Nothing that has happened in years in
the industrial world has caused the sen
satIon that has been made by the an
nouucement of Henry Ford, the automo-
bile man, raising the wages of the $4,000
employees of the company to a minimum
of five dollars day, and dividing large
fraction of the net profits of the COM
psny with the workmen. 1t is signit-
cant OF the standard that is accepted In
business to-day, that almost everyone is
trying TO find the selfish motive which
underles Mr.. Ford's action. One eI'
plains that he did it to forestall pros
pectiye competition; another, that IL was
to avoid payment of so mnch income
taxi! and no doubt soma think that the
right explanation is incipient psresis.
Very few are willing to accept the sim
plest reason that can be given.

Snow In the valley and snow on the mountain,
And sparkes Of frost on the roof and the spire,
The cold mooubeams fall on the ice.prisoned
fountain,
The sun cannot free with his faint touch of fre.
But the song Of the south wind shall waken the
clover,
The ringdove will COO to his mate in the bower;
The frost. fashioned flake, when the winter 10
over,
A dewdrop shall shine in the heart Of flower.

A Newspaper paragraph refers to an
equity suit in Maine county which has
been in the court since 1899, as "histori-

After reading the newspaper stories
about some parts of Somerset County, II
is reasonably safe to conclude that the
hunters who 60 out there have to be
careful that the black foxes don't run up
behind them and bite their heels.

Speak up, nowi How much is the
national debt? Those Of US who have
passed fifty can remember when two OF
the most important matters of news in
the daily papers were the doings of con-
gress the day before, and the amount OF
reduction of the national debt. Now
very few people have even an approx
mate knowledge of the amount OF the
debt. According to a recent comparative
statement in Leslie's Weekly, il Is
81 OPS, 900, 900, and is the smallest debt
OF any of the great nations. When we
consider that the Panama canal has cost
to date nearly third of that, II doesn't
look like so much after all.

they have not lost entirely the element
Of mysticism.
Il Is announced that the tailors, who

back, have now decided that he shall re-
semble the living skeleton OF the museum

some of the men who wear the clothes
will have something to say about how
they shall be made.
The United States Geological Sur
vey officially announces that the exact
elevation of Mount Rainier Is IA, 40S feet.
That settles IL for George Otis Smith,
director of the Survey. Even though
Rainier Is the official name Of the noun
tain, IL he should ever visit Tacoma,
Wash, he needn't expect anybody to
speak TO him.
The usual simple explanation OF the
result of an election is that the winner
got more votes than his opponent, but in
Boston they are now saying that Curley
was elected mayor because there didn't
enough vote against him.
