He who ti a glutten for pral«e will
be a gudgeon for secret laughter.
A rich and truthful saying Is an tm
perishable clinker In the ash heap of
humanity.
You never hear of a womnn over 80
Insisting on saying merely that she Is
of legal age.
Oh, the pity of it! The smart
young man often lacks Judgment and
comes to grief.
Tyranny, barbarity, nnarchy and
4eath are the milestones in the high-
way of despotism.
Great Britain formerly lived with-
out railroads, but it would hate to
have to do so again.
A Russian aristocrat at whom no
bombs are thrown must feel that be
t> completely out of the swim.
The latest thing captured by Ral
•ull Is the town of Mogador. Some day
this man will capture something
worth having.
The arch, say the builders, la the
strongest thing known. This may be
the reason these are so many bow-
legged football players.
They're going to put a clock in the
Eiffel tower. It will serve as a sym-
bol of Paris, which has always been
known aa the city for a high old
time.
A French scientist declares that au-
tomobiles are the enemies of astron-
omy, and yet people who have been
•truck by them say they saw all sorts
of stars.
Queer people naturally drift into
the theatrical business, but the
strangest freak of all is the manager
who insists that his chorus girls must
all be able to sing.
Remembering the fate of Pompeii
and viewing that of Karatagh, now an-
nihllatetd by a volcano silent since
prehistoric times, the farmer's wise
maxim, "Never trust the bull," might
with profit be paraphrased Into never
trust the extinct volcano. Once a vol-
cano, always a volcano.
• After "psycopathic" experts at Belle-
▼ue find that a prominent person is
"not Insane, but hysterical," it may
surprise some to learn that the prom!
nent person is not a woman. Instead
of being confined to one sex, hysterics
attacks both with equal ease when
they have prepared themselves for It,
*nd It Is usually worst when its worst
symptoms are most masculine.
Mechanical traction has been sub-
stituted for horses on the Ladoga
canal In Russia. When the traction
engineers appeared 2,000 peasants
seized them and stopped all traffic so
effectually that troops had to be called
out to restore order. There were riots
of this sort in England 100 years ago
when power sawmills were Introduced
there, but In the more advanced coun-
tries the laborer and the mechanic
now adjust themselves quickly to new
Inventions, says the Youth's Compan-
ion. Russia Is about 100 year* behind
the times.
Everything is not going to smash,
snd there still are such things as
wealth and great-heartdd philanthropy.
The will of a Philadelphlan who died
suddenly last week sets aside |5,000.-
000 tor the establishment and main
tenance of an institution for orphan
girls modeled after the famous Girard
college, the advantages of which are
confined strictly to boys and young
men. Girard college has done incal
culable good in fitting youths to make
their way in the world, and as much
can be^iccompll6hed for girls through
employing similar means.

HIS TURN TO CRITICISE.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE NEW STATE.
Mr. Edison's monolithic house, to
cost but J 1,000, to contain 11 rooms
and to require but -15 days for the
building, is an invention that will revo-
lutionize architectural methods so far
as the building of small homes Is con
earned. if the promises are fulfilled
But does Mr. Edison know that many
concrete houses are being constructed
now, though not in the cast-Iron mold
which is the distinctive feature of his
scheme, and at no such moderate
price? There is reason to fear that
>Pr. Kdlson can not Insure the fl.OOO
rate.
The mysterious earthquake recorded
some weeks ago. which could not be
located, has found a startling solution.
That a mountain should fall, burying
hundreds and wiping out an entire
population, bears gruesome testimony
to the truth of the Instruments which
recorded a disaster as great if not
greater than the one which over-
whelmed San Francisco. Other dis-
asters are dwarfed into Insignificance
beside this appalling record of th«
work of nature, which all the prudence
and resources of man can neither fore-
see nor rrevcrr
The fearless s - : jack who climbs

Youngster Felt Called on to Manifest
Disapproval of Prayer.
Little John, who, at the mature age
of four, has learned the Lord's Prayer,
Is often criticised by his sister, two
years older, for slight mistakes which
he cannot always avoid in offering the
petition. A few Sundays ago he was
taken to church for the first time.
When the moment for the prayer ar-
rived and the congregation bowed
their heads John's mother took the
precaution to whisper to him that he
must be very quiet. '"Listen," she
said, "and you will hear the minister
pray." This interested John at once,
and his little face took on a look of
serious attention, but his mother,
watching him covertly, saw his ex-
pression change presently to one of
surprise and disapproval. A few min-
utes more, and he could stand it no
longer. What could this man be say-
ing? Not a word of the prayer did
he recognize as the only formula he
had ever heard called by that name.
"Why, mother," he exclaimed, in a
tone audible over nearly half the
church, "do you hear? lie isn't say-
ing it right at all'"
SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO. INDICTED.
Charged with Using Mails to De
fraud and In Misrepresenting
Articles So!d.
Des Moines, la.— (Special)—Sears,
Roebuck & Co. of Chicago have been
charged with usins the mails to de-
fraud. The indictment is on three
counts. It is alleged that the com
pany misrepresented articles In its
catalogues sent through the mails.
The first count charges that on June
13. 1907, the company devised a
scheme to obtain money by false pre-
tenses from Dr. C. F. Spring of Des
Moines by selling him white lead that
Sears-Koebuck claim to have made
The Indictm.rit ajlaios it was made
by others. A second count is on a
rins bought by R. H. Miles, and
the third count is the sending of an
other ring, alleged to have been mis-
represented, through the mails.
The Worst Was Yet to Come.
A southern pulpit orator, one Sun-
day morning, was describing the ex-
perience of the prodigal son. In his
endeavor to impress his hearers with
the shame and remorse that this
young man felt and his desire to cast
away his wicked doings, he spoke
thus:
"Dis young man got to thinking
about hit meanness and his misery,
and he tuk off his coat and frowed it
away. And den he tuk off his vest
and frowed dat away. And den he tuk
off his shirt and frowed dat away too.
Aud den he come to hisself."
Sheer white goods, ^ fact, any One
vash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau-
ty. Home laundering would be equal-
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
anpioved appearance of your work.

being groomed by his friends as a
running mate on the presidential
ticket with William J. Bryan next

form and is now preparing his lect-
ure, "The Five Civilized Tribes," for

ever, Mr. Murray will not make his

Qurrrel Ends In Killing. — Robert
Evans was shot and filled at Cook-

that Attorney General West and a'i
county and city officers be enjoined
from interfering with the business
conducted by the petitioners. In a
letter written to one of his assist-
ants there Attorney General West de-
clares that he will not allow himself
to he diverted by any prohibition agi-
tation from his campaign against un-
lawful combinations and conspiracy
in restraint of trade. He expresses
the bel!ef that much of the prohibi
tion agitation is a covert attempt of
corporate interests to "build a fire in
the rear ' in order to detract his
efforts away from enforcing the liw
against corporate interests. He
avows the intention of leaving the
enforcement of prohibition entirelv
to the local officials for the present
at least.

MEAN FLINGS AT EDITORS.
Tributes by Lafcadlo Hearn to Class
of Workers He Disliked.
"Lafcadio Hearn, that wonderfu.
writer, worked on newspapers In his
youth," said a publisher, "and the
ruthless way his studies were changed,
cut and butchered was a great woe
to his heacL
"in after years Ilearn took a mali-
cious joy in collecting stories about
editors—editors and their superior
and omniscient way with manuscript.
"One of his stories was of an editor
to whom a subscriber said:
" '1 enjoyed that poem on the three
ages of man in to-day's paper, Mr.
Sheers; I enjoyed it immensely. Do
you know, though, I thought it was
originally written the seven ages of
man?'
"'So it was, sir; so it was,' said
Editor Sheers, pompously. 'Yes, the
extract was originally written the
seven ages of man, but I had to cut it
down for the lack of space.' •
"Another story concerned a weather
report. A reporter, discussing the
weather, wrote that winter still lin-
gered in the lap of spring.
"The editor, as he read over the
article, called the reporter to his desk
and told him that he would cut out
that sentence about winter lingering
In spring's lap. He said the idea was
good enough, and all that sort of
thing, but it would not do to publish
because the high moral tone of the
paper had to be maintained in a town
full of school girls."
SORES AS BIG AS PENNIES.
Whole Head and Neck Covered—Hair
All Came Out—Cured in Three
Weeks by Cuticura.
"After having the measles my whole
head and neck were covered with scaly
sores about as large as a penny. They
were just as thick as they could be.
My hair all came out. I let the trou-
ble run along, taking the doctor's blood
remedies and rubbing on salve, but it
did not seem to get any better. It
stayed that way for about six months;
then I got a set of the Cuticura Reme-
dies. and in about a week I noticed a
big difference, and in three weeks it
was well entirely and I have not had
the trouble any more, and«as this was
seven years ago, I consider myself
cured. Mrs. Henry Porter, Albion,
Neb., Aug. 25, 1906."
The
General Demand
of the Well-informed of tho World ha
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com-
ponent parts are known to them to ba
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, ye*
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs andt
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relie
on the merits of the laxative for its remark-
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine—manufactured by tha Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sal*
by all leading druggists. Price fifty centa
per bottle.
Not All There.
Bleeker—Your wife seems to have
a mind of her own.
Meeker—She did have before our
marriage, but she hasn't any more.
Bleeker—What's the answer?
Meeker—She has given me several
pieces of it since we faced the parson
together.
The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great im-
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stitfener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new.
Nobody docs anything well that hi
cannot help doing; work is only done
well when it is done with a will—
