AS A WOMAN THINKETH.

Talk about the power of mind
over matter, did you ever hear OF
thinking yourself small?
That's what Charlotte Walker
does in ''The Trail Of the Lonesome
Pine" Miss Walker is not a short
woman, nor thin.
She is quite five feet eight inches
tall and built in proportion. Yet,
as June Tolliver, she gives the i'm.
preston of smallness. Her explana-
ton is:
81 think myself tiny. I know
June is young and slight and 1.-the,
and SO I put myself into the mental
attitude of being young and slight
and 1.-THE, and if / succeed in max.

REMARK ALL TOO SADLY TRUE
Seldom indeed Has the Poet in Any
Age Been Noted for Remark
able Aff!uence.

Monsieur de Tarde, who was one
of the greatest of modern sociolo-
gists, sometimes exercised the func-
tions of a judge at Sarlac. One day
the gendarmes brought before him
a sadly tattered tramp.
'What is your profession" in
quired M. Tarde.
81 am poet" said the vagabond.
One of the gendarmes interrupt
ed: 'sThat's not Christian trade" "
The judge himself sometimes
teased the muse. Laughing, he
asked the beggar to recite some of
his verses. The tramp drew from
his pocket a ragged notebook. On
the yellow leaves the judge read
some ballads and some sonnets,
which sang of love of country.
Handing back to the poet his note
book, he added thereto a hundred
sou piece, saying: "You may go!"
"But,' expostulated the gen.
darme, che has no domicile."
sMy friend" said M. de Tarde,
sententiously, che has the usual
domicile of poets; the open road is
his dining room and the sky is his
roof."-Le Cri de Paris.

pITH PRODUCTS IN DEMAND
Article of Commercial Importance 10
Now Being Exported From
Fcrmosa.

A Japanese merchant of Taipeh
has forwarded to the United States,
through Commercial Agent Lovett
A. Wood, some stalks of pith, to-
gether with samples of paper, card,
braid and other articles made there
from by the savages of Formosa.
The pith is from a shrub growing
less than two feet tall, and is as
light as a feather. 1t is gathered
by the savages and in a most mar
velous manner the lengths of about
ten inches are pared round with a
knife, producing sheets that are
smooth and uniform in thickness.
England is now importing quanti-
ties of this pith paper to make arti-
fetal flowers for ladies' hats. The
oily nature of the pith when it is
shaved into paper facilitates the eel
oring of the flowers.
The pith is also used for the tops
of the helmets so much worn by
men in the tropics during the hot
months, when the suns rays are
dangerous, particularly to tourists,
and for the additional reason that
the pith hat can be made for very
much less than the cork helmet.

The falling off in liquor tax
receipts during the past year
has been about 81, 900, 1000. With
nine states going dry the COM

expected; but these happen to
be states that pay only a small
part of the total federal taxes
about $1,000, 900 out of $685.
600, 900. The states that provide
the most alcoholic support to the
government are the great liquor
manufacturing states: Illinois,
which pays $50, 600, 600 a year
in federal taxes; Kentucky,
which pays $32, 600, 900 a year;
New York, which pays $25, 600, :
600 a year; and Pennsylvania
and Indiana, which follow close

Will Celebiate 5Oth Ami
versary Of Emancipation

In August there is to be held
in Chicago an observance of the
fiftieth anniversary of the eman-
cipation of the African race in
America from the bondage of
slavery. While the emancipa-
ton proclamation of President
Lincoln was issued in 1862, to
take effect upon the first of jan
uary, 1863, it was not really
effective all over the land until
the Civil war came to a close in
1866. and there were some
states which were excepted, but
were included in 1865 by con-
gressional enactment. For that
reason the half century anni-
versary will be observed in this
year, 1915.
Representation in the great
celebration planned is to be by
states. The chief executives of
various states have been re-
quested to name as delegates
representative colored citizens of
their respective states.

Signs continue to multiply that bust
ness and industrial activity in the

of course, is the principal cause, in
that it provides a cash market, al
highest prices. for everything, except
luxuries, that the United States has to
sell.
Aside from this steady and growing
demand for foodstuffs, clothing. all
forms of leather, steel. copper, horses
and mules, the most hopeful feature
of the situation is the placing of heavy
equipment orders by the railroads
Since the Eastern rate increase vas
granted, orders for rolling stock. rails
and other supplies a~ggregating &c.

Throughout the great West where
farmers have derived huge returns
from bountiful crops and high prices.
there is unprecedented cheerfulness,
