Whether the Senate Finance Com

The majority party relies upon forty
nine OF its fifty-one members in the
upper house to oppose hearings. Its
leaders declare that the best service
to the business world Is to get through
with the tariff uncertainty at once.

Recruiting Scheme.

The winning of recruits TO the United
Statesl army by means ofmoving picture
exhibitions showing the soldiers life is
proposed by Major r. c. Croxton United
States infantry. Major Croxlon has set
forth his proposals III an article in the In
iantry Journal.
Major Croxton maintains that by means
of moving picture demonstrations the
United States army will get each year
more men, better men and at much hss
cost than is possible under fhe present
methods of recruiting for service. He
believes that travelling moving picture
shows would prove more efficient means
of obtaining recruits in the smaller cities
of the country than the sixty-nine branch

SKELETON IN THE CLOSET

With the observation of years we are
almost tempted to believe there are few
in any home thai are truly happy. There
is no truer adage than that there is a
skeleton in every closet" no tenent Of
sacred writ so sure Of veriication as that
which declares in the world We shall
have tribulaton." Sooner or later our
share will come knowledge will not
save us; many bright, cultured intellect
has carried the heaviest weight of woe.
Education and good scholarship increases
our wants and calls for refinements and
luxures that money cannot always be
honestly obtained to procure. "He that
lncreaseth knowledge lnCreaseth sorrow, "
says the preacher Neither can riches
lift us above the ills that beset life. Gllded
misery Is perhaps the hardest to bear.
The rich envies the poor man who is
obliged to earn his bread by the sweat
of his brow and considers him
"Rich from the very want of wealth.
In Heavens best treasures, peace and
health"
High positions are thorny paths and
those who scramble to attain them do not
find the bed of down they expected, and
humble livers in content than carry a
weight of responsibility that makes man
target for the envious. He who has
great influence and authority looks upon
the man in humber walks as a favored
creature; he has only his own affairs to
attend to, he can find rest But the little
man doesn't feel that way; he has his own
standpoint to view from, and he clearly
sees himself dependent upon the patron
age of others. He doesn't feel like a
man-and he longs for the freedom he
cannot have while in another's employ,
and liable at all times to be dismissed.

his employer has iavorite o. relative he
wishes to oblige. There are two sides 10
evervthing-all situations are somewhat
like what has been said of the married
state, those who are in wish to get out,
and those who are out wish to get in. !"
The woes we make for ourselves are
legion; envy, jealousy, suspicion, unkind-
ness, disobedience, selfishness, pervers-
ity. falsehood. and long line of those
cheerful attributes that distort the human
race. and bring down sorrow and suffer
