OUR MODERN TEMPLES OF WORK


While in other days popes and
princes built churches and palaces
which are still the wonder of the world
today commerce and industry are do
ing work equally impressive. Our
modern mills and docks and canals
and bridges are even more wonderful.
They are our triumphs of art, and yet
hardly any one records their building.
We are so familiar with these master
pieces before our eyes that we pay
no attention to them. We make few
IL any records of our greatest monu-
ments, our greatest triumphs In engin'
eering and architecture which are far
more amazing than the work of the
past, and quite as well worth record
ing.
The mills and docks and canals
and bridges of the present are more
mighty, more pictorial, and more prac-
teal than any similar works of the
past; they are the true temples of the
present. Our mills are as well worth
painting as medieval churches; Mime
apolis is as fine as Abb.
But it is in the Northwest that the
results of necessity and rivalry are
most evident. At Sault Ste. Marie the
government has built series of locks
which are as fine and pictorial as the
locks at Panama, and when in the eve.

THE WINK

All the laws of physiology and psy-
chology manifest themselves in the
fraction of a moment il takes TO wink
the eye. A fortune has been saved by
one man catching the furtive wink of
another at a critical moment, and a
girl has lost or made homo for life
with it.
The wink Is all things to all men.
1t may be honest or dishonest; lead
ing or misleading; comic or tragic;
ardent or insolent, and II can take
the place of suggestive smile or
frown in a fraction of the time. The
wink is often used as a danger signal.
II puts a stop to needless parrulity. In
the eloquent eye it may denote kind
ness. Exaltation egotism, vanity, pride
and delight are all expressed in that
curious closing or swapping of the
lids.
OF such Importance is the wink that
1t might almost be regarded as a part
of a persons armor with which to
fight life's battles. When one remem-
bers the value that is attributed to il
in psychological moments il might be
claimed that training the lids for this
purpose is eXcusable. One may fail
to understand or catch a wink and SER
ious damage ensue. At times it is
more potent than volley of words,
and only a few have failed to avail
themselves of its potency.
The wink is used by lovers; by con
federates in crime; the gambler cul-
tivates it; the business man depends
upon it,; the Wall Street man couldn't
do without it; the old man particular.
ly enjoys it, it is prettiest and most
deadly in the mischievous eye of the
girl of sixteen.
The only emotion that denies the
wink a place is grief. Mischief always
invites it to take part and the man
who has never winked must be surly

ABSENT Sc YEARS,
HE COMES BACK
OLD MAN 90 GOES HOME TO FIND
ALL KIN DEAD EXCEPT HIS
AGED SISTER
WAS THOUGHT DEAD YEARS AGO
sworn Out Now" He Says-Has
Travelled All over the Country
Nothing for 1t.

Pittsfield, Mass.-After wandering
for SO years all over the country
George Churchill has returned to this
Sty. In this interval of years all of
Ms relatives have died except an
aged sister, Mrs. George Murdoch.
Churchill after leaving Pittsfield,
never communicated with his rela-
tives. They believed him dead. In 1881
Mrs. Murdoch read in the newspapers
of the death of George Churchill in
Ohio. His body had been buried and
the family here believed that the miss
ing George Churchill of Pittsfield was
the person who had died.
This week a gray haired bearded
stranger revealed himself to the old
family physician of the Churchills as
the long absent George Churchill.
From the physician he learned his sis
ter was still living and was 81 years
DID, but in feeble health.
The physician prepared the sister
for a meeting with the brother she
had so long believed to be dead.
Churchill now aged 50, and his elder
sister, so worn with age that she is
\ being cared for, were brought togeth-
Ter again. Mrs. Murdoch was greatly
shocked by the temperance of her
brother.
Churchill's story is one of wander.
lust. He was a woodworker when he
went away and he followed his trade
for years. New processes of labor
saving machinery forced him to aban'
don his trade. He turned his hand to
cooking and for a long time worked
in hotels and restaurants.
"All the years. he said, 81 have
been wanting to come back to see the
folks. / couldn't get started Now I'm
old and worn out and there seemed 10
be no other place for me to 60"
Churchills health is broken and he
can no longer work. He will be pro
vided for by friends of the Churchill
family.

ELECTRIFIES HIS HOME;
OPERATES MANY DEVICES
Telephone, Clock, Sewing Machine
and Kitchen Utensils Operated
in Manner He Desires.

Gardiner, Me.-The house at Sc Wa
ter street, overlooking the Kennebec
River, a structure that is known his
torically as the original Indian block
house. might almost be said to be
electrified.
Edgar f. Ramsdell lives there. He
likes electricity and if full of the sub
ject. He likes to experiment along
both practical and theoretical lines.
He believes electricity has a mission
and he makes the subtle fluid work
its passage in his own abode.
AS one approaches the front door IL
opens automatically. 1t is operated
from the inside by push buttons. This
plan was inaugurated chiefly to save
steps when members of the household
are coming in at frequent intervals
during the day.
One of the first objects seen on en-.
tering the front room is a calendar
clock that gives the day of the week
and month as well as the correct time,
and winds itself every eight minutes.
The dates all change instantaneousIy
when the stroke comes that marks. the
midnight hour. The clock strikes the
hour and the half hour on three gongs
located in different parts of the house.
On a large switchboard there are also
shown a number of fire alarm boxes,
all of them ready to operate at any
moment. Mr.. Ramsdell takes great
delight in showing the mechanism Of
these fire alarm boxes and the con-
trast between the old and new pat
ents.
The sewing machine in the sitting
room is run by electricity, all the
cooking can be done by electricity
close to the dining room table, where
all the latest devices are installed,
and the clothes are washed by cleo
tricity. There are electric flatirons,
devices for securing all grades of light,
especially constructed electric reflec-
tors for the sewing table and anoth-
er very powerful white light for look
ing down the threats of his children,
If sick with colds or other maladies.
There is also full line of electric
heating pads for keeping everybody
warm at night and for use in cases of
sickness. About everything in the din
ing room is run by electricity except
the tbAmometers and Mr.. Ramsdell
says nv knows of no way to hitch that
up.

Save the ChiIdren,s Teeth

Too much stress cannot be laid on
attention to the first teeth. Parents
are too often ignorant of how much
the health of their children depends on
the treatment given the deciduous
teeth and say, when the second set
comes in we will see that the children
have regular periodic examination and
attention" Very often the first teeth
are pulled instead of being filled,
though just as much vigilance should
be expended on them as though they
were permanent teeth.
Do parents realize that it is neces-
sary for the first teeth to be saved as
long as possible, until the contour of
the face and lines of the features be-
come fixed? The health and regular
ity of the permanent teeth depend
largely on the heed given to the baby
set. The beauty of your child, the
health of your grown son or daughter
may be made or marred by your know
ledge or ignorance on this important
point. Childhood is the Impressions
BILE age, and if children are taught
the importance of properly caring for
their teeth it will bacome habit that
will last through life and save suffer
ing and expense.-Leslie's.

is $20,0 900 and out of this the town will seek reimbursement for it's ex- penditures but it is almost beyond be- lief that the woman who had secured the benefits of this large estate for so many years and who possessed so many millions in her own name would have permitted one who was known to be an heir of her benefactor to languish in an almshouse and be a burden upon others, yet that appears to be just what happened.
 It is of course possible that this sit- uation was not known to Mrs. Green but while she was engaged in mak- ing big loans and helping out others financially. to say nothing of the large amount of charitable work which she did about which no one ever knew anything except the recipients, it is strange indeed that she did not take interest enough in the ultimate heirs of her original fortune to ascertain whether they were in comfortable cir cumstances or dependent upon others for living. The very situation that has been revealed is one which il would seem she ought to have care- fully guarded against, but there are those who have g. regard solely for self and such may be the case in this instance. Such selfshness usually comes to the surface.

MAKES THE DEMOCRATS soUiRM

When Senator Taggart of Indiana made his attack upon democratic ex- travagance he knew what he was do- ing. He appreciated fully the fact that there was good and sufficient cause for criticism and that it was more creditabIe to say just what he thought about such a condition than to participate in the drain upon the national treasury and know all the time that way down deep in his heart it was against his principles. He un- questionably knew that he would be called to account for his attitude which struck a blow at the party. and what he expected has happened, but he has the satisfaction of knowing that he was justified in saying all he did about the pork barrel" methods.
 He attacked the policy of erecting costly government buildings in towns which have a population of from 1000 to 1900 for which appropriations varying from S25,000 to S40,00 are favored and showed in the case of Falmouth, Ky, where it is proposed to build at the cost of $30,0O0 for a population of 1,271 that it would mean a yearly expense against the govern mont of S3 for every resident of the town, and that is by no means an isolated case.
 He made popular appeal when he asked Instead of squandering money in catching cattle ticks, killing coy otes. poisoning ground squirrels, doc toring wild ducks, treating goats suf- fering from Malta fever. sending out useless garden and vegetable seeds, passing pork barrel river and harbor bills and pork barrel public building bills, would it not be better to get down to bed rock economy and cut these useless expenditures and save the people from the never teasing vis- its of the tax gatherer?" There is only one answer to such a question.

BREAKING TREATIES.

In connection with Germany's declaration of war against Rumania, the official announcement from Berlin declares that it "disgracefully broke treaties concluded with Austria Hun gary and Germany"
 Such of course must be looked up- on as a cause for war and Germany was expected to do just what it did 1nasmuch as there was a move made against it's chief ally and the country for which itself entered the war, but it is interesting nevertheless that Germany should place so much stress upon broken treaties in view of it's own famous statement that the prom ise which it made to protect the neu- trality of Belgium was only a "scrap of paper"
 Thus it appears that Germany is now putting up a howl over actions which are only in accord with it's own and for which 1t can be said to have set the example. It is no worse for 3 nation to break a treaty with Ger many or one of it's allies than it is for Germany itself to commit such wrong, and especially after Ger many had disclosed it's policy in this respect. This holler Is much the same as that which Germany put up when allied aeroplanes in their at lacks upon German cities took the ives of civilians even though nothing of the kind was attempted until after such action had been taken by the German air forces and submarines. When 1t comes to treaty breaking with Germany, everything goes to how that it makes difference whose K is being gored

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

stanisIau, like Brody, is one of the gateways through which the Russian armies in Galicia expect to march rapidly toward Lemberg. This rail road center is described in the Nation al Geographic Society's war geography bulletin today as follows:
 Railways radiate from Stanislau in five directions, making it one of the most important strategic cities of southeastern Galicia. This fact has made it an important trading center and manufacturing town, one of the most important industries before the war being the construction Of rolling stock for the railroads.
 ''The great trunk line passing through Stanislau is that which runs from Berlin to Bucharest. Before the war it was possible to leave Berlin at 7.30 one evening and, passing through Breslau, Cracow, Przemysl, Lemberg, Stanislau and Czernowitz, reach the Roumanian capital the following eve- ming at 1G.45. On this line Stanislau is 87 miles southeast of Lemberg and 7S miles northwest of Czernowitz. Kolomea lies between Stanislau and CzernOwitz 35 miles from the former.
 ''An extremely important line to the Russians is the road from the Russo Galician frontier town of Husiatyn, due east of Stanislau. This line con- tinues through Stanislau in a north
 
 Stryj, a fortified town of 25,00O inhab- itants situated on the Stryj River, 42 miles south of Lerberg
 'The fifth spoke in the Stanis1au railroad wheel is a line to the south, passing through Delatyn 5 miles dis tant. This road, being westward, af- lords direct communication in peace times between Stanislau and the Hun garian capital BUda Pest, the dis tarce being about 2?5 miles.
 Stanislau nestles between two important southern tributaries of the Dniester, which flows ten miles to the north.
 "The land in the vicinity of Stanis1au is extremely fertile and before the war the town, which had a population of 33, 900, was an agricultural center Among it's industries in addition to it's railroad shops were dyeing, milling and tile making.
 ''The most impressive bit of archi- lecture in the city is the handsome parish church, which contains the tomb of the famous Potocki family, one of whom founded the place in the last half of the 17th century and another Stanislau Felix Potocki was largely instrumental in the utter ruin or Po- land. The latter as a promising youth became the standard -bearer of the Crown at the age of p. He was in tent upon dividing his country into an oligarchy of independent grandees who were to enjoy supreme power in rota- tion. With the aid of the Russian empress, Catherine, he became a dic- tator for a short time, but when the Prussians took possession of Great Po- land he was unable to secure further aid from Muscovites. He retired for a time to Vienna and the last eight years of his life were peacefully spent in i'm proving his vast private estates. "Stanislau was alnost completely destroyed by fire in 1868"

POLITICAL
Rural Credits Pretensicns.

President Wilson has signed the rural credits bill passed by the pres ent congress, saying as he did so:
 l look forward to the benefits of this bill, not with eHtrayagant expectations, but with confident expectation that it will be of very wide reaching benefit, and incidentally it will be of advantage imagine no more satisfactory or solid investments than this system will af-
 ford those who have money to use.
 1nasmuch as the measure provides only for machinery to loan money on first mortgage on unincumbered land, and for but 50 per cent of the value,
 tho exact benefit the farmer is going to derive is not clear. Some argument has been made that it will have the effect of lowering the interest rate to
 the farmer. This remains to be seen. The farm loan banks are to be per mitted to issue debenture bonds, guar anteed by the banks but not by the government, based on the first mort gage loans of the banks, but these
 bonds must carry rate of interest sufficiently high to make them at tractive to investors or their sale will
 be slow. The only cooperation per nitted to the farmer under law takes the form or organizing branches of the regional bank. The short time loan, needed for the handling crops or in Q live stock deal, is noc known to the farm loan bank, which is to be exclu- sively a land loan affair
 The president is justified in his ex- pectation that the farm loan bank will provide a safe. solid and profitable investment for those that have money but it remains to be seen how It is go, ing to help the farmer who is Q bor- rower and not a lender r?-On1aha Bee.
