A fellow loves to look at a girl’s
picture; but before he marries her
her wants to hold her hand.
Well, anyhow, those Mexicans
are not pouring acid in the letter
boxes or destroying the golf links.
Turkey is giving the world a
striking demonstration of what it
costs a nation to commit an error
in judgement.
Another far west flourishing in
dustry has received a setback.
Nevada’s divorce mill, it is report
ed, is soon to reduce its output.
The “Georgia Cyclone" says that
when Wilson rides down the ave
nue on the 4th, he will pass 57
saloons. However, thousands of
other men won't Dass ’em.
Baltimore has discovered a mar
ried woman who never was kissed
and never wanted to be. She was
in the divorce court—where she
belonged, unless they could make
room for her at the asylum. P.
S.—The woman is probably a liar.
It is not necessary for the farmer (
to imagine, that he must work out
all of his problems for himself. If
he waits to do that, most of them
will never be solved. The poor
man who wishes to get ahead
should be a reading man. He
should read about his work-in
farm papers, in experiment station
and national department bulletins,
in books on agriculture as he gets
able to buy them. Such reading,
if done with judgment, has a direct
cash value. It will bring in the
dollars.
We can never catch up with the
Yankee farmers making money un
til we begin saving time, labor and
expenses as they do. They are all
the time inventing some new labor
saving tool or piece of machinery,
or tuying some such thing the
other fellow has invented. We
must do likewise if we wish to
prosper as they do. Two. three
four-horse plows, stump-pullers,
manure spreaders, the best plant
ers and harrows and riding cultiva
tors, wheat harvesters and corn
binders—these are the things that
make the Western farmer rich, be
cause they enable him to run his
brain with two. three, five or ten
horse power instead of one-horse
power.—The Progressive Farmer.
WHY CONGKESS SHOULD ACT.
There is no reason why Con
gress should delay action for a new
currency and banking law beyond
the special session to be called
this spring. Congress is in posses
sion of complete information as to
the operation of the banking sys
tems in this and all other coun
tries. Aside from numerour dis
astrous experiences, terminating in
the panic of 1907. with their
eloquent information, the lawmak
ers have before them the 23 vol
umes of the report of the National
Monetary Commission. This re
port is the most exhaustive com
pendium of information as to
American and foreign banking sys- '
terns and methods ever compiled.
In addition, the House subcommit
tee has been making special study ]
of the question since last spring

and has been hearing the views of
bankers and business men for sev
eral weeks. The general question
of banking and currency reform
has been under constant investiga
tion and study since 1907.
Knowledge knows no party. In
formation is information whether
Democrat or Repulican uncovers
it. If Congress cannot act at the
special session, because it require:
further time to investigate. Con
gress might as well postpone actior
indefinitely for the same reason.
EACH IV!AN OWNS STREET CAP.
Public Conveyances Are Not De
pended Upon in Mombasa—Draft
Animals Unknown.
There are no horses or draft ani
mals in Mombasa; the fly is too dead
ly. Therefore all hauling is done by
hand. The tiny tracks of the unique
street car system run everywhere
any one would wish to go, branching
ofT even into private grounds and to
the very front doors of bungalows far
out of town. Each resident owns his
own street car. .lust «» elsewhere a man
has his own carriage. There are, of
course, public cars also, each with its
pair of boys to push it, and also a
number of rather decrepit rickshaws.
As a natural corollary to the passen
ger traffic, the freighting also is hand
led by the blacks on large, flat trucks
with short guiding poles. These men
are quite naked save for a small loin
cloth; are beautifully shaped and
glisten all over from the perspiration
shining in the sun. So fine the tex
ture of their skins, thp softness of
their color, so rippling the play of
muscles, that this shining perspiration
is like a beautiful polish. They push
them behind, slowly and steadily and
patiently and unwaveringly, the most
remendous loads of the heaviest
stuffs. When the hill becomes too
steep for them they turn their
backs against the truck, and by plac
ing one foot behind the other, a few
inches at a time, they edge their bur
den up the slope.—Stewart Edward
White, in Harper's Magazine.

the Pacific. The storm reached its
height the next day, when the Michi
gan was in latitude 50:10 and longi
tude 33. Many ships have told lately
of waves mountain high, but that
shows that the storm was not first
class. Captain Ritchie reports the
rpal thing as described in tales of sea
adventure, the wind blowing so hard '
and steady that the ocean was as fiat
as the floor of a ballroom. Every
wave that tried to lift its head was
swept away in a mass of spume, and
the air was so full of flying water that
vision was Impossible. For sixteen
hours the engines were stopped, the
ship careening so far to port that she
could not be steered. Then the hurri
cane. the center of which ipust have
passed very close, moderated, and the
mountainous waves began, but it may
be noted that the Michigan was much
less battered than many ships which
encountered bigger seas end less
wind; wind alone does much less dam
age to a steamer than to a sailing
ship, with its spider web of spars and
cordage.
Underdone.
Gustav Zorn, proprietor of the new
million-dollar hotel in Bad Nauheim,
who has come here to study Ameri
can hotels, discussed our cooking in
New York.
"American cooking,” he said,
"pleases me very much. Your south
ern dishes I particularly Kke. The
French chef, whom we find in the
large hotel all over the world, would
do well to adopt some of your dishes.
He would do well, for example, to sub
stitute ‘chicken Maryland style' for
such a dish as poached ortolan
brains.”
Herr Zorn smiled.
"Poached ortolan brains—no exag
geration.” he said, “of the sort of
dishes a certain type of FreiK'h chefs
love to serve. Such a chef—the gour
met’s chef—cooks fish that are not
cleaned, and birds so rare they seem
not to be cooked at all. Indeed, these
fellows have an axiom that the way to
cook a snipe is:
“ ‘Let it fly once through a hot
kitchen.’ ”
Why He Didn’t Wire.
Arthur Stringer, the author, owns a
farm up in Canada. On this farm,
which is operated by a French-Cana
dian son of the soil named Michel Ba
roque, Stringer confounds the Frost
King by struggling with an occasional
crop of Kentucky tobacco. Last fall
the author, returning to New York
before his “burley” was harvested,
received this epistle from his faithful
adjutant in Ontario:

France In 1789.
In France, at the close of the eight
eenth century, the privileged classes
counted 2fin,000 persons. Of these
140,000 were nobles; IM0 clergy of
about .10,000 noble families; 215.000
monks, in 2.500 monasteries; .17,000 ;
nuns in I.moo convents, and fib.OOQ j
curates, vicars, etc The soil of France
was divided as follows: One-fiPh to
the crown, twoflfths to the people,
one-fifth to the nobles and one fifth
to the clergy. Deducting the public
land, one-half belonged to the privi
leged classes, and all the taxes for
the support of the nation came from
the two fifth belonging to the people.
LEAVE REMINISCENCE TO MEN
Seldom Does One Hear a Woman,
Though Possessed of Weal i,
Boast of Being Self-Made.
Men often brag about being self
made, but whoever heard a woman in
her box at. the Metropolitan or at tea
at, the Ritz-Carlton describe her rise
from hired girl or millhand?
Practically all American men are
self-made and when Andy and John
1> and the rest get together, it is Iheir
delight to talk of the days when they
noed potatoes at bn cents a week or
ran rrrmas at $t.r>0. They talk, in
deed. with much more intelligence
i and animation about such things than
| about th«ir fake Raphaels and Corots.
But practically ail our women are
I self-made. too. and locked in their
■ breasts are the liveliest memories of
being filed from the shoe factory for
massing the boss, of taking in washing
while John was sick and out of work,
and so forth and so on. But do our
women, imitating our men, narrate
these youthful memories between the
acts of Butterfly at the opera, between
the langouste a la Colbert and the
chrufroid do gibier?
Never! But languidly lifting their
gold lorgnettes, they talk of their
new limousines, their rivieres of dia
monds, their dog collars of pearls, and
here one tells an anecdote about her
;randson. the little Earl of Wessex,
and there a one-time shopgirl de
.♦ribes the success of her daughter,
the marquise, amongst the proud old
royalties of the Faubourg Saint Ger
main.
And does all this indicate that our
self-made women are vainer than our
self-made men, or does it indicate
;hat they are wiser?
