Fundamentals.

If your outlook on life is wholesome and you have nothing worth while to think upon it is permissible to let your mind drift to the subject of funda- mentals. Fundamentals are all right as long as you don't take them sert- ously. But if you begin to believe what you say about basic principles and elementary laws you are likely to become an uplifter or 8 Black Hand artist. The trouble is that when you get to breeding over such massive mat ters and the eternal consequences that attend them you invariably come to the conclusion that humanity is dallytng in the primrose path, and then, nine times out of ten, you decide to reform something.
 The golden rule of reforming is: Do unto yourself as you would like to do unto others. But nobody pays any at tention to it. It is just as popular in theory and as unpopular in practice as other fundamental laws of conduct are. Uplift, like charity, should begin close up.-Jndge.

Rabv carriaoes.

The first thing every newly married couple ought to invest in is a baby caP- riage. They come in one, two and three passenger sizes and should be re- placed every two or three years.
 As a substitute for motorcar the baby carriage has no equal, although it contains the possibility for more acc1- dents. Baby carriages, as a rule, are propelled either by proud fathers wear ing silk hats or by total strangers. Each baby carriage is provided with brake, which prevents it during its life time from exceeding the speed limit. This early example of rectitude, how ever, does not always have its effect upon the occupant in after life.-Life.

Arctic Rock Weed.

Drifting down from Alaska comes the greatest of all sea plants, the arctic rock weed, that grows in shape like huge ships hawser and sometimes with. branches 500 feet long. There are no signs of leaves, but at intervals of a fathom or so a knob, for all the world like the buoy on a drift net, grows around the stem, aiding, as does the buoy, in keeping the plant afoat and creating the impression that some fish ing nets have gone astray.-New York World.

A pouhtfuI comnliment.

The popularity of Tolstoy often brought him into comical situations which he himself would tell about aft erward. One incident, noted in P. A. Serseyenko's "How ToIstoY Lives and Works will bear repetition.
 One day in Moscow he was walking along a narrow sidewalk when an in toxicated man crawled, staggering along, to meet him. When the stranger caught sight of Leo Nikolaevitch he came to anchor, as it were, and with twisting tongue inquired: = 'tCount Tolstoy-y-yes? ?"
 'sYes"
 "I~am your adorer and imita tor, ' said the fellow, with feeling, and re spectfully made way for his exemplar.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1897-Peter Maher and Tom Shar- key fought seven-round draw in New York. This bout brought together the two greatest Irish-born heavy weights of the last generation. Shar- key was native of Dundalk, in County Louth, on the east coast of the Emerald Isle, while Maher hailed from Galway, on the west coast. The HibernianS were out in force to see their eountryrnen perform, and each man had a mob of admirers cheer ing him on. Maher had the advant- age in height, reach and experience, being several years older than Shar key, while the latter was the heavier. In the seven rounds that were fought honors were, pretty evenly divided. The two fighting Irishmen did not meet in the ring again. until 1902, when they fought a three-roupd mo- decision bout in Philadelphia. Of the two, Sharkey was the better fighter but Maher the better boxer. Peter had a diviI of wal1op, but his own jaw was very fragile, and he took the count in a majority of his important battles, although usually not until after he had given his opponent a close call Sharkey was a rough, brutal fighter, and able to assimilate enough punishment to kill an ordi- nary man.

To Make It Cool.

A newlywed named Jones was talk ing to his friend Casey the other day about his flat and was asking the oth- CT for a little advice.
 |rDo you know my dining room is the hottest place in the world?'' began the newlywed. ''Do you know of any way I might cool it off?''
 From experience should say that a very good way to bring abouta change in atmospheric conditions" remarked the older married man, 'tand one that is sure to bring results one way or the other is to take friend home to dfn- ner when your wife isn't feeling we'll and isn't expecting company."-Phila- deIphia Times.

WHEN FTTZ FOUGHT JEFF

Those who gathered at the r1ngside in Coney Island seventeen years ago today, June g.. 1899, to see Bob Fitz- simmons whip the daylights out of big Jim Jeffries will never forget the ex- periences It is true that they didn't witness what they confidently expect ed-a dazzling victory for Bob. The big California novice. who was look ed upon by the "wise ones'' as a mark for the freckled fellow, emerged from the conflict the heavyweight cham pion of the world.
 The fans who gathered at the Coney Island Sporting club paid in a total of about $52, ,OO0 at the gate. Fftz looked upon the match as merely a stunt for picking up little -'elin," of which he stood in need, and although he trained fairly well he was not at his best when he entered the ring Bob's friends had warned him that he was facing a real fighter in the boil errnaker, but Fitz's answer was the historic phrase, "The bigger they are the harder they fal1.''
 The freck1edfellow maintained his superb confidence up to a short time before the fight began He had never seen Jeff, and he went to the 1atter's dressing room ostensibIy to discuss the rules. but really to give his op- ponent the once-over. He found Jeff lying on a cot, stripped to the buff. Bobgre eted him joyfu1ly, but Jeff only growled. Asked about the rules, Jeff preserved his disdainfu1 indiffer- ence. mumbling, Fight any way yuh wanta- I don't care"
 Bob was a bit peeved at Jeff's at- titude, and he playful1y put his arm around the neck of the recumbent giant. Half rising, Jeff gave Bob a push that sent the astonfshed cham pion whirling across the room
 That push won the fight for Jeff. The exhibition of his opponents gi- gantic frame and tremendous strength set Bob to thinking, and his thoughts were not altogether pleasant ones. When he entered the ring Bob had a respect for. his antagonist that was previously lacking. Bob wasn't afraid he wasn't the sort to be scared but the fear of possible defeat, up

Deqs and Pleas.

If your dogs are troubled with heas very simple way to get rid of the pests is to provide beds of fresh cedar shavtngs or, better, cedar excelsior in the kennels or wherever the dogs sleep. The scent is not at all unpleasant to the dogs, but is abhorrent to the feas. When a dogs coat gets thoroughly scented not only do the feas leave him while asleep, but they will not jump upon him when he is out during the day.

ro cIean Paint Rruahes.

No matter how hard a paint brush has become, it can be made as soft and clean as new, says R. A. Galhher in Farm and Home, by simply boiling in water into which has been put a little 1ye. A little washing powder or soap will do, but it will take longer.
 The brush should be placed on end, and the boiling water should be no deeper than the length of the bristles, as the boiling suds will fnjure the han dle. Turpentine will clean paint brushes, but not after they have be- come real hard.

line Dwarf Palm of AIqeria.

The dwarf palm, which furnishes considera ble quantities of fiber, grows in great profusion in Algeria and is one of the principal obstacles to the clear ing of the land, so thickly does it grow and so difficult is it to pull up. It's roots, in shape resembling carrots, pen citrate into the ground to the depth of a yard or mores and when it's stem only is cut it sprouts out again almost i'm med1ately. As it's name indicates, this palm is very small and can only attain a certain height when protected, as in the Arab cemeteries, for example.

Old Friends.

Those that have loved longest love best A sudden blaze of kindness may by single blast of coldness be extin- guished. But that fondness which length of time has connected with many circumstances and occasions, though it may for awhile be suppress ed by disgust or resentment, with or without a cause, is hourly revived by accidental recoilections To those who have lived long together everything heard and everything seen recalls some pleasure communicated or some benefit conferred some petty quarrel or some slight ~endearment. Esteem of great powers or amiable qualities newly discovered may embroider a day or week, but q friendship of twenty years is interwoven with the texture of life. A friend may be often found and lost, but an old friend never can be found, and nature has provided that he cannot easily be lost.-Samue1 John son.

KEEP TT IN MIND.

Never mind if you cannot at once obtain the thing you long for. No matter how far away or impossible it may seem, keep your mind fixed on it. There is magnetic power in focusing the mind on the thing we long for. Ways we never dreamed of be- fore will open up in marvellous manner.

Four Great Musicians.


 sPalestrina was a revolutionist in his day, but is now virtually obsolete even for the severest classicists. G1uck was as radical an innovator as Wagner, yet it is only occasionally and with difficulty that one of his works can now be briefly resuscitated. Beetho- ven was a madman even to many of the best musicians as late as 1SOo, when, as that musical veteran, Pro lessor Haupt, himself said, the 'Fifth Symphony was rehearsed in Berlin for the first time and the orchestra dashed the music from the racks, de- claring 1t was crazy and could never be played. Now this same Fifth Sym phony' is considered model of form, and its composer is the cherished idol of conservatives and cIassicists.

The Only Difference.

A Massachusetts congressman went to England a few years ago and spent some time studying the British parlta- ment at close range.
 Immediately on his return he was asked if he couldn't make an analytical comparison of the house of commons and the house of representa- tives. He wrinkled his face up learnedly and spoke as follows:
 ''The two houses are a good deal alike. The members there swagger in just as nonchalantly as they do here and have much the same knack at pay ing no attention to what is going on About the only great fundamental diff. ference between the two lower houses that could discover after a great deal of thought and study was that in the house of commons they have more cus- pidors."-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

After listening to the statements and
arguments made by the representa-
tives of the Equal Suffrage associa-
ton, which visited this city on May 10
and II, we have come to the conclusion
that the attack made on Senator
Borah was uncalled for and we hope
that his constituents win not take
sides until we have time to present the
other side of the controversy. From
our correspondence | find that the
trouble comes between the twJ national
suffrage associations working to event
ually accomplish the same purpose but
on different lines, we having lined up
with the organization headed by Mrs
Carrie Chapman Gait.

that our citizens will not permit the
national organizations to divide our
forces, we remain,
