A Few Words About the Tariff A good deal is being said by many Democratic and a few Republican papers about the alleged policy to which the Iowa Republicans have committed the Republican party of the nation. This passage in that platform is cited with much emphasis: "We favor such changes in the tariff from time to time as become advisable through the progress of our industries and their changing relations to the commerce of the world." These papers—the few Republican and the many Democratic—talk as if this declaration by the Republicans of a single state committed the Republican party of the country to a general overhauling of the tariff in the coming session of Congress. They forget that a similar declaration was made by the same state in 1901, and that it has received no attention from the Republican members of Congress in or out of that state in all the months which have passed since. As a formulation of principle that utterance is all right. Every one of the 7,000,000 Republicans of the United States favors "such changes in the tariff from time to time as become advisable through the progress of our industries and their changing relations to the commerce of the world." There is no controversy among the advocates of protection on this point, and never was. No tariff, however carefully drawn, is designed to last forever. Changes brought about by invention, discovery, fashion, development and many other things make many schedules unsuitable in the lapse of time. Revision then becomes necessary. Every friend of protection wants revision in such cases. But we do not want revision to come too often. The tariff revision habit, like any other fad, can, when pushed to extremes, make its advocates ridiculous or mischievous. The present tariff, the Dingloy act, is only five years old. The tariff of 1883, passed by a Republican Congress, had many faults, which the Republicans saw at the time, but it stood seven years before they altered it by substituting the McKinley tariff, and the alterations at that time were incited chiefly by the necessity, or imagined necessity, of reducing the revenues so as to cut down the big surplus. No such a necessity confronts the country at this moment. Some Big Runs The feature of the past week at the sugar factory has been some record-breaking runs. The factory has been behaving in excellent manner and has been using beets at a rate never before equaled. On Tuesday night there were sliced 484 tons, breaking all previous records for twelve hours, and in the 24 hours ending Wednesday evening 902 tons were sliced, beating all former runs for that length of time. To secure these runs every piece of machinery and every man had to work right and work in harmony. They did it. Credit attaches to every man in the work, particularly to Fred Noble, who had responsible charge during the biggest run, and whose popularity with all the men shows results in the work accomplished. The work for the week has been: | Tons sliced | Per ct. sugar | Per ct. purity | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Friday | 603 | 16.2 | 81.9 | | Saturday | 555 | 15.9 | 80.8 | | Sunday | 373 | 15.5 | 80.6 | | Monday | 853 | 16.6 | 82.1 | | Tuesday | 898 | 16.8 | 82.0 | | Wednesday | 865 | 16.4 | 81.6 | The total sliced to yesterday morning was 10,990 tons. On Sunday the plant was shut down for a general clean-up. The harvest on the Chino ranch is being gradually increased. The crop here is showing a good sugar content and an especially good yield. The stand is generally from fair to perfect and the beats of good size. Many fields are yielding 18 to 20 tons per acre. On Tuesday 2735 sacks of sugar—273,500 pounds—were produced. About six carloads of sugar are being shipped each day. On Monday the employees were paid, and hereafter labor will be paid regularly on the 3d and the 18th of each month. Robert Oxnard was here Wednesday and went away highly gratified at the operation of the factory.—Champion. Stamp Rebates The deficit in the national treasury receipts, which is now more than $8,000,000, is likely to grow still larger in the near future, owing to the prospect that the government will have to make rebates on account of internal-revenue stamps amounting to several millions. When the stamp taxes were repealed The President on the Philippines Continued from First page for the introduction into the Philippines of representative government, with only the delay necessary to allow for the establishment of definite peace, for the taking of a census and the settling down of the country. In short, we are governing the Philippines primarily in their interest and for their very great benefit. And we have acted in practical fashion—not trying to lay down rules as to what should be done in the remote and uncertain future, but turning our attention to the instant need of thousands and meeting that need in the fullest and ample way. "It would be hard to say whether we owe most to our military or our civil representatives in the Philippines. The soldiers have shown splendid gallantry in the field and they have done no less admirable work in preparing the provinces for civil government. The civil authorities have shown the utmost wisdom in doing a very difficult and very important work of vast extent. It would be hard to find in modern times a better example of successful constructive statesmanship. Finally, in the Philippines, as in Cuba, the instances of wrong doing among either our civil or military representatives have been astonishingly few and punishment has been meted out with even-handed justice to all offenders. "Nor should it be forgotten that while we have thus acted in the interest of the islanders themselves we have also helped our own people. Our interests are about as great in the Pacific as in Atlantic. The welfare of California, Oregon and Washington is as vital to the nation as the welfare of New England, New York and South Atlantic states." "The awakening of the Orient means very much to all the nations of Christendom, commercially no less than politically—and it would be shortsighted statesmanship on our part to refuse to take the necessary steps for securing a proper share to our people of this commercial future. The possession of the Philippines has helped us, as they securing of the open door in China has helped us. Already the government has taken the necessary steps to provide for the laying of a Pacific cable under conditions which guard absolutely the interests of the American..." revision habit, like any other fad, can when pushed to extremes, make its advocates ridiculous or mischievous.

The monace of the Mill tariff of 1888, which was an attempt to carry out the Cleveland program outlined in the tariff message of 1887, beat Cleveland and his party in 1888 and put Harrison in office. The McKinley tariff of 1890 beat the Republican party in the canvass for Congress in that year—not because the changes were in the wrong direction or were especially harmful, but because they came only a short time before the election, and therefore did not have time to reveal themselves in actual operation, and because the opposition press misrepresented the effect which they would have. The Wilson-Gorman tariff of 1894—the "perfidy and dishonor" tariff, as Cleveland called it—was one of the things which overthrew the Democrats in the congressional elections of that year. Tariff fooling disturbs trade and angers the country. The Dingloy tariff may be revised by the Republicans, but the revision will not be done in the short session of the present Congress. It will not be done by the Congress which will be elected this year. The tariff will be revised if necessary, after the election of 1904 when the presidential canvass is off the country's hands, and when the work can be put through intelligently and expeditiously, without any partisan misrepresentation or any obstructive delay. An earlier revision would be dangerous to the party, as well as unnecessary for the country.—St. Louis Globe Democrat.

When the stamp taxes were repealed a year ago it was provided that persons who had bought stamps in large quantities, and therefore had a surplus stock on hand at the time the law was repealed could turn these stamps intothe treasury and receive in returnthe money that had been paid for them.The stamps were turned in by wagon loads,and for many months nearly every corridor inthe great treasury building has been crowded with wooden boxes containing millions of dollarsworth of returned stamps. The work of checking offthe accounts involved by these proposed rebates is almost as great as thatof recordinga bond issue,and it was only until recently thatthe treasury was readyto actually begin payingoutmoney for returned stamps.The Commissionerof Internal Revenue announces that rebates on tobacco stampswill be made within a few days.His bureau has had to consider a totalof about 49000 claims,and claims are still comingin atthe rateof 1000a day.Its expectedthe total numberof claimswill aggregate65000.

They are traveling in special cars, fitted up so that they are a traveling hospital on wheels. The invalids were formerly inmates of the company's hospital at Peru, Indiana, and their journey in search of health is purely a philanthropical undertaking by the Wabash. Every dollar of expense connected with the outing will be paid by the company, and if it results in making the employee able to return to their duties the management will consider its money well expended. Care will be taken in selecting the invalids to be sent to the Coast, and none will be taken who have in any way contributed to their condition by excesses of any kind. If the trip of the present band of invalids proves successful, it is the purpose of the company to take similar parties to California at least every year. In time, more than one trip a year may be made. Astonished the Editor Editor S. A. Brown of Bennettsville, S. C., was once immensely surprised.

The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO.

"Very few people outside the trade," said a loading wholesale dealer in handkerchiefs in New York to a reporter recently, "are aware that the consumption of handkerchiefs throughout the United States amounts to about 75,000 dozen daily. This means 27,375,000 dozen yearly, or $28,500,000 single handkerchiefs. To satisfy this enormous demand there are always kept in stock in this city at least 850,000,000 handkerchiefs. It would be extremely difficult to say what such a supply of goods is worth in the aggregate, as handkerchiefs sell at wholesale at anywhere from 80 cents to $40 per dozen, according to quality and finish. But the figures which I have given you are not exaggerated, and they throw a strong light on the gigantic dimensions of an important branch of the dry goods business. "A comparatively small number of handkerchiefs are manufactured in this country, and those that are made here are mostly of the cotton and inferior silk variety. The finest silk goods are imported principally from Japan, which country sends us annually between 17,-000,000 and 18,000,000 'Japanese ponges.' The best cambric article comes from France and Belgium, and linen handkerchiefs come from the north of Ireland and also from St. Gall, Switzerland. Japanese silk handkerchiefs are worth from $8 to $40 per dozen, while the imported cambrics from Brussels sell for from $5 to $7 a dozen, and the cotton product manufactured in Pennsylvania and New Jersey may be had for 80 cents per dozen. "The capital invested in this business is immense. It may possibly amount to $100,000,000, but owing to the fact that the trade is distributed nothing like accurate figures can be given. There are six or seven firms in the dry goods district which deal exclusively in handkerchiefs. But only two of these houses handle the domestic article extensively. Most of the large American factories are located outside of the city, but New York, as in several other branches of the dry goods business, is the great distributing center for the trade."—Washington Star.

Four or five weeks the freshmen exercise in gymnasium. Once a week the freshmen hear a lecture on personal hygiene—on how to make the most of their selves physically. The gymnasium work begins with setting-up exercises, such as used at West Point and in the United States army. Then comes work in dumb-bells, bar-bells, Indian chest weights and the parallel bars. Before actual work in the gymnasium is started, every freshman is cared examined by a physician his heart lungs tested and all malformations weaknesses noted. For such freshmen as have any organic weakness or physical lack, special exercises are carried out with developing apparatus so plan as to furnish means of overcoming remediable defect.

The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties: No. farms. Acres. Los Angeles: 6977 895,063 Orange: 2888 560,436 Riverside: 2340 427,097 San Bernardino: 2550 219,132 San Diego: 2698 809,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Countles: Acres. Los Angeles: 85,614 Orange: 41,549 Riverside: 32,947 San Bernardino: 37,877 San Diego: 16,022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7088; that of San Bernardino, 20,055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square smiles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. The Dentist's Opportunity. "I was particularly busy on last Tuesday," said the dentist. "My office was crowded all day, and one of the last patients to be attended to was a big, fat, middle aged woman.

Apparently the crowd in the office had impressed her deeply, for the first thing she said was: "Doctor, you vas doing a goot beesness." According to an account in The Journal d'Hygiene, rats have become so abundant in Brazil that a domestic snake, the giboya, which has about the circumference of the arm, is sold in the market place in Rio Janeiro, to be kept in the house as a protection against rodents. It would seem that the serpent pursues its prey more for the pleasure that there is in it than from a sense of hunger, since it is said it rarely eats the rats caught. Similar in its habits and attachments to the domestic cat out of our more northern latitudes, the giboya will, it is said, find its way back to the house of its master even if transported to a considerable distance. An Undesirable Dog. "What do you think of the dog?" asked the owner. The dog fancier merely glanced at him and then shook his head. "He might do pretty well in the country somewhere or pretty far out in the suburbs," he said, "but he isn't homely enough to ever bring much of a price among the dog owners of the fashionable world."—Chicago Post. His Poluter. An eminent judge, being asked how he could turn with such facility from one case to another, replied: "I learned that from what I saw at a colored baptism when I was a boy. The weather was very cold, so that to immerse it was necessary to cut away the ice. When one of the female candidates was dipped back in the water, the cold made her squirm so that she slipped from the minister's hands and went down the stream under the ice. Looking up with perfect calmness at the throng on the bank, the minister said: "Brethren, this sister hath departed. Hand me down another."—Brooklyn Citizen. A WOMAN'S RISK As a trapzee performier is greater than a man's. She must have a man's courage and a man's muscle to succeed. But she must also work under conditions of which a man knows nothing. Many an accident to women acrobats must be attributed to the sudden weakness to which all women are subject at certain times. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription heals the womanly diseases which cause weakness. It establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. It makes weak women strong and sick women. Most people think that the D stationary if not a retrograde but in one respect at least ahead of most European nations... The Dentist's Opportunity. "I was particularly busy on last Tuesday," said the dentist. "My office was crowded all day, and one of the last patients to be attended to was a big, fat, middle aged woman.

Apparently the crowd in the office had impressed her deeply, for the first thing she said was: "Doctor, you vas doing a goot beesness." "Yes,' I said, 'I keep pretty busy.' 'My, but you must be maiging a big lot of money! Say, doctor, vas you a single man?' "This is getting rather interesting, but the question was fired point blank, at short range, and I felt that I had to answer, so I admitted that such was the case. By this time she had hoisted herself into the chair, and she gave me a look that—well, you remember the picture entitled 'The Amorous Hippopotamus?'" "Say, doctor,' she said, 'und I vas a single woman!'" —New York Sun. An Ingenious Romeo. The parents of a Bethany (Mo.) girl objected to her suitor and to keep her from running away locked her in her room. Her "dearly beloved" was not to be outwitted, and remembering, that she had a few weeks before taken a scarfpin or ring belonging to him, he had a warrant issued for her arrest and sent the officer to serve the paper. While the officer was taking her to town the lover met her on the road and, having all preparations made, went on her bond and drove with her immediately to the preacher's house, where they were made one. —Exchange. This Terrapin Has a Diamond Back. A "genuine diamond back terrapin," as it is termed, is displayed in the show window of a jeweler on South Cay street. The terrapin is small in size, but disports on its back 13 large diamonds, valued at $2,500. The largest diamond, a 4½ carat stone, is in the center of the back, and from it radiate four rows of diamonds, three diamonds being in each row. A silver bowl in which the terrapin is placed prevents it wandering away. The jeweler says jewels thus set are worn by the women in Paris. —Baltimore Sun. The Whole Story in one letter about Pain-Killer (PERRY DAVIS') From Capt. F. Loye, Police Station No. 5, Montreal: —"We frequently use PERRY DAVIS' PAINT-KILLER for pains in the stomach, rheumatism, stiffness, frost bites, chilblain, cramps, and all afflictions which befall men in our position. I have no hesitation in saying that PAIN-KILLER is the best remedy to have near at hand." Used Internally and Externally. Two Sizes, 25c. and 50c bottles. The Advance of Dutchwoman Most people think that the Dr. stationary if not a retrograde but in one respect at least abode of most European nations little monarchy, which has a good head, women during the years have made greater progress perhaps any other nation in Next year, in token of this Dutch women will hold a work at The Hague, which is to be solely to the exhibition of works activities and industries. Side with this progress of women there has been an advance in the field. This year, says The tarian, the government has law conferring almost an equal upon women and making them to nearly all municipal offices. Land women have learned the art of co-operation and organization instead of being divided against selves as in other countries they are winning all along the The Dear Chica.

The Woman in Peril Rarely Finds Help From Her Own Sex. It is in no wise to a woman's discredit that she is not a professional life-saver. We can only fancy her in the fireman's helmet, in the crew of the life-boat, or wielding a policeman's club, at the loss of some of that fineness which is the distinguishing quality of her sex. The Molly Pitchers and Grace Darlings are only examples of the sublime self-forgetfulness of women in great emergencies. It's much the same in other ways. Women turn to the strength, skill and judgment of men in the crises of life. There are few women for whom no perfect cure is possible. The number of such women has been reduced to a minimum by the practical experience of Dr. Pierce. Of the hundreds of thousands of women who have appealed to Dr. Pierce for counsel in connection with his "Favorite Prescription," only two in every hundred have failed of a perfect and permanent cure. But even this two per cent. of incurables have gratefully recorded a great improvement in their condition; relief from pain and a restoration to family enjoyments. No sick woman should be discouraged by her condition, no matter how long standing her aliment may be, or how utterly all other means and medicines have failed to cure. The greater number of cures effected by "Favorite Prescription" are cures of chronic and complicated diseases which have baffled the skill of local physicians and proved intractable to all other treatment. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. It establishes regularity, dries disagreeable and weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. It is the greatest preparative for maternity, giving womanly health and strength and making baby's advent practically painless. A ORGAN FREE OFFER. Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspondence is held in sacred confidence, and womanly confidences are guarded by strict professional privacy. Address Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y. There is no similar offer of free consultation by letter or free medical advice, which has behind it an institution such as the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y., to which for over thirty years Dr. Pierce has been chief WAR CORRESPONDENTS. They a Dutiment to the General Commanding an Army? Everything in a campaign depends on the general in command, upon his necessity, resourcefulness and rapidity. He may be a man who discloses correspondents, a dislike they are to return, and he feels therefore if he were perpetually watched in gravest crises by personal enemies, feeling which would have been fatal Marborough or Eugene of Savoy, the commanders most remarkable for invobable sang froid. Everybody is born with the advertising spirit, and there are insects which under a ning glass feel torture instead of enjoyment of warmth which the operator maintains they ought to feel. Again the condition of a general like Underick the Great, whose main business during three years of his campaign life was to repair defeat, with 50 correspondents" in his camp reporting every disaster, every preparation and every execution of the incompetent or unruly. It would be maddenning to such a general to know that the distribution of fame or fame did not depend upon himself, but would be taken out of his hands by writers not under his command, who would declare that an attack that on Speicheren, which almost lost an army corps, was "superb" because it succeeded, or that the perhaps general in the army was habitual at a little late in issuing his commands. We do most seriously believe that there officers of the highest merit in the British army from whom the country will never obtain the best service they capable of performing because of the multitude of reporters in the camps. That is a thought which those who are responsible for armies are bound to understand, and, knowing as they do its truth, we do not wonder that they doubt whether to interest the readers of newspapers is an advantage sufficient outweigh so many risks.—London poetator.

Hundreds of thousands of women have appealed to Dr. Pierce, for relief from womanly illness and not one has appealed in vain. The use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription supplemented by the medical advice of Dr. Pierce has been the means of cure to this vast army of women suffering from diseases peculiar to the sex. "I wish to tell you the benefit I received from using your remedies," writes Mrs. Alice Soncrant, of 261 W. Harrison Street, Chicago, Ills. "Two years ago I was taken with a severe pain in the left ovary and side. Tried several different remedies, but nothing helped me. I got so bad I could scarcely walk across the floor-or do work of any kind. One day an old neighbor lady came in to see me, and told me to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. She said she knew it would help me, as it had saved her life. When the doctors had given her up and said they could do nothing, for her she said she began to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and it cured her. So I got a bottle of the 'Favorite Prescription' and one of 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and began taking them. Before I had taken one bottle of each I was so much better I could do all my own work, and that is a good deal, as I am the mother of four small children. Three bottles of the 'Favorite Prescription' and one of 'Golden Medical Discovery' cured me. I have not been sick since then. I think Mrs. Cowden Clarke, who recently died in England, was fond of telling how her Latin teacher Mary Lambella's sister, entertained her, with a fellow pupil, at dinner. When the little party was seated at the table, the teacher said: "Now, remember, we all pick our bones. It isn't considered vulgar here to pick bones." The New Jersey state board of taxation has decided that property belonging to the W.C.T.U. is not exempt from taxation, as the unions do not come under the head of religious or charitable institutions. The Cost of a Boy. The following good recitation for a boy was found in the Chicago Advance: It does not take as much money to live in the country, or in a small town, as it does to live in the city. I read the other day that it cost $5,000 to bring up a city boy and educate him and dress him well. I said to myself: "That is because everything in the city has to be bought and living is high." But I began to study the thing, and I found out that even a country boy cost his parents a good deal. When you count what a boy eats and what he wears, and the schoolbooks he has to have, and the doctor bills that have to be paid when he gets the measles or the scarlet fever, he will cost his folks at least $100 a year. I guess if a boy is pretty bad to smash things or to kick his shoes right he costs more than that. So when I am 21 and old enough to do for myself I shall have cost father more than $2,000. Society Editors Instruct Youths as to Their Uses. The society editor was humming a line that ran something like this: "Oh, the queer things we do and the queer things we say." "What are some of them?" demanded the man who does a little of everything. "Well," replied the society editor, "today a young man came in to get a society item in the paper. It was about a theater party or something of that sort, and he had it all nicely written out, and down at the bottom of the page was the statement that the party would be chaperoned by Miss Blank." "Well?" said the man who does a little of everything, but who is nevertheless not posted on society matters. "Well," explained the society editor, "of course there is no law, written or unwritten; that says a party of young people may not be chaperoned by an unmarried woman, although it is not usual, for she is supposed under such circumstances to be of mature age and considerable experience." "This Miss Blank is not a young lady," I suggested, and he was angry in a minute. "Who says she isn't? he demanded. Then he added, 'I happen to know that she is just 19 years old.'" "She can't very well chaperon the party, then," I said. "Who says she can't? he demanded again." She's just as good as any of the swells on the Lake Shore drive, and don't you forget it." "I explained to him very carefully that a chaperon should be a matron or will never obtain the best service they are capable of performing because of the multitude of reporters in the camps. What is a thought which those who are responsible for armies are bound to wonder, and, knowing as they do its death, we do not wonder that they doubt whether to interest the readers of newspapers is an advantage sufficient outweigh so many risks.—London spectator. The Advance of Dutchwomen. Most people think that the Dutch are stationary if not a retrograde people, but in one respect at least they are ahead of most European nations. In the little monarchy, which has a queen for its head, women during the last ten years have made greater progress than perhaps any other nation in Europe. Next year, in token of this progress, Dutch women will hold a world's fair. The Hague, which is to be devoted solely to the exhibition of women's activities and industries. Side by side with this progress of women's work there has been an advance in the political field. This year, says The Humanitarian, the government has passed a new conferring almost an equal suffrage upon women and making them eligible to nearly all municipal offices. In Holland women have learned the advantage of co-operation and organization, and instead of being divided against themselves as in other countries they have worked together, with a result that they are winning all along the line. The Dear Chieftain. Little Tommie—Sister Lillian likes to have you come here. Mr. Simperling—Aw, indeed! How do you know that? Little Tommie—Well, people always like what makes them glad, don't they?

The girls are all set on doing the thing right and proper, and we boys have undertaken to see it through. Maybe Miss Jones would do for a chaperon. She's 23 years old.' Hardly,' I replied. 'If you feel that you must have a chaperon, the thing for you to do is to invite some matron to accompany you.' Well, I guess not,' he answered, with emphasis. 'Why, that would spoil half the fun, and besides we'd have to put up for her ticket. If one of the girls can't be the chaperon, you can just cross that part of it out.'' Then the society editor again began to hum: "Oh, the queer things we say and the queer things we do."—Chicago Post. To See the Castanion. An Austrian inventor claims to have invented an electrical apparatus by the use of which a person may sit in a dark room and look at a scene in another part of the town, regardless of corners, intervening buildings or any other obstructions. It is claimed that the instrument operates similarly to the telephone. Scientists explain the transmission of sound over telephone wires by the theory of sound waves. The inventor of the new instrument, which is called a "fernseher," claims that his appliance transmits light waves just as the sound waves are carried over the wire by electricity. If the new invention proves to be a success, it may be possible for a person in the heart of the United States to see something that is happening on the opposite side of the world.
