A clergyman suggests that mar
ried men wear wedding rings that
flirts may distinguish them. Some
women claim to be able to spot a
married man merely by looking at
him. _
Some one has said that Solomon
in all his glory did not live as well
as the average man of today with
his salary of $50 a month. That
may be true, but if history is
straight. Solomon had a lot of fun
with the girls.
It seems impossible to ascertain
at what date congress will adjourn.
A good many senators and repre
sentatives believe that they will
get away before the national c6rP‘
ventions meet on the 25. while
there are others who believe that
congress will be in session late in
the summer and possibly into the
early fall.
Democratic senators and mem
bers of the house of representa
tives are unanimous in declaring
that every day brings stronger and
stronger assurances that the Dem
ocrats, will not only elect a presi
dent this fall, but will sweep the
country from ocean to ocean. The
fight between President Taft and
ex-President Roosevelt has gone
so far and the bitterness between
the two has become so intense,
that there is no possibility of heal
ing the deep and painful wounds
that they have inflicted on each
other.
ROOSEVELT'S CAMPAIGN fl)ND.
It is now w 3II known that Roose
velt's backer in this fight for the
Republican nomination is nothing
less than the great "Steel Trust.'
which is a more powerful organiza
tion than the Standard Oil. They
are paying Roosevelt's bills, paying
postage on his literature, hiring
special cars and automobiles and
doing everything that money can
do to insure his nomination.
Roosevelt himself is endeavoring
to create the impression that his
fight against Taft is the result of
popular demand on the part of the
Republican voters, for his nomina
tion, but that popular demand is
created entirely by the enormous
corruption fund cf millions
Roosevelt not only left this greal
trust unharmed when he pros
ecuted the other trusts, but he act
ually helped the Steel Trust to
swallow its only rival and competi
tor. the Tennessee Coal and lror
Co., and Roosevelt actually prom
ised the trust that he would no
interfere with the consolidatior
which made the Steel Trust thf
most powerful corporation this
country has eve' produced.
ALWAYS DEMAND FOR TEETh
One of Pawnbrokers' Best Lines, anc
Incidentally a Boon to the Poor
of Big City.
it
s
A ghastly little heap of false teeth
both upper and lower sets, lay in a
corner of the pawnbroker’s window
amongst second-hand shoes, rusty flat
irons, old clocks and so on.
“Any sale for second-hand false
teeth?” the pawnbroker cried. “Why,
bo, there ain't a more saleable com
modity going. I'll advance money on
a good upper set of false teeth as
quick as on a gold watch.”
Just then an old woman in a dingy
black shawl entered.
“Let me look at the false teeth in
the window—an upper set," she said.
The pawnbroker, with a wink at the
reporter, brought out three double
uandfuls of teeth. These the poor old
woman placed, one set after another,
in her sunken mouth. The sixth set
she pronounced a good fit. Paying for
it with dimes and nickels out of a
worn purse, she departed contentedly,
the teeth wrapped in a piece of news
paper.
"Oh, I tell ye," said the pawnbroker
jubilantly, "there's nothin’ like second
hand teeth. I only gave 30 cents on
that set, and I get one and a quarter
for it. Not bad profits, hey?”

HAD A NAUTICAL CHRISTENING
Sea Captain Knew Only One Form of
Ceremony and Did His Duty as
He Saw It.
Some years ago a slow sailing ves
sel, when some 600 miles out from
Liverpool, picked up a lusty young
ster of five years lashed to a mast.
The captain took a great liking to
him, called him his son and decided
that tne little chap must be christ
ened—one of the few things which
le know must be attended to In the
case of children.
Of course there was no chaplain
aboard, so the captain himself under
took the ceremony, lie gathered th'
nen about him. and with a mixed
cnowledge of his duties he glared
ibout him and asked whether any
->n© knew just cause why the boy
should not be christened.
"If there is,” he roared, “speak up
like a man or forever hold your
tongue.”
Then he suddenly cracked a bottlo
of wine above the boy's head and
christened him*.
The ocean waif is now settled down
—a steady longshoreman, but he still
relates with satisfaction the story of
his christening.
Must Have Been Work of Art.
Critically the friend of the artist
regarded the weird conglomeration ot
color which stood on the easel before
him. He stepped back, bent forward,
looked at. it sidewmys, and twisted his
"What do you think of It?” ques
tioned the aspiring It. A.
"Good! Very good!” his friend an
sw’ered. “It's a perfect portrait; only
—ah—I should be inclined to criticise
one little detail. The original is
scarcely so red in the lace as you
have painted him.”
The artist gasped.
“What on earth are you talking
about?” he asked.
“Your picture! It's your uncle, of
course!”
“My uncle?” cried the amazed wield
er of the brush. "That—that my un

Men Favored to Teach Girls.
Arguments as to whether men or
women should be employed to educate
girls are being heard a great deal
nowadays. Many women think men
teachers exert a greater influence on
girls and make them do more study
ing. Others contend women teachers
have a more refining influence. “I am
tired,” said one man, “of the con
stant demand for women as gover
nesses for girls. I am convinced gov
ernesses have a narrowing influence
on girls, whereas well-trained men
have a broadening mental influence,
it is true the majority of studies may
be taught more effectively by men
and that their minds are more log
ical. It is true women may have
greater tact, more sympathy than
men, but In the training of children
ihe man’s mind, being broader, has a
more lasting influence.”—Pittsburg
Dispatch.
Don’t.
Don’t permit the wild demonstra
tions of temper, the screaming and
kicking which one sometimes—in fact,
too often—witnesses in the little one.
They demoralize both parent and
child. They need never be if the very
first demonstration is controlled and
checked. Mothers and fathers, don’t
forget that in nine cases out of ten.
if you have a spoiled, disagreeable
child to deal with it is your fault
Begin as soon as the babies are born
to train them in the right way, and
! they will grow up happy, healthy and
wise.—Exchange.
He Met the New “Feller.”
“What did you do on your way to
; school this morning, Harold?" asked
Harold's mamma.
“Nothin’ much. I met the new fel
ler that’s moved in next door to us."
' “But the teacher has just written me
1 a note informing me that you were a
! half-hour late for school.”
“Huh! That ain't nothin’. You'd
’ orter see the new kid next door. Ho
I never got to school at all!”

For Alarm
Mrs. Winchester, who has been sit
ing in an attitude of dejected be
wilderment in front of a pile of silks
of various colors and descriptions,
suddenly rises and plucks her friend
Mrs, Palmer from out of the passing
hrerg. She drags her victim back
vitli her to the silk counter.)
Mrs Winchester—My dear. I’m so
glad to see you that 1 could fall on
your neck and weep. You’ve simply
got to select a gown for me. Really.
I've been through so much the last
two weeks that I’m not capable of se

would serve the present purpose
which it won’t.

lon’t think it's quite what I want.

but it does attract me so.
"Yes, indeed, I feel almost as sorry
for her as I do for myself. Think of

Ethel sighed compassionately.
"She was ready for college when
she was sixteen, and Tom says she
