I Prayer to Mammon.


From an exchange we clip the ia
nous old Prayer to Mammon," tina
has been printed many times and the
author of which is unknown. In these
times when so many Of us are offer
ing up our devotions at that shrine
this ready made appeal may save you
anxious moments in composing one
lyoureslf:
o Mighty Dollar! our acknowledged
governor, preserver and benefactor
we desire to approach thee on this
and every other occasion with that
reverence which is due superior ex-
cellence, and that regard which
should be cherished toward exalted
greatness. Mighty Dollar, without
thee in the world we can do nothing,
but with thee we can do all things.
When sickness lays its paralyzing
hand upon us thou canst provide for
US necessities and the tenderest nurs-
es, the most skilful physicians, and
when the last struggle of mortality Is
over and we are being borne to a
resting place of the dead, thou canst
provide band of music and a mill
tary escort thither; and at last, but
least, erect magnificent monument
over our grave; with living epitaph
to perpetuate our memory; and while
here In the midst of our misfortunes
and temptations of life we perhaps
are accused of crimes and brought |
before magistrates thou, Mighty Dol |
lar, canst secure to us feed law
yer, bribed judge, a packed jury,
and we go scot free. Be with US,
therefore, even in thy decimal parts.
We feel there is no condition in
life where thy potent and all power
full charms are not felt. In thy alb
sence how gloomy is the household
and desolate the hearthstone; but
when thou, o Mighty Dollar! art
upon the gridiron, what an exuber-
ince of joy swells every bosom. Thou
lrt the joy of our youth and the
'olace of old age; thou canst adorn
he gentleman and feed the jackass;
hou art the favorite of the philoso-
'her and the ideal of the lunkhead.
When an election is to be carried, o
Mighty Dollar, thou art the most po-
ent argument of politicians and
lemagogues and the umpire that !!
ecides the contest. Mighty Dollar,
hou are worshipped the wide world
yer; thou hast no hypocrites in thy
emples and no false hearts at thy I
liars; kings and courtiers bow before
hee, and all nations adore thee;
hou art loved by civilized and saw
ge alike with unfeigned and unfal-
ering affection.
Mighty Dollarl be with us we be-
eech thee, attended by an inexpres-
Ible number of thy ministering an
els made in thine own image, even
lough they be but silver quarters,
hose gladdening light shall illumi-
ate the penury and want with heav-
My radiance which shall cause the
soul to break forth in ac-
amations of joy. Mighty Dollar,
lou art the guide of our footsteps
nd the goal of our being. Guided
Y thy silver light, we may hope to
Zach the golden gate, and triumph
ltly enter while hands harmonious
sweep the golden harps as we walk
lie golden street.

The Changing Age

Girls and boys from IA to 10 years
of age undergo physical changes
which tax their strength to the utmost
and the strain is always apparent from
pale cheeks, colorless lips, and tired
bodies-sometimes eruptions OF the skin
and the utter lack of the ambition and
animation with which their younger
years were filled.
Bidding into womanhood and man
hood with the duties of school or business,
demands concentrated nouris HIM e mt
which isreadily convertible into red blood
corpuscles, energy and strength, and the
very best thing for this changing age is
the medical nutriment in SCOTS Emul-
sion-it possesses the rare blood making
properties of cod liver oil in predi-
gested form; hypophosphites for the
nervous system, with the healing, sooth-
ing qualities of pure glycerine.
Its nourishing force promotes assimila-
ton, yields direct returns in abundant,
red blood, fills hollow cheeks, tones the
nerves, makes all good food do good,
and does it in a natural easy manner.

Emulsion is 50 helpful to this changing
age that it should never be neglected.

SENIORITY"
STAYS IN RULES
Fitness Also, Safeguarded BY Other
Clauses, in New Code of the
New Haven.

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 27.-New rules
for engineers on the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford railroad will be distrib
nted to the engineers to-day at meetings
of their brotherhood locals and the men
will have chance to study the text as
compared with the rules originally pro-
mulgated by General Manager Bardo.
The text of the rules is widely changed
from the original. Concessions were
made by both sides during the confer
enee between the officers of the brother
hoods and the officers OF the company.
One of the features of the new rules
is that engineers who are members of
the brotherhood will not be compelled
to take the official physical examination
provided for in the previous rules, the
brotherhood examination being accepted
as sufficient.
The seniority provision which the men
feared was doomed under the original
rules by General Manager Bardo, re-
mains with the word Fitness" to which
objection was made. This, however, is
by other clauses.
There are minor changes in several
rules, among them being that an en-
gineer shall not be responsible for work
on his engine after he has reported it in
the workbook at the roundhouse, rule

NEW HAVEN'S DELAY
IRRITATES COURT
If Reorganization Plan Is Not Received
Soon Drastic Action Will
Be Taken.

Washington, Oct. 27.-The department
of justice is growing impatient at the
failure of President Howard Elliott of
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad and the board of directors
to submit a plan for the reorganization
of the company on lines which were
talked over during the visit to Washing
tn of President Elliott and the commit
tee representing the stockholders of the
road about two weeks ago.
Attorney General McReynolds has
waited in vain for some word from the
officials OF the road, out up TO Saturday
he had not been informed of what they
intend TO do.
The bill, providing for the dissolution
of the railroad, which was prepared by
T. W. Gregory, special assistant to the
Attorney. General and Jesse G. Adkins,
Ossistant Attorney General, is ready to
be filed. 1t has been gone over by the
Attorney General and has received his
approval.
It is stated that unless something is
heard from the officials of the New

CAUSES SORENESS
President Away Until Tues
day-Mexican Situa-
ton Tense

Washington, Oct 27.-President Will
sons departure to Philadelphia this aft
ernoon, with large company of con-
gressmen, gave Washington an aban-
doned air. The currency committee Of
the Senate, however, plodded along with
its hearings, significant Saturday
because brought formally to a close.
The Mexican situation, as far as it per-
tains to Washington, is decidedly tense,
but if any decisive action is taken it
will be of course, by the president. Ac-
cording to his program, the president
will not be back in Washington to stay
until Tuesday night.
Republican senators were resentful
yesterday at statements attributed to
Secretary Tumulty and dealing with the
motives of the big bankers. There was
"a disposition to call upon the White
House for evidence that the big bankers
were in a conspiracy to defeat legisla
tion. Republicans claim the hearings
have shown nothing of the kind. Be all
that as it may, senators of the commit
tee plan to buckle down next week to
their task of amending the House Cur
rency bill. 1t is expected that the very
first subject discussed will be the gov
eminent controlled central bank, such as
Mrs Vanderlip suggests and President
Wilson announced would not be accept
able.

The Food Facto in Some Socialogic
Problems.

In connection with consideration of
the opportunities, or lack of opportun-
ity, for adequate nutrition it became APP
parent that there are in such commune
ties not few families which actually
suffer from lack of sufficient food. The
main items of expenditure among the
laboring classes are for food and rent.
These are, of course, absolutely essen
tial. 1t is interesting to note, there
fore, from the statistics that have lately
become available, how the percentage OF
income expended on rent and food in
creases as the income decreases. These
stubborn facts enable us to realize the
keenness of the struggle to make ends
meet in poorer homes, even with a regu-
lar income when it is very small When
over 90 per cent of the wages earned
is thus disbursed the opportunity to
obtain other necessities to mention
on-essentials-is so limited that fire.
quently recourse is had to a reduction
in the food BILL which is already as low
as is consistent with the maintenance OF
health. Here is condition which per
haps permits the inroad of disease
among the poor quite as readily as 9th
er unhygienic living conditions particular
ly those pertaining to house and environ
ment. When there is even a moderate
expenditure for alcohol the situation is
even worse. The Journal of the Amer
lean Medical Association thinks our So
biologists have not sufficiently appreciat.
ed in the past that the occurrence of
conditions in which the support OF the
family and the provision of even the bar,
est necessities prevent the attainment of
any variety and interest in life and al
most enforce a monotonous existence re-
acts in variety of ways on the health
and efficiency of the community through
the diet factors referred to. The at
tempts at amelioration and reform must
accordingly take into account possible
changes in the mode of feeding which
might set free a greater proportion OF
the income for other things than food.
Dietary habits need to be dealt with in
this field quite as much as ignorance
and the "stultifying influence of the sur
roundings."

Mrs. Eaton said she was 80 years old,
and was born in Alexandra, Va. She
attended school in Washington and at
Georgetown, Va, until she was 10. She

United States land office at $50 month.
She married Henry Ainsworth in Wash

Her life with Ainsworth was unhappy.
She said that her husband lost two po-
sitions and that she was forced to aid
in the support of the family, selling
books from house to house. During her
life with Ainsworth she and her two
children, June and Dorothy, lived sue
cessively at Washington, Guthrie, Okla,
st. Louis, Chicago and then returned to
Washington, where she bought house,
paying 81 200 down. Later she was
forced to sell the house.

Widow Declares He Was a
Drug Eater and a
Drunkard

Plymouth, Mass, Oct. 27.-An insist
ent denial that she ever gave her hus-
band poison of any sort brought to
dramatic close Saturday the direct ex-
animation of Mrs. Jennie May Eaton,
widow of Rear Admiral Joseph G. Eat
on, with whose murder she is charged.
Sitting in the witness box where she
had passed the entire day reviewing the
story of her life, Mrs. Eaton leaned for.
ward little in her earnestness, but her
face still bore trace of its habitual
easy smile as her counsel, William A.
Morse, put the concluding questions as
to her guilt.
"Do, you know anything about pois-
onf she was asked.
mo, sir, / do not" she replied.
"Did you ever see any poison?"
81 never saw any in my life! no, sir"
'Did you have any white arsenic in
your possession at any timer"

did you administer any white arsenic
to your husbandf"
'Why, that is the most absurd thing
/ ! ever heard of. No, sir, never IN my
life"
ibid you ever give your husband any
other poison?"
mo, never"
Attorney Morse then announced that
the direct examination was ended and
adjournment was taken until to-day,
when the state will cross-examine the
defendant.
Mrs. Eaton described her life with the
admiral as that of wife devoted to
his comfort and striving to lift from his
shoulders the burden of debt under
which he labored. She said she had sac
rificed her furs and her jewels to as
sist in supporting the family, and that
after they had purchased the farm at
Assinippi to begin stock raising, she had
done all sorts of mental work about the
place to keep the household expenses
within proper limits
She said the admiral had been very
Respondent at times, particularly after
indulgence in drugs and that it was also
when under the influence of those drugs
that he had firted with other women.
She denied that she was a jealous wife
in the ordinary meaning OF the word
but added that she was jealous at such
times of her husbands dignity as rear
admiral of the navy.
Regarding letters to Miss Grace p.
Howard of New Bedford and others COM
planning of her husbands alleged firta-
tions, Mrs. Eaton said she wrote these
only because she wanted to show in
court the state of the admirals mind
should it be found that the adopted
child which had died had been killed by
poison.
OF the admiral's last illness, Mrs Eat
on said he had at other times had per
feet paroxysms of vomiting" so that she
was not alarmed at the attack.
A doctor, she said, left some tablets,
but although she gave them TO the pa
tient she did not think any of them re-
manned in his stomach. In the middle
