THIS IS MY 61st BIRTHDAY. Graham Taylor. Professor Graham Taylor, one of the best known sciologists in Amer- ica and pioneer worker in many movements looking to the uplift of the masses, was born in Schenectady, N. Y., May 2, 1851. His education was received at Rutgers College and the Reformed Theological Seminary at New Brunswick, N. J. After gra- duating from the last-named insti-| tution he was ordained to the min- istry of the Reformed church in 1873 TFor twelve years he was pas-' tor of a church in Hartford, Conn.,| and during a part of the time he was | also professor of practical theology in the Hartford Theological Semin- | ary. For the past twenty years Pro- fessor Taylor’s activities have been identified chiefly with the University of Chicago, where he has held the chair of sciology. He is the founder of the Chicago Commons, one of the most noted social settlements in the| country. Congratulations to: | Hallie Ermine Rives, novelist, thirty-four years old today. | Mrs. Isaac L.

The Massachusetts Situation. Since the word has been sent out over the country that Roosevelt yes- terday released the delegates at large from Massachusetts from vot- ing for him in the national conven- tion, many have been asking why he took this action. The situation in Massachusetts is one that may arise at any time with their kind of a-primary law. Roose- velt delegates at large were elected over the Taft delegates, but in the preferential vote, Taft won over Roosevelt. Owing, then, to the wording of the Massachusetts law, Roosevelt would receive in the na- tional convention ten district votes and eight votes at large, making a total of eighteen. Taft would re- ceive eighteen district votes, thus the entire vote of the state would be evenly split. Rosevelt’s telegram announcing that he would expect the delegates at large to vote for Taft although elected to vote for him means that he recognizes that the people of the state, as expressing their preference in the primary, prefer Taft to him- self. Knowing this, he refuses to allow the delegation from the state to split even and insists that Taft get the majority of votes. This will give Taft twenty-six and Roosevelt ten in the convention. Roosevelt’s action is based on his ideas of the “square deal” and will doubtless win him votes elsewhere. JUST OCCURRED TO HIM, “It never struck me before,” said Mr. Wimpl_eton, “but Doctor Temple stopped me this morning to tell me what a big, handsome, manly-looking fellow our son had grown to be.” “l1 don’t see how you could help no- “I have old today. | guess a mother is more likely to look Jerome K.

Those who heard the band con-; cert Tuesday night are loud in their praise of the new director, Alden M. Remfrey. They say that under his direction the band has taken an im—; petus forward and that good concerts can be expected during the summer. ‘Massachusetts Results. One result of the primaries in Mas- sachusetts stands out with startling clearness. Taft and Roosevelt split the state almost equally but LaFol- lette did not profit by the fight. His vote was but small. It would appar- ently indicate that the Bay state does not care for the really progressive principles of LaFollette but is equal- ly divided between brand of progressivism and the stand pat ideas of Taft. Government Road Subsidies. The recent action of congress pro- viding for subsidies of $25, $20 and $15 on roads over which rural free "delivery mail is carried will be ap- preciated in the north country where the roads need every dollar that can be found for expenditure on them. $15 a mile is not a large amounq and for construction purposes would not go far, but if used as a maintenance fund would keep the roads in repair through the summer. One man can keep six miles of roads in good re- pairsby careful work (as proved by the Roosevelt! for such things than a father is.” “Oh, I've realized that Will was handsome and manly-looking, all right. You never have been any more proud of him than I have been.” “But you just said it never had struck you before.” “I mean it never struck me before how much he resembles me.” A BUILDING PROPOSITION, { Percy—Why so quiet, Miss Grace?

Some eighteen centuries ago life sud- denly ceased in the streets of Pompeti. Many of the inhabitants escaped from the showers of ashes and stones which Vesuvius dropped upon the doomed city, but they left behind them hun- dreds of things which illustrate the familiar saying, “There is nothing new under the sun.” Those old Pompellans were very modern. They had folding doors and hotwater urns; they put gratings to their windows and made rookeries’ in their gardens. ' Their children had toys like ours— bears, lions, pigs, cats, dogs, made of clay, and sometimes serving as pitch- ers, also. People wrote on walls and cut their names on seats, just as we do now. They kept birds in cages. They gave tokens at the doors of their places of entertainment—the people of the gallery had pigeons made of a sort of terra-cotta, They put lamps inside the hollow eyes of the masks that adorned their fountains. They even made grottoes of shells—vulgarity itself is ancient. They ate sausages and hung up strings of onions. They had stands for public vehicles, and the school- master used a birch on the dunces. They put stepping stones across the roads, that the dainty young patrician gentleman and the pursy old senators puight not soil their gilded sandals. It was never cold enough for their | Dpipes to burst, but_they turned their Water on and off with taps, and their cook shops had marble counters. They clapped their offenders into the stocks; two gladiators were there for eighteen hundred years. When their crockery broke they riveted it. At Herculaneum there is a huge wine jar half buried in the earth. It had been badly broken, but ‘it was 0 neatly mended, with its many rivets, that it no doubt held wine as well as ever. Those rivets have lasted more than 1,800 years, ‘What would the housewife have said {f some one had told her that her cracked pot would outlast the Roman empire?—Harper’'s Weekly. All Are Ours. ‘We lament the hostility of circume stances and the elusive nature of op- portunity; but if we are in the gtream of power all circumstances are ours. The master of right living is keyed to his surroundings and lives as the rose opens to the sky and air. Study yourself, lay firm hold on the deep germs of angelhood, the foldea blos- foms of beauty, and bid them come forth! By Natural Reasoning. A keen student of human nature must have written t!: following: “When you see a youn; man sailing down a street shortly after midnight with his collar crumpled, you can make up your mind that there's a young girl crawling upstairs not far distant, with her shoes under her arm and an extinguished lamp in her hand.” | Depar tment The Pioneer Want Ads 3 CGASH WITH coPy _l /2 cent per word per Issue 15 cents. 80 your want ad gets to them all.

At one of Empress Catherine’s prk vate parties, when she was as usual walking about from card table to card table looking at the players, she sud- denly rang the bell for hér page, but be did not come; she looked agitated and impatient, and rang again, but still no page appeared. At length she left the room, and did not again return; and all the players wondered what the fate of the poor page might be. Short. ly after, however, someone, having oc- casfon to go into the antechamber of the pages, found a party of them at cards, and the empress seated at the table playing with them. She had found that the page she rang for was so interested in the game, that he could not leave it to attend to her summons; so she had quietly take en his hand for him, to play it out, While he went on the errand. A Chinese Puzzle. Some days ago we published & conundrum from the Chinese, taken from a Paris contemporary, but as we have not received the correct answer we give it, together with the original question. The question ran: “Young I am green, old I am yellow; well beaten I become compliant; if 1 ac- company & friend for long, he urges me to leave him; young I am honored, old I am despised.” The answer is “Straw slippers.”—London Globe, THE it to me. to keep payday alive. How my work is Ilive that others may be happy and prosperous, Every day I carry hundreds of messages to many thousands of men and women. Never was there such a busy work - er, such a tireless worker, as I. A purse is lost; I restore it. A home is without a maid, a maid is without a place; I bring them together. New furniture is bought; IFIND A PUR- CHASER for the old. How many attics have I emptied to the housewife's profit.

I am so swift, so faithful; yet I make no promises. I simply do the best I can, for one and all. And how cheaply I work. second hand automobiles at the cost of a gallon of gasoline. A man bought a piece of property, one day; the next he sent me out to sell it; the next, the deed was recorded. He made $600.00 less my fee of 30c. Isit any wonder I am popular? And isn’tit a wonder I am-content to dress in six-point type? Why every day somebody telephones, calling me off the job, saying I have done enough. I haven’t always been as imporant as I am now. Oh, dear, no! There was a time when I had very few opportunities to exercise my talents. I remember how good I felt when I first filled a half column. Everyone in the office talked about it. But now! Well, you can see for yourself how I have grown. Yet how could I help growing, when I was all the time doing such wonderful things? I am still growing. The doctor says it is because my circulation is so good. Iam glad of it. I want to become more and more use- ful to the people of this beautiful city. If there are any whom I haven't served, I pre- sent my most respectful compliments and solicit a test of my powers. Asfor my old customers, they feel of course that they can’t get along without me.
