 Borrow Twice as Much as You Need.
 A local fnancier is responsible for this story, which may at the same time serve as hint. He tells us that a friend of his came to him a few days ago and told him about an ac- quaintanee who wanted to borrow $100.
 aWhy doesn't he borrow $2oo, then7" asked the fnancier.
 Because he doesn't need $200-"
 ''I know. But listen: Let him Dor TOW $20O and pay hundred of it back on time or a little before time. Then his creditor will think he's going to get the rest of it. That's a fine little sys- tenn, and your friend ought to know it. .

THEY DWELL PEACE

Many Americans have often Won
dered that nations that have no real
eumity for each other could be plung
ed into war by their rulers. AS in
dividuals the peoples OF Europe wish
each other well, and yet when states
men declare that policy or national
honor demands that they plunge into
war. the same individuals spring to
arms like puppets.
The inconsistency Of this was strik-
lngly set forth by Cardinal Gibbons in
an address delivered at a reception
given him in Pittsburgh a few days
ago. His words should be widely pub
lished in those European countries in
which already vast armies are being
Increased and already large navies are
being enlarged.

said the cardinal, the Worship of God
Is conducted in Is languages every

trict there are hundred churches

guage. they are united in heart

mony! While the nations OF Europe

languages. are dwelling together here
In peace and harmony and love? Well

Steamboat Inspection Rules Amended

Washington, D. C., May 2.-Secre-
tary of Commerce William c. Redfeld
has approved certain changes in the
rules and regulations governing the
steamboat inspection service made by
an executive committee of the board
of supervising inspectors which met at
the direction of the secretary in New
York City, April is.
Probably the most important change
is one relating to the credit 10 be given
fo- experience on motor boats to ap-
plicants for licenses as masters of
coastwise steamers. The regulation
formerly read as follows:
Practical service on the deck de-
partment of an ocean-going or coast
wise steam yacht shall be accepted,
when offered in documentary evidence
by any person applying for an original
license or raise of grade on ocean-go-
Ing or coastwise steam vessels. as be-
inS equal to the same amount of ser.
vice in any going or coastwise
steam passenger vessel"
AS amended. the words vessel pro-
PEELED by machinery" have been sub
stituted for the words steam yacht, /"
thereby permitting many men who
have had training and experience on

yachts and who were formerly pre-

friends who welcomed him that his
empty eye socket shocked them. He
put on his patch, but the first shooting
match he had while wearing it proved
TO him that he couldn't tell as well as
before just where his enemy was. So
he took it off and imagined that his
sight was improved by discarding it
But the defect was so noticeable and
the shock to others so distressing to
Tom that he was at loss what to do
In the matter.
why don't you put in glass eye"
asked a friend.
do they make glass eyesT asked
Tom.
"You bet! They say you can't tell
'em from renl ones"
So Tom wrote to friend in st. Louis
to send him a glass eye. But it did not
occur TO him that it should match his
other eye. so he said nothing about
the color he wanted. The friend could
not remember the hue Of Toms re
naming eye; he rather thought Ii to
be brown, though it might be black.
He looked through a case Of artificial
eyes in an opticians shop and, not be-
ing sure whether Toms eye was brown
or black. Tipped up a half dollar to de-
eide which it should be- Black won,
and he told the opdcian behind the
case to pick out the best black eye he
had and do it up to send by mail. The
optician had one with an expression in
it so diabolicaI that he had no hopes
Of it matching any other eye and had
long despaired of getting rid Of it SO
he put it in a box and 1t was dispatch
ed to Hawkins.
Tom was obliged to go to Denver to
get the eye put in. When he returned
the effect on his friends was worse
than it was with the empty socket ex-
posed. His natural eye was gray. and
the contrast between that and the
black one was quite enough to attract
unfavora BILE attention, but the EXPIRES
sion Of the artificial eye besides would
scare Satan himself out Of his wits
Tom endured the starts and exclama-
lions Of those who looked at him for
awhile. then concluded to conceal the
difference between the two eyes by
covering the natural one. He put the
patch over it with a view to looking
out from under it. but some one told
him that Il be would prick hole in
it even with a point no larger than a
pin he could get glimpse Of the ouv
side world. Tom stuck the prong OF
steel fork through it and found that
he could see very well. This was the
best he could do unless he went to a
city where artificial eyes were sold
and bought one to match his. natural
one. He couldn't 20 very well at once
so he deferred the matter and from a
gray eyed man became temporarily a
black eyed man. However, he changed
about occasionally.
One day man came riding into a
hamlet where Tom was. with his horse
covered with foam, and announced
that Mart Kennedy had been wayiaid

CAPITAL COMMENT

TO take advantage of this cheap food
Mutton now is rather despised by the
average American city dweller, who,
with characteristic American prodigal
ity, prefers his mutton as lamb, thus
eating the future. In England. mutton
is preferred to lamb. Mutton natural
y is cheaper than lamb, and the ex-
perts in the department of agriculture
pronounce it one Of the most highly
nutritious of all meats.
With increased importations of cheap
mutton, and a growing consumption
Of this meat, the demand for other
meat products will fall OFF The result
will certainly be a reduction in meat
prices all along the line, due to the
decreased demand for beef and pre-
pared pork products. This is an Illus
tration of how reduced tariff rates in
directly bring down all costs of COM
modities. Had the Underwood tariff
makers put mutton alone on the free
list, leaving intact the prohibitive %
per cent on beef, the price of beef
would have tumbled nevertheless, be
cause of decreased demand.
Uncle Sans latest contribution to
culinary literature is largely brief in
behalf of the lowly mutton. Mutton
gives the consumer more of its energy
than beef. Laboratory experiments
show that mutton is easily and com
! pletely digested by the average stom-
ach, having a higher degree of digesti-
biIity than any other meat except beef
The cook book points out to the
thrifty housekeeper that it is more
economical to use mutton than beef
/ for the reason that an average family
can use up a quarter or a side of NUT
ton before it spoils, whereas the pur,
chase of shoulder or side of beef is
out of the question. By buying meat
in this way a considerable saving is
effected.

There were two other changes of

to travel with a Iifeboat capacity of
only 100 cubic feet, when navigating

that inside of two months after they
took Office they showed as much abil-
ity and initiative as Secretary Daniels
has.
For many years the government has
forbidden ha;ing at the Annapolis
Naval academy and at the Military
academy at West Point, yet this brutal
practice has never been wiped out in
either Of these institutions. Now Sec
rotary Daniels proposes 10 see that
there is no more of it at Annapolis.
A court has dismissed Midshipman
James c. Cook from the Naval acad-
envy for hazing, and in approving the
sentence Secretary Daniels took oc-
casion to send a letter to every mid
shipman at Annapolis, emphatically
stating that hereafter no leniency will
be shown hazers, and that in addi-
ton to dismissal they will receive the
penalty of Imprisonment. as provided
by law.
81 take this opportunity of saying
that this senseiess and dangerous
practice" says Secretary Daniels,
will not be tolerated at an education
al institution founded and supported
by the government Future manifes-
tations of such character at the
Naval academy will meet with rigor-
Gus action"
The midshipmen at Annapolis will
find that Mr.. Daniels means exactly
what he says. His predecessors have
been too lenient with this class of Of
tenders. Political influence has had
much to do with saving hazers at An
napolis and West Point from the pun
ishment they richly deserved. Repub-
lican secretaries Of the navy have
feared to offend relatives of hazers
who could deliver votes or contribute
| literally to the campaign barrel.
There will be no more of this for
the next four years at least. The
midshipmen or cadets who persist in
hazing in the face of universal public
condemnation of the practice should
never be allowed to enter the service
AS Secretary Daniels forcibly says:
Your hazer is essentially bully, and
must necessarily have a streak of in
hate cruelty. The United States navy

Teachers of Agriculture Better Paid

ers, but that teachers who are able
to give such instruction in addition to
regular work command better salar-
les than they otherwise would and are
more likely to be advanced to prinCi-
palships than if they did not have
the agriculture.
- Better pay for teachers of agricul-
ture is only one of many indications
of the remarkable growth in import
ance of this school subject in the
past four or five years. Agriculture
had been taught here and there in
the schools for many years, but made
little impression on the curriculum be-
fore 1906. In the year 1906-07 there
were about a hundred secondary
schools in the United States that gave
some sort of agricultural instruction;
in 1910 about 1900 schools reported
to the bureau of education that agri-
culture was taught as a separate study
in the high school department; and
the 1912 figures as far as compiled in
dictate a very large increase over previ-
Gus totals.
Elementary instruction in agricul-
ture is now required in II states, as
follows: Alabama, Arkansas, Califor-
mia, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maine

North Carolina, North Dakota (ruraD,
