Much of life’s friction is due to a
well oiled tongue.
A meek lover sometimes makes
a strenuous husband.
There isn’t much good in the
man who can see no good in others.
After a man has been in the gut
ter once and tries to reform there
are always a lot of mutts, coots
and boobs who want to kick him
back where he came from. All of
which should be an example for
young men that the bottom round
of the ladder is not a safe place to
stay forever.
BUSINFSS ACIIVIIY.
Reports continue conning into
V/ashington, New York, Chicago
and other leading centers, indicat
ing that there is a greater demand
for labor in nearly all lines, than
can be supplied. This is a degree
of prosperity that has been saldom
ly attained in this country. When
the conditions of affairs is such
that there are more jobs than there
are men to fill them, then we have
an assurance that prosperity is ac
tually present. The election of
Mr. Wilson seems to have had a
most beneficial effect on business
in all parts of the country.
THE PRESIDENT’S CABINET MAKING.
Rumors are busy picking out
members for President-elect Wil
son's official household. There
seems to be no doubt whatever but
that William J. Bryan can be Sec
r;tary of State, and therefore, the
Premier of the Wilson cabinet if he
so desires. A great many of Mr
Bryan’s friends are urging him to
accept this high position, and there
seems to be some ground for hope
that he will do so. Mr. Bryan is
probably best fitted for that posi
tion than any other man in Ameri
ca. He has twice traveled around
the world and has visited Central
and South American countries, and
has in other ways eminently quali
fied himself to deal with matters af
fecting our foreign relations. Fur
thermore. many critics of Mr. Bry
an have charged him with being a I
"dreamer" and theorist, and there
fore. an impractical man. By ac- j
cepting the office of Secretary of
State he would be in a position to
show that he is a statesman of a
very practical sort and one who can
do things.

Region That Supplied Solomon
With Jewels.
Welles of an Ancient Civilization on
the Edge of the Sahara, in West
Africa, Are Brought Back by
Dr. Leo Frobenius.
I Berlin.—“Ophir," the land of gold
[and precious stones of Qwf n Sheba
j of King Solomon’s time is believed to
have been discovered by Dr. !>>o Fro
j benius, the German explorer and
scholar, who has returned to Berlin
from a two years’ exploration trip in
West Africa. “Ophir," accordhig to
Doctor Frobenius, is. or rather, was,
not located in Rhodesia In South
Africa, where explorers heretofore
have placed it, but in West Africa at
the lower edge of the Sahara desert
and in the vicinity of the Niger river.
As proof of his belief that he, lias dis
covered the land from which King
Solomon obtained the vast amount of
gold and jewels for his palaces for
| himself and his 500 wives, the German
explorer brought 300 boxes Oiled with
ceramics, bronzes, articles of gold
and silver, all of which he dng from
ruins of cities whose history is lost
In the maze of time.
Doctor Frobenius says his explora
tions and his many “finds” show' that
the country and Its people at one time
enjoyed the very highest degree of
civilization of its ’ time. Bronzes,
ceramics and utensils show that a
high degree of art and skill abounded.
The country, said Doctor Frobenius.
is exceedingly rich in gold and other
valuable minerals. The natives,
tribes of negroes, have made no at
tempt to mine, said the explorer, be
cause of their religion, which forbids
it, but fond as they are of gold orna
ments, have been deterred by the su
perstitious fear of “evil spirits" of an
cient times, whieji they believe guard
the treasures. Doctor Frobenius is
now engaged In giving the details oi
his discoveries in a book which he is
writing.
WELL KNOWN FIRE DOG DIES
Rex Was a Bulldog and a Hero of the
Department—Is Buried With
Honor.
Now York.—Rex, fireman, life snvet
and mb faithful to duty as any member
of the department, was crushed t<
death recently while answering ar
alarm from the quarters of engim
company No. 17.
Rex was only a dog and he was n<
pretty dog, eirher. He was a bull, with
heavy jowls and legs which spokt
strength and not beauty, but for four
years he had guarded the flrehous<
night and day w'hen ho was not nr
duty at some blaze or sniffing about
in search of fire.
There is a new horse on duty in No
17 house. He is a big roan, fractious
and difficult to handle. The alarm
sounded. The roan took his place b>
his mate and dashed out of the house
The driver managed him with diffi
culty, but Rex ran along beside him
barking when time came to turn coi
n«rs and endeavoring to show the new
horse the way to answer an alarm.
Suddenly there came a corner tt
turn. The roan was slow in answer
ing to the reins. Then he hurled his
body to one side, dragging the engim
after hint, and the wheels of the
heavy vehicle passed over the body ol
the faithful dog.
The firemen buried Rex with all the
honors due a he ro.
TO ABOLISH STRAIT-JACKETS
California Prison Warden Also Indl
cates Light Will Be Put
Into the Celis.
Baeramento, Cal.—“The strait-jacket
! will be abolished, though the unruly
| will be punished,” announced Jainet
j A. Johnston, the new warden of Fo!
i som prison. His advent into office
j was greeted with a riotous demonstra
i tion by about 400 of the 1,200 con
victs. When Warden Johnston was
making an insiM»-tion of the prison
yards he received word that “Jake’
Oppenheimer, twice a murderer
wished to speak to him and stipulat
ed that the conversation should
be held in his cell, "with the doot
closed.” Without hesitation the new
warden entered the cell.
“Do you see anything?” Oppen
heimer asked.
The warden’s eves tried to penetrate
the gloom.
“No. Jake,” he said, “I don't see any
thing.”
“Well," the convict cried, “that's why
I wanted you here. When they close
the doors on us fellows in the con
demned ceils we’re in the dark. Is
that a square deal?”
The warden told him that when hi?
reform plans went into effect the con
demned men would not be overlooked
Calls Patrons “Cheap Skates.”
Chicago.—George A. Dortmund, who
bought a five-cent theater and failed

a business—that theater. Loss $1,100.
You cheap skates."

Her Feelings
V
"I've made a new resolution," said
the bookkeeper, bitterly, as he added
a column of figures for the sixth time
and prepared to add it a seventh
time, all unconsciously. ”1 have re
solved never to feel sorry for any
thing I do or say! Repentance and
contrition and such things are good
in theory, but they don't got you any
thing!"
"You may imagine that you're weep
'ns cn my shoulder,” said the little
stenographer, comfortably. "Go on
and tell me about it.”
"It was last Sunday,” begun the
bookkeeper, slamming the ledger shut
and tearing with vicious force his
trial balance sheet "My sister had
invited a young woman friend of hers
from the country to her house for the
week end and she asked me to help
her out. Of course, 1 could tell from
the way my sister talked that tills
friend of hers was no prize article,
and as Sunday comes only once a
week I hated like fury to give it up
to charity. Hut I' did."
“How charitable!" murmured the
little stenographer.
The bookkeeper went on: “Well, it
developed that this country person
not only was not good to look at, but
her feelings were as sensitive as—as
all get out! We started right in Sat
urday night, she and I. falling out and
making up again Honestly, 1 didn't
open my mouth but that I had to tell
her the next minute that I was sorry.
You can imagine that I learned to
keep pretty mum.
"My sister and her visitor kept 'on
talking, though, and then we played
cards for a while, and, aside from our
os ng every game—for our country
puest was my partner, of course, and
my sister played with my kid broth
er—and my having to bear the brunt
of every wrong > lay and to insist that
1 hadn’t meant to offend her and that
I never dreamed of intimating that
he didn't know the game—though
die hardly knew a jack from a queen
tiie evening passed off pretty well
"She looked at me very coyly, how
-ver, when she said good night, and
he said that she hoped I wasn't of
fended with her and that she knew
her feelings were easily hurt, and as
she never liked to go to bed without
every one being forgiven and forgiv
ing. she wanted to make sure that
we were good friends.
Of course. I had to assure her
that everything was ail right between
us. And. oh! the relief I felt when I
finally got my door closed and could
'hlnk of eight good hours alone, with
out a feeling to hurt and with not a
pardon to beg!
"Well. In the morning we got ready
for church. We ate breakfast In
fairly good temper v and almost at
oeace. However, this visitor nearly
cried when I teased her about soli
ng ancient eggs to the city people—
er father's a farmer—so 1 deckled
that my jokes were misplaced and
pretty bad, anyway. So I adopted the
policy of silence.
“1 didn’t say a word to her all the
wa> to church. My sister walked
back of us with the rest of the fam
ily. so the visitor and I had the ad
vanee guard all to ourselves.
"1 was worried, too. on account of
-well, you know, Miss Bruce some
'lines
“Oh. well, anyway, the v'sitor and 1
vere getting on famously, as I
bought, when I suddenly heard a lit
tle sob
‘There I was. on Sunday morning,
bound for church and passing every
one I knew and in danger of running
nto Miss Bruce at any minute—and
with a sobbing young woman on my
hands! I should have cut and run—
'mt I was sorry for her I'm sorry
or ail weak-minded people, women
'Specinllv.
‘I had to tweak mv resolution
bout talking to her, so I asked.
What’s the matter?' as soothingly as
I could
“My question must have been more
soothing than I had intended, for she
■rubbed me by the arm and she'd
have fallen into rny toons if 1 hadn't
held her
“'Oli!' she exclaimed. ‘You're an
gry with-me! How can I go to church
with some one angry with me?'
“And there, right out loud, as if I
had been accusing her of all sorts of
■kings, she begged me to forgive her!
“Say. it was the limit! 1 tried to
-•trnigb'en her up and I told her to
behave in public, and just as I was
icing my nob’est and slip was wppp
ng her hardest and leaning all over
rue along came Miss Bruce!" The
bookkeeper s:gher di$eons< 'ytely
"What did yon do. then’’" asked the
tittle stenographer, deeply Interested
"Nothing! I just gave that tear
stained graven image a shove and
old her to go to blazes!, But Miss
truce had gone pas' by that time!”
