Don't Be Irritable
"An irritable skin makes an irri-
table person, and an irritable per-
son gathers much unto himself or
herself, as the case may be. Moral:
Use Hunt's Cure, one box of which
is absolutely atid unqualifiedly guar-
anteed to cure any form of skin
trouble. Any kind of itching known
is relieved at once and one boj
cures."

Slim Reward Given to Boy by Owner
of Lo«t Fortune.
The story of a poor man finding a
bag full of money and jewels at At-
lantic City and being rewarded with
20 cents will be read with interest in
a household in this city, where a sim-
ilar case is well remembered, says the
New York Tribune. It took place iu
a city in the western part of this state
early in the civil war. The head of
the family, then a boy 13 years old,
found a large parcel wrapped in a
newspaper, which contained a fortune
in greenbacks. The owner was dis-
covered, and when the boy handed the
package to him he patted the little
fellow on the head, called him a good
boy and gave him two 25-cent shin-
plasters. These specimens of war-
time money were mounted on a card
and under them these words were
written by the boy's father:
KEEP THESE-THE MAN WHO
GAVE TH KM WILL NEED THEM
SOME DAY
The souvenir hangs in the "boy's"
library, and his grandson has often
heard its history.
INTERESTED IN WEATHER LORE.
University Students Taking Up the
Science of Meteorology.
A steady increase of interest in
meteorological education is manifest
throughout the country, as, in fact,
throughout other civilized nations. In
general, instruction in meteorology is
considered as a part of the courses in
geology, geography or physical geogra-
phy; but in two universities. George
Washington and Cornell, courses have
been offered in the higher mathe-
matics and physics that constitute the
fundamental basis of meteorology.
During 1900 there were 14 uni-
versities, colleges and scientific
schools in which regular courses of
instructions were given by weather
bureau officials, and In five or six
more the matter was in abeyance.
Also there were at least 40 officials
besides those conducting the above-
mentioned courses who gave occa-
sional lectures or addresses.
Captain Pots on His Red Necktie.
No matter how small the vessel nor
how impecunious may be the skipper,
there is always a "boiled'1 shirt and a
clean collar laid carefully away to be
worn when the craft enters port. At
sea the captain may be very rough in
his attire, but the approach of land
finds him combing his hair and crop-
ping his whiskers, if he has any, and
the collar Is donned, also a red neck-
tie, which usually is flamboyant red.
Even the poorest men who bring
vessels to Boston to secure loads of
lumber for South American ports dress
as neatly as possible when the cus-
toms boarding officer is expected to
come alongside to inspect the ship's
papers.
And the mates slick up too when
their floating home is nearing port, so
that the "old man," as the captain is
familiarly termed behind his back,
may not carry off all the honors of the
occasion.
The Next Duty.
"What is my next duty? What Is
the thing that lies nearest to me?"
"That belongs to your everyday his-
tory. No one can answer that ques-
tion but yourself. Your next duty is
just to determine what your next duty
is. Is there nothing you neglect? Is
there nothing you know you ought not
to do? You would know your duty, if
you thought in earnest about it, and
were not ambitious of great things."
"Ah, then," responded she, "I sup-
pose it is something very common-
place, which will make life more
dreary than ever. That cannot help
me."
"It will, If it be ns dreary a-, reading
tho newspapers to an old deaf aunt.
It will soon lead you to something
more. Your duty will 1- rin to com-

"SACKCLOTH
AND ASHES"
American Special.
New York, Mar. 4.—Today, Ash
Wednesday, marks the beginning of
the Lenten season, the so-called sea-
son of "sackcloth and ashes." In re-
cent yars New York society has
oome to observe Lent more in the
spirit than in practice. True, there
will be no large dances during the
next forty days, and daily services
will be held in all the churches. But
in reality it is merely the more con-
spicuous soc'al functions that socie-
ty gives up during Lent. The opera
and theatre will continue to attract
their usual throngs and there will be
no end of dinners, luncheons, mus-
icals aiv.1 bridge tournaments to help
society while away the penitential'points of
Taft on Suffrage '
Secretary Taft, during his recent
visit tu Denver, was fnterviewed by j
n reporter of the Denver Times on a !
number of subjects. The Interview'
appears in the Times of Aug. 29.
"What have you to say about wo-
man suffrage?" the Sec re a ry of War
was asked.
Once more the expansive smile
played blandly over the broad coun-
tenance. "Do you know," he said, "I
wrote an oration on that subject
when I was 16 years old, at the time!
1 graduated from the high school. I
spent much thought out t at that 1
time, and thought I had the question j
all solvetd. Since then I have not I
paid much attention to the subject. I
"Really, however"—and the secre-
tary 'became serious again—"I think
we are coming to woman suffrage. It
is not a burning issue at this time,
and the change may not come all at
one?. You see, there are many
season. Week end parties at coun-
try places in New Jersey and Long Is-
land and along the Hudson afford
another favorite recreation of socie-
ty during the Lenten period.
South America's ('cutury
Now that the reaction from the un-
natural conditions engendered by
time hundreU years of Spanish op-
pression has set in, South America
seems dest ined to accomplish in the
twentieth century what North Ameri-
ca did in the nineteenth. With the
beginning of the new century an era
of development dawned which has
been gathering volume and momen-
tum with the swiftness of a snow-
ball rolling down hill. So writes C.
P. Carter in the Technical World
Magazine for March.
The fifty million people south of
the Panama canal all seem to have
realized at last that they possessed
the greatest storehouse of natural re-
sources remaining unexploited on
earth. With one accord they set about
developing their inheritance; and
finding the tack beyond their means,
invited the world's spare capital and
population to come and help. The
enthusiasm with which the invitation
was accepted has resulted in a splen-
did chapter of achievements which,
in turn, have inspired plans for the
future
comprehensive.
The foreign trade of the con1 nent
which grew from $1,200,000,000 in
1905 to $1,500,000,00 in 1907, af-
foilis an incation of the pace progress
has set, but it doesn't tell the whole
story by any mrans. Within the next
decade 'two billion dollars will be in-
vested in railroads to 1 ring the pro-
ducts of South America to wharves
aad docks—not the flimsy pile and
timber affairs familiar in the United
States, but solid stone siructures
planned to endure until the enj of
time—which are being built at a cost
of many millions more. Farms,
mines and forests are being opened
up and every effort is being made to
foster manufacturing industries by
means of subsidies and tariffs. Wat-
erfalls, so abundant everywhere, are
being harnessed to furnish cheap
light and power and unwholesome old
cities are being razej 1n order that
they may be rebuilt according to the
most advanced ideas in sanitary en-
gineering.
Following ilhis Introduction, the
wonderful development of South
America, really little known to most
of us, vividly pictured by Mr. Carter
and the photographs accompanying
li article give a remarkably clear
and comprehensive idea of this new-
opposition to be met.
Among the women 'themselves there
are some openly hostile to the suff-
rage ai.id others are indifferent.
"It seems queer to a man from the
East to come to Colorado or Wyo-
ming and speak at a political meet-
ing where women are present as vot-
ers. In the East, women sometimes
attend political meetings, but are
looked upon as ornaments rather
than as useful adjuncts to the pro-
ceedings."

Primarily, 1 may say that the pub-
lic idoesn't know what it wants, for
it has no Individuality, and it creates
noithing, and 'that it is mot by any
means competent to judge as to what
is best for it. I don't mean by this
that I of necessity hold tte views
that, 1 am best fitted to judge for it,
or rather that 1 care to be known as
holding such views, but 1 think all
thinking mm will agree with me in
this: that however much culture a
man may have as an individual, when
he b. comes one of a crowd, be of ne-
cessity lowers himself, and returns
unconsciously .to the primal instincts.
There is roo unanimous public
voice that arises an'd Bays, "We are
tired of this maudlin drama; we do
not consider what has been offered
tiie'best that can be done; we do not
care for the trite piffle thmt has been
fed to us; we demand more of the
big things, the big thoughts and the
big problems of life itself." Conse-
qu ntly, if we are to have dramatic
progression:, some one must set him-
self up for a time in spite of the criti-
c-sm of oth rs who are content to
follow the beaten paths, and branch
out in an eniJeavor to do something.
It may be argued 'that I am pre-
sumptions in my view and that I
have arrogated to myself t.'he right
to dictat - what the public wants. It
really does no: make awry material
difference to me what the public
thinks about that, or wliwt.tn r {
