[By "Doe"] It is queer that a man can’t make himself accept the excuse that goes so easily with others. The ordinary man is never so happy as when he can talk all he wants about his Pet Theory. Some men remain bachelors be- cause they fear the outbreaks of their fool friends at the wedding. A “great waste” in the govern- ment printing office is reported. Probably refers to the publishing of the Congressional Record. — The Pullman Company has given its conductors and porters a $200,- 000 tip for being polite, but the dear public need not imagine that it can keep its change in its pocket. From Washington comes a report of an earthquake “3,800 miles away from the capital.” Why not wire Vice President Fairbanks for de- tails? He is about that far from the White House. ‘ When a man goes out to buy any- thing he always knows exactly what he wants; he goes to the store, walks straight to the counter, asks for the thing he wishes, has it wrapped up, takes it with him—and next day finds out that he didn’t get what he wanted after all.

O. Howard on the retired list ot the army as a lleutenant general. {@eneral Howard is the only offieer now viag who commanded an army corps during the Civil war. He also. has [pocsived the thanks of congress for {meritorious service. Franco-Canadian Treaty Adopted.

CUT NNE. MALLIONS Army Expenditures as Estimated by War Department. COMMITTEE ACTS ON BILL Annual Appropriation Measure as Re- ported to the House Carries Over $85,000,000, Nearly $7,000,000 in Ex- cess of Last Year. ‘Washington, Feb. 7.—A cut of nearly $9,000,000 in the army appropriation bill is the net result of weeks of con- sideration of that measure by the house committee on military affairs, which has concluded its deliberations and agreed to report the bill to the house. The bill as decided on carries a total appropriation of $85,017,616, or $8,790.048 less than the estimates sub- mitted by the war department and urged by Secretary Taft. As last year’s appropriation was $78,197,311 the appropriation agreed upon by the house committee for the coming year 18 excessive of that by $6,820,305. TALKS ON INDIAN BILL. Qardener (Mich.) Confines Remarks to Pending Measure. ‘Washington, Feb. 7.—The house of representatives resumed its considera- tion of the Indian appropriation bill. Mr. Gardener of Michigan championed the cause of the non-reservation school, which the bill proposes to abolish. He sarcastically referred to the political debate which had taken place while the bill technically was up for discussion and said he was not sure that he did not owe the house an apology for assuming to speak on it. He severely condemned the proposi- ton to do away with the non-reserva- tion schools at the behest of one man —the commissioner of Indian affairs— and urged the house not to break down the system of education which had been built up at great expense and with great care and which had received the approval of administra- tion after administration for thirty years. NO INCREASE IN SALARIES Postal Employes Affected by Business Conditions. ‘Washington, Feb. 7.—"“In the face of prevailing business conditions, on which postal revenues are based, and in view of the large increases granted last year I think it is extremely im- probable that the committee will this Yyear recommend any general increase of salaries of postal employes outside of the regular classification advances.” This statement was made by Chair- man Qverstreet of the house commit- tee on postoffices and postroads. That cominittee concluded the hearings on the postofiice appropriation bill. The bill as it stands carries a total appro- priation of $212,000,000, which is about $19,000,000 less than the aggregate estimates submitted by the depart- ment. Temperance People Ask Action. Washington, Feb. T7.—Representa- tives of the Prohibition party, the Anti-Saloon league of America, the Woman'’s Christian Temperance union, the Presbyterian church, the United Presbyterian church and other Chris- tlan organizations appeared before the house committee on judiciary to urge & favorable report on one or more of the bills introduced to protect “dry” local optlon districts from, receipt of interstate as well as intrastate ship- ments of liquor. E Three foreigners, unused to gas, Wwere asphyxiated at their boarding house in Erie, Pa. - The senate has passed the bill pro- viding for the participation by the United States in the Alaska-Yukon ex- position at Seattle, Wash., in 1908, Gustav Walstedt, a Chicago oarpen- ter, shot and killed his daughter Helen, nine years old, and then killed himself. Walstedt is belleved to have been insane. The Licking rolling mill at Coving- ten, Ky., was almost entirely destroyed by fire. Loss, $200,000. The mill manufactured bar iron and gave em- ployment to 400 men. Heartbroken because his musical ambition was thwarted fourteen-year- old Ernest Roth dropped dead in New York ecity on his’ way to a manual training school. The condition of Former Governor John H. Mickey of Nebraska, who, since his retirement from the execu- tive office has been seriously ill at his home in Osceola, shows no improve- ment. Freiherr von Stengel, secretary of the German fmperial treasury, has re- signed. The retirement of Von Sten- gel 18 undoubtedly connected with the financial embarrassments of the Ger- man empire. The Minnesota state drainage board has instructed George A. Ralph, its engineer, to make a preliminary sur- vey looking to the drainage of between 20,000 and 25,000 acres of land located in Aftkin county. The land les be- twoen the Mississippl and Willow riv- ors. The exports from Germany to tho United Btates, invoiced by Alexander H. Thackara, the American consul gen- eral at Berlin, since the beginniug of the financial disturbances in America, are from 20 to 40 per cent less each month when compared with the cor- respending month ‘of the preceding year.

For a product of nature a California navel orange as it graces the breakfast table or the push cart is about the most artificial thing in the world. It s also a very striking illustration of the fact that while beauty may be only skin deep it counts for a whole lot. To begin with, the navel orange of California is an exotic, reaching its present habitat after devious wander- Ing. And, be it ever so sweet tasting, if its skin has had its beauty marred it scarcely ever gets farther than the orchard where it grew. Not only that, but even the most comely ones before they are boxed and shipped are brush- ed by machinery and polished and otherwise fussed with to give them a beauty which mere nature never would have provided.—Willlam R. Stewart In Technical World. = Ignorance Not Bliss. “There is a certain gnawing uncer tainty about calling on people who speak a different language from their servants,” remarked the woman who does. “You can never tell whether they are saying, ‘Make another cup of tea, Katie; I have company,’ or ‘She always drops in about tea time, con- found her! Pour some more hot water In the pot’ "—New York Press. ® Saw For Himself. A man carrying a looking glass sald to a newsboy, “Come here and look Into this glass and you will see a don- key.” “How did you find that out?” retort- ed the boy.—London Express. Opposites Often Wed. “Miss, you are a hoiden. Nobody will ever care to marry a bolsterous girl.” “Don’t worry, mother. I'll ind some nice, girlsterous boy.”—Kansas City Journal. A A Rejection Slip. “Sir,” said the shivering beggar, stopping the prosperous magazine ed- {tor on the street, “I have a long, sad story”— “Sorry,” briskly replied the maga- zine editor, passing on, “but we are only open for short, funny stories now; full of the other kind.”—Success Maga- zine. No Thanks. “I broke a record today. Had the last word with a woman.” “Didn’t think it possible. How’d it happen?” “Why, I said to a woman in the car, ‘Madam, have my seat.’”—Philadel- phia Ledger. Good Trade. “Oh, my business is good,” sald the trombone player., “In fact, I am al- ways blowing about it.” “Well, 'm sooted with mine, too,” sald the chimney sweep. “And mine is out of sight,” said the diver. Do one thing at a time and the big things first.—Lincoln. Problems In Fiotion. Reverence for decorum and even for social prejudices did not hamper the real masters of the English novel. It did not stifie in the cradle “Vanity Fair” or “Wuthering Heights” or “Di- ana of the Crossways” or “Adam Bede.” There are problems enough in all these works, but they are handled by men and women of genius,” who treat both their subjects and their readers with respect.—London Stand- ard. How They Love Each Other. “Yes,” said Miss Passay, “he's an awfully inquisitive bore. He was try- ing to find out my age the other day, 8o I just up and told him I was fifty. That settled him.” “Well,” replied Miss Pepprey, “I guess it is best to be perfectly frank with a fellow like that.”—Philadelphia Press. A Good Job Coming. Jeweler—How was your boy pleased with the watch I sold you? Fond Fa- ther—Very well, sir. He isn’t ready to have it put together yet, but be pa- tient. I'll send him around with it In a day or two. Interests of All One thing ought to be aimed at by all men—that the interest of each individ- ually and of all collectively should be the same, for if each should grasp at his Individual interest all human so-- clety will be dissolved.—Cicero. All They Deserve. “Some people claim-~they don’t get: nuthin’ out o life.” “And they are the kind that don’t put nuthin’ Into it to draw Interest on.”—Louisville Courler-Journal. 8Silent and Dramatic. Thé most dramatic of silent men was Wallenstein, the antagonisti of Gustavus Adolphus and the command- er of the emperor’s armies in the Thir- ty Years' war. He insisted that the deepest silence should reign about him, His officers took care that no loud con- versation should disturb their general, They knew that a chamberlain had been hanged for waking him without orders and that an officer who would wear clanking spurs in the command- er's presence had been secretly put to death. In the rooms of his palace the servants glided as if they were phantoms, and a dozen sentinels mov- ed about his tent charged to secure the silence the general demanded. Chains were stretched across the streets in order to guard him against the disturbance of sounds. Wallen- stein’s taciturnity, which made him shun speech, and his love of silence, ‘which caused him to be irritated at the slightest nolse, were due to his constitutional temperament. He never smiled, he never asked advice from any one, and he could not endure to be gazed at, even when giving an or- der. The soldiers, when he crossed the camp, ‘pretended not to see him, knowing that a curlous look would bring them punishment. English Sporting Parsons. To the London Times a correspond- ent writes: “Once when a duke of Grafton was thrown into a ditch a young curate who .had been closely competing with him for pride of place shouted, ‘Lie still, your grace’ and cleared him and his hunter and the fence at a bound. So pleased was the duke with the performance that he declared he would give the young di- vine his first vacant living and not long afterward carried out the prom- ise, vowing that if the curate had stopped to pull him out of the dike he would never have patronized him. ‘Sporting parsons’ are still to be found in almost every county today who can hold their own in the first flight when hounds run hard and some of the keen- est fox hunters in all times have been supplied from the ranks of the clergy. Even the warning against their ‘hawkynge, huntynge and dansynge’ in the reign of King Henry VI appears to have had very little effect.” Only One Sea Power. In the audacity of puny triumphs nations are called sea powers, but| there is only one sea power, and that 1s the sea itself. “Far famed our na- vies melt away.” Within a hundred yards of the best charted shore stout ships are as bubbles. That sea that is as familiar when calm to little boats and ferries and tugs as are the thor- oughfares of a city to its crowd of humanity takes on all the aspect of chaotic terror when winds and storms prevail. The waters so close as to re- flect the friendly lights of the great metropolis are as allen to the forces of men as are the depths of the farthest ocean. Lord Byron’s “Apostrophe’” has lost none of its tremendous reality in all the progress from-the little wooden saflers to our greatest merchantmen and ironclads: Nor can its truth be lessened in all .the maturest develop- ment we can dream of.—Kansas City Times. Origin of Precious Ores. Men sometimes dream of enormous ‘wealth stored deep in the earth, be- low the reach of miners; but, accord- ing to an eminent geologist, there is little or no ground to believe that val- uable metallic deposits lie very deep In the earth’s crust. Such deposits, according to this authority, are made by underground waters, and owing to the pressure on the rocks at great depths the waters are confined to a shell near the surface. With few ex- ceptions ore deposits become too lean to zepay working below 8,000 feet. Nine mines in ten, taking the world as a whole, are poorer in the second thousand feet than in the first thou- sand and poorer yet in the third thou- sand “than in the second.—Chicago Record-Herald. 5% SHAKE IT OFF.

Clyde Johnson, living at 1o14 Bemidji Ave, Bemidji, Minn., says; ¢I had been feeling very miseroble for some-time and 1 was enduring a great deal of suffering from kidney complaint. There was a pain 1n my back and during the early part of the day I felt languid and tired out, and the soreness caused me great discom- fort. I decided to try ‘a reliable kidney remedy and went to The Owl Drug Store, and procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills. I used them according to directions, soon the pains disappeared and that tired, languid feeling van- ished. I know Doan’s Kidney Pills to be a reliable remedy and can recommend them to anyone suffering from kidney complaint.” For sale by all dealers, Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn €o., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for the United States, Remember the name—Doan’s— and take no other, Kipling at Work, “I have lounged in Rudyard Kip. ling’s den at Brattleboro, Vt., before he deserted America for England and saw him at his work. He sat at his table in a revolving chair. I had a book in my hand and said nothing un- less I was spoken to, for 1 was enjoy- ing a great privilege that was granted to no one else but his wife. He would write for a moment, perhaps for ten ot fifteen minutes at a time. If he was writing verses he would hum very softly to himself an alr which proba- bly kept the rhythm in his mind. When writing prose, he was silent, but often he would lay down his pen whirl round in his chair and chat for awhile. It might be something relat- ing to the subject he was treating or bear no relation to it. Suddenly he would wheel back again, and his pen would fairly fly over the paper. He can easily concentrate his thoughts and as easily descend from cloud land to the commonplace of the day, though in his mind acd on his lips nothing is ever commonplace. Some of his poems he has written when speeding in a Pullman car at the rate of sixty miles an hour.” it Bi Shooting a humming bird with the smallest bird shot made is out of the question, for the tiniest seeds of lead ‘would destroy his coat. The only way in which the bird can be captured for commercial purposes is to shoot him with a drop of water from a blowgun or a fine jet from a small syringe. Skillfully directed, the water stuns him. He falls into a silken net and before he recovers consciousness is suspended over a cyanide jar. This must be done quickly, for if he comes to his senses before the cyanide whiff snuffs out his life he is sure to ruin his plumage in his struggles to escape. Humming birds vary in size from spec- imens perhaps half as large as a spar- row to those scarcely bigger than a bee. The quickest eye cannot follow them in full flight. It is only when, though still flying furiously, they are practically motionless over flowers that the best marksman can bring them to earth.—New York Press. The Feeding of Dogs. “No dog kept indoors and indeed very few outside should be fed on meat nor should he be fed from the table at mealtimes, as he will soon become a nuisance, especially when there are visitors. If he is always fed at the conclusion of a certain meal— dinner, for instance—he will wait pa- tlently until the prescribed time. It is a good plan to feed after one’s midday meal, giving plenty of green vegeta- bles, bread and potatoes, with a very few scraps of finely cut meat, the whole well mixed and some gravy poured over it. If two meals are given, one should be at breakfast time and one in the evening. Ome should con- sist of only a little oatmeal and milk or a piece of dry dog biscuit. “At no time should the dog have more than he will eat, and if he leaves anything on his plate except the pat- tern his allowance should be reduced or a meal omitted.”—Suburban Life.
