MEMS SUMNER CLOTHING.

4 society woman from another
city remarked the other day that il
IS too bad that men can't have more
comfortable clothes. She noted that
while women have their open work
and low necks, the man are swelter-
ing in wool coats and starched col
lars.
of course" sche continued. "a
gentleman does not expect to remove
his coat"
When Uncle used to drive TO
church of a summers day, ten to one
he had on a black alpaca coat that
flopped in the breeze. He might
have constituted bulgy and uneouth
figure But the coat was comforta-
BILE and appropriate.
The majority of business men feel
that it pays to cultivate finished
neatness and correct styles. Freshly
creased trousers and smoothly press
ed coat give them self-confidence.
Thus clad they approach the most
formidable captain of industry with
out fear. A suit of linen or alpaca
would be reduced to a shapelessness
which they fear would seem untidy
Whether or not it pays to carry
neatness and style to the point Of
discomfort is doubtful. But it i!
with regret that the writer heard the
dietum of the society friend quoted
above. that the gentleman might no
remove his coat.
II is one thing to appear in {
soiled shirt, with trousers supported
by dirty suspenders, apparently read,
to fall off, with unmentionable con
sequences. 1t is another to work il
a clean waist with trousers neatl
belted. If the women object. lie

Meanwhile these embarrassment
do not trouble the great army c
field and factory workers who's
trade does not compel them to pas
themselves off for something bette
than reality. Dressing to fit tt

Express Rates Cut in California.

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-The Cali
fornia railroad commission today or
dered reductions in express rates of
the Wells-Fargo company amounting
to cut of 10000 from the present
annual revenues.
Every rate of the company in Cali
fornia was abolished by order. eff
fective October l, and over three
million new rates devised by the
commission on the ten-mile zone
basis ordered effective then.
The commission requires the COM
pany TO operate for six months under
the commissions rate. then if the
company feels the rates are not justi-
fled it may submit a statement of its
earnings.
The commission has been investi-
eating the rates two and a half wears
and found that the company makes a
net yearly profit OF sS42 900 on the
property. estimated at the value of
s613,000. The ruling characterizes
the company as a parasite on the
railroads"

den without adding to it irritation
over Irifles and outbursts OF temper

Forget it.
BY continual thinking of the hot
weather, by keeping an eye on the
thermometer and adding to diseom-
fort by fussy disposition, one draws

If something has gone wrong with
the farm, or the store, or the shop.

the store stuffy, or the shop slow or
the office oppressive, why
Forget it.
Life is too short to treasure I'D the
trivial. He who does that only heats
his blood and actually poisons it. as
laboratory tests have shown.
Whatever your trouble, it is not as
big as you think it is-unless you
make it so by dwelling on it and
brooding over it.
Forget it.
Do not brood. Forget. Do not
harbor resentment. Dismiss it. Do
not get warm mentally. You cannot
afford that. Forget it.
Blessed is the man who is wise
enough to forget.

Wanted. a Girl.

Yes, wanted, a girl-a daughter
in thousand homes. bright, smiling.
helpful, always willing to hold the
baby, set the table or sweep the floor
and to do these things so happily and
cheerfully and we'll that the baby
will crow. the table will look like a
well balanced picture, and the care
ful, critical grandmother will find
no dust under the chairs or in the
corners of the room. Wanted, a low
ing daughter. the touch of whose ca
ressing fingers brings a happy light
to the weary eyes of father and
mother, the sound of whose cheery
voice and merry laughter is a JOY
to the whole household. Where is
there home in which such a daugh-
ter is not wanted? Does anyone
know such girl? There is a situa-
tion open for her. She is advertised
for, sought for; she can have any
place she wants; the world is hers
but why are there not more appli.
cants? All, she is already occupied
She has home of her own which
she cannot give up; she is enshrined
in the hearts of father and mother
her brothers have bound her about
with the cords of love, and will moi
let her go.

THE SAVING OF THE 1913 HAIR
VEST AND THE THICK GLOOM
AT CHICAGO.

The tears come naturally as We
sense the gloom that proceeds from
the Chicago board of trade-a gloom
as thick as the celebrated stockyards
stink.
The mournful fact is that the mar
ket is weak on the Chicago board of
trade. Its exhaustion is so pitiful
that all the fellows who spend most
of their daytime on change are
shaken with grief and despair.
It's all very sad.
And to find its cause you must
take down your weather charts. You
will find that all the trouble, boil
and bubble was caused by three lit
/ tie low barometer disturbances which
have crossed the United States since
Sunday, July 6. These pitiless storm
centers came out of the Pacific ocean
in the general vicinity of the state OF
Washington and passed clear across
the northern border till they disap-
peared in the Atlantic ocean.
The melancholy truth is that each
storm center caused good, heavy
soaking rains in every section of the
United States except that little strip
of California coast south of San
Francisco. These rains saved the
spring wheat of the northwestern
states and Canada. They saved the
corn and oats of the whole country
and helped every growing thing on
this continent from Miami. Fla. to
Alaska and from Newfoundland TO
El PaSo. If no more rains come this
summer. the great American harvest
OF 1913 will be all TO the flossie.
But when Gods fertile soil and
refreshing showers give huge guam
titles OF food to shatter our ninety
five million hungers, cheaply. it is
vain for anybody to try TO bull prices
TO the sky on Chicago's grain mar
ket- So they dolefully tell you that
the market IS weak and Iistless and
declining, and dead: and

The deadliest error that can mis-
lead young men is that in order to
know the world he must disregard
home restrictions and SOW wild oats.
The son who sows wild oats will reap
a harvest of shame. Nay, more, he
will compel his father and mother to
reap with him and be sharers of his
shame. Every son needs to be care
full of his character. 1t is the capital
with which he enters business or
begins professional career. If il
is shoddy or spotted the best men
will shun MIN as deadly poison.

The old saying that when poverty
comes to the door. love flies out of
the window, is like most generalities
only a half truth. Extreme pow
erty is inimical to the graces of life
and 10 life itself. but there is as
much love in the homes of poverty
as in the homes of wealth. 1t is
in the homes of those in moderate
circumstances, removed alike from
the misery of poverty and the ennui
and temptations of riches. that the
most genuine enduring affection is
found. We are prone to think that
wealth is a desirable quality in q
suitor. and so it it. but it should
not be placed in the same category
with manliness, intelligence and
character. a modest competence
with youth and energy TO increase il
as the years pass is wealth enough.
Life has a deeper interest for the
young wife who feels that her hus-
bands success depends as much upon
her economy and wise management
as upon his energy and business ca

home may be built and adorned, that
the children may be educated and
that old age may find them in peace
and comfort enjoying the leisure they
have earned.

with their black heads, gray wings,
white bellies and red legs, catching
small fishes and mollusks without
stopping and sometimes diving after

They breed along the coasts and

about the unsettled account. He rum
mayed In the bar and found an auger
Of the requisite size Mr. Twigg in

with It and accompanied by his host he
descended to the cellar where the mighty
