility for him to keep away from the convention, which has the choice of the selection of the re- publican party's candidate. Nothing prompted him to go more than the dubious outlook for his own success which had been communicated to him by his managers, but such an action Is enough to turn from him any dele gates who might be leaning in his di- rection. It is plain that he cannot secure the nomination without induc- ing delegates to break from their in- struction to the president, but by the eleventh-hour application of his die tatorial policy he is determined to win. The point is now that the people have got to take him according to his mo- ton of the situation.
 The trip is another instance of his personal charm and assault being re- sorted to- 10 carry out his wishes. He sent his sub bosses, Finn, Perkins, Hadley, Stubbs and Lyons. to Chicago, but they were unequal to the task. The great emergency, which he has been awaiting to take himself there. was the learning that he was beaten. That was sufficient 10 warrant chang ing his mind and keeping up his rec ord for instability When he said he would not lift a finger to get the pres idency he did not mean it. and when he said he would ask no man to vote for him, he did it for effect. Now he is at Chicago to wheedle the delegates and assault those who will not be whee- dled. He is crying for the nomination. His inconsistencies, personal ambition, fckleness. and utter disregard for anyone but himself are sufficient for his being turned down hard. Sucn actions indicate strongly enough that he does not intend to abide by the result If President Taft is nominated.

STATEWIDE FLY swArTINe.

The need of making war on the fly Is being felt in all directions while the additional task of removing the breeding places is bound to be carried out as the wisdom of the act is real ized. To make much of showing against the countless army of flies which silently but consistently get in their deadly work. 1t is necessary that the propagation be checked by the re- moval of filthy places before any great impression can be made upon the winged menace. They breed so much faster than they can be annihilated that swatting makes but little prog ress after the warm weather comes.
 The movement, however, has 8. large number of followers, and many mil lions will be crushed by the swatters, poisoned or trapped. There is a state wide crusade against the pest in Vir- ginia, and thousands of people are en- gagged in the effort to eXterminate the fly In the city of Richmond, where the contest for prizes ends today, many over three million. by actual count, have been killed. The Times Dispatch of that city, which is conducting the contest. says; The Richmond anti fly campaign has already had tre- mendous educational influence in the city and the state. Hundreds of col umns of warnings against the fay are being printed in the Virginia press; medical and health authorities are dis seminating thousands of pages of in formation as to the source of disease and pestilence, and miles of moving picture films quickly bring home to the men, women and children the men, ace of the "musca domestica."
 Virginia is setting an excellent ex- ample which other states should be quick to follow in state wide move ment.
