Con- or unconsciously, there must se an approach to the higher standard where the man becomes not a good grower oniy, but a skilled breeder.” in conclusion he believes that the ven who made the New England ex- josttion at Worcester a possibility, a certainty and @ success, are entitled ‘0 & glad hand from every honest son of New England. AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT. Among the interesting experiments booked for the near future is the sink- ing of artesian wells on the island of Appledore, of the Isles of Shoals group which Was the home of ‘elia Thaxtes, whose poppy gar- dem thers became historic, of which she wrote: “It blossomed vy the sum- mer sea, a tiny speck of tangled bloom, vhersin o many flowers found room— } a miracle it seemed 1o be.” But these wea-girt ises have never known any water but the salt sea which lashes the )eaches and the rainfall which nour- shes the few green things which grew upon them. Although a famous sum? er resort, it has had to depend upon s mainland for water, and this has somewhat interfered with the greater development of the place asa summer w it is proposed to bore 1 the solid ledges of Ap- f an inexhaustible sup- | v of good epring water cannot be ob- | tained.

Since these appointments are likely to be made next k the reading public bas not & to wait i# also said that the president is bound, so far as i him lies, to check the tide of extravagance; and that he has deciined to approve the cabinet officers’ estimates of departmental ex- penses for the year and has requested that they be reduced, which is taken | in high places to mean that the presi- dont intends to be “head of the econ- omy club and chairman of the execu- tive committee.” resident Taft's message, we are told, will be 40,000 words in length, or alout five pages of The Bulletin. This snith indicates that the president is tesirous of laying before the closing session of congress the policies he de- si‘es to promote and the important ws he hopes to have enacted by the short session. The republicans can iy save the administration and their party by prompt and efficient work In these closing months. | Some day, perhaps, the Congres- # onal Record will print the portrait of the members of congress to illus- tate the speaches, and that may keep it lemger out of the junkshops. ANOTHER DES MOINES PLAN. The reformers of Des Moines ap- pear to be a’ united moral as well as political force and they are bent upon knowing their town, for they know that it is only by a thorough knowl- edge of the irregularities that the real needs of a city can be conceived. Des Moines is a license city with a citizens’ association that makes it a business to study conditions that it may act intel- ligently for the good of all the people. A committee of this association gave their attention to the licensed places of a Friday evening and on the follow- ing Sunday kad their report read in all the pulpits of the place. Their re- port showed that 85 women drank li- quor in the saloons on the night that the watching was done. There were 235 persons entered these licensed saloons between 8 o’clock at night, and 10, closing time. Of these, 189 were minors. This is definite knowledge, which shows that the citizens’ association is becoming acquainted with the shady side of rhunicipal life and preparing itself to enforce obedience to the law. In large cities, too few people know their town. Some of them know the social and religious side, some the bus- iness and social side, and too few the amusement and comvivial side. To make a city administration square up to the moral code more people must know thelr city from every side. WHERE CLEANLINESS AROUSED SUSPICION. There are some folks who do mnot like dirty dollar-bills, and a part of them are fortunate enough to have new bank-notes to shop with most of the time. Some people, it seems, wash and the treasury department at ashington is so unaccustomed to the washed note that only the experts can't tell it from a counterfeit. The fol- lowing story just illustrates where cleanliness comes closer to crime than to godliness. One of these washed notes got into the treasury depart- ment at Washington recently and cre- ated quite a furore; and the secret service men were called in to follow up this clue to irregularities. It was a fresh, new-looking $1 silver certificate sent in by a New York bank, the state- ment being made that the bill had been deposited by a woman whom they were keeping under their eye. The pank had labeled the dollar counter- feit. Secret Service Chief Wilkie took the dollar in hand and examined it very carefully. He brought his power- ful magnifying slass into service and turned the bill over and over, trying to find in it some error, but the error, was not there. He examined it obverse and reverse and on the edges. The bill did not look just right; but, just the same, not a single flaw could be found in ft. After he examined it about an hour he called his chief assistant, to whom he turned the dollar-bill over with the trenchant remark, “It's been washed, that's all,” and so there is no counterfelt dollar-bill of that particu- lar vintage.

THE MAN WHO TALKS It is a good habit to look at things occasionally from the other person’s point of view instead of our own; but it is far from being a common habit. It is something that leads right up ‘o charitable conclusions, and the Lord knows the world has not an over- abundance of them. If it could increase its assets in this direction it would be a better world to Mve in. Our idea of things is very likely to be an exagger- ted idea of them. The other fellow's ea may be; but having mastered both ideas there is no question that by com- parison a much better judgment might e reached. A person who tries to do this i8 better than the person who does not. It is a way of getting into an- other’s joys and miseries through imag- ination, and it is a good use to make >f it, for it improves both the person and the imagination. We hear a great deal about the self- made man and only a little about the self-made woman, but that may be because she has not got into politics vet. Self-made simply means that with jimited opportunities these persons have set over to their account credit- able achievements. They neither in- herited a pile nor were favored with ' “but just “got up and got there.” These persons always carry with them an air of pride—of having made good—which becomes them, but if the conceit enlarges thelr head and escapes their lips in vain boasting it makes the world smile. It takes a level headed person to carry hopors as if they belonged to them instead of being borrowed. Self doesn’t figure so much in this kind of success as making the most of little_opportunities opened up by othems, We are all more or less oreatures of circumstance—too —many of us less and this is how the self- made person came to think he was the solitary designer of his own carcer. It brings a smile to our face when we | call on a friend and see posted on his | desk: “This is my busy day! Most of us think that doesn’t mean us, but it means everybody. Some people know when it is time to go, but they make a bad mess of getting away, they indulge in too much jockeying, if you will ex- cuse the term, and this fault is as com- mon among men as among women, of whom Samantha Psalter is a type—it | takes her twice as long to farewell as it does to make her business known. “This is my busy day!” is a polite way of hinting that you must “cut it short!” It refers to the call as well as to the talk. If there had been no lingerers, except the lingerers at the gate, there! would never have been a necessity for this common slgn In busimess places. It is a good sign, means no offense, and should be accepted as a polite hint to properly value despatch and to pro- mote it. We are all more or less victims of a temperament, and too many people be- -ome temperamentally a “dlstress” to their associates and their friends who apologize for them because of their mettlesome qualities, and these nettle- some persons think they inherited this peculiarity which is principally com- | posed of a lack of self-control and bad manners, when really they are guilty of cultivating it all the time. It is no mark of superiority to be moody or uncivil or queer, although this conceit is so0 common that we all know one or two persons, at least, of this character. Some speak of them as grouches and some as “disagreeable people” and 2 few perceptive, unsympathetic persons may allude to them as “fools!” The temperament that has to be handled with kid gloves and be constantly ex- plained is about the poorest thing any wman being ever ‘harbored. Self- poseessed people show it the door. It has been remarked that few men would care to be taxed on the space ¢ think they occupy in the world. is doubtless true, for it is this imaginative guality which gave rise to the speculative maxim that “To buy a 1 man at his real value and to sell him | at his own valuation of himself would be a speedy way of getting rich.” It is rather strange the first man who hought he was some pumpkins, for he must have been the originator of this onceit, was not immortalized. It more han likely invited ridicule at first and | »ecame respectable only by its increase ind popular endorsement. A great ridiculous things in life have »een made tolerable In this way. It is| of some advantage for a person to| think well of himself, of course, for if 1e did not who would be likely to think well of him? TPve given that question up a great many times—you may | wrestle with it If you desire to. The two afflictions which appear to excite sympathy in this worid are nervousness and homesickness and | hey are just as real and deep seated | as ‘any gther bodily trouble. In old| times ‘the doctors used to think that | hey could be laughed out of patients; | md in ancient days it was not infre- | quent to recommend the horsewhip as | 2 means of making such patients brace ap. It is realized now that neurasthen- | a and nostalgia are diseases which reate more agony of mind than any| >thers and often they are due to some other serionus physical disorder. As ‘o homesickness, it has been discov- | ered that soldiers who have acquired ! rsterions, in servic by inches, frequently recover at once when taken into their home country or nto environment that is simllar. Tt | takes the world a Jong while to @ind | out simple things because of its lack of interest and sympathy.

Some people have the fac- | ulty of making shopping a pleasure to themselves and to those with whom | they deal, while others make such hard work of it that every expedition | into a store ecomes a burden to themselves and a trial to the unfor- tunate clerk who is obliged to attend them. We are all advised to shop early in the season, early in the week, and early in the day, but not every one can do this, and with the best in- tentions and most careful planning something is found to be overlooked and demands a hurried trip to the stores and much seaching in many places before the desired article can be obtained. A little more independence of thought would help simplify the prob- Jem. Make up your mind to give nothing from sense of obligation or because you think it will be expect- ed. Make no gift which is not accom- panied with a true Christian wish. Lowell tells us, “The gift without the giver is bare,” and this is true. An inexpensive gift sent from a genuine desire to please is much more valuable than lavish expenditure given from a feeling of necessity. Give without thought of receiving, and should some- thing unexpected come to you, do not feel that a costly return must be made. A great gift made in return for some slight attention is net in g 0a taste and is _in the nature of a sunb. Remember those who work foxr you, | those who are ill or whose lives are darkened by care or trial, but be not grieved if all your fashionable friends | are not on your list of claimants. | Above all, never allow yoursel? to | say, “I shall be glad when Christmas is over and done with, I am so tired | with all this shopping.” What a feel- | ing with which to greet the best day | of the whole year! To avoid th weariness is one reason for early shopping. Mollie Harrison believed in early shopping for Christmas, so she start- ed out one bright fresh morning in the late fall to inspect the stock of Christmas goods already being adver- | tised by the merchants. She also wanted a new hat for the season. Mollie was attractive, her friends said, though not handsome, but as she step- ped out of the house many would have admitted she was not far from hand- some. Her dark hair, carefully ar- ranged with a view to trying a new hbat, and her bright ‘hazel eves, added to a glowing bloom of health: young life made her face a pleas- ant picture for those she met. This morning she wore & natty suit of dark blue, which set off her charms to good advantage, and more than one turned to take a second look at her as she went briskly down the street. But Mollie's greatest charm lay in her happy expression, and she always met her friends with a cheery word and a smile whereby one caught a glimpse of even rows of pearly white teeth. The clerks in the store caught the infec- tlon of her happiness, and served her | with an alacrity not always shown to | their patrons. They cheerfully turned over their goods to find a hat to suit Miss Mollie’s taste; but their custom- er aid not approve all the grotesque | shapes offered as “the very newest” | and “so stylish and becoming.” At | last her demands were satisfied, and | with the new hat jauntily adjusted | and the 0ld one in a parcel—for Moll carried her own parcels sometime she started toward the counter where some of the Christmas goods were dis played. On the way she met one of | her acquaintances. “Mollie Harrison, how glad 1 am to see you! Did you zet that lovely hat here? I am out on the same errand, but I've not found one yet. I never get anything here, anyway. They hare the most dis- agreeable set of clerks I ever saw. I just said so to that girl over there, and she said, ‘There’s a difference in customers, too.’ Did you ever hear anything so impudent? " “Why.” replied Mollle, “I think them very nice here. It is my favorite store,” and the two separated, Mollie intent on her Christmas purchases, her friend going out to find a store:more to her liking. As Mollie was leaving the store, having finished her purchases, her at- tention was arrested by the happy face of a young girl presiding over an | attractively arranged display of laces | and trimmings. “What lovely things you have here” said she to the girl “You must take pleasure in handling them.” “Yes,” responded the clerk; “the laces are prettier than ever thig season. Isn't that plece beautiful? T'd like it myself. I know just what I| would do with it” Mr. Morten, one | of the firm, passed by just then, and he overheard the remark. He glanced | at the girl thinking, “Tt must be a| temptation, sometimes. I wonder we do not lose more than we do. The girls must be watched more sharply. Tl speak to Mr. Matthewson, the floor-walker, about it.” During the! day that vefy plece of lace disappear- | ed, and Ethel Dearing, the clerk, was obliged to report it missing. A day or two later a fine place of trimming van- ished. Bthel began to worry, though: she knew herself to be blameless. A third time she had to report a loss from her counter, and Mr. Morton told her that in future she would be held | responsible for such occurrences. | Something led her to feel that he sus- pected her, and she felt the injustice keenly. Matthewson was sure of her innocence. He determtned to find th: suilty one, “Watch your customers,’ spid he to Fthel, “and the time when the goods disappear.” She observed | that one ell-dressed woman often | came to her counter and seldom bought anything, although she admir- | ed many things., She always carried | {'a large muff, but Bthel could not de tect her secreting anything in it‘ | Matthewson suspected the same per- son, and decided to make use of 2| Jarge mirror which reflected Ethel's counter. He watched the mirror, and his vigilance was rewarded, for one day he saw a pfece of lace drawn into | the bottom of the muff. On her way! from the store the lady was detained | and confronted with the evidence of ft and threatened with arrest. v med with shame and fear, | she admitted her guilt and showed Uhem her muff <with its arrangement for concealing goods through an open- | ing in the bottom; she restored the goods and begged for mercy and was allowed to go free. Hthel was over-| joyed at the proof of her own inno- ! cence. “Tll nmever complain again of being tired or discouraged,” said she.! “It is trying to stand all day and work over-hours as we have to do at this, season, but nothing ever occurred that | troubled me so much as this. But T couldn’t help being sorry for the poor | woman, and T am glad they did not arrest her” “Well,” _replied her mneighboring| clerk, “You are more ing than I We have enough to! bear without being imposed upon in that way. I mean to keep a sharp lookout on my customers after this.
