Touches, American Wood.

The toughest American wood is that
of the Usage orange, which Is not an
orange at all, but belongs to the nettle
family. This has been proved by a
series Of tests made by the United
States Forest Service, but the Indians
knew II before the coming Of the white
man, and 1t was known to them as the
bow tree, because they used 1t for
making their finest bows. Some idea
of its strength may be had from the
report made not long ago by the
forest service, which shows that a
block thirty inches long and two
inches in cross-section when bent
breaks under stress of 1900 pounds,
its nearest rival being a variety of
the hickory called monkey-nut. When
bent by the impact of 10O-pound
hammer. 1t stands stress of 1880.

YOUNG REPUBLICANS UNITE
One Hundred Young Congressman
Tired of Red Tape, Unite to
Speed Up Legislation.

Representative Ansorge, of New
York, has issued statement assert
ing that the new republican mem
bers OF the house were dissatisfied
with the progress made by congress
at the present special session, and
disclosing that he and ten others had
Joined in call for a conference of
approximately 100 new republican
pembers to discuss the situation.
Mr.. Ansorge said none of the OBJ
jects for which congress was called
into special session had been accom-
plished.
"Nor is there definite promise as
to when they will be-" he added.
There are upwards of 100 first term
republicans in the house and they all
feel, as / do, that we have not been
permitted to make our influence
felt.
I'VE are not meeting in any spirit
of revolt said Mr.. Ansorge, adding
that the new members wanted 'to
cut some Of the red tape and substi-
tute action for delay"
Congress was called into special
session for certain definite purposes,
namely, the revision of the cumber-
some, unwieldy and inequitable sys-
tenn of taxation, the passage of fair
protective tariff measure and the
passage of peace resolution. None
of these objects have as yet been
accomplished.
Nearly three months have passed
since the calling of the special ses-
sion and we want to see action SPELL
ed with capital A.
1--WE believe, with the republican
party, that what is best for the coun-
try is best for the party and we want
to impress that thought on some Of
the older members. Many of them
have been here so long they seem to
have forgotten It.
I'VE are not meeting in any spirit
OF revolt. We have come more re-
Gently from the people and our opin-
ion should have some weight. Con-
gress is all tied up with red tape. We
want to cut some of that red tape
and substitute action for delay. The
seniority rules can go too far. We
feel that our districts have as much
right to representation as has Uncle
Joe Cannon's.
This is not new thought. 1 have
talked 1t over with the new members
and they believe that conferences
from time to time will serve good
purpose"

SPOILED HIS GOOD THING

three cents to come into my yard and

The Modern Mark.

Mayor Moore of Philadelphia, being
congratulated on the success Of his
administration, laughed and observed :
"Good workmen are always modest
about their work. A lady once said
gushingly to Mark Twain:
81 guess, being such grand writer
as you are, you're awfully fond of
books, aren't your
swell, that depends drawled the
humorist. If book has leather
cover it has magnificent value as a
razor strop. A brief, concise work,
such as the French write, is very use
full TO put under the short leg of a
wabbly table. Large, old-fashioned
books with clasps can't be beat as
missiles TO hurl at dogs and cats. A
large book, like a geography, is nearly
as good as piece Of tin to nail over
a broken window pane"

REMAINS IN HER MEMORY
How North Star Brings Up Vision Of
Happy Childhood to the
Mind of Writer.

One of my own most perfect child
hoou memories. concerns my visits to
my grandmother, when she invited me
to stay for supper, and my grandpa
Their walked home With me after dark.
All along the way, he used to point
out our'two shadows on the pa yement,
as we passed the street lights one by
one.
We watched the way the shadows
were very short directly below the
lamp, and how they heightened until
they were Just our helght--his more
than twice as tall as mine-and how
they finally grew so long that their
tops were almost out of sight. The
object was TO find the point where
the shadows were exactly as tall as
ourselves. When we came to the
darkest part of the street, where our
shadows were lost in the hedges, we
used TO stop and find the North star
over pointed tree near my own
home.
That was always the way we made
the journey from his home to mine,
until he thought that was too old
to care to have him show me stars
and shadows any more. But for me,
as long as I live, the North star will
shine over that particular tree. And
/ shall always keep the memory Of
that funny little shadow that used
to be mine, clear cut with the light
behind it-and beside 1t, hand in hand
with It, that dear Characteristic shad-
ow that never falls on any road in
the world.-Frances Lester Warner in
the Atlantic Monthly.

Our Dearest Friends.

We spend great deal of our time
In learning what literature is good.
and great deal more in attuning our
minds to its reception, rightly con-
WINGED that, by the training of our in
tellectual faculties, we are unlocking
one of the doors through which sweet
ness and light may enter. We are
fond of reading, too, and have always
maintained with Macaulay that we
would rather be a poor man with
books than great king without,
though luckily for our resolution. and
perhaps for his, such a choice has
never yet been offered Books, we
say, are our dearest friends, and so,
with true friendly acuteness, we are
prompt to discover their faults, and
take great credit in our ingenuity

The Perils in a Kiss.

"As for Elodie-what did a kiss or

Stamp Collections and History.

Glimpses into unfamiliar bypaths Of
history may often be obtained by
stamp collections, says the London
Times. This is true of the series of
pictorial postage stamps issued by the
government of the Ukraine, some of
which bear the portraits of famous
Cossack hetmen who are identified
with the history of Little Russia. The
ten-grivni stamp printed in rose car
mine bears the likeness of Bogdan
Kheminitzki, the renegade Polish Of
ficer who led the Cossack revolt of
1852 and after vain attempts to es-
tablish himself as monarch and auto
crat of Rus" finally entered the serv-
ice of the czar 20 years later.

THE FRUITS OF WAR

News of the settlement of the
British coal strike il good news.
Any news is good news that tells OF
idle men going to work and by their
work making it possible for other
idle men to work also.
The world was never nearer bank
ruptcy. 1t never had such bills to
meet and such taxes to pay. Pro-
duction and the profitable exchange
of wealth afford the only way out.
The resumption of normal business
offers the surest way to equalize
prices, reducing those that are too
high and increasing those that are
too low. Idle men mean idle mines
and mills. They put nothing into
the pot and can take but little out.
They increase the hardships Of pow
erty and the danger OF collapse.
Yet, with the world In such a
state, there are, in both the old
world and the new, millions upon
millions of unemployed.
The British coal strike, in the
three months of its duration, cost
the British people, it is estimated,
one-third as much as the war itself
cost for the same period of time. 1t
intensified an alarming condition Of
almost inconceivable proportions.
The New York Times is authority
for the statement that "the British
government is now paying doles of
some sort to $4,000, 900 out of 49,
100000 population" AS the price
OF the settlement Of the strike the
government undertakes to grant a
subsidy of almost $4,000, 900 to the
mining industry. Unemployment re-
lief is costing the government at the
rate of $500, 100000 a year. The
tax rate has mounted so high that
Il absorbs from a third to a half of
the income of the people, rich and
poor alike.
Clearly Il is high time that, on
whatever terms Great Britain was
getting its idle hands to work to in
crease the current production of
wealth out of which alone taxes can
be paid.
Just as clearly, other remedial
measures are imperative. An agree
ment to reduce ornaments, and SO
reduce taxes, is one of them. Peace
in Ireland, to replace a policy that is
costing Britain not alone scores OF
millions of money, but is mourning
hatreds she cannot afford, and cost.
ing her friends she needs, is anoth.
er. Lloyd Georges open bid for a
disarmament agreement, and his ov,
ertures for a conference with the
embattled Irish, are the visible re.
suits Of the compulsion of stern eco.

when ten women met at the school
building at a. m. and churned, mould
ed, wrapped and judged butter. They
plan to offer the best home butter for
market we have ever had. They will
use thermometers for churning tenn
perature, square molds, parchment pa
per and community cartons. The score
card used for Judging is:
Perfect Score-Flavor As, body Is,
color Is, salt 10, package 5.
There will be several other com
munities that will standardize their
butter, thus enabling those who buy
butter to secure a much better prod
uct than has ever been offered on the
local market. Some of the communities
will ship their cream as soon as it is
possible to secure cream station.
